 The Annuity Contract
The fixed and variable annuity Contract offered by Jackson provides a means for allocating on a tax-deferred basis for non-qualified Contracts to the Fixed Accounts and investment divisions (the “Investment Divisions”).  In addition to the Fixed Accounts, if you elected the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB, automatic transfers of your Contract Value may be allocated to a GMWB Fixed Account.  (We refer to the Fixed Accounts, GMWB Fixed Account and the Investment Divisions together as the “Allocation Options”).  The Contract is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes and provides for a death benefit and income options.
   
 Allocation Options
Although more than 18 Investment Divisions, Fixed Accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account are available under your Contract, you may not allocate your Contract Value to more than 18 Allocation Options at any one time.  Additionally, you may not choose to allocate your premiums to the GMWB Fixed Account; however, Contract Value may be automatically allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account according to non-discretionary formulas if you have purchased the optional LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB.
   
 Expenses
The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each.
   
 
Jackson makes a deduction for its insurance and administration charges that is equal to 1.40% of the daily value of the Contracts invested in the Investment Divisions.  If you select our Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option, Jackson makes a deduction for its insurance and administration charges that is equal to 1.50% of the daily value of the Contracts invested in the Investment Divisions.  If you select our Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, Jackson deducts an additional charge equal to 0.20% of the daily net asset value of Contracts invested in the Investment Divisions.  These charges do not apply to the Fixed Accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account.  During the accumulation phase, Jackson deducts a $35 annual contract maintenance charge from your Contract.
   
 
If you select any one of our GMWBs, Jackson deducts an additional charge, the maximum of which ranges from 0.51% to 1.86% of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB).  While the charge is deducted from your Contract Value, it is based on the GWB.  For more information, including how the GWB is calculated, please see “Contract Charges.”
   
 
If you take your money out of the Contract, Jackson may assess a withdrawal charge.  The withdrawal charge starts at 7% in the first year after receipt of a premium payment and declines 1% a year to 0% after 7 years.
   
 
Jackson may assess a state premium tax charge which ranges from 0% - 3.5% (the amount of state premium tax, if any, will vary from state to state) when you begin receiving regular income payments from your Contract,
 
 
1

 
 
when you make a withdrawal or, in states where required, at the time premium payments are made.
 
There are also investment charges, which are expected to range from 0.57% to 2. 42 %, on an annual basis, of the average daily value of the Funds, depending on the Fund.
 
Purchases
Under most circumstances, you can buy a Contract for $5,000 or more ($2,000 or more for a qualified plan Contract).  You can add $500 ($50 under the automatic payment plan) or more at any time during the accumulation phase.  We reserve the right to refuse initial and any or all subsequent premium payment s .  We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract (i.e., the Withdrawal Charge and the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge).
 
Optional Endorsements
Not all optional endorsements are available in all states or through all broker-dealers.  The availability of optional endorsements may reflect state prohibitions and variations, Jackson’s reservation of the right not to offer certain optional endorsements, and broker-dealer selections.  The representative assisting you will advise you whether an optional benefit is available and of any variations.
 
Access to Your Money
During the accumulation phase, there are a number of ways to take money out of your Contract, generally subject to a charge or adjustment.  You may also have to pay income tax and a tax penalty on any money you take out.
 
Income Payments
You may choose to receive regular income from your annuity.  During the income phase, you have the same variable allocation options.
 
Death Benefit
If you die before moving to the income phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death benefit.  If you select the Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, the death benefit your beneficiary receives may be increased by 40% of earnings up to a maximum of 100% of the premiums you have paid (25% of earnings for Owners ages 70-75).
 
Free Look
If you cancel your Contract within 20 days after receiving it (or whatever period is required in your state), Jackson will return the amount your Contract is worth on the day we receive your request or the Contract is returned to your selling agent.  This may be more or less than your original payment.  If required by law, Jackson will return your premium.  In some states, we are required to hold the premiums of a senior citizen in a guaranteed fixed account during the free look period, unless we are specifically directed to allocate the premiums to the Investment Divisions.  State laws vary; your free look rights will depend on the laws of the state in which you purchased the Contract.
 
Taxes
Under the Internal Revenue Code you generally will not be taxed on the earnings on the money held in your Contract until you take money out (this is referred to as tax-deferral).  There are different rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how you take the money out and whether your Contract is non-qualified or purchased as part of a qualified plan.

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering the Contract.  The first table (and footnotes) describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy and surrender the Contract, receive income payments or transfer Contract Value between Allocation Options.  State premium taxes may also be deducted.

Commutation Fee:  Upon a total withdrawal after income payments have commenced under income option 4, or if after death during the period for which payments are guaranteed under income option 3 and beneficiary elects a lump sum payment, the amount received will be reduced by (a) minus (b) where:
 
●          (a) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at the rate assumed in calculating the initial payment; and
 
●         (b) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at a rate no more than 1% higher than the rate used in (a).

B
JNAM has entered into a contractual agreement with the Fund under which it will waive a portion of its advisory fee for such time as the Fund is operated as a Feeder Fund, because during that time it will not be providing the portfolio management portion of the investment advisory and management services. This fee waiver will generally continue as long as the Fund is part of a master-feeder Fund structure, but in any event, the fee waiver will continue for at least one year

from the date of this Prospectus, unless the Board of Trustees approves a change in or elimination of the waiver. This fee waiver is subject to yearly review and approval by the Board of Trustees. The Management and Admin Fee and the Annual Operating Expense columns in this table reflect the inclusion of the contractual fee waivers.
 
C
JNAM has entered into a contractual agreement with the Fund under which it will waive a portion of its advisory fee for at least one year from the date of this Prospectus. Thereafter, the waiver will automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Adviser provides written notice of the termination of the agreement to the Board of Trustees within 30 days of the end of the then current term.
 
D
JNAM has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to limit the total operating expenses of each class of shares of the Fund, exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividend and extraordinary expenses, to an annual rate (as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund) equal to or less than the Fund’s investment income for the period.  The fee waiver will continue for at least one year from the date of this Prospectus, unless the Board of Trustees approves a change in or elimination of the waiver. This fee waiver is subject to yearly review and approval by the Board of Trustees.
 
 
The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts.  These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate account annual expenses and fund fees and expenses.
 
(The Annual Contract Maintenance Charge is determined by dividing the total amount of such charges collected during the calendar year by the total market value of the Investment Divisions, Fixed Accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account, if applicable.)
 
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated.  Neither transfer fees nor premium tax charges are reflected in the example.  The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return on assets each year.
 
The following example includes maximum Fund fees and expenses and the cost if you select the Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option and the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (using the maximum possible charge).  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
 
If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:
 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$ 710
$1,9 43
$3, 140
$ 6,001
 
If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:
 
1 year *
3 years
5 years
10 years
$ 710
$1,9 43
$3, 140
$ 6,001
 
*  Withdrawal charges apply to income payments occurring within one year of the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
If you do not surrender your Contract:
 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$6 40
$1,8 93
$3, 110
$ 6,001
 
The example does not represent past or future expenses.  Your actual costs may be higher or lower.
 
 
The information about the values of all accumulation units constitutes the condensed financial information, which can be found in the Statement of Additional Information.  The value of an accumulation unit is determined on the basis of changes in the per share value of an underlying fund and Separate Account charges for the base Contract and the various combinations of optional endorsements.  The financial statements of the Separate Account and Jackson can be found in the Statement of Additional Information.  The financial statements of the Separate Account include information about all the contracts offered through the Separate Account.  The financial statements of Jackson that are included should be considered only as bearing upon the company’s ability to meet its contractual obligations under the Contracts.  Jackson’s financial statements do not bear on the future investment experience of the assets held in the Separate Account.  For your copy of the Statement of Additional Information, please contact us at the Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

The fixed and variable annuity Contract offered by Jackson is a Contract between you, the Owner, and Jackson, an insurance company.  The Contract provides a means for allocating on a tax-deferred basis to the Investment Divisions, the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account (only if the optional LifeGuard Select GMWB or LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB were elected).  The Contract is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes and provides for a death benefit and guaranteed income options.
 
The Contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases:  (1) the accumulation phase and (2) the income phase.  Withdrawals under a non-qualified contract will be taxable on an “income first” basis.  This means that any withdrawal from a non-qualified contract that does not exceed the accumulated income under the Contract will be taxable in full.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified contract will be taxable except to the extent that they are allocable to an investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions).  In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.  Income payments under either a non-qualified contract or a tax-qualified contract will be taxable except to the extent that they represent a partial repayment of the investment in the Contract.
 
The Contract offers guaranteed fixed accounts.  The guaranteed fixed accounts each offer a minimum interest rate that is guaranteed by Jackson for the duration of the guaranteed fixed account period.  While your money is in a guaranteed fixed account, the interest your money earns and your principal are guaranteed by Jackson.  The value of a guaranteed fixed account may be reduced if you make a withdrawal prior to the end of the guaranteed fixed account period, but will never be less than the premium payments accumulated at 3% per year.  If you choose to have your annuity payments come from the guaranteed fixed accounts, your payments will remain level throughout the entire income phase.
 
In addition to the guaranteed fixed accounts, there is a GMWB Fixed Account.  The GMWB Fixed Account is available only in conjunction with the purchase of the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB.  If you elected to purchase one of these two GMWBs, automatic transfers of your Contract Value may be required to and from the GMWB Fixed Account according to non-discretionary formulas.  You may not allocate additional monies to the GMWB Fixed Account.  For more information regarding the GMWB Fixed Account, please see below.
 
The Contract also offers Investment Divisions.  The Investment Divisions are designed to offer the potential for a higher return than the guaranteed fixed accounts.  However, this is not guaranteed.  It is possible for you to lose your Contract Value allocated to any of the Investment Divisions.  If you put money in the Investment Divisions, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of the Investment Divisions you select.  The amount of the income payments you receive during the income phase also will depend, in part, on the performance of the Investment Divisions you choose for the income phase.
 
As the Owner, you can exercise all the rights under the Contract.  You can assign the Contract at any time during your lifetime but Jackson will not be bound until it receives written notice of the assignment (there is an assignment form).  An assignment may be a taxable event.  Your ability to change ownership is limited on Contracts with one of the For Life GMWBs.  Please contact our Annuity Service Center for help and more information.
 
The Contract is a flexible premium fixed and variable deferred annuity and may be issued as either an individual or a group contract.  Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits than those described in this prospectus.  This prospectus provides a description of the material rights and obligations under the Contract.  Your Contract and any endorsements are the formal contractual agreement between you and the Company.  In those states where Contracts are issued as group contracts, references throughout the prospectus to “Contract(s)” shall also mean “certificate(s).”

Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account and/or the GMWB Fixed Account will be placed with other assets in Jackson’s General Account.  Unlike the Separate Account, the General Account is not segregated or insulated from the claims of the insurance company’s creditors.  Investors are looking to the financial strength of the insurance company for its obligations under the Contract, including, for example, guaranteed minimum death benefits and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits.  The guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account are not registered with the SEC and the SEC does not review the information we provide to you about them.  Disclosures regarding the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account, however, may be subject to the general provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.  Your Contract contains a more complete description of the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
 
The Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) Fixed Account.

The Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account is credited with a specific interest rate.  The interest rate initially declared for each transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account will remain in effect for a period of not less than one year.  GMWB Fixed Account interest rates for subsequent periods may be higher or lower than the rates previously declared.  The interest rate is credited daily to the Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account and the rate may vary by state but will never be less than 3%.  Please contact us at the Annuity Service Center or contact your representative to obtain the currently declared GMWB Fixed Account interest rate for your state.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Contract charges deducted from the guaranteed fixed accounts and Investment Divisions are also deducted from the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with your Contract’s provisions.  DCA, DCA+, Earnings Sweep and Automatic Rebalancing are not available to or from the GMWB Fixed Account.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers, withdrawals or deductions from the GMWB Fixed Account.  Transfers to and from the GMWB Fixed Account are automatic according to non-discretionary formulas; you may not choose to transfer amounts to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.  These automatic transfers will not count against the 15 free transfers in a Contract Year.  You will receive a confirmation statement reflecting the automatic transfer of any Contract Value to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.

Any change to the then existing automatic program is not permitted if you wish to continue an allocation to the Division. The Divisions are not available for any new or revised allocation instructions under any automatic program.  If you make a subsequent Premium payment and still have future allocation instructions on file with us that include an allocation to any of the Divisions, you must choose a replacement Investment Division. All such allocations prior to our receipt of new allocation instructions will be allocated to the JNL/WMC Money Market Investment Division. Please consult your representative promptly to assist you in subsequently reallocating the Contract Value in the JNL/WMC Money Market Investment Division to any other available Investment Division.  If you have a Select Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB), automatic transfers apply under the Transfer of Assets provision. The automatic transfers are allocated based on your future allocation instructions, described in the preceding paragraph.  Therefore, when you change your allocation instructions for subsequent Premium payments, you will also be changing your instructions under the Transfer of Assets provision. Prior to our receipt of new future allocation instructions, the automatic transfers will continue to be based on your existing instructions.  Amounts invested in any of the Divisions as of August 29, 2011 will remain invested unless we receive instruction from you. You may continue to make transfers and withdrawals out of any of the Divisions in connection with the usual transactions under a Contract, such as partial withdrawals or withdrawals under a GMWB, if available. However, if you transfer out of any of the Divisions, you will not be able to transfer back in.

The investment objectives and policies of certain of the Funds are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual Funds that certain of the investment sub-advisers manage.  Although the objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the Funds may be higher or lower than the result of such mutual Funds.  We cannot guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar funds will be comparable even though the funds have the same investment sub-advisers.  The Funds described are available only through variable annuity Contracts issued by Jackson.  They are NOT offered or made available to the general public directly.
 
A Fund’s performance may be affected by risks specific to certain types of investments, such as foreign securities, derivative investments, non-investment grade debt securities, initial public offerings (IPOs) or companies with relatively small market capitalizations.  IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small asset base.  A Fund may not experience similar performance as its assets grow.
 
You should read the prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust and the JNL Variable Fund LLC carefully before investing.  Additional Funds and Investment Divisions may be available in the future.  The prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust and the JNL Variable Fund LLC are attached to this prospectus.  However, these prospectuses may also be obtained at no charge by calling 1-800- 644-4565 (Annuity and Life Service Center) or 1-800-777-7779 (for contracts purchased through a bank or financial institution), by writing P.O. Box 30314, Lansing, Michigan 48909-7814, or by visiting www.jackson.com.
 
Voting Rights. To the extent required by law, Jackson will obtain from you and other Owners of the Contracts instructions as to how to vote when the Funds solicit proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders.  When Jackson receives instructions, we will vote all the shares Jackson owns in proportion to those instructions.  An effect of this proportional voting is that a relatively small number of Owners may determine the outcome of a vote.
 
Substitution. Jackson may be required, or determine in its sole discretion, to substitute a different mutual Fund for the one in which the Investment Division is currently invested.  This will be done with any required approval of the SEC.  Jackson will give you notice of such transactions.
 
 
There are charges associated with your Contract, the deduction of which will reduce the investment return of your Contract.  Charges are deducted proportionally from your Contract Value.  Some of these charges are for optional endorsements, as noted, so they are deducted from your Contract Value only if you selected to add that optional endorsement to your Contract.  These charges may be a lesser amount where required by state law or as described below, but will not be increased.  We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract.  These charges (and certain other expenses) are as follows:
 
 
29

 
 
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the accumulation units and annuity units, we make a deduction for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  On an annual basis, this charge equals 1.25% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.  This charge is 0.12% lower (1.13% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions) if you select the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit to reflect the replacement of the standard death benefit.  The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is covered by a separate additional charge (see below).
 
The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge does not apply to the guaranteed fixed accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge compensates us for the risks we assume in connection with all the Contracts, not just your Contract.  The mortality risks that Jackson assumes arise from our obligations under the Contracts:
 
●      
to make income payments for the life of the annuitant during the income phase;
 
●      
to waive the withdrawal charge in the event of your death; and
 
●      
to provide both a standard and enhanced death benefit prior to the income date.
 
The expense risk that Jackson assumes is the risk that our actual cost of administering the Contracts and the Investment Divisions will exceed the amount that we receive from the administration charge and the annual contract maintenance charge.
 
Administration Charge. Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the accumulation units and annuity units, we make a deduction for administration charges.  On an annual basis, these charges equal 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.  This charge does not apply to the guaranteed fixed accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account.  This charge compensates us for our expenses incurred in administering the Contracts and the Separate Account.
 
Earnings Protection Benefit (“EarningsMax”) Charge. If you select the Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, each day during the accumulation phase of your Contract Jackson makes a deduction for the charge for this benefit.  We do this as part of our calculation of the value of the accumulation units.  On an annual basis, this charge equals 0.20% of the daily net asset value of the Contracts having this Endorsement that are invested in an Investment Division, after expenses have been deducted.  This charge does not apply to the guaranteed fixed accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account.  We stop deducting this charge if you annuitize your Contract.
 
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Charge. If you select the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Endorsement, each day during the accumulation phase of your Contract Jackson makes a deduction for the charge for this benefit.  We do this as part of our calculation of the value of the accumulation units.  On an annual basis, this charge equals 0.22% of the daily net asset value of the Contracts having this Endorsement that are invested in an Investment Division, after expenses have been deducted.  This charge does not apply to the guaranteed fixed accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account.  We stop deducting this charge if you annuitize your Contract.
 
Annual Contract Maintenance Charge. During the accumulation phase, Jackson deducts a $35 ($30 in Washington) annual contract maintenance charge on each anniversary of the date on which your Contract was issued.  If you make a complete withdrawal from your Contract, the annual contract maintenance charge will also be deducted.  This charge is for administrative expenses.  The annual contract maintenance charge will be assessed on the Contract Anniversary or upon full withdrawal and generally is taken from the Investment Divisions, the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account based on the proportion their respective value bears to the Contract Value.
 
Jackson will not deduct this charge if, when the deduction is to be made, the value of your Contract is $50,000 or more.  Jackson may discontinue this practice at any time.
 
Transfer Fee. A transfer fee of $25 will apply to transfers in excess of 15 in a Contract year.  Jackson may waive the transfer fee in connection with Earnings Sweep or pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or may charge a lesser fee where required by state law.
 
Commutation Fee. If you make a total withdrawal from your Contract after income payments have commenced under income option 4, or if after your death during the periods for which payments are guaranteed to be made under income option 3, your beneficiary elects to receive a lump sum payment, the amount received will be reduced by (a) minus (b) where:
 
●      
(a) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at the rate assumed in calculating the initial payment; and
 
 
30

 
 
      
(b) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at a rate no more than 1% higher than the rate used in (a).
 
Withdrawal Charge. During the accumulation phase (if and to the extent the Contract Value is sufficient to pay any remaining withdrawal charges that remain after a withdrawal), you can make withdrawals from your Contract without a Withdrawal Charge.
 
●      
At any time during the accumulation phase, you may withdraw premiums that are not subject to a Withdrawal Charge (premiums in your annuity for seven years or longer and not previously withdrawn).
 
●      
Once every year, you may withdraw the greater of earnings or 10% of premiums paid (not yet withdrawn)(“Free Withdrawal”).  Withdrawals in excess of that will be charged a Withdrawal Charge starting at 7% in the first year and declining 1% a year to 0% after 7 years.  The Withdrawal Charge compensates us for costs associated with selling the Contracts.  Required minimum distributions will reduce the 10% Free Withdrawal amount.
 
For purposes of the withdrawal charge, Jackson treats withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest remaining premium.  If you make a full withdrawal, the Withdrawal Charge is based on premiums remaining in the Contract.  If you make a full withdrawal, you will not receive the benefit of the Free Withdrawal and the entire amount withdrawn will be subject to a Withdrawal Charge.  If you withdraw only part of the value of your Contract, we deduct the Withdrawal Charge from the remaining value in your Contract.
 
Note:  Withdrawals under a non-qualified Contract will be taxable on an “income first” basis.  This means that any withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract that does not exceed the accumulated income under the Contract will be taxable in full.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract will be taxable except to the extent that they are allocable to investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions).  In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified Contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.
 
Jackson does not assess the Withdrawal Charge on any payments paid out as (1) income payments after the first year, (2) death benefits, or (3) withdrawals necessary to satisfy the required minimum distribution of the Internal Revenue Code (but if the withdrawal requested exceeds the required minimum distribution; if the Contract was purchased with contributions from a nontaxable transfer, after the Owners death, of an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA); or is a Roth IRA annuity, then the entire withdrawal will be subject to the withdrawal charge).  Withdrawals for terminal illness or other specified conditions as defined by Jackson may not be subject to a Withdrawal Charge.  These provisions are not available in all states.
 
Jackson may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Withdrawal Charge when the Contract is sold under circumstances which reduce its sales expense.  Some examples are: the purchase of a Contract by a large group of individuals or an existing relationship between Jackson and a prospective purchaser.  Jackson may not deduct a Withdrawal Charge under a Contract issued to an officer, director, agent or employee of Jackson or any of its affiliates.

We deduct the charge from your Contract Value.  Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account.  In Washington State, the monthly charges are also pro rata, but deducted over the applicable Investment Divisions only.  With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units rather than as part of the calculation to determine Accumulation Unit Value.  While the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB.  Upon termination of the endorsement, including upon conversion (if conversion is permitted), the charge is prorated for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge.
 
We reserve the right to prospectively change the charge on new Contracts, or if you select this benefit after your Contract is issued, subject to the applicable maximum annual charge.  We may also change the charge when there is a step-up on or after the fifth Contract Anniversary, again subject to the maximum annual charge.  If the GMWB charge is to increase, a notice will be sent to you 45 days prior to the Contract Anniversary.  You may then elect to discontinue the automatic step-up provision and the GMWB charge will not increase but remain at its then current level.  Please be aware that election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.  While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  Also know that you may

subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision together with the GWB bonus provision at the then current GMWB Charge. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
The actual deduction of the charge will be reflected in your quarterly statement. You will continue to pay the charge for the endorsement through the earlier date that you annuitize the Contract or your Contract Value is zero.  Also, we will stop deducting the charge under the other circumstances that would cause the endorsement to terminate.  For more information, please see “Termination” under “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus And Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 126 .  Please check with your representative to learn about the current level of the charge, or contact us at the Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the first page of the prospectus.  In addition, please consult the representative to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of the GMWB and a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation. For more information about how the endorsement works, please see “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus And Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 119 .  Also see “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  47  for additional important information to consider when purchasing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit.

Other Expenses. Jackson pays the operating expenses of the Separate Account, including those not covered by the mortality and expense and administrative charges.  There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Funds.  These expenses are described in the attached prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust and the JNL Variable Fund LLC.
 
Premium Taxes. Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes or other similar taxes.  Jackson is responsible for the payment of these taxes and may make a deduction from the value of the Contract for them.  Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5% (the amount of state premium tax, if any, will vary from state to state).
 
Income Taxes. Jackson reserves the right, when calculating unit values, to deduct a credit or charge with respect to any taxes paid by or reserved for Jackson during the valuation period which are determined by Jackson to be attributable to the operation of the Separate Account, or to a particular Investment Division.  No federal income taxes are applicable under present law, and we are not making any such deduction.
 
 
Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (“JNLD” or “Distributor”) located at 7601 Technology Way, Denver, Colorado 80237, serves as the distributor of the Contracts.  JNLD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson.  JNLD is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).  JNLD is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).   For more information on broker-dealers and their registered representatives, you may use the FINRA BrokerCheck program via telephone (1-800-289-9999) or internet (www.finra.org).
 
Commissions are paid to broker-dealers who sell the Contracts.  While commissions may vary, they are not expected to exceed 8% of any premium payment.  Where lower commissions are paid up front, we may also pay trail commissions.  We may also pay commissions on the Income Date if the annuity option selected involves a life contingency or a payout over a period of ten or more years.
 
Under certain circumstances, JNLD out of its own resources may pay bonuses, overrides, and marketing allowances, in addition to the standard commissions.  These payments and/or reimbursements to broker-dealers are in recognition of their marketing and distribution and/or administrative services support.  They may not be offered to all broker-dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement may vary widely among broker-dealers depending on, among other things, the level and type of marketing and distribution support provided assets under management, and the volume and size of the sales of our insurance products.  They may provide us greater access to the registered representatives of the broker-dealers receiving such compensation or may otherwise influence the broker-dealer and/or registered representative to present the Contracts more favorably than other investment alternatives.  Such compensation is subject to applicable state insurance law and regulation and the NASD rules of conduct.  While such compensation may be significant, it will not cause any additional direct charge by us to you.
 
The two primary forms of such compensation paid by the Company are overrides and marketing support payments.  Overrides are payments that are designed as consideration for product placement and sales volume.  Overrides are generally based on a fixed percentage of product sales and generally range from 10 to 50 basis points (0.10% to 0.50%).  Marketing support payments may be in the form of cash and/or non-cash compensation and allow us to, among other things, participate in sales conferences (for example, national, regional and top producer meetings) , sponsorships and educational seminars.  Examples of such payments include, but are not limited to, reimbursements for representative training or “due diligence” meetings (including travel and lodging expenses), client events, speaker fees and business development and educational enhancement items, including payments to third party vendors for such items.  Payments or reimbursements for meetings and seminars are generally based on the anticipated level of participation and/or accessibility and the size of the audience.  Subject to NASD rules of conduct, we may also provide cash and/or non-cash compensation to registered representatives in the form of gifts, promotional items and occasional meals and entertainment. Individual registered representatives may receive differing levels of sales and service support.

We may, under certain circumstances where permitted by applicable law, pay a bonus to a Contract purchaser to the extent the broker-dealer waives its commission.  You can learn about the amount of any available bonus by calling the toll-free number on the cover page of this prospectus.  Contract purchasers should inquire of the representative if such bonus is available to them and its compliance with applicable law.  We may use any of our corporate assets to cover the cost of distribution, including any profit from the Contract’s mortality and expense risk charge and other charges.  Besides Jackson National Life Distributors LLC, we are affiliated with the following broker-dealers:
 
●         
National Planning Corporation,
 
●         
SII Investments, Inc.,
 
●         
IFC Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Invest Financial Corporation,

The Distributor also has the following relationships with the sub-advisers and their affiliates.  The Distributor receives payments from certain sub-advisers to assist in defraying the costs of certain promotional and marketing meetings in which they participate.  The amounts paid depend on the nature of the meetings, the number of meetings attended, the costs expected to be incurred and the level of the sub-adviser’s participation.  Our affiliated broker-dealers may also sell the retail mutual funds of certain sub-advisers.  In addition, the Distributor acts as distributor of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Other Contracts”) issued by Jackson National Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York.  Raymond James Financial Services, a brokerage affiliate of the sub-adviser to the JNL/Eagle Funds, participates in the sale of Contracts and is compensated by JNLD for its activities at the standard rates of compensation.  Unaffiliated broker-dealers are also compensated at the standard rates of compensation.  The compensation consists of commissions, trail commissions and other compensation or promotional incentives as described above and in the prospectus or statement of additional information for the Other Contracts.
 
All of the compensation described here, and other compensation or benefits provided by Jackson or our affiliates, may be greater or less than the total compensation on similar or other products.  The amount and/or structure of the compensation can possibly create a potential conflict of interest as it may influence your registered representative, broker-dealer or selling institution to present this Contract over other investment alternatives.  The variations in compensation, however, may also reflect differences in sales effort or ongoing customer services expected of the registered representative or the broker-dealer.  You may ask your registered representative about any variations and how he or she and his or her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Contract.

There is a $100 minimum balance requirement for each Investment Division and guaranteed fixed account.  A withdrawal request that would reduce the remaining Contract Value to less than $100 will be treated as a request for a complete withdrawal. 
 
Allocations of PremiumWhen you purchase a Contract, Jackson will allocate your premium to one or more of the Allocation Options you have selected.  Your allocations must be in whole percentages ranging from 0% to 100%.  The minimum that you may allocate to a guaranteed fixed account or Investment Division is $100.  Jackson will allocate additional premiums in the same way unless you tell us otherwise.
 
There may be more than 18 Investment Divisions available under the Contract; however, you may not allocate your money to more than 18 Investment Divisions plus the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account during the life of your Contract.  Additionally, you may not choose to allocate your premiums to the GMWB Fixed Account; however, Contract Value may be automatically allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account according to non-discretionary formulas if you have purchased the optional LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB.  For more detailed information regarding LifeGuard Select, please see “For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up Endorsement” beginning on page 128 .)  For more detailed information regarding LifeGuard Select with Joint Option, please see “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up Endorsement” beginning on page 140 .
 
Jackson will issue your Contract and allocate your first premium within two business days after we receive your first premium and all information that we require for the purchase of a Contract.  If we do not receive all of the information that we require, we will contact you to get the necessary information.  If for some reason Jackson is unable to complete this process within five business days, we will return your money.
 
The Jackson business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).
 
Capital Protection Program. Jackson offers a Capital Protection program that a Contract Owner may request at issue.  Under this program, Jackson will allocate enough of your premium to the guaranteed fixed account you select to assure that the amount so allocated, based on that guaranteed fixed account’s interest rate in effect on the date of allocation, will equal at the end of a selected period of 1, 3, 5, or 7 years, the total premium paid.  The rest of the premium will be allocated to the Investment Divisions based on your allocation.  If any part of the guaranteed fixed account value is surrendered or transferred before the end of the selected guarantee period, the value at the end of that period will not equal the original premium.
 
For an example of Capital Protection, assume you made a premium payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the three-year guaranteed period was 3% per year.  We would allocate $9,152 to that guarantee period because $9,152 would increase at that interest rate to $10,000 after three years, assuming no withdrawals are taken.  The remaining $848 of the payment would be allocated to the Investment Division(s) you selected.
 
Alternatively, assume Jackson receives a premium payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the seven-year period is 6.75% per year.  Jackson will allocate $6,331 to that guarantee period because $6,331 will increase at that interest rate to $10,000 after seven years.  The remaining $3,669 of the payment will be allocated to the Investment Divisions you select.
 
Thus, as these examples demonstrate, the shorter guarantee periods require allocation of substantially all premium to achieve the intended result.  In each case, the results will depend on the interest rate declared for the guarantee period.
 
 
43

 
 
The Capital Protection Program will not be available if you purchase the LifeGuard Select Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit.
 
Accumulation Units. The Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions will go up or down depending on the performance of the divisions.  In order to keep track of the value of your Contract, Jackson uses a unit of measure called an “accumulation unit.”  During the income phase it is called an “Annuity Unit.”
 
Every business day Jackson determines the value of an accumulation unit for each of the Investment Divisions.  This is done by:
 
 
1.
determining the total amount of assets held in the particular Investment Division;
 
 
2.
subtracting any asset-based insurance charges;
 
 
3.
dividing this amount by the number of outstanding accumulation units.
 
Charges deducted through the cancellation of units are not reflected in this computation.
 
The value of an accumulation unit may go up or down from day to day.  The base Contract has a different accumulation unit value than each combination of optional endorsements an Owner may elect, based on the differing amount of charges applied in calculating that accumulation unit value.
 
When you make a premium payment, Jackson credits your Contract with accumulation units.  The number of accumulation units credited is determined at the close of Jackson’s business day by dividing the amount of the premium allocated to any Investment Division by the value of the accumulation unit for that Investment Division that reflects the combination of optional endorsements you have elected and their respective charges.
 
 
You may transfer your Contract Value between and among the Investment Divisions at any time, unless transfers are subject to other limitations, but transfers between a Fixed Account and an Investment Division must occur prior to the Income Date.  Transfers from a Fixed Account may be subject to any applicable interest rate adjustment.  There may be periods when we do not offer the Fixed Accounts, or when we impose special transfer requirements on the Fixed Accounts.  If a renewal occurs within one year of the Income Date, we will continue to credit interest up to the Income Date at the then current interest rate for the Fixed Accounts.  You can make 15 transfers every Contract Year during the accumulation phase without charge.
 
A transfer will be effective as of the end of the business day when we receive your transfer request in Good Order, and we will disclaim all liability for transfers made based on your transfer instructions, or the instructions of a third party authorized to submit transfer requests on your behalf.
 
Restrictions on Transfers: Market Timing. The Contract is not designed for frequent transfers by anyone.  Frequent transfers between and among Investment Divisions may disrupt the underlying Funds and could negatively impact performance, by interfering with efficient management and reducing long-term returns, and increasing administrative costs. Neither the Contracts nor the underlying Funds are meant to promote any active trading strategy, like market timing.  To protect Owners and the underlying Funds, we have policies and procedures to deter frequent transfers between and among the Investment Divisions.
 
Under these policies and procedures, there is a $25 charge per transfer after 15 in a Contract Year, and no round trip transfers are allowed within 15 calendar days.  Also, we could restrict your ability to make transfers to or from one or more of the Investment Divisions, which possible restrictions may include, but are not limited to:
 
●       
limiting the number of transfers over a period of time;
 
●       
requiring a minimum time period between each transfer;
 
●       
limiting transfer requests from an agent acting on behalf of one or more Owners or under a power of attorney on behalf of one or more Owners; or
 
●       
limiting the dollar amount that you may transfer at any one time.
 
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to restrict the number of transfers per year that you can request and to restrict you from making transfers on consecutive business days.  In addition, your right to make transfers between and among
 
 
44

 
 
Investment Divisions may be modified if we determine that the exercise by one or more Owners is, or would be, to the disadvantage of other Owners.
 
We continuously monitor transfers under the Contract for disruptive activity based on frequency, pattern and size.  We will more closely monitor Contracts with disruptive activity, placing them on a watch list, and if the disruptive activity continues, we will restrict the availability of electronic or telephonic means to make a transfer, instead requiring that transfer instructions be mailed through regular U.S. postal service, and/or terminate the ability to make transfers completely, as necessary.  If we terminate your ability to make transfers, you may need to make a partial withdrawal to access the Contract Value in the Investment Division(s) from which you sought a transfer.  We will notify you and your representative in writing within five days of placing the Contract on a watch list.
 
Regarding round trip transfers, we will allow redemptions from an Investment Division; however, once a complete or partial redemption has been made from an Investment Division through an Investment Division transfer, you will not be permitted to transfer any value back into that Investment Division within 15 calendar days of the redemption.  We will treat as short-term trading activity any transfer that is requested into an Investment Division that was previously redeemed within the previous 15 calendar days, whether the transfer was requested by you or a third party.
 
Our policies and procedures do not apply to the money market Investment Division, the Fixed Accounts, the GMWB Fixed Account, Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep or the Automatic Rebalancing program.  We may also make exceptions that involve an administrative error, or a personal unanticipated financial emergency of an Owner resulting from an identified health, employment, or other financial or personal event that makes the existing allocation imprudent or a hardship.  Please contact our Annuity Service Center if you believe your transfer request entails a financial emergency.
 
Otherwise, we do not exempt any person or class of persons from our policies and procedures.  We have agreements allowing for asset allocation and investment advisory services that are not only subject to our policies and procedures, but also to additional conditions and limitations, intended to limit the potential adverse impact of these activities on other Owners of the Contract.  We expect to apply our policies and procedures uniformly, but because detection and deterrence involves judgments that are inherently subjective, we cannot guarantee that we will detect and deter every Contract engaging in frequent transfers every time.  If these policies and procedures are ineffective, the adverse consequences described above could occur. We also expect to apply our policies and procedures in a manner reasonably designed to prevent transfers that we consider to be to the disadvantage of other Owners, and we may take whatever action we deem appropriate, without prior notice, to comply with or take advantage of any state or federal regulatory requirement.
 
 
The Basics. You can request certain transactions by telephone or at www.jackson.com, our Internet website, subject to Jackson’s right to terminate electronic or telephone transfer privileges, as described above.  Our Customer Service representatives are available during business hours to provide you with information about your account.  We require that you provide proper identification before performing transactions over the telephone or through our Internet website.  For Internet transactions, this will include a Personal Identification Number (PIN).  You may establish or change your PIN at www.jackson.com.
 
What You Can Do and How. You may make transfers by telephone or through the Internet unless you elect not to have this privilege.  Any authorization given via an application, the Jackson website, or through other means to Jackson shall be deemed authorization by you for Jackson to accept transaction instructions, including Investment Division transfers/allocations, by you or your financial representative unless we are notified by you to the contrary.  To notify Jackson, please call us at the Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus and the number is referenced in your Contract or on your quarterly statement.
 
What You Can Do and When. When authorizing a transfer, you must complete your telephone call by the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) in order to receive that day’s accumulation unit value for an Investment Division.
 
Transfer instructions you send electronically are considered to be received by Jackson at the time and date stated on the electronic acknowledgement Jackson returns to you.  If the time and date indicated on the acknowledgement is before the close of the New York Stock Exchange, the instructions will be carried out that day.  Otherwise the instructions will be carried out the next business day.  Jackson will retain permanent records of all web-based transactions by confirmation number.  If you do not receive an electronic acknowledgement, you should telephone the Service Center immediately.
 
How to Cancel a TransactionYou may only cancel an earlier telephonic or electronic transfer request made on the same day by calling the Service Center before the New York Stock Exchange closes.  Otherwise, your cancellation instruction will not be allowed because of the round trip transfer restriction.
 
Our Procedures. Jackson has procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that telephone or any other electronic

authorizations are genuine.  Our procedures include requesting identifying information and tape-recording telephone communications, and other specific details.  Jackson and its affiliates disclaim all liability for any claim, loss or expense resulting from any alleged error or mistake in connection with a transaction requested by telephone or other electronic means which was not authorized by you.  However, if Jackson fails to employ reasonable procedures to ensure that all requested transactions are properly authorized, we may be held liable for such losses.
 
Jackson does not guarantee access to telephonic and electronic information or that we will be able to accept transaction instructions via the telephone or electronic means at all times.  Jackson also reserves the right to modify, limit, restrict, or discontinue at any time and without notice the acceptance of instruction from someone other than you and/or this telephonic and electronic transaction privilege.  Elections of any optional benefit or program must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
Upon notification of the Owner’s death, any telephone transfer authorization, other than by the surviving joint Owners, designated by the Owner ceases and Jackson will not allow such transactions unless the executor/representative provides written authorization for a person or persons to act on the executor’s/representative’s behalf.
 
 
You can have access to the money in your Contract:
 
●      
by making either a partial or complete withdrawal,
 
●      
by electing the systematic withdrawal program,
 
●      
by electing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit, or
 
●      
by electing to receive income payments.
 
Your beneficiary can have access to the money in your Contract when a death benefit is paid.
 
Withdrawals under the Contract may be subject to a withdrawal charge.  For purposes of the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest remaining premium.  When you make a complete withdrawal you will receive the value of the Contract as of the end of the business day your withdrawal request is received by us in Good Order, minus any applicable taxes, the annual contract maintenance charge, charges under any optional endorsement; and all applicable withdrawal charges, adjusted for any applicable interest rate adjustment.  For more information about withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” beginning on page 31 .   We will pay the withdrawal proceeds within seven days of a request in Good Order. If a Purchase Payment made by personal check or electronic draft is received within the five days preceding a withdrawal request, we may delay payment of the withdrawal proceeds up to seven days after the date of the request, to ensure the check or electronic draft is not returned due to insufficient funds.
 
Your withdrawal request must be in writing.  Jackson will accept withdrawal requests submitted via facsimile.  There are risks associated with not requiring original signatures in order to disburse the money.  To minimize the risks, the proceeds will be sent to your last recorded address in our records, to be sure to notify us, in writing, with an original signature, of any address change.  We do not assume responsibility for improper disbursements if you have failed to provide us with the current address to which the proceeds should be sent.
 
Except in connection with the systematic withdrawal program, you must withdraw at least $500 or, if less, the entire amount in the guaranteed fixed account or Investment Division from which you are making the withdrawal.  After your withdrawal, at least $100 must remain in each guaranteed fixed account or Investment Division from which the withdrawal was taken.  A withdrawal request that would reduce the remaining Contract Value to less than $100 will be treated as a request for a complete withdrawal.
 
If you have an investment adviser who, for a fee, manages your Contract Value, you may authorize payment of the fee from the Contract by requesting a partial withdrawal.  There are conditions and limitations, so please contact our Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.  We neither endorse any investment advisers, nor make any representations as to their qualifications.  The fee for this service would be covered in a separate agreement between the two of you, and would be in addition to the fees and expenses described in this prospectus.
 
Income taxes, tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any withdrawal you make.  There are limitations on withdrawals from qualified plans.  For more information, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Considerations. Most people who are managing their investments to provide retirement income want to provide themselves with sufficient lifetime income and also to provide for an inheritance for their
 
 
46

 
 
beneficiaries.  The main obstacles they face in meeting these goals are the uncertainties as to (i) how much income their investments will produce, and (ii) how long they will live and will need to draw income from their investments.  A Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) is designed to help reduce these uncertainties.
 
A GMWB is intended to address those concerns but does not provide any guarantee the income will be sufficient to cover any individual’s particular needs.  Moreover, the GMWB does not assure that you will receive any return on your investments.  The GMWB also does not protect against loss of purchasing power of assets covered by a GMWB due to inflation.  Even relatively low levels of inflation may have a significant effect on purchasing power if not offset by stronger positive investment returns.  The step-up feature on certain of the GMWBs may provide protection against inflation when there are strong investment returns that coincide with the availability of effecting a step-up.  However, strong investment performance will only help the GMWB guard against inflation if the endorsement includes a step-up feature.
 
Payments under the GMWB will first be made from your Contract Value.  Our obligations to pay you more than your Contract Value will only arise under limited circumstances.  Thus, in considering the election of any GMWB you need to consider whether the value to you of the level of protection that is provided by a GMWB and its costs, which reduce Contract Value and offset our risks, are consistent with your level of concern and the minimum level of assets that you want to be sure are guaranteed.
 
The Joint For Life GMWB with Bonus and Annual Step-Up is available only to spouses and differs from the For Life GMWB with Bonus and Annual Step-Up without the Joint Option (which is available to spouses and unrelated parties) and enjoys the following advantages:
 
If the Contract Value falls to zero, benefit payments under the endorsement will continue until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is effective.  (For more information about the For Life Guarantee and for information on who is a Covered Life under this form of GMWB, please see the “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up” subsections beginning on pages 81 , 99 ,  119  and 140 .)
 
If an Owner dies before the automatic payment of benefits begins, the surviving Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee is not automatically terminated (as it is on the For Life GMWBs without the Joint Option).
 
The Joint For Life GMWB has a higher charge than the For Life GMWB without the Joint Option.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations. Each of the GMWBs provides that the GMWB and all benefits thereunder will terminate on the Income Date, which is the date when annuity payments begin.  The Income Date is either a date that you choose or the Latest Income Date.  The Latest Income Date is generally the date on which the Owner attains age 90 under a non-qualified Contract, unless otherwise approved by the Company, or such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.
 
Before (1) electing a GMWB, (2) electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB, or (3) when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB, you should consider whether the termination of all benefits under the GMWB and annuitizing produces the better financial results for you.  Naturally, you should discuss with your Jackson representative whether a GMWB is even suitable for you.  Consultation with your financial and tax advisor is also recommended.
 
These considerations are of greater significance if you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB For Life, as the For Life payments will cease when you annuitize voluntarily or on the Latest Income Date.  Although each of the For Life GMWBs contain an annuitization option that may allow the equivalent of For Life payments when you annuitize on the Latest Income Date, all benefits under a GMWB For Life (and under the other GMWBs) will terminate when you annuitize.  To the extent that we can extend the Latest Income Date without adverse tax consequences to you, we will do so, as permitted by the applicable qualified plan, law, or regulation.  After you have consulted your financial and tax advisors you will need to contact us to request an extension of the Latest Income Date.  Please also see “Extension of Latest Income Date” beginning on page  160  for further information regarding possible adverse tax consequences of extending the Latest Income Date.
 
In addition, with regard to required minimum distributions (RMDs) under an IRA only, it is important to consult your financial and tax advisor to determine whether the benefits of a particular GMWB will satisfy your RMD requirements.  With regard to other qualified plans, you must determine what your qualified plan permits.  Distributions under qualified plans and Tax-Sheltered Annuities must begin by the later of the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which you retire.  You do not necessarily have to annuitize your Contract to meet the minimum distribution.

Finally, please note that withdrawals in excess of certain limits may have a significantly negative impact on the value of your GMWB through prematurely reducing the benefit’s Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB) and Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA) and, therefore, cause your GMWB to prematurely terminate.  Please see the explanations of withdrawals under each of the following GMWB descriptions for more information concerning the effect of excess withdrawals.
 
7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“SafeGuard 7 Plus”). The following description is supplemented by some examples in Appendix C that may assist you in understanding how the calculations are made in certain circumstances.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract’s Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract’s Issue Date, a 7% GMWB may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of your Contract Value.  The 7% GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract). We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 7% GMWB cannot be canceled.  If you select the 7% GMWB when you purchase your Contract, your net premium payment will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 7% GMWB may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary.  If you select the 7% GMWB after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added (see Example 1 in Appendix C).  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon “step-up”), and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.
 
Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (as explained below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 7% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 7%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 7% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 7% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 7%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA may be reduced.  The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.
 
Withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 7% GMWB, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
Any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 7% of the net premium payment or 7% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.
 
If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA may be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s) and even reset to the then current Contract Value, likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA, the GWB is equal to the greater of:
 
the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or
 
zero.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:
 
the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.
 
 
48

 
 
If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA, the GAWA is the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal;
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal; or
 
7% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.
 
Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA (or required minimum distribution (RMD), if applicable – see below) may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix C). For purposes of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments.
 
Withdrawals made under the guarantee of this endorsement are considered to be the same as any other partial withdrawals for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, the 7% GMWB allows for withdrawals greater than the GAWA to meet the RMD under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.
 
Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs 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 RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with the 7% GMWB, GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement’s guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of either of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMD requirements for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD requirement for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
 
49

 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2013, he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating the GMWB in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that the 7% GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.
 
 
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.
 
A Step-Up is allowed at any time, but there must always 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.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
Spousal Continuation.  If the Contract is continued by the spouse, the spouse retains all rights previously held by the Owner and therefore may elect to add the 7% GMWB to the Contract within the 30 days prior to any Contract Anniversary following the continuation date of the original Contract’s Issue Date.  The 7% GMWB would become effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
If the spouse continues the Contract and the 7% GMWB endorsement already applies to the Contract, the 7% GMWB will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  Your spouse may elect to “step-up” on the continuation date.  If the Contract is continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, the value applicable upon “step-up” is the Contract Value, including any adjustments applied on the continuation date.  Any subsequent “step-up” must follow the “step-up” restrictions listed above (Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract’s Issue Date).
 
Termination.  The 7% GMWB endorsement terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge on the date you annuitize or surrender the Contract.  In surrendering the Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under the 7% GMWB.  The 7% GMWB also terminates: with the Contract upon your death (unless the beneficiary who is your spouse continues the Contract); upon the first date both the GWB and Contract Value equal zero; or upon conversion, if permitted – whichever occurs first.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, Contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  The payments continue until the GWB is reduced to zero.
 
All other rights under your Contract cease and we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, your beneficiary will receive the scheduled payments.  No other death benefit or Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid.
 
 
50

 
 
Annuitization.  If you decide to annuitize your Contract, you may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in your Contract:
 
Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  The purchase of the 7% GMWB may not be appropriate for the Owners of Contracts who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors on this and other matters prior to electing the 7% GMWB.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With 5-Year Step-Up (“SafeGuard Max”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage and examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2010, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) until the earlier of:
 
The Owner’s (or any joint Owner’s) death;
 
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.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Owners up to 85 years old (proof of age is required); may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary; and once added cannot be canceled.  At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
Election.  The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract, and the GAWA derives from the GWB.
 
 
51

 
 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date
   
The GWB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
   
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, this GMWB might be continued by a spousal Beneficiary.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
0 – 74
7%
75 – 79
8%
80 – 84
9%
85+
10%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).   The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  (There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
The GAWA before the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
 
52

 
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit and may lead to its premature termination.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
The GAWA before the withdrawal; Or
 
 
       
 The GWB after the withdrawal; Or
 
 
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the Contract Value after the withdrawal.
 
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement’s guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher
 
 
 
53

 
 
RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
             
     
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
The first opportunity for a Step-Up is the fifth Contract Anniversary after this GMWB is added to the Contract.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time, but there must always 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.  Please consult the
 
 
54

 
 
representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
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) while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value is reduced to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB.
 
 
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 recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
The GAWA before the payment; Or
 
             
       
The GWB after the payment.
 
 
All other rights under your Contract cease and we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, no death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.
 
Spousal Continuation.  If the Contract is continued by the spouse, the spouse retains all rights previously held by the Owner and therefore may elect to add this GMWB to the Contract within the 30 days prior to any Contract Anniversary following the continuation date of the original Contract’s Issue Date.  This GMWB would become effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
If the spouse continues the Contract and this endorsement already applies to the Contract, the GMWB will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age on the continuation date and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB.  Your spouse may elect to Step-Up on the continuation date.  If the Contract is continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, the value applicable upon Step-Up is the Contract Value, including any adjustments applied on the continuation date.  Any subsequent Step-Up must follow the Step-Up restrictions listed above (Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract’s Issue Date).
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 158 .
 
Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
   
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
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;
 
The first date both the GWB and the Contract Value equals zero; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
 
55

 
 
Annuitization.
 
On the Latest Income Date, the Owner may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract:
 
Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“AutoGuard 5”). The following description is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C that may assist you in understanding how calculations are made in certain circumstances.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2011, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract’s Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract’s Issue Date, a 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of your Contract Value.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract).  We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up cannot be canceled.  If you select the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up when you purchase your Contract, your premium payment net of any applicable taxes will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if your request is in Good Order.  If you select the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added (see Example 1 in Appendix C).  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon “step-up”), and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.
 
Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (as explained below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 5% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 5%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 5% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 5% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 5%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA will likely be reduced.  The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.
 
Withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
 
56

 
 
Any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 5% of the net premium payment or 5% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.
 
If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA will likely be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s), likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows for withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s required minimum distributions (RMDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “Required Minimum Distribution Calculations” below for more information.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GWB is equal to the greater of:
 
the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or
 
zero.
 
If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GAWA is the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after March 31, 2008, the GWB is equal to the greater of:
 
the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; or
 
zero.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after March 31, 2008, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
the total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
the amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
 
57

 
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before March 31, 2008, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:
 
the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before March 31, 2008, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal, or
 
5% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.
 
Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix C). For purposes of all of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments.
 
Withdrawals made under the guarantee of this endorsement are considered to be the same as any other partial withdrawals, including systematic withdrawals, for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.  Withdrawals under the guarantee of this endorsement are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs 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 RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement’s guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of either of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 201 4 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMD requirements for calendar years 201 3 and 201 4 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 3 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 4 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 201 4 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 201 4 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD requirement for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 201 3 RMD) until March 30, 201 4 , he may still take the 201 4 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 201 4 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 201 4 RMD) after June 30, 201 4 , he should wait
 
 
58

 
 
until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 201 5 ) to take his third RMD (the 201 5 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating the GMWB in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
Step-Up. Step-Ups with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up reset your GWB to the greater of Contract Value or the GWB before step-up, and GAWA becomes the greater of 5% of the new GWB or GAWA before step-up.  Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first 12 Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date, then on or after the 13th Contract Anniversary, at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between step-ups.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.  In addition, the GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  The request will be processed and effective on the day we receive the request in Good Order.  Before deciding to “step-up,” please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
Spousal Continuation.  If you die before annuitizing a Contract with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, the Contract’s death benefit is still payable when Contract Value is greater than zero.  Alternatively, the Contract allows the beneficiary who is your spouse to continue it, retaining all rights previously held by the Owner.  If the spouse continues the Contract and the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement already applies to the Contract, the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted (as described above), and Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract’s Issue Date.  Upon spousal continuation of a Contract without the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, if the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is available at the time, the beneficiary may request to add this endorsement within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if the request is made in Good Order.
 
Termination.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge on the date you annuitize or surrender the Contract.  In surrendering the Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up also terminates: with the Contract upon your death (unless the beneficiary who is your spouse continues the Contract); upon the first date both the GWB and Contract Value equal zero; or upon conversion, if permitted – whichever occurs first.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  The payments continue until the GWB is reduced to zero.
 
All other rights under your Contract cease and we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, your beneficiary will receive the scheduled payments.  No other death benefit or Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid.
 
Annuitization.  If you decide to annuitize your Contract, you may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in your Contract:
 
Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  The purchase of the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may not be appropriate for the Owners of Contracts who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors on this and other matters prior to electing the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.
 
6% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“AutoGuard 6”). The following description is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C that may assist you in understanding how calculations are made in certain circumstances.  For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract’s Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract’s Issue Date, a 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of your Contract Value.  The 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract).  We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up cannot be canceled.  If you select the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up when you purchase your Contract, your premium payment net of any applicable taxes will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if your request is in Good Order.  If you select the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added (see Example 1 in Appendix C).  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon “step-up”), and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2011, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (as explained below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 6% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 6%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 6% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 6% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 6%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA will likely be reduced.  The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.
 
Withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
Any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 6% of the net premium payment or 6% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.
 
If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA will likely be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s), likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows for withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s required minimum distributions (RMDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “Required Minimum Distribution Calculations” below for more information.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GWB is equal to the greater of:
 
 
60

 
 
the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or
 
zero.
 
If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GAWA is the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after March 31, 2008, the GWB is equal to the greater of:
 
the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; or
 
zero.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after March 31, 2008, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
the total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
the amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before March 31, 2008, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:
 
the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before March 31, 2008, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal, or
 
6% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.
 
Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix C). For purposes of all of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments.

Withdrawals made under the guarantee of this endorsement are considered to be the same as any other partial withdrawals, including systematic withdrawals, for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.  Withdrawals under the guarantee of this endorsement are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs 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 RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement’s guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of either of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 201 4 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMD requirements for calendar years 201 3 and 201 4 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 3 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 201 4 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 201 4 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 201 4 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD requirement for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 201 3 RMD) until March 30, 201 4 , he may still take the 201 4 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 201 4 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 201 4 RMD) after June 30, 201 4 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 201 5 ) to take his third RMD (the 201 5 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating the GMWB in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
Step-Up. Step-Ups with the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up reset your GWB to the greater of Contract Value or the GWB before step-up, and GAWA becomes the greater of 6% of the new GWB or GAWA before step-up.  Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first 12 Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date, then on or after the 13th Contract Anniversary, at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between step-ups.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.  In addition, the GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  The request will be processed and effective on the day we receive the request in Good Order.  Before deciding to “step-up,” please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

Spousal Continuation.  If you die before annuitizing a Contract with the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, the Contract’s death benefit is still payable when Contract Value is greater than zero.  Alternatively, the Contract allows the beneficiary who is your spouse to continue it, retaining all rights previously held by the Owner.  If the spouse continues the Contract and the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement already applies to the Contract, the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted (as described above), and Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract’s Issue Date.  Upon spousal continuation of a Contract without the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, if the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is available at the time, the beneficiary may request to add this endorsement within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if the request is made in Good Order.
 
Termination.  The 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge on the date you annuitize or surrender the Contract.  In surrendering the Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.  The 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up also terminates: with the Contract upon your death (unless the beneficiary who is your spouse continues the Contract); upon the first date both the GWB and Contract Value equal zero; or upon conversion, if permitted – whichever occurs first.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid automatically to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  The payments continue until the GWB is reduced to zero.
 
All other rights under your Contract cease and we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, your beneficiary will receive the scheduled payments.  No other death benefit or Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid.
 
Annuitization.  If you decide to annuitize your Contract, you may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in your Contract:
 
Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  The purchase of the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may not be appropriate for the Owners of Contracts who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors on this and other matters prior to electing the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.
 
5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Without Step-Up (“MarketGuard 5”). The following description is supplemented by some examples in Appendix C that may assist you in understanding how calculations are made in certain circumstances. 
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 6, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract’s Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract’s Issue Date, a 5% GMWB without Step-Up may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of
 
 
63

 
 
your Contract Value.  The 5% GMWB without Step-Up is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract).  We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 5% GMWB without Step-Up cannot be canceled.  If you select the 5% GMWB without Step-Up when you purchase your Contract, your premium payment net of any applicable taxes will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 5% GMWB without Step-Up may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if your request is in Good Order.  If you select the 5% GMWB without Step-Up after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added (see Example 1 in Appendix C).  The GWB can never be more than $5 million, and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.
 
Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (see below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 5% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 5%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 5% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 5% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 5%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA may be reduced.  The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.
 
Withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 5% GMWB without Step-Up, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
Any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 5% of the net premium payment or 5% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.
 
If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA may be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s) and even reset to the then current Contract Value, likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA, the GWB is equal to the greater of:
 
the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or
 
zero.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:
 
the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.
 
If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA, the GAWA is the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal; or
 
 
64

 
 
5% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.
 
Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix C).  For purposes of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments.

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  The purchase of the 5% GMWB without Step-Up may not be appropriate for the Owners of Contracts who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors on this and other matters prior to electing the 5% GMWB without Step-Up.
 
5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus And Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Advantage”).  The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 8 for the bonus and example 9 for the For Life guarantees.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
 
66

 
 
 ●
The Owner’s life (the “For Life Guarantee”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
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).
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s 65th birthday (or with joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s 65th birthday).  If the Owner (or oldest Owner) is 65 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
 
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
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.
 
 ●
With this GMWB, 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, and the paragraph preceding it at the end of this section, 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.
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required); 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 and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  Also, when the Owner is a legal entity, charges will be determined based on the age of the Annuitant and 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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial 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.
 
The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  At the time the for life guarantee becomes effective, the GAWA is reset to equal 5% of the then current GWB.
 
Premium net of any applicable premium taxes is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based
 
 
67

 
 
on Contract Value on that date.  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 both the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The two tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information. 
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMDs without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
The GAWA:
 
 
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; 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 or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
 
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
 
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
 
5% of the Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
 
The greater of 5% of the GWB after the withdrawal, or zero.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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
 
 
68

 
 
processing rules as described in the Contract.  They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2013 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2012 and 2013 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
 
 
69

 
 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.
 
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.
 
Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first ten Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year 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.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
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 unchanged and payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Otherwise, payments will be made while there is
 
 
70

 
 
value to the GWB (until depleted), so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  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 in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or 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.  (The date the spousal beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.
 
   
Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).
 
   
Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted; 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 spousal beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 158 .
 
Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
 
71

 
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract Value is zero.
 
Annuitization.
 
Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Bonus.  The description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8.  The bonus is an incentive for you not to utilize this GMWB (take withdrawals) during a limited period of time, subject to conditions and limitations, allowing the GWB and GAWA to increase (even in a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to any Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  The bonus is a percentage of a sum called the Bonus Base (defined below).  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
 
72

 
 
The bonus equals 6% (5% if this GMWB is added to the Contract prior to April 30, 2007) and is based on a sum that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the Bonus Base”), as described immediately below.
 
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 (if joint Owners, the oldest 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.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 6 % (5% if this GMWB is added to the Contract prior to April 30, 2007) 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.
 
 
For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Ascent”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage and examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
 
73

 
 
The Owner’s life (the “For Life Guarantee”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There are also other GMWB options for joint Owners that are spouses, as described below.
 
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).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
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.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 85 years old (proof of age is required); 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 and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Issue Date.
 
 
74

 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added.
 
Premium net of any applicable premium taxes is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  (See Example 1 in Appendix C.)  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.  However, this GMWB might be continued by a spousal beneficiary without the For Life Guarantee.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 59
4%
60 – 74
5%
75 – 84
6%
85+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
The GAWA:
 
 
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; 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 or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note
 
 
75

 
 
that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
 
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
 
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach
 
 
 
76

 
 
 
 
age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
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.
 
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.
 
In addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Base (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.  Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
77

 
 
With a Step-Up
The GWB equals Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
 
If the Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up then the BDB is set to equal the Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the Owner.
 
   
If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the oldest joint Owner.
 
   
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation.
 
 
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
   
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.
 
Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first ten Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between Step-Ups.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, automatic Step-Ups still occur and elected Step-Ups are still permitted even when the GWB is at the maximum of $5 million if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the GAWA percentage would increase.  A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
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) while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is unchanged and payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Otherwise, payments will be made while there is value to the GWB (until depleted), so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero.
 
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 in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  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.
 
 
78

 
 
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.  (The date the spousal beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.
 
   
Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).
 
   
Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted; otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of death.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups, even if the Contract Value exceeds the BDB.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
 
 
79

 
 
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 spousal beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 158 .
 
Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
Annuitization.
 
Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Ascent With Joint Option”). The description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups and example 10 for the For Life guarantees.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
The election of this GMWB under a non-qualified Contract requires the joint Owners to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) and each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”
 
The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary beneficiary and all other beneficiaries will be treated as contingent beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.
 
This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial Owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant’s life who dies last.
 
Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code). The Owner and only the primary spousal beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.
 
In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.
 
For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a beneficiary; however, that beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new beneficiary; however, that beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new beneficiary.
 
For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
 
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
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.
 
 
81

 
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Covered Lives 45 to 85 years old (proof of age is required and both Covered Lives must be within the eligible age range).  This GMWB may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or on any Contract Anniversary and cannot be canceled except by a spousal beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.
 
At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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). 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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Issue Date.
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added.
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void unless this GMWB is continued by a spousal beneficiary who is a Covered Life.  However, it is possible for this GMWB to be continued without the For Life Guarantee by a spousal beneficiary who is not a Covered Life.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
 
82

 
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 59
4%
60 – 74
5%
75 – 84
6%
85+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The two tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  (There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
The GAWA:
 
 
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; 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 or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
 
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
 
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
 
83

 
 
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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
 
 
84

 
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
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.
 
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.
 
In addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Base (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.  Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
With a Step-Up
The GWB equals Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
 
If the Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up then the BDB is set to equal the Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the youngest Covered Life.
 
   
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation if the spouse electing Spousal Continuation is not a Covered Life.
 
 
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
   
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.
 
Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first ten Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between Step-Ups.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, automatic Step-Ups still occur and elected Step-Ups are still permitted even when the GWB is at the maximum of $5 million if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the GAWA percentage would increase.  A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.  Please consult the
 
 
85

 
 
representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
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 the death of the sole Owner of a qualified Contract or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.  Please see the information beginning on page  81  regarding the required ownership and beneficiary structure under both qualified and non-qualified Contracts when selecting the Joint For Life GMWB With Annual Step-Up benefit.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is unchanged and payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, at least one Covered Life remains alive and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Otherwise, payments will be made while there is value to the GWB (until depleted), so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero.
 
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 in effect; Otherwise
 
 
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but not less frequently than annually.  If you die before all scheduled payments are made, then your beneficiary will receive the remainder of the GWB in the form of continuing scheduled payments.  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 (or either joint Owner’s) death, the surviving spousal beneficiary 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.  (The date the spousal beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated. 
 
   
Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted in accordance with the above rules for Step-Ups.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the original Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the GAWA percentage will continue to be calculated and/or recalculated based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life and if the GAWA percentage has
 
 
86

 
 
     
not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of death.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the additional Income Options available on the Latest Income Date.
 
   
A new joint Owner may not be added in a non-qualified Contract if a surviving spouse continues the Contract.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated) if the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life.  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.  If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the Contract cannot be continued without this GMWB.
 
Add another GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the spousal beneficiary’s eligibility, and provided that this GMWB was terminated on the Continuation Date.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 158 .
 
Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
The date of death of the Owner (or either joint Owner), unless the beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB (continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee if the surviving spouse is a Covered Life);
 
The Continuation Date on a Contract if the spousal beneficiary, who is not a Covered Life, elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
Annuitization.
 
Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal beneficiary and the spousal beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
 
87

 
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Freedom GMWB”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups and example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 28, 2009, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
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”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There are also other GMWB options for joint Owners that are spouses, as described below.
 
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).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner (or with joint Owners, the oldest Owner) attaining the age of 59 1/2.  If the Owner (or oldest Owner) is 59 1/2 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.  The For Life Guarantee remains effective until the date this endorsement is terminated, as described below, or until the Continuation Date on which this GMWB endorsement is continued under spousal continuation.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
Or
 
   
  ●
Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 

 
88

 
 
   
The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required); 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 and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
When this GMWB is added  to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of the GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.  However, this GMWB might be continued by a spousal Beneficiary without the For Life Guarantee.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after January 12, 2009, the GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 62
4%
63 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%
 
 
89

 
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract before January 12, 2009, the GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
The GAWA:
 
 
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
Otherwise
 
 
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
The GAWA is generally not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, unless the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is nearly depleted, resulting in a GWB that is less than the GAWA.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
90

 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
 
If the For Life Guarantee is in force, the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
 
If the For Life Guarantee is not in force, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
     The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, Or
 
     The GWB after the withdrawal.
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of
 
 
 
91

 
 
 
the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008 and no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a GWB adjustment.
 
The GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:
 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) 70th birthday, Or
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.
 
 
The GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
 
92

 
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the Benefit Determination Baseline (explained below).  Once the GWB is re-set, this GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the GWB Adjustment Date, this GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this GWB adjustment provision.)
 
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.
 
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the highest quarterly Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008, then, in addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the Owner’s attained age.  If an age band is crossed, the GAWA percentage will be increased.  For example, assume an Owner was age 73 at the time of the first withdrawal resulting in, according to the table above, a GAWA percentage of 5%.  Also assume that, when the Owner is age 76, a Step-Up occurs and the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB; in that case, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the Owner’s attained age of 76, resulting in a new GAWA percentage of 6%.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is not greater than the BDB, the GAWA percentage remains unchanged regardless of whether an age band has been crossed.
 
In the event that the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB, the BDB is set equal to the highest quarterly Contract Value.
 
Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
93

 
 
With a Step-Up
The GWB equals the highest quarterly Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008 and the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up, then the BDB is set to equal the highest quarterly Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the Owner.
 
   
If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the oldest joint Owner.
 
   
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation.
 
 
For all Contracts to which this GMWB is added, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
   
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
The highest quarterly Contract Value equals the highest of the quarterly adjusted Contract Values from the four most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversaries, including the Contract Anniversary upon which the Step-Up is determined.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Value equals the Contract Value on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary, net of any applicable premium taxes, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary.  
 
Partial withdrawals will affect the quarterly adjusted Contract Value as follows:
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
 
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
 
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
   
Zero.
 
FOR CONTRACTS TO WHICH THIS GMWB WAS ADDED ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 6, 2008, PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and highest quarterly Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the highest quarterly Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.
 
Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary (11th Contract Anniversary if this endorsement is added to the Contract before January 12, 2009) following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.50%.  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  You may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision at the then current GMWB Charge.  All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
 
94

 
 
The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, the BDB is not subject to a $5 million maximum; therefore, it is still possible for the GAWA percentage to increase even when the GWB has hit its $5 million maximum because automatic Step-Ups still occur if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB.  For example, assume the GWB and BDB are equal to $5 million prior to a Step-Up.  Also assume that the GAWA percentage is 5% and the GAWA is $250,000.  If, at the time of Step-Up, the highest quarterly Contract Value is $6 million, a Step-Up will occur.  The GWB will remain at its maximum of $5 million but the BDB will be set equal to $6 million.  If an age band has been crossed and the GAWA percentage for the Owner’s attained age is 6%, then the GAWA will be equal to $300,000 (6% x $5 million).
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up. Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
Owners Death.  The Contracts 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) while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner), so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
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 in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  If you die, all rights under your Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
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 GWB adjustment provision is void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
 
 
95

 
 
   
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the original Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age on the continuation date.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups, even if the Contract Value exceeds the BDB.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
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 spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 158 .
 
Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
 
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
Annuitization.
 
Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the
 
 
96

 
 
original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Bonus.  The primary purpose of the bonus is to act as an incentive for you to defer taking withdrawals.  A bonus equal to 7% of the Bonus Base (defined below) will be applied to the GWB at the end of each Contract Year within the Bonus Period (also defined below) if no withdrawals are taken during that Contract Year.  The bonus enables the GWB and GAWA to increase in a given Contract Year (even during a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  This description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8. The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 7% of the Bonus Base, which is an amount that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract, as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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.
 

 
97

 

 
     
All withdrawals count, including: systematic withdrawals; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
         
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 7% of the Bonus Base.
 
         
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal (in a prior year), the GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment or BDB.
 
The Bonus is only available during the Bonus Period.  If this GMWB is added to the Contract on or after October 6, 2008, the Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement.  In addition, the Bonus Period will re-start at the time the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up so long as the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the Owner’s (if Joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s) 80th birthday.  (See example below.)
 
The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
         
The tenth Contract Anniversary following (1) the effective date of the endorsement or (2) the most recent increase to the Bonus Base due to a Step-Up, if later; or
 
        
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start on a later Contract Anniversary if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
The purpose of the re-start provision is to extend the period of time over which the Owner is eligible to receive a bonus.  For example, assume this GMWB was added to a Contract on December 1, 2008.  At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2018 (which is the tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement).  If a Step-Up increasing the Bonus Base occurs on the third Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement (December 1, 2011), and the Owner is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2021.  Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2023 (which is two years after the Bonus Period in this example expired) and that the Owner is still younger than age 80 at that time, the Bonus Period would re-start on December 1, 2023, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2033.  (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix C for more information regarding the re-start provision.)
 
If this GMWB was added to the Contract before October 6, 2008, the Bonus Period runs from the date this GMWB was 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 (if joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s) 81st birthday; or
 
 
 
98

 
 
 
The date Contract Value is zero.
 
If this GMWB was added to the Contract before October 6, 2008, there is no provision allowing the Bonus Period to restart.
 
Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Freedom GMWB With Joint Option”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 10 for the For Life guarantees and example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 28, 2009, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
The election of this GMWB under a non-qualified Contract requires the joint Owners to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) and each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”
 
The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary Beneficiary and all other Beneficiaries will be treated as contingent Beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent Beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.
 
This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant’s life who dies last.
 
Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary Beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code). The Owner and only the primary spousal Beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.
 
In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.
 
For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal Beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal Beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal Beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new Beneficiary.
 
For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life attaining the age of 59 1/2.  If the youngest Covered Life is 59 1/2 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.  The For Life Guarantee remains effective until the date this endorsement is terminated, as described below, or until the Continuation Date on which a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life continues this GMWB endorsement under spousal continuation.
 
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
Or
 
Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 
 
99

 
 
The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Covered Lives 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required and both Covered Lives must be within the eligible age range).  This GMWB may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or on any Contract Anniversary and cannot be canceled except by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.
 
At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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).  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of the GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void unless this GMWB is continued by a spousal beneficiary who is a Covered Life.  However, it is possible for this GMWB to be continued without the For Life Guarantee by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after January 12, 2009, the GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 62
4%
63 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract before January 12, 2009, the GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
 
100

 
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
The GAWA:
 
   
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
The GAWA is generally not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, unless the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is nearly depleted, resulting in a GWB that is less than the GAWA.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
101

 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
 
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
   
If the For Life Guarantee is in force, the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
   
If the For Life Guarantee is not in force, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
     
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, Or
 
   
 
The GWB after the withdrawal.
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a
 
 
102

 
 
Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008 and no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a GWB adjustment.
 
The GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:
 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 70th birthday, Or
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.
 
The GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
103

 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the Benefit Determination Baseline (explained below).  Once the GWB is re-set, this GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the GWB Adjustment Date, this GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this GWB adjustment provision.)
 
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.
 
 
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the highest quarterly Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008, then, in addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.  If an age band is crossed, the GAWA percentage will be increased.  For example, assume the youngest Covered Life was age 73 at the time of the first withdrawal resulting in, according to the table above, a GAWA percentage of 5%.  Also assume that, when the youngest Covered Life is age 76, a Step-Up occurs and the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB; in that case, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age of 76, resulting in a new GAWA percentage of 6%.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is not greater than the BDB, the GAWA percentage remains unchanged regardless of whether an age band has been crossed.
 
In the event that the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB, the BDB is set equal to the highest quarterly Contract Value.
 
Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
104

 
 
With a Step-Up
The GWB equals the highest quarterly Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008 and the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up, then the BDB is set to equal the highest quarterly Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the youngest Covered Life.
 
   
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation if the spouse electing Spousal Continuation is not a Covered Life.
 
 
For all Contracts to which this GMWB is added, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
   
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
The highest quarterly Contract Value equals the highest of the quarterly adjusted Contract Values from the four most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversaries, including the Contract Anniversary upon which the Step-Up is determined.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Value equals the Contract Value on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary, net of any applicable premium taxes, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary.  
 
Partial withdrawals will affect the quarterly adjusted Contract Value as follows:
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
 
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
 
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
FOR CONTRACTS TO WHICH THIS GMWB WAS ADDED ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 6, 2008, PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and highest quarterly Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the highest quarterly Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.
 
Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary (11th Contract Anniversary if this endorsement is added to the Contract before January 12, 2009) following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.86%.  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  You may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision at the then current GMWB Charge. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, the BDB is not subject to a $5 million maximum; therefore, it is still possible for the GAWA percentage to increase even when the GWB has hit its $5 million maximum because automatic Step-Ups still occur if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB.  For example, assume the GWB and BDB are equal to $5 million prior to a Step-Up.  Also assume that the GAWA percentage is 5% and the GAWA is $250,000.  If, at the
 
 
105

 
 
time of Step-Up, the highest quarterly Contract Value is $6 million, a Step-Up will occur.  The GWB will remain at its maximum of $5 million but the BDB will be set equal to $6 million.  If an age band has been crossed and the GAWA percentage for the youngest Covered Life’s attained age is 6%, then the GAWA will be equal to $300,000 (6% x $5 million).
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up. Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
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 the death of the sole Owner of a qualified Contract or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.  Please see the information beginning on page  99  regarding the required ownership and beneficiary structure under both qualified and non-qualified Contracts when selecting the Joint For Life GMWB With Bonus and Annual Step-Up benefit.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the last surviving Covered Life, so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
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 in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  Upon death of the last surviving Covered Life, all rights under the Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.
 
Spousal Continuation.  In the event of the Owner’s (or either joint Owner’s) death, the surviving spousal Beneficiary 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated. 
 
 
 
106

 
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and the GWB adjustment provision is in force on the continuation date then the provision will continue to apply in accordance with the GWB adjustment provision rules above.  The GWB adjustment date will continue to be based on the original effective date of the endorsement or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age, as applicable.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the GWB adjustment is null and void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the original Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the GAWA percentage will continue to be calculated and/or recalculated based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life and if the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age on the continuation date.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the additional Income Options available on the Latest Income Date.
 
   
A new joint Owner may not be added in a non-qualified Contract if a surviving spouse continues the Contract.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated) if the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life.  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.  If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the Contract cannot be continued without this GMWB.
 
Add another GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the spousal Beneficiary’s eligibility, and provided that this GMWB was terminated on the Continuation Date.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 158 .
 
Termination. This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
   
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
The date of death of the Owner (or either joint Owner), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB (continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee if the surviving spouse is a Covered Life);
 
The Continuation Date on a Contract if the spousal Beneficiary, who is not a Covered Life, elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
 
107

 
 
Annuitization.
 
Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary and the spousal Beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Bonus.  The primary purpose of the bonus is to act as an incentive for you to defer taking withdrawals.  A bonus equal to 7% of the Bonus Base (defined below) will be applied to the GWB at the end of each Contract Year within the Bonus Period (also defined below) if no withdrawals are taken during that Contract Year.  The bonus enables the GWB and GAWA to increase in a given Contract Year (even during a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  This description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8.  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
 
 
108

 
 
 
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 7% of the Bonus Base, which is an amount that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract, as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 7% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal (in a prior year), the GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment or BDB.
 
The Bonus is only available during the Bonus Period.  If this GMWB is added to the Contract on or after October 6, 2008, the Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement.  In addition, the Bonus Period will re-start at the time the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up so long as the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday.  (See example below.)
 
The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following (1) the effective date of the endorsement or (2) the most recent increase to the Bonus Base due to a Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start on a later Contract Anniversary if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
 
 
109

 
 
The purpose of the re-start provision is to extend the period of time over which the Owner is eligible to receive a bonus.  For example, assume this GMWB was added to a Contract on December 1, 2008.  At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2018 (which is the tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement).  If a Step-Up increasing the Bonus Base occurs on the third Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement (December 1, 2011), and the youngest Covered Life is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2021.  Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2023 (which is two years after the Bonus Period in this example expired) and that the youngest Covered Life is still younger than age 80 at that time, the Bonus Period would re-start on December 1, 2023, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2033.  (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix C for more information regarding the re-start provision.)
 
If this GMWB was added to the Contract before October 6, 2008, the Bonus Period runs from the date this GMWB was 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 youngest Covered Life’s 81st birthday; or
 
 
The date Contract Value is zero.
 
If this GMWB was added to the Contract before October 6, 2008, there is no provision allowing the Bonus Period to restart.
 
Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Freedom 6 GMWB”).  The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups and example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment.  This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 11, 2010, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
The Owner’s life (the “For Life Guarantee”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There are also other GMWB options for joint Owners that are spouses, as described below.
 
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).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner (or with joint Owners, the oldest Owner) attaining the age of 59 1/2.  If the Owner (or oldest Owner) is 59 1/2 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.  The For Life Guarantee remains effective until the date this endorsement is terminated, as described below, or until the Continuation Date on which this GMWB endorsement is continued under spousal continuation.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
Or
 
   
Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 
 
 
110

 
 
   
The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required); 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 and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
   
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of a GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.  However, this GMWB might be continued by a spousal Beneficiary without the For Life Guarantee.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 64
4%
65 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals will also cause the GAWA to be recalculated  if the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds  the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  In such case, the recalculation of the GAWA will occur whether or not the For Life Guarantee is in effect.  If the GWB is less than the GAWA at the end of any Contract Year and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA will be set equal to the GWB.  This may occur, when over time, payment of the guaranteed withdrawals is nearly complete, the For Life Guarantee is
 
 
111

 
 
not in effect and the GWB has been depleted to a level below the GAWA.  The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description. Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is unchanged.
 
 
The GAWA is  not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  The GAWA will be reduced at the end of a Contract Year to equal the GWB if  the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is nearly depleted, resulting in a GWB that is less than the GAWA.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced. Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
   
Zero.
 
 
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
   
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
 
The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
 
112

 
 
If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a GWB adjustment.
The GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:
 
 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) 70th birthday,
 
 
Or
 
 
 
113

 
 
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.
 
The GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the Benefit Determination Baseline (explained below).  Once the GWB is re-set, this GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the GWB Adjustment Date, this GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this 200% GWB adjustment provision.)
 
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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).
 
In addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the Owner’s attained age.  If an age band is crossed, the GAWA percentage will be increased.  For example, assume an Owner was age 73 at the time of the first withdrawal resulting in, according to the table above, a GAWA percentage of 5%.  Also assume that, when the Owner is age 76, a Step-Up occurs and the Contract Value is greater than the BDB; in that case, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the Owner’s attained age of 76, resulting in a new GAWA percentage of 6%.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the Contract Value is not greater than the BDB, the GAWA percentage remains unchanged regardless of whether an age band has been crossed.
In the event that the Contract Value is greater than the BDB, the BDB is set equal to the Contract Value.  The purpose of this re-set is to increase the BDB that will be used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon a future Step-Up if an age band is crossed.
 
 
114

 
 
Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
If the Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up, then the BDB is set to equal the Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the Owner.
 
             
       
If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the oldest joint Owner.
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation.
 
             
     
For all Contracts to which this GMWB is added, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.
 
Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.50%. You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  Please be aware that election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.  While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  (Please see the “Bonus” subsection below for more information.)  Also know that you may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision together with the GWB bonus provision at the then current GMWB Charge. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up. However, the BDB is not subject to a $5 million maximum; therefore, it is still possible for the GAWA percentage to increase even when the GWB has hit its $5 million maximum because automatic Step-Ups still occur if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB.  For example, assume the GWB and BDB are equal to $5 million prior to a Step-Up.  Also assume that the GAWA percentage is 5% and the GAWA is $250,000.  If, at the time of Step-Up, the Contract Value is $6 million, a Step-Up will occur.  The GWB will remain at its maximum of $5 million but the BDB will be set equal to $6 million.  If an age band has been crossed and the GAWA percentage for the Owner’s attained age is 6%, then the GAWA will be equal to $300,000 (6% x $5 million).
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up. Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
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) while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner), so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint
 
 
115

 
 
Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
 
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.  
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  If you die, all rights under your Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
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 GWB adjustment provision is void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the original Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age on the continuation date.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups, even if the Contract Value exceeds the BDB.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
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 spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 15 8 .
 
Termination. This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
   
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
 
116

 
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
Annuitization.
 
Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  4 6  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Bonus.  The primary purpose of the bonus is to act as an incentive for you to defer taking withdrawals.  A bonus equal to 6% of the Bonus Base (defined below) will be applied to the GWB at the end of each Contract Year within the Bonus Period (also defined below) if no withdrawals are taken during that Contract Year.  The bonus enables the GWB and GAWA to increase in a given Contract Year (even during a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  This description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8.  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
 
117

 
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 6% of the Bonus Base, which is an amount that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract, as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 6% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal (in a prior year), the GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment or BDB.
 
The Bonus is only available during the Bonus Period. The Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement.  In addition, the Bonus Period will re-start at the time the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up so long as the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the Owner’s (if Joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s) 80th birthday.  (See example below.)
 
The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following (1) the effective date of the endorsement or (2) the most recent increase to the Bonus Base due to a Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start on a later Contract Anniversary if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
 
 
118

 
 
The purpose of the re-start provision is to extend the period of time over which the Owner is eligible to receive a bonus.  For example, assume this GMWB was added to a Contract on December 1, 2008.  At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2018 (which is the tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement).  If a Step-Up increasing the Bonus Base occurs on the third Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement (December 1, 2011), and the Owner is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2021.  Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2023 (which is two years after the Bonus Period in this example expired) and that the Owner is still younger than age 80 at that time, the Bonus Period would re-start on December 1, 2023, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2033.  (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix C for more information regarding the re-start provision.)
 
Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Freedom 6 GMWB With Joint Option”). The description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 10 for the For Life guarantees and example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment. 
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 11, 2010, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
The election of this GMWB under a non-qualified Contract requires the joint Owners to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) and each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”
 
The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary Beneficiary and all other Beneficiaries will be treated as contingent Beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent Beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.
 
This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant’s life who dies last.
 
Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary Beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code).  The Owner and only the primary spousal Beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.
 
In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.
 
For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal Beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal Beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal Beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new Beneficiary.
 
For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life attaining the age of 59 1/2.  If the youngest Covered Life is 59 1/2 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.  The For Life Guarantee remains effective until the date this endorsement is terminated, as described below, or until the Continuation Date on which a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life continues this GMWB endorsement under spousal continuation.
 
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
 Or
 
 
119

 
 
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.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Covered Lives 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required and both Covered Lives must be within the eligible age range).  This GMWB may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or on any Contract Anniversary and cannot be canceled except by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.
 
At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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).
 
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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  
             
        The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.  
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
    The GWB equals Contract Value.  
             
         
        The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.  
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of a GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void unless this GMWB is continued by a spousal Beneficiary who is a Covered Life.  However, it is possible for this GMWB to be continued without the For Life Guarantee by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
 
120

 
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 64
4%
65 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals will also cause the GAWA to be recalculated  if the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA). In such case, the recalculation of the GAWA will occur whether or not the For Life Guarantee is in effect.  If the GWB is less than the GAWA at the end of any Contract Year and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA will be set equal to the GWB.  This may occur, when over time, payment of the guaranteed withdrawals is nearly complete, the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB has been depleted to a level below the GAWA.
 
 The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description. Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
      The GAWA is unchanged.  
 
The GAWA is  not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, The GAWA will be reduced at the end of a Contract Year to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is nearly depleted, resulting in a GWB that is less than the GAWA.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
 
The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
 
121

 
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 15 9 .
 
If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
 
122

 
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a GWB adjustment.
 
The GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:
 
 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 70th birthday, Or
 
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.
 
The GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the Benefit Determination Baseline (explained below).  Once the GWB is re-set, this GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the GWB Adjustment Date, this GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this 200% GWB adjustment provision.)
 
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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
         
 
 
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).
 
In addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.  If an age band is crossed, the GAWA percentage will be increased.  For example, assume the youngest Covered Life was age 73 at the time of the first withdrawal resulting in, according to the
 
 
123

 
 
table above, a GAWA percentage of 5%.  Also assume that, when the youngest Covered Life is age 76, a Step-Up occurs and the Contract Value is greater than the BDB; in that case, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age of 76, resulting in a new GAWA percentage of 6%.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the Contract Value is not greater than the BDB, the GAWA percentage remains unchanged regardless of whether an age band has been crossed.
 
In the event that the Contract Value is greater than the BDB, the BDB is set equal to the Contract Value.  The purpose of this re-set is to increase the BDB that will be used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon a future Step-Up if an age band is crossed.  Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
If the Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up, then the BDB is set to equal the Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the youngest Covered Life.
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation if the spouse electing Spousal Continuation is not a Covered Life.
 
             
     
For all Contracts to which this GMWB is added, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.
 
Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.86%.  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  Please be aware that election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.  While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  (Please see the “Bonus” subsection below for more information.)  Also know that you may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision together with the GWB bonus provision at the then current GMWB Charge.  All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, the BDB is not subject to a $5 million maximum; therefore, it is still possible for the GAWA percentage to increase even when the GWB has hit its $5 million maximum because automatic Step-Ups still occur if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB.  For example, assume the GWB and BDB are equal to $5 million prior to a Step-Up.  Also assume that the GAWA percentage is 5% and the GAWA is $250,000.  If, at the time of Step-Up, the Contract Value is $6 million, a Step-Up will occur.  The GWB will remain at its maximum of $5 million but the BDB will be set equal to $6 million.  If an age band has been crossed and the GAWA percentage for the youngest Covered Life’s attained age is 6%, then the GAWA will be equal to $300,000 (6% x $5 million).
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up. Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
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 the death of the sole Owner of a qualified Contract or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.  Please see the information beginning on page  11 9  regarding the required ownership and beneficiary structure under both qualified and non-qualified Contracts when selecting the Joint For Life GMWB With Bonus and Annual Step-Up benefit.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the last surviving Covered Life, so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
 
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.  
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  Upon death of the last surviving Covered Life, all rights under the Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.
 
Spousal Continuation.  In the event of the Owner’s (or either joint Owner’s) death, the surviving spousal Beneficiary 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and a GWB adjustment provision is in force on the continuation date then the provision will continue to apply in accordance with the applicable GWB adjustment provision rules above.  The GWB adjustment date will continue to be based on the original effective date of the endorsement or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age, as applicable.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, any GWB adjustment is null and void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the original Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the GAWA percentage will continue to be calculated and/or recalculated based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life and if the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age on the continuation date.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the additional Income Options available on the Latest Income Date.
 
   
A new joint Owner may not be added in a non-qualified Contract if a surviving spouse
 
 
125

 
 
   
 
continues the Contract.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated) if the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life.  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.  If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the Contract cannot be continued without this GMWB.
 
Add another GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the spousal Beneficiary’s eligibility, and provided that this GMWB was terminated on the Continuation Date.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 15 8 .
 
Termination. This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
   
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
The date of death of the Owner (or either joint Owner), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB (continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee if the surviving spouse is a Covered Life);
 
The Continuation Date on a Contract if the spousal Beneficiary, who is not a Covered Life, elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
Annuitization.
 
Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary and the spousal Beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number
 
 
126

 
 
of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  4 6  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Bonus.  The primary purpose of the bonus is to act as an incentive for you to defer taking withdrawals.  A bonus equal to 6% of the Bonus Base (defined below) will be applied to the GWB at the end of each Contract Year within the Bonus Period (also defined below) if no withdrawals are taken during that Contract Year.  The bonus enables the GWB and GAWA to increase in a given Contract Year (even during a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  This description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8.  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 6% of the Bonus Base, which is an amount that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract, as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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.
 
 
 
127

 
 
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.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 6% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal (in a prior year), the GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment or BDB.
 
The Bonus is only available during the Bonus Period.  The Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement.  In addition, the Bonus Period will re-start at the time the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up so long as the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday.  (See example below.)
 
The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following (1) the effective date of the endorsement or (2) the most recent increase to the Bonus Base due to a Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start on a later Contract Anniversary if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
The purpose of the re-start provision is to extend the period of time over which the Owner is eligible to receive a bonus.  For example, assume this GMWB was added to a Contract on December 1, 2008.  At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2018 (which is the tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement).  If a Step-Up increasing the Bonus Base occurs on the third Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement (December 1, 2011), and the youngest Covered Life is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2021.  Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2023 (which is two years after the Bonus Period in this example expired) and that the youngest Covered Life is still younger than age 80 at that time, the Bonus Period would re-start on December 1, 2023, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2033.  (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix C for more information regarding the re-start provision.)
 
Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
 
This is a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) that guarantees the withdrawal of a minimum annual amount for the duration of the life of the Owner (or, in the case of joint Owners, until the death of the first Owner to die) regardless of the performance of the underlying investment options.  This benefit may be appropriate for those individuals who are looking for a number of features, within the GMWB, that may offer a higher level of guarantee and who are not averse to allowing Jackson to transfer assets between investment options, on a formulaic basis, in order to protect its risk.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2010, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 8 for the bonus, example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment and example 12 for transfer of assets.  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”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There are also other GMWB options for joint Owners that are spouses, as described elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
 
128

 
 
 
   
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).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event the Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
Or
 
   
If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, until the earlier of (1) the death of the Owner (or any joint Owner) or (2) all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 
   
The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract (as explained below).
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Owners 55 to 80 years old (proof of age is required) and may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary.  At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age is required for Good Order to add this GMWB to a Contract on a Contract Anniversary.  The Owner may terminate this GMWB on any Contract Anniversary but a request for termination must be received in writing in Good Order within 30 calendar days’ prior to the Contract Anniversary.  This GMWB may also be terminated by a Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  This GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (only one GMWB per Contract).  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.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
         
 
 
     
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Issue Date.
 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
   
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
         
 
 
     
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added.
 
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of the GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
 
129

 
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.  However, this GMWB may be continued by a spousal Beneficiary without the For Life Guarantee.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
55 – 74
5%
75 – 84
6%
85+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  If the GWB falls below the GAWA, the GAWA will be reset to equal the GWB.  This may occur, when over time, payment of guaranteed withdrawals is nearly complete and the GWB has been depleted.  For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA is reset to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is less than the GAWA after any withdrawal.  For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA will be reset to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is less than the GAWA at the end of a Contract Year.  The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  (There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA:
 
 
        ● 
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
 
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
               
     
For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA is unchanged.  At the end of each Contract Year, if the GWB is less than the GAWA and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA is set equal to the GWB.
 
 
The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
130

 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
 
        ● 
If the For Life Guarantee is in force, the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
 
       
If the For Life Guarantee is not in force, the GAWA is equal to:
 
 
         
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal (see below), Or
 
 
         
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GWB after the withdrawal, if less.
 
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, Or
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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 standard death benefit).  All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
 
131

 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
200 % Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment. (If this GMWB was added to your Contract before September 28, 2009, this endorsement provision was referred to as the “Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and the GWB Adjustment.)   If no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a 200% GWB adjustment.
 
The 200% GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:
 
 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) 70th birthday, Or
 
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.
 
The 200% GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the 200% GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 200% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 200% GWB
 
 
132

 
 
 
 
adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 200% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 200% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the 200% GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the GMWB Death Benefit.  Once the GWB is re-set, this 200% GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, this 200% GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this 200% GWB adjustment provision.)
 
400 % Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after September 28, 2009 and no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the 400% GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a 400% GWB adjustment.
 
The 400% GWB Adjustment Date is the 20th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.  The 400% GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the 400% GWB adjustment is equal to 400% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 400% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 400% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 400% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 400% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 400% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the 400% GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the 400% GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the GMWB Death Benefit.  Once the GWB is re-set, this 400% GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the 400% GWB Adjustment Date, this 400% GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of a 400% GWB adjustment provision.)
 
PLEASE NOTE: If you purchase this GMWB when you are 76 years old or older, you will be ineligible for the 400% GWB adjustment.  Since the 400% GWB Adjustment Date is the 20th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement, and since the Latest Income Date (on which all benefits under this GMWB terminate) for this annuity Contract is the Contract Anniversary on or next following the date on which the Owner attains age 95, the 400% GWB Adjustment will be of no benefit to you unless you are 75 years old or younger when you purchase this GMWB.
 
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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
 
133

 
 
Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the highest quarterly Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).
 
 
   With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the highest quarterly Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
             
     
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
The highest quarterly Contract Value equals the highest of the quarterly adjusted Contract Values from the four most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversaries, including the Contract Anniversary upon which the Step-Up is determined.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Value equals the Contract Value on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary, net of any applicable premium taxes, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary.  When determining the quarterly adjusted Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary, the quarterly adjusted Contract Value will be determined prior to any automatic transfer, as required under this GMWB’s Transfer of Assets provision (see below), occurring on the Contract Anniversary.
 
Partial withdrawals will affect the quarterly adjusted Contract Value as follows:
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
 
Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary (11th Contract Anniversary if this endorsement is added to the Contract before September 28, 2009) following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.50% (1.20% if this endorsement is added to the Contract before September 28, 2009).  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  Please be aware that, if this endorsement is added to the Contract on or after September 28, 2009, election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.  While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  (Please see the “Bonus” subsection below for more information.)  Also know that you may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision (together with the GWB bonus provision, if this endorsement is added to the Contract on or after September 28, 2009) at the then current GMWB Charge. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
GMWB Death Benefit.  Upon the death of the Owner (or death of any joint Owner) while the Contract is still in force, the Contract’s death benefit payable is guaranteed not to be less than the GMWB death benefit.  On the effective date of this GMWB endorsement, the GMWB death benefit is equal to the GWB.  With each subsequent Premium received after this endorsement is effective, the
 
 
134

 
 
GMWB death benefit is recalculated to equal the GMWB death benefit prior to the premium plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5 million.
 
Partial withdrawals will affect the GMWB death benefit as follows:
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GMWB death benefit is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The GMWB death benefit before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GMWB death benefit is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The GMWB death benefit prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
 
The GMWB death benefit is not adjusted upon Step-Up, the application of any bonus, or the application of the GWB adjustment.  The GMWB death benefit will terminate on the date the Contract Value is zero and no death benefit will be payable, including this Contract’s basic death benefit or any optional death benefit (i.e., the Earnings Protection Benefit, the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, etc.).  The GMWB death benefit will also terminate and will not be included in any applicable continuation adjustment should this GMWB be continued through Spousal continuation of a Contract.
 
Transfer of Assets. This GMWB requires automatic transfers between your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with the non-discretionary formulas defined in the Transfer of Assets Methodology found in Appendix D.  The formulas are generally designed to mitigate the financial risks to which we are subjected by providing this GMWB’s guarantees.  By electing this GMWB, you are giving control to us of all or a portion of your Contract Value.  By way of the non-discretionary formulas, we determine whether to make a transfer and the amount of any transfer.
 
Under this automatic transfer provision, we monitor your Contract Value each Contract Monthly Anniversary and, if necessary, systematically transfer amounts between your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account.  Amounts transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account will be transferred from each Investment Division/guaranteed fixed account in proportion to their current value.  Transfers from guaranteed fixed accounts will be subject to an interest rate adjustment, if applicable.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers from the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
Generally, automatic transfers to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts will occur when your Contract Value declines due to withdrawals or negative investment returns.  However, there may be an automatic transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account even when you experience positive investment returns if your Contract Value does not sufficiently increase relative to the projected value of the benefits, as reflected in the use of the GAWA and annuity factors in the Liability calculation under the Transfer of Assets Methodology (see Appendix D for the Liability formula, the calculation of which is designed to represent the projected value of this GMWB’s benefits).  In other words, any increase in the GAWA (due to, for example, a premium payment, a Step-Up, the application of any bonus or the application of the GWB adjustment) may also cause an automatic transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts.
 
For an example of how this Transfer of Assets provision and the non-discretionary formulas work, let us assume that, on your first Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 15.26, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, your Separate Account Contract Value is $95,000 and your Fixed Account Contract Value is $5,000.  Your Liability would then be $91,560, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor.  Using the Liability amount, a ratio is then calculated that determines whether a transfer is necessary.  Generally, if the ratio is lower than 77%, funds will be transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account.  If the ratio is more than 83%, then funds are transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
In this example, the ratio is 91.56, which is the Liability amount ($91,560) minus any GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($0), then divided by the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value ($95,000) and the Fixed Account Contract Value ($5,000).  Since the ratio is more than the 83%, funds are transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account.
 
 
135

 
 
Regarding the amount to be transferred when the ratio is above 83%, the amount is determined by taking the lesser of (a) the Separate Account Value plus the Fixed Account Contract Value; or (b) the Liability amount minus the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value, less 80% of the Separate Account Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by 20% (1-80%).  Applying this calculation to our example, (a) would be $100,000 [$95,000 + $5,000] and (b) would be $57,800 [($91,560 - $0 - 0.80*($95,000 + $5,000)) / (1 - .80)] so the lesser of the two and, therefore, the amount transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account is $57,800.
 
To determine how much of the $57,800 transfer is taken from the Fixed Account and how much from the Investment Divisions, we multiply the transfer amount by the proportion of the Contract Value in each the Fixed Account and the Investment Divisions before the transfer.  That is, of the $100,000 total Contract Value in our example, 5% of it was in the Fixed Account ($5,000 /$100,000) and 95% of it was in the Investment Divisions ($95,000/$100,000); therefore, $2,890 ($57,800 multiplied by 5%) is transferred from the Fixed Account to the GMWB Fixed Account and $54,910 ($57,800 multiplied by 95%) is transferred from the Investment Divisions to the GMWB Fixed Account.  After the transfer in this example, the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $57,800, the Separate Account Contract Value is $40,090 and the Fixed Account Contract Value is $2,110.
 
For more information regarding the example above and to see this Transfer of Assets Provision applied using other assumptions, please see Example 12 in Appendix C.  Please also see the Transfer of Assets Methodology in Appendix D, which contains the non-discretionary formulas.
 
By electing this GMWB, it is possible that a significant amount of your Contract Value – possibly your entire Contract Value – may be transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account.  It is also possible that amounts in the GMWB Fixed Account will never be transferred back to your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts.  If any of your Contract Value is automatically transferred to and held in the GMWB Fixed Account, less of your Contract Value may be allocated to the Investment Divisions, which will limit your participation in any market gains and limit the potential for any Step-Ups and increases in your GAWA.  If you are uncomfortable with the possibility of some or all of your Contract Value being automatically moved into the GMWB Fixed Account, this particular GMWB may not be appropriate for you.
 
Amounts transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account will be allocated to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts according to your most recent allocation instructions on file with us.  The automatic transfers under this Transfer of Assets provision will not count against the 15 free transfers in a Contract Year.  No adjustment will be made to the GWB, GAWA, GWB adjustment, GMWB death benefit or Bonus Base as a result of these transfers.  You will receive a confirmation statement reflecting the automatic transfer of any Contract Value to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
Once you purchase your Contract, the non-discretionary formulas are fixed and not subject to change.  However, we reserve the right to change the formulas for Contracts issued in the future.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Fixed Account.  A certain percentage of the value in your Contract, as explained above, may be allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with non-discretionary formulas.  You may not allocate additional monies to the GMWB Fixed Account.  The Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account is credited with a specific interest rate.  The interest rate initially declared for each transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account will remain in effect for a period of not less than one year.  GMWB Fixed Account interest rates for subsequent periods may be higher or lower than the rates previously declared.  The interest rate is credited daily to the Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account and the rate may vary by state but will never be less than 3%.  Please contact us at the Annuity Service Center or contact your representative to obtain the currently declared GMWB Fixed Account interest rate for your state.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Contract charges deducted from the Fixed Account and Investment Divisions are also deducted from the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with your Contract’s provisions.  The deduction of charges may cause an automatic transfer under the Transfer of Assets provision. DCA, DCA+, Earnings Sweep and Automatic Rebalancing are not available to or from the GMWB Fixed Account.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers, withdrawals or deductions from the GMWB Fixed Account.  Transfers to and from the GMWB Fixed Account are automatic; you may not choose to transfer amounts to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner), so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
 
136

 
 
 
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.
 
             
     
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
 
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
 
     
For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA is unchanged.  At the end of each Contract Year, if the GWB is less than the GAWA and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA is set equal to the GWB.
 
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  If you die, all rights under your Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no death benefit is payable, including the GMWB death benefit and 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
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 GMWB death benefit is void and will not be included in the continuation adjustment.
 
   
The GWB adjustment provisions are void.
 
   
The Bonus provision is void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted; otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
The Liability factors for the transfer of assets formulas (see Appendix D) will continue to be based on the duration since the effective date of the GMWB endorsement.
 
   
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of death.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to the “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
   
The spousal Beneficiary may terminate the GMWB on any subsequent
 
 
 
137

 
 
      Contract Anniversary.
       
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).
       
   
The GMWB death benefit will be included in the calculation of the Continuation Adjustment.
       
   
The GMWB Fixed Account value will be transferred to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.
       
Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary’s eligibility – whether or not the spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 158 .
 
Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge, when applicable, assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Contract Anniversary following the Company’s receipt of the Owner’s request for termination in Good Order;
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
If this GMWB is terminated and the Contract remains in force, the GMWB Fixed Account value will be transferred to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.
 
Annuitization.
 
Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
 
138

 
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Bonus.  The description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8. The bonus is an incentive for you not to utilize this GMWB (take withdrawals) during a limited period of time, subject to conditions and limitations, allowing the GWB and GAWA to increase (even in a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to any Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  The bonus is a percentage of a sum called the Bonus Base (defined below).  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 7% and is based on a sum that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the “Bonus Base”), as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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.
 
 
 
139

 
 
The Bonus is available for a limited time (the “Bonus Period”).  The Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement and will re-start at the time of a Bonus Base Step-Up if the Bonus Base increases due to the Step-Up and if the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the Owner’s (if Joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s) 80th birthday.  The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement or the most recent Bonus Base Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
     
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start at a later date if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
This GWB Bonus provision is terminated when this GMWB is terminated or if this GMWB is continued through Spousal continuation of a Contract; 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.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 7% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment, or GMWB death benefit.
 
Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Select With Joint Option”).
 
This is a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) that guarantees the withdrawal of a minimum annual amount for the duration of the life of the Owner and the Owner’s spouse regardless of the performance of the underlying investment options.  This benefit may be appropriate for those individuals who are looking for a number of features, within the GMWB, that may offer a higher level of guarantee and who are not averse to allowing Jackson to transfer assets between investment options, on a formulaic basis, in order to protect its risk.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2010, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 8 for the bonus, example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment and example 12 for transfer of assets.
 
The election of this GMWB under a non-qualified Contract requires the joint Owners to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) and each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”
 
The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary Beneficiary and all other Beneficiaries will be treated as contingent Beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent Beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.
 
This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant’s life who dies last.
 
Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary Beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal
 
 
140

 
 
Revenue Code). The Owner and only the primary spousal Beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.
 
In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.
 
For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal Beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal Beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal Beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new Beneficiary.
 
For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event the Contract Value is reduced to zero.
Or
 
   
If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, until the earlier of (1) the death of the Owner (or any joint Owner) or (2) all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 
   
The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract (as explained below).
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Owners 55 to 80 years old (proof of age is required) and may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary.  The Owner may terminate this GMWB on any Contract Anniversary but a request for termination must be received in writing in Good Order within 30 calendar days’ prior to the Contract Anniversary.  This GMWB may also be terminated by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.
 
At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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).  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
 
141

 
 
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Lifes attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Issue Date.
 
 
 
When this GMWB is added
to the Contract on any
Contract Anniversary
   
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added.
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of the GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void unless this GMWB is continued by a spousal beneficiary who is a Covered Life.  However, it is possible for this GMWB to be continued without the For Life Guarantee by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
55 – 74
5%
75 – 84
6%
85+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  If the GWB falls below the GAWA, the GAWA will be reset to equal the GWB.  This may occur, when over time, payment of guaranteed withdrawals is nearly complete and the GWB has been depleted.  For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA is reset to equal the GWB, if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is less than the GAWA after any withdrawal.  For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA will be reset to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is less than the GAWA at the end of a Contract Year.  The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  (There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
142

 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
 
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
     
For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA is unchanged.  At the end of each Contract Year, if the GWB is less than the GAWA and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA is set equal to the GWB.
 
 
The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
 
        ● 
If the For Life Guarantee is in force, the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
 
       
If the For Life Guarantee is not in force, the GAWA is equal to:
 
 
         
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal (see below), Or
 
 
          ● 
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GWB after the withdrawal, if less.
 
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, Or
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
 
143

 
 
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 standard death benefit).  All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 159 .
 
If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life’s falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  (If this GMWB was added to your Contract before September 28, 2009, this endorsement provision was referred to as the “Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and the “GWB Adjustment”.)   If no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a 200% GWB adjustment.
 
The 200% GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:
 
 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 70th birthday, Or
 
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.
 
The 200% GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the 200% GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 200% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 200% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 200% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 200% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the 200% GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the GMWB Death Benefit.  Once the GWB is re-set, this 200% GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, this 200% GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this 200% GWB adjustment provision.)
 
400 % Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after September 28, 2009 and no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the 400% GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a 400% GWB adjustment.
 
The 400% GWB Adjustment Date is the 20th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.  The 400% GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the 400% GWB adjustment is equal to 400% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 400% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 400% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 400% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 400% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 400% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the 400% GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the 400% GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the GMWB Death Benefit.  Once the GWB is re-set, this 400% GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the 400% GWB Adjustment Date, this 400% GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of a GWB adjustment provision.)
 
PLEASE NOTE: If either Covered Life is 76 years old or older when this GMWB is purchased, the 400% GWB adjustment will be of no benefit.  Since the 400% GWB Adjustment Date is the 20th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement, and since the Latest Income Date (on which all benefits under this GMWB terminate) for this annuity
 
 
145

 
 
Contract is the Contract Anniversary on or next following the date on which the Owner or either joint Owner (oldest Covered Life) attains age 95, the 400% GWB Adjustment will be of no benefit to you unless both Covered Lives are 75 years old or younger when you purchase this GMWB.
 
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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the highest quarterly Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the highest quarterly Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
             
     
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
The highest quarterly Contract Value equals the highest of the quarterly adjusted Contract Values from the four most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversaries, including the Contract Anniversary upon which the Step-Up is determined.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Value equals the Contract Value on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary, net of any applicable premium taxes, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary.  When determining the quarterly adjusted Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary, the quarterly adjusted Contract Value will be determined prior to any automatic transfer, as required under this GMWB’s Transfer of Assets provision (see below), occurring on the Contract Anniversary.
 
Partial withdrawals will affect the quarterly adjusted Contract Value as follows:
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
 
146

 
 
Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary (11th Contract Anniversary if this endorsement is added to the Contract before September 28, 2009) following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.86% (1.50% if this endorsement is added to the Contract before September 28, 2009).  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  Please be aware that, if this endorsement is added to the Contract on or after September 28, 2009, election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.  While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  (Please see the “Bonus” subsection below for more information.)  Also know that you may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision (together with the GWB bonus provision, if this endorsement is added to the Contract on or after September 28, 2009) at the then current GMWB Charge. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
GMWB Death Benefit.  Upon the death of the Owner (or death of any joint Owner) while the Contract is still in force, the Contract’s death benefit payable is guaranteed not to be less than the GMWB death benefit.  On the effective date of this GMWB endorsement, the GMWB death benefit is equal to the GWB.  With each subsequent Premium received after this endorsement is effective, the GMWB death benefit is recalculated to equal the GMWB death benefit prior to the premium plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5 million.
 
Partial withdrawals will affect the GMWB death benefit as follows:
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable –
   
The GMWB death benefit is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The GMWB death benefit before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GMWB death benefit is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The GMWB death benefit prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
The GMWB death benefit is not adjusted upon Step-Up, the application of any bonus, or the application of the GWB adjustment.  The GMWB death benefit will terminate on the date the Contract Value is zero and no death benefit will be payable, including this Contract’s basic death benefit or any optional death benefit (i.e., the Earnings Protection Benefit, the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, etc.).  The GMWB death benefit will also terminate and will not be included in any applicable continuation adjustment should this GMWB be continued through Spousal continuation of a Contract.
 
Transfer of Assets.  This GMWB requires automatic transfers between your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with the non-discretionary formulas defined in the Transfer of Assets Methodology found in Appendix D.  The formulas are generally designed to mitigate the financial risks to which we are subjected by providing this GMWB’s guarantees.  By electing this GMWB, you are giving control to us of all or a portion of your Contract Value.  By way of the non-discretionary formulas, we determine whether to make a transfer and the amount of any transfer.
 
Under this automatic transfer provision, we monitor your Contract Value each Contract Monthly Anniversary and, if necessary, systematically transfer amounts between your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account.  Amounts transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account will be transferred from each Investment Division/guaranteed fixed account in proportion to their current value.  Transfers from guaranteed fixed accounts will be subject to an interest rate adjustment, if applicable.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers from the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
Generally, automatic transfers to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts will occur when your Contract Value declines due to withdrawals or negative investment returns.  However, there may be an automatic

transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account even when you experience positive investment returns if your Contract Value does not sufficiently increase relative to the projected value of the benefits, as reflected in the use of the GAWA and annuity factors in the Liability calculation under the Transfer of Assets Methodology (see Appendix D for the Liability formula, the calculation of which is designed to represent the projected value of this GMWB’s benefits).  In other words, any increase in the GAWA (due to, for example, a premium payment, a Step-Up, the application of any bonus or the application of the GWB adjustment) may also cause an automatic transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts.
 
For an example of how this Transfer of Assets provision and the non-discretionary formulas work, let us assume that, on your first Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 15.26, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, your Separate Account Contract Value is $95,000 and your Fixed Account Contract Value is $5,000.  Your Liability would then be $91,560, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor.  Using the Liability amount, a ratio is then calculated that determines whether a transfer is necessary.  Generally, if the ratio is lower than 77%, funds will be transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account.  If the ratio is more than 83%, then funds are transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
In this example, the ratio is 91.56, which is the Liability amount ($91,560) minus any GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($0), then divided by the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value ($95,000) and the Fixed Account Contract Value ($5,000).  Since the ratio is more than the 83%, funds are transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account.
 
Regarding the amount to be transferred when the ratio is above 83%, the amount is determined by taking the lesser of (a) the Separate Account Value plus the Fixed Account Contract Value; or (b) the Liability amount minus the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value, less 80% of the Separate Account Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by 20% (1-80%).  Applying this calculation to our example, (a) would be $100,000 [$95,000 + $5,000] and (b) would be $57,800 [($91,560 - $0 - 0.80*($95,000 + $5,000)) / (1 - .80)] so the lesser of the two and, therefore, the amount transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account is $57,800.
 
To determine how much of the $57,800 transfer is taken from the Fixed Account and how much from the Investment Divisions, we multiply the transfer amount by the proportion of the Contract Value in each the Fixed Account and the Investment Divisions before the transfer.  That is, of the $100,000 total Contract Value in our example, 5% of it was in the Fixed Account ($5,000 /$100,000) and 95% of it was in the Investment Divisions ($95,000/$100,000); therefore, $2,890 ($57,800 multiplied by 5%) is transferred from the Fixed Account to the GMWB Fixed Account and $54,910 ($57,800 multiplied by 95%) is transferred from the Investment Divisions to the GMWB Fixed Account.  After the transfer in this example, the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $57,800, the Separate Account Contract Value is $40,090 and the Fixed Account Contract Value is $2,110.
 
For more information regarding the example above and to see this Transfer of Assets Provision applied using other assumptions, please see Example 12 in Appendix C.  Please also see the Transfer of Assets Methodology in Appendix D, which contains the non-discretionary formulas.
 
By electing this GMWB, it is possible that a significant amount of your Contract Value – possibly your entire Contract Value – may be transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account.  It is also possible that amounts in the GMWB Fixed Account will never be transferred back to your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts.  If any of your Contract Value is automatically transferred to and held in the GMWB Fixed Account, less of your Contract Value may be allocated to the Investment Divisions, which will limit your participation in any market gains and limit the potential for any Step-Ups and increases in your GAWA.  If you are uncomfortable with the possibility of some or all of your Contract Value being automatically moved into the GMWB Fixed Account, this particular GMWB may not be appropriate for you.
 
Amounts transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account will be allocated to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts according to your most recent allocation instructions on file with us.  The automatic transfers under this Transfer of Assets provision will not count against the 15 free transfers in a Contract Year.  No adjustment will be made to the GWB, GAWA, GWB adjustment, GMWB death benefit or Bonus Base as a result of these transfers.  You will receive a confirmation statement reflecting the automatic transfer of any Contract Value to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
Once you purchase your Contract, the non-discretionary formulas are fixed and not subject to change.  However, we reserve the right to change the formulas for Contracts issued in the future.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Fixed Account.  A certain percentage of the value in your Contract, as explained above, may be allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with non-discretionary formulas.  You may not allocate additional monies to the GMWB Fixed Account.  The Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account is credited with a specific interest rate.  The interest rate initially declared for each transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account will remain in effect for a period of not less than one year.  GMWB Fixed Account interest rates for subsequent periods may be higher or lower than the rates previously declared.  The interest rate is credited daily to the Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account and the rate may vary by state but will never be less than 3%.  Please contact us at the Annuity Service Center or contact your representative to obtain the currently declared GMWB Fixed Account interest rate for your state.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
148

 
 
Contract charges deducted from the Fixed Account and Investment Divisions are also deducted from the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with your Contract’s provisions.  The deduction of charges may cause an automatic transfer under the Transfer of Assets provision. DCA, DCA+, Earnings Sweep and Automatic Rebalancing are not available to or from the GMWB Fixed Account.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers, withdrawals or deductions from the GMWB Fixed Account.  Transfers to and from the GMWB Fixed Account are automatic; you may not choose to transfer amounts to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the last surviving Covered Life, so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
 
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.
 
             
     
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
 
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
 
     
For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA is unchanged.  At the end of each Contract Year, if the GWB is less than the GAWA and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA is set equal to the GWB.
 
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  Upon death of the last surviving Covered Life, all rights under your Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no death benefit is payable, including the GMWB death benefit and the Earnings Protection Benefit.
 
Spousal Continuation.  In the event of the Owner’s (or either joint Owner’s) death, the surviving spousal Beneficiary 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, the GMWB death benefit remains in force but will not be included in the continuation adjustment.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the GMWB death benefit is null and void and will not be included in the continuation adjustment.
 
 
149

 
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and a GWB adjustment provision is in force on the continuation date then the provision will continue to apply in accordance with the applicable GWB adjustment provision rules above.  The applicable GWB adjustment date will continue to be based on the original effective date of the endorsement or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age, as applicable.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the GWB adjustment provisions are null and void.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, the Bonus provision will continue as permitted in accordance with the Bonus rules above.  The Bonus Period will continue to be based on the original effective date of the endorsement, the most recent Bonus Base Step-Up, or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age, as applicable.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the Bonus provision is null and void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
The Liability factors for the transfer of assets formulas (see Appendix D) will continue to be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age on the effective date of the endorsement and the duration since the effective date of the GMWB endorsement.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life and the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age on the continuation date.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to the “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
 
 
150

 
 
   
The spousal Beneficiary may terminate the GMWB on any subsequent Contract Anniversary.  Such a request must be received in Good Order within 30 calendar days prior to the Contract Anniversary.
       
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.
 
   
The GMWB death benefit will be included in the calculation of the Continuation Adjustment.
 
   
The GMWB Fixed Account value will be transferred to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.
 
Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary’s eligibility – whether or not the spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 158 .
 
Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge, when applicable, assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Contract Anniversary following the Company’s receipt of the Owner’s request for termination in Good Order;
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
If this GMWB is terminated and the Contract remains in force, the GMWB Fixed Account value will be transferred to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.
 
Annuitization.
 
Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
 
151

 
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary and the spousal Beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)
 
This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.
 
See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  46  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.
 
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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Bonus.  The description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8. The bonus is an incentive for you not to utilize this GMWB (take withdrawals) during a limited period of time, subject to conditions and limitations, allowing the GWB and GAWA to increase (even in a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to any Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  The bonus is a percentage of a sum called the Bonus Base (defined below).  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 7% and is based on a sum that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the “Bonus Base”), as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
 
152

 
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement and will re-start at the time of a Bonus Base Step-Up if the Bonus Base increases due to the Step-Up and if the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday.  The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement or the most recent Bonus Base Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start at a later date if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
This GWB Bonus provision is terminated when this GMWB is terminated or if this GMWB is continued through Spousal continuation of a Contract and the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life.  If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, 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.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 7% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment, or GMWB death benefit.
 
Systematic Withdrawal Program. You can arrange to have money automatically sent to you periodically while your Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  You may withdraw a specified dollar amount (of at least $50 per withdrawal), a specified percentage or earnings.  Your withdrawals may be on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.  If you have arranged for systematic withdrawals, schedule any planned Step-Up under a GMWB to occur prior to the withdrawal.  Example 7 in Appendix C illustrates the consequences of a withdrawal preceding a Step-Up.  There is no charge for the Systematic Withdrawal Program; however, you will have to pay taxes on the money you receive.  In addition, withdrawals you make before you reach 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% tax penalty.  You may also be subject to a withdrawal charge and an interest rate adjustment.
 
If your Contract contains LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB, systematic withdrawals are only allowed on a pro-rata basis including all investment options (including the GMWB Fixed Account) or, in the alternative, may be requested from specified investment options, excluding the GMWB Fixed Account.  A specified withdrawal request may cause an automatic transfer from the GMWB Fixed Account on the following Contract Monthly Anniversary.
 
In addition, for Contracts with the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB, the percentage of the partial withdrawal taken from the GMWB Fixed Account cannot exceed the ratio of the GMWB Fixed Account value to the Contract Value.
 
We reserve the right to discontinue offering this program in the future.
 
Suspension of Withdrawals or Transfers. Jackson may be required to suspend or delay withdrawals or transfers from an Investment Division when:
 
a)  
the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);
 
 
153

 
 
b)  
trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
c)  
an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of securities in the Separate Account or determine the division value of its assets; or
 
d)  
the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of Owners.
 
The applicable rules and regulations of the SEC will govern whether the conditions described in (b) and/or (c) exist.
 
Jackson has reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account for the period permitted by law, but not more than six months.
 
 
The income phase occurs when you begin receiving regular payments from your Contract.  The Income Date is the day on which those payments begin.  The Income Date must be at least one year after your Contract is issued.  You can choose the Income Date and an income option.  The income options are described below.
 
If you do not choose an income option, we will assume that you selected Option 3 which provides a life annuity with 120 months of guaranteed payments.
 
You can change the Income Date or income option at least 7 days before the income date.  You must give us notice seven days before the scheduled income date.  Income payments must begin by your 90th birthday under a non-qualified Contract, unless otherwise approved by the Company, or by such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.  However, if you have not yet attained or passed age 90, you may elect to change your Income Date to the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 95th birthday.  Additionally, if you already attained or passed age 90 as of April 6, 2009 and have not yet started receiving income payments, you may elect to change your Income Date to the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 100th birthday.
 
Under a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity, required minimum distributions must begin in the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 (or such other age as required by law).  Distributions under qualified plans and Tax-Sheltered Annuities must begin by the later of the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which you retire.  You do not necessarily have to annuitize your Contract to meet the minimum distribution requirements for Individual Retirement Annuities, qualified plans, and Tax-Sheltered Annuities.  Distributions from Roth IRAs are not required prior to your death.
 
At the income date, you can choose whether payments will come from the guaranteed fixed accounts, the Investment Divisions or both.  Unless you tell us otherwise, your income payments will be based on the Allocation Options that were in place on the income date.
 
You can choose to have income payments made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.  However, if you have less than $5,000 to apply toward an income option and state law permits, Jackson may provide your payment in a single lump sum, part of which may be taxable as Federal Income.  Likewise, if your first income payment would be less than $50 and state law permits, Jackson may set the frequency of payments so that the first payment would be at least $50.
 
If the assumed net investment rate is a lower percentage, for example, 3% versus 4.5% under a particular Annuity Option, the initial payment will be smaller if a 3% assumed net investment rate applies instead of a 4.5% assumed net investment rate, but, all other things being equal, the subsequent 3% assumed net investment rate payments have the potential for increasing in amount by a larger percentage and for decreasing in amount by a smaller percentage.
 
Income Payments from Investment Divisions. If you choose to have any portion of your income payments come from the Investment Division(s), the dollar amount of your payment will depend upon three things:
 
1.     
the value of your Contract in the Investment Division(s) on the income date;
 
 
2.
the 3% assumed investment rate used in the annuity table for the Contract; and
 
 
3.
the performance of the Investment Divisions you selected.
 
Jackson calculates the dollar amount of the first income payment that you receive from the Investment Divisions.  We then use that amount to determine the number of annuity units that you hold in each Investment Division.  The amount of each subsequent income payment is determined by multiplying the number of annuity units that you hold in an Investment Division by the annuity unit value for that Investment Division.
 
 
154

 
 
The number of annuity units that you hold in each Investment Division does not change unless you reallocate your Contract Value among the Investment Divisions.  The annuity unit value of each Investment Division will vary based on the investment performance of the Funds.  If the actual investment performance exactly matches the assumed rate at all times, the amount of each income payment will remain equal.  If the actual investment performance exceeds the assumed rate, your income payments will increase.  Similarly, if the actual investment performance is less than the assumed rate, your income payments will decrease.
 
Income Options. The annuitant is the person whose life we look to when we make income payments.  (Each description assumes that you are the Owner and annuitant.)  The following income options may not be available in all states.
 
Option 1 - Life Income.  This income option provides monthly payments for your life.  No further payments are payable after your death.
 
Option 2 - Joint and Survivor Annuity.  This income option provides monthly payments for your life and for the life of another person (usually your spouse) selected by you.  Upon the death of either person, the monthly payments will continue during the lifetime of the survivor.  No further payments are payable after the death of the survivor.
 
Option 3 - Life Annuity With 120 or 240 Monthly Payments.  This income option provides monthly payments for the annuitant’s life, but with payments continuing to the beneficiary for the remainder of 10 or 20 years (as you select) if the annuitant dies before the end of the selected period.  If the beneficiary does not want to receive the remaining scheduled payments, a single lump sum payment may be requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments (as of the date of calculation) discounted at an interest rate that will be no more than 1% higher than the rate used to calculate the initial payment.
 
Option 4 - Income for a Specified Period.  This income option provides monthly payments for any number of years from 5 to 30.  If the beneficiary does not want to receive the remaining scheduled payments, a single lump sum may be requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments (as of the date of calculation) discounted at an interest rate that will be no more than 1% higher than the rate used to calculate the initial payment.
 
Additional Options - Other income options may be made available by Jackson.
 
 
The death benefit paid to your beneficiary upon your death is calculated as of the date we receive all required documentation which includes but is not limited to due proof of death and a completed claim form from the beneficiary of record (if there are multiple beneficiaries, we will calculate the death benefit when we receive this documentation from the first beneficiary).  The death benefit paid will be the basic Contract death benefit unless you have selected the Maximum Anniversary Value death benefit.  If you have the Maximum Anniversary Value death benefit, the difference between the account value and the Maximum Anniversary Value death benefit will be put into your account as of the date we receive completed claim forms and proof of death from the beneficiary of record and will be allocated among investment options according to future allocations on file for your account as of that date.  Each beneficiary will receive their portion of the remaining value, subject to market fluctuations, when their option election form is received at our Home Office in Lansing, Michigan.
 
The effects of any GMWB on the amount payable to your beneficiaries upon your death should be considered before selecting a GMWB.  Except as provided in certain of the GMWB endorsements, no death benefit will be paid upon your death in the event the Contract Value falls to zero.  See the individual GMWB subsections earlier in this prospectus under “ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY” for information about how the GMWB endorsements work.
 
Death of Owner Before the Income Date. If you die before moving to the income phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death benefit.  If you have a joint Owner, the death benefit will be paid when the first joint Owner dies.  The surviving joint Owner will be treated as the beneficiary.  Any other beneficiary designated will be treated as a contingent beneficiary.  Jackson may limit permissible joint Owners to spouses.
 
 
155

 
 
Base Contract Death Benefit
 
The death benefit equals:
 
 
1.
current Contract Value; or
 
 
2.  
the total premiums (less withdrawals, charges and premium taxes) compounded at 5% (4% if the Owner is age 70 or older at the date of issue); or
 
 
3.
the Contract Value at the end of the 7th Contract year PLUS all premiums paid since the 7th year (less withdrawals, withdrawal charges and premium taxes incurred since the 7th year) compounded at 5% (4% if the Owner is age 70 or older at the date of issue);
 
 -- whichever is GREATEST.
 
The death benefit under 2 and 3 will never exceed 250% of premiums paid, less partial withdrawals, charges and tax incurred.  The death benefit under 2 and 3 may not be available in all states.
 
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option (must be elected at issue)
 
The death benefit equals:
 
 
1. 
current Contract Value; or
 
 
2. 
the total premiums (less withdrawals, charges and taxes) compounded at 5% (4% if the Owner is age 70 or older at the date of issue) or
 
 
3.
the Contract Value at the end of the 7th Contract year PLUS all premiums paid since the 7th year (less withdrawals, charges and taxes incurred since the 7th year) compounded at 5% (4% if the Owner is age 70 or older at the date of issue); or
 
 
4.
the greatest Contract Value at any Contract anniversary prior to the Owners 81st birthday, reduced proportionally by any withdrawals subsequent to that Contract anniversary in the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of a withdrawal, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract anniversary.
 
-- whichever is GREATEST.
 
The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option may not be available in all states and is not available to Contract Owners greater than age 80.
 
The death benefit determined under item 2 or item 3 of the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option is limited to never exceed 250% of premiums paid, less withdrawals, charges, and taxes incurred.
 
The additional insurance charge for the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option will continue to be deducted after you reach age 81, although the highest Contract Value on any anniversary after age 81 will not be paid.
 
This amount will be determined as of the end of the Business Day when due proof of the Owner’s death is satisfactory to us and an election as to the type of Death Benefit Option is received by the Company at its Annuity Service Center.
 
From the time of death of the Owner until the death benefit amount is determined, any amount allocated to an Investment Division will be subject to investment risk.  This investment risk is borne by the beneficiary(ies).
 
The death benefit can be paid under one of the following death benefit options:
 
 
single lump sum payment; or
 
 
payment of entire death benefit within 5 years of the date of death; or
 
 
156

 
 
 
payment of the entire death benefit under an income option over the beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the beneficiary’s life expectancy; or payment of a portion of the death benefit under an income option over the beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the beneficiary’s life expectancy, with the balance of the death benefit payable to the beneficiary.
 
Under these income options, the beneficiary may also elect to receive additional lump sums at any time.  The receipt of any additional lump sums will reduce the future income payments to the beneficiary.
 
Unless the beneficiary chooses to receive the entire death benefit in a single sum, the beneficiary must elect an income option within the 60-day period beginning with the date Jackson receives proof of death and payments must begin within one year of the date of death.  If the beneficiary chooses to receive some or all of the death benefit in a single sum and all the necessary requirements are met, Jackson will pay the death benefit within seven days.  If the beneficiary is your spouse, he/she can continue the Contract in his/her own name at the then current Contract Value.
 
As Owner, you may also make a predetermined selection of the death benefit option to be paid if your death occurs before the income date.  If this Preselected Death Benefit Option Election is in force at the time of your death, the payment of the death benefit may not be postponed, nor can the Contract be continued under any other provisions of this Contract.  This restriction applies even if the beneficiary is your spouse, unless such restriction is prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code.  The Preselected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.
 
Earnings Protection Benefit (“EarningsMax”). The Earnings Protection Benefit is an optional benefit that may increase the amount of the death benefit payable at your death.  If you are 75 years of age or younger when your Contract is issued, you may elect the Earnings Protection Benefit when the Contract is issued.
 
If you are under the age of 70 when your Contract is issued and you elect the Earnings Protection Benefit then, the amount that will be added to the death benefit that is otherwise payable is 40% of the earnings in your Contract, subject to the limit described below.
 
If you are between the ages of 70 – 75 when your Contract is issued and you elect the Earnings Protection Benefit, the amount that will be added to the death benefit that is otherwise payable is 25% of the earnings in your Contract, subject to the limit described below.
 
For purposes of this benefit, we define earnings as the amount by which the sum of your Contract Value in the Separate Account and the Fixed Account exceeds the total premiums paid into the Contract (less prior withdrawals, withdrawal charges and premium taxes applicable to the withdrawals).  If the earnings amount is negative, i.e., the total premiums paid into your Contract (adjusted for any withdrawals and associated charges) are greater than the Contract Value, no Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid.
 
In determining the maximum amount of earnings on which we will calculate your Earnings Protection Benefit, we do not take into consideration any earnings above 100% of the total premiums paid (adjusted for any withdrawals and associated charges).  Premiums paid in the 12 months prior to the date of your death (other than your initial premium if you die in the first Contract Year) are excluded.
 
As described below, if your spouse exercises the Special Spousal Continuation Option upon your death, we will increase the Contract Value at that time to reflect any otherwise payable Earnings Protection Benefit.  In addition, upon your spouse’s death we will pay an Earnings Protection Benefit if your Contract has accrued additional earnings since your death.  In calculating that benefit, we will not take into consideration earnings accrued on or prior to the Continuation Date (as defined in “Special Spousal Continuation Option” below).  In addition, the maximum earnings on which we calculate the Earnings Protection Benefit will be based solely upon premiums paid after the Continuation Date (adjusted for withdrawals and associated charges).  Premiums paid in the 12 months prior to the date of your spouse’s death are excluded.
 
You must elect the Earnings Protection Benefit when you apply for your Contract.  Once elected, the benefit may not be terminated.
 
No Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid:
 
 
1.  
if the Contract is in the income phase at the time of your death;
 
 
2.  
if there are no earnings in the Contract.
 
Moreover, no additional Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid if your spouse exercises the Special Spousal Continuation Option (described below) after your death and does not pay any premiums into the Contract after the Continuation Date.
 
If you elect this benefit, during the accumulation phase of the Contract we will deduct a charge of 0.20% of the daily net asset value of the Funds.  This charge is in addition to the other charges that are deducted from your Contract.
 
 
157

 
 
This charge continues if your spouse elects to continue the Contract under the Special Spousal Continuation Option.  Please note that we collect this charge even if your spouse does not pay any additional premium after the Continuation Date and therefore is not eligible for an Earnings Protection Benefit upon his or her death.  In addition, if your spouse pays little or no premium after the Continuation Date, the potential Earnings Protection Benefit may be much lower than it was prior to the Continuation Date.  We continue to collect this charge at the same rate because the level of this charge is based on the expected Contract Value and duration of all Contracts having the Earnings Protection Benefit and Special Spousal Continuation Option Endorsements.
 
Contract value is determined as of the date we receive complete claim forms and due proof of death from the beneficiary of record.
 
The Earnings Protection Benefit may not be available in your state or through the broker-dealer with which your financial advisor is affiliated.  See your financial advisor for information regarding the availability of the Earnings Protection Benefit.
 
Special Spousal Continuation Option. If your spouse is the beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract in his or her own name after your death, pursuant to the Special Spousal Continuation Option no death benefit will be paid at that time.  Instead, we will contribute to the Contract a Continuation Adjustment, which is the amount by which the death benefit that would have been payable (including the Earnings Enhancement Benefit, if any) exceeds the Contract Value.  We calculate this amount using the Contract Value and death benefit as of the date we receive complete forms and due proof of death from the beneficiary of record and the spousal beneficiary’s written request to continue the Contract (the Continuation Date).  We will add this amount to the Contract based on the allocation instructions at the time of your death subject to any minimum allocation restrictions, unless we receive other allocation instructions from your spouse.  The Special Spousal Continuation Option may not be available in your state or through the broker-dealer with which your financial advisor is affiliated.  See your financial advisor for information regarding the availability of the Special Spousal Continuation Option.
 
If your spouse continues the Contract in his/her own name, the new Contract Value will be considered the initial premium for purposes of determining any future death benefit, including any Earnings Protection Benefit, under the Contract.  The age of the surviving spouse at the time of the continuation of the Contract will be used to determine all benefits under the Contract.
 
If your spouse elects to continue the Contract, your spouse, as new Owner, cannot terminate certain optional benefits you might have elected.  However, a GMWB will terminate upon your death (and no further GMWB charges will be deducted), unless your spouse is eligible for the benefit and elects to continue it with the Contract.  For more information, please see the individual GMWB subsections earlier in this prospectus under “Access To Your Money.”
 
The optional benefits that cannot be terminated by your spouse are the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit and the Earnings Protection Benefit.  The Contract, and these two optional benefits, remain the same.  Your spouse will also be subject to the same fees, charges and expenses under the Contract as you were.  In particular, the charge for the Earnings Protection Benefit will remain the same even though, as discussed in “Earnings Protection Benefit” above, in certain circumstances the potential benefit will be lower after the Continuation Date.  Your spouse should weigh this cost against the potential benefits, in deciding whether to exercise the Special Spousal Continuation Option.
 
Even if your spouse pays premiums after the Continuation Date, no Earnings Protection Benefit will apply if your spouse is 76 or older when the Contract is continued, even though charges for the benefit are assessed.
 
If you have elected the Preselected Death Benefit Option the Contract cannot be continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, unless preventing continuation would be prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code.  The Preselected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.
 
Death of Owner On or After the Income Date. If you or a joint Owner die on or after the income date, any remaining payments under the income option elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the date of death.  If you die, the beneficiary becomes the Owner.  If the joint Owner dies, the surviving joint Owner, if any, will be the designated beneficiary.  Any other beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent beneficiary.  A contingent beneficiary is entitled to receive payment only after the beneficiary dies.
 
Death of Annuitant. If the annuitant is not an Owner or joint Owner and the annuitant dies before the income date, you can name a new annuitant, subject to our underwriting rules.  If you do not name a new annuitant within 30 days of the death of the annuitant, you will become the annuitant.  However, if the Owner is a non-natural person (for example, a corporation), then the death of the annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner, and a new annuitant may not be named.
 
If the annuitant dies on or after the income date, any remaining payments will be as provided for in the income option selected.  Any remaining payments will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the annuitant’s death.

The following is only general information and is not intended as tax advice to any individual.  Additional tax information is included in the SAI.  You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these general rules will apply to you if you purchase a Contract.
 
 
Tax-Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts. If you purchase the Contract as a part of a tax-qualified plan such as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), Tax-Sheltered Annuity (sometimes referred to as 403(b) Contract), or pension or profit-sharing plan (including a 401(k) Plan or H.R. 10 Plan), your Contract will be what is referred to as a tax-qualified contract.  Tax deferral under a tax-qualified contract arises under the specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) governing the tax-qualified plan, so a tax-qualified contract should be purchased only for the features and benefits other than tax deferral that are available under a tax-qualified contract, and not for the purpose of obtaining tax deferral.  You should consult your own adviser regarding these features and benefits of the Contract prior to purchasing a tax-qualified Contract.
 
If you do not purchase the Contract as a part of any tax-qualified pension plan, specially sponsored program or an individual retirement annuity, your Contract will be what is referred to as a non-qualified contract.
 
The amount of your tax liability on the earnings under and the amounts received from either a tax-qualified or a non-qualified Contract will vary depending on the specific tax rules applicable to your Contract and your particular circumstances.
 
Non-Qualified Contracts – General Taxation. Increases in the value of a non-qualified Contract attributable to undistributed earnings are generally not taxable to the Contract Owner or the annuitant until a distribution (either as a withdrawal, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, or as an income payment) is made from the Contract.  This tax deferral is generally not available under a non-qualified Contract owned by a non-natural person (e.g., corporation or certain other entities other than a trust holding the Contract as an agent for a natural person).  Also loans based on a non-qualified Contract are treated as distributions.
 
Non-Qualified Contracts – Aggregation of Contracts.  For purposes of determining the taxability of a distribution, the Code provides that all non-qualified contracts issued by us (or an affiliate) to you during any calendar year must be treated as one annuity contract.  Additional rules may be promulgated under this Code provision to prevent avoidance of its effect through the ownership of serial contracts or otherwise.
 
Non-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments. Any withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, is taxable as ordinary income to the extent it does not exceed the accumulated earnings under the Contract.  In contrast, a part of each income payment under a nonqualified Contract is generally treated as a non-taxable return of premium.  The balance of each income payment is taxable as ordinary income.  The amounts of the taxable and non-taxable portions of each income payment are determined based on the amount of the investment in the Contract and the length of the period over which income payments are to be made.  Income payments received after all of your investment in the Contract is recovered are fully taxable as ordinary income.  Additional information is provided in the SAI.
 
The Code also imposes a 10% penalty on certain taxable amounts received under a non-qualified Contract.  This penalty tax will not apply to any amounts:  (1) paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2; (2) paid to a beneficiary after you die; (3) paid if the recipient becomes totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); (4) paid in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually (or more frequently) for life (or life expectancy) or a period not exceeding the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the recipient and a beneficiary; (5) paid under an immediate annuity; or (6) which come from premiums made prior to August 14, 1982.
 
Beginning in 2013, the taxable portion of distributions from a non-qualified annuity Contract will be considered investment income for purposes of the new Medicare tax on investment income.  As a result, a 3.8% tax will generally apply to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts.  For 2013, these levels are $200,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $250,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $125,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately.  Owners should consult their own tax advisers for more information.
 
 
159

 
 
Non-Qualified Contracts Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires any nonqualified contract issued after January 18, 1985 to provide that (a) if an owner dies on or after the annuity starting date but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of that owner’s death; and (b) if an owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed within five years after the date of the owner’s death.
 
The requirements of (b) above can be considered satisfied if any portion of the Owner’s interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a “designated beneficiary” is distributed over the life of such beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary and such distributions begin within one year of that Owner’s death.  The Owner’s “designated beneficiary,” who must be a natural person, is the person designated by such Owner as a beneficiary and to whom ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death.  However, if the Owner’s “designated beneficiary” is the surviving spouse of the Owner, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner.
 
Tax-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments. The Code imposes limits on loans, withdrawals, and income payments under tax-qualified Contracts.  The Code also imposes required minimum distribution for tax-qualified Contracts and a 10% penalty on certain taxable amounts received prematurely under a tax-qualified Contract.  These limits, required minimum distributions, tax penalties and the tax computation rules are summarized in the SAI.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, will be taxable except to the extent they are allocable to an investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions).  In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified Contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.
 
Withdrawals – Tax-Sheltered Annuities. The Code limits the withdrawal of amounts attributable to purchase payments made under a salary reduction agreement from Tax-Sheltered Annuities.  Withdrawals can only be made when an Owner:  (1) reaches age 59 1/2; (2) leaves his/her job; (3) dies; (4) becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); or (5) in the case of hardship.  However, in the case of hardship, the Owner can only withdraw the premium and not any earnings.
 
Withdrawals – Roth IRAs. Subject to certain limitations, individuals may also purchase a new type of non-deductible IRA annuity, known as a Roth IRA annuity.  Qualified distributions from Roth IRA annuities are entirely federal income tax free.  A qualified distribution requires that the individual has held the Roth IRA annuity for at least five years and, in addition, that the distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on account of the individual’s death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home purchase, subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual or for a spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor.
 
Constructive Withdrawals – Investment Adviser Fees. Withdrawals from non-qualified Contracts for the payment of investment adviser fees will be considered taxable distributions from the Contract.  In a series of Private Letter Rulings, however, the Internal Revenue Service has held that the payment of investment adviser fees from a tax-qualified Contract need not be considered a distribution for income tax purposes.  Under the facts in these Rulings:  (i) there was a written agreement providing for payments of the fees solely from the annuity Contract, (ii) the Contract Owner had no liability for the fees, and (iii) the fees were paid solely from the annuity Contract to the adviser.
 
Extension of Latest Income Date. If you do not annuitize your non-qualified Contract on or before the latest income date, it is possible that the IRS could challenge the status of your Contract as an annuity Contract for tax purposes.  The result of such a challenge could be that you would be viewed as either constructively receiving the increase in the Contract Value each year from the inception of the Contract or the entire increase in the Contract Value would be taxable in the year of your Latest Income Date.  In either situation, you could realize taxable income even if the Contract proceeds are not distributed to you at that time.  Accordingly, before purchasing a Contract, you should consult your tax advisor with respect to these issues.
 
Death Benefits. None of the death benefits paid under the Contract to the beneficiary will be tax-exempt life insurance benefits.  The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity Contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments.  Estate or gift taxes may also apply.
 
IRS Approval.  The Contract, and all riders attached thereto, have been approved by the IRS for use as an Individual Retirement Annuity prototype.
 
Assignment. An assignment of a Contract will generally be a taxable event.  Assignments of a tax-qualified Contract may also be limited by the Code and ERISA.  These limits are summarized in the SAI.  You should consult your tax adviser prior to making any assignment of a Contract.
 
 
160

 
 
Diversification. The Code provides that the underlying investments for a non-qualified variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an annuity Contract.  Jackson believes that the underlying investments are being managed so as to comply with these requirements.  A fuller discussion of the diversification requirements is contained in the SAI.
 
Owner Control. In a Revenue Ruling issued in 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the contract owners could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under these variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the contract owners to be treated as the owners of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets.  Under the Contract, like the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, there will be no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between the contract owner and Jackson regarding the availability of a particular investment option and other than the contract owner’s right to allocate premiums and transfer Funds among the available sub-accounts, all investment decisions concerning the sub-accounts will be made by the insurance company or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.
 
The Contract will differ from the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, in two respects.  The first difference is that the contract in the Revenue Ruling provided only 12 investment options with the insurance company having the ability to add an additional 7 options whereas a Contract currently offers 103 Investment Divisions and at least one guaranteed fixed account, although a Contract Owner can select no more than 18 Allocation Options at any one time.  The second difference is that the owner of a contract in the Revenue Ruling could only make one transfer per 30-day period without a fee whereas during the accumulation phase, a Contract Owner will be permitted to make up to 15 transfers in any one year without a charge.
 
The Revenue Ruling states that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.  Jackson does not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling with respect to the number of investment choices and the number of investment transfers that can be made under the contract without an additional charge should prevent the holding in the Revenue Ruling from applying to the owner of a Contract.  At this time, however, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance.  We reserve the right to modify the Contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment.
 
Withholding.  In general, the income portion of distributions from a Contract are subject to 10% federal income tax and the income portion of income payments are subject to withholding at the same rate as wages withholding unless you elect not to have tax withheld.  Some states have enacted similar rules.  Different rules may apply to payments delivered outside the United States.
 
Eligible rollover distributions from a Contract issued under certain types of tax-qualified plans will be subject to federal tax withholding at a mandatory 20% rate unless the distribution is made as a direct rollover to a tax-qualified plan or to an individual retirement account or annuity.
 
The Code generally allows the rollover of most distributions to and from tax-qualified plans, tax-sheltered annuities, Individual Retirement Annuities and eligible deferred compensation plans of state or local governments.  Distributions which may not be rolled over are those which are:
 
 
(a)
one of a series of substantially equal annual (or more frequent) payments made (a) over the life or life expectancy of the employee, (b) the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the employee and the employee’s beneficiary, or (c) for a specified period of ten years or more;
 
 
(b)
a required minimum distribution; or
 
 
(c)
a hardship withdrawal.
 
 
We will pay company income taxes on the taxable corporate earnings created by this separate account product adjusted for various permissible deductions and certain tax benefits discussed below.  While we may consider company income tax liabilities and tax benefits when pricing our products, we do not currently include our income tax liabilities in the charges you pay under the contract.  We will periodically review the issue of charging for these taxes and may impose a charge in the future.  (We do impose a so-called “Federal (DAC) Tax Charge” under variable life insurance policies, but the “Federal (DAC) Tax Charge” merely compensates us for the required deferral of acquisition cost and does not constitute company income taxes.)
 
In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including separate account assets that are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law.  These benefits reduce our overall corporate income tax liability.  Under current law, such benefits may include dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits which can be material.  We do not pass these benefits through to the separate accounts, principally because:  (i) the great bulk of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends
 
 
161

 
that the separate account receives; (ii) product Owners are not the owners of the assets generating the benefits under applicable income tax law; and (iii), while we impose a so-called “Federal (DAC) tax charge” under variable life insurance policies, we do not currently include company income taxes in the charges Owners pay under the products.
 
 
Dollar Cost Averaging. You can arrange to have a regular amount of money periodically transferred automatically into the Investment Divisions and other guaranteed fixed accounts from the one-year guaranteed fixed account or any of the other Investment Divisions.  This theoretically gives you a lower average cost per unit for the Investment Divisions over time than you would receive if you made a one-time purchase.  The more volatile Investment Divisions may not result in lower average costs, and such divisions may not be an appropriate source of dollar cost averaging transfers in volatile markets.  Certain restrictions may apply.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging Plus (DCA+). The DCA+ account is a “source account” designed for Dollar-Cost Averaging.  The DCA+ account is credited with an enhanced interest rate.  If a DCA+ account is selected, monies in the DCA+ fixed account will be systematically transferred to the Investment Divisions or other guaranteed fixed accounts chosen over the DCA+ term selected.
 
Earnings Sweep. You can choose to move your earnings from the source accounts (only applicable from the 1-year guaranteed fixed account and the JNL/WMC Money Market Fund).  There is no charge for Earnings Sweep.
 
Rebalancing. You can arrange to have Jackson automatically reallocate your Contract Value among Investment Divisions and the guaranteed fixed account periodically to maintain your selected allocation percentages.  Rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing Investment Divisions.
 
Free Look. You may return your Contract to the selling agent or Jackson within 20 days after receiving it.  Jackson will return the Contract Value in the Investment Divisions plus any fees and expenses deducted from the premiums allocated to the Investment Divisions plus the full amount of premiums allocated to the guaranteed fixed account and the GMWB Fixed Account.  We will determine the Contract Value in the Investment Divisions as of the date we receive the Contract (subject to state variations).  Jackson will return premium payments where required by law.  In some states, we are required to hold the premiums of a senior citizen in a Fixed Account during the free look period, unless we are specifically directed to allocate the premiums to the Investment Divisions.  State laws vary; your free look rights will depend on the laws of the state in which you purchased the Contract.
 
Advertising. From time to time, Jackson may advertise several types of performance for the Investment Divisions.
 
 
Total return is the overall change in the value of an investment in an Investment Division over a given period of time.
 
 
Standardized average annual total return is calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines.
 
 
Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return.  For example, if a Fund has been in existence longer than the Investment Division, we may show non-standardized performance for periods that begin on the inception date of the series, rather than the inception date of the Investment Division.
 
 
Yield refers to the income generated by an investment over a given period of time.
 
Performance will be calculated by determining the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period.  Performance will reflect the deduction of the insurance charges and may reflect the deduction of the annual contract maintenance charge and withdrawal charge.  The deduction of the Contract maintenance and/or the withdrawal charge would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.
 
Restrictions Under the Texas Optional Retirement Program (ORP). Contracts issued to participants in ORP contain restrictions required under the Texas Administrative Code.  In accordance with those restrictions, a participant in ORP will not be permitted to make withdrawals prior to such participant’s retirement, death, attainment of age 70 1/2 or termination of employment in a Texas public institution of higher education.  The restrictions on withdrawal do not apply in the event a participant in ORP transfers the Contract Value to another approved Contract or vendor during the period of ORP participation.  These requirements will apply to any other jurisdiction with comparable requirements.
 
 
162

 
 
Modification of the Contract. Only the President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of Jackson may approve a change to or waive a provision of the Contract.  Any change or waiver must be in writing.  Jackson may change the terms of the Contract in order to comply with changes in applicable law, or otherwise as deemed necessary by Jackson.
 
Confirmation of Transactions. We will send you a written statement confirming that a financial transaction, such as a premium payment, withdrawal, or transfer has been completed.  This confirmation statement will provide details about the transaction.  Certain transactions which are made on a periodic or systematic basis will be confirmed in a quarterly statement only.
 
It is important that you carefully review the information contained in the statements that confirm your transactions.  If you believe an error has occurred you must notify us in writing within 30 days of receipt of the statement so we can make any appropriate adjustments.  If we do not receive notice of any such potential error, we may not be responsible for correcting the error.
 
Legal Proceedings.  Jackson and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of civil proceedings, including class actions, arising in the ordinary course of business. These include civil litigation proceedings, which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers, including a modal premium case, alleging misconduct in the sale of insurance products. We do not believe at the present time that any pending action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account, Jackson’s ability to meet its obligations under the Contracts, or Jackson National Life Distributors LLC’s ability to perform its contract with the Separate Account.

The underlying funds of the JNL/S&P 4 Fund are co-sub-advised by SPIAS. SPIAS does not co-sub-advise the JNL/S&P 4 Fund.

Standard & Poor’s  Financial Services LLC, SPIAS, and their affiliates (collectively S&P), and any third-party providers, as well as their directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents (collectively with S&P,  S&P Parties) do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, adequacy or timeliness of any information, including ratings and valuations, and are not responsible for errors and omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of such information, and S&P Parties shall have no liability for any errors, omission, or interruptions therein

(negligent or otherwise), regardless of the cause, or for the results obtained from the use of such information. S&P PARTIES DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. In no event shall S&P Parties be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, compensatory, punitive, special or consequential damages, costs, expenses, legal fees, or losses (including, without limitation, lost income or lost profits and opportunity costs or losses caused by negligence) in connection with any use of the information contained in this document even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
 
S&P’s credit ratings are statements of opinion as of the date they are expressed and not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell any securities or to make any investment decisions.  S&P credit ratings should not be relied on when making any investment or other business decision.  S&P’s opinions and analyses do not address the suitability of any security.  S&P does not act as a fiduciary or an investment advisor, except where registered as such. While S&P has obtained information from sources they believe to be reliable, S&P does not perform an audit and undertakes no duty of due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives.
 
To the extent that regulatory authorities allow a rating agency to acknowledge in one jurisdiction a rating issued in another jurisdiction for certain regulatory purposes, S&P reserves the right to assign, withdraw or suspend such acknowledgement at any time and in its sole discretion. S&P Parties disclaim any duty whatsoever arising out of the assignment, withdrawal or suspension of an acknowledgment as well as any liability for any damage alleged to have been suffered on account thereof.
 
S&P keeps certain activities of its business units separate from each other in order to preserve the independence and objectivity of their respective activities. As a result, certain business units of S&P may have information that is not available to other S&P business units. S&P has established policies and procedures to maintain the confidentiality of certain non-public information received in connection with each analytical process.
 
S&P may receive compensation for its ratings and certain analyses, normally from issuers or underwriters of securities or from obligors. S&P reserves the right to disseminate its opinions and analyses. S&Ps public ratings and analyses are made available on its Web sites, www.standardandpoors.com (free of charge), and www.ratingsdirect.com and www.globalcreditportal.com (subscription), and may be distributed through other means, including via S&P publications and third party redistributors. Additional information about our ratings fees is available at www.standardandpoors.com/usratingsfees.
 
Based on a universe of funds provided to SPIAS, SPIAS may recommend for investment certain funds to which S&P licenses certain intellectual property or otherwise has a financial interest, including exchange-traded funds whose investment objective is to substantially replicate the returns of a proprietary index of S&P Dow Jones Indices, such as the S&P 500. SPIAS recommends these funds for investment based on asset allocation, sector representation, liquidity and other factors; however, SPIAS has a potential conflict of interest with respect to the inclusion of these funds.  In cases where S&P is paid fees that are tied to the amount of assets that are invested in the fund, investment in the fund will generally result in S&P earning compensation in addition to the fees received by SPIAS in connection with its provision of services.  In certain cases there may be alternative funds that are available for investment that will provide investors substantially similar exposure to the asset class or sector.
 
S&P provides a wide range of services to, or relating to, many organizations, including issuers of securities, investment advisers, broker-dealers, investment banks, other financial institutions and financial intermediaries, and accordingly may receive fees or other economic benefits from those organizations, including organizations whose securities or services they may recommend, rate, include in model portfolios, evaluate or otherwise address.
 
SPIAS may consider research and other information from affiliates in making its investment recommendations. The investment policies of certain portfolios specifically state that among the information SPIAS will consider in evaluating a security are the credit ratings assigned by S&P.  SPIAS does not consider the ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies. Credit rating criteria and scales may differ among credit rating agencies. Ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies may reflect more or less favorable opinions of creditworthiness than ratings assigned by S&P.

APPENDIX C
 
GMWB PROSPECTUS EXAMPLES
 
Unless otherwise specified, the following examples assume you elected a GMWB with a 5% benefit when you purchased your Contract, no other optional benefits were elected, your initial premium payment was $100,000, your GAWA is greater than your RMD (if applicable) at the time a withdrawal is requested, all partial withdrawals requested include any applicable charges, no prior partial withdrawals have been made, and the bonus percentage (if applicable) is 7%.  The examples also assume that the GMWB and any For Life Guarantee have not been terminated as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus.  If you elected a GMWB other than a GMWB with a 5% benefit, the examples will still apply, given that you replace the 5% in each of the GAWA calculations with the appropriate GAWA%.  If you elected a GMWB with a bonus percentage other than 7%, the examples will still apply if you replace the 7% in each of the bonus calculations with the appropriate bonus percentage.
 
Example 1: At election, your GWB is set and your GAWA is determined based on that value.
         
 
Example 1a: If the GMWB is elected at issue:
   
Your initial GWB is $100,000, which is your initial Premium payment.
   
Your GAWA is $5,000, which is 5% of your initial GWB ($100,000*0.05 = $5,000).
         
 
Example 1b: If the GMWB is elected after issue or you convert to another GMWB, if permitted, when the Contract Value is $105,000 at the time the GMWB is elected or converted:
   
Your initial GWB is $105,000, which is your Contract Value on the effective date of the endorsement.  If you converted your GMWB when the GWB for your former GMWB was $120,000 and the Contract Value declined to $105,000 prior to the conversion date, the conversion to the new GMWB would result in a $15,000 reduction in the GWB.
   
Your GAWA is $5,250, which is 5% of your initial GWB ($105,000*0.05 = $5,250).
       
 
Notes:
   
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage:
     
-
Your GAWA% and GAWA are not determined until the earlier of the time of your first withdrawal, the date that your Contract Value reduces to zero, the date that the GMWB is continued by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, or upon election of a GMWB Income Option.
     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your initial Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB) is set equal to your initial Premium payment if the endorsement is elected at issue or your Contract Value if the endorsement is elected after issuance of the Contract.
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base is set equal to your GWB at the time of election.
   
If your endorsement includes a 200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your initial 200% GWB adjustment is set equal to 200% times your initial GWB.
   
If your endorsement includes a 400% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your initial 400% GWB adjustment is set equal to 400% times your initial GWB.
   
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your initial GMWB death benefit is set equal to your initial GWB.
 
Example 2: If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage, your GAWA% is determined on the earlier of the time of your first withdrawal, the date that your Contract Value reduces to zero, the date that the GMWB is continued by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, or upon election of the Life Income of a GMWB Income Option.  Your GAWA% is set based upon your attained age at that time.  Your initial GAWA is determined based on this GAWA% and the GWB at that time.
     
 
If, at the time the GAWA% is determined, your GAWA% is 5% based on your attained age and your GWB is $100,000, your initial GAWA is $5,000, which is your GAWA% multiplied by your GWB at that time ($100,000 * 0.05 = $5,000).
 
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your GAWA% will be re-determined based on your attained age if your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of a step-up is greater than the BDB.

 
C-1

 
 
Example 3: Upon payment of a subsequent Premium, your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.  Your GWB is subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
         
 
Example 3a: If you make an additional Premium payment of $50,000 and your GWB is $100,000 at the time of payment:
   
Your new GWB is $150,000, which is your GWB prior to the additional Premium payment ($100,000) plus your additional Premium payment ($50,000).
   
Your GAWA is $7,500, which is your GAWA prior to the additional Premium payment ($5,000) plus 5% of your additional Premium payment ($50,000*0.05 = $2,500).
       
 
Example 3b: If you make an additional Premium payment of $100,000 and your GWB is $4,950,000 and your GAWA is $247,500 at the time of payment:
   
Your new GWB is $5,000,000, which is the maximum, since your GWB prior to the additional Premium payment ($4,950,000) plus your additional Premium payment ($100,000) exceeds the maximum of $5,000,000.
   
Your GAWA is $250,000, which is your GAWA prior to the additional Premium payment ($247,500) plus 5% of the allowable $50,000 increase in your GWB (($5,000,000 - $4,950,000)*0.05 = $2,500).
       
 
Notes:
   
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage:
     
-
Your GAWA is recalculated upon payment of an additional Premium (as described above) only if such payment occurs after your GAWA% has been determined.
     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB is increased by the Premium payment.
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base is increased by the Premium payment, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000
   
If your endorsement includes a 200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision:
     
-
If the Premium payment occurs prior to the first Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, your 200% GWB adjustment is increased by the Premium payment times 200%, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  For example, if, as in Example 3a, you make an additional Premium payment of $50,000 prior to your first Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, and your 200% GWB adjustment value before the additional Premium payment is $200,000, then the 200% GWB adjustment is increased by 200% of the additional premium payment.  The resulting 200% GWB adjustment is $200,000 + $100,000 = $300,000.
     
-
If the Premium payment occurs on or after the first Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, your 200% GWB adjustment is increased by the Premium payment, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  For example, if you make an additional Premium payment of $50,000 after your first Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, and your 200% GWB adjustment value before the additional Premium payment is $200,000, then the 200% GWB adjustment is increased by 100% of the additional premium payment.  The resulting 200% GWB adjustment is $200,000 + $50,000 = $250,000.
   
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your GMWB death benefit is increased by the Premium payment, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
Example 4: Upon withdrawal of the guaranteed amount (which is the greater of your GAWA or your RMD), your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.
         
 
Example 4a: If you withdraw an amount equal to your GAWA ($5,000) when your GWB is $100,000:
   
Your new GWB is $95,000, which is your GWB prior to the withdrawal ($100,000) less the amount of the withdrawal ($5,000).
   
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since you did not withdraw an amount that exceeds your GAWA.
   
If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($95,000 / $5,000 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
       
 
Example 4b: If you withdraw an amount equal to your RMD ($7,500), which is greater than your GAWA ($5,000) when your GWB is $100,000 and the RMD provision is in effect for your endorsement:
   
Your new GWB is $92,500, which is your GWB prior to the withdrawal ($100,000) less the amount of the withdrawal ($7,500).
   
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since your withdrawal did not exceed the greater of your GAWA ($5,000) or your RMD ($7,500).

 
C-2

 
 
   
If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($92,500 / $5,000 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
       
 
Notes:
   
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB remains unchanged since the BDB is not adjusted for partial withdrawals.
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base remains unchanged since the withdrawal did not exceed the guaranteed amount; however, no bonus will be applied to your GWB at the end of the Contract Year in which the withdrawal is taken.
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision is terminated since a withdrawal is taken.
   
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your GMWB death benefit is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal since the withdrawal did not exceed the greater of the GAWA or the RMD.
   
If your endorsement does not include a For Life Guarantee or if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your new GWB.
   
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract.  In the case where your minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, your death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.
 
Example 5: Upon withdrawal of an amount that exceeds your guaranteed amount (as defined in Example 4), your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.
         
 
Example 5a: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $130,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
   
Your GWB is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected and the effective date of the endorsement.
     
-
If your endorsement contains an annual Step-Up provision and is effective on or after 03/31/2008, your new GWB is $91,200, which is your GWB reduced dollar for dollar for your GAWA, then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [($100,000 - $5,000)*(1 – ($10,000 - $5,000) / ($130,000 - $5,000)) = $91,200].
     
-
Otherwise, your new GWB is $90,000, which is the lesser of 1) your GWB prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000) or 2) your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($130,000 - $10,000 = $120,000)
   
Your GAWA is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected and the effective date of the endorsement.  In addition, if you have elected a For Life GMWB, your For Life Guarantee may be impacted depending on the effective date of the endorsement.
     
-
If your endorsement contains an annual Step-Up provision and is effective on or after 03/31/2008, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,800, which is your current GAWA reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [$5,000 * (1 - ($10,000 - $5,000) / ($130,000 - $5,000)) = $4,800].  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($91,200 / $4,800 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
     
-
Otherwise, if your endorsement is not a For Life GMWB and is effective prior to 05/01/2006 or if your endorsement is not a For Life GMWB, your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since it is recalculated to equal the lesser of 1) your GAWA prior to the withdrawal ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your Contract Value after the withdrawal ($120,000*0.05 = $6,000).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 18 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $5,000 per year = 18 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
     
-
Otherwise, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,500, which is 5% of your new GWB ($90,000*0.05 = $4,500).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $4,500 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the

withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
         
 
Example 5b: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $105,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
   
Your GWB is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected and the effective date of the endorsement.
     
-
If your endorsement contains an annual Step-Up provision and is effective on or after 03/31/2008, your new GWB is $90,250, which is your GWB reduced dollar for dollar for your GAWA, then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [($100,000 - $5,000)*(1 - ($10,000 - $5,000) / ($105,000 - $5,000)) = $90,250].
     
-
Otherwise, your new GWB is $90,000, which is the lesser of 1) your GWB prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000) or 2) your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($105,000 - $10,000 = $95,000).
   
Your GAWA is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected and the effective date of the endorsement.  In addition, if you have elected a For Life GMWB, your For Life Guarantee may be impacted depending on the effective date of the endorsement.

If your endorsement contains an annual Step-Up provision and is effective on or after 03/31/2008, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,750, which is your current GAWA reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [$5,000 * (1 - ($10,000 - $5,000)/($105,000 - $5,000)) = $4,750].  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($90,250 / $4,750 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
     
-
Otherwise, if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB and is effective prior to 05/01/2006 or if your endorsement is not a For Life GMWB, your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $4,750, which is the lesser of 1) your GAWA prior to the withdrawal ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your Contract Value after the withdrawal ($95,000*0.05 = $4,750).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $4,750 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date, and the amount of your final withdrawal would be less than your GAWA (and equal to your remaining GWB).  In addition, if you have elected a For Life GMWB, your For Life Guarantee becomes null and void since the amount of the withdrawal exceeds your GAWA.
     
-
Otherwise, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,500, which is 5% of your new GWB ($90,000*0.05 = $4,500.  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $4,500 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
         
 
Example 5c: If you withdraw an amount ($10,000) that exceeds your GAWA ($5,000) when your Contract Value is $55,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
   
Your GWB is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected and the effective date of the endorsement.
     
-
If your endorsement contains an annual Step-Up provision and is effective on or after 03/31/2008, your new GWB is $85,500, which is your GWB reduced dollar for dollar for your GAWA, then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [($100,000 - $5,000) * (1 - ($10,000 - $5,000) / ($55,000 - $5,000)) = $85,500].
     
-
Otherwise, your new GWB is $45,000, which is the lesser of 1) your GWB prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000) or 2) your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($55,000 - $10,000 = $45,000).
   
Your GAWA is recalculated based on the type of endorsement you have elected and/or the effective date of the endorsement.  In addition, if you have elected a For Life GMWB, your For Life Guarantee may be impacted depending on the effective date of the endorsement.

-
If your endorsement contains an annual Step-Up provision and is effective on or after 03/31/2008, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $4,500, which is your current GAWA reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the portion of the withdrawal that is in excess of the GAWA [$5,000*(1-($10,000-$5,000)/($55,000 - $5,000))=$4,500].  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($85,500 / $4,500 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
     
-
Otherwise, if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB and is effective prior to 05/01/2006 or if your endorsement is not a For Life GMWB, your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $2,250, which is the lesser of 1) your GAWA prior to the withdrawal ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your Contract Value after the withdrawal ($45,000*0.05 = $2,250).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($45,000 / $2,250 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  In addition, if you have elected a For Life GMWB, your For Life Guarantee becomes null and void since the amount of the withdrawal exceeds your GAWA.
     
-
Otherwise, your GAWA is recalculated to equal $2,250, which is 5% of your new GWB ($45,000*0.05 = $2,250).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($45,000 / $2,250 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if your For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
         
 
Notes:
   
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage and allows for re-determination of your GAWA%, your BDB remains unchanged since the BDB is not adjusted for partial withdrawals.
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base is recalculated to equal the lesser of 1) your bonus base prior to the withdrawal or 2) your GWB following the withdrawal.  In addition, no bonus will be applied to your GWB at the end of the Contract Year in which the withdrawal is taken.
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision is terminated since a withdrawal is taken.
   
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your GMWB death benefit is reduced in the same manner that the GWB is reduced; it is first reduced dollar for dollar for the GAWA and then is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced for the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the GAWA.
   
If your endorsement does not include a For Life Guarantee or if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
   
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract.  In the case where your minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, your death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.
 
Example 6: Upon step-up, your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.  (This example only applies if your endorsement contains a Step-Up provision.)
         
 
Example 6a: If at the time of step-up your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is $200,000, your GWB is $90,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $200,000, which is equal to your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable).
   
If your GAWA% is not eligible for re-determination, your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $10,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($200,000*0.05 = $10,000).
     
-
After step-up, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($200,000 / $10,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered

Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
   
However, if your GAWA% is eligible for re-determination and the step-up occurs after the initial determination of your GAWA%, the GAWA% will be re-determined based on your attained age (or the youngest Covered Lifes attained age if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option) if your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of the step-up is greater than your BDB.
     
-
If, in the example above, your BDB is $100,000 and the GAWA% at the applicable attained age is 6%:
     
 
Your GAWA% is set to 6%, since your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable)($200,000) is greater than your BDB ($100,000).
     
 
Your GAWA is equal to $12,000, which is your new GWB multiplied by your new GAWA% ($200,000 * 0.06 = $12,000).
     
 
Your BDB is recalculated to equal $200,000, which is the greater of 1) your BDB prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of step-up ($200,000).
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision your bonus base is $100,000 just prior to the step-up, your bonus base is recalculated to equal $200,000, which is the greater of 1) your bonus base prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your GWB following the step-up ($200,000).
     
-
If your endorsement allows for the Bonus Period to re-start and you have not passed your Contract Anniversary immediately following your 80th birthday (or the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), your Bonus Period will re-start since your bonus base has been increased due to the step-up.
         
 
Example 6b: If at the time of step-up your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is $90,000, your GWB is $80,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $90,000, which is equal to your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable).
   
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($90,000*0.05 = $4,500).
     
-
After step-up, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 18 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $5,000 per year = 18 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 18 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
   
If your GAWA% is eligible for re-determination and the step-up occurs after the initial determination of your GAWA%, the GAWA% will be re-determined based on your attained age (or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option) if your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is greater than your BDB.  However, in this case, it is assumed that your initial Premium is $100,000.  Your BDB would not be less than $100,000, implying that this would not be an opportunity for a re-determination of the GAWA%.  In addition, if your BDB is $100,000 prior to the step-up, your BDB remains $100,000, which is the greater of 1) your BDB prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of step-up ($90,000).
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and your bonus base is $100,000 just prior to the step-up, your bonus base remains $100,000, which is the greater of 1) your bonus base prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your GWB following the step-up ($90,000).
     
-
Even if your endorsement allows for the Bonus Period to re-start, your Bonus Period will not re-start since your bonus base has not been increased due to the step-up.
         
 
Notes:
   
Your endorsement may contain a provision allowing the Company to increase the GMWB charge upon step-up.  If the charge does increase, a separate calculation would be recommended to establish if the step-up is beneficial.
   
If your endorsement contains a provision for automatic step-ups, your GWB will only step up to the Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) if the Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is greater than your GWB at the time of the automatic step-up.
   
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and a provision for automatic step-ups, your bonus base will be re-determined only if your GWB is increased upon step-up to a value above your bonus base just prior to the step-up.
   
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage, your GAWA is recalculated upon step-up (as described above) only if the step-up occurs after your GAWA% has been determined.
   
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your GWB adjustment remains unchanged since step-ups do not impact the GWB adjustment.

 
C-6

 
 
   
If your endorsement contains a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your GMWB death benefit remains unchanged since step-ups do not impact the GMWB death benefit.
   
If your endorsement bases step-ups on the highest quarterly Contract Value, the highest quarterly Contract Value is equal to the greatest of the four most recent quarterly adjusted Contract Values.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Values are initialized on each Contract Quarterly Anniversary and are adjusted for any premiums and/or withdrawals subsequent to the initialization in the same manner as the GWB.
 
Example 7: Impact of the order of transactions.  (This example only applies if your endorsement contains a Step-Up provision.)
           
 
Example 7a: If prior to any transactions your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is $200,000, your GAWA is $5,000, your GAWA% is not eligible for re-determination upon step-up, your GWB is $100,000 and you wish to step up your GWB (or your GWB is due to step up automatically) and you also wish to take a withdrawal of an amount equal to $5,000:
   
If you request the withdrawal the day after the step-up, upon step-up, your GWB is set equal to $200,000, which is your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable).  At that time, your GAWA is recalculated and is equal to $10,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($200,000*0.05 = $10,000).  On the day following the step-up and after the withdrawal of $5,000, your new GWB is $195,000, which is your GWB less the amount of the withdrawal ($200,000 - $5,000 = $195,000) and your GAWA will remain at $10,000 since the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed your GAWA.  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($195,000 / $10,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
     
-
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and your bonus base is $100,000 just prior to the step-up, at the time of step-up, your bonus base is recalculated and is equal to $200,000, which is the greater of 1) your bonus base prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your GWB following the step-up ($200,000).  Your bonus base is not adjusted upon withdrawal since the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed your GAWA.
       
-
If your endorsement allows for the Bonus Period to re-start and you have not passed the Contract Anniversary immediately following your 80th birthday (or the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), your Bonus Period will re-start since your bonus base has been increased due to the step-up.
     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA% and your BDB is $100,000 just prior to the step-up, then at the time of step-up, your BDB is recalculated and is equal to $200,000, which is the greater of 1) your BDB prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of step-up ($200,000).  Your BDB is not adjusted upon withdrawal since the BDB is not reduced for partial withdrawals.
   
If you request the withdrawal prior to the step-up, immediately following the withdrawal transaction, your new GWB is $95,000, which is your GWB less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000) and your Contract Value becomes $195,000, which is your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($200,000 - $5,000 = $195,000).  Upon step-up following the withdrawal, your GWB is set equal to $195,000, which is your Contract Value.  At that time, your GAWA is recalculated and is equal to $9,750, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($195,000*0.05 = $9,750).  If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($195,000 / $9,750 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.  However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
     
-
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and your bonus base is $100,000 just prior to the withdrawal, then at the time of the withdrawal, your bonus base is not adjusted since the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed your GAWA.  At the time of step-up, your bonus base is recalculated and is equal to $195,000, which is the greater of 1) your bonus base prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your GWB following the step-up ($195,000).
       
-
If your endorsement allows for the Bonus Period to re-start and you have not passed the Contract Anniversary immediately following your 80th birthday (or the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), your Bonus Period will re-start since your bonus base has been increased due to the step-up.

 
C-7

 

     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA% and your BDB is $100,000 just prior to the withdrawal, then at the time of the withdrawal, your BDB is not adjusted since the BDB is not reduced for partial withdrawals. At the time of step-up, your BDB is recalculated and is equal to $195,000, which is the greater of 1) your BDB prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of step-up ($195,000).
         
 
Notes:
   
As the example illustrates, when considering a request for a withdrawal at or near the same time as the election or automatic application of a step-up, the order of the transactions may impact your GAWA.
     
-
If the step-up would result in an increase in your GAWA and the requested withdrawal is less than or equal to your new GAWA, your GAWA resulting after the two transactions would be greater if the withdrawal is requested after the step-up is applied. This is especially true if your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA% and the step-up would result in a re-determination of the GAWA%.
     
-
If your endorsement contains an annual Step-Up provision and is effective on or after 12/03/2007, the step-up would result in an increase in your GAWA, and the withdrawal requested is greater than your new GAWA, your GAWA resulting after the two transactions would be greater if the withdrawal is requested after the step-up is applied.
     
-
Otherwise, your GAWA resulting from the transactions is the same regardless of the order of transactions.
   
This example would also apply in situations when the withdrawal exceeded your GAWA but not your permissible RMD.
   
Your endorsement may contain a provision allowing the Company to increase the GMWB charge upon step-up.
   
If your endorsement contains a provision for automatic step-ups, your GWB will only step up to the Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) if the Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is greater than your GWB at the time of the automatic step-up.
   
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and a provision for automatic step-ups, your bonus base will be re-determined only if your GWB is increased upon step-up to a value above your bonus base just prior to the step-up.
   
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage, the GAWA% is determined at the time of the withdrawal (if not previously determined).
     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, the GAWA% is re-determined upon step-up if your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is greater than your BDB.
   
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision is terminated at the time of the withdrawal.
   
If your endorsement contains a GMWB Death Benefit provision, the GMWB death benefit would not be adjusted for the step-up since step-ups do not impact the GMWB death benefit, but your GMWB death benefit may be reduced for the withdrawal.
   
If your endorsement bases step-ups on the highest quarterly Contract Value, the highest quarterly Contract Value is equal to the greatest of the four most recent quarterly adjusted Contract Values. The quarterly adjusted Contract Values are initialized on each Contract Quarterly Anniversary and are adjusted for any premiums and/or withdrawals subsequent to the initialization in the same manner as the GWB.
   
If your endorsement does not include a For Life Guarantee or if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
   
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract. In the case where a minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, the death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.
 
Example 8: Upon application of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus, your GWB and GAWA are re-determined. (This example only applies during the Bonus Period if your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision.)
     
 
Example 8a: If at the end of a Contract Year in which you have taken no withdrawals, your GWB is $100,000, your bonus base is $100,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $107,000, which is equal to your GWB plus 7% of your bonus base ($100,000 + $100,000*0.07 = $107,000).
   
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $5,350, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the application of the bonus ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($107,000*0.05 = $5,350).
   
After the application of the bonus, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($107,000 / $5,350 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
 
 
C-8

 
 
 
Example 8b: If at the end of a Contract Year in which you have taken no withdrawals, your GWB is $90,000, your bonus base is $100,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $97,000, which is equal to your GWB plus 7% of your bonus base ($90,000 + $100,000*0.07 = $97,000).
   
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the application of the bonus ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($97,000*0.05 = $4,850).
   
After the application of the bonus, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($97,000 / $5,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
       
 
Notes:
   
Your bonus base is not recalculated upon the application of the bonus to your GWB.
   
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage, your GAWA is recalculated upon the application of the bonus (as described above) only if the application of the bonus occurs after your GAWA% has been determined.
   
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your GWB adjustment remains unchanged since the GWB adjustment is not impacted by the application of the bonus.
   
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your GMWB death benefit remains unchanged since the GMWB death benefit is not impacted by the application of the bonus.
   
If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
   
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB remains unchanged since the BDB is not impacted by the application of the bonus.
 
Example 9: For Life Guarantee becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement. At the time the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, your GAWA is re-determined. (This example only applies if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB that contains a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement.)
       
 
Example 9a: If on the reset date your Contract Value is $30,000, your GWB is $50,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $2,500, which is equal to 5% of the current GWB ($50,000*0.05 = $2,500).
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective, thus allowing you to make annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, it remains in effect until the endorsement is terminated, as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus, or upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse (unless your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option and the spouse continuing the Contract is a Covered Life in which case the For Life Guarantee remains in effect upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse).
       
 
Example 9b: If your Contract Value has fallen to $0 prior to the reset date, your GWB is $50,000 and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
You will continue to receive automatic payments of a total annual amount that equals your GAWA until your GWB is depleted. However, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB. Your GAWA is not recalculated since the Contract Value is $0.
   
The For Life Guarantee does not become effective due to the depletion of the Contract Value prior to the effective date of the For Life Guarantee.
       
 
Example 9c: If on the reset date, your Contract Value is $50,000, your GWB is $0, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $0, which is equal to 5% of the current GWB ($0*0.05 = $0).
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective, thus allowing you to make annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, it remains in effect until the endorsement is terminated, as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus, or upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse (unless your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option and the spouse continuing the Contract is a Covered Life in which case the For Life Guarantee remains in effect upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse).
 
 
C-9

 
 
   
Although your GAWA is $0, upon step-up or subsequent premium payments, your GWB and your GAWA would increase to values greater than $0 and since the For Life Guarantee has become effective, you could withdraw an annual amount equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
       
 
Notes:
   
If your endorsement is effective on or after 03/31/2008, your reset date is the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the date you attain age 59 1/2 (or the date the youngest Covered Life attains, or would have attained, age 59 1/2 if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option). If your endorsement is effective prior to 03/31/2008, your reset date is the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following your 65th birthday (or the youngest Covered Life’s 65th birthday if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option).
 
Example 10: For Life Guarantee on a For Life GMWB with Joint Option. (This example only applies if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option.)
       
 
If at the time of the death of the Owner (or either Joint Owner) the Contract Value is $105,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
   
If your endorsement has a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement, the surviving Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee will remain in effect or become effective on the Contract Anniversary on the reset date. Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, the surviving Covered Life will be able to take annual withdrawals equal to the GAWA for the rest of his or her life, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
   
If your endorsement has a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective on the effective date of the endorsement, the surviving Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee will remain in effect. The GAWA% and the GAWA will continue to be determined or re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age (or the age he or she would have attained). The surviving Covered Life will be able to take annual withdrawals equal to the GAWA for the rest of his or her life, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
   
The surviving spouse who is not a Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee is null and void. However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
   
Your GWB remains $100,000 and your GAWA remains unchanged at the time of continuation.
       
 
Notes:
   
If your endorsement is effective on or after 03/31/2008 and has a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement, your reset date is the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the date that the youngest Covered Life attains (or would have attained) age 59 1/2. If your endorsement is effective prior to 03/31/2008 and has a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement, your reset date is the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 65th birthday.
   
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base remains unchanged at the time of continuation.
   
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB remains unchanged at the time of continuation.
 
Example 11: Upon application of the 200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment, your GWB is re-determined. (This example only applies if your endorsement contains a 200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment or a 400% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision. If your endorsement contains a 400% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, the examples below still apply, given that you replace the 200% in each of the calculations with 400%)
       
 
Example 11a: If on the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, your GWB is $160,000, your 200% GWB adjustment is $200,000, and you have taken no withdrawals on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date:
   
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $200,000, which is the greater of 1) your GWB prior to the application of the 200% GWB adjustment ($160,000) or 2) the 200% GWB adjustment ($200,000).
       
 
Example 11b: If on the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, your GWB is $210,000, your 200% GWB adjustment is $200,000, and you have taken no withdrawals on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date:
   
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $210,000, which is the greater of 1) your GWB prior to the application of the 200% GWB adjustment ($210,000) or 2) the 200% GWB adjustment ($200,000).
       
 
Notes:
   
The 200% GWB adjustment provision is terminated on the 200% GWB Adjustment Date after the 200% GWB adjustment is applied (if any).
 
 
C-10

 
 
   
Since you have taken no withdrawals, your GAWA% and GAWA have not yet been determined, thus no adjustment is made to your GAWA.
   
No adjustment is made to your bonus base since the bonus base is not impacted by the 200% GWB adjustment.
   
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, no adjustment is made to your BDB since the BDB is not impacted by the 200% GWB Adjustment.
   
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, no adjustment is made to your GMWB death benefit since the GMWB death benefit is not impacted by the 200% GWB adjustment.
 
Example 12: On each Contract Monthly Anniversary, funds are transferred to or from the GMWB Fixed Account via the formulas defined in the Transfer of Assets Methodology in Appendix D. The annuity factors referenced in this example are also found in Appendix D. (This example only applies if your endorsement contains a Transfer of Assets provision.)
       
 
Example 12a: If on your first Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 15.26, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, your Separate Account Contract Value is $95,000, and your Fixed Account Contract Value is $5,000:
   
Your liability is equal to $91,560, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 15.26 = $91,560).
   
The ratio is equal to 91.56%, which is the liability (net of the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value) divided by the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value [($91,560 - $0) / ($95,000 + $5,000) = 91.56%].
   
Since the ratio (91.56%) is greater than the upper breakpoint (83%), funds are transferred from the Investment Divisions and the guaranteed fixed accounts to the GMWB Fixed Account. The amount of the transfer is equal to $57,800, which is the lesser of 1) the Separate Account Contract Value plus the Fixed Account Contract Value ($95,000 + $5,000 = $100,000) or 2) the liability (net of the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value) less 80% of the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by the difference between one and 80% [($91,560 - $0 - 0.80*($95,000 + $5,000)) / (1 - 0.80) = $57,800].
   
Your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $57,800, which is your previous GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer ($0 + $57,800 = $57,800).
   
Your Separate Account Contract Value is $40,090, which is your previous Separate Account Contract Value less the amount of the transfer multiplied by the ratio of the Separate Account Contract Value to the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value [$95,000 - $57,800 * ($95,000 / ($95,000 + $5,000)) = $40,090].
   
Your Fixed Account Contract Value is $2,110, which is your previous Fixed Account Contract Value less the amount of the transfer multiplied by the ratio of the Fixed Account Contract Value to the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value [$5,000 - $57,800 * ($5,000 / ($95,000 + $5,000)) = $2,110].
       
 
Example 12b: If on your 13th Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 14.83, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $15,000, your Separate Account Contract Value is $90,000, your Fixed Account Contract Value is $10,000, your current allocation percentage to the Investment Divisions is 95%, and your current allocation percentage to the guaranteed fixed accounts is 5%:
   
Your liability is equal to $88,980, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 14.83 = $88,980).
   
The ratio is equal to 73.98%, which is the liability (net of the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value) divided by the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value [($88,980 - $15,000) / ($90,000 + $10,000) = 73.98%].
   
Since the ratio (73.98%) is less than the lower breakpoint (77%), funds are transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account to the Investment Divisions and the guaranteed fixed accounts. The amount of the transfer is equal to $15,000, which is the lesser of 1) the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($15,000) or 2) the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value less the liability plus 80% of the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by the difference between one and 80% [($15,000 - $88,980 + 0.80 * ($90,000 + $10,000)) / (1 - 0.80) = $30,100].
   
Your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, which is your previous GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value less the amount of the transfer ($15,000 - $15,000 = $0).
   
Your Separate Account Contract Value is $104,250, which is your previous Separate Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer multiplied by your current allocation percentage to the Investment Divisions ($90,000 + $15,000 * 0.95 = $104,250).
   
Your Fixed Account Contract Value is $10,750, which is your previous Fixed Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer multiplied by your current allocation percentage to the guaranteed fixed accounts ($10,000 + $15,000 * 0.05 = $10,750).
       
 
Example 12c: If on your 25th Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 14.39, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $100,000, your Separate Account Contract Value is $0, your Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, your current allocation percentage to the Investment Divisions is 95%, and your current allocation percentage to the guaranteed fixed accounts is 5%:
   
Your liability is equal to $86,340, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 14.39 = $86,340).
 
 
C-11

 
 
   
The ratio is not calculated since the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value is equal to zero.
   
Since all funds are allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($100,000) is greater than the liability ($86,340), funds are transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account to the Investment Divisions and the guaranteed fixed accounts. The amount of the transfer is equal to $68,300, which is the lesser of 1) the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($100,000) or 2) the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value less the liability plus 80% of the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by the difference between one and 80% [($100,000 - $86,340 + 0.80 * ($0 + $0)) / (1 - 0.80) = $68,300].
   
Your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $31,700, which is your previous GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value less the amount of the transfer ($100,000 - $68,300 = $31,700).
   
Your Separate Account Contract Value is $64,885, which is your previous Separate Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer multiplied by your current allocation percentage to the Investment Divisions ($0 + $68,300 * 0.95 = $64,885).
   
Your Fixed Account Contract Value is $3,415, which is your previous Fixed Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer multiplied by your current allocation percentage to the guaranteed fixed accounts ($0 + $68,300 * 0.05 = $3,415).
       
 
Notes:
   
If your GAWA had not yet been determined prior to the transfer of assets calculation, the GAWA used in the liability calculation will be based on the GAWA% for your attained age (or the attained age of the youngest Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option) at the time of the calculation multiplied by your GWB at that time.
   
The amount transferred from each Investment Division and guaranteed fixed account to the GMWB Fixed Account will be in proportion to their current value. The amount transferred to each Investment Division and guaranteed fixed account will be based on your most current premium allocation instructions.
   
Funds transferred out of the guaranteed fixed account(s) will be subject to an interest rate adjustment (if applicable).
   
No adjustments are made to the GWB, the GAWA, the bonus base, the GWB adjustment, or the GMWB death benefit as a result of the transfer.
 
 
C-12

 
 
 
LIFEGUARD SELECT GMWB
AND LIFEGUARD SELECT WITH JOINT OPTION
TRANSFER OF ASSETS METHODOLOGY
 
On each Contract Monthly Anniversary, transfers to or from the GMWB Fixed Account will be determined based on the formulas defined below.
 
Liability = GAWA x annuity factor
 
The Liability calculated in the above formula is designed to represent the projected value of this GMWB’s benefits.  If the GAWA% has not yet been determined, the GAWA used in the Liability calculation will be based on the GAWA% corresponding to the Owners (or oldest Joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Liability is calculated, multiplied by the GWB at that time.
 
The tables of annuity factors (as shown below) are set at election of the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB, as applicable, and do not change.
 
Ratio = (Liability – GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value) ÷ (Separate Account Contract Value + Fixed Account Contract Value)
 
If the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value is equal to zero, the Ratio will not be calculated.
 
The transfer amount is determined as follows:
 
If the Ratio is less than the lower breakpoint of 77% or if the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is greater than the Liability and all funds are allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account, the amount transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account is equal to the lesser of:
 
 
1.
The GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value; or
 
2.
(GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value + 80% x (Separate Account Contract Value + Fixed Account Contract Value) – Liability) ÷ (1-80%).
 
If the Ratio is greater than the upper breakpoint of 83%, the amount transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account is equal to the lesser of:
 
 
1.
Separate Account Contract Value + Fixed Account Contract Value; or
 
2.
(Liability – GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value – 80% x (Separate Account Contract Value + Fixed Account Contract Value)) ÷ (1-80%).
 
Otherwise, no funds are transferred.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
 
The tables reflect the accumulation unit values for each Investment Division for the beginning and end of the periods indicated, and the number of accumulation units outstanding as of the end of the periods indicated – for each of a base Contract (with no optional endorsements) and for each Contract with the most expensive combination of optional endorsements (through the end of the most recent period).  The tables do not provide partial year information.  The tables provide accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding only if that information is available throughout the period.  Where accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding are unavailable, either because of a partial year or a Fund not being offered, a “N/A” is provided.
 
This information derives from the financial statements of the Separate Account, which together constitute the Separate Account’s condensed financial information.  The annualized charge for your Contract may fall in between the charge for a base Contract and a Contract with the most expensive combination of optional endorsements, and complete condensed financial information about the Separate Account is available in the SAI.  Contact the Annuity Service Center to request your copy free of charge, and contact information is on the cover page of the prospectus.  Also, please ask about the more timely accumulation unit values that are available for each Investment Division.
 
Set forth below are fund changes and additions since the August 27, 2012 Supplement to the April 30, 2012 Prospectus, for your information in reviewing Accumulation Unit information.
 
Effective April 29 , 2013 , the names of the following Investment Divisions changed (whether or not in connection with a sub-adviser change):

The Annuity Contract
The fixed and variable annuity Contract offered by Jackson provides a means for allocating on a tax-deferred basis for non-qualified Contracts to the Fixed Accounts and investment divisions (the “Investment Divisions”). In addition to the Fixed Accounts, if you elected the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB, automatic transfers of your Contract Value may be allocated to a GMWB Fixed Account. (We refer to the Fixed Accounts, GMWB Fixed Account and the Investment Divisions together as the “Allocation Options”). The Contract is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes and provides for a death benefit and income options.
 
Allocation Options
The Contract offers 12 Investment Divisions and at least one guaranteed fixed account. You may not choose to allocate your premiums to the GMWB Fixed Account; however, Contract Value may be automatically allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account according to non-discretionary formulas if you have purchased the optional LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB.
 
Expenses
The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each.
   
 
Jackson makes a deduction for its insurance and administration charges that is equal to 1.40% of the daily value of the Contracts invested in the Investment Divisions. If you select our Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, Jackson deducts an additional charge equal to 0.20% of the daily net asset value of Contracts invested in the Investment Divisions. These charges do not apply to the Fixed Accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account. During the accumulation phase, Jackson deducts a $35 annual contract maintenance charge from your Contract.
   
 
If you select any one of our GMWBs, Jackson deducts an additional charge, the maximum of which ranges from 0.51% to 1.86% of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB). While the charge is deducted from your Contract Value, it is based on the GWB. For more information, including how the GWB is calculated, please see “Contract Charges.”
   
 
If you take your money out of the Contract, Jackson may assess a withdrawal charge. The withdrawal charge starts at 7% in the first year after receipt of a premium payment and declines 1% a year to 0% after 7 years.
   
 
Jackson may assess a state premium tax charge which ranges from 0% - 3.5% (the amount of state premium tax, if any, will vary from state to state) when you begin receiving regular income payments from your Contract, when you make a withdrawal or, in states where required, at the time premium payments are made.
 
 
1

 
 
 
There are also investment charges, which are expected to range from 0. 64 % to 0.7 0 %, on an annual basis, of the average daily value of the Funds, depending on the Fund.
 
Purchases
Under most circumstances, you can buy a Contract for $5,000 or more ($2,000 or more for a qualified plan Contract). You can add $500 ($50 under the automatic payment plan) or more at any time during the accumulation phase. We reserve the right to refuse initial and any or all subsequent premium payment s . We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract (i.e., the Withdrawal Charge and the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge).
 
Optional Endorsements
Not all optional endorsements are available in all states or through all broker-dealers. The availability of optional endorsements may reflect state prohibitions and variations, Jackson’s reservation of the right not to offer certain optional endorsements, and broker-dealer selections. The representative assisting you will advise you whether an optional benefit is available and of any variations.
 
Access to Your Money
During the accumulation phase, there are a number of ways to take money out of your Contract, generally subject to a charge or adjustment. You may also have to pay income tax and a tax penalty on any money you take out.
 
Income Payments
You may choose to receive regular income from your annuity. During the income phase, you have the same variable allocation options.
 
Death Benefit
If you die before moving to the income phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death benefit. If you select the Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, the death benefit your beneficiary receives may be increased by 40% of earnings up to a maximum of 100% of the premiums you have paid (25% of earnings for Owners ages 70-75).
 
Free Look
If you cancel your Contract within 20 days after receiving it (or whatever period is required in your state), Jackson will return the amount your Contract is worth on the day we receive your request or the Contract is returned to your selling agent. This may be more or less than your original payment. If required by law, Jackson will return your premium. In some states, we are required to hold the premiums of a senior citizen in a guaranteed fixed account during the free look period, unless we are specifically directed to allocate the premiums to the Investment Divisions. State laws vary; your free look rights will depend on the laws of the state in which you purchased the Contract.
 
Taxes
Under the Internal Revenue Code you generally will not be taxed on the earnings on the money held in your Contract until you take money out (this is referred to as tax-deferral). There are different rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how you take the money out and whether your Contract is non-qualified or purchased as part of a qualified plan.

JNAM has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to limit the total operating expenses of each class of shares of the Fund, exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividend and extraordinary expenses, to an annual rate (as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund) equal to or less than the Fund’s investment income for the period.  The fee waiver will continue for at least one year from the date of this Prospectus, unless the Board of Trustees approves a change in or elimination of the waiver. This fee waiver is subject to yearly review and approval by the Board of Trustees.

 
The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity Contracts.  These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Separate Account annual expenses and Fund fees and expenses.

(The Annual Contract Maintenance Charge is determined by dividing the total amount of such charges collected during the calendar year by the total market value of the Investment Divisions, Fixed Accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account, if applicable.)

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated.  Neither transfer fees nor premium tax charges are reflected in the example.  The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return on assets each year.

The following example includes maximum Fund fees and expenses and the cost if you select the Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement and the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (using the maximum possible charge).  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$52 2
$1,41 3
$2,31 3
$4,6 22

If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year *
3 years
5 years
10 years
$52 2
$1,41 3
$2,31 3
$4,6 22

*  Withdrawal charges apply to income payments occurring within one year of the Contract’s Issue Date.

If you do not surrender your Contract:

1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$45 2
$1,36 3
$2,28 3

The information about the values of all accumulation units constitutes the condensed financial information, which can be found in the Statement of Additional Information.  The value of an accumulation unit is determined on the basis of changes in the per share value of an underlying fund and Separate Account charges for the base Contract and the various combinations of optional endorsements.  The financial statements of the Separate Account and Jackson can be found in the Statement of Additional Information.  The financial statements of the Separate Account include information about all the contracts offered through the Separate Account.  The financial statements of Jackson that are included should be considered only as bearing upon the companys ability to meet its contractual obligations under the Contracts.  Jackson’s financial statements do not bear on the future investment experience of the assets held in the Separate Account.  For your copy of the Statement of Additional Information, please contact us at the Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

The fixed and variable annuity Contract offered by Jackson is a Contract between you, the Owner, and Jackson, an insurance company.  The Contract provides a means for allocating on a tax-deferred basis to the Investment Divisions, the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account (only if the optional LifeGuard Select GMWB or LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB were elected).  The Contract is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes and provides for a death benefit and guaranteed income options.

The Contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases:  (1) the accumulation phase and (2) the income phase.  Withdrawals under a non-qualified contract will be taxable on an “income first” basis.  This means that any withdrawal from a non-qualified contract that does not exceed the accumulated income under the Contract will be taxable in full.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified contract will be taxable except to the extent that they are allocable to an investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions).  In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.  Income payments under either a non-qualified contract or a tax-qualified contract will be taxable except to the extent that they represent a partial repayment of the investment in the Contract.

The Contract offers guaranteed fixed accounts.  The guaranteed fixed accounts each offer a minimum interest rate that is guaranteed by Jackson for the duration of the guaranteed fixed account period.  While your money is in a guaranteed fixed account, the interest your money earns and your principal are guaranteed by Jackson.  The value of a guaranteed fixed account may be reduced if you make a withdrawal prior to the end of the guaranteed fixed account period, but will never be less than the premium payments accumulated at 3% per year.  If you choose to have your annuity payments come from the guaranteed fixed accounts, your payments will remain level throughout the entire income phase.

In addition to the guaranteed fixed accounts, there is a GMWB Fixed Account.  The GMWB Fixed Account is available only in conjunction with the purchase of the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB.  If you elected to purchase one of these two GMWBs, automatic transfers of your Contract Value may be required to and from the GMWB Fixed Account according to non-discretionary formulas.  You may not allocate additional monies to the GMWB Fixed Account.  For more information regarding the GMWB Fixed Account, please see below.

The Contract also offers Investment Divisions.  The Investment Divisions are designed to offer the potential for a higher return than the guaranteed fixed accounts.  However, this is not guaranteed.  It is possible for you to lose your Contract Value allocated to any of the Investment Divisions.  If you put money in the Investment Divisions, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of the Investment Divisions you select.  The amount of the income payments you receive during the income phase also will depend, in part, on the performance of the Investment Divisions you choose for the income phase.

As the Owner, you can exercise all the rights under the Contract.  You can assign the Contract at any time during your lifetime but Jackson will not be bound until it receives written notice of the assignment (there is an assignment form).  An assignment may be a taxable event.  Your ability to change ownership is limited on Contracts with one of the For Life GMWBs.  Please contact our Annuity Service Center for help and more information.

The Contract is a flexible premium fixed and variable deferred annuity and may be issued as either an individual or a group contract.  Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits than those described in this prospectus.  This prospectus provides a description of the material rights and obligations under the Contract.  Your Contract and any endorsements are the formal contractual agreement between you and the Company.  In those states where Contracts are issued as group contracts, references throughout the prospectus to “Contract(s)” shall also mean “certificate(s).”

AND GMWB FIXED ACCOUNT

Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account and/or the GMWB Fixed Account will be placed with other assets in Jackson’s General Account.  Unlike the Separate Account, the General Account is not segregated or insulated from the claims of the insurance company’s creditors.  Investors are looking to the financial strength of the insurance company for its obligations under the Contract, including, for example, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits.  The guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account are not registered with the SEC and the SEC does not review the information we provide to you about them.  Disclosures regarding the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account, however, may be subject to the general provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.  Your Contract contains a more complete description of the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account.


The Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) Fixed Account.  The GMWB Fixed Account is available only in conjunction with the purchase of the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB.  If you elected to purchase one of these two GMWBs, automatic transfers of your Contract Value may be required to and from the GMWB Fixed Account according to non-discretionary formulas.  You may not allocate additional monies to the GMWB Fixed Account.

The Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account is credited with a specific interest rate.  The interest rate initially declared for each transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account will remain in effect for a period of not less than one year.  GMWB Fixed Account interest rates for subsequent periods may be higher or lower than the rates previously declared.  The interest rate is credited daily to the Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account and the rate may vary by state but will never be less than 3%.  Please contact us at the Annuity Service Center or contact your representative to obtain the currently declared GMWB Fixed Account interest rate for your state.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

Contract charges deducted from the guaranteed fixed accounts and Investment Divisions are also deducted from the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with your Contract’s provisions.  DCA, DCA+, Earnings Sweep and Automatic Rebalancing are not available to or from the GMWB Fixed Account.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers, withdrawals or deductions from the GMWB Fixed Account.  Transfers to and from the GMWB Fixed Account are automatic according to non-discretionary formulas; you may not choose to transfer amounts to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.  These automatic transfers will not count against the 15 free transfers in a Contract Year.  You will receive a confirmation statement reflecting the automatic transfer of any Contract Value to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.

For more detailed information regarding LifeGuard Select, including the GMWB Fixed Account, please see “For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up Endorsement” beginning on page 94 .  For more detailed information regarding LifeGuard Select with Joint Option, please see “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up Endorsement” beginning on page 128 .


The Jackson National Separate Account  - I was established by Jackson on June 14, 1993, pursuant to the provisions of Michigan law.  The Separate Account is a separate account under state insurance law and a unit investment trust under federal securities law and is registered as an investment company with the SEC.

The assets of the Separate Account legally belong to Jackson and the obligations under the Contracts are obligations of Jackson.  However, the Contract assets in the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Jackson may conduct.  All of the income, gains and losses resulting from these assets are credited to or charged against the Contracts and not against any other Contracts Jackson may issue.

The Separate Account is divided into Investment Divisions.  Jackson does not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account or the Investment Divisions.

The investment objectives and policies of certain of the Funds are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual Funds that certain of the investment sub-advisers manage.  Although the objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the Funds may be higher or lower than the result of such mutual Funds.  We cannot guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar funds will be comparable even though the funds have the same investment sub-advisers.  The Funds described are available only through variable annuity Contracts issued by Jackson.  They are NOT offered or made available to the general public directly.

A Fund’s performance may be affected by risks specific to certain types of investments, such as foreign securities, derivative investments, non-investment grade debt securities, initial public offerings (IPOs) or companies with relatively small market capitalizations.  IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small asset base.  A Fund may not experience similar performance as its assets grow.

You should read the prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust and the JNL Variable Fund LLC carefully before investing.  Additional Funds and Investment Divisions may be available in the future.  The prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust and the JNL Variable Fund LLC are attached to this prospectus.  However, these prospectuses may also be obtained at no charge by calling 1-800- 644-4565 (Annuity and Life Service Center) or 1-800-777-7779 (for contracts purchased through a bank or financial institution), by writing P.O. Box 30314, Lansing, Michigan 48909-7814, or by visiting www.jackson.com.

Voting Rights. To the extent required by law, Jackson will obtain from you and other Owners of the Contracts instructions as to how to vote when the Funds solicit proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders.  When Jackson receives instructions, we will vote all the shares Jackson owns in proportion to those instructions.  An effect of this proportional voting is that a relatively small number of Owners may determine the outcome of a vote.

Substitution. Jackson may be required, or determine in its sole discretion, to substitute a different mutual Fund for the one in which the Investment Division is currently invested.  This will be done with any required approval of the SEC.  Jackson will give you notice of such transactions.


There are charges associated with your Contract, the deduction of which will reduce the investment return of your Contract.  Charges are deducted proportionally from your Contract Value.  Some of these charges are for optional endorsements, as noted, so they are deducted from your Contract Value only if you selected to add that optional endorsement to your Contract.  These charges may be a
 
 
14

 
 
lesser amount where required by state law or as described below, but will not be increased.  We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract.  These charges (and certain other expenses) are as follows:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the accumulation units and annuity units, we make a deduction for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  On an annual basis, this charge equals 1.25% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.

The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge does not apply to the guaranteed fixed accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account.

The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge compensates us for the risks we assume in connection with all the Contracts, not just your Contract.  The mortality risks that Jackson assumes arise from our obligations under the Contracts:

·
to make income payments for the life of the annuitant during the income phase;

·
to waive the withdrawal charge in the event of your death; and

·
to provide both a standard and enhanced death benefit prior to the income date.

The expense risk that Jackson assumes is the risk that our actual cost of administering the Contracts and the Investment Divisions will exceed the amount that we receive from the administration charge and the annual contract maintenance charge.

Administration Charge. Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the accumulation units and annuity units, we make a deduction for administration charges.  On an annual basis, these charges equal 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.  This charge does not apply to the guaranteed fixed accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account.  This charge compensates us for our expenses incurred in administering the Contracts and the Separate Account.

Earnings Protection Benefit (“EarningsMax”) Charge.  If you select the Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, each day during the accumulation phase of your Contract Jackson makes a deduction for the charge for this benefit.  We do this as part of our calculation of the value of the accumulation units.  On an annual basis, this charge equals 0.20% of the daily net asset value of the Contracts having this Endorsement that are invested in an Investment Division, after expenses have been deducted.  This charge does not apply to the guaranteed fixed accounts or the GMWB Fixed Account.  We stop deducting this charge if you annuitize your Contract.

Annual Contract Maintenance Charge. During the accumulation phase, Jackson deducts a $35 ($30 in Washington) annual contract maintenance charge on each anniversary of the date on which your Contract was issued.  If you make a complete withdrawal from your Contract, the annual contract maintenance charge will also be deducted.  This charge is for administrative expenses.  The annual contract maintenance charge will be assessed on the Contract Anniversary or upon full withdrawal and generally is taken from the Investment Divisions, the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account based on the proportion their respective value bears to the Contract Value.

Jackson will not deduct this charge if, when the deduction is to be made, the value of your Contract is $50,000 or more.  Jackson may discontinue this practice at any time.

Transfer Fee. A transfer fee of $25 will apply to transfers in excess of 15 in a Contract year.  Jackson may waive the transfer fee in connection with Earnings Sweep or pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or may charge a lesser fee where required by state law.

Commutation Fee.  If you make a total withdrawal from your Contract after income payments have commenced under income option 4, or if after your death during the periods for which payments are guaranteed to be made under income option 3, your beneficiary elects to receive a lump sum payment, the amount received will be reduced by (a) minus (b) where:

·
(a) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at the rate assumed in calculating the initial payment; and

·
(b) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at a rate no more than 1% higher than the rate used in (a).

Withdrawal Charge. During the accumulation phase (if and to the extent the Contract Value is sufficient to pay any remaining withdrawal charges that remain after a withdrawal), you can make withdrawals from your Contract without a Withdrawal Charge.

·
At any time during the accumulation phase, you may withdraw premiums that are not subject to a Withdrawal Charge (premiums in your annuity for seven years or longer and not previously withdrawn).

·
Once every year, you may withdraw the greater of earnings or 10% of premiums paid (not yet withdrawn)(“Free Withdrawal”).  Withdrawals in excess of that will be charged a Withdrawal Charge starting at 7% in the first year and declining 1% a year to 0% after 7 years.  The Withdrawal Charge compensates us for costs associated with selling the Contracts.  Required minimum distributions will reduce the 10% Free Withdrawal amount.

For purposes of the withdrawal charge, Jackson treats withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest remaining premium.  If you make a full withdrawal, the Withdrawal Charge is based on premiums remaining in the Contract.  If you make a full withdrawal, you will not receive the benefit of the Free Withdrawal and the entire amount withdrawn will be subject to a Withdrawal Charge.  If you withdraw only part of the value of your Contract, we deduct the Withdrawal Charge from the remaining value in your Contract.

Note:  Withdrawals under a non-qualified Contract will be taxable on an “income first” basis.  This means that any withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract that does not exceed the accumulated income under the Contract will be taxable in full.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract will be taxable except to the extent that they are allocable to investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions).  In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified Contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.

Jackson does not assess the Withdrawal Charge on any payments paid out as (1) income payments after the first year during your Contract’s income phase, (2) death benefits, or (3) withdrawals necessary to satisfy the required minimum distribution of the Internal Revenue Code (but if the withdrawal requested exceeds the required minimum distribution; if the Contract was purchased with contributions from a nontaxable transfer, after the Owner’s death, of an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA); or is a Roth IRA annuity, then the entire withdrawal will be subject to the withdrawal charge).  Withdrawals for terminal illness or other specified conditions as defined by Jackson may not be subject to a Withdrawal Charge.  These provisions are not available in all states.

Jackson may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Withdrawal Charge when the Contract is sold under circumstances which reduce its sales expense.  Some examples are: the purchase of a Contract by a large group of individuals or an existing relationship between Jackson and a prospective purchaser.  Jackson may not deduct a Withdrawal Charge under a Contract issued to an officer, director, agent or employee of Jackson or any of its affiliates.

7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“SafeGuard 7 Plus”) Charge.  If you select the 7% GMWB, in most states you will pay 0.10% of the GWB each calendar quarter (0.40% annually).  In Washington State, the charge is monthly, currently 0.035% of the GWB (0.42% annually), which we will waive at the end of a Contract Month to the extent that the charge exceeds the amount of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions.  For more information about the GWB, please see “7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit” beginning on page 33 .

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

We deduct the charge from your Contract Value.  Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the guaranteed fixed account. In Washington State, monthly charges are also pro rata, but deducted over the applicable Investment Divisions only.  With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling accumulation units rather than as part of the calculation to determine accumulation unit value.  While the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB.  The charge is prorated, from the endorsement’s effective date, to the end of the first quarter or first month after selection.  Similarly, the charge is prorated upon termination of the endorsement, including upon conversion (if conversion is permitted).

We reserve the right to prospectively change the charge: on new Contracts; if you select this benefit after your Contract is issued; or with a Step-Up – subject to a maximum charge of 0.75% annually in all states offering this benefit.  The actual deduction of the charge will be reflected in your quarterly statement.  We stop deducting the charge on the earlier date that you annuitize the Contract, or your Contract Value is zero.  Please check with your representative to learn about the current level of the charge, or contact us at the Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the first page of the prospectus.  In addition, please consult the representative to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of the GMWB and a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.  For more information about how the endorsement works, please see “7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit” beginning on page 33 .  Also see “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  33 for additional important information to consider when purchasing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit.

The actual deduction of the charge will be reflected in your quarterly statement. You will continue to pay the charge for the endorsement through the earlier date that you annuitize the Contract or your Contract Value is zero.  Also, we will stop deducting the charge under the other circumstances that would cause the endorsement to terminate.  For more information, please see “Termination” under “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus And Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 112 .  Please check with your representative to learn about the current level of the charge, or contact us at the Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the first page of the prospectus.  In addition, please consult the representative to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of the GMWB and a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation. For more information about how the endorsement works, please see “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus And Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 105 .  Also see “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  33 for additional important information to consider when purchasing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit.

Other Expenses. Jackson pays the operating expenses of the Separate Account, including those not covered by the mortality and expense and administrative charges.  There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Funds.  These expenses are described in the attached prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust and the JNL Variable Fund LLC.

Premium Taxes. Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes or other similar taxes.  Jackson is responsible for the payment of these taxes and may make a deduction from the value of the Contract for them.  Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5% (the amount of state premium tax, if any, will vary from state to state).

Income Taxes. Jackson reserves the right, when calculating unit values, to deduct a credit or charge with respect to any taxes paid by or reserved for Jackson during the valuation period which are determined by Jackson to be attributable to the operation of the Separate Account, or to a particular Investment Division.  No federal income taxes are applicable under present law, and we are not making any such deduction.


Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (“JNLD”) located at 7601 Technology Way, Denver, Colorado 80237, serves as the distributor of the Contracts.  JNLD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson.  JNLD is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).  JNLD is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).   For more information on broker-dealers and their registered representatives, you may use the FINRA BrokerCheck program via telephone (1-800-289-9999) or internet (www.finra.org).

Commissions are paid to broker-dealers who sell the Contracts.  While commissions may vary, they are not expected to exceed 8% of any premium payment.  Where lower commissions are paid up front, we may also pay trail commissions.  We may also pay commissions on the Income Date if the annuity option selected involves a life contingency or a payout over a period of ten or more years.

Under certain circumstances, JNLD out of its own resources may pay bonuses, overrides, and marketing allowances, in addition to the standard commissions.  These payments and/or reimbursements to broker-dealers are in recognition of their marketing and distribution and/or administrative services support.  They may not be offered to all broker-dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement may vary widely among broker-dealers depending on, among other things, the level and type of marketing and distribution support

provided assets under management, and the volume and size of the sales of our insurance products.  They may provide us greater access to the registered representatives of the broker-dealers receiving such compensation or may otherwise influence the broker-dealer and/or registered representative to present the Contracts more favorably than other investment alternatives.  Such compensation is subject to applicable state insurance law and regulation and the NASD rules of conduct.  While such compensation may be significant, it will not cause any additional direct charge by us to you.

The two primary forms of such compensation paid by the Company are overrides and marketing support payments.  Overrides are payments that are designed as consideration for product placement and sales volume.  Overrides are generally based on a fixed percentage of product sales and generally range from 10 to 50 basis points (0.10% to 0.50%).  Marketing support payments may be in the form of cash and/or non-cash compensation and allow us to, among other things, participate in sales conferences (for example, national, regional and top producer meetings) , sponsorships and educational seminars.  Examples of such payments include, but are not limited to, reimbursements for representative training or “due diligence” meetings (including travel and lodging expenses), client events, speaker fees and business development and educational enhancement items, including payments to third party vendors for such items.  Payments or reimbursements for meetings and seminars are generally based on the anticipated level of participation and/or accessibility and the size of the audience.  Subject to NASD rules of conduct, we may also provide cash and/or non-cash compensation to registered representatives in the form of gifts, promotional items and occasional meals and entertainment.  Individual registered representatives may receive differing levels of sales and service support.

We may, under certain circumstances where permitted by applicable law, pay a bonus to a Contract purchaser to the extent the broker-dealer waives its commission.  You can learn about the amount of any available bonus by calling the toll-free number on the cover page of this prospectus.  Contract purchasers should inquire of the representative if such bonus is available to them and its compliance with applicable law.  We may use any of our corporate assets to cover the cost of distribution, including any profit from the Contract’s mortality and expense risk charge and other charges.  Besides Jackson National Life Distributors LLC, we are affiliated with the following broker-dealers:

·      
IFC Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Invest Financial Corporation,

Curian Clearing LLC

The Distributor also has the following relationships with the sub-advisers and their affiliates.  The Distributor receives payments from certain sub-advisers to assist in defraying the costs of certain promotional and marketing meetings in which they participate.  The amounts paid depend on the nature of the meetings, the number of meetings attended, the costs expected to be incurred and the level of the sub-adviser’s participation.  Our affiliated broker-dealers may also sell the retail mutual funds of certain sub-advisers.  In addition, the Distributor acts as distributor of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Other Contracts”) issued by Jackson National Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York.  Unaffiliated broker-dealers are also compensated at the standard rates of compensation.  The compensation consists of commissions, trail commissions and other compensation or promotional incentives as described above and in the prospectus or statement of additional information for the Other Contracts.

All of the compensation described here, and other compensation or benefits provided by Jackson or our affiliates, may be greater or less than the total compensation on similar or other products.  The amount and/or structure of the compensation can possibly create a potential conflict of interest as it may influence your registered representative, broker-dealer or selling institution to present this Contract over other investment alternatives.  The variations in compensation, however, may also reflect differences in sales effort or ongoing customer services expected of the registered representative or the broker-dealer.  You may ask your registered representative about any variations and how he or she and his or her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Contract.

You can pay additional premiums at any time during the accumulation phase

There is a $100 minimum balance requirement for each Investment Division and guaranteed fixed account.  A withdrawal request that would reduce the remaining Contract Value to less than $100 will be treated as a request for a complete withdrawal.

Allocations of Premium. When you purchase a Contract, Jackson will allocate your premium to one or more of the Allocation Options you have selected.  Your allocations must be in whole percentages ranging from 0% to 100%.  The minimum that you may allocate to a guaranteed fixed account or Investment Division is $100.  Jackson will allocate additional premiums in the same way unless you tell us otherwise.

There may be more than 18 Investment Divisions available under the Contract; however, you may not allocate your money to more than 18 Investment Divisions plus the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account during the life of your Contract.  Additionally, you may not choose to allocate your premiums to the GMWB Fixed Account; however, Contract Value may be automatically allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account according to non-discretionary formulas if you have purchased the optional

LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB.  For more detailed information regarding LifeGuard Select, please see “For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up Endorsement” beginning on page 94 .  For more detailed information regarding LifeGuard Select with Joint Option, please see “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up Endorsement” beginning on page 128 .

Jackson will issue your Contract and allocate your first premium within two business days after we receive your first premium and all information that we require for the purchase of a Contract.  If we do not receive all of the information that we require, we will contact you to get the necessary information.  If for some reason Jackson is unable to complete this process within five business days, we will return your money.

The Jackson business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).

Capital Protection ProgramJackson offers a Capital Protection program that a Contract Owner may request at issue.  Under this program, Jackson will allocate enough of your premium to the guaranteed fixed account you select to assure that the amount so allocated, based on that guaranteed fixed account’s interest rate in effect on the date of allocation, will equal at the end of a selected period of 1, 3, 5, or 7 years, the total premium paid.  The rest of the premium will be allocated to the Investment Divisions based on your allocation.  If any part of the guaranteed fixed account value is surrendered or transferred before the end of the selected guarantee period, the value at the end of that period will not equal the original premium.

For an example of Capital Protection, assume you made a premium payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the three-year guaranteed period was 3% per year.  We would allocate $9,152 to that guarantee period because $9,152 would increase at that interest rate to $10,000 after three years, assuming no withdrawals are taken.  The remaining $848 of the payment would be allocated to the Investment Division(s) you selected.

Alternatively, assume Jackson receives a premium payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the seven-year period is 6.75% per year.  Jackson will allocate $6,331 to that guarantee period because $6,331 will increase at that interest rate to $10,000 after seven years.  The remaining $3,669 of the payment will be allocated to the Investment Divisions you select.

Thus, as these examples demonstrate, the shorter guarantee periods require allocation of substantially all premium to achieve the intended result.  In each case, the results will depend on the interest rate declared for the guarantee period.

The Capital Protection Program will not be available if you purchase the LifeGuard Select Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit.

Accumulation Units. The Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions will go up or down depending on the performance of the divisions.  In order to keep track of the value of your Contract, Jackson uses a unit of measure called an “accumulation unit.”  During the income phase it is called an “Annuity Unit.”

Every business day Jackson determines the value of an accumulation unit for each of the Investment Divisions.  This is done by:

 
1.
determining the total amount of assets held in the particular Investment Division;

 
2.
subtracting any asset-based insurance charges;

 
3.
dividing this amount by the number of outstanding accumulation units.

Charges deducted through the cancellation of units are not reflected in this computation.

The value of an accumulation unit may go up or down from day to day.  The base Contract has a different accumulation unit value than each combination of optional endorsements an Owner may elect, based on the differing amount of charges applied in calculating that accumulation unit value.

When you make a premium payment, Jackson credits your Contract with accumulation units.  The number of accumulation units credited is determined at the close of Jackson’s business day by dividing the amount of the premium allocated to any Investment Division by the value of the accumulation unit for that Investment Division that reflects the combination of optional endorsements you have elected and their respective charges.

You may transfer your Contract Value between and among the Investment Divisions at any time, unless transfers are subject to other limitations, but transfers between a Fixed Account and an Investment Division must occur prior to the Income Date.  Transfers from a Fixed Account may be subject to any applicable interest rate adjustment.  There may be periods when we do not offer the Fixed Accounts, or when we impose special transfer requirements on the Fixed Accounts.  If a renewal occurs within one year of the Income Date, we will continue to credit interest up to the Income Date at the then current interest rate for the Fixed Accounts.  You can make 15 transfers every Contract Year during the accumulation phase without charge.

A transfer will be effective as of the end of the business day when we receive your transfer request in Good Order, and we will disclaim all liability for transfers made based on your transfer instructions, or the instructions of a third party authorized to submit transfer requests on your behalf.

Restrictions on Transfers: Market Timing. The Contract is not designed for frequent transfers by anyone.  Frequent transfers between and among Investment Divisions may disrupt the underlying Funds and could negatively impact performance, by interfering with efficient management and reducing long-term returns, and increasing administrative costs.  Neither the Contracts nor the underlying Funds are meant to promote any active trading strategy, like market timing.  To protect Owners and the underlying Funds, we have policies and procedures to deter frequent transfers between and among the Investment Divisions.

Under these policies and procedures, there is a $25 charge per transfer after 15 in a Contract Year, and no round trip transfers are allowed within 15 calendar days.  Also, we could restrict your ability to make transfers to or from one or more of the Investment Divisions, which possible restrictions may include, but are not limited to:

  
limiting the number of transfers over a period of time;

  
requiring a minimum time period between each transfer;

  
limiting transfer requests from an agent acting on behalf of one or more Owners or under a power of attorney on behalf of one or more Owners; or

  
limiting the dollar amount that you may transfer at any one time.
 
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to restrict the number of transfers per year that you can request and to restrict you from making transfers on consecutive business days.  In addition, your right to make transfers between and among Investment Divisions may be modified if we determine that the exercise by one or more Owners is, or would be, to the disadvantage of other Owners.

We continuously monitor transfers under the Contract for disruptive activity based on frequency, pattern and size.  We will more closely monitor Contracts with disruptive activity, placing them on a watch list, and if the disruptive activity continues, we will restrict the availability of electronic or telephonic means to make a transfer, instead requiring that transfer instructions be mailed through regular U.S. postal service, and/or terminate the ability to make transfers completely, as necessary.  If we terminate your ability to make transfers, you may need to make a partial withdrawal to access the Contract Value in the Investment Division(s) from which you sought a transfer.  We will notify you and your representative in writing within five days of placing the Contract on a watch list.

Regarding round trip transfers, we will allow redemptions from an Investment Division; however, once a complete or partial redemption has been made from an Investment Division through an Investment Division transfer, you will not be permitted to transfer any value back into that Investment Division within 15 calendar days of the redemption.  We will treat as short-term trading activity any transfer that is requested into an Investment Division that was previously redeemed within the previous 15 calendar days, whether the transfer was requested by you or a third party.

Our policies and procedures do not apply to the money market Investment Division, the Fixed Accounts, the GMWB Fixed Account, Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep or the Automatic Rebalancing program.  We may also make exceptions that involve an administrative error, or a personal unanticipated financial emergency of an Owner resulting from an identified health, employment, or other financial or personal event that makes the existing allocation imprudent or a hardship.  Please contact our Annuity Service Center if you believe your transfer request entails a financial emergency.

Otherwise, we do not exempt any person or class of persons from our policies and procedures.  We have agreements allowing for asset allocation and investment advisory services that are not only subject to our policies and procedures, but also to additional conditions and limitations, intended to limit the potential adverse impact of these activities on other Owners of the Contract.  We expect to apply our policies and procedures uniformly, but because detection and deterrence involves judgments that are inherently subjective, we cannot guarantee that we will detect and deter every Contract engaging in frequent transfers every time.  If these policies and procedures are ineffective, the adverse consequences described above could occur. We also expect to apply our policies and
 
 
30

 
 
procedures in a manner reasonably designed to prevent transfers that we consider to be to the disadvantage of other Owners, and we may take whatever action we deem appropriate, without prior notice, to comply with or take advantage of any state or federal regulatory requirement.


The Basics. You can request certain transactions by telephone or at www.jackson.com, our Internet website, subject to Jackson’s right to terminate electronic or telephone transfer privileges, as described above.  Our Customer Service representatives are available during business hours to provide you with information about your account.  We require that you provide proper identification before performing transactions over the telephone or through our Internet website.  For Internet transactions, this will include a Personal Identification Number (PIN).  You may establish or change your PIN at www.jackson.com.

What You Can Do and How. You may make transfers by telephone or through the Internet unless you elect not to have this privilege.  Any authorization given via an application, the Jackson website, or through other means to Jackson shall be deemed authorization by you for Jackson to accept transaction instructions, including Investment Division transfers/allocations, by you or your financial representative unless we are notified by you to the contrary.  To notify Jackson, please call us at the Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus and the number is referenced in your Contract or on your quarterly statement.

What You Can Do and When. When authorizing a transfer, you must complete your telephone call by the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) in order to receive that day’s accumulation unit value for an Investment Division.

Transfer instructions you send electronically are considered to be received by Jackson at the time and date stated on the electronic acknowledgement Jackson returns to you.  If the time and date indicated on the acknowledgement is before the close of the New York Stock Exchange, the instructions will be carried out that day.  Otherwise the instructions will be carried out the next business day.  Jackson will retain permanent records of all web-based transactions by confirmation number.  If you do not receive an electronic acknowledgement, you should telephone the Service Center immediately.

How to Cancel a Transaction. You may only cancel an earlier telephonic or electronic transfer request made on the same day by calling the Service Center before the New York Stock Exchange closes.  Otherwise, your cancellation instruction will not be allowed because of the round trip transfer restriction.

Our Procedures. Jackson has procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that telephone or any other electronic authorizations are genuine.  Our procedures include requesting identifying information and tape-recording telephone communications, and other specific details.  Jackson and its affiliates disclaim all liability for any claim, loss or expense resulting from any alleged error or mistake in connection with a transaction requested by telephone or other electronic means which was not authorized by you.  However, if Jackson fails to employ reasonable procedures to ensure that all requested transactions are properly authorized, we may be held liable for such losses.

Jackson does not guarantee access to telephonic and electronic information or that we will be able to accept transaction instructions via the telephone or electronic means at all times.  Jackson also reserves the right to modify, limit, restrict, or discontinue at any time and without notice the acceptance of instruction from someone other than you and/or this telephonic and electronic transaction privilege.  Elections of any optional benefit or program must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt of the request in Good Order.

Upon notification of the Owner’s death, any telephone transfer authorization, other than by the surviving joint Owners, designated by the Owner ceases and Jackson will not allow such transactions unless the executor/representative provides written authorization for a person or persons to act on the executor’s/representative’s behalf.

by electing a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit, or

  
by electing to receive income payments.

Your beneficiary can have access to the money in your Contract when a death benefit is paid.

Withdrawals under the Contract may be subject to a withdrawal charge.  For purposes of the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest remaining premium.  When you make a complete withdrawal you will receive the value of the Contract as of the end of the business day your withdrawal request is received by us in Good Order, minus any applicable taxes, the annual contract maintenance charge, charges under any optional endorsement; and all applicable withdrawal charges, adjusted for any applicable interest rate adjustment.  For more information about withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” beginning on page 15 .   We will pay the withdrawal proceeds within seven days of a request in Good Order. If a Purchase Payment made by personal check or electronic draft is received within the five days preceding a withdrawal request, we may delay payment of the withdrawal proceeds up to seven days after the date of the request, to ensure the check or electronic draft is not returned due to insufficient funds.

Your withdrawal request must be in writing.  Jackson will accept withdrawal requests submitted via facsimile.  There are risks associated with not requiring original signatures in order to disburse the money.  To minimize the risks, the proceeds will be sent to your last recorded address in our records, to be sure to notify us, in writing, with an original signature, of any address change.  We do not assume responsibility for improper disbursements if you have failed to provide us with the current address to which the proceeds should be sent.

Except in connection with the systematic withdrawal program, you must withdraw at least $500 or, if less, the entire amount in the guaranteed fixed account or Investment Division from which you are making the withdrawal.  After your withdrawal, at least $100 must remain in each guaranteed fixed account or Investment Division from which the withdrawal was taken.  A withdrawal request that would reduce the remaining Contract Value to less than $100 will be treated as a request for a complete withdrawal.

If you have an investment adviser who, for a fee, manages your Contract Value, you may authorize payment of the fee from the Contract by requesting a partial withdrawal.  There are conditions and limitations, so please contact our Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.  We neither endorse any investment advisers, nor make any representations as to their qualifications.  The fee for this service would be covered in a separate agreement between the two of you, and would be in addition to the fees and expenses described in this prospectus.

Income taxes, tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any withdrawal you make.  There are limitations on withdrawals from qualified plans.  For more information, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Considerations. Most people who are managing their investments to provide retirement income want to provide themselves with sufficient lifetime income and also to provide for an inheritance for their beneficiaries.  The main obstacles they face in meeting these goals are the uncertainties as to (i) how much income their investments will produce, and (ii) how long they will live and will need to draw income from their investments.  A Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) is designed to help reduce these uncertainties.

A GMWB is intended to address those concerns but does not provide any guarantee the income will be sufficient to cover any individual’s particular needs.  Moreover, the GMWB does not assure that you will receive any return on your investments.  The GMWB also does not protect against loss of purchasing power of assets covered by a GMWB due to inflation.  Even relatively low levels of inflation may have a significant effect on purchasing power if not offset by stronger positive investment returns.  The step-up feature on certain of the GMWBs may provide protection against inflation when there are strong investment returns that coincide with the availability of effecting a step-up.  However, strong investment performance will only help the GMWB guard against inflation if the endorsement includes a step-up feature.

 
32

 
 
Payments under the GMWB will first be made from your Contract Value.  Our obligations to pay you more than your Contract Value will only arise under limited circumstances.  Thus, in considering the election of any GMWB you need to consider whether the value to you of the level of protection that is provided by a GMWB and its costs, which reduce Contract Value and offset our risks, are consistent with your level of concern and the minimum level of assets that you want to be sure are guaranteed.

The Joint For Life GMWB with Bonus and Annual Step-Up is available only to spouses and differs from the For Life GMWB with Bonus and Annual Step-Up without the Joint Option (which is available to spouses and unrelated parties) and enjoys the following advantages:

  
If the Contract Value falls to zero, benefit payments under the endorsement will continue until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is effective.  (For more information about the For Life Guarantee and for information on who is a Covered Life under this form of GMWB, please see the “Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up” subsections beginning on pages 67 , 85 , 105 and 128 .)
 
  
If an Owner dies before the automatic payment of benefits begins, the surviving Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee is not automatically terminated (as it is on the For Life GMWBs without the Joint Option).
 
The Joint For Life GMWB has a higher charge than the For Life GMWB without the Joint Option.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations. Each of the GMWBs provides that the GMWB and all benefits thereunder will terminate on the Income Date, which is the date when annuity payments begin.  The Income Date is either a date that you choose or the Latest Income Date.  The Latest Income Date is generally the date on which the Owner attains age 90 under a non-qualified Contract, unless otherwise approved by the Company, or such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.

Before (1) electing a GMWB, (2) electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB, or (3) when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB, you should consider whether the termination of all benefits under the GMWB and annuitizing produces the better financial results for you.  Naturally, you should discuss with your Jackson representative whether a GMWB is even suitable for you.  Consultation with your financial and tax advisor is also recommended.

These considerations are of greater significance if you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB For Life, as the For Life payments will cease when you annuitize voluntarily or on the Latest Income Date.  Although each of the For Life GMWBs contain an annuitization option that may allow the equivalent of For Life payments when you annuitize on the Latest Income Date, all benefits under a GMWB For Life (and under the other GMWBs) will terminate when you annuitize.  To the extent that we can extend the Latest Income Date without adverse tax consequences to you, we will do so, as permitted by the applicable qualified plan, law, or regulation.  After you have consulted your financial and tax advisors you will need to contact us to request an extension of the Latest Income Date.  Please also see “Extension of Latest Income Date” beginning on page 148  for further information regarding possible adverse tax consequences of extending the Latest Income Date.

In addition, with regard to required minimum distributions (RMDs) under an IRA only, it is important to consult your financial and tax advisor to determine whether the benefits of a particular GMWB will satisfy your RMD requirements.  With regard to other qualified plans, you must determine what your qualified plan permits.  Distributions under qualified plans and Tax-Sheltered Annuities must begin by the later of the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which you retire.  You do not necessarily have to annuitize your Contract to meet the minimum distribution.

Finally, please note that withdrawals in excess of certain limits may have a significantly negative impact on the value of your GMWB through prematurely reducing the benefit’s Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB) and Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA) and, therefore, cause your GMWB to prematurely terminate.  Please see the explanations of withdrawals under each of the following GMWB descriptions for more information concerning the effect of excess withdrawals.

7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“SafeGuard 7 Plus”). The following description is supplemented by some examples in Appendix C that may assist you in understanding how the calculations are made in certain circumstances.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract’s Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract’s Issue Date, a 7% GMWB may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of your Contract Value.  The 7% GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract).  We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 7% GMWB cannot be canceled.  If you select the 7% GMWB when you purchase your Contract, your net premium payment will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 7% GMWB may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary.  If you select the 7% GMWB after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added (see Example 1 in Appendix C).  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon “step-up”), and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.

Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (as explained below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 7% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 7%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 7% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 7% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 7%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA may be reduced.  The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.

Withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 7% GMWB, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.

Any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 7% of the net premium payment or 7% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.

If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA may be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s) and even reset to the then current Contract Value, likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA, the GWB is equal to the greater of:

  
the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or
 
  
zero.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:
 
  
the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
  
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.
 
If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA, the GAWA is the lesser of:

  
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
  
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.
 
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
  
the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal;
 
 
34

 
 
  
the GWB after the partial withdrawal; or
 
  
 7% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.
  
Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA (or required minimum distribution (RMD), if applicable – see below) may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix C).  For purposes of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments.

Withdrawals made under the guarantee of this endorsement are considered to be the same as any other partial withdrawals for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, the 7% GMWB allows for withdrawals greater than the GAWA to meet the RMD under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.

Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs 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 RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with the 7% GMWB, GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement’s guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of either of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMD requirements for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD requirement for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating the GMWB in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that
 
 
35

 
 
    the 7% GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.
 
 
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.

A Step-Up is allowed at any time, but there must always 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.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

Spousal Continuation.  If the Contract is continued by the spouse, the spouse retains all rights previously held by the Owner and therefore may elect to add the 7% GMWB to the Contract within the 30 days prior to any Contract Anniversary following the continuation date of the original Contract’s Issue Date.  The 7% GMWB would become effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.

If the spouse continues the Contract and the 7% GMWB endorsement already applies to the Contract, the 7% GMWB will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  Your spouse may elect to “step-up” on the continuation date.  If the Contract is continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, the value applicable upon “step-up” is the Contract Value, including any adjustments applied on the continuation date.  Any subsequent “step-up” must follow the “step-up” restrictions listed above (Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract’s Issue Date).

Termination.  The 7% GMWB endorsement terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge on the date you annuitize or surrender the Contract.  In surrendering the Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under the 7% GMWB.  The 7% GMWB also terminates: with the Contract upon your death (unless the beneficiary who is your spouse continues the Contract); upon the first date both the GWB and Contract Value equal zero; or upon conversion, if permitted – whichever occurs first.

Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, Contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  The payments continue until the GWB is reduced to zero.

All other rights under your Contract cease and we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, your beneficiary will receive the scheduled payments.  No other death benefit or Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid.

Annuitization.  If you decide to annuitize your Contract, you may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in your Contract:

Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.
 
 
36

 
 
This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 32  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  The purchase of the 7% GMWB may not be appropriate for the Owners of Contracts who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors on this and other matters prior to electing the 7% GMWB.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With 5-Year Step-Up (“SafeGuard Max”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage and examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2010, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) until the earlier of:
 
  
The Owner’s (or any joint Owner’s) death;
 
 
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.
 
   
PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Owners up to 85 years old (proof of age is required); may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary; and once added cannot be canceled.  At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
 
37

 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
   
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
                
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, this GMWB might be continued by a spousal Beneficiary.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.

Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:

Ages
GAWA Percentage
0 – 74
7%
75 – 79
8%
80 – 84
9%
85+
10%

Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  (There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
The GAWA before the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced. Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit and may lead to its premature termination.
 
 
38

 
 
 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
The GAWA before the withdrawal; Or
 
 
        ● 
The GWB after the withdrawal; Or
 
 
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the Contract Value after the withdrawal.
 
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement’s guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
 
 
39

 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
             
     
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
The first opportunity for a Step-Up is the fifth Contract Anniversary after this GMWB is added to the Contract.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time, but there must always 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.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

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) while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.

Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value is reduced to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB.
 
 
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 recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
The GAWA before the payment; Or
 
             
       
The GWB after the payment.
 

All other rights under your Contract cease and we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, no death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.

Spousal Continuation.  If the Contract is continued by the spouse, the spouse retains all rights previously held by the Owner and therefore may elect to add this GMWB to the Contract within the 30 days prior to any Contract Anniversary following the continuation date of the original Contract’s Issue Date.  This GMWB would become effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.

If the spouse continues the Contract and this endorsement already applies to the Contract, the GMWB will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age on the continuation date and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB.  Your spouse may elect to Step-Up on the continuation date.  If the Contract is continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, the value applicable upon Step-Up is the Contract Value, including any adjustments applied on the continuation date.  Any subsequent Step-Up must follow the Step-Up restrictions listed above (Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract’s Issue Date).

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
   
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
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;
 
The first date both the GWB and the Contract Value equals zero; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
 
41

 
 
Annuitization.

On the Latest Income Date, the Owner may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract:

Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.

This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“AutoGuard 5”).  The following description is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C that may assist you in understanding how calculations are made in certain circumstances.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2011, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract’s Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract’s Issue Date, a 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of your Contract Value.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract).  We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up cannot be canceled.  If you select the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up when you purchase your Contract, your premium payment net of any applicable taxes will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if your request is in Good Order.  If you select the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added (see Example 1 in Appendix C).  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon “step-up”), and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.

Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (as explained below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 5% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 5%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 5% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 5% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 5%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA will likely be reduced.  The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.
 
 
42

 

Withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.

Any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 5% of the net premium payment or 5% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.

If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA will likely be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s), likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “Required Minimum Distribution Calculations” below for more information.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GWB is equal to the greater of:

the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or
 
zero.

If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GAWA is the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after March 31, 2008, the GWB is equal to the greater of:

the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; or
 
zero.
If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after March 31, 2008, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.

The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:

the total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 

 
43

 


the amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before March 31, 2008, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:

the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before March 31, 2008, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal, or
 
5% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.

Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix C).  For purposes of all of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments.

Withdrawals made under the guarantee of this endorsement are considered to be the same as any other partial withdrawals, including systematic withdrawals, for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.  Withdrawals under the guarantee of this endorsement are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs 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 RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus. 
 
 
Under the Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement’s guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of either of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMD requirements for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD requirement for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
 
 
44

 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating the GMWB in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

Step-Up. Step-Ups with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up reset your GWB to the greater of Contract Value or the GWB before step-up, and GAWA becomes the greater of 5% of the new GWB or GAWA before step-up.  Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first 12 Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date, then on or after the 13th Contract Anniversary, at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between step-ups.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.  In addition, the GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  The request will be processed and effective on the day we receive the request in Good Order.  Before deciding to “step-up,” please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

Spousal Continuation.  If you die before annuitizing a Contract with the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, the Contract’s death benefit is still payable when Contract Value is greater than zero.  Alternatively, the Contract allows the beneficiary who is your spouse to continue it, retaining all rights previously held by the Owner.  If the spouse continues the Contract and the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement already applies to the Contract, the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted (as described above), and Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract’s Issue Date.  Upon spousal continuation of a Contract without the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, if the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is available at the time, the beneficiary may request to add this endorsement within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if the request is made in Good Order.

Termination.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge on the date you annuitize or surrender the Contract.  In surrendering the Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.  The 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up also terminates: with the Contract upon your death (unless the beneficiary who is your spouse continues the Contract); upon the first date both the GWB and Contract Value equal zero; or upon conversion, if permitted – whichever occurs first.

Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  The payments continue until the GWB is reduced to zero.

All other rights under your Contract cease and we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, your beneficiary will receive the scheduled payments.  No other death benefit or Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid.

Annuitization.  If you decide to annuitize your Contract, you may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in your Contract:

Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The
 
 
45

 
 
total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.

This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  The purchase of the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may not be appropriate for the Owners of Contracts who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors on this and other matters prior to electing the 5% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.

6% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“AutoGuard 6”).  The following description is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C that may assist you in understanding how calculations are made in certain circumstances.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2011, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract’s Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract’s Issue Date, a 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of your Contract Value.  The 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract).  We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up cannot be canceled.  If you select the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up when you purchase your Contract, your premium payment net of any applicable taxes will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if your request is in Good Order.  If you select the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added (see Example 1 in Appendix C).  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon “step-up”), and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.

Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (as explained below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 6% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 6%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 6% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 6% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 6%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA will likely be reduced.  The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.

Withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.

Any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 6% of the net premium payment or 6% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.

If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA will likely be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year

could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s), likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows for withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s required minimum distributions (RMDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “Required Minimum Distribution Calculations” below for more information.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GWB is equal to the greater of:

the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or
 
zero.

If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, the GAWA is the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after March 31, 2008, the GWB is equal to the greater of:

the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; or
 
zero.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract on or after March 31, 2008, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.

The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:

the total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
the amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before March 31, 2008, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:

the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, and this endorsement was added to your Contract before March 31, 2008, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
 
47

 

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal, or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal, or
 
6% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.

Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix C).  For purposes of all of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments.

Withdrawals made under the guarantee of this endorsement are considered to be the same as any other partial withdrawals, including systematic withdrawals, for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.  Withdrawals under the guarantee of this endorsement are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

Required Minimum Distribution Calculations.  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs 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 RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
Under the Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the endorsement’s guarantees may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of either of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMD requirements for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD requirement for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating the GMWB in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax

   adviser, to be sure that the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

Step-Up. Step-Ups with the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up reset your GWB to the greater of Contract Value or the GWB before step-up, and GAWA becomes the greater of 6% of the new GWB or GAWA before step-up.  Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first 12 Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date, then on or after the 13th Contract Anniversary, at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between step-ups.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.  In addition, the GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  The request will be processed and effective on the day we receive the request in Good Order.  Before deciding to “step-up,” please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

Spousal Continuation.  If you die before annuitizing a Contract with the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, the Contract’s death benefit is still payable when Contract Value is greater than zero.  Alternatively, the Contract allows the beneficiary who is your spouse to continue it, retaining all rights previously held by the Owner.  If the spouse continues the Contract and the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement already applies to the Contract, the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation.  Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted (as described above), and Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the anniversary of the original Contract’s Issue Date.  Upon spousal continuation of a Contract without the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up, if the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up is available at the time, the beneficiary may request to add this endorsement within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if the request is made in Good Order.

Termination.  The 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up endorsement terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge on the date you annuitize or surrender the Contract.  In surrendering the Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.  The 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up also terminates: with the Contract upon your death (unless the beneficiary who is your spouse continues the Contract); upon the first date both the GWB and Contract Value equal zero; or upon conversion, if permitted – whichever occurs first.

Contract Value Is Zero.  If your Contract Value is reduced to zero as the result of a partial withdrawal, contract charges or poor fund performance and the GWB is greater than zero, the GWB will be paid automatically to you on a periodic basis elected by you, which will be no less frequently than annually, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The total annual payment will equal the GAWA, but will not exceed the current GWB.  The payments continue until the GWB is reduced to zero.

All other rights under your Contract cease and we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments and all optional endorsements are terminated without value.  Upon your death as the Owner, your beneficiary will receive the scheduled payments.  No other death benefit or Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid.

Annuitization.  If you decide to annuitize your Contract, you may choose the following income option instead of one of the other income options listed in your Contract:

Fixed Payment Income Option.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that you select.  If you should die (assuming you are the Owner) before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.

This income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral.  The purchase of the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up may not be appropriate for the Owners of Contracts who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors on this and other matters prior to electing the 6% GMWB With Annual Step-Up.

5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Without Step-Up (“MarketGuard 5”). The following description is supplemented by some examples in Appendix C that may assist you in understanding how calculations are made in certain circumstances. 

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 6, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

For Owners 80 years old and younger on the Contract’s Issue Date, or on the date on which this endorsement is selected if after the Contract’s Issue Date, a 5% GMWB without Step-Up may be available, which permits an Owner to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, are guaranteed to equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB)(as defined below), regardless of your Contract Value.  The 5% GMWB without Step-Up is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (one GMWB only per Contract).  We may further limit the availability of this optional endorsement.  Once selected, the 5% GMWB without Step-Up cannot be canceled.  If you select the 5% GMWB without Step-Up when you purchase your Contract, your premium payment net of any applicable taxes will be used as the basis for determining the GWB.  The 5% GMWB without Step-Up may also be selected after the Issue Date within 30 days before any Contract Anniversary, and the endorsement will take effect on the Contract Anniversary if your request is in Good Order.  If you select the 5% GMWB without Step-Up after the Issue Date, to determine the GWB, we will use your Contract Value on the date the endorsement is added (see Example 1 in Appendix C).  The GWB can never be more than $5 million, and the GWB is reduced with each withdrawal you take.

Once the GWB has been determined, we calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA), which is the maximum annual partial withdrawal amount, except for certain tax-qualified Contracts (see below).  Upon selection, the GAWA is equal to 5% of the GWB.  The GAWA will not be reduced if partial withdrawals taken within any one Contract Year do not exceed 5%.  However, withdrawals are not cumulative.  If you do not take 5% in one Contract Year, you may not take more than 5% the next Contract Year.  If you withdraw more than 5%, the guaranteed amount available may be less than the total premium payments and the GAWA may be reduced.  The GAWA can be divided up and taken on a payment schedule that you request.  You can continue to take the GAWA each Contract Year until the GWB has been depleted.

Withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments, as applicable, are taken into consideration in calculating the amount of your partial withdrawals pursuant to the 5% GMWB without Step-Up, but these charges or adjustments are offset by your ability to make free withdrawals under the Contract.

Any time a subsequent premium payment is made, we recalculate the GWB and the GAWA.  Each time you make a premium payment, the GWB is increased by the amount of the net premium payment.  Also, the GAWA will increase by 5% of the net premium payment or 5% of the increase in the GWB, if the maximum GWB is reached.  We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment, however, that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate.  We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is reached.

If the total of your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, we will recalculate your GWB and your GAWA may be lower in the future.  In other words, withdrawing more than the GAWA in any Contract Year could cause the GWB to be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal(s) and even reset to the then current Contract Value, likely reducing the GAWA, too.  Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period.  Examples 4, 5, and 7 in Appendix C illustrate the impact of such withdrawals.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is less than or equal to the GAWA, the GWB is equal to the greater of:

the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal; or
 
zero.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, the GWB is equal to the lesser of:
 
 
50

 

the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal; or
 
the greater of the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal less the partial withdrawal or zero.

If all your partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year are less than or equal to the GAWA, the GAWA is the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal.

If the partial withdrawal plus all prior partial withdrawals made in the current Contract Year is greater than the GAWA, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:

the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal; or
 
the GWB after the partial withdrawal; or
 
5% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal.

Consistent with the explanation above, withdrawals greater than the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit through prematurely reducing the GWB and GAWA and, therefore, cause the benefit to prematurely terminate (see Example 5 in Appendix C).  For purposes of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges and interest rate adjustments.

Withdrawals made under the guarantee of this endorsement are considered to be the same as any other partial withdrawals, including systematic withdrawals, for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements.  They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract.  Withdrawals under the guarantee of this endorsement are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, the 5% GMWB without Step-Up allows for withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the RMD under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.

5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus And Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Advantage”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 8 for the bonus and example 9 for the For Life guarantees.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

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”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
    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).
     
    The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s 65th birthday (or with joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s 65th birthday).  If the Owner (or oldest Owner) is 65 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
     
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
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.
     
With this GMWB, 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, and the paragraph preceding it at the end of this section, 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.

Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required); 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 and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a
 
 
53

 
 
legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  Also, when the Owner is a legal entity, charges will be determined based on the age of the Annuitant and 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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

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 initial 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.
 
             
     
The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.
 
 
PLEASE NOTE:  At the time the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, the GAWA is reset to equal 5% of the then current GWB.

Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  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 both the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The two tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.) In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMDs without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable  –
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; 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 or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
 
54

 
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
5% of the Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The greater of 5% of the GWB after the withdrawal, or zero.
 
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
 
55

 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.
 
 
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.
 
 
Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first ten Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year 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.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

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.
 
 
56

 

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is unchanged and payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Otherwise, payments will be made while there is value to the GWB (until depleted), so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  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 in effect;
Otherwise
 
             
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or 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.  (The date the spousal beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.
 
   
Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).
 
   
Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted; 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 spousal beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
 
 
57

 
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract Value is zero.

Annuitization.

Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Bonus.  The description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8.  The bonus is an incentive for you not to utilize this GMWB (take withdrawals) during a limited period of time, subject to conditions and limitations, allowing the GWB and GAWA to increase (even in a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to any Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  The bonus is a percentage of a sum called the Bonus Base (defined below).  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:

How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
 
 
58

 
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.

The bonus equals 6% (5% if this GMWB is added to the Contract prior to April 30, 2007) and is based on a sum that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the “Bonus Base”), as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 (if joint Owners, the oldest 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.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 6% (5% if this GMWB is added to the Contract prior to April 30, 2007) 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.

For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Ascent”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage and examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups. 
 
 
59

 

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

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”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There are also other GMWB options for joint Owners that are spouses, as described below.
 
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).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
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.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.

Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 85 years old (proof of age is required); 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 and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

Election.  The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract, and the GAWA derives from the GWB.
 
 
60

 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date
   
The GWB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Issue Date.
 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
   
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added.
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  (See Example 1 in Appendix C.)  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.  However, this GMWB might be continued by a spousal beneficiary without the For Life Guarantee.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.

Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:

Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 59
4%
60 – 74
5%
75 – 84
6%
85+
7%

Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only. There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
61

 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
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 or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.

In addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Base (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.  Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
If the Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up then the BDB is set to equal the Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the Owner.
 
             
       
If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the oldest joint Owner.
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation.
 
             
     
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.

Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first ten Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between Step-Ups.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, automatic Step-Ups still occur and elected Step-Ups are still permitted even when the GWB is at the maximum of $5 million if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the GAWA percentage would increase.  A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

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) while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is unchanged and payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Otherwise, payments will be made while there is value to the GWB (until depleted), so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero.
 
 
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 in effect;
Otherwise
 
             
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  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.  (The date the spousal beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.
 
   
Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).
 
   
Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted; otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of death.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups, even if the Contract Value exceeds the BDB.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).
 
 
 
65

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

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.

Annuitization.

Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.

If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Ascent With Joint Option”). The description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups and example 10 for the For Life guarantees.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MARCH 31, 2008, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

The election of this GMWB under a non-qualified Contract requires the joint Owners to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) and each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”

The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary beneficiary and all other beneficiaries will be treated as contingent beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.

This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial Owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant’s life who dies last.

Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code).  The Owner and only the primary spousal beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.

In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.

For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a beneficiary; however, that beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new beneficiary; however, that beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new beneficiary.

For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:

The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;

The For Life Guarantee becomes effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.

So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
   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.
 
 
67

 

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

Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Covered Lives 45 to 85 years old (proof of age is required and both Covered Lives must be within the eligible age range).  This GMWB may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or on any Contract Anniversary and cannot be canceled except by a spousal beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.

At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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). 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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
             
     
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Issue Date.
 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
   
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
             
     
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added.
 
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void unless this GMWB is continued by a spousal beneficiary who is a Covered Life.  However, it is possible for this GMWB to be continued without the For Life Guarantee by a spousal beneficiary who is not a Covered Life.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.

Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:

Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 59
4%
60 – 74
5%
75 – 84
6%
85+
7%
 
 
68

 
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The two tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  (There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
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 or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the Contract Value after the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

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, RMDs 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
 
 
69

 
 
processing rules as described in the Contract.  They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

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”).  Upon election of a Step-Up, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum charges listed above.

In addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Base (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.  Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
             
     
If the Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up then the BDB is set to equal the Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the youngest Covered Life.
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation if the spouse electing Spousal Continuation is not a Covered Life.
 
             
     
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.

Step-Ups occur automatically upon each of the first ten Contract Anniversaries from the endorsement’s effective date.  Thereafter, a Step-Up is allowed at any time upon your request, so long as there is at least one year between Step-Ups.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, automatic Step-Ups still occur and elected Step-Ups are still permitted even when the GWB is at the maximum of $5 million if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the GAWA percentage would increase.  A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.  Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon election of a Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.
 
 
71

 
 
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 the death of the sole Owner of a qualified Contract or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.  Please see the information beginning on page  67 regarding the required ownership and beneficiary structure under both qualified and non-qualified Contracts when selecting the Joint For Life GMWB With Annual Step-Up benefit.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is unchanged and payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, at least one Covered Life remains alive and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  Otherwise, payments will be made while there is value to the GWB (until depleted), so long as the contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero.
 
 
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 in effect;
Otherwise
 
             
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 

Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but not less frequently than annually.  If you die before all scheduled payments are made, then your beneficiary will receive the remainder of the GWB in the form of continuing scheduled payments.  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 (or either joint Owner’s) death, the surviving spousal beneficiary 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.  (The date the spousal beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
     
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
     
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated. 
 
     
Step-Ups will continue automatically or as permitted in accordance with the above rules for Step-Ups.
 
     
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the original Contract’s Issue Date.
 
     
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the GAWA percentage will continue to be calculated and/or recalculated based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.
 
 
 
72

 
 
     
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life and if the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of death.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups.
 
     
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the additional Income Options available on the Latest Income Date.
 
     
A new joint Owner may not be added in a non-qualified Contract if a surviving spouse continues the Contract.
 
   
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated) if the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life.  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.  If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the Contract cannot be continued without this GMWB.
 
   
Add another GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the spousal beneficiary’s eligibility, and provided that this GMWB was terminated on the Continuation Date.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
The date of death of the Owner (or either joint Owner), unless the beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB (continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee if the surviving spouse is a Covered Life);
 
The Continuation Date on a Contract if the spousal beneficiary, who is not a Covered Life, elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.

Annuitization.

Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.

If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This
 
 
73

 
 
income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal beneficiary and the spousal beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Freedom GMWB”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups and example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 28, 2009, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

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”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There are also other GMWB options for joint Owners that are spouses, as described below.
 
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).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner (or with joint Owners, the oldest Owner) attaining the age of 59 1/2.  If the Owner (or oldest Owner) is 59 1/2 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.  The For Life Guarantee remains effective until the date this endorsement is terminated, as described below, or until the Continuation Date on which this GMWB endorsement is continued under spousal continuation.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
Or
 
   
 
 
74

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

Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required); 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 and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.

Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of the GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.  However, this GMWB might be continued by a spousal Beneficiary without the For Life Guarantee.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.

Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)

If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after January 12, 2009, the GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
 
75

 
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 62
4%
63 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%

If this GMWB was added to your Contract before January 12, 2009, the GAWA percentage for each age group is:

Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%

Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
             
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.
 

The GAWA is generally not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, unless the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is nearly depleted, resulting in a GWB that is less than the GAWA.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
76

 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
 
        ● 
If the For Life Guarantee is in force, the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
 
       
If the For Life Guarantee is not in force, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
 
                  ●
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, Or
 
 
                  ●
The GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:

The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008 and no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a GWB adjustment.

The GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:

The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) 70th birthday, Or
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.

The GWB adjustment is determined as follows:

On the effective date of this endorsement, the GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
 
78

 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the Benefit Determination Baseline (explained below).  Once the GWB is re-set, this GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the GWB Adjustment Date, this GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this GWB adjustment provision.)

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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
        ● 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the highest quarterly Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).

If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008, then, in addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.

Upon Step-Up, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the Owner’s attained age.  If an age band is crossed, the GAWA percentage will be increased.  For example, assume an Owner was age 73 at the time of the first withdrawal resulting in, according to the table above, a GAWA percentage of 5%.  Also assume that, when the Owner is age 76, a Step-Up occurs and the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB; in that case, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the Owner’s attained age of 76, resulting in a new GAWA percentage of 6%.

Upon Step-Up, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is not greater than the BDB, the GAWA percentage remains unchanged regardless of whether an age band has been crossed.

In the event that the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB, the BDB is set equal to the highest quarterly Contract Value.

Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
79

 
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the highest quarterly Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
 
     
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008 and the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up, then the BDB is set to equal the highest quarterly Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the Owner.
 
 
       
If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the oldest joint Owner.
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation.
 
             
     
For all Contracts to which this GMWB is added, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
The highest quarterly Contract Value equals the highest of the quarterly adjusted Contract Values from the four most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversaries, including the Contract Anniversary upon which the Step-Up is determined.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Value equals the Contract Value on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary, net of any applicable premium taxes, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary.

Partial withdrawals will affect the quarterly adjusted Contract Value as follows:
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
        ● 
Zero.
 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 

FOR CONTRACTS TO WHICH THIS GMWB WAS ADDED ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 6, 2008, PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and highest quarterly Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the highest quarterly Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.

Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary (11th Contract Anniversary if this endorsement is added to the Contract before January 12, 2009) following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.50%.  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  You may subsequently elect
 
 
80

 
 
to reinstate the Step-Up provision at the then current GMWB Charge.  All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.

The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, the BDB is not subject to a $5 million maximum; therefore, it is still possible for the GAWA percentage to increase even when the GWB has hit its $5 million maximum because automatic Step-Ups still occur if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB.  For example, assume the GWB and BDB are equal to $5 million prior to a Step-Up.  Also assume that the GAWA percentage is 5% and the GAWA is $250,000.  If, at the time of Step-Up, the highest quarterly Contract Value is $6 million, a Step-Up will occur.  The GWB will remain at its maximum of $5 million but the BDB will be set equal to $6 million.  If an age band has been crossed and the GAWA percentage for the Owner’s attained age is 6%, then the GAWA will be equal to $300,000 (6% x $5 million).

Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

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) while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner), so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
 
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 in effect;
Otherwise
 
             
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 

Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  If you die, all rights under your Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
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 GWB adjustment provision is void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
 
 
81

 
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the original Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age on the continuation date.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups, even if the Contract Value exceeds the BDB.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
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 spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
   
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.

Annuitization.

Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.
 
 
82

 
 
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Bonus.  The primary purpose of the bonus is to act as an incentive for you to defer taking withdrawals.  A bonus equal to 7% of the Bonus Base (defined below) will be applied to the GWB at the end of each Contract Year within the Bonus Period (also defined below) if no withdrawals are taken during that Contract Year.  The bonus enables the GWB and GAWA to increase in a given Contract Year (even during a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  This description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8. The box below has more information about the bonus, including:

How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.

The bonus equals 7% of the Bonus Base, which is an amount that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract, as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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.
 

 
83

 

     
All withdrawals count, including: systematic withdrawals; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
      
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 7% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal (in a prior year), the GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment or BDB.
 
The Bonus is only available during the Bonus Period.  If this GMWB is added to the Contract on or after October 6, 2008, the Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement.  In addition, the Bonus Period will re-start at the time the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up so long as the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the Owner’s (if Joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s) 80th birthday.  (See example below.)
 
The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following (1) the effective date of the endorsement or (2) the most recent increase to the Bonus Base due to a Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start on a later Contract Anniversary if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
The purpose of the re-start provision is to extend the period of time over which the Owner is eligible to receive a bonus.  For example, assume this GMWB was added to a Contract on December 1, 2008.  At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2018 (which is the tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement).  If a Step-Up increasing the Bonus Base occurs on the third Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement (December 1, 2011), and the Owner is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2021.  Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2023 (which is two years after the Bonus Period in this example expired) and that the Owner is still younger than age 80 at that time, the Bonus Period would re-start on December 1, 2023, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2033.  (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix C for more information regarding the re-start provision.)
 
If this GMWB was added to the Contract before October 6, 2008, the Bonus Period runs from the date this GMWB was added to the Contract through the earliest of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary after the effective date of the endorsement;
 
 
 
84

 
 
 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s (if joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s) 81st birthday; or
 
 
The date Contract Value is zero.
 
If this GMWB was added to the Contract before October 6, 2008, there is no provision allowing the Bonus Period to restart.
 
Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Freedom GMWB With Joint Option”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 10 for the For Life guarantees and example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 28, 2009, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

The election of this GMWB under a non-qualified Contract requires the joint Owners to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) and each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”

The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary Beneficiary and all other Beneficiaries will be treated as contingent Beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent Beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.

This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant’s life who dies last.

Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary Beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code).  The Owner and only the primary spousal Beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.

In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.

For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal Beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal Beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal Beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new Beneficiary.

For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
   
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life attaining the age of 59 1/2.  If the youngest Covered Life is 59 1/2 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.  The For Life Guarantee remains effective until the date this endorsement is terminated, as described below, or until the Continuation Date on which a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life continues this GMWB endorsement under spousal continuation.
   
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
 
85

 
 
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.

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

Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Covered Lives 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required and both Covered Lives must be within the eligible age range).  This GMWB may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or on any Contract Anniversary and cannot be canceled except by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.

At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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).  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.

Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of the GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void unless this GMWB is continued by a spousal beneficiary who is a Covered Life.  However, it is possible for this GMWB to be continued without the For Life Guarantee by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.

Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)
 
 
86

 
 
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after January 12, 2009, the GAWA percentage for each age group is:

Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 62

Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  The tables below clarify what happens in either instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
         
Otherwise
 
 
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
The GAWA is generally not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, unless the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is nearly depleted, resulting in a GWB that is less than the GAWA.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
             
       
If the For Life Guarantee is in force, the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
             
       
If the For Life Guarantee is not in force, the GAWA is equal to the lesser of:
 
        The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion  that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal, Or
 
●        The GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:

The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
 
 
88

 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008 and no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a GWB adjustment.

The GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:

The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 70th birthday, Or
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.

The GWB adjustment is determined as follows:

On the effective date of this endorsement, the GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
 
89

 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the Benefit Determination Baseline (explained below).  Once the GWB is re-set, this GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the GWB Adjustment Date, this GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this GWB adjustment provision.)

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.
 
             
       
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the highest quarterly Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).

If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008, then, in addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.

Upon Step-Up, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.  If an age band is crossed, the GAWA percentage will be increased.  For example, assume the youngest Covered Life was age 73 at the time of the first withdrawal resulting in, according to the table above, a GAWA percentage of 5%.  Also assume that, when the youngest Covered Life is age 76, a Step-Up occurs and the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB; in that case, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age of 76, resulting in a new GAWA percentage of 6%.

Upon Step-Up, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is not greater than the BDB, the GAWA percentage remains unchanged regardless of whether an age band has been crossed.

In the event that the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB, the BDB is set equal to the highest quarterly Contract Value.
 
 
90

 
 
Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the highest quarterly Contract Value (subject to a $5 million
maximum).
 
             
     
If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after October 6, 2008 and the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up, then the BDB is set to equal the highest quarterly Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the youngest Covered Life.
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation if the spouse electing Spousal Continuation is not a Covered Life.
 
             
     
For all Contracts to which this GMWB is added, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
 
The highest quarterly Contract Value equals the highest of the quarterly adjusted Contract Values from the four most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversaries, including the Contract Anniversary upon which the Step-Up is determined.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Value equals the Contract Value on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary, net of any applicable premium taxes, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary.

Partial withdrawals will affect the quarterly adjusted Contract Value as follows:
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             

 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
 
FOR CONTRACTS TO WHICH THIS GMWB WAS ADDED ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 6, 2008, PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and highest quarterly Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the highest quarterly Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.

Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary (11th Contract Anniversary if this endorsement is added to the Contract before January 12, 2009) following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to
 
 
91

 
 
the maximum annual charge of 1.86%.  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  You may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision at the then current GMWB Charge.  All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.

The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, the BDB is not subject to a $5 million maximum; therefore, it is still possible for the GAWA percentage to increase even when the GWB has hit its $5 million maximum because automatic Step-Ups still occur if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the BDB.  For example, assume the GWB and BDB are equal to $5 million prior to a Step-Up.  Also assume that the GAWA percentage is 5% and the GAWA is $250,000.  If, at the time of Step-Up, the highest quarterly Contract Value is $6 million, a Step-Up will occur.  The GWB will remain at its maximum of $5 million but the BDB will be set equal to $6 million.  If an age band has been crossed and the GAWA percentage for the youngest Covered Life’s attained age is 6%, then the GAWA will be equal to $300,000 (6% x $5 million).

Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

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 the death of the sole Owner of a qualified Contract or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.  Please see the information beginning on page  85 regarding the required ownership and beneficiary structure under both qualified and non-qualified Contracts when selecting the Joint For Life GMWB With Bonus and Annual Step-Up benefit.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the last surviving Covered Life, so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
 
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 in effect;
Otherwise
 
             
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
 
Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  Upon death of the last surviving Covered Life, all rights under the Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.

Spousal Continuation.  In the event of the Owner’s (or either joint Owner’s) death, the surviving spousal Beneficiary 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
 
 
92

 
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated. 
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and the GWB adjustment provision is in force on the continuation date then the provision will continue to apply in accordance with the GWB adjustment provision rules above.  The GWB adjustment date will continue to be based on the original effective date of the endorsement or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age, as applicable.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the GWB adjustment is null and void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the original Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the GAWA percentage will continue to be calculated and/or recalculated based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life and if the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age on the continuation date.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the additional Income Options available on the Latest Income Date.
 
   
A new joint Owner may not be added in a non-qualified Contract if a surviving spouse continues the Contract.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated) if the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life.  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.  If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the Contract cannot be continued without this GMWB.
 
Add another GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the spousal Beneficiary’s eligibility, and provided that this GMWB was terminated on the Continuation Date.

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
 
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
 
 
93

 
 
The date of death of the Owner (or either joint Owner), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB (continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee if the surviving spouse is a Covered Life);
 
The Continuation Date on a Contract if the spousal Beneficiary, who is not a Covered Life, elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.

Annuitization.

Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.

If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary and the spousal Beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Bonus.  The primary purpose of the bonus is to act as an incentive for you to defer taking withdrawals.  A bonus equal to 7% of the Bonus Base (defined below) will be applied to the GWB at the end of each Contract Year within the Bonus Period (also defined below) if no withdrawals are taken during that Contract Year.  The bonus enables the GWB and GAWA to increase in a given Contract Year (even during a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  This description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8.  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
 
94

 
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.

The bonus equals 7% of the Bonus Base, which is an amount that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract, as described immediately below.
 
 
 ●
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
 ●
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
 ●
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 7% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal (in a prior year), the GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment or BDB.
 
The Bonus is only available during the Bonus Period.  If this GMWB is added to the Contract on or after October 6, 2008, the Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement.  In addition, the Bonus Period will re-start at the time the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up so long as the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday.  (See example below.)
 
The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following (1) the effective date of the endorsement or (2) the most recent increase to the Bonus Base due to a Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start on a later Contract Anniversary if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
 
 
95

 
 
The purpose of the re-start provision is to extend the period of time over which the Owner is eligible to receive a bonus.  For example, assume this GMWB was added to a Contract on December 1, 2008.  At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2018 (which is the tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement).  If a Step-Up increasing the Bonus Base occurs on the third Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement (December 1, 2011), and the youngest Covered Life is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2021.  Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2023 (which is two years after the Bonus Period in this example expired) and that the youngest Covered Life is still younger than age 80 at that time, the Bonus Period would re-start on December 1, 2023, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2033.  (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix C for more information regarding the re-start provision.)
 
If this GMWB was added to the Contract before October 6, 2008, the Bonus Period runs from the date this GMWB was 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 youngest Covered Life’s 81st birthday; or
 
 
 ●
The date Contract Value is zero.
 
If this GMWB was added to the Contract before October 6, 2008, there is no provision allowing the Bonus Period to restart.
 
Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Freedom 6 GMWB”). The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups and example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment.  This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 11, 2010 THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

The Owner’s life (the “For Life Guarantee”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There are also other GMWB options for joint Owners that are spouses, as described below.
 
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).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner (or with joint Owners, the oldest Owner) attaining the age of 59 1/2.  If the Owner (or oldest Owner) is 59 1/2 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.  The For Life Guarantee remains effective until the date this endorsement is terminated, as described below, or until the Continuation Date on which this GMWB endorsement is continued under spousal continuation.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
Or
 
   
Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 
 
 
96

 
 
   
The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.

Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Owners 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required); 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 and proof of age 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).  We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant.  In certain circumstances, we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner in the event of divorce.  Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
   
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
             
     
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of a GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.  However, this GMWB might be continued by a spousal Beneficiary without the For Life Guarantee.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:

Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 64
4%
65 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%

Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals will also cause the GAWA to be recalculated if the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  In such case, the recalculation of the GAWA will occur whether or not the For Life Guarantee is in effect.  If the GWB is less than the GAWA at the end of any Contract Year and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA will be set equal
 
 
97

 
 
to the GWB.  This may occur, when over time, payment of the guaranteed withdrawals is nearly complete, the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB has been depleted to a level below the GAWA.  The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description. Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable -
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
         
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
        The GAWA is unchanged.  

The GAWA is  not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  The GAWA will be reduced at the end of a Contract Year to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is nearly depleted, resulting in a GWB that is less than the GAWA.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 

The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:

 
The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or

 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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
 
 
98

 
 
processing rules as described in the Contract.  They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes.  For more information about tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .
 
If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a GWB adjustment.

The GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:

 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) 70th birthday,

Or

 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.

The GWB adjustment is determined as follows:

 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.

 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the Benefit Determination Baseline (explained below).  Once the GWB is re-set, this GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the GWB Adjustment Date, this GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this 200% GWB adjustment provision.)

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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).

In addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.

Upon Step-Up, if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the Owner’s attained age.  If an age band is crossed, the GAWA percentage will be increased.  For example, assume an Owner was age 73 at the time of the first withdrawal resulting in, according to the table above, a GAWA
 
 
100

 
 
percentage of 5%.  Also assume that, when the Owner is age 76, a Step-Up occurs and the Contract Value is greater than the BDB; in that case, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the Owner’s attained age of 76, resulting in a new GAWA percentage of 6%.

Upon Step-Up, if the Contract Value is not greater than the BDB, the GAWA percentage remains unchanged regardless of whether an age band has been crossed.

In the event that the Contract Value is greater than the BDB, the BDB is set equal to the Contract Value.  The purpose of this re-set is to increase the BDB that will be used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon a future Step-Up if an age band is crossed.

Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
If the Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up, then the BDB is set to equal the Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the Owner.
 
             
       
If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the oldest joint Owner.
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation.
 
             
     
For all Contracts to which this GMWB is added, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 

PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.

Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.50%. You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  Please be aware that election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.  While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  (Please see the “Bonus” subsection below for more information.)  Also know that you may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision together with the GWB bonus provision at the then current GMWB Charge. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.

The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up. However, the BDB is not subject to a $5 million maximum; therefore, it is still possible for the GAWA percentage to increase even when the GWB has hit its $5 million maximum because automatic Step-Ups still occur if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB.  For example, assume the GWB and BDB are equal to $5 million prior to a Step-Up.  Also assume that the GAWA percentage is 5% and the GAWA is $250,000.  If, at the time of Step-Up, the Contract Value is $6 million, a Step-Up will occur.  The GWB will remain at its maximum of $5 million but the BDB will be set equal to $6 million.  If an age band has been crossed and the GAWA percentage for the Owner’s attained age is 6%, then the GAWA will be equal to $300,000 (6% x $5 million).

Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up. Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

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) while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner), so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
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.

Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  If you die, all rights under your Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
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 GWB adjustment provision is void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the original Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age on the continuation date.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups, even if the Contract Value exceeds the BDB.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
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 spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .
 
 
102

 
 
Termination. This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
   
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.

Annuitization.

Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.

If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32  for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.
 
Bonus.  The primary purpose of the bonus is to act as an incentive for you to defer taking withdrawals.  A bonus equal to 6% of the Bonus Base (defined below) will be applied to the GWB at the end of each Contract Year within the Bonus Period (also defined below) if no withdrawals are taken during that Contract Year.  The bonus enables the GWB and GAWA to increase in a given Contract Year (even during a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  This description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8.  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:
 
How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 6% of the Bonus Base, which is an amount that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract, as described immediately below.
 
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 6% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal (in a prior year), the GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment or BDB.
 
 
The Bonus is only available during the Bonus Period. The Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement.  In addition, the Bonus Period will re-start at the time the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up so long as the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the Owner’s (if Joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s) 80th birthday.  (See example below.)
 
The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
 
 
104

 
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following (1) the effective date of the endorsement or (2) the most recent increase to the Bonus Base due to a Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start on a later Contract Anniversary if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
 
The purpose of the re-start provision is to extend the period of time over which the Owner is eligible to receive a bonus.  For example, assume this GMWB was added to a Contract on December 1, 2008.  At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2018 (which is the tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement).  If a Step-Up increasing the Bonus Base occurs on the third Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement (December 1, 2011), and the Owner is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2021.  Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2023 (which is two years after the Bonus Period in this example expired) and that the Owner is still younger than age 80 at that time, the Bonus Period would re-start on December 1, 2023, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2033.  (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix C for more information regarding the re-start provision.)
 
 
Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
 
Joint For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Freedom 6 GMWB With Joint Option”). The description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 10 for the For Life guarantees and example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment. 
 
PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 11, 2010 THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.
 
The election of this GMWB under a non-qualified Contract requires the joint Owners to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) and each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”
 
The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary Beneficiary and all other Beneficiaries will be treated as contingent Beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent Beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.
 
This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant’s life who dies last.
 
Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary Beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code).  The Owner and only the primary spousal Beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.
 
In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.
 
For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal Beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal Beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal Beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new Beneficiary.
 
For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:
 
The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life attaining the age of 59 1/2.  If the youngest Covered Life is
 
 
105

 
 
59 1/2 years old or older on the endorsement’s effective date, then the For Life Guarantee is effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.  The For Life Guarantee remains effective until the date this endorsement is terminated, as described below, or until the Continuation Date on which a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life continues this GMWB endorsement under spousal continuation.
 
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
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.
 
Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB.  But PLEASE NOTE:  The guarantees of this GMWB are subject to the endorsement’s terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.
 
Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.
 
This GMWB is available to Covered Lives 45 to 80 years old (proof of age is required and both Covered Lives must be within the eligible age range).  This GMWB may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or on any Contract Anniversary and cannot be canceled except by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.
 
At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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).  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.
 
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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of a GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void unless this GMWB is continued by a spousal Beneficiary who is a Covered Life.  However, it is possible for this GMWB to be continued without the For Life Guarantee by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.
 
 
106

 
 
Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
45 – 64
4%
65 – 74
5%
75 – 80
6%
81+
7%
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals will also cause the GAWA to be recalculated if the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  In such case, the recalculation of the GAWA will occur whether or not the For Life Guarantee is in effect.  If the GWB is less than the GAWA at the end of any Contract Year and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA will be set equal to the GWB.  This may occur, when over time, payment of the guaranteed withdrawals is nearly complete, the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB has been depleted to a level below the GAWA.  The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  (RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)  In addition, if the For Life Guarantee is not yet in effect, withdrawals that cause the Contract Value to reduce to zero void the For Life Guarantee.  See “Contract Value is Zero” below for more information.
 
For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description. Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable -
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
         The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or  
             
       
Zero.
 
 
        The GAWA is unchanged.  
 
The GAWA is  not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  The GAWA will be reduced at the end of a Contract Year to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is nearly depleted, resulting in a GWB that is less than the GAWA.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.
 
Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
107

 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:
 
 
The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, or
 
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.
 
Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.
 
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, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .
 
If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  Any future GAWA percentage recalculation will be based on the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.
 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have
 
 
 
108

 
 
withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 
 
Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.
 
Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a GWB adjustment.
 
The GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:
 
 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 70th birthday, Or
 
 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.
 
The GWB adjustment is determined as follows:
 
 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)
 
If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the Benefit Determination Baseline (explained below).  Once the GWB is re-set, this GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the GWB Adjustment Date, this GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this 200% GWB adjustment provision.)
 
Premiums.
 
 
109

 
 
 
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.
 
             
       If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:  
             
         The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or  
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.
 
Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).
 
In addition to an increase in the GWB, a Step-Up allows for a potential increase in the GAWA percentage in the event that the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal.  The value used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon Step-Up is called the Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB).  The BDB equals initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes, if this GMWB is elected at issue, or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added, if elected after issue.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB and the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.  If an age band is crossed, the GAWA percentage will be increased.  For example, assume the youngest Covered Life was age 73 at the time of the first withdrawal resulting in, according to the table above, a GAWA percentage of 5%.  Also assume that, when the youngest Covered Life is age 76, a Step-Up occurs and the Contract Value is greater than the BDB; in that case, the GAWA percentage will be re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age of 76, resulting in a new GAWA percentage of 6%.
 
Upon Step-Up, if the Contract Value is not greater than the BDB, the GAWA percentage remains unchanged regardless of whether an age band has been crossed.
 
In the event that the Contract Value is greater than the BDB, the BDB is set equal to the Contract Value.  The purpose of this re-set is to increase the BDB that will be used to determine whether the GAWA percentage will increase upon a future Step-Up if an age band is crossed.
 
Withdrawals do not affect the BDB.  Subsequent premium payments increase the BDB by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.  In addition, unlike the GWB, the BDB is not subject to any maximum amount.  Therefore, it is possible for the BDB to be more than $5 million.
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
If the Contract Value is greater than the BDB prior to the Step-Up, then the BDB is set to equal the Contract Value (not subject to any maximum amount); and, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA percentage is recalculated based on the attained age of the youngest Covered Life.
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage will not be recalculated upon step-ups following Spousal Continuation if the spouse electing Spousal Continuation is not a Covered Life.
 
             
     
For all Contracts to which this GMWB is added, if the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.

PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawals from the Contract reduce the GWB and Contract Value but do not affect the BDB.  In the event of withdrawals, the BDB remains unchanged.  Therefore, because the Contract Value must be greater than the BDB prior to Step-Up in order for the GAWA percentage to increase, a GAWA percentage increase may become less likely when continuing withdrawals are made from the Contract.

Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.86%.  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  Please be aware that election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.   While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  (Please see the “Bonus” subsection below for more information.)  Also know that you may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision together with the GWB bonus provision at the then current GMWB Charge.  All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.
 
The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up.  However, the BDB is not subject to a $5 million maximum; therefore, it is still possible for the GAWA percentage to increase even when the GWB has hit its $5 million maximum because automatic Step-Ups still occur if the Contract Value is greater than the BDB.  For example, assume the GWB and BDB are equal to $5 million prior to a Step-Up.  Also assume that the GAWA percentage is 5% and the GAWA is $250,000.  If, at the time of Step-Up, the Contract Value is $6 million, a Step-Up will occur.  The GWB will remain at its maximum of $5 million but the BDB will be set equal to $6 million.  If an age band has been crossed and the GAWA percentage for the youngest Covered Life’s attained age is 6%, then the GAWA will be equal to $300,000 (6% x $5 million).
 
Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up. Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

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 the death of the sole Owner of a qualified Contract or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract while the Contract is still in force, this GMWB terminates without value.  Please see the information beginning on page  105 regarding the required ownership and beneficiary structure under both qualified and non-qualified Contracts when selecting the Joint For Life GMWB With Bonus and Annual Step-Up benefit.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the last surviving Covered Life, so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
 
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.
 

Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  Upon death of the last surviving Covered Life, all rights under the Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.

Spousal Continuation.  In the event of the Owner’s (or either joint Owner’s) death, the surviving spousal Beneficiary 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.
 
 
111

 
 
     
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and a GWB adjustment provision is in force on the continuation date then the provision will continue to apply in accordance with the applicable GWB adjustment provision rules above.  The GWB adjustment date will continue to be based on the original effective date of the endorsement or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age, as applicable.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, any GWB adjustment is null and void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the original Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the GAWA percentage will continue to be calculated and/or recalculated based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life and if the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age on the continuation date.  The GAWA percentage will not change on future Step-Ups.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the additional Income Options available on the Latest Income Date.
 
   
A new joint Owner may not be added in a non-qualified Contract if a surviving spouse continues the Contract.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated) if the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life.  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.  If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, the Contract cannot be continued without this GMWB.
 
Add another GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the spousal Beneficiary’s eligibility, and provided that this GMWB was terminated on the Continuation Date.

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination. This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
 
In surrendering your Contract, you will receive the Contract Value less any applicable charges and adjustments and not the GWB or the GAWA you would have received under this GMWB.
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
 
 
112

 
 
The date of death of the Owner (or either joint Owner), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB (continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee if the surviving spouse is a Covered Life);
 
The Continuation Date on a Contract if the spousal Beneficiary, who is not a Covered Life, elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.

Annuitization.

Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.

If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary and the spousal Beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Bonus.  The primary purpose of the bonus is to act as an incentive for you to defer taking withdrawals.  A bonus equal to 6% of the Bonus Base (defined below) will be applied to the GWB at the end of each Contract Year within the Bonus Period (also defined below) if no withdrawals are taken during that Contract Year.  The bonus enables the GWB and GAWA to increase in a given Contract Year (even during a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions).  The increase,
 
 
113

 
 
however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  This description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8.  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:

How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.

The bonus equals 6% of the Bonus Base, which is an amount that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract, as described immediately below.
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
     
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year.  Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
●            
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 6% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal (in a prior year), the GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment or BDB.
 
The Bonus is only available during the Bonus Period.  The Bonus Period begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement.  In addition, the Bonus Period will re-start at the time the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up so long as the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday.  (See example below.)
 
The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following (1) the effective date of the endorsement or (2) the most recent increase to the Bonus Base due to a Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
 
 
114

 
 
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.  Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start on a later Contract Anniversary if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
The purpose of the re-start provision is to extend the period of time over which the Owner is eligible to receive a bonus.  For example, assume this GMWB was added to a Contract on December 1, 2008.  At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2018 (which is the tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement).  If a Step-Up increasing the Bonus Base occurs on the third Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement (December 1, 2011), and the youngest Covered Life is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2021.  Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2023 (which is two years after the Bonus Period in this example expired) and that the youngest Covered Life is still younger than age 80 at that time, the Bonus Period would re-start on December 1, 2023, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2033.  (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix C for more information regarding the re-start provision.)
 
Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.


This is a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) that guarantees the withdrawal of a minimum annual amount for the duration of the life of the Owner (or, in the case of joint Owners, until the death of the first Owner to die) regardless of the performance of the underlying investment options.  This benefit may be appropriate for those individuals who are looking for a number of features, within the GMWB, that may offer a higher level of guarantee and who are not averse to allowing Jackson to transfer assets between investment options, on a formulaic basis, in order to protect its risk.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2010, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 8 for the bonus, example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment and example 12 for transfer of assets.  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”) if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners.  There are also other GMWB options for joint Owners that are spouses, as described elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
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).
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event the Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
Or
 
   
If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, until the earlier of (1) the death of the Owner (or any joint Owner) or (2) all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 
   
The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract (as explained below).
 
 
 
115

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

Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Owners 55 to 80 years old (proof of age is required) and may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary.  At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age is required for Good Order to add this GMWB to a Contract on a Contract Anniversary.  The Owner may terminate this GMWB on any Contract Anniversary but a request for termination must be received in writing in Good Order within 30 calendar days’ prior to the Contract Anniversary.  This GMWB may also be terminated by a Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  This GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (only one GMWB per Contract).  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.  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Issue Date.
 
When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added.

Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of the GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.  However, this GMWB may be continued by a spousal Beneficiary without the For Life Guarantee.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.

Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the Owner’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  If there are joint Owners, the GAWA percentage is based on the attained age of the oldest joint Owner.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:

Ages
GAWA Percentage
55 – 74
5%
75 – 84
6%
85+
7%
 
 
116

 
 
Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  If the GWB falls below the GAWA, the GAWA will be reset to equal the GWB.  This may occur, when over time, payment of guaranteed withdrawals is nearly complete and the GWB has been depleted.  For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA is reset to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is less than the GAWA after any withdrawal.  For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA will be reset to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is less than the GAWA at the end of a Contract Year.  The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  (There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
 
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
 
     
For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA is unchanged.  At the end of each Contract Year, if the GWB is less than the GAWA and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA is set equal to the GWB.
 

The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
117

 
 
  When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
 
   
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
     
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
 
        ● 
If the For Life Guarantee is in force, the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
 
       
If the For Life Guarantee is not in force, the GAWA is equal to :
 
 
         
The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal (see below), Or
 
 
          ● 
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GWB after the withdrawal, if less.
 
 
The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:

The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, Or
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

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 standard death benefit).  All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

If the age of any Owner is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  If the age at election of the Owner (or oldest joint Owner) falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
 
118

 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2014 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2013 and 2014 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

200 % Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.   (If this GMWB was added to your Contract before September 28, 2009, this endorsement provision was referred to as the “Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment” and the “GWB Adjustment”.)  If no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a 200% GWB adjustment.

The 200% GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:

 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) 70th birthday, Or

 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.

The 200% GWB adjustment is determined as follows:

 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the 200% GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
119

 
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 200% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 200% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 200% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 200% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the 200% GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the GMWB Death Benefit.  Once the GWB is re-set, this 200% GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, this 200% GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this 200% GWB adjustment provision.)

400 % Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after September 28, 2009 and no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the 400% GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a 400% GWB adjustment.

The 400% GWB Adjustment Date is the 20th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.  The 400% GWB adjustment is determined as follows:

 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the 400% GWB adjustment is equal to 400% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.

 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 400% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 400% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 400% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 400% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 400% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the 400% GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the 400% GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the GMWB Death Benefit.  Once the GWB is re-set, this 400% GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the 400% GWB Adjustment Date, this 400% GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of a 400% GWB adjustment provision.)

PLEASE NOTE: If you purchase this GMWB when you are 76 years old or older, you will be ineligible for the 400% GWB adjustment.  Since the 400% GWB Adjustment Date is the 20th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement, and since the Latest Income Date (on which all benefits under this GMWB terminate) for this annuity Contract is the Contract Anniversary on or next following the date on which the Owner attains age 95, the 400% GWB Adjustment will be of no benefit to you unless you are 75 years old or younger when you purchase this GMWB.

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.
 
             
     
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the highest quarterly Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).
 
 
With a Step-Up
   
The GWB equals the highest quarterly Contract Value (subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
             
     
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
             
       
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
             
       
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.
 
             

The highest quarterly Contract Value equals the highest of the quarterly adjusted Contract Values from the four most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversaries, including the Contract Anniversary upon which the Step-Up is determined.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Value equals the Contract Value on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary, net of any applicable premium taxes, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary.  When determining the quarterly adjusted Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary, the quarterly adjusted Contract Value will be determined prior to any automatic transfer, as required under this GMWB’s Transfer of Assets provision (see below), occurring on the Contract Anniversary.

Partial withdrawals will affect the quarterly adjusted Contract Value as follows:
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
 
 
121

 
 
Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary (11th Contract Anniversary if this endorsement is added to the Contract before September 28, 2009) following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.50% (1.20% if this endorsement is added to the Contract before September 28, 2009).  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  Please be aware that, if this endorsement is added to the Contract on or after September 28, 2009, election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.  While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  (Please see the “Bonus” subsection below for more information.)  Also know that you may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision (together with the GWB bonus provision, if this endorsement is added to the Contract on or after September 28, 2009) at the then current GMWB Charge. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.

Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

GMWB Death Benefit. Upon the death of the Owner (or death of any joint Owner) while the Contract is still in force, the Contract’s death benefit payable is guaranteed not to be less than the GMWB death benefit.  On the effective date of this GMWB endorsement, the GMWB death benefit is equal to the GWB.  With each subsequent Premium received after this endorsement is effective, the GMWB death benefit is recalculated to equal the GMWB death benefit prior to the premium plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5 million.

Partial withdrawals will affect the GMWB death benefit as follows:
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GMWB death benefit is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The GMWB death benefit before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             
 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
   
The GMWB death benefit is equal to the greater of:
 
             
       
The GMWB death benefit prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
             
       
Zero.
 
             

The GMWB death benefit is not adjusted upon Step-Up, the application of any bonus, or the application of the GWB adjustment.  The GMWB death benefit will terminate on the date the Contract Value is zero and no death benefit will be payable, including this contract’s basic death benefit or any optional death benefit (i.e., the Earnings Protection Benefit).  The GMWB death benefit will also terminate and will not be included in any applicable continuation adjustment should this GMWB be continued through Spousal continuation of a Contract.

Transfer of Assets. This GMWB requires automatic transfers between your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with the non-discretionary formulas defined in the Transfer of Assets Methodology found in Appendix D.  The formulas are generally designed to mitigate the financial risks to which we are subjected by providing this GMWB’s guarantees.  By electing this GMWB, you are giving control to us of all or a portion of your Contract Value.  By way of the non-discretionary formulas, we determine whether to make a transfer and the amount of any transfer.

Under this automatic transfer provision, we monitor your Contract Value each Contract Monthly Anniversary and, if necessary, systematically transfer amounts between your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account.  Amounts transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account will be transferred from each Investment Division/guaranteed fixed account in proportion to their current value.  Transfers from guaranteed fixed accounts will be subject to an interest rate adjustment, if applicable.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers from the GMWB Fixed Account.
 
 
122

 
 
Generally, automatic transfers to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts will occur when your Contract Value declines due to withdrawals or negative investment returns.  However, there may be an automatic transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account even when you experience positive investment returns if your Contract Value does not sufficiently increase relative to the projected value of the benefits, as reflected in the use of the GAWA and annuity factors in the Liability calculation under the Transfer of Assets Methodology (see Appendix D for the Liability formula, the calculation of which is designed to represent the projected value of this GMWB’s benefits).  In other words, any increase in the GAWA (due to, for example, a premium payment, a Step-Up, the application of any bonus or the application of the GWB adjustment) may also cause an automatic transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts.

For an example of how this Transfer of Assets provision and the non-discretionary formulas work, let us assume that, on your first Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 15.26, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, your Separate Account Contract Value is $95,000 and your Fixed Account Contract Value is $5,000.  Your Liability would then be $91,560, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor.  Using the Liability amount, a ratio is then calculated that determines whether a transfer is necessary.  Generally, if the ratio is lower than 77%, funds will be transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account.  If the ratio is more than 83%, then funds are transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account.

In this example, the ratio is 91.56, which is the Liability amount ($91,560) minus any GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($0), then divided by the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value ($95,000) and the Fixed Account Contract Value ($5,000).  Since the ratio is more than the 83%, funds are transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account.

Regarding the amount to be transferred when the ratio is above 83%, the amount is determined by taking the lesser of (a) the Separate Account Value plus the Fixed Account Contract Value; or (b) the Liability amount minus the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value, less 80% of the Separate Account Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by 20% (1-80%).  Applying this calculation to our example, (a) would be $100,000 [$95,000 + $5,000] and (b) would be $57,800 [($91,560 - $0 - 0.80*($95,000 + $5,000)) / (1 - .80)] so the lesser of the two and, therefore, the amount transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account is $57,800.

To determine how much of the $57,800 transfer is taken from the Fixed Account and how much from the Investment Divisions, we multiply the transfer amount by the proportion of the Contract Value in each the Fixed Account and the Investment Divisions before the transfer.  That is, of the $100,000 total Contract Value in our example, 5% of it was in the Fixed Account ($5,000 /$100,000) and 95% of it was in the Investment Divisions ($95,000/$100,000); therefore, $2,890 ($57,800 multiplied by 5%) is transferred from the Fixed Account to the GMWB Fixed Account and $54,910 ($57,800 multiplied by 95%) is transferred from the Investment Divisions to the GMWB Fixed Account.  After the transfer in this example, the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $57,800, the Separate Account Contract Value is $40,090 and the Fixed Account Contract Value is $2,110.

For more information regarding the example above and to see this Transfer of Assets Provision applied using other assumptions, please see Example 12 in Appendix C.  Please also see the Transfer of Assets Methodology in Appendix D, which contains the non-discretionary formulas.

By electing this GMWB, it is possible that a significant amount of your Contract Value – possibly your entire Contract Value – may be transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account.  It is also possible that amounts in the GMWB Fixed Account will never be transferred back to your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts.  If any of your Contract Value is automatically transferred to and held in the GMWB Fixed Account, less of your Contract Value may be allocated to the Investment Divisions, which will limit your participation in any market gains and limit the potential for any Step-Ups and increases in your GAWA.  If you are uncomfortable with the possibility of some or all of your Contract Value being automatically moved into the GMWB Fixed Account, this particular GMWB may not be appropriate for you.

Amounts transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account will be allocated to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts according to your most recent allocation instructions on file with us.  The automatic transfers under this Transfer of Assets provision will not count against the 15 free transfers in a Contract Year.  No adjustment will be made to the GWB, GAWA, GWB adjustment, GMWB death benefit or Bonus Base as a result of these transfers.  You will receive a confirmation statement reflecting the automatic transfer of any Contract Value to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Fixed Account.  A certain percentage of the value in your Contract, as explained above, may be allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with non-discretionary formulas.  You may not allocate additional monies to the GMWB Fixed Account.  The Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account is credited with a specific interest rate.  The interest rate initially declared for each transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account will remain in effect for a period of not less than one year.  GMWB Fixed Account interest rates for subsequent periods may be higher or lower than the rates previously declared.  The interest rate is credited daily to the Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account and the rate may vary by state but will never be less than 3%.  Please contact us at the Annuity Service Center or contact your representative to obtain the currently declared GMWB Fixed Account interest rate for your state.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
123

 
 
Contract charges deducted from the Fixed Account and Investment Divisions are also deducted from the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with your Contract’s provisions.  The deduction of charges may cause an automatic transfer under the Transfer of Assets provision. DCA, DCA+, Earnings Sweep and Automatic Rebalancing are not available to or from the GMWB Fixed Account.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers, withdrawals or deductions from the GMWB Fixed Account.  Transfers to and from the GMWB Fixed Account are automatic; you may not choose to transfer amounts to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.
Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner), so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.
 
 
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.
 
             
     
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA:
 
             
       
Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
 
       
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
 
     
For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA is unchanged.  At the end of each Contract Year, if the GWB is less than the GAWA and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA is set equal to the GWB.
 

Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  If you die, all rights under your Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no death benefit is payable, including the GMWB death benefit and 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
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 GMWB death benefit is void and will not be included in the continuation adjustment.
 
   
The GWB adjustment provisions are void.
 
   
The Bonus provision is void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted; otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.
 
 
 
124

 
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
The Liability factors for the transfer of assets formulas (see Appendix D) will continue to be based on the duration since the effective date of the GMWB endorsement.
 
   
If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of death.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to the “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
   
The spousal Beneficiary may terminate the GMWB on any subsequent Contract Anniversary.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).
 
   
The GMWB death benefit will be included in the calculation of the Continuation Adjustment.
 
   
The GMWB Fixed Account value will be transferred to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.
 
Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary’s eligibility – whether or not the spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge, when applicable, assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Contract Anniversary following the Company’s receipt of the Owner’s request for termination in Good Order;
 
The Income Date;
 
The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.
 
 
125

 
 
If this GMWB is terminated and the Contract remains in force, the GMWB Fixed Account value will be transferred to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.

Annuitization.

Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of the Owner (or, with joint Owners, the lifetime of joint Owner who dies first).  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the Owner (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if the Owner dies before the due date of the second payment.

If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the Owner’s (or oldest joint Owner’s) attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.

Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Bonus.  The description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8. The bonus is an incentive for you not to utilize this GMWB (take withdrawals) during a limited period of time, subject to conditions and limitations, allowing the GWB and GAWA to increase (even in a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to any Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  The bonus is a percentage of a sum called the Bonus Base (defined below).  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:

How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
 
126

 
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 7% and is based on a sum that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the “Bonus Base”), as described immediately below.
 
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
 
 
 
 
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement and will re-start at the time of a Bonus Base Step-Up if the Bonus Base increases due to the Step-Up and if the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the Owner’s (if Joint Owners, the oldest Owner’s) 80th birthday.The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement or the most recent Bonus Base Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
 
     
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.Therefore, it is possible for the Bonus Period to expire and then re-start at a later date if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
 
This GWB Bonus provision is terminated when this GMWB is terminated or if this GMWB is continued through Spousal continuation of a Contract; 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. Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 7% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment, or GMWB death benefit.

This is a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) that guarantees the withdrawal of a minimum annual amount for the duration of the life of the Owner and the Owner’s spouse regardless of the performance of the underlying investment options.  This benefit may be appropriate for those individuals who are looking for a number of features, within the GMWB, that may offer a higher level of guarantee and who are not averse to allowing Jackson to transfer assets between investment options, on a formulaic basis, in order to protect its risk.

PLEASE NOTE:  EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2010, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

The following description of this GMWB is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage, examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups, example 8 for the bonus, example 11 for the guaranteed withdrawal balance adjustment and example 12 for transfer of assets.

The election of this GMWB under a non-qualified Contract requires the joint Owners to be spouses (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) and each joint Owner is considered to be a “Covered Life.”

The Owners cannot be subsequently changed and new Owners cannot be added.  Upon death of either joint Owner, the surviving joint Owner will be treated as the primary Beneficiary and all other Beneficiaries will be treated as contingent Beneficiaries.  The For Life Guarantee will not apply to these contingent Beneficiaries, as they are not Covered Lives.

This GMWB is available on a limited basis under non-qualified Contracts for certain kinds of legal entities, such as (i) custodial accounts where the spouses are the joint Annuitants and (ii) trusts where the spouses are the sole beneficial owners, and the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant’s life who dies last.

Tax-qualified Contracts cannot be issued to joint Owners and require the Owner and Annuitant to be the same person.  Under a tax-qualified Contract, the election of this GMWB requires the Owner and primary Beneficiary to be spouses (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code).  The Owner and only the primary spousal Beneficiary named at the election of this GMWB under a tax-qualified Contract will also each be considered a Covered Life, and these Covered Lives cannot be subsequently changed.

In certain circumstances we may permit the elimination of a joint Owner Covered Life or primary spousal Beneficiary Covered Life in the event of divorce.  In such cases, new Covered Lives may not be named.

For tax-qualified Contracts, the Owner and primary spousal Beneficiary cannot be changed while both are living.  If the Owner dies first, the primary spousal Beneficiary will become the Owner upon Spousal Continuation and he or she may name a Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is not considered a Covered Life.  Likewise, if the primary spousal Beneficiary dies first, the Owner may name a new Beneficiary; however, that Beneficiary is also not considered a Covered Life and consequently the For Life Guarantee will not apply to the new Beneficiary.

For both non-qualified and tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:

The lifetime of the last surviving Covered Life if the For Life Guarantee is in effect;
 
   
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective when this GMWB is added to the Contract.
 
   
So long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals are guaranteed even in the event the Contract Value is reduced to zero.
 
Or
 
   
If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, until the earlier of (1) the death of the Owner (or any joint Owner) or (2) all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.
 
   
The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract (as explained below).
 
 
128

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

Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your Contract to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs.

This GMWB is available to Owners 55 to 80 years old (proof of age is required) and may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary.  The Owner may terminate this GMWB on any Contract Anniversary but a request for termination must be received in writing in Good Order within 30 calendar days’ prior to the Contract Anniversary.  This GMWB may also be terminated by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, who, upon the Owner’s death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB.  To continue joint GMWB coverage upon the death of the Owner (or the death of either joint Owner of a non-qualified Contract), provided that the other Covered Life is still living, the Contract must be continued by election of Spousal Continuation.  Upon continuation, the spouse becomes the Owner and obtains all rights as the Owner.

At least 30 calendar days’ prior notice and proof of age 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).  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 required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Internal Revenue Code.  Withdrawals exceeding the limit do not invalidate the For Life Guarantee, but cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

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 initial premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Issue Date.


When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary
The GWB equals Contract Value.
 
The GAWA is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of first withdrawal and equals the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  See the GAWA percentage table below.
 
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective on the Contract Anniversary on which the endorsement is added.

Premium (net of any applicable premium taxes) is used to calculate the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date.  If you were to instead add this GMWB to your Contract post issue on any Contract Anniversary, the GWB is calculated based on Contract Value on that date.  The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up, the application of the GWB adjustment or the application of any bonus), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void unless this GMWB is continued by a spousal beneficiary who is a Covered Life.  However, it is possible for this GMWB to be continued without the For Life Guarantee by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life.  Please see the “Spousal Continuation” subsection below for more information.

Withdrawals.  The GAWA percentage and the GAWA are determined at the time of the first withdrawal.  The GAWA is equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB prior to the partial withdrawal.  The GAWA percentage varies according to age group and is determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of the first withdrawal.  (In the examples in Appendix C and elsewhere in this prospectus we refer to this varying GAWA percentage structure as the “varying benefit percentage”.)  The GAWA percentage for each age group is:
 
 
129

 
 
Ages
GAWA Percentage
55 – 74
5%
75 – 84
6%
85+
7%

Withdrawals cause the GWB to be recalculated.  Withdrawals may also cause the GAWA to be recalculated, depending on whether or not the withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA, or for certain tax-qualified Contracts only, the RMD (if greater than the GAWA).  If the GWB falls below the GAWA, the GAWA will be reset to equal the GWB.  This may occur, when over time, payment of guaranteed withdrawals is nearly complete and the GWB has been depleted.  For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA is reset to equal the GWB, if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is less than the GAWA after any withdrawal.  For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA will be reset to equal the GWB if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect and the GWB is less than the GAWA at the end of a Contract Year.  The tables below clarify what happens in each instance.  RMD denotes the required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code for certain tax-qualified Contracts only.  (There is no RMD for non-qualified Contracts.)

For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract’s RMD without compromising the endorsement’s guarantees.  Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix C supplement this description.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, namely Contract Years versus calendar years, and because RMDs are subject to other conditions and limitations, if your Contract is a tax-qualified Contract, then please see “RMD NOTES” below for more information.

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the  GAWA:
 
 
Is unchanged while the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
 
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.
 
For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA is unchanged.  At the end of each Contract Year, if the GWB is less than the GAWA and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA is set equal to the GWB.

The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable.  You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year.  Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year.  The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and not cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated does not accumulate.

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below and Example 5 in Appendix C).  In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount.  The GAWA is also likely to be reduced.  Therefore, please note that withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable, in a Contract Year may have a significantly negative impact on the value of this benefit.
 
 
130

 
 
When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
 
The GWB prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see below), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
The GAWA is recalculated as follows:
 
 
If the For Life Guarantee is in force, the GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal is reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
 
 
If the For Life Guarantee is not in force, the GAWA is equal to :
 
         The GAWA prior to the partial withdrawal reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal (see below), Or
 
         For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GWB after the withdrawal, if less.

The Excess Withdrawal is defined to be the lesser of:

The total amount of the current partial withdrawal, Or
 
The amount by which the cumulative partial withdrawals for the current Contract Year exceeds the greater of the GAWA or the RMD, as applicable.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges and other charges or adjustments.  Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a guaranteed fixed account may be subject to an interest rate adjustment.  Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

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 standard death benefit).  All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, RMDs 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 tax-qualified and non-qualified Contracts, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 146 .

If the age of any Covered Life is incorrectly stated at the time of election of the GMWB, on the date the misstatement is discovered, the GWB and the GAWA will be recalculated based on the GAWA percentage applicable at the correct age.  If the age at election of either Covered Life’s falls outside the allowable age range, the GMWB will be null and void and all GMWB charges will be refunded.

 
RMD NOTES:  Notice of an RMD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form for such notice.  The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals.  Eligible withdrawals that are specified as RMDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Internal Revenue Code allows for the taking of RMDs for multiple contracts from a single contract.  You, as Owner, are responsible for complying with the Internal Revenue Code’s RMD requirements.  If your requested RMD exceeds our calculation of the RMD for your contract, your request will not be eligible for the waiver of any applicable charges (i.e., withdrawal charges) and we will impose those charges, which will be reflected in the confirmation of the transaction.  For information regarding the RMD calculation for your Contract, please contact our Annuity Service Center.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.
 
 
 
 
131

 
 
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code, RMDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis.  But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years.  Because the intervals for the GAWA and RMDs are different, the For Life Guarantee may be more susceptible to being compromised.  With tax-qualified Contracts, if the sum of your total partial withdrawals in a Contract Year exceed the greatest of the RMD for each of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year and the GAWA for that Contract Year, then the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.  (If your Contract Year is the same as the calendar year, then the sum of your total partial withdrawals should not exceed the greater of the RMD and the GAWA.)  Below is an example of how this modified limit would apply.
 
 
 
Assume a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30, and that there are no withdrawals other than as described.  The GAWA for the 2013 Contract Year (ending June 30) is $10.  The RMDs for calendar years 2012 and 2013 are $14 and $16, respectively.
 
 
 
If the Owner takes $7 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2013 and $8 in each of the two halves of calendar year 2014 , then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2014 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15.  Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the 2014 Contract Year is less than the higher RMD for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.
 
 
 
An exception to this general rule is that with the calendar year in which your RMDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70 1/2), however, you may take your RMDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary (see example below).
 
 
 
The following example illustrates this exception.  It assumes an individual Owner, born January 1, 1943 , of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
 
 
 
If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2013 RMD) until March 30, 2014 , he may still take the 2014 RMD before the next Contract Year begins, June 30, 2014 without exposing the GWB and GAWA to the possibility of adverse recalculation.  However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2014 RMD) after June 30, 2014 , he should wait until the next Contract Year begins (that is after June 30, 2015 ) to take his third RMD (the 2015 RMD).  Because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, taking two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).
 
 
 
Examples that are relevant or specific to tax-qualified Contracts, illustrating this GMWB, in varying circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus in Appendix C, particularly examples 4, 5, and 7.  Please consult the representative who is helping, or who helped, you purchase your tax-qualified Contract, and your tax adviser, to be sure that this GMWB ultimately suits your needs relative to your RMD.
 

Withdrawals made under section 72(t) or section 72(q) of the Code are not considered RMDs for purposes of preserving the guarantees under this GMWB.  Such withdrawals that exceed the GAWA will have the same effect as any withdrawal or excess withdrawal as described above and, consistent with that description, may cause a significant negative impact to your benefit.

200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.   (If this GMWB was added to your Contract before September 28, 2009, this endorsement provision was referred to as the “Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment” and the “GWB Adjustment”.)  If no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a 200% GWB adjustment.

The 200% GWB Adjustment Date is the later of:

 
The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 70th birthday, Or

 
The 10th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.

The 200% GWB adjustment is determined as follows:

 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the 200% GWB adjustment is equal to 200% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
 
 
132

 
 
 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 200% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 200% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 200% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 200% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 200% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the 200% GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the GMWB Death Benefit.  Once the GWB is re-set, this 200% GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, this 200% GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of this 200% GWB adjustment provision.)

400 % Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment.  If this GMWB was added to your Contract on or after September 28, 2009 and no withdrawals are taken from the Contract on or prior to the 400% GWB Adjustment Date (as defined below), then you will receive a 400% GWB adjustment.

The 400% GWB Adjustment Date is the 20th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement.  The 400% GWB adjustment is determined as follows:

 
On the effective date of this endorsement, the 400% GWB adjustment is equal to 400% of the GWB, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.

 
With each subsequent premium received after this GMWB is effective and prior to the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 400% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 400% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus 400% of the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

 
With each subsequent premium received on or after the first Contract Anniversary following this GMWB’s effective date, the 400% GWB adjustment is recalculated to equal the 400% GWB adjustment prior to the premium payment plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.  (See Example 3 in Appendix C.)

If no partial withdrawals are taken on or prior to the 400% GWB Adjustment Date, the GWB will be re-set on that date to equal the greater of the current GWB or the 400% GWB adjustment.  No adjustments are made to the Bonus Base or the GMWB Death Benefit.  Once the GWB is re-set, this 400% GWB adjustment provision terminates.  In addition, if a withdrawal is taken on or before the 400% GWB Adjustment Date, this 400% GWB adjustment provision terminates without value.  (Please see example 11 in Appendix C for an illustration of a GWB adjustment provision.)

PLEASE NOTE: If either Covered Life is 76 years old or older when this GMWB is purchased, the 400% GWB adjustment will be of no benefit.  Since the 400% GWB Adjustment Date is the 20th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this endorsement, and since the Latest Income Date (on which all benefits under this GMWB terminate) for this annuity Contract is the Contract Anniversary on or next following the date on which the Owner or either joint Owner (oldest Covered Life) attains age 95, the 400% GWB Adjustment will be of no benefit to you unless both Covered Lives are 75 years old or younger when you purchase this GMWB.
 
 
133

 
 
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.
 
If the premium payment is received after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the subsequent premium payment net of any applicable premium taxes; Or
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by 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.  See Example 3b in Appendix C to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.

Step-Up.  On each Contract Anniversary following the effective date of this GMWB, if the highest quarterly Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the GWB will be automatically re-set to the highest quarterly Contract Value (a “Step-Up”).

With a Step-Up
The GWB equals the highest quarterly Contract Value
(subject to a $5 million maximum).
 
 
If the Step-Up occurs after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:
 
   
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB, Or
 
   
The GAWA prior to Step-Up.

The highest quarterly Contract Value equals the highest of the quarterly adjusted Contract Values from the four most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversaries, including the Contract Anniversary upon which the Step-Up is determined.  The quarterly adjusted Contract Value equals the Contract Value on the Contract Quarterly Anniversary, plus any premium paid subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary, net of any applicable premium taxes, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken subsequent to that Contract Quarterly Anniversary.  When determining the quarterly adjusted Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary, the quarterly adjusted Contract Value will be determined prior to any automatic transfer, as required under this GMWB’s Transfer of Assets provision (see below), occurring on the Contract Anniversary.

Partial withdrawals will affect the quarterly adjusted Contract Value as follows:

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
 
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.


When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value is equal to the greater of:
 
 
The quarterly adjusted Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.
 
 
134

 
 
Upon Step-Up on or after the 5th Contract Anniversary (11th Contract Anniversary if this endorsement is added to the Contract before September 28, 2009) following the effective date of this GMWB, the GMWB charge may be increased, subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.86% (1.50% if this endorsement is added to the Contract before September 28, 2009).  You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Charge increase and may elect to discontinue the automatic step-ups.  Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.  Please be aware that, if this endorsement is added to the Contract on or after September 28, 2009, election to discontinue the automatic step-ups will also discontinue the application of the GWB bonus.  While electing to discontinue the automatic step-ups will prevent an increase in charge, discontinuing step-ups and, therefore, discontinuing application of the GWB bonus also means foregoing possible increases in your GWB and/or GAWA so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase.  (Please see the “Bonus” subsection below for more information.)  Also know that you may subsequently elect to reinstate the Step-Up provision (together with the GWB bonus provision, if this endorsement is added to the Contract on or after September 28, 2009) at the then current GMWB Charge. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order.

Please consult the representative who helped you purchase your Contract to be sure if a Step-Up is right for you and about any increase in charges upon a Step-Up.  Upon Step-Up, the applicable GMWB charge will be reflected in your confirmation.

GMWB Death Benefit. Upon the death of the Owner (or death of any joint Owner) while the Contract is still in force, the Contract’s death benefit payable is guaranteed not to be less than the GMWB death benefit.  On the effective date of this GMWB endorsement, the GMWB death benefit is equal to the GWB.  With each subsequent Premium received after this endorsement is effective, the GMWB death benefit is recalculated to equal the GMWB death benefit prior to the premium plus the amount of the premium payment, net of any applicable premium taxes, subject to a maximum of $5 million.

Partial withdrawals will affect the GMWB death benefit as follows:

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GMWB death benefit is equal to the greater of:
 
 
The GMWB death benefit before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.


When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA or RMD, as applicable
The GMWB death benefit is equal to the greater of:
 
 
The GMWB death benefit prior to the partial withdrawal, first reduced dollar-for-dollar for any portion of the partial withdrawal not defined as an Excess Withdrawal (see above), then reduced in the same proportion that the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal; Or
 
 
Zero.

The GMWB death benefit is not adjusted upon Step-Up, the application of any bonus, or the application of the GWB adjustment.  The GMWB death benefit will terminate on the date the Contract Value is zero and no death benefit will be payable, including this Contract’s basic death benefit or any optional death benefit (i.e., the Earnings Protection Benefit).  The GMWB death benefit will also terminate and will not be included in any applicable continuation adjustment should this GMWB be continued through Spousal continuation of a Contract.

Transfer of Assets.  This GMWB requires automatic transfers between your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with the non-discretionary formulas defined in the Transfer of Assets Methodology found in Appendix D.  The formulas are generally designed to mitigate the financial risks to which we are subjected by providing this GMWB’s guarantees.  By electing this GMWB, you are giving control to us of all or a portion of your Contract Value.  By way of the non-discretionary formulas, we determine whether to make a transfer and the amount of any transfer.

Under this automatic transfer provision, we monitor your Contract Value each Contract Monthly Anniversary and, if necessary, systematically transfer amounts between your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account.  Amounts transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account will be transferred from each Investment Division/guaranteed fixed account in proportion to their current value.  Transfers from guaranteed fixed accounts will be subject to an interest rate adjustment, if applicable.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers from the GMWB Fixed Account.

Generally, automatic transfers to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts will occur when your Contract Value declines due to withdrawals or negative investment returns.  However, there may be an automatic transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account even when you experience positive investment returns if your Contract Value does not sufficiently increase relative to the projected value of the benefits, as reflected in the use of the GAWA and annuity factors in the Liability calculation under the Transfer of Assets Methodology (see Appendix D for the Liability formula, the calculation of which is designed to represent the projected value of this GMWB’s benefits).  In other words, any increase in the GAWA (due to, for example, a premium payment, a Step-Up, the application of any bonus or the application of the GWB adjustment) may also cause an automatic transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts.

For an example of how this Transfer of Assets provision and the non-discretionary formulas work, let us assume that, on your first Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 15.26, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, your Separate Account Contract Value is $95,000 and your Fixed Account Contract Value is $5,000.  Your Liability would then be $91,560, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor.  Using the Liability amount, a ratio is then calculated that determines whether a transfer is necessary.  Generally, if the ratio is lower than 77%, funds will be transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account.  If the ratio is more than 83%, then funds are transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account.

In this example, the ratio is 91.56, which is the Liability amount ($91,560) minus any GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($0), then divided by the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value ($95,000) and the Fixed Account Contract Value ($5,000).  Since the ratio is more than the 83%, funds are transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account.

Regarding the amount to be transferred when the ratio is above 83%, the amount is determined by taking the lesser of (a) the Separate Account Value plus the Fixed Account Contract Value; or (b) the Liability amount minus the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value, less 80% of the Separate Account Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by 20% (1-80%).  Applying this calculation to our example, (a) would be $100,000 [$95,000 + $5,000] and (b) would be $57,800 [($91,560 - $0 - 0.80*($95,000 + $5,000)) / (1 - .80)] so the lesser of the two and, therefore, the amount transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account is $57,800.

To determine how much of the $57,800 transfer is taken from the Fixed Account and how much from the Investment Divisions, we multiply the transfer amount by the proportion of the Contract Value in each the Fixed Account and the Investment Divisions before the transfer.  That is, of the $100,000 total Contract Value in our example, 5% of it was in the Fixed Account ($5,000 /$100,000) and 95% of it was in the Investment Divisions ($95,000/$100,000); therefore, $2,890 ($57,800 multiplied by 5%) is transferred from the Fixed Account to the GMWB Fixed Account and $54,910 ($57,800 multiplied by 95%) is transferred from the Investment Divisions to the GMWB Fixed Account.  After the transfer in this example, the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $57,800, the Separate Account Contract Value is $40,090 and the Fixed Account Contract Value is $2,110.

For more information regarding the example above and to see this Transfer of Assets Provision applied using other assumptions, please see Example 12 in Appendix C.  Please also see the Transfer of Assets Methodology in Appendix D, which contains the non-discretionary formulas.

By electing this GMWB, it is possible that a significant amount of your Contract Value – possibly your entire Contract Value – may be transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account.  It is also possible that amounts in the GMWB Fixed Account will never be transferred back to your elected Investment Divisions/guaranteed fixed accounts.  If any of your Contract Value is automatically transferred to and held in the GMWB Fixed Account, less of your Contract Value may be allocated to the Investment Divisions, which will limit your participation in any market gains and limit the potential for any Step-Ups and increases in your GAWA.  If you are uncomfortable with the possibility of some or all of your Contract Value being automatically moved into the GMWB Fixed Account, this particular GMWB may not be appropriate for you.

Amounts transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account will be allocated to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts according to your most recent allocation instructions on file with us.  The automatic transfers under this Transfer of Assets provision will not count against the 15 free transfers in a Contract Year.  No adjustment will be made to the GWB, GAWA, GWB adjustment, GMWB death benefit or Bonus Base as a result of these transfers.  You will receive a confirmation statement reflecting the automatic transfer of any Contract Value to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.

Once you purchase your Contract, the non-discretionary formulas are fixed and not subject to change.  However, we reserve the right to change the formulas for Contracts issued in the future.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Fixed Account.  A certain percentage of the value in your Contract, as explained above, may be allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with non-discretionary formulas.  You may not allocate additional monies to the GMWB Fixed Account.  The Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account is credited with a specific interest rate.  The interest rate initially declared for each transfer to the GMWB Fixed Account will remain in effect for a period of not less than one year.  GMWB Fixed Account interest rates for subsequent periods may be higher or lower than the rates previously declared.  The
 
 
136

 
 
interest rate is credited daily to the Contract Value in the GMWB Fixed Account and the rate may vary by state but will never be less than 3%.  Please contact us at the Annuity Service Center or contact your representative to obtain the currently declared GMWB Fixed Account interest rate for your state.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

Contract charges deducted from the Fixed Account and Investment Divisions are also deducted from the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with your Contract’s provisions.  The deduction of charges may cause an automatic transfer under the Transfer of Assets provision. DCA, DCA+, Earnings Sweep and Automatic Rebalancing are not available to or from the GMWB Fixed Account.  There is no interest rate adjustment on transfers, withdrawals or deductions from the GMWB Fixed Account.  Transfers to and from the GMWB Fixed Account are automatic; you may not choose to transfer amounts to and from the GMWB Fixed Account.

Contract Value Is Zero.  With this GMWB, in the event the Contract Value is zero, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the death of the last surviving Covered Life, so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner will receive annual payments of the GAWA until the earlier of the death of the Owner (or the death of any joint Owner) or the date the GWB, if any, is depleted, so long as the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  The last payment will not exceed the remaining GWB at the time of payment.  If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, it will be set at the GAWA percentage corresponding to the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time the Contract Value falls to zero and the GAWA will be equal to the GAWA percentage multiplied to the GWB.

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.
 
 
For GMWBs issued before September 28, 2009, the GAWA:
 
   
Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is in effect; Otherwise
 
   
Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, or the GWB after, the payment.
 
 
For GMWBs issued on or after September 28, 2009, the GAWA is unchanged.  At the end of each Contract Year, if the GWB is less than the GAWA and the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the GAWA is set equal to the GWB.

Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.  Upon death of the last surviving Covered Life, all rights under your Contract cease.  No subsequent premium payments will be accepted.  All optional endorsements terminate without value.  And no death benefit is payable, including the GMWB death benefit and the Earnings Protection Benefit.

Spousal Continuation.  In the event of the Owner’s (or either joint Owner’s) death, the surviving spousal Beneficiary 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.  (The date the spousal Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order is called the Continuation Date.)
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, then the For Life Guarantee remains effective on and after the Continuation Date.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the For Life Guarantee is null and void.  However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, continuing the Contract with this GMWB is necessary to be able to fully realize the benefit of the For Life Guarantee.  The For Life Guarantee is not a separate guarantee and only applies if the related GMWB has not terminated.
 
 
137

 
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, the GMWB death benefit remains in force but will not be included in the continuation adjustment.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the GMWB death benefit is null and void and will not be included in the continuation adjustment.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and the GWB adjustment provision is in force on the continuation date then the provision will continue to apply in accordance with the applicable GWB adjustment provision rules above.  The applicable GWB adjustment date will continue to be based on the original effective date of the endorsement or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age, as applicable.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the GWB adjustment provisions are null and void.
 
   
For a surviving spouse who is a Covered Life, the Bonus provision will continue as permitted in accordance with the Bonus rules above.  The Bonus Period will continue to be based on the original effective date of the endorsement, the most recent Bonus Base Step-Up, or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age, as applicable.
 
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life, the Bonus provision is null and void.
 
   
Step-Ups will continue as permitted in accordance with the Step-Up rules above.
 
   
Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.
 
   
The Liability factors for the transfer of assets formulas (see Appendix D) will continue to be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age on the effective date of the endorsement and the duration since the effective date of the GMWB endorsement.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life and the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age.
 
   
If the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life and the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age on the continuation date.
 
   
The Latest Income Date is based on the age of the surviving spouse.  Please refer to the “Annuitization” subsection below for information regarding the availability of the “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” option if the GWB has been continued by a spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner.
 
 
138

 
 
   
The spousal Beneficiary may terminate the GMWB on any subsequent Contract Anniversary.  Such a request must be received in Good Order within 30 calendar days prior to the Contract Anniversary.
 
Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).  Thereafter, no GMWB charge will be assessed.
 
   
The GMWB death benefit will be included in the calculation of the Continuation Adjustment.
 
   
The GMWB Fixed Account value will be transferred to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.
 
Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary’s eligibility – whether or not the spousal Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.
 
For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see “Special Spousal Continuation Option” beginning on page 145 .

Termination.  This GMWB terminates subject to a prorated GMWB Charge, when applicable, assessed for the period since the last quarterly or monthly charge and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

The Contract Anniversary following the Company’s receipt of the Owner’s request for termination in Good Order;
 
The Income Date;
 
Conversion of this GMWB (if conversion is permitted);
 
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;
 
The Continuation Date if the spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without the GMWB; or
 
The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract has been terminated.

If this GMWB is terminated and the Contract remains in force, the GMWB Fixed Account value will be transferred to the Investment Divisions and guaranteed fixed accounts based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.

Annuitization.

Joint Life Income of GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for the lifetime of last surviving Covered Life.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA in effect at the time of election of this option.  This annualized amount will be paid in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  No further annuity payments are payable after the death of the last surviving Covered Life, and there is no provision for a death benefit payable to the Beneficiary.  Therefore, it is possible for only one annuity payment to be made under this Income Option if both Covered Lives die before the due date of the second payment.

If the GAWA percentage has not yet been determined, the GAWA percentage will be based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age at the time of election of this option.  The GAWA percentage will not change after election of this option.
 
 
139

 
 
Specified Period Income of the GAWA.  On the Latest Income Date if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, the Owner may choose this income option instead of one of the other income options listed in the Contract.  (This income option only applies if the GMWB has been continued by the spousal Beneficiary and the spousal Beneficiary is not a Covered Life in which case the spouse becomes the Owner of the Contract and the Latest Income Date is based on the age of the spouse.)

This income option provides payments in a fixed dollar amount for a specific number of years.  The actual number of years that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the GWB by the GAWA.  Upon each payment, the GWB will be reduced by the payment amount.  The total annual amount payable will equal the GAWA but will never exceed the current GWB.  This annualized amount will be paid over the specific number of years in the frequency (no less frequently than annually) that the Owner selects.  If the Owner should die before the payments have been completed, the remaining payments will be made to the Beneficiary, as scheduled.

The “Specified Period Income of the GAWA” income option may not be available if the Contract is issued to qualify under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.  For such Contracts, this income option will only be available if the guaranteed period is less than the life expectancy of the spouse at the time the option becomes effective.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page  32 for additional things to consider before electing a GMWB; when electing to annuitize your Contract after having purchased a GMWB; or when the Latest Income Date is approaching and you are thinking about electing or have elected a GMWB.

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 to accumulate assets.  Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

Bonus.  The description of the bonus feature is supplemented by the examples in Appendix C, particularly example 8. The bonus is an incentive for you not to utilize this GMWB (take withdrawals) during a limited period of time, subject to conditions and limitations, allowing the GWB and GAWA to increase (even in a down market relative to your Contract Value allocated to any Investment Divisions).  The increase, however, may not equal the amount that your Contract Value has declined.  The bonus is a percentage of a sum called the Bonus Base (defined below).  The box below has more information about the bonus, including:

How the bonus is calculated;
 
What happens to the Bonus Base (and bonus) with a withdrawal, premium payment, and any Step-Up;
 
For how long the bonus is available; and
 
When and what happens when the bonus is applied to the GWB.
 
The bonus equals 7% and is based on a sum that may vary after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the “Bonus Base”), as described immediately below.
 
 
 
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 RMD, 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; RMDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.
 
 
 
 
 
A withdrawal in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period (defined below) precludes a bonus for that Contract Year.
 
 
 
 
140

 
 
 
With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.
 
 
 
With any Step-Up (if the GWB increases upon 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 begins on the effective date of this GMWB endorsement and will re-start at the time of a Bonus Base Step-Up if the Bonus Base increases due to the Step-Up and if the Step-Up occurs on or before the Contract Anniversary immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday. The Bonus Period ends on the earlier of:
 
 
 
The tenth Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement or the most recent Bonus Base Step-Up, if later; or
 
 
 
The date the Contract Value is zero.
 
 
 
   
The Bonus Base will continue to be calculated even after the Bonus Period expires.Therefore, it is possible for the bonus Period to expire and then re-start at a later date if the Bonus Base increases due to a Step-Up.
 
 
This GWB Bonus provision is terminated when this GMWB is terminated or if this GMWB is continued through Spousal continuation of a Contract and the surviving spouse is not a Covered Life. If the surviving spouse is a Covered Life, 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. Conversely, any withdrawal, including but not limited to systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions, taken in a Contract Year during the Bonus Period causes the bonus not to be applied.
 
 
When the bonus is applied:
 
 
 
The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 7% of the Bonus Base.
 
 
 
If the Bonus is applied after the first withdrawal, the GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of the GAWA percentage multiplied by the new GWB or the GAWA before the bonus.
 
 
Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base, GWB adjustment, or GMWB death benefit.
 
 
Systematic Withdrawal Program. You can arrange to have money automatically sent to you periodically while your Contract is still in the accumulation phase.  You may withdraw a specified dollar amount (of at least $50 per withdrawal), a specified percentage or earnings.  Your withdrawals may be on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.  If you have arranged for systematic withdrawals, schedule any planned Step-Up under a GMWB to occur prior to the withdrawal.  Example 7 in Appendix C illustrates the consequences of a withdrawal preceding a Step-Up.  There is no charge for the Systematic Withdrawal Program; however, you will have to pay taxes on the money you receive.  In addition, withdrawals you make before you reach 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% tax penalty.  You may also be subject to a withdrawal charge and an interest rate adjustment.

If your Contract contains the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB, systematic withdrawals are only allowed on a pro-rata basis including all investment options (including the GMWB Fixed Account) or, in the alternative, may be requested from specified investment options, excluding the GMWB Fixed Account.  A specified withdrawal request may cause an automatic transfer from the GMWB Fixed Account on the following Contract Monthly Anniversary.

In addition, for Contracts with the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB, the percentage of the partial withdrawal taken from the GMWB Fixed Account cannot exceed the ratio of the GMWB Fixed Account value to the Contract Value.

We reserve the right to discontinue offering this program in the future.
 
 
141

 
 
Suspension of Withdrawals or Transfers. Jackson may be required to suspend or delay withdrawals or transfers from an Investment Division when:

 
a)  
the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);

 
b)  
trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

 
c)  
an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of securities in the Separate Account or determine the division value of its assets; or

 
d)  
the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of Owners.

The applicable rules and regulations of the SEC will govern whether the conditions described in (b) and/or (c) exist.

Jackson has reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from the guaranteed fixed accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account for the period permitted by law, but not more than six months.


The income phase occurs when you begin receiving regular payments from your Contract.  The Income Date is the day on which those payments begin.  The Income Date must be at least one year after your Contract is issued.  You can choose the Income Date and an income option.  The income options are described below.

If you do not choose an income option, we will assume that you selected Option 3 which provides a life annuity with 120 months of guaranteed payments.

You can change the Income Date or income option at least 7 days before the income date.  You must give us notice seven days before the scheduled income date.  Income payments must begin by your 90th birthday under a non-qualified Contract, unless otherwise approved by the Company, or by such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.  However, if you have not yet attained or passed age 90, you may elect to change your Income Date to the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 95th birthday.  Additionally, if you already attained or passed age 90 as of April 6, 2009 and have not yet started receiving income payments, you may elect to change your Income Date to the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 100th birthday.

Under a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity, required minimum distributions must begin in the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 (or such other age as required by law).  Distributions under qualified plans and Tax-Sheltered Annuities must begin by the later of the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which you retire.  You do not necessarily have to annuitize your Contract to meet the minimum distribution requirements for Individual Retirement Annuities, qualified plans, and Tax-Sheltered Annuities.  Distributions from Roth IRAs are not required prior to your death.
At the income date, you can choose whether payments will come from the guaranteed fixed accounts, the Investment Divisions or both.  Unless you tell us otherwise, your income payments will be based on the Allocation Options that were in place on the income date.

You can choose to have income payments made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.  However, if you have less than $5,000 to apply toward an income option and state law permits, Jackson may provide your payment in a single lump sum, part of which may be taxable as Federal Income.  Likewise, if your first income payment would be less than $50 and state law permits, Jackson may set the frequency of payments so that the first payment would be at least $50.

If the assumed net investment rate is a lower percentage, for example, 3% versus 4.5% under a particular Annuity Option, the initial payment will be smaller if a 3% assumed net investment rate applies instead of a 4.5% assumed net investment rate, but, all other things being equal, the subsequent 3% assumed net investment rate payments have the potential for increasing in amount by a larger percentage and for decreasing in amount by a smaller percentage.

Income Payments from Investment Divisions. If you choose to have any portion of your income payments come from the Investment Division(s), the dollar amount of your payment will depend upon three things:

 
1.
the value of your Contract in the Investment Division(s) on the income date;

 
2.
the 3% assumed investment rate used in the annuity table for the Contract; and
 
 
142

 
 
 
3.
the performance of the Investment Divisions you selected.

Jackson calculates the dollar amount of the first income payment that you receive from the Investment Divisions.  We then use that amount to determine the number of annuity units that you hold in each Investment Division.  The amount of each subsequent income payment is determined by multiplying the number of annuity units that you hold in an Investment Division by the annuity unit value for that Investment Division.

The number of annuity units that you hold in each Investment Division does not change unless you reallocate your Contract Value among the Investment Divisions.  The annuity unit value of each Investment Division will vary based on the investment performance of the Funds.  If the actual investment performance exactly matches the assumed rate at all times, the amount of each income payment will remain equal.  If the actual investment performance exceeds the assumed rate, your income payments will increase.  Similarly, if the actual investment performance is less than the assumed rate, your income payments will decrease.

Income Options. The annuitant is the person whose life we look to when we make income payments.  (Each description assumes that you are the Owner and annuitant.)  The following income options may not be available in all states.

Option 1 - Life Income.  This income option provides monthly payments for your life.  No further payments are payable after your death.

Option 2 - Joint and Survivor Annuity.  This income option provides monthly payments for your life and for the life of another person (usually your spouse) selected by you.  Upon the death of either person, the monthly payments will continue during the lifetime of the survivor.  No further payments are payable after the death of the survivor.  Upon the death of either person, the monthly payments will continue during the lifetime of the survivor.  No further payments are payable after the death of the survivor.

Upon the death of either person, the monthly payments will continue during the lifetime of the survivor.  No further payments are payable after the death of the survivor.

Option 3 - Life Annuity With 120 or 240 Monthly Payments.  This income option provides monthly payments for the annuitant’s life, but with payments continuing to the beneficiary for the remainder of 10 or 20 years (as you select) if the annuitant dies before the end of the selected period.  If the beneficiary does not want to receive the remaining scheduled payments, a single lump sum payment may be requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments (as of the date of calculation) discounted at an interest rate that will be no more than 1% higher than the rate used to calculate the initial payment.

Option 4 - Income for a Specified Period.  This income option provides monthly payments for any number of years from 5 to 30.  If the beneficiary does not want to receive the remaining scheduled payments, a single lump sum may be requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments (as of the date of calculation) discounted at an interest rate that will be no more than 1% higher than the rate used to calculate the initial payment.

Additional Options - Other income options may be made available by Jackson.


The death benefit paid to your beneficiary upon your death is calculated as of the date we receive all required documentation which includes but is not limited to due proof of death and a completed claim form from the beneficiary of record (if there are multiple beneficiaries, we will calculate the death benefit when we receive this documentation from the first beneficiary).  The death benefit paid will be the basic Contract death benefit.  Each beneficiary will receive their portion of the remaining value, subject to market fluctuations, when their option election form is received at our Home Office in Lansing, Michigan.

The effects of any GMWB on the amount payable to your beneficiaries upon your death should be considered before selecting a GMWB.  Except as provided in certain of the GMWB endorsements, no death benefit will be paid upon your death in the event the Contract Value falls to zero.  See the individual GMWB subsections earlier in this prospectus under “ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY” for information about how the GMWB endorsements work.

Death of Owner Before the Income Date. If you die before moving to the income phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death benefit.  If you have a joint Owner, the death benefit will be paid when the first joint Owner dies.  The surviving joint Owner will be treated as the beneficiary.  Any other beneficiary designated will be treated as a contingent beneficiary.  Jackson may limit permissible joint Owners to spouses.

Base Contract Death Benefit

The death benefit equals:

   1. 
current Contract Value; or

   2. 
the total premiums (less withdrawals, charges and premium taxes) compounded at 5% (4% if the Owner is age 70 or older at the date of issue); or

   3.  
the Contract Value at the end of the 7th Contract year PLUS all premiums paid since the 7th year (less withdrawals, withdrawal charges and premium taxes incurred since the 7th year) compounded at 5% (4% if the Owner is age 70 or older at the date of issue);

 -- whichever is GREATEST.

The death benefit under 2 and 3 will never exceed 250% of premiums paid, less partial withdrawals, charges and tax incurred.  The death benefit under 2 and 3 may not be available in all states.

From the time of death of the Owner until the death benefit amount is determined, any amount allocated to an Investment Division will be subject to investment risk.  This investment risk is borne by the beneficiary(ies).

The death benefit can be paid under one of the following death benefit options:

 
·
single lump sum payment; or

 
·
payment of entire death benefit within 5 years of the date of death; or

 
·
payment of the entire death benefit under an income option over the beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the beneficiary’s life expectancy; or payment of a portion of the death benefit under an income option over the beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the beneficiary’s life expectancy, with the balance of the death benefit payable to the beneficiary.

Under these income options, the beneficiary may also elect to receive additional lump sums at any time.  The receipt of any additional lump sums will reduce the future income payments to the beneficiary.

Unless the beneficiary chooses to receive the entire death benefit in a single sum, the beneficiary must elect an income option within the 60-day period beginning with the date Jackson receives proof of death and payments must begin within one year of the date of death.  If the beneficiary chooses to receive some or all of the death benefit in a single sum and all the necessary requirements are met, Jackson will pay the death benefit within seven days.  If the beneficiary is your spouse, he/she can continue the Contract in his/her own name at the then current Contract Value.

As Owner, you may also make a predetermined selection of the death benefit option to be paid if your death occurs before the income date.  If this Preselected Death Benefit Option Election is in force at the time of your death, the payment of the death benefit may not be postponed, nor can the Contract be continued under any other provisions of this Contract.  This restriction applies even if the beneficiary is your spouse, unless such restriction is prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code.  The Preselected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.

Earnings Protection Benefit (“EarningsMax”). The Earnings Protection Benefit is an optional benefit that may increase the amount of the death benefit payable at your death.  If you are 75 years of age or younger when your Contract is issued, you may elect the Earnings Protection Benefit when the Contract is issued.

If you are under the age of 70 when your Contract is issued and you elect the Earnings Protection Benefit then, the amount that will be added to the death benefit that is otherwise payable is 40% of the earnings in your Contract, subject to the limit described below.

If you are between the ages of 70 – 75 when your Contract is issued and you elect the Earnings Protection Benefit, the amount that will be added to the death benefit that is otherwise payable is 25% of the earnings in your Contract, subject to the limit described below.

For purposes of this benefit, we define earnings as the amount by which the sum of your Contract Value in the Separate Account and the Fixed Account exceeds the total premiums paid into the Contract (less prior withdrawals, withdrawal charges and premium taxes
 
 
144

 
 
applicable to the withdrawals).  If the earnings amount is negative, i.e., the total premiums paid into your Contract (adjusted for any withdrawals and associated charges) are greater than the Contract Value, no Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid.

In determining the maximum amount of earnings on which we will calculate your Earnings Protection Benefit, we do not take into consideration any earnings above 100% of the total premiums paid (adjusted for any withdrawals and associated charges).  Premiums paid in the 12 months prior to the date of your death (other than your initial premium if you die in the first Contract Year) are excluded.

As described below, if your spouse exercises the Special Spousal Continuation Option upon your death, we will increase the Contract Value at that time to reflect any otherwise payable Earnings Protection Benefit.  In addition, upon your spouse’s death we will pay an Earnings Protection Benefit if your Contract has accrued additional earnings since your death.  In calculating that benefit, we will not take into consideration earnings accrued on or prior to the Continuation Date (as defined in “Special Spousal Continuation Option” below).  In addition, the maximum earnings on which we calculate the Earnings Protection Benefit will be based solely upon premiums paid after the Continuation Date (adjusted for withdrawals and associated charges).  Premiums paid in the 12 months prior to the date of your spouse’s death are excluded.

You must elect the Earnings Protection Benefit when you apply for your Contract.  Once elected, the benefit may not be terminated.

No Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid:

1.  
if the Contract is in the income phase at the time of your death;

2.  
if there are no earnings in the Contract.

Moreover, no additional Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid if your spouse exercises the Special Spousal Continuation Option (described below) after your death and does not pay any premiums into the Contract after the Continuation Date.

If you elect this benefit, during the accumulation phase of the Contract we will deduct a charge of 0.20% of the daily net asset value of the Funds.  This charge is in addition to the other charges that are deducted from your Contract.

This charge continues if your spouse elects to continue the Contract under the Special Spousal Continuation Option.  Please note that we collect this charge even if your spouse does not pay any additional premium after the Continuation Date and therefore is not eligible for an Earnings Protection Benefit upon his or her death.  In addition, if your spouse pays little or no premium after the Continuation Date, the potential Earnings Protection Benefit may be much lower than it was prior to the Continuation Date.  We continue to collect this charge at the same rate because the level of this charge is based on the expected Contract Value and duration of all Contracts having the Earnings Protection Benefit and Special Spousal Continuation Option Endorsements.

Contract value is determined as of the date we receive complete claim forms and due proof of death from the beneficiary of record.

The Earnings Protection Benefit may not be available in your state or through the broker-dealer with which your financial advisor is affiliated.  See your financial advisor for information regarding the availability of the Earnings Protection Benefit.

Special Spousal Continuation Option. If your spouse is the beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract in his or her own name after your death, pursuant to the Special Spousal Continuation Option no death benefit will be paid at that time.  Instead, we will contribute to the Contract a Continuation Adjustment, which is the amount by which the death benefit that would have been payable (including the Earnings Enhancement Benefit, if any) exceeds the Contract Value.  We calculate this amount using the Contract Value and death benefit as of the date we receive complete forms and due proof of death from the beneficiary of record and the spousal beneficiary’s written request to continue the Contract (the Continuation Date).  We will add this amount to the Contract based on the allocation instructions at the time of your death subject to any minimum allocation restrictions, unless we receive other allocation instructions from your spouse.  The Special Spousal Continuation Option may not be available in your state or through the broker-dealer with which your financial advisor is affiliated.  See your financial advisor for information regarding the availability of the Special Spousal Continuation Option.

If your spouse continues the Contract in his/her own name, the new Contract Value will be considered the initial premium for purposes of determining any future death benefit, including any Earnings Protection Benefit, under the Contract.  The age of the surviving spouse at the time of the continuation of the Contract will be used to determine all benefits under the Contract.

If your spouse elects to continue the Contract, your spouse, as new Owner, cannot terminate certain optional benefits you might have elected.  However, a GMWB will terminate upon your death (and no further GMWB charges will be deducted), unless your spouse is
 
 
145

 
 
eligible for the benefit and elects to continue it with the Contract.  For more information, please see the individual GMWB subsections earlier in this prospectus under “Access To Your Money.”

The optional benefit that cannot be terminated by your spouse is the Earnings Protection Benefit.  The Contract and this optional benefit remain the same.  Your spouse will also be subject to the same fees, charges and expenses under the Contract as you were.  In particular, the charge for the Earnings Protection Benefit will remain the same even though, as discussed in “Earnings Protection Benefit” above, in certain circumstances the potential benefit will be lower after the Continuation Date.  Your spouse should weigh this cost against the potential benefits, in deciding whether to exercise the Special Spousal Continuation Option.

Even if your spouse pays premiums after the Continuation Date, no Earnings Protection Benefit will apply if your spouse is 76 or older when the Contract is continued, even though charges for the benefit are assessed.

If you have elected the Preselected Death Benefit Option the Contract cannot be continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, unless preventing continuation would be prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code.  The Preselected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.

Death of Owner On or After the Income Date. If you or a joint Owner die on or after the income date, any remaining payments under the income option elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the date of death.  If you die, the beneficiary becomes the Owner.  If the joint Owner dies, the surviving joint Owner, if any, will be the designated beneficiary.  Any other beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent beneficiary.  A contingent beneficiary is entitled to receive payment only after the beneficiary dies.

Death of Annuitant. If the annuitant is not an Owner or joint Owner and the annuitant dies before the income date, you can name a new annuitant, subject to our underwriting rules.  If you do not name a new annuitant within 30 days of the death of the annuitant, you will become the annuitant.  However, if the Owner is a non-natural person (for example, a corporation), then the death of the annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner, and a new annuitant may not be named.

If the annuitant dies on or after the income date, any remaining payments will be as provided for in the income option selected.  Any remaining payments will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the annuitant’s death.


The following is only general information and is not intended as tax advice to any individual.  Additional tax information is included in the SAI.  You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these general rules will apply to you if you purchase a Contract.


Tax-Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts. If you purchase the Contract as a part of a tax-qualified plan such as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), Tax-Sheltered Annuity (sometimes referred to as 403(b) Contract), or pension or profit-sharing plan (including a 401(k) Plan or H.R. 10 Plan), your Contract will be what is referred to as a tax-qualified contract.  Tax deferral under a tax-qualified contract arises under the specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) governing the tax-qualified plan, so a tax-qualified contract should be purchased only for the features and benefits other than tax deferral that are available under a tax-qualified contract, and not for the purpose of obtaining tax deferral.  You should consult your own adviser regarding these features and benefits of the Contract prior to purchasing a tax-qualified Contract.

If you do not purchase the Contract as a part of any tax-qualified pension plan, specially sponsored program or an individual retirement annuity, your Contract will be what is referred to as a non-qualified contract.

The amount of your tax liability on the earnings under and the amounts received from either a tax-qualified or a non-qualified Contract will vary depending on the specific tax rules applicable to your Contract and your particular circumstances.

Non-Qualified Contracts – General Taxation. Increases in the value of a non-qualified Contract attributable to undistributed earnings are generally not taxable to the Contract Owner or the annuitant until a distribution (either as a withdrawal, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, or as an income payment) is made from the Contract.  This tax deferral is generally not available under a non-qualified Contract owned by a non-natural person (e.g., corporation or certain other entities other than a trust holding the Contract as an agent for a natural person).  Also loans based on a non-qualified Contract are treated as distributions.
 
 
146

 
 
Non-Qualified Contracts – Aggregation of Contracts.  For purposes of determining the taxability of a distribution, the Code provides that all non-qualified contracts issued by us (or an affiliate) to you during any calendar year must be treated as one annuity contract.  Additional rules may be promulgated under this Code provision to prevent avoidance of its effect through the ownership of serial contracts or otherwise.

Non-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments. Any withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, is taxable as ordinary income to the extent it does not exceed the accumulated earnings under the Contract.  In contrast, a part of each income payment under a nonqualified Contract is generally treated as a non-taxable return of premium.  The balance of each income payment is taxable as ordinary income.  The amounts of the taxable and non-taxable portions of each income payment are determined based on the amount of the investment in the Contract and the length of the period over which income payments are to be made.  Income payments received after all of your investment in the Contract is recovered are fully taxable as ordinary income.  Additional information is provided in the SAI.

The Code also imposes a 10% penalty on certain taxable amounts received under a non-qualified Contract.  This penalty tax will not apply to any amounts:  (1) paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2; (2) paid to a beneficiary after you die; (3) paid if the recipient becomes totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); (4) paid in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually (or more frequently) for life (or life expectancy) or a period not exceeding the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the recipient and a beneficiary; (5) paid under an immediate annuity; or (6) which come from premiums made prior to August 14, 1982.

Beginning in 2013, the taxable portion of distributions from a non-qualified annuity Contract will be considered investment income for purposes of the new Medicare tax on investment income.  As a result, a 3.8% tax will generally apply to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts.  For 2013, these levels are $200,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $250,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $125,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately.  Owners should consult their own tax advisers for more information.

Non-Qualified Contracts Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires any nonqualified contract issued after January 18, 1985 to provide that (a) if an owner dies on or after the annuity starting date but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of that owner’s death; and (b) if an owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed within five years after the date of the owner’s death.

The requirements of (b) above can be considered satisfied if any portion of the Owner’s interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a “designated beneficiary” is distributed over the life of such beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary and such distributions begin within one year of that Owner’s death.  The Owner’s “designated beneficiary,” who must be a natural person, is the person designated by such Owner as a beneficiary and to whom ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death.  However, if the Owner’s “designated beneficiary” is the surviving spouse of the Owner, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner.

Tax-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments. The Code imposes limits on loans, withdrawals, and income payments under tax-qualified Contracts.  The Code also imposes required minimum distribution for tax-qualified Contracts and a 10% penalty on certain taxable amounts received prematurely under a tax-qualified Contract.  These limits, required minimum distributions, tax penalties and the tax computation rules are summarized in the SAI.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, will be taxable except to the extent they are allocable to an investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions).  In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified Contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.

Withdrawals – Tax-Sheltered Annuities. The Code limits the withdrawal of amounts attributable to purchase payments made under a salary reduction agreement from Tax-Sheltered Annuities.  Withdrawals can only be made when an Owner:  (1) reaches age 59 1/2; (2) leaves his/her job; (3) dies; (4) becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); or (5) in the case of hardship.  However, in the case of hardship, the Owner can only withdraw the premium and not any earnings.

Withdrawals – Roth IRAs. Subject to certain limitations, individuals may also purchase a new type of non-deductible IRA annuity, known as a Roth IRA annuity.  Qualified distributions from Roth IRA annuities are entirely federal income tax free.  A qualified distribution requires that the individual has held the Roth IRA annuity for at least five years and, in addition, that the distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on account of the individual’s death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home purchase, subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual or for a spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor.
 
 
147

 
 
Constructive Withdrawals – Investment Adviser Fees. Withdrawals from non-qualified Contracts for the payment of investment adviser fees will be considered taxable distributions from the Contract.  In a series of Private Letter Rulings, however, the Internal Revenue Service has held that the payment of investment adviser fees from a tax-qualified Contract need not be considered a distribution for income tax purposes.  Under the facts in these Rulings:  (i) there was a written agreement providing for payments of the fees solely from the annuity Contract, (ii) the Contract Owner had no liability for the fees, and (iii) the fees were paid solely from the annuity Contract to the adviser.

Extension of Latest Income Date. If you do not annuitize your non-qualified Contract on or before the latest income date, it is possible that the IRS could challenge the status of your Contract as an annuity Contract for tax purposes.  The result of such a challenge could be that you would be viewed as either constructively receiving the increase in the Contract Value each year from the inception of the Contract or the entire increase in the Contract Value would be taxable in the year of your Latest Income Date.  In either situation, you could realize taxable income even if the Contract proceeds are not distributed to you at that time.  Accordingly, before purchasing a Contract, you should consult your tax advisor with respect to these issues.

Death Benefits. None of the death benefits paid under the Contract to the beneficiary will be tax-exempt life insurance benefits.  The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity Contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments.  Estate or gift taxes may also apply.

IRS Approval.  The Contract, and all riders attached thereto, have been approved by the IRS for use as an Individual Retirement Annuity prototype.

Assignment. An assignment of a Contract will generally be a taxable event.  Assignments of a tax-qualified Contract may also be limited by the Code and ERISA.  These limits are summarized in the SAI.  You should consult your tax adviser prior to making any assignment of a Contract.

Diversification. The Code provides that the underlying investments for a non-qualified variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an annuity Contract.  Jackson believes that the underlying investments are being managed so as to comply with these requirements.  A fuller discussion of the diversification requirements is contained in the SAI.

Owner Control. In a Revenue Ruling issued in 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the contract owners could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under these variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the contract owners to be treated as the owners of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets.  Under the Contract, like the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, there will be no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between the contract owner and Jackson regarding the availability of a particular investment option and other than the contract owner’s right to allocate premiums and transfer Funds among the available sub-accounts, all investment decisions concerning the sub-accounts will be made by the insurance company or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Contract will differ from the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, in two respects.  The first difference is that the contract in the Revenue Ruling provided 12 investment options with the insurance company having the ability to add an additional 8 options whereas a Contract currently offers 12 Investment Divisions and at least one guaranteed fixed account.  The second difference is that the owner of a contract in the Revenue Ruling could only make one transfer per 30-day period without a fee whereas during the accumulation phase, a Contract Owner will be permitted to make up to 15 transfers in any one year without a charge.

The Revenue Ruling states that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.  Jackson does not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling with respect to the number of investment choices and the number of investment transfers that can be made under the contract without an additional charge should prevent the holding in the Revenue Ruling from applying to the owner of a Contract.  At this time, however, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance.  We reserve the right to modify the Contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Withholding.  In general, the income portion of distributions from a Contract are subject to 10% federal income tax withholding and the income portion of income payments are subject to withholding at the same rate as wages unless you elect not to have tax withheld.  Some states have enacted similar rules.  Different rules may apply to payments delivered outside the United States.

Eligible rollover distributions from a Contract issued under certain types of tax-qualified plans will be subject to federal tax withholding at a mandatory 20% rate unless the distribution is made as a direct rollover to a tax-qualified plan or to an individual retirement account or annuity.
 
 
148

 
 
The Code generally allows the rollover of most distributions to and from tax-qualified plans, tax-sheltered annuities, Individual Retirement Annuities and eligible deferred compensation plans of state or local governments.  Distributions which may not be rolled over are those which are:

 
(a)
one of a series of substantially equal annual (or more frequent) payments made (a) over the life or life expectancy of the employee, (b) the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the employee and the employee’s beneficiary, or (c) for a specified period of ten years or more;

 
(b)
a required minimum distribution; or

 
(c)
a hardship withdrawal.


We will pay company income taxes on the taxable corporate earnings created by this separate account product adjusted for various permissible deductions and certain tax benefits discussed below.  While we may consider company income tax liabilities and tax benefits when pricing our products, we do not currently include our income tax liabilities in the charges you pay under the contract.  We will periodically review the issue of charging for these taxes and may impose a charge in the future.  (We do impose a so-called “Federal (DAC) Tax Charge” under variable life insurance policies, but the “Federal (DAC) Tax Charge” merely compensates us for the required deferral of acquisition cost and does not constitute company income taxes.)

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including separate account assets that are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law.  These benefits reduce our overall corporate income tax liability.  Under current law, such benefits may include dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits which can be material.  We do not pass these benefits through to the separate accounts, principally because:  (i) the great bulk of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends that the separate account receives; (ii) product Owners are not the owners of the assets generating the benefits under applicable income tax law; and (iii), while we impose a so-called “Federal (DAC) tax charge” under variable life insurance policies, we do not currently include company income taxes in the charges Owners pay under the products.


Dollar Cost Averaging. You can arrange to have a regular amount of money periodically transferred automatically into the Investment Divisions and other guaranteed fixed accounts from the one-year guaranteed fixed account or any of the other Investment Divisions.  This theoretically gives you a lower average cost per unit for the Investment Divisions over time than you would receive if you made a one-time purchase.  The more volatile Investment Divisions may not result in lower average costs, and such divisions may not be an appropriate source of dollar cost averaging transfers in volatile markets.  Certain restrictions may apply.

Dollar Cost Averaging Plus (DCA+). The DCA+ account is a “source account” designed for Dollar-Cost Averaging.  The DCA+ account is credited with an enhanced interest rate.  If a DCA+ account is selected, monies in the DCA+ fixed account will be systematically transferred to the Investment Divisions or other guaranteed fixed accounts chosen over the DCA+ term selected.

Earnings Sweep. You can choose to move your earnings from the source accounts (only applicable from the 1-year guaranteed fixed account and the JNL/WMC Money Market Fund).  There is no charge for Earnings Sweep.

Rebalancing.  You can arrange to have Jackson automatically reallocate your Contract Value among Investment Divisions and the guaranteed fixed account periodically to maintain your selected allocation percentages.  Rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing Investment Divisions.

Free Look. You may return your Contract to the selling agent or Jackson within 20 days after receiving it.  Jackson will return the Contract Value in the Investment Divisions plus any fees and expenses deducted from the premiums allocated to the Investment Divisions plus the full amount of premiums allocated to the guaranteed fixed account and the GMWB Fixed Account.  We will determine the Contract Value in the Investment Divisions as of the date we receive the Contract (subject to state variations).  Jackson will return premium payments where required by law.  In some states, we are required to hold the premiums of a senior citizen in a Fixed Account during the free look period, unless we are specifically directed to allocate the premiums to the Investment Divisions.  State laws vary; your free look rights will depend on the laws of the state in which you purchased the Contract.
 
 
149

 
 
Advertising. From time to time, Jackson may advertise several types of performance for the Investment Divisions.

·
Total return is the overall change in the value of an investment in an Investment Division over a given period of time.

·
Standardized average annual total return is calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines.

·
Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return.  For example, if a Fund has been in existence longer than the Investment Division, we may show non-standardized performance for periods that begin on the inception date of the series, rather than the inception date of the Investment Division.

·
Yield refers to the income generated by an investment over a given period of time.

Performance will be calculated by determining the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period.  Performance will reflect the deduction of the insurance charges and may reflect the deduction of the annual contract maintenance charge and withdrawal charge.  The deduction of the Contract maintenance and/or the withdrawal charge would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.

Restrictions Under the Texas Optional Retirement Program (ORP). Contracts issued to participants in ORP contain restrictions required under the Texas Administrative Code.  In accordance with those restrictions, a participant in ORP will not be permitted to make withdrawals prior to such participant’s retirement, death, attainment of age 70 1/2 or termination of employment in a Texas public institution of higher education.  The restrictions on withdrawal do not apply in the event a participant in ORP transfers the Contract Value to another approved Contract or vendor during the period of ORP participation.  These requirements will apply to any other jurisdiction with comparable requirements.

Modification of the Contract. Only the President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of Jackson may approve a change to or waive a provision of the Contract.  Any change or waiver must be in writing.  Jackson may change the terms of the Contract in order to comply with changes in applicable law, or otherwise as deemed necessary by Jackson.

Confirmation of Transactions.  We will send you a written statement confirming that a financial transaction, such as a premium payment, withdrawal, or transfer has been completed.  This confirmation statement will provide details about the transaction.  Certain transactions which are made on a periodic or systematic basis will be confirmed in a quarterly statement only.

It is important that you carefully review the information contained in the statements that confirm your transactions.  If you believe an error has occurred you must notify us in writing within 30 days of receipt of the statement so we can make any appropriate adjustments.  If we do not receive notice of any such potential error, we may not be responsible for correcting the error.

Legal Proceedings.  Jackson and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of civil proceedings, including class actions, arising in the ordinary course of business. These include civil litigation proceedings, which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers, including a modal premium case, alleging misconduct in the sale of insurance products. We do not believe at the present time that any pending action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account, Jackson’s ability to meet its obligations under the Contracts, or Jackson National Life Distributors LLC’s ability to perform its contract with the Separate Account.

Unless otherwise specified, the following examples assume you elected a GMWB with a 5% benefit when you purchased your Contract, no other optional benefits were elected, your initial premium payment was $100,000, your GAWA is greater than your RMD (if applicable) at the time a withdrawal is requested, all partial withdrawals requested include any applicable charges, no prior partial withdrawals have been made, and the bonus percentage (if applicable) is 7%. The examples also assume that the GMWB and any For Life Guarantee have not been terminated as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus. If you elected a GMWB other than a GMWB with a 5% benefit, the examples will still apply, given that you replace the 5% in each of the GAWA calculations with the appropriate GAWA%. If you elected a GMWB with a bonus percentage other than 7%, the examples will still apply if you replace the 7% in each of the bonus calculations with the appropriate bonus percentage.
 
Example 1: At election, your GWB is set and your GAWA is determined based on that value.
         
 
§
Example 1a: If the GMWB is elected at issue:
   
¨
Your initial GWB is $100,000, which is your initial Premium payment.
   
¨
Your GAWA is $5,000, which is 5% of your initial GWB ($100,000*0.05 = $5,000).
 
§
Example 1b: If the GMWB is elected after issue or you convert to another GMWB, if permitted, when the Contract Value is $105,000 at the time the GMWB is elected or converted:
   
¨
Your initial GWB is $105,000, which is your Contract Value on the effective date of the endorsement. If you converted your GMWB when the GWB for your former GMWB was $120,000 and the Contract Value declined to $105,000 prior to the conversion date, the conversion to the new GMWB would result in a $15,000 reduction in the GWB.
   
¨
Your GAWA is $5,250, which is 5% of your initial GWB ($105,000*0.05 = $5,250).
         
 
§
Notes:
   
¨
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage:
     
-
Your GAWA% and GAWA are not determined until the earlier of the time of your first withdrawal, the date that your Contract Value reduces to zero, the date that the GMWB is continued by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, or upon election of a GMWB Income Option.
     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your initial Benefit Determination Baseline (BDB) is set equal to your initial Premium payment if the endorsement is elected at issue or your Contract Value if the endorsement is elected after issuance of the Contract.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base is set equal to your GWB at the time of election.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a 200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your initial 200% GWB adjustment is set equal to 200% times your initial GWB.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a 400% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your initial 400% GWB adjustment is set equal to 400% times your initial GWB.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your initial GMWB death benefit is set equal to your initial GWB.
         
Example 2: If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage, your GAWA% is determined on the earlier of the time of your first withdrawal, the date that your Contract Value reduces to zero, the date that the GMWB is continued by a spousal Beneficiary who is not a Covered Life, or upon election of the Life Income of a GMWB Income Option. Your GAWA% is set based upon your attained age at that time. Your initial GAWA is determined based on this GAWA% and the GWB at that time.
         
 
§
If, at the time the GAWA% is determined, your GAWA% is 5% based on your attained age and your GWB is $100,000, your initial GAWA is $5,000, which is your GAWA% multiplied by your GWB at that time ($100,000 * 0.05 = $5,000).
 
§
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your GAWA% will be re-determined based on your attained age if your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of a step-up is greater than the BDB.

 
C-1

 

Example 3: Upon payment of a subsequent Premium, your GWB and GAWA are re-determined. Your GWB is subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
         
 
§
Example 3a: If you make an additional Premium payment of $50,000 and your GWB is $100,000 at the time of payment:
   
¨
Your new GWB is $150,000, which is your GWB prior to the additional Premium payment ($100,000) plus your additional Premium payment ($50,000).
   
¨
Your GAWA is $7,500, which is your GAWA prior to the additional Premium payment ($5,000) plus 5% of your additional Premium payment ($50,000*0.05 = $2,500).
 
§
Example 3b: If you make an additional Premium payment of $100,000 and your GWB is $4,950,000 and your GAWA is $247,500 at the time of payment:
   
¨
Your new GWB is $5,000,000, which is the maximum, since your GWB prior to the additional Premium payment ($4,950,000) plus your additional Premium payment ($100,000) exceeds the maximum of $5,000,000.
   
¨
Your GAWA is $250,000, which is your GAWA prior to the additional Premium payment ($247,500) plus 5% of the allowable $50,000 increase in your GWB (($5,000,000 - $4,950,000)*0.05 = $2,500).
 
§
Notes:
   
¨
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage:
     
-
Your GAWA is recalculated upon payment of an additional Premium (as described above) only if such payment occurs after your GAWA% has been determined.
     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB is increased by the Premium payment.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base is increased by the Premium payment, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a 200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision:
     
-
If the Premium payment occurs prior to the first Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, your 200% GWB adjustment is increased by the Premium payment times 200%, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000. For example, if, as in Example 3a, you make an additional Premium payment of $50,000 prior to your first Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, and your 200% GWB adjustment value before the additional Premium payment is $200,000, then the 200% GWB adjustment is increased by 200% of the additional premium payment. The resulting 200% GWB adjustment is $200,000 + $100,000 = $300,000.
     
-
If the Premium payment occurs on or after the first Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, your 200% GWB adjustment is increased by the Premium payment, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000. For example, if you make an additional Premium payment of $50,000 after your first Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, and your 200% GWB adjustment value before the additional Premium payment is $200,000, then the 200% GWB adjustment is increased by 100% of the additional premium payment. The resulting 200% GWB adjustment is $200,000 + $50,000 = $250,000.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your GMWB death benefit is increased by the Premium payment, subject to a maximum of $5,000,000.
         
Example 4: Upon withdrawal of the guaranteed amount (which is the greater of your GAWA or your RMD), your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.
         
 
§
Example 4a: If you withdraw an amount equal to your GAWA ($5,000) when your GWB is $100,000:
   
¨
Your new GWB is $95,000, which is your GWB prior to the withdrawal ($100,000) less the amount of the withdrawal ($5,000).
   
¨
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since you did not withdraw an amount that exceeds your GAWA.
   
¨
If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($95,000 / $5,000 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 19 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.

Example 4b: If you withdraw an amount equal to your RMD ($7,500), which is greater than your GAWA ($5,000) when your GWB is $100,000 and the RMD provision is in effect for your endorsement:
   
¨
Your new GWB is $92,500, which is your GWB prior to the withdrawal ($100,000) less the amount of the withdrawal ($7,500).
   
¨
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since your withdrawal did not exceed the greater of your GAWA ($5,000) or your RMD ($7,500).
   
¨
If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 19 years to deplete your GWB ($92,500 / $5,000 per year = 19 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your

§
Notes:
   
¨
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB remains unchanged since the BDB is not adjusted for partial withdrawals.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base remains unchanged since the withdrawal did not exceed the guaranteed amount; however, no bonus will be applied to your GWB at the end of the Contract Year in which the withdrawal is taken.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision is terminated since a withdrawal is taken.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your GMWB death benefit is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal since the withdrawal did not exceed the greater of the GAWA or the RMD.
   
¨
If your endorsement does not include a For Life Guarantee or if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your new GWB.
   
¨
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract. In the case where your minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, your death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.
         
Example 5: Upon withdrawal of an amount that exceeds your guaranteed amount (as defined in Example 4), your GWB and GAWA are re-determined.

¨
However, if your GAWA% is eligible for re-determination and the step-up occurs after the initial determination of your GAWA%, the GAWA% will be re-determined based on your attained age (or the youngest Covered Life’s attained age if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option) if your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of the step-up is greater than your BDB.
     
-
If, in the example above, your BDB is $100,000 and the GAWA% at the applicable attained age is 6%:
       
·
Your GAWA% is set to 6%, since your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable)($200,000) is greater than your BDB ($100,000).
       
·
Your GAWA is equal to $12,000, which is your new GWB multiplied by your new GAWA% ($200,000 * 0.06 = $12,000).
       
·
Your BDB is recalculated to equal $200,000, which is the greater of 1) your BDB prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of step-up ($200,000).

If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision your bonus base is $100,000 just prior to the step-up, your bonus base is recalculated to equal $200,000, which is the greater of 1) your bonus base prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your GWB following the step-up ($200,000).
     
-
If your endorsement allows for the Bonus Period to re-start and you have not passed your Contract Anniversary immediately following your 80th birthday (or the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), your Bonus Period will re-start since your bonus base has been increased due to the step-up.

¨
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $90,000, which is equal to your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable).

After step-up, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 18 years to deplete your GWB ($90,000 / $5,000 per year = 18 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.

However, in this case, it is assumed that your initial Premium is $100,000. Your BDB would not be less than $100,000, implying that this would not be an opportunity for a re-determination of the GAWA%. In addition, if your BDB is $100,000 prior to the step-up, your BDB remains $100,000, which is the greater of 1) your BDB prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of step-up ($90,000).

Notes:
   
¨
Your endorsement may contain a provision allowing the Company to increase the GMWB charge upon step-up. If the charge does increase, a separate calculation would be recommended to establish if the step-up is beneficial.

If your endorsement contains a provision for automatic step-ups, your GWB will only step up to the Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) if the Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is greater than your GWB at the time of the automatic step-up.

If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and a provision for automatic step-ups, your bonus base will be re-determined only if your GWB is increased upon step-up to a value above your bonus base just prior to the step-up.

¨
If you request the withdrawal the day after the step-up, upon step-up, your GWB is set equal to $200,000, which is your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable). At that time, your GAWA is recalculated and is equal to $10,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($200,000*0.05 = $10,000). On the day following the step-up and after the withdrawal of $5,000, your new GWB is $195,000, which is your GWB less the amount of the withdrawal ($200,000 - $5,000 = $195,000) and your GAWA will remain at $10,000 since the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed your GAWA. If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($195,000 / $10,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
     
-
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and your bonus base is $100,000 just prior to the step-up, at the time of step-up, your bonus base is recalculated and is equal to $200,000, which is the greater of 1) your bonus base prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your GWB following the step-up ($200,000). Your bonus base is not adjusted upon withdrawal since the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed your GAWA.

If you request the withdrawal prior to the step-up, immediately following the withdrawal transaction, your new GWB is $95,000, which is your GWB less the amount of the withdrawal ($100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000) and your Contract Value becomes $195,000, which is your Contract Value prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal ($200,000 - $5,000 = $195,000). Upon step-up following the withdrawal, your GWB is set equal to $195,000, which is your Contract Value. At that time, your GAWA is recalculated and is equal to $9,750, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the step-up ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($195,000*0.05 = $9,750). If you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($195,000 / $9,750 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
     
-
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and your bonus base is $100,000 just prior to the withdrawal, then at the time of the withdrawal, your bonus base is not adjusted since the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed your GAWA. At the time of step-up, your bonus base is recalculated and is equal to

 
C-7

 

       
$195,000, which is the greater of 1) your bonus base prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your GWB following the step-up ($195,000).
       
-
If your endorsement allows for the Bonus Period to re-start and you have not passed the Contract Anniversary immediately following your 80th birthday (or the youngest Covered Life’s 80th birthday if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), your Bonus Period will re-start since your bonus base has been increased due to the step-up.
     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA% and your BDB is $100,000 just prior to the withdrawal, then at the time of the withdrawal, your BDB is not adjusted since the BDB is not reduced for partial withdrawals. At the time of step-up, your BDB is recalculated and is equal to $195,000, which is the greater of 1) your BDB prior to the step-up ($100,000) or 2) your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) at the time of step-up ($195,000).
         
 
§
Notes:
   
¨
As the example illustrates, when considering a request for a withdrawal at or near the same time as the election or automatic application of a step-up, the order of the transactions may impact your GAWA.
     
-
If the step-up would result in an increase in your GAWA and the requested withdrawal is less than or equal to your new GAWA, your GAWA resulting after the two transactions would be greater if the withdrawal is requested after the step-up is applied. This is especially true if your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA% and the step-up would result in a re-determination of the GAWA%.
     
-
If your endorsement contains an annual Step-Up provision and is effective on or after 12/03/2007, the step-up would result in an increase in your GAWA, and the withdrawal requested is greater than your new GAWA, your GAWA resulting after the two transactions would be greater if the withdrawal is requested after the step-up is applied.
     
-
Otherwise, your GAWA resulting from the transactions is the same regardless of the order of transactions.
   
¨
This example would also apply in situations when the withdrawal exceeded your GAWA but not your permissible RMD.
   
¨
Your endorsement may contain a provision allowing the Company to increase the GMWB charge upon step-up.
   
¨
If your endorsement contains a provision for automatic step-ups, your GWB will only step up to the Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) if the Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is greater than your GWB at the time of the automatic step-up.
   
¨
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision and a provision for automatic step-ups, your bonus base will be re-determined only if your GWB is increased upon step-up to a value above your bonus base just prior to the step-up.
   
¨
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage, the GAWA% is determined at the time of the withdrawal (if not previously determined).
     
-
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, the GAWA% is re-determined upon step-up if your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable) is greater than your BDB.
   
¨
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision is terminated at the time of the withdrawal.
   
¨
If your endorsement contains a GMWB Death Benefit provision, the GMWB death benefit would not be adjusted for the step-up since step-ups do not impact the GMWB death benefit, but your GMWB death benefit may be reduced for the withdrawal.
   
¨
If your endorsement bases step-ups on the highest quarterly Contract Value, the highest quarterly Contract Value is equal to the greatest of the four most recent quarterly adjusted Contract Values. The quarterly adjusted Contract Values are initialized on each Contract Quarterly Anniversary and are adjusted for any premiums and/or withdrawals subsequent to the initialization in the same manner as the GWB.
   
¨
If your endorsement does not include a For Life Guarantee or if the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
   
¨
Withdrawals taken in connection with a GMWB are considered the same as any other withdrawal for the purpose of determining all other values under the Contract. In the case where a minimum death benefit is reduced proportionately for withdrawals, the death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the withdrawal.
         
Example 8: Upon application of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus, your GWB and GAWA are re-determined. (This example only applies during the Bonus Period if your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision.)
         
 
§
Example 8a: If at the end of a Contract Year in which you have taken no withdrawals, your GWB is $100,000, your bonus base is $100,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
¨
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $107,000, which is equal to your GWB plus 7% of your bonus base ($100,000 + $100,000*0.07 = $107,000).
   
¨
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $5,350, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the application of the bonus ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($107,000*0.05 = $5,350).

 
C-8

 

   
¨
After the application of the bonus, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($107,000 / $5,350 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
 
§
Example 8b: If at the end of a Contract Year in which you have taken no withdrawals, your GWB is $90,000, your bonus base is $100,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
¨
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $97,000, which is equal to your GWB plus 7% of your bonus base ($90,000 + $100,000*0.07 = $97,000).
   
¨
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, which is the greater of 1) your GAWA prior to the application of the bonus ($5,000) or 2) 5% of your new GWB ($97,000*0.05 = $4,850).
   
¨
After the application of the bonus, if you continued to take annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA, it would take an additional 20 years to deplete your GWB ($97,000 / $5,000 per year = 20 years), provided that there are no further adjustments made to your GWB or your GAWA (besides the annual reduction of your GWB by the amount of the withdrawal) and that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. However, if you have elected a For Life GMWB and the For Life Guarantee is in effect, withdrawals equal to your GAWA could continue for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), even beyond 20 years, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
 
§
Notes:
   
¨
Your bonus base is not recalculated upon the application of the bonus to your GWB.
   
¨
If your endorsement contains a varying benefit percentage, your GAWA is recalculated upon the application of the bonus (as described above) only if the application of the bonus occurs after your GAWA% has been determined.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your GWB adjustment remains unchanged since the GWB adjustment is not impacted by the application of the bonus.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, your GMWB death benefit remains unchanged since the GMWB death benefit is not impacted by the application of the bonus.
   
¨
If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
   
¨
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB remains unchanged since the BDB is not impacted by the application of the bonus.
         
Example 9: For Life Guarantee becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement. At the time the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, your GAWA is re-determined. (This example only applies if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB that contains a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement.)
         
 
§
Example 9a: If on the reset date your Contract Value is $30,000, your GWB is $50,000, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
¨
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $2,500, which is equal to 5% of the current GWB ($50,000*0.05 = $2,500).
   
¨
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective, thus allowing you to make annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date. Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, it remains in effect until the endorsement is terminated, as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus, or upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse (unless your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option and the spouse continuing the Contract is a Covered Life in which case the For Life Guarantee remains in effect upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse).
 
§
Example 9b: If your Contract Value has fallen to $0 prior to the reset date, your GWB is $50,000 and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
¨
You will continue to receive automatic payments of a total annual amount that equals your GAWA until your GWB is depleted. However, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB. Your GAWA is not recalculated since the Contract Value is $0.
   
¨
The For Life Guarantee does not become effective due to the depletion of the Contract Value prior to the effective date of the For Life Guarantee.
 
§
Example 9c: If on the reset date, your Contract Value is $50,000, your GWB is $0, and your GAWA is $5,000:
   
¨
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $0, which is equal to 5% of the current GWB ($0*0.05 = $0).
   
¨
The For Life Guarantee becomes effective, thus allowing you to make annual withdrawals equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), provided that the withdrawals are

 
C-9

 

     
taken prior to the Latest Income Date. Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, it remains in effect until the endorsement is terminated, as described in the Access to Your Money section of this prospectus, or upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse (unless your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option and the spouse continuing the Contract is a Covered Life in which case the For Life Guarantee remains in effect upon continuation of the Contract by the spouse).
   
¨
Although your GAWA is $0, upon step-up or subsequent premium payments, your GWB and your GAWA would increase to values greater than $0 and since the For Life Guarantee has become effective, you could withdraw an annual amount equal to your GAWA for the rest of your life (or in the case of Joint Owners, until the first death of the Joint Owners or until the death of the last surviving Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option), provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
 
§
Notes:
   
¨
If your endorsement is effective on or after 03/31/2008, your reset date is the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the date you attain age 59 1/2 (or the date the youngest Covered Life attains, or would have attained, age 59 1/2 if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option). If your endorsement is effective prior to 03/31/2008, your reset date is the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following your 65th birthday (or the youngest Covered Life’s 65th birthday if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option).
         
Example 10: For Life Guarantee on a For Life GMWB with Joint Option. (This example only applies if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option.)
         
 
§
If at the time of the death of the Owner (or either Joint Owner) the Contract Value is $105,000 and your GWB is $100,000:
   
¨
If your endorsement has a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement, the surviving Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee will remain in effect or become effective on the Contract Anniversary on the reset date. Once the For Life Guarantee becomes effective, the surviving Covered Life will be able to take annual withdrawals equal to the GAWA for the rest of his or her life, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
   
¨
If your endorsement has a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement, the surviving Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee will remain in effect. The GAWA% and the GAWA will continue to be determined or re-determined based on the youngest Covered Life’s attained age (or the age he or she would have attained). The surviving Covered Life will be able to take annual withdrawals equal to the GAWA for the rest of his or her life, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
   
¨
The surviving spouse who is not a Covered Life may continue the Contract and the For Life Guarantee is null and void. However, the surviving spouse will be entitled to make withdrawals until the GWB is exhausted, provided that the withdrawals are taken prior to the Latest Income Date.
   
¨
Your GWB remains $100,000 and your GAWA remains unchanged at the time of continuation.
 
§
Notes:
   
¨
If your endorsement is effective on or after 03/31/2008 and has a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement, your reset date is the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the date that the youngest Covered Life attains (or would have attained) age 59 1/2. If your endorsement is effective prior to 03/31/2008 and has a For Life Guarantee that becomes effective after the effective date of the endorsement, your reset date is the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the youngest Covered Life’s 65th birthday.

If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB remains unchanged at the time of continuation.
         
Example 11: Upon application of the 200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment, your GWB is re-determined. (This example only applies if your endorsement contains a 200% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment or a 400% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision. If your endorsement contains a 400% Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, the examples below still apply, given that you replace the 200% in each of the calculations with 400%)
         
 
§
Example 11a: If on the 200% GWB Adjustment Date, your GWB is $160,000, your 200% GWB adjustment is $200,000, and you have taken no withdrawals on or prior to the 200% GWB Adjustment Date:

§
Notes:
   
¨
The 200% GWB adjustment provision is terminated on the 200% GWB Adjustment Date after the 200% GWB adjustment is applied (if any).
   
¨
Since you have taken no withdrawals, your GAWA% and GAWA have not yet been determined, thus no adjustment is made to your GAWA.
   
¨
No adjustment is made to your bonus base since the bonus base is not impacted by the 200% GWB adjustment.
   
¨
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, no adjustment is made to your BDB since the BDB is not impacted by the 200% GWB Adjustment.
   
¨
If your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision, no adjustment is made to your GMWB death benefit since the GMWB death benefit is not impacted by the 200% GWB adjustment.
         
Example 12: On each Contract Monthly Anniversary, funds are transferred to or from the GMWB Fixed Account via the formulas defined in the Transfer of Assets Methodology in Appendix D. The annuity factors referenced in this example are also found in Appendix D. (This example only applies if your endorsement contains a Transfer of Assets provision.)
         
 
§
Example 12a: If on your first Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 15.26, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, your Separate Account Contract Value is $95,000, and your Fixed Account Contract Value is $5,000:
   
¨
Your liability is equal to $91,560, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 15.26 = $91,560).
   
¨
The ratio is equal to 91.56%, which is the liability (net of the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value) divided by the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value [($91,560 - $0) / ($95,000 + $5,000) = 91.56%].
   
¨
Since the ratio (91.56%) is greater than the upper breakpoint (83%), funds are transferred from the Investment Divisions and the guaranteed fixed accounts to the GMWB Fixed Account. The amount of the transfer is equal to $57,800, which is the lesser of 1) the Separate Account Contract Value plus the Fixed Account Contract Value ($95,000 + $5,000 = $100,000) or 2) the liability (net of the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value) less 80% of the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by the difference between one and 80% [($91,560 - $0 - 0.80*($95,000 + $5,000)) / (1 - 0.80) = $57,800].
   
¨
Your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $57,800, which is your previous GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer ($0 + $57,800 = $57,800).
   
¨
Your Separate Account Contract Value is $40,090, which is your previous Separate Account Contract Value less the amount of the transfer multiplied by the ratio of the Separate Account Contract Value to the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value [$95,000 - $57,800 * ($95,000 / ($95,000 + $5,000)) = $40,090].
   
¨
Your Fixed Account Contract Value is $2,110, which is your previous Fixed Account Contract Value less the amount of the transfer multiplied by the ratio of the Fixed Account Contract Value to the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value [$5,000 - $57,800 * ($5,000 / ($95,000 + $5,000)) = $2,110].
 
§
Example 12b: If on your 13th Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 14.83, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $15,000, your Separate Account Contract Value is $90,000, your Fixed Account Contract Value is $10,000, your current allocation percentage to the Investment Divisions is 95%, and your current allocation percentage to the guaranteed fixed accounts is 5%:
   
¨
Your liability is equal to $88,980, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 14.83 = $88,980).
   
¨
The ratio is equal to 73.98%, which is the liability (net of the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value) divided by the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value [($88,980 - $15,000) / ($90,000 + $10,000) = 73.98%].
   
¨
Since the ratio (73.98%) is less than the lower breakpoint (77%), funds are transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account to the Investment Divisions and the guaranteed fixed accounts. The amount of the transfer is equal to $15,000, which is the lesser of 1) the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($15,000) or 2) the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value less the liability plus 80% of the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by the difference between one and 80% [($15,000 - $88,980 + 0.80 * ($90,000 + $10,000)) / (1 - 0.80) = $30,100].
   
¨
Your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, which is your previous GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value less the amount of the transfer ($15,000 - $15,000 = $0).
   
¨
Your Separate Account Contract Value is $104,250, which is your previous Separate Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer multiplied by your current allocation percentage to the Investment Divisions ($90,000 + $15,000 * 0.95 = $104,250).
   
¨
Your Fixed Account Contract Value is $10,750, which is your previous Fixed Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer multiplied by your current allocation percentage to the guaranteed fixed accounts ($10,000 + $15,000 * 0.05 = $10,750).

§
Example 12c: If on your 25th Contract Monthly Anniversary, your annuity factor is 14.39, your GAWA is $6,000, your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $100,000, your Separate Account Contract Value is $0, your Fixed Account Contract Value is $0, your current allocation percentage to the Investment Divisions is 95%, and your current allocation percentage to the guaranteed fixed accounts is 5%:
   
¨
Your liability is equal to $86,340, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 14.39 = $86,340).
   
¨
The ratio is not calculated since the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value is equal to zero.
   
¨
Since all funds are allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($100,000) is greater than the liability ($86,340), funds are transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account to the Investment Divisions and the guaranteed fixed accounts. The amount of the transfer is equal to $68,300, which is the lesser of 1) the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value ($100,000) or 2) the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value less the liability plus 80% of the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value, divided by the difference between one and 80% [($100,000 - $86,340 + 0.80 * ($0 + $0)) / (1 - 0.80) = $68,300].
   
¨
Your GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is $31,700, which is your previous GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value less the amount of the transfer ($100,000 - $68,300 = $31,700).
   
¨
Your Separate Account Contract Value is $64,885, which is your previous Separate Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer multiplied by your current allocation percentage to the Investment Divisions ($0 + $68,300 * 0.95 = $64,885).
   
¨
Your Fixed Account Contract Value is $3,415, which is your previous Fixed Account Contract Value plus the amount of the transfer multiplied by your current allocation percentage to the guaranteed fixed accounts ($0 + $68,300 * 0.05 = $3,415).
 
§
Notes:
   
¨
If your GAWA had not yet been determined prior to the transfer of assets calculation, the GAWA used in the liability calculation will be based on the GAWA% for your attained age (or the attained age of the youngest Covered Life if your endorsement is a For Life GMWB with Joint Option) at the time of the calculation multiplied by your GWB at that time.
   
¨
The amount transferred from each Investment Division and guaranteed fixed account to the GMWB Fixed Account will be in proportion to their current value. The amount transferred to each Investment Division and guaranteed fixed account will be based on your most current premium allocation instructions.

Funds transferred out of the guaranteed fixed account(s) will be subject to an interest rate adjustment (if applicable).

LIFEGUARD SELECT GMWB
AND LIFEGUARD SELECT WITH JOINT OPTION GMWB
TRANSFER OF ASSETS METHODOLOGY
 
On each Contract Monthly Anniversary, transfers to or from the GMWB Fixed Account will be determined based on the formulas defined below.
 
Liability = GAWA x annuity factor
   
 
The Liability calculated in the above formula is designed to represent the projected value of this GMWB’s benefits. If the GAWA% has not yet been determined, the GAWA used in the Liability calculation will be based on the GAWA% corresponding to the Owner’s (or oldest Joint Owner’s) attained age at the time the Liability is calculated, multiplied by the GWB at that time.
 
 
The tables of annuity factors (as shown below) are set at election of the LifeGuard Select GMWB or the LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB, as applicable, and do not change.
 
Ratio = (Liability – GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value) ¸ (Separate Account Contract Value + Fixed Account Contract Value)
   
 
If the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value is equal to zero, the Ratio will not be calculated.
 
The transfer amount is determined as follows:

 
If the Ratio is less than the lower breakpoint of 77% or if the GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value is greater than the Liability and all funds are allocated to the GMWB Fixed Account, the amount transferred from the GMWB Fixed Account is equal to the lesser of:
 
 
1.
The GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value; or
 
2.
(GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value + 80% x (Separate Account Contract Value + Fixed Account Contract Value) – Liability) ¸ (1-80%).
     
 
If the Ratio is greater than the upper breakpoint of 83%, the amount transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account is equal to the lesser of:
     
 
1.
Separate Account Contract Value + Fixed Account Contract Value; or
 
2.
(Liability – GMWB Fixed Account Contract Value – 80% x (Separate Account Contract Value + Fixed Account Contract Value)) ¸ (1-80%).
   
 
Otherwise, no funds are transferred.

* The age of the youngest Covered Life as of the effective date of the endorsement or the most recent Contract Anniversary.  A Covered Life aged 55-65 on the effective date of the endorsement will be assumed to be age 65 on the effective date of the endorsement for the purpose of determining the applicable annuity factor.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
 
The tables reflect the accumulation unit values for each Investment Division for the beginning and end of the periods indicated, and the number of accumulation units outstanding as of the end of the periods indicated – for each of a base Contract (with no optional endorsements) and for each Contract with the most expensive combination of optional endorsements (through the end of the most recent period).  The tables do not provide partial year information.  The tables provide accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding only if that information is available throughout the period.  Where accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding are unavailable, either because of a partial year or a Fund not being offered, a “N/A” is provided.
 
This information derives from the financial statements of the Separate Account, which together constitute the Separate Account’s condensed financial information.  The annualized charge for your Contract may fall in between the charge for a base Contract and a Contract with the most expensive combination of optional endorsements, and complete condensed financial information about the Separate Account is available in the SAI.  Contact the Annuity Service Center to request your copy free of charge, and contact information is on the cover page of the prospectus.  Also, please ask about the more timely accumulation unit values that are available for each Investment Division.

Standard & Poor’s  Financial Services LLC, SPIAS, and their affiliates (collectively S&P), and any third-party providers, as well as their directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents (collectively with S&P,  S&P Parties) do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, adequacy or timeliness of any information, including ratings and valuations, and are not responsible for errors and omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of such information, and S&P Parties shall have no liability for any errors, omission, or interruptions therein (negligent or otherwise), regardless of the cause, or for the results obtained from the use of such information. S&P PARTIES DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. In no event shall S&P Parties be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, compensatory, punitive, special or consequential damages, costs, expenses, legal fees, or losses (including, without limitation, lost income or lost profits and opportunity costs or losses caused by negligence) in connection with any use of the information contained in this document even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

S&P’s credit ratings are statements of opinion as of the date they are expressed and not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell any securities or to make any investment decisions.  S&P credit ratings should not be relied on when making any investment or other business decision.  S&P’s opinions and analyses do not address the suitability of any security.  S&P does not act as a fiduciary or an investment advisor, except where registered as such. While S&P has obtained information from sources they believe to be reliable, S&P does not perform an audit and undertakes no duty of due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives.

To the extent that regulatory authorities allow a rating agency to acknowledge in one jurisdiction a rating issued in another jurisdiction for certain regulatory purposes, S&P reserves the right to assign, withdraw or suspend such acknowledgement at any time and in its sole discretion. S&P Parties disclaim any duty whatsoever arising out of the assignment, withdrawal or suspension of an acknowledgment as well as any liability for any damage alleged to have been suffered on account thereof.

S&P keeps certain activities of its business units separate from each other in order to preserve the independence and objectivity of their respective activities. As a result, certain business units of S&P may have information that is not available to other S&P business units. S&P has established policies and procedures to maintain the confidentiality of certain non-public information received in connection with each analytical process.

S&P may receive compensation for its ratings and certain analyses, normally from issuers or underwriters of securities or from obligors. S&P reserves the right to disseminate its opinions and analyses. S&P's public ratings and analyses are made available on its Web sites, www.standardandpoors.com (free of charge), and www.ratingsdirect.com and www.globalcreditportal.com (subscription), and may be distributed through other means, including via S&P publications and third party redistributors. Additional information about our ratings fees is available at www.standardandpoors.com/usratingsfees.

Based on a universe of funds provided to SPIAS, SPIAS may recommend for investment certain funds to which S&P licenses certain intellectual property or otherwise has a financial interest, including exchange-traded funds whose investment objective is to substantially replicate the returns of a proprietary index of S&P Dow Jones Indices, such as the S&P 500. SPIAS recommends these funds for investment based on asset allocation, sector representation, liquidity and other factors; however, SPIAS has a potential conflict of interest with respect to the inclusion of these funds.  In cases where S&P is paid fees that are tied to the amount of assets that are invested in the fund, investment in the fund will generally result in S&P earning compensation in addition to the fees received by SPIAS in connection with its provision of services.  In certain cases there may be alternative funds that are available for investment that will provide investors substantially similar exposure to the asset class or sector.

S&P provides a wide range of services to, or relating to, many organizations, including issuers of securities, investment advisers, broker-dealers, investment banks, other financial institutions and financial intermediaries, and accordingly may receive fees or other economic benefits from those organizations, including organizations whose securities or services they may recommend, rate, include in model portfolios, evaluate or otherwise address.

SPIAS may consider research and other information from affiliates in making its investment recommendations. The investment policies of certain portfolios specifically state that among the information SPIAS will consider in evaluating a security are the credit ratings assigned by S&P.  SPIAS does not consider the ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies. Credit rating criteria and scales may differ among credit rating agencies. Ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies may reflect more or less favorable opinions of creditworthiness than ratings assigned by S&P.

Services

Jackson keeps the assets of the Separate Account.  Jackson holds all cash of the Separate Account and attends to the collection of proceeds of shares of the underlying Funds bought and sold by the Separate Account.

The financial statements of Jackson National Separate Account - I and Jackson National Life Insurance Company for the periods indicated have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.  KPMG LLP is located at Aon Center, 200 East Randolph Drive, Suite 5500, Chicago, Illinois 60601.

Jackson is the parent of Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”), the Funds’ investment adviser and administrator.  Pursuant to an agreement between Jackson and JNAM, JNAM provides certain administrative services with respect to the Separate Account, including separate account administration services and financial and accounting services.  For the past three years, Jackson paid $349,200 in 2010, $430,000 in 2011, and $450,000 in 2012 for the services provided by JNAM to Jackson.

Purchase of Securities Being Offered

The Contracts will be sold by licensed insurance agents in states where the Contracts may be lawfully sold.  The agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers that are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Underwriters

The Contracts are offered continuously and are distributed by Jackson National Life Distributors LLC(JNLD), 7601 Technology Way, Denver, Colorado 80237.  JNLD is a subsidiary of Jackson.

For Perspective, the aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to broker/dealers was: $4,343,440 in 2010 , $ 4,789,454 in 2011 and $5,009,957 in 2012 .  JNLD did not retain any portion of the commissions.

Calculation of Performance

When Jackson advertises performance for an Investment Division (except the JNL/WMC Money Market Division), we will include quotations of standardized average annual total return to facilitate comparison with standardized average annual total return advertised by other variable annuity separate accounts.  Standardized average annual total return for an Investment Division will be shown for periods beginning on the date the Investment Division first invested in the corresponding Fund.  We will calculate standardized average annual total return according to the standard methods prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Standardized average annual total return for a specific period is calculated by taking a hypothetical $1,000 investment in an Investment Division at the offering on the first day of the period ("initial investment") and computing the ending redeemable value ("redeemable value") of that investment at the end of the period.  The redeemable value is then divided by the initial investment and expressed as a percentage, carried to at least the nearest hundredth of a percent.  Standardized average annual total return is annualized and reflects the deduction of the insurance charges and the Contract maintenance charge.  The redeemable value also reflects the effect of any applicable withdrawal charge that may be imposed at the end of the period.  No deduction is made for premium taxes, which may be assessed by certain states.

Jackson may also advertise non-standardized total return on an annualized and cumulative basis. Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required to be presented or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return.  The Contract is designed for long-term investment, therefore Jackson believes that non-standardized total return that does not reflect the deduction of any applicable withdrawal charge may be useful to investors.  Reflecting the deduction of the withdrawal charge decreases the level of performance advertised.  Non-standardized total return may also assume a larger initial investment, which more closely approximates the size of a typical Contract.

Standardized average annual total return quotations will be current to the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the date on which an advertisement is submitted for publication.  Both standardized average annual total return quotations and non-standardized total return quotations will be based on rolling calendar quarters and will cover at least periods of one, five, and ten years, or a period covering the time the Investment Division has been in existence, if it has not been in existence for one of the prescribed periods.  If the corresponding Fund has been in existence for longer than the Investment Division, the non-standardized total return quotations will show the investment performance the Investment Division would have achieved (reduced by the applicable charges) had it been invested in the Fund for the period quoted.

Quotations of standardized average annual total return and non-standardized total return are based upon historical earnings and will fluctuate.  Any quotation of performance should not be considered a guarantee of future performance.  Factors affecting the performance of an Investment Division and its corresponding Fund include general market conditions, operating expenses and investment management. An owner’s withdrawal value upon surrender of a Contract may be more or less than original cost.

Jackson may advertise the current annualized yield for a 30-day period for an Investment Division.  The annualized yield of an Investment Division refers to the income generated by the Investment Division over a specified 30-day period.  Because this yield is annualized, the yield generated by an Investment Division during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated each 30-day period.  The yield is computed by dividing the net investment income per accumulation unit earned during the period by the price per unit on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:

 
Where:

a
=
net investment income earned during the period by the Fund attributable to shares owned by the Investment Division.
b
=
expenses for the Investment Division accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
c
=
the average daily number of accumulation units outstanding during the period.
d
=
the maximum offering price per accumulation unit on the last day of the period.

The maximum withdrawal charge is 7%.

Net investment income will be determined in accordance with rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accrued expenses will include all recurring fees that are charged to all Contracts.
Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the Separate Account, the yield for an Investment Division will be lower than the yield for the corresponding Fund.  The yield on amounts held in the Investment Division normally will fluctuate over time.  Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return.  An Investment Division’s actual yield will be affected by the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the Fund and the Fund operating expenses.

Any current yield quotations of the JNL/WMC Money Market Division will consist of a seven calendar day historical yield, carried at least to the nearest hundredth of a percent.  We may advertise yield for the Division based on different time periods, but we will accompany it with a yield quotation based on a seven day calendar period.  The JNL/WMC Money Market Division’s yield will be calculated by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one accumulation unit at the beginning of the base period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from Contracts, and dividing the net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return and multiplying the base period return by (365/7).  The JNL/WMC Money Market Division’s effective yield is computed similarly but includes the effect of assumed compounding on an annualized basis of the current yield quotations of the Division.

The JNL/WMC Money Market Division’s yield and effective yield will fluctuate daily.  Actual yields will depend on factors such as the type of instruments in the Fund’s portfolio, portfolio quality and average maturity, changes in interest rates, and the Fund’s expenses.  Although the Investment Division determines its yield on the basis of a seven calendar day period, it may use a different time period on occasion.  The yield quotes may reflect the expense limitations described in the Fund’s Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information.  There is no assurance that the yields quoted on any given occasion will be maintained for any period of time and there is no guarantee that the net asset values will remain constant.  It should be noted that neither a Contract owner’s investment in the JNL/WMC Money Market Division nor that Division’s investment in the JNL/WMC Money Market Fund, is guaranteed or insured. Yields of other money market Funds may not be comparable if a different base or another method of calculation is used.

Additional Tax Information

NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN SHOULD NOT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE ADVICE OF A PERSONAL TAX ADVISER.  JACKSON DOES NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX STATUS OF ANY CONTRACT OR ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE CONTRACTS.  PURCHASERS BEAR THE COMPLETE RISK THAT THE CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE TREATED AS "ANNUITY CONTRACTS" UNDER FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS.  IT SHOULD BE FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND THAT OTHER SPECIAL RULES MAY BE APPLICABLE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.  MOREOVER, NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER TAX LAWS OR TO COMPARE THE TAX TREATMENT OF THE CONTRACTS TO THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY OTHER INVESTMENT.

Jackson's Tax Status

Jackson is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  For federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from Jackson and its operations form a part of Jackson.

Taxation of Annuity Contracts in General

Section 72 of the Code governs the taxation of annuities in general.  An individual owner is not taxed on increases in the value of a Contract until distribution occurs, either in the form of a withdrawal or as annuity payments under the annuity option elected.  For a withdrawal received as a total surrender (total redemption or a death benefit), the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the cost basis of the Contract.  For a payment received as a partial withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract, federal tax liability is generally determined on a last-in, first-out basis, meaning taxable income is withdrawn before the cost basis of the Contract is withdrawn. In the case of a partial withdrawal under a tax-qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable.  For Contracts issued in connection with non-qualified plans, the cost basis is generally the premiums, while for Contracts issued in connection with tax-qualified plans there may be no cost basis.  The taxable portion of a withdrawal is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.  Tax penalties may also apply.

For annuity payments, a portion of each payment in excess of an exclusion amount is includable in taxable income.  All annuity payments in excess of the exclusion amount are fully taxable at ordinary income rates.

The exclusion amount for payments based on a fixed annuity option is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio that the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund feature) bears to the expected return under the Contract.  The exclusion amount for payments based on a variable annuity option is determined by dividing the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee) by the fixed or estimated number of years for which annuity payments are to be made.  No exclusion is allowed with respect to any payments received after the investment in the Contract has been recovered (i.e., when the total of the excludable amounts equals the investment in the Contract).  For certain types of tax-qualified plans there may be no cost basis in the Contract within the meaning of Section 72 of the Code.

Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries under the Contracts should seek competent financial advice about the tax consequences of distributions.

Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income

Beginning in 2013, the taxable portion of distributions from a non-qualified annuity Contract will be considered investment income for purposes of the new Medicare tax on investment income.  As a result, a 3.8% tax will generally apply to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts.  For 2013, these levels are $200,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $250,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $125,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately.  Owners should consult their own tax advisers for more information.

Withholding Tax on Distributions

The Code generally requires Jackson (or, in some cases, a plan administrator) to withhold tax on the taxable portion of any distribution or withdrawal from a Contract.  For "eligible rollover distributions" from Contracts issued under certain types of tax-qualified plans, 20% of the distribution must be withheld, unless the payee elects to have the distribution "rolled over" to another eligible plan in a direct transfer.  This requirement is mandatory and cannot be waived by the owner.

An "eligible rollover distribution" is the taxable portion of any amount received by a covered employee from a plan qualified under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, from a tax sheltered annuity qualified under Section 403(b) of the Code or an eligible deferred compensation plan of a state or local government under Section 457(b) of the Code (other than (1) a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee, or joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the employee, and his or her designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; (2) minimum distributions required to be made under the Code; and (3) hardship withdrawals).  Failure to "roll over" the entire amount of an eligible rollover distribution (including the amount equal to the 20% portion of the distribution that was withheld) could have adverse tax consequences, including the imposition of a penalty tax on premature withdrawals, described later in this section.

Withdrawals or distributions from a Contract other than eligible rollover distributions are also subject to withholding on the taxable portion of the distribution, but the owner may elect in such cases to waive the withholding requirement.  If not waived, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic payments, at the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages, or (2) for other distributions, at the rate of 10%.  If no withholding exemption certificate is in effect for the payee, the rate under (1) above is computed by treating the payee as a married individual claiming three withholding exemptions.

Generally, the amount of any payment of interest to a non-resident alien of the United States shall be subject to withholding of a tax equal to 30% of such amount or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate.  A payment may not be subject to withholding where the recipient sufficiently establishes that such payment is effectively connected to the recipient’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States and such payment is included in the recipient’s gross income.

Diversification -- Separate Account Investments

Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain asset diversification standards on variable annuity Contracts. The Code provides that a variable annuity Contract will not be treated as an annuity Contract for any period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments held in any segregated asset account underlying the Contract are not adequately diversified, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States Treasury Department ("Treasury Department").  Disqualification of the Contract as an annuity Contract would result in imposition of federal income tax to the owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to the receipt of payments under the Contract.  The Code contains a safe harbor provision which provides that annuity Contracts, such as the Contracts, meet the diversification requirements if, as of the last day of each calendar quarter, or within 30 days after such last day, the underlying assets meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment company and no more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies.

The Treasury Department has issued Regulations establishing diversification requirements for the mutual Funds underlying variable Contracts.  These Regulations amplify the diversification requirements for variable Contracts set forth in the Code and provide an alternative to the safe harbor provision described above.  Under these Regulations, a mutual Fund will be deemed adequately diversified if (1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any two investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any four investments.

Jackson intends that each Fund of the JNL Series Trust will be managed by its respective investment adviser in such a manner as to comply with these diversification requirements.

At the time the Treasury Department issued the diversification Regulations, it did not provide guidance regarding the circumstances under which Contract owner control of the investments of a segregated asset account would cause the Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the assets of the segregated asset account.  Revenue Ruling 2003-91 provides such guidance by describing the circumstances under which the owner of a variable contract will not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the contract to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes.

Rev. Rul. 2003-91 considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the contract owners could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under these variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the contract owners to be treated as the owners of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets.  Under the contracts in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 there was no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between the contract owner and the insurance company regarding the availability of a particular investment option and other than the contract owner’s right to allocate premiums and transfer funds among the available sub-accounts, all investment decisions concerning the sub-accounts were made by the insurance company or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.  Twelve investment options were available under the contracts in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 although the insurance company had the right to increase (but to no more than 20) or decrease the number of sub-accounts at any time.  The contract owner was permitted to transfer amounts among the various investment options without limitation, subject to incurring fees for more than one transfer per 30-day period.

Like the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91, under the Contract there will be no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between a Contract owner and Jackson regarding the availability of a particular Allocation Option and other than the Contract owner’s right to allocate premiums and transfer funds among the available Allocation Options, all investment decisions concerning the Allocation Options will be made by Jackson or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.  The Contract will differ from the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 in two respects.  The first difference is that the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 provided twelve investment options with the insurance company having the ability to add an additional 8 options whereas the Defined Strategies Contract currently offers 12 Investment Divisions and multiple guaranteed Fixed Account options and the Perspective Contract currently offers 103 Investment Divisions and multiple guaranteed fixed account options, although a Contract owner can select no more than 18 Allocation Options at any one time.  The second difference is that the owner of a contract in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 could only make one transfer per 30 day period without a fee whereas during the accumulation phase, a Contract owner can make 15 transfers in any one year without a charge.

Rev. Rul. 2003-91 states that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.  Jackson does not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 with respect to the number of investment choices and the number of investment transfers that can be made under the Contract without an additional charge should prevent the holding in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 from applying to the owner of a Contract.  At this time, however, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance.  Jackson reserves the right to modify the Contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Multiple Contracts

The Code provides that multiple non-qualified annuity Contracts that are issued within a calendar year to the same Contract owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one annuity Contract for purposes of determining the tax consequences of any distribution.  Such treatment may result in adverse tax consequences including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such multiple Contracts.  For purposes of this rule, Contracts received in a Section 1035 exchange will be considered issued in the year of the exchange.  Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing more than one annuity Contract in any calendar year.

Partial 1035 Exchanges

In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2011-38, the IRS will consider a partial exchange of an annuity Contract for another annuity Contract valid if there is either no withdrawal from, or surrender of, either the surviving annuity contract or the new annuity contract within 180 days of the date of the partial exchange.  Revenue Procedure 2011-38 also provides certain exceptions to the 180 day rule.  Due to the complexity of these rules, owners are encouraged to consult their own tax advisers prior to entering into a partial exchange of an annuity Contract.

Contracts Owned by Other Than Natural Persons

Under Section 72(u) of the Code, the investment earnings on premiums for Contracts will be taxed currently to the owner if the owner is a non-natural person, e.g., a corporation or certain other entities.  Such Contracts generally will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes (except for the taxation of life insurance companies).  However, this treatment is not applied to Contracts held by a trust or other entity as an agent for a natural person nor to Contracts held by certain tax-qualified plans.  Purchasers should consult their own tax counsel or other tax adviser before purchasing a Contract to be owned by a non-natural person.

Tax Treatment of Assignments

An assignment or pledge of a Contract may have tax consequences.  Any assignment or pledge of a tax-qualified Contract may also be prohibited by ERISA in some circumstances.  Owners should, therefore, consult competent legal advisers should they wish to assign or pledge their Contracts.

An assignment or pledge of all or any portion of the value of a Non-Qualified Contract is treated under Section 72 of the Code as an amount not received as an annuity.  The value of the Contract assigned or pledged that exceeds the aggregate premiums paid will be included in the individual’s gross income.  In addition, the amount included in the individual’s gross income could also be subject to the 10% penalty tax discussed below under Non-Qualified Contracts.

An assignment or pledge of all or any portion of the value of a Qualified Contract will disqualify the Qualified Contract.  If the Qualified Contract is part of a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan, the Code prohibits the assignment or alienation of benefits provided under the plan.  If the Qualified Contract is an IRA annuity or a 403(b) annuity, the Code requires the Qualified Contract to be nontransferable.  If the Qualified Contract is part of an eligible deferred compensation plan, amounts cannot be made available to plan participants or beneficiaries: (1) until the calendar year in which the participant attains age 70 1/2; (2) when the participant has a severance from employment; or (3) when the participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency.

Death Benefits

Any death benefits paid under the Contract are taxable to the beneficiary.  The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity Contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments.  Estate or gift taxes may also apply.

IRS Approval
 
 
The Contract, and all riders attached thereto, have been approved by the IRS for use as an Individual Retirement Annuity prototype.

Tax-Qualified Plans

The Contracts offered by the Prospectus are designed to be suitable for use under various types of tax-qualified plans.  Taxation of owners of a tax-qualified Contract will vary based on the type of plan and the terms and conditions of each specific plan.  Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a tax-qualified Contract may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued to fund the plan. Owners, annuitant and beneficiaries are also reminded that a tax-qualified Contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral if it is used to fund a tax-qualified plan that is already tax-deferred.

Tax Treatment of Withdrawals

Non-Qualified Contracts

Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions from annuity Contracts.  It provides that if the Contract value exceeds the aggregate premiums made, any amount withdrawn not in the form of an annuity payment will be treated as coming first from the earnings and then, only after the income portion is exhausted, as coming from the principal.  Withdrawn earnings are included in a taxpayer’s gross income.  Section 72 further provides that a 10% penalty will apply to the income portion of any distribution.  The penalty is not imposed on amounts received: (1) after the taxpayer reaches 59 1/2; (2) upon the death of the owner; (3) if the taxpayer is totally disabled as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code; (4) in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or for the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his beneficiary; (5) under an immediate annuity; or (6) which are allocable to premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

With respect to (4) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or five years from the date of the first periodic payment, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by an amount equal to the tax which would have been imposed (the 10% penalty tax) but for the exception, plus interest for the tax years in which the exception was used.

Tax-Qualified Contracts

In the case of a withdrawal under a tax-qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the individual’s cost basis to the individual’s total accrued benefit under the retirement plan.  Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions from a tax-qualified Contract.  Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from qualified retirement plans, including Contracts issued and qualified under Code Sections 401 (pension and profit sharing plans), 403(b) (tax-sheltered annuities), individual retirement accounts and annuities under 408(a) and (b) (IRAs) and Roth IRAs under 408A.  To the extent amounts are not included in gross income because they have been rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible qualified plan, no tax penalty will be imposed.

The tax penalty will not apply to the following distributions: (1) distributions made on or after the date on which the owner or annuitant (as applicable) reaches age 59 1/2; (2) distributions following the death or disability of the owner or annuitant (as applicable) (for this purpose "disability" is defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (3) distributions that are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the owner or annuitant (as applicable) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or her designated beneficiary; (4) distributions to an owner or annuitant (as applicable) who has separated from service after he has attained age 55; (5) distributions made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction under Code Section 213 to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during the taxable year for medical care; (6) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (7) distributions made on account of an IRS levy upon the qualified Contracts; (8) distributions from an IRA after separation from employment for the purchase of medical insurance (as described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or her spouse and dependents if the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) has received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks (this exception will no longer apply after the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) has been re-employed for at least 60 days); (9) distributions from an IRA made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the qualified higher education expenses (as defined in Section 72(t)(7) of the Code) (as applicable) for the taxable year; and (10) distributions from an  IRA made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) which are qualified first time home buyer distributions (as defined in Section 72(t)(8) of the Code).  The exceptions stated in items (4) and (6) above do not apply in the case of an IRA.  The exception stated in (3) above applies to an IRA without the requirement that there be a separation from service.

With respect to (3) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or five years from the date of the first periodic payment, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by an amount equal to the tax which would have been imposed (the 10% penalty tax) but for the exception, plus interest for the tax years in which the exception was used.

Withdrawals of amounts attributable to contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement (in accordance with Section 403(b)(11) of the Code) are limited to the following: when the owner attains age 59 1/2, severs employment, dies, becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code), or in the case of hardship.  Hardship withdrawals do not include any earnings on salary reduction contributions.  These limitations on withdrawals apply to: (1) salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988; (2) income attributable to such contributions; and (3) income attributable to amounts held as of December 31, 1988.  The limitations on withdrawals do not affect rollovers or exchanges between certain tax-qualified plans.  Tax penalties may also apply.  While the foregoing limitations only apply to certain Contracts issued in connection with Section 403(b) plans, all owners should seek competent tax advice regarding any withdrawals or distributions.

The taxable portion of a withdrawal or distribution from tax-qualified Contracts may, under some circumstances, be "rolled over" into another eligible plan so as to continue to defer income tax on the taxable portion.  Such treatment is available for an "eligible rollover distribution" made by certain types of plans (as described above under "Taxes – Withholding Tax on Distributions") that is transferred within 60 days of receipt into another eligible plan or an IRA.  Plans making such eligible rollover distributions are also required, with some exceptions specified in the Code, to provide for a direct transfer of the distribution to the transferee plan designated by the recipient.

Amounts received from IRAs may also be rolled over into other IRAs or certain other plans, subject to limitations set forth in the Code.

Prior to the date that annuity payments begin under an annuity Contract, the required minimum distribution rules applicable to defined contribution plans and IRAs will be used. Generally, distributions from a tax-qualified plan must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the employee attains the later of age 70 1/2 or the date of retirement.  In the case of an IRA, distributions must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the owner attains age 70 1/2.  Required distributions from defined contribution plans and IRAs are determined by dividing the account balance by the appropriate distribution period found in a uniform lifetime distribution table set forth in IRS regulations. For this purpose, the entire interest under an annuity Contract is the account value under the Contract plus the actuarial value of any other benefits such as guaranteed death benefits that will be provided under the Contract.

If the sole beneficiary is the Contract holder’s or employee’s spouse and the spouse is more than 10 years younger than the employee, a longer distribution period measured by the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Contract holder employee and spouse is permitted to be used.  Distributions under a defined benefit plan or an annuity Contract must be paid in the form of periodic annuity payments for the employee’s life (or the joint lives of the employee and beneficiary) or over a period certain that does not exceed the period under the uniform lifetime table for the employee’s age in the year in which the annuity starting date occurs.  If the required minimum distributions are not made, a 50% penalty tax on the amount not distributed is imposed on the individual.

Types of Tax-Qualified Plans

The Contracts offered herein are designed to be suitable for use under various types of tax-qualified plans.  Taxation of participants in each tax-qualified plan varies with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific plan.  Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a tax-qualified plan may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued pursuant to the plan.  Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into Jackson's administrative procedures.  Jackson is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms conflict with the terms of a Contract, unless Jackson specifically consents to be bound.  Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contracts comply with applicable law.

A tax-qualified Contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral if it is used to Fund a tax-qualified plan that is tax deferred.  However, the Contract has features and benefits other than tax deferral that may make it an appropriate investment for a tax-qualified plan.  Following are general descriptions of the types of tax-qualified plans with which the Contracts may be used.  Such descriptions are not exhaustive and are for general informational purposes only.  The tax rules regarding tax-qualified plans are very complex and will have differing applications depending on individual facts and circumstances.  Each purchaser should obtain competent tax advice prior to purchasing a Contract issued under a tax-qualified plan.

Contracts issued pursuant to tax-qualified plans include special provisions restricting Contract provisions that may otherwise be available as described herein.  Generally, Contracts issued pursuant to tax-qualified plans are not transferable except upon surrender or annuitization.  Various penalty and excise taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of applicable limitations.  Furthermore, certain withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to surrenders from Tax-Qualified Contracts.  (See "Tax Treatment of Withdrawals – Tax-Qualified Contracts" above.)

On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris that benefits provided under an employer’s deferred compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, vary between men and women.  The Contracts sold by Jackson in connection with certain Tax-Qualified Plans will utilize tables that do not differentiate on the basis of sex.  Such annuity tables will also be available for use in connection with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

(a) Tax-Sheltered Annuities

 
Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of "tax-sheltered annuities" by public schools and certain charitable, educational and scientific organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.  These qualifying employers may make contributions to the Contracts for the benefit of their employees.  Such contributions are not included in the gross income of the employee until the employee receives distributions from the Contract.  The amount of contributions to the tax-sheltered annuity is limited to certain maximums imposed by the Code.  Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional restrictions governing such items as transferability, distributions, non-discrimination and withdrawals.  Employee loans are not allowed under these Contracts.  Any employee should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(b) Individual Retirement Annuities

 
Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an "individual retirement annuity" ("IRA annuity").  Under applicable limitations, certain amounts may be contributed to an IRA annuity which will be deductible from the individual’s gross income.  IRA annuities are subject to limitations on eligibility, contributions, transferability and distributions.  Sales of IRA annuities are subject to special requirements imposed by the Code, including the requirement that certain informational disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish an IRA.  Purchasers of Contracts to be qualified as IRA annuities should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(c) Roth IRA Annuities

Section 408A of the Code provides that individuals may purchase a non-deductible IRA annuity, known as a Roth IRA annuity.  Purchase payments for Roth IRA annuities are limited to a maximum of $5, 500 for 2013 .  The limit will be adjusted annually for inflation in $500 increments. In addition, the Act allows individuals age 50 and older to make additional catch-up IRA contributions.  The otherwise maximum contribution limit (before application of adjusted gross income phase-out limits) for an individual who had celebrated his or her 50th birthday before the end of the tax year is increased by $1,000.  The same contribution and catch-up contributions are also available for purchasers of Traditional IRA annuities.

Lower maximum limitations apply to individuals above certain adjusted gross income levels.  For 2013 , these levels are $ 112 ,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $ 178 ,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $0 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately.  These levels are indexed annually in $1,000 increments.  An overall $5, 500 annual limitation (increased as discussed above) continues to apply to all of a taxpayer’s IRA annuity contributions, including Roth IRA annuities and non-Roth IRA annuities.

Qualified distributions from Roth IRA annuities are free from federal income tax.  A qualified distribution requires that the individual has held the Roth IRA annuity for at least five years and, in addition, that the distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on the individual’s death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home purchase, subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual, a spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor.  Any distribution that is not a qualified distribution is taxable to the extent of earnings in the distribution.  Distributions are treated as made from contributions first and therefore no distributions are taxable until distributions exceed the amount of contributions to the Roth IRA annuity.  The 10% penalty tax and the regular IRA annuity exceptions to the 10% penalty tax apply to taxable distributions from Roth IRA annuities.

Amounts may be rolled over from one Roth IRA annuity to another Roth IRA annuity.  Furthermore, an individual may make a rollover contribution from a non-Roth IRA annuity to a Roth IRA annuity.  The individual must pay tax on any portion of the IRA annuity being rolled over that would be included in income if the distributions were not rolled over.  There are no similar limitations on rollovers from one Roth IRA annuity to another Roth IRA annuity.

(d) Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

The Internal Revenue Code permits employers, including self-employed individuals, to establish various types of qualified retirement plans for employees.  These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide benefits under the plan.  Contributions to the plan for the benefit of employees will not be included in the gross income of the employee until distributed from the plan.  The tax consequences to owners may vary depending upon the particular plan design.  However, the Code places limitations on all plans on such items as amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of distributions; vesting and non-forfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, transferability of benefits, withdrawals and surrenders.  Purchasers of Contracts for use with pension or profit sharing plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(e) Eligible Deferred Compensation Plans -- Section 457

Under Code provisions, employees and independent contractors performing services for state and local governments and other tax-exempt organizations may participate in eligible deferred compensation plans under Section 457 of the Code.  The amounts deferred under a Plan that meets the requirements of Section 457 of the Code are not taxable as income to the participant until paid or otherwise made available to the participant or beneficiary.  As a general rule, the maximum amount that can be deferred in any one year is the lesser of 100% of the participant’s includible compensation or the elective deferral limitation.  The Act increases the dollar limit on deferrals to conform to the $17, 500 elective deferral limitation in 2013 .  The limit is indexed for inflation after that in $500 increments annually thereafter.  In addition, the Act allows individuals in eligible deferred compensation plans of state or local governments age 50 and older to make additional catch-up contributions.  The otherwise maximum contribution limit for an individual who had celebrated his or her 50th birthday before the end of the tax year is increased by $5,500. The same contribution and catch-up contributions are also available for participants in qualified pension and profit-sharing plans and tax-sheltered annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code.

In limited circumstances, the plan may provide for additional catch-up contributions in each of the last three years before normal retirement age.  Furthermore, the Code provides additional requirements and restrictions regarding eligibility and distributions.

All of the assets and income of an eligible deferred compensation plan established by a governmental employer must be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries.  For this purpose, custodial accounts and certain annuity Contracts are treated as trusts.  The requirement of a trust does not apply to amounts under a Plan of a tax-exempt (non-governmental) employer.  In addition, the requirement of a trust does not apply to amounts under a Plan of a governmental employer if the Plan is not an eligible plan within the meaning of Section 457(b) of the Code.  In the absence of such a trust, amounts under the plan will be subject to the claims of the employer’s general creditors.

In general, distributions from a Plan are prohibited under Section 457 of the Code unless made after the participant:

attains age 70 1/2,
severs employment,
dies, or
suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency as defined in the regulations.

Under present federal tax law, amounts accumulated in a Plan of a tax-exempt (non-governmental) employer under Section 457 of the Code cannot be transferred or rolled over on a tax-deferred basis except for certain transfers to other Plans under Section 457.  Amounts accumulated in a Plan of a state or local government employer may be transferred or rolled over to another eligible deferred compensation plan of a state or local government, an IRA, a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan or a tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403(b) of the Code.

Annuity Provisions

Variable Annuity Payment

The initial annuity payment is determined by taking the Contract value allocated to that Investment Division, less any premium tax and any applicable Contract charges, and then applying it to the income option table specified in the Contract.  The appropriate rate must be determined by the sex (except where, as in the case of certain Qualified Plans and other employer-sponsored retirement plans, such classification is not permitted) and age of the annuitant and designated second person, if any.

The dollars applied are divided by 1,000 and the result multiplied by the appropriate annuity factor appearing in the table to compute the amount of the first monthly payment.  That amount is divided by the value of an annuity unit as of the Income Date to establish the number of annuity units representing each variable payment.  The number of annuity units determined for the first variable payment remains constant for the second and subsequent monthly variable payments, assuming that no reallocation of Contract values is made.

The amount of the second and each subsequent monthly variable payment is determined by multiplying the number of annuity units by the annuity unit value as of the business day next preceding the date on which each payment is due.

The mortality and expense experience will not adversely affect the dollar amount of the variable annuity payments once payments have commenced.

Annuity Unit Value

The initial value of an annuity unit of each Investment Division was set when the Investment Divisions were established.  The value may increase or decrease from one business day to the next.  The income option tables contained in the Contract are based on a 3% per annum assumed investment rate.

The value of a fixed number of annuity units will reflect the investment performance of the Investment Divisions elected, and the amount of each payment will vary accordingly.

For each Investment Division, the value of an annuity unit for any business day is determined by multiplying the annuity unit value for the immediately preceding business day by the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit from the immediately preceding business day to the business day of valuation, calculated by use of the Net Investment Factor, described below. The result is then multiplied by a second factor which offsets the effect of the assumed net investment rate of 3% per annum.

Net Investment Factor

The net investment factor is an index applied to measure the net investment performance of an Investment Division from one valuation date to the next. The net investment factor for any Investment Division for any valuation period during the accumulation and annuity phases is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) from the result where:

(a)
is the net result of:
 
(1)
the net asset value of a Fund's share held in the Investment Division determined as of the valuation date at the end of the valuation period, plus
 
(2)
the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution declared by the Fund if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the valuation period, plus or minus
 
(3)
a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes paid or reserved for by Jackson during the valuation period which are determined by Jackson to be attributable to the operation of the Investment Division (no federal income taxes are applicable under present law);
(b)
is the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Investment Division determined as of the valuation date at the end of the preceding valuation period; and
(c)
is the asset charge factor determined by Jackson for the valuation period to reflect the asset-based charges (the mortality and expense risk charge), administration charge, and any applicable charges for optional benefits.

Condensed Financial Information

Accumulation Unit Values

The tables reflect the accumulation unit values for each Investment Division for the beginning and end of the periods indicated, and the number of accumulation units outstanding as of the end of the periods indicated – for Contracts with all levels of charges (and combinations of optional endorsements).  The tables do not provide partial year information.  The tables provide accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding only if that information is available throughout the period.  Where accumulation unit values and the number of accumulation units outstanding are unavailable, either because of a partial year or a Fund not being offered, a “N/A” is provided.

This information derives from the financial statements of the Separate Account, which together constitute the Separate Account’s condensed financial information.  Contact the Annuity Service Center to request your copy free of charge; Contact information is on the cover page of the prospectus.  Also, please ask about the more timely accumulation unit values that are available for each Investment Division.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investments
 
The Separate Account’s Portfolios’ investments in the corresponding Funds are stated at the closing net asset values of the respective Funds. The average cost method is used in determining the cost of the shares sold on withdrawals by the Portfolios of the Separate Account. Investments in the Funds are recorded on trade date. Realized gain distributions and dividend distributions received from the Funds are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds and are recorded as income or gain to the Portfolios of the Separate Account on the ex-dividend date.
 
Federal Income Taxes
 
The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of Jackson, which is taxed as a “life insurance company” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the Separate Account. Therefore, no federal income tax has been provided.
 
Topic 820 in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 820), “Fair Value Measurements”
 
This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current GAAP from the application of this statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. 
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolios’ investments in the Funds under ASC 820 guidance. The inputs are summarized into three broad categories. Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets, including valuations for securities listed on a national or foreign stock exchange, or investments in mutual funds and securities lending collateral, which is valued as a practical expedient at its daily reported NAV. Level 2 includes valuations for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Direct observable inputs include closing prices of similar securities in active markets or closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets. Indirect observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, and credit risks. Level 3 includes valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement including the Separate Account’s Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investments in the respective Funds. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. As of December 31, 2012, all of the Separate Account’s Portfolios’ investments in each of the corresponding Funds

Jackson National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
are valued as a practical expedient at their daily reported NAVs. Therefore, all investments in Funds have been categorized as Level 1. The characterization of the underlying securities held by the Funds in accordance with ASC 820 differs from the characterization of the Separate Account’s Portfolios’ investments in the corresponding Funds.
 
ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards”
 
In May 2011 FASB released ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards”. ASU 2011-04 further clarifies fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures. Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, entities will need to disclose the amounts and reasons for any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities; quantitative information relating to significant observable inputs, a narrative description of the valuation process, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable or Level 3 valuation inputs.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities.
 
Note 3 – Policy Charges
 
Charges are deducted from the Separate Account and remitted to Jackson, to compensate Jackson for providing the insurance benefits set forth in the contracts, administering the contracts, distributing the contracts, and assuming certain risks in connection with the contracts.
 
Policyholder Charges
 
Contract Maintenance Charge
 
An annual contract maintenance charge of $35 - $50 is charged against each contract to reimburse Jackson for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining records relating to the contract. The contract maintenance charge is assessed on each anniversary of the contract date that occurs prior to the annuity date. This charge is only imposed if the contract value is less than $50,000 on the date when the charge is assessed. The charge is deducted by redeeming units. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, contract maintenance charges were assessed in the amount of $3,018,530 and $2,870,556, respectively.
 
Transfer Charge
 
A transfer charge of $25 will apply to transfers made by contract holders between the Portfolios in excess of 15 transfers in a contract year. Jackson may waive the transfer charge in connection with pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or in those states where a lesser charge is required. This charge will be deducted from the amount transferred prior to the allocation to a different Portfolio. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, transfer charges were assessed in the amount of $29,545 and $21,848, respectively.
 
Surrender or Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
 
During the first three to nine contract years, certain contracts include a provision for a charge upon the surrender or partial surrender of the contract. The amount assessed under the contract terms, if any, depends upon the cost associated with distributing the particular contracts. The amount, if any, is determined based on a number of factors, including the amount withdrawn, the contract year of surrender, or the number and amount of withdrawals in a calendar year. The surrender charges are assessed by Jackson and withheld from the proceeds of the withdrawals. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, surrender charges were assessed in the amount of $40,792,400 and $37,748,144, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
Note 3 – Policy Charges (continued)
 
Optional Benefit Charges
 
Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Charge. If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.40% - 0.87%, depending on the product, of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) base. The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Charge. If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 1.00% - 1.02% of the Guaranteed Value (GV). The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge. If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.50% - 3.00%, depending on the product, of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB). The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Charge. If any of the optional death benefits are selected that are available under the contract, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.60% - 1.80%, depending on product, of the Death Benefit base. The charge will be deducted each contract quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.
 
Asset-based Charges
 
Insurance Charges
 
Jackson deducts a daily charge for administrative expenses from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15%. In designated products, this expense is waived for initial contributions greater than $1 million, refer to the product prospectus for eligibility. The administration charge is designed to reimburse Jackson for expenses incurred in administering the Separate Account and its contracts and is assessed through the unit value calculation.
 
Jackson deducts a daily base contract charge from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% to 1.65% for the assumption of mortality and expense risks. The mortality risk assumed by Jackson is that the insured may receive benefits greater than those anticipated by Jackson. The expense risk assumed by Jackson is that the actual cost of administering the contracts of the Separate Account may exceed the amount received from the Administration Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge.
 
Optional Benefit Charges
 
Earnings Protection Benefit Charge. If this benefit option has been selected, Jackson will make an additional deduction of 0.20% - 0.45%, depending on the product chosen, on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the Portfolios.
 
Contract Enhancement Charge. If one of the contract enhancement benefits is selected, then for a period of five to nine contract years, Jackson will make an additional deduction based upon the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the Portfolios. The amounts of these charges depend upon the contract enhancements selected and range from 0.395% to 0.832%.
 
Withdrawal Charge Period. If the optional three, four, or five-year withdrawal charge period feature is selected, Jackson will deduct 0.45%, 0.40%, or 0.30%, respectively, on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the Portfolios.
 
20% Additional Free Withdrawal Charge. If a contract owner selects the optional feature that permits you to withdraw up to 20% of premiums that are still subject to a withdrawal charge minus earnings during a Contract year without withdrawal charge, Jackson will deduct 0.30% - 0.40% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets value of the contract owner’s allocations to the Portfolios.

Optional Death Benefit Charges. If any of the optional death benefits are selected that are available under the contract, Jackson will make an additional deduction of 0.15% - 0.80% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the Portfolios, based on the optional death benefit selected.
 
Premium Taxes
 
Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes or other similar taxes. Jackson pays these taxes and may make a deduction from the value of the contract for them. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5% depending on the state.
 
Note 4 – Related Party Transactions
 
For contract enhancement benefits related to the optional benefits offered, Jackson contributed $109,631,295 and $122,719,601 to the Separate Account in the form of additional premium to contract owners’ accounts for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These amounts are included in purchase payments received from contract owners.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio.  The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated.  The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio.  The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated.  The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
*** Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**
Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***
Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units,inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
** Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated.  The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values.Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
***  Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units,inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**  Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values.Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
*** Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units,inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for Portfolios with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Portfolio of the Separate Account.
**  Annualized contract expenses of Portfolios of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values.Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
*** Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

The Board of Directors
Jackson National Life Insurance Company and
Contract Owners of Jackson National Separate Account I:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the sub-accounts within Jackson National Separate Account I (Separate Account) as set forth herein as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2012, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying mutual fund and other appropriate auditing procedures.

The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Jackson National Life Insurance Company:
 
Report on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Auditors’ Responsibility
 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
 
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 
Opinion
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Emphasis of Matter
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2012 the Company has changed its method of accounting for the costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts due to the retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-26: Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.  Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Business and Basis of Presentation
   
 
Jackson National Life Insurance Company (the “Company” or “Jackson”) is wholly owned by Brooke Life Insurance Company (“Brooke Life” or the “Parent”), which is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc (“Prudential”), London, England.  Jackson, together with its New York life insurance subsidiary, is licensed to sell group and individual annuity products (including immediate, index linked and deferred fixed annuities and variable annuities), guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) and individual life insurance products, including variable universal life, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
   
 
The consolidated financial statements include accounts, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions, of the following:
 
Life insurers: Jackson and its wholly owned subsidiaries Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York, Squire Reassurance Company LLC (“Squire Re”) and Jackson National Life (Bermuda) LTD;
 
 
Wholly owned broker-dealer, investment management and investment advisor subsidiaries: Jackson National Life Distributors, LLC, Jackson National Asset Management, LLC, Curian Clearing, LLC and Curian Capital, LLC;
 
PGDS (US One) LLC (“PGDS”), a wholly owned subsidiary that provides information technology services to Jackson and certain affiliates;
 
Hermitage Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary that holds and manages certain mortgage loans and real estate;
 
Other insignificant wholly owned subsidiaries; and
 
Other partnerships, limited liability companies and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Jackson has a controlling interest or is deemed the primary beneficiary.

 
Acquisition
 
On September 4, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of SRLC America Holding Corp. (“SRLC”) from Swiss Re Life Capital Ltd (“Swiss Re”) for a preliminary purchase price of $663.3 million, which was reduced by an estimated $73.9 million current net operating loss carryback income tax recoverable, resulting in a cash payment of $589.4 million at the time of sale.  Subsequent adjustments reduced the preliminary purchase price to $587.3 million, which remains subject to final agreement with Swiss Re.  See Note 3 for additional information regarding the acquisition.
   
 
SRLC’s primary subsidiary was Reassure America Life Insurance Company (“REALIC”), which was merged into Jackson as of December 31, 2012.  REALIC’s primary business activity involved the acquisition of blocks of life insurance, including corporate owned life insurance, disability income and/or annuity contracts in force.  In addition to REALIC, SRLC had other insignificant subsidiaries.  Subsequent to the purchase, SRLC was dissolved and its subsidiaries became direct subsidiaries of Jackson.
   
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.  In accordance with updated accounting guidance related to deferred acquisition costs, further described below, the Company’s 2011 and 2010 consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the retrospective adoption of this updated guidance.  In 2011, Jackson adopted a revised presentation of the balance sheet and income statement, with prior year amounts being reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no impact on stockholder’s equity or net income.  In conjunction with this change, the Company reclassified its previously reported risk management activity into other investment losses and net investment income, which is further detailed in Note 5.  In addition, certain amounts in the 2011 and 2010 financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.

December 31, 2012 and 2011


 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes.  Significant estimates or assumptions, as further discussed in the notes, include: 1) valuation of investments and derivative instruments, including fair values of securities deemed to be in an illiquid market and the determination of when an impairment is other-than-temporary; 2) assessments as to whether certain entities are variable interest entities, the existence of reconsideration events and the determination of which party, if any, should consolidate the entity; 3) assumptions impacting future gross profits, including lapse and mortality rates, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates, used in the calculation of amortization of deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements; 4) assumptions used in calculating policy reserves and liabilities, including lapse and mortality rates, expenses and investment returns; 5) assumptions as to future earnings levels being sufficient to realize deferred tax benefits; 6) estimates related to establishment of loan loss reserves, allowances on receivables, liabilities for lawsuits and state guaranty fund assessments; 7) assumptions and estimates associated with the Company’s tax positions which impact the amount of recognized tax benefits recorded by the Company; 8) the value of guarantee obligations; and 9) value of business acquired and its amortization.  These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.  Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors deemed appropriate.  As facts and circumstances dictate, these estimates and assumptions may be adjusted.  Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.  Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, will be reflected in the financial statements in the periods the estimates are changed.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
   
 
Changes in Accounting Principles – Adopted in Current Year
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” with an objective of increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).  This guidance provides entities with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012 and chose to present two separate but consecutive statements.
   
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards,” which was issued to create a consistent framework for the application of fair value measurement across jurisdictions.  The amendments include wording changes to GAAP in order to clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements, as well as to change a particular principle or existing requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and has included the required disclosures.
   
 
In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.”  This guidance clarifies which costs related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts can be deferred by insurance entities.  The guidance also specifies that only costs directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be capitalized.  All other acquisition related costs should be expensed as incurred.  Jackson adopted this accounting guidance effective January 1, 2012, on a retrospective basis for all years presented.

The Company has also adjusted prior year amounts in cash flows from operations in the statement of cash flows.  These adjustments had no impact on the total net cash provided by operating activities.
   
 
Changes in Accounting Principles – Not Yet Adopted
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The new disclosures are required to be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2013 and include all applicable disclosures.
   
 
Comprehensive Income
 
Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholder’s equity (except those arising from transactions with owners/stockholders) and, in the Company’s case, includes net income and net unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities.
   
 
Investments
 
Fixed maturities consist primarily of bonds, notes, redeemable preferred stocks and asset-backed securities.  Acquisition discounts and premiums on fixed maturities are amortized into investment income through call or maturity dates using the effective interest method.  Discounts and premiums on asset-backed securities are amortized over the estimated redemption period.  Certain asset-backed securities are considered to be other than high quality or otherwise deemed to be high-risk, meaning the Company might not recover substantially all of its recorded investment due to unanticipated prepayment events.  For these securities, changes in investment yields due to changes in estimated future cash flows are accounted for on a prospective basis.  The carrying value of such securities was $878.0 million and $840.7 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Fixed maturities are generally classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value.  For declines in fair value considered to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge reflecting the difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value is included in net realized losses on investments.  If management believes the Company does not intend to sell the security and is not more likely than not to be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an amount representing the non-credit related portion of a loss is reclassified out of net realized losses on investments and into other comprehensive income.  In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, and in calculating the non-credit related component of the total impairment loss, the Company considers a number of factors, which are further described in Note 4.
   
 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, all equity holdings were classified as trading.  Trading securities are carried at fair value with changes in value included in net investment income.
   
 
Commercial mortgage loans are carried at aggregate unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized discounts and premiums and impairments or an allowance for loan losses.
   
 
On a periodic basis, Jackson assesses the commercial mortgage loan portfolio for the need for an allowance for loan losses.  In determining its allowance for losses, the Company evaluates each loan to determine if it is probable that amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected.  The allowance includes loan specific reserves for loans that are determined to be non-performing as a result of this loan review process, and a portfolio reserve for probable incurred but not specifically identified losses for loans which do not carry loan specific reserves.  The loan specific portion of the loss allowance is based on the Company’s assessment as to ultimate collectability of loan principal and interest, or other value expected in lieu of loan principal and interest.  This review contemplates a variety of factors which may include, but are not limited to, current economic conditions, the physical condition of the property, the financial condition of the borrower, and the near and long-term prospects for change in these conditions.  In determining the portfolio reserve for incurred but not specifically identified losses, Jackson considers the current credit composition of the portfolio based on the results of its loan modeling analysis, which considers property type, default statistics, historical losses and other relevant factors to determine probability of default and other default loss estimates.  Model assumptions are updated each quarter and, based upon actual loan experience, are considered together with other relevant qualitative factors in making the final portfolio reserve calculations.  The valuation allowance for commercial mortgage loans can increase or decrease from period to period based on these factors.  Changes in the allowance for loan losses are recorded in investment income.
   
 
Separately, Jackson also reviews individual loans in the portfolio for impairment based on an assessment of the factors identified above.  Impairment charges recognized are recorded initially against the established loan loss allowance and, if necessary, any additional amounts are recorded as realized losses.  As deemed necessary based on cash flow expectations and other factors, Jackson may also place loans on non-accrual status.  In this case, all cash received is applied against the carrying value of the loan.
   
 
Policy loans are loans the Company issues to contract holders that use the cash surrender value of their life insurance policy or annuity contract as collateral.  In connection with the acquisition of REALIC, the Company elected the fair value option upon acquisition of policy loans held as collateral for reinsurance, further described below.  At December 31, 2012, $3.0 billion of these loans were carried at fair value, which the Company believes is equal to the unpaid principal balances plus accrued investment income.  At December 31, 2012, the Company had $1.4 billion of policy loans not held as collateral for reinsurance, which were carried at the unpaid principal balances.
   
 
Other invested assets primarily include investments in limited partnerships and real estate.  Carrying values for limited partnership investments are determined by using the proportion of Jackson’s investment in each fund (NAV equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value.  Real estate is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value.
   
 
The Company holds interests in VIEs that represent primary beneficial interests.  These consolidated VIEs include entities structured to hold and manage investments.
   
 
Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in income at the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost identification method.

December 31, 2012 and 2011


 
In connection with the acquisition of REALIC, the Company elected the fair value option for certain assets which are held as collateral for reinsurance, as further described below.  Accordingly, the Company established a funds held liability, for which the Company also elected the fair value option.  The value of the funds held liability is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral.  The income and any changes in unrealized gains and losses on these assets and the corresponding funds held liability are included in net investment income and have no impact on the Company’s consolidated income statement.
   
 
The changes in unrealized gains and losses on certain investments which are classified as available for sale and the non-credit related portion of other-than-temporary impairment charges are excluded from net income and included as a component of other comprehensive income and total equity, net of tax, and the effect of the adjustment for deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements.  The changes in unrealized gains and losses on investments for which Jackson elected the fair value option are included in net investment income.
   
 
Derivative Instruments and Embedded Derivatives
 
The Company enters into financial derivative transactions, including, but not limited to, swaps, put-swaptions, futures and options to reduce and manage business risks.  These transactions manage the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, credit quality or degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred.  The Company manages the potential credit exposure for over-the-counter derivative contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparty credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.  The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, however, it does not anticipate nonperformance.  There were no charges due to nonperformance by derivative counterparties in 2012, 2011, or 2010.
   
 
The Company generally uses freestanding derivative instruments for hedging purposes.  Additionally, certain liabilities, primarily trust instruments supported by funding agreements, index linked annuities and guarantees offered in connection with variable annuities issued by the Company, contain embedded derivative instruments.  Further details regarding Jackson’s derivative positions are included in Note 5.  The Company generally does not account for freestanding derivatives as either fair value or cash flow hedges as might be permitted if specific hedging documentation requirements were followed.  Financial derivatives, including derivatives embedded in certain host liabilities that have been separated for accounting and financial reporting purposes, are carried at fair value.  The results from derivative financial instruments and embedded derivatives, including net payments, realized gains and losses and changes in value, are reported in net income, as further detailed in Note 5.
   
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents primarily include money market instruments and deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”).
   
 
Fair Value Measurement
 
Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information.  Jackson utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  All assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be classified into one of the following categories:

 
Level 1
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities and exchange traded equity securities and derivative instruments.
     
 
Level 2
Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.  Most debt securities and preferred stocks that are model priced using observable inputs are classified within Level 2.  Also included are freestanding and embedded derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs.
 
 
11

 
Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011


 
Level 3
Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk).  Embedded derivative instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3.  Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment may be used to determine the Level 3 fair values.  Level 3 fair values represent the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

 
In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In these situations, the Company will determine the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value.  As a result, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used in the determination of fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.
   
 
The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available.  The Company may also determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate.  When appropriate, fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity and risk margins on unobservable inputs.
   
 
Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data, as well as the best information about the individual financial instrument.  At times, illiquid market conditions may result in inactive markets for certain of the Company’s financial instruments.  In such instances, there is generally no or limited observable market data for these assets and liabilities.  Fair value estimates for financial instruments deemed to be in an illiquid market are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, currency, credit and interest rate risks, loss experience and other factors.  These fair values are estimates and involve considerable uncertainty and variability as a result of the inputs selected and may differ materially from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.  As a result of market inactivity, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.  In addition, changes in the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement technique could significantly affect these fair value estimates.
   
 
Refer to Note 6 for further discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values of the Company’s financial instruments.
   
 
Deferred Acquisition Costs
 
Under current accounting guidance, certain costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance business can be capitalized as deferred acquisition costs.  These costs primarily pertain to commissions and certain costs associated with policy issuance and underwriting.  All other acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
   
 
Deferred acquisition costs are increased by interest thereon and amortized into income in proportion to anticipated premium revenues for traditional life policies and in proportion to estimated gross profits, including realized gains and losses and derivative movements, for annuities and interest-sensitive life products.  Due to volatility of certain factors that affect gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, amortization may be a benefit or a charge in any given period.  In the event of negative amortization, the related deferred acquisition cost balance is capped at the initial amount capitalized, plus interest.  Unamortized deferred acquisition costs are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed.
   
 
As certain available for sale fixed maturities are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred acquisition costs equal to the change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields.  This adjustment, along with the change in unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturities available for sale, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to equity as a component of other comprehensive income.  Deferred acquisition costs decreased by $1,244.9 million and $866.1 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to reflect this adjustment.

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011


 
For variable annuity business, the Company employs a mean reversion methodology that is applied with the objective of adjusting the amortization of deferred acquisition costs that would otherwise be highly volatile due to fluctuations in the level of future gross profits arising from changes in equity market levels.  The mean reversion methodology achieves this objective by applying a dynamic adjustment to the assumption for short-term future investment returns.  Under the methodology, the projected returns for the next five years are set such that, when combined with the actual returns for the current and preceding two years, the average rate of return over the eight year period is 8.4%, after investment management fees.  The mean reversion methodology does, however, include a cap and a floor of 15% and 0% per annum, respectively, on the projected return for each of the next five years.  Projected returns after the next five years are set at 8.4%.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, projected returns under mean reversion were below the 15% cap.
   
 
Deferred acquisition costs are reviewed periodically to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts.  Any amount deemed unrecoverable is written off with a charge through deferred acquisition costs amortization.  No such write-offs were required for 2012, 2011, and 2010.
   
 
Deferred Sales Inducements
 
Under current accounting guidance, certain sales inducement costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance business can be capitalized as deferred sales inducement costs.  Bonus interest on deferred fixed annuities and contract enhancements on index linked annuities and variable annuities are capitalized as deferred sales inducements and included in other assets.  Deferred sales inducements are increased by interest thereon and amortized into income in proportion to estimated gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements.  Due to volatility of certain factors that affect gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, amortization may be a benefit or a charge in any given period.  In the event of negative amortization, the related deferred sales inducements balance is capped at the initial amount capitalized, plus interest.  Unamortized deferred sales inducements are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed.
   
 
As certain fixed maturities available for sale are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred sales inducements equal to the change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields.  This adjustment, along with the change in unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturities available for sale, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to equity as a component of other comprehensive income.  Deferred sales inducements decreased by $216.5 million and $147.6 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to reflect this adjustment.
   
 
For variable annuity business, the Company employs the same mean reversion methodology as is employed for deferred acquisition costs as described above.
   
 
Deferred sales inducements are reviewed periodically to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts.  Any amount deemed unrecoverable is written off with a charge through deferred sales inducements amortization.  No such write-offs were required for 2012, 2011, and 2010.
   
 
Actuarial Assumption Changes (Unlocking)
 
Annually, or as circumstances warrant, the Company conducts a comprehensive review of the assumptions used for its estimates of future gross profits underlying the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements, as well as the valuation of the embedded derivatives and reserves for life insurance and annuity products with living benefit and death benefit guarantees.  These assumptions include investment margins, mortality, persistency, rider utilization and policy maintenance expenses.  Based on this review, the cumulative balances of deferred acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and life and annuity reserves are adjusted with an offsetting benefit or charge to net income.

Reinsurance and Funds Held Under Reinsurance Treaties
 
The Company enters into assumed and ceded reinsurance agreements with other companies in the normal course of business.  Ceded reinsurance agreements are reported on a gross basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an asset for amounts recoverable from reinsurers or as a component of other assets or liabilities for amounts, such as premiums, owed to or due from reinsurers.  Reinsurance assumed and ceded premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.  Premium income and benefit expenses are reported net of reinsurance assumed and ceded.
   
 
In connection with and prior to the previously mentioned acquisition, REALIC entered into three retrocession reinsurance agreements (“retro treaties”) with Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“SRZ”).  Pursuant to these retro treaties, REALIC ceded on a 100% coinsurance basis to SRZ and SRZ assumed certain blocks of business written or reinsured by REALIC.
   
 
As a result of these retro treaties, the Company holds certain assets, primarily in the form of policy loans and fixed maturities, as collateral for the reinsurance recoverable.  Investment income and capital gains (losses) earned on assets held as collateral are paid by the Company to SRZ pursuant to the terms of the treaties.  Investment income and capital gains and losses are reported net of investment income and capital gains and losses on funds held under reinsurance treaties, with no impact on the Company’s consolidated income statement.
   
 
The income credited to SRZ on the funds held for the retro treaties is based on the income earned on those assets, which results in an embedded derivative (total return swap).  However, at acquisition, the Company elected the fair value option for the funds held liability, which is carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net investment income.  Accordingly, the embedded derivative is not bifurcated or separately valued.
   
 
Value of Business Acquired
 
As a result of the acquisition of SRLC in 2012, which is further described in Note 3, the Company has recorded an intangible asset representing the value of business acquired (“VOBA”), which is included in other assets.  In connection with the acquisition of insurance policies and investment contracts, a portion of the purchase price is assigned to the right to receive future gross profits from the acquired insurance policies and investment contracts.  This intangible asset, or VOBA, represents the actuarially estimated present value of future cash flows from the acquired policies.  The Company has established a VOBA intangible asset for the acquired traditional life insurance products and deferred annuity contracts, as a result of the acquisition of SRLC.  This intangible asset will be amortized over the life of the business, which approximates 20 years.  The unamortized VOBA balance is subject to recoverability testing at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the balance does not exceed the present value of anticipated gross profits.
   
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions, as well as certain foreign jurisdictions.
   
 
Jackson files a consolidated federal income tax return with Brooke Life and Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York.  Subsequent to the liquidation of SRLC on September 5, 2012, REALIC also joined the consolidated tax return through the date of its merger into the Company on December 31, 2012. Jackson National Life (Bermuda) LTD is taxed as a controlled foreign corporation of Jackson.  All other subsidiaries are limited liability companies with all of their interests owned by Jackson.  Accordingly, they are not considered separate entities for income tax purposes and, therefore, are taxed as part of the operations of Jackson.  Income tax expense is the lesser of the amount calculated on a separate company basis or Jackson’s pro-rata share of the actual liability as determined under the consolidated return taking into account only Jackson and Brooke Life.

Deferred federal income taxes arise from the recognition of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities determined for financial reporting purposes and the basis determined for income tax purposes.  Such temporary differences are principally related to the effects of recording certain invested assets at market value, the deferral of policy acquisition costs and sales inducements and the provisions for future policy benefits and expenses.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when such benefits are realized.  Jackson is required to test the value of deferred tax assets for realizability.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers the carryback eligibility of losses, reversal of existing temporary differences, estimated future taxable income and tax planning strategies.
   
 
The determination of the valuation allowance for Jackson’s deferred tax assets requires management to make certain judgments and assumptions regarding future operations that are based on historical experience and expectations of future performance.  In order to recognize a tax benefit in the consolidated financial statements, there must be a greater than fifty percent chance of success of the Company’s position being sustained by the relevant taxing authority with regard to that tax position.  Management’s judgments are potentially subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future performance, which is impacted by such factors as policyholder behavior, competitor pricing and other specific industry and market conditions.
   
 
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense.
   
 
At the time of the acquisition of SRLC, REALIC had available approximately $153.7 million in net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, which will be subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Section 382 imposes limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the event of an acquisition of a company with such loss carryforwards. The Section 382 limitation is an annual limitation on the amount of pre-acquisition NOLs that a corporation may use to offset post-acquisition income. Section 382 further limits certain unrealized built-in losses at the time of acquisition. The annual limitation, subject to potential purchase price adjustments, is approximately $20.0 million.
   
 
Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable and Other Contract Holder Funds
 
For traditional life insurance contracts, which include term and whole life, reserves for future policy benefits are determined using the net level premium method and assumptions as of the issue date or acquisition date as to mortality, interest, persistency and expenses plus provisions for adverse deviations.  These assumptions are not unlocked unless determined to be deficient.  Mortality assumptions range from 25% to 160% of the 1975-1980 Basic Select and Ultimate tables depending on policy duration.  Interest rate assumptions range from 2.75% to 6.0%.  Lapse and expense assumptions are based on Company experience.  The Company’s liability for future policy benefits also includes net liabilities for guaranteed benefits related to certain nontraditional long-duration life and annuity contracts, which are further discussed in Note 10.
   
 
For the Company’s interest-sensitive life contracts, liabilities approximate the policyholder’s account value, plus the unamortized balance of the fair value adjustment related to the REALIC acquired business.  For deferred annuities, the liability is the account value, plus the unamortized balance of the fair value adjustment related to the REALIC acquired business.  For the fixed option on variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts and other investment contracts, the liability is the policyholder’s account value.  The liability for index linked annuities is based on two components, 1) the imputed value of the underlying guaranteed host contract and 2) the fair value of the embedded option component of the contract.
   
 
Upon acquisition of REALIC, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment related to certain annuity and interest sensitive liability blocks of business to reflect the cost of the interest guarantees within the inforce liabilities, based on the difference between the guaranteed interest rate and an assumed new money guaranteed interest rate.  This adjustment was recorded in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.  This component of the acquired reserves will be reassessed at the end of each period, taking into account changes in the inforce block and the relationship between guaranteed rates and market crediting rates.  Any resulting change in the reserve will be recorded as a change in reserve through the consolidated income statement.

The Company has formed both a special purpose vehicle and a statutory business trust, solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited by the Company and secured by the issuance of funding agreements.
   
 
Those Medium Term Note instruments issued in a foreign currency have been economically hedged for changes in exchange rates using cross-currency swaps.  The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, as well as unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements.
   
 
Trust instrument liabilities are adjusted to reflect the effects of foreign currency transaction gains and losses using exchange rates as of the reporting date.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other investment losses.
   
 
Jackson and Squire Re are members of the FHLBI primarily for the purpose of participating in the bank’s mortgage-collateralized loan advance program with short-term and long-term funding facilities.  Members are required to purchase and hold a minimum amount of FHLBI capital stock plus additional stock based on outstanding advances.  Advances are in the form of short-term or long-term notes or funding agreements issued to FHLBI.
   
 
The Company’s stable value business is comprised of the guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements and FHLBI funding agreement advances described above.
   
 
Contingent Liabilities
 
The Company is a party to legal actions and, at times, regulatory investigations.  Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate their impact on the Company’s financial position.  A reserve is established for contingent liabilities if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable.  It is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company’s contingent liabilities, or the use of different assumptions in the determination of amounts recorded, could have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position.  However, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of contingent liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
   
 
Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
 
The Company maintains separate account assets, which are reported at fair value.  The related liabilities are reported at an amount equivalent to the separate account assets.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the assets and liabilities associated with variable life and annuity contracts, aggregated $80.1 billion and $58.8 billion, respectively.  Investment risks associated with market value changes are borne by the contract holders, except to the extent of minimum guarantees made by the Company.  Refer to Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company’s contractual guarantees.  Separate account net investment income, net investment realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the consolidated income statements.  Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue as fee income. 
   
 
Included in the above mentioned assets and liabilities is a Company issued group variable annuity contract designed for use in connection with and issued to the Company’s Defined Contribution Retirement Plan.  These deposits are allocated to the Jackson National Separate Account – II, which had a balance of $217.8 million and $185.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The Company receives administrative fees for managing the funds.  These fees are recorded as earned and included in fee income in the consolidated income statements.
   
 
Debt
 
Liabilities for the Company’s debt are primarily carried at an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance.  Original issuance discount or premium and any debt issue costs, if applicable, are recognized as a component of interest expense over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding.  Refer to Note 11 for further information regarding the Company’s debt.

Share-Based Compensation
 
As more fully described in Note 16, the Company has certain share award plans that are either equity settled or liability settled.  For equity settled share award plans, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on a grant-date award fair value as determined using either the Black-Scholes model or the Monte Carlo model, ratably over the requisite service period of each individual grant, which generally equals the vesting period.  For the liability settled share award plans, the associated compensation expense is recognized based on the change in fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period due to cash settlement alternatives.
   
 
Revenue and Expense Recognition
 
Premiums for traditional life insurance are reported as revenues when due.  Benefits, claims and expenses are associated with earned revenues in order to recognize profit over the lives of the contracts.  This association is accomplished through provisions for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of acquisition costs.
   
 
Deposits on interest-sensitive life products and investment contracts, principally deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts, are treated as policyholder deposits and excluded from revenue.  Revenues consist primarily of investment income and charges assessed against the account value for mortality charges, surrenders, variable annuity benefit guarantees and administrative expenses.  Fee income also includes revenues related to asset management fees and certain service fees.  Surrender benefits are treated as repayments of the policyholder account.  Annuity benefit payments are treated as reductions to the policyholder account.  Death benefits in excess of the policyholder account are recognized as an expense when incurred.  Expenses consist primarily of the interest credited to policyholder deposits.  Underwriting and other acquisition expenses are associated with gross profit in order to recognize profit over the life of the business.  This is accomplished through deferral and amortization of acquisition costs and sales inducements.  Expenses not related to policy acquisition are recognized when incurred.
   
 
Investment income is not accrued on securities in default and otherwise where the collection is uncertain.  In these cases, receipts of interest on such securities are used to reduce the cost basis of the securities.
   
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Company has evaluated events through March 12, 2013, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
   
3.
Acquisition
   
 
On September 4, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the equity in SRLC from Swiss Re for a preliminary purchase price of $663.3 million, which was reduced by an estimated $73.9 million current net operating loss carryback income tax recoverable, resulting in an initial cash payment of $589.4 million at the time of sale. Subsequent adjustments reduced the preliminary purchase price to $587.3 million, which remains subject to final agreement with Swiss Re.
   
 
SRLC’s primary subsidiary was REALIC, which was merged into Jackson as of December 31, 2012.  REALIC’s primary business activity involved the acquisition of blocks of life insurance, including corporate owned life insurance, disability income and/or annuity contracts in force.  In addition to REALIC, SRLC had several other insignificant subsidiaries.  Subsequent to the purchase, SRLC was dissolved and its subsidiaries became direct subsidiaries of Jackson.  The acquisition expanded Jackson’s life insurance base, further diversifying risk, while taking advantage of Jackson’s low cost structure.  The results of the above mentioned subsidiaries have been included in these consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
   
 
In conjunction with the acquisition, which was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, the Company recorded a VOBA intangible asset of $8.0 million, which is included in other assets.  This intangible asset represents the actuarially estimated present value of future cash flows from the acquired policies.  The Company has established this VOBA intangible asset for the acquired traditional life insurance products and deferred annuity contracts, as a result of the acquisition.  This intangible asset will be amortized over the life of the business, which approximates 20 years.  The unamortized VOBA balance is subject to recoverability testing at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the balance does not exceed the present value of anticipated gross profits.

In accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations, the Company will continue to review the balance sheet and record required adjustments, for up to a twelve month period following the acquisition close date, in order to reflect updated information on certain accruals, related expenses, or other potential valuation adjustments, if further refined information becomes available.   
   
 
The Company obtained third-party valuations of certain of its reserves on the acquired blocks of business.  All estimates, key assumptions, or other valuation methodologies were either provided by or reviewed by the Company.  While the Company chose to utilize a third-party valuation firm, the fair value analyses and valuation methodologies related to its reserves represent the conclusions of the Company’s management and not the conclusions or statements of any third-party.  The Company is continuing to further analyze and refine the valuation methodologies and calculations related to its reserves and any fair value adjustments to the reserves, including any associated reinsurance recoverable.  Further refinement of the reserves may also result in a corresponding adjustment to deferred taxes.  Any measurement period adjustments determined to be material will be applied retrospectively to the acquisition date in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, depending on the nature of the adjustments, the Company’s operating results subsequent to the respective acquisition period could be affected. In addition, certain purchase price adjustments presented to the seller are still subject to finalization and could result in additional adjustments to the purchase price.

4.
Investments
   
 
Investments are comprised primarily of fixed-income securities, primarily publicly traded industrial, utility and government bonds, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage loans.  Asset-backed securities include mortgage-backed and other structured securities.  The Company generates the majority of its general account deposits from interest-sensitive individual annuity contracts, life insurance products and guaranteed investment contracts on which it has committed to pay a declared rate of interest.  The Company’s strategy of investing in fixed-income securities and loans aims to ensure matching of the asset yield with the amounts credited to the interest-sensitive liabilities and to earn a stable return on its investments.

Fixed Maturities
 
The following table sets forth the composition of the fair value of fixed maturities at December 31, 2012, classified by rating categories as assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), or if not rated by such organizations, the Company’s affiliated investment advisor. At December 31, 2012, the carrying value of investments rated by the Company’s affiliated investment advisor totaled $338.0 million.  For purposes of the table, if not otherwise rated higher by a NRSRO, NAIC Class 1 investments are included in the A rating; Class 2 in BBB; Class 3 in BB and Classes 4 through 6 in B and below.

At December 31, 2012, based on ratings by NRSROs, of the total carrying value of fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, 86% were investment grade, 9% were below investment grade and 5% were not rated.  Unrealized losses on fixed maturities that were below investment grade or not rated were approximately 38% of the aggregate gross unrealized losses on available for sale fixed maturities.
   
 
Corporate securities in an unrealized loss position were diversified across industries.  As of December 31, 2012, the industries accounting for the larger percentage of unrealized losses included computers and electronics (1.45% of fixed maturities gross unrealized losses) and retail (1.11%).  The largest unrealized loss related to a single corporate obligor was $3.4 million at December 31, 2012.
   
 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, fair value and non-credit other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of available for sale fixed maturities, including $319.3 million and $126.7 million in securities carried at fair value under the fair value option, were as follows (in thousands):

The Company defines its exposure to non-agency residential mortgage loans as follows.  Prime loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to the highest rated borrowers.  Alt-A loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to borrowers who lack credit documentation or necessary requirements to obtain prime borrower rates.  Subprime loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to borrowers that have a FICO score of 680 or lower.  Of the Company’s investments in Alt-A related mortgage-backed securities, 13% are rated investment grade by at least one NRSRO.  Of the Company’s investments in subprime related mortgage-backed securities, 29% are rated investment grade by at least one NRSRO.  In 2012, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $4.5 million, $11.3 million, and $9.5 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively.  In 2011, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $14.1 million, $20.2 million, and $4.5 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively.  In 2010, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $23.0 million, $50.5 million, and $11.4 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively.
   
 
Asset-backed securities also include investments in securities which are collateralized by commercial mortgage loans (“CMBS”).  At December 31, 2012, the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s investment in CMBS was $3.8 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively, of which 99% were rated investment grade by at least one NRSRO.  In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges on CMBS of $3.4 million, $1.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively.
   
 
Corporate securities include direct investments in below investment grade syndicated bank loans.  Unlike most corporate debentures, syndicated bank loans are collateralized by specific tangible assets of the borrowers.  As such, investors in these securities that become impaired have historically experienced less severe losses compared to corporate bonds.  At December 31, 2012, the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s direct investments in bank loans were $87.1 million and $87.7 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2011, the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s direct investments in bank loans were $64.9 million and $63.8 million, respectively.  The Company did not have any impairments on these securities in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments on Available For Sale Securities
 
The Company periodically reviews its available for sale fixed maturities on a case-by-case basis to determine if any decline in fair value to below cost or amortized cost is other-than-temporary.  Factors considered in determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary include the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position, the severity of the unrealized loss and the reasons for the decline in value and expectations for the amount and timing of a recovery in fair value.
   
 
Securities the Company determines are underperforming or potential problem securities are subject to regular review.  To facilitate the review, securities with significant declines in value, or where other objective criteria evidencing credit deterioration have been met, are included on a watch list.  Among the criteria for securities to be included on a watch list are: credit deterioration that has led to a significant decline in fair value of the security; a significant covenant related to the security has been breached; or an issuer has filed or indicated a possibility of filing for bankruptcy, has missed or announced it intends to miss a scheduled interest or principal payment, or has experienced a specific material adverse change that may impair its creditworthiness.
   
 
In performing these reviews, the Company considers the relevant facts and circumstances relating to each investment and exercises considerable judgment in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired.  Assessment factors include judgments about an obligor’s current and projected financial position, an issuer’s current and projected ability to service and repay its debt obligations, the existence of, and realizable value of, any collateral backing the obligations and the macro-economic and micro-economic outlooks for specific industries and issuers.  This assessment may also involve assumptions regarding underlying collateral such as prepayment rates, default and recovery rates, and third-party servicing capabilities.
   
 
Among the specific factors considered are whether the decline in fair value results from a change in the credit quality of the security itself, or from a downward movement in the market as a whole, and the likelihood of recovering the carrying value based on the near-term prospects of the issuer.  Unrealized losses that are considered to be primarily the result of market conditions (e.g., minor increases in interest rates, temporary market illiquidity or volatility, or industry-related events) are usually determined to be temporary, and where the Company also believes there exists a reasonable expectation for recovery in the near term.  To the extent that factors contributing to impairment losses recognized affect other investments, such investments are also reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment and losses are recorded when appropriate.
   
 
In addition to the review procedures described above, investments in asset-backed securities where market prices are depressed are subject to a review of their future estimated cash flows, including expected and stress case scenarios, to identify potential shortfalls in contractual payments.  These estimated cash flows are developed using available performance indicators from the underlying assets including current and projected default or delinquency rates, levels of credit enhancement, current subordination levels, vintage, expected loss severity and other relevant characteristics.  These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions.  Where possible, this data is benchmarked against third-party sources.
   
 
Even in the case of severely depressed market values on asset-backed securities, the Company places significant reliance on the results of its cash flow testing and its lack of an intent to sell these securities until their fair values recover when reaching other-than-temporary impairment conclusions with regard to these securities.  Other-than-temporary impairment charges are recorded on asset-backed securities when the Company forecasts a contractual payment shortfall.
   
 
Jackson recognizes other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities in an unrealized loss position when any one of the following circumstances exists:
 
 
The Company does not expect full recovery of the amortized cost based on the discounted cash flows estimated to be collected;
 
The Company intends to sell a security; or,
 
It is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security prior to recovery.

For mortgage-backed securities, credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgages, using the security-specific collateral characteristics and transaction structure.  The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans and distributes those cash flows to various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements existing in that structure.  The cash flow model incorporates actual cash flows on the mortgage-backed securities through the current period and then projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severity.
   
 
Specifically for Prime and Alt-A RMBS, the default percentage is dependent on the severity of delinquency status, with foreclosures and real estate owned receiving higher rates, but also includes the currently performing loans.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, default rates for delinquent loans ranged from 15% to 100%.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, loss severities were applied to generate and analyze cash flows of each bond and ranged from 30% to 70% and 30% to 65%, respectively.
   
 
These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions.  Where possible, this data is benchmarked against other third-party sources.  In addition, these estimates are extrapolated along a default timing curve to estimate the total lifetime pool default rate.
   
 
Other-than-temporary impairments are calculated as the difference between amortized cost and fair value.  For other-than-temporarily impaired securities where Jackson does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that Jackson will be required to sell the security prior to recovery, total other-than-temporary impairments are reduced by the non-credit portion of the other-than-temporary impairments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.  The resultant net other-than-temporary impairments recorded in net income reflect the credit loss on the other-than-temporarily impaired securities.  The amortized cost of the other-than-temporarily impaired securities is reduced by the amount of this credit loss.
   
 
For securities that were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and for which a non-credit loss was recorded in other comprehensive income, the amount recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) represents the difference between the fair value and the new amortized cost basis of the securities.  The unrealized gain (loss) on other-than-temporarily impaired securities is recorded in other comprehensive income.
   
 
The following table summarizes net realized investment gains (losses) for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $649.0 million, $1,053.2 million, and $1,926.7 million, respectively, which was approximately 91%, 93%, and 84% of book value, respectively.

  $ 364,186     $ 404,756  

 
There are inherent uncertainties in assessing the fair values assigned to the Company’s investments and in determining whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary.  The Company’s reviews of net present value and fair value involve several criteria including economic conditions, credit loss experience, other issuer-specific developments and estimated future cash flows.  These assessments are based on the best available information at the time.  Factors such as market liquidity, the widening of bid/ask spreads and a change in the cash flow assumptions can contribute to future price volatility.  If actual experience differs negatively from the assumptions and other considerations used in the consolidated financial statements, unrealized losses currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income may be recognized in the consolidated income statements in future periods.
   
 
The Company currently has no intent to sell securities with unrealized losses considered to be temporary until they mature or recover in value and believes that it has the ability to do so.  However, if the specific facts and circumstances surrounding an individual security, or the outlook for its industry sector change, the Company may sell the security prior to its maturity or recovery and realize a loss.
   
 
Commercial Mortgage Loans
 
Commercial mortgage loans of $5.8 billion and $5.5 billion at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are reported net of an allowance for loan losses of $20.4 million and $20.1 million at each date, respectively.  At December 31, 2012, commercial mortgage loans were collateralized by properties located in 42 states.  Jackson’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio does not include single-family residential mortgage loans, and is therefore not exposed to the risk of defaults associated with residential subprime mortgage loans.  Jackson periodically reviews these loans for impairment and, during 2012, 2011, and 2010, recognized impairment charges against the allowance for loan losses of $8.4 million, $34.5 million, and $17.7 million, respectively.  In addition, Jackson recorded an impairment as a realized loss of $9.7 million during 2011.

The $3.0 million balance of commercial mortgage loans at December 31, 2011 that were greater than 90 days delinquent were also restructured.
   
 
During 2012 and 2011, there were no commercial mortgage loans involved in a troubled debt restructuring.
   
 
Securitizations
 
In 2003, Jackson executed the Piedmont CDO Trust (“Piedmont”) securitization transaction.  In this transaction, Jackson contributed $1,159.6 million of asset-backed securities, ultimately to Piedmont, which issued several classes of debt to acquire such securities.  The transaction was recorded as a sale; however, Jackson retained beneficial interests in the contributed asset-backed securities of approximately 80% by acquiring certain securities issued by Piedmont.  Prior to 2010, Piedmont, a qualified special purpose entity, was not consolidated by Jackson.
   
 
Revised accounting guidance on certain investment funds eliminated the qualifying special purpose entity exemption for consolidation.  Since Jackson was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Piedmont, consolidation of Piedmont was required in 2010.
   
 
As a result of this change, the Company recorded a decrease in retained earnings of $48.2 million upon consolidation of Piedmont.  At December 31, 2010, Piedmont’s assets of $463.9 million and liabilities to external parties of $26.2 million were included in Jackson’s financial statements.  At the date of adoption, Jackson also elected to carry the assets and liabilities in the Piedmont trust at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in the consolidated income statement.
   
 
During 2011, Jackson purchased the remaining outstanding external interest and, as a result, Piedmont was terminated.
   
 
In 2001, Jackson executed the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Capital I, Series 2001-PPM (“MSDW”) securitization transaction.  Jackson contributed commercial mortgages with a total principal amount of $623.6 million to MSDW and retained beneficial interest.  Prior to 2010, MSDW, a qualified special purpose entity, was not consolidated by Jackson.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011


 
Effective January 1, 2010, as a result of adoption of accounting guidance on certain investment funds, the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of MSDW and, therefore, consolidated MSDW.  In March 2011, the external debt of MSDW was paid off entirely.  As such, Jackson’s consolidated financial statements include MSDW assets of $36.5 million and $48.1 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
   
 
Other Invested Assets
 
Other invested assets primarily include investments in limited partnerships, real estate, and other loans.  Investments in limited partnerships have carrying values of $1,219.5 million and $1,086.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Real estate totaling $149.2 million and $168.9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, includes foreclosed properties with a book value of $0.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively.
   
 
Limited Purpose Enhanced Return Entities (“SERVES”)
 
In 2004, Jackson acquired a $47.5 million debt interest in a limited purpose entity, SERVES 2004-1 (“SERVES 3”), formed to pass through leveraged investment returns based on the performance of an underlying reference pool of syndicated bank loans totaling up to $300.0 million.  Jackson’s interest represented 95% of the capital structure of the entity.  Based on the Company’s initial analysis, it concluded that SERVES 3 was a VIE and that the Company was not the primary beneficiary.  Thus, the Company’s investment was initially reported at the fair value of this debt instrument.
   
 
During 2008, Jackson entered into “Option Put and Forbearance Agreements” with the counterparty to the SERVES 3 entity in exchange for the counterparty forbearing its right to initiate forced liquidation of the entity under certain market value triggers.  During 2009, Jackson entered into revised forbearance agreements with this counterparty.  The support provided by the agreement at December 31, 2012 could potentially expose Jackson to maximum losses of $51.1 million, if circumstances allowed the forbearance period to cease.  Jackson believes that, so long as the forbearance period continues, the risk of loss under the agreement is remote.
   
 
As a result of the additional exposure to SERVES 3 upon entering into the “Option Put and Forbearance Agreement”, Jackson determined that it is the primary beneficiary of SERVES 3 and, accordingly, consolidated SERVES 3 in its financial statements.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the underlying assets of $19.6 million and $49.5 million and net liabilities of $6.3 million and $2.7 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, of this entity.  The creditors of SERVES 3 do not have recourse to the general credit of Jackson.
   
 
In 2008, Jackson acquired $40.0 million of debt interests in a limited purpose entity, SERVES 2006-1 (“SERVES 4”), formed to pass through leveraged investment returns based on the performance of an underlying reference pool of syndicated bank loans totaling up to $500.0 million.  At the acquisition date, the Company performed an analysis, which produced return scenarios based on various assumptions for the reference pool, including spread income, default and recovery ratios, and holding period appreciation/depreciation, to determine whether the structure was a VIE and, if so, whether Jackson was the primary beneficiary.  Based on the results of this analysis, the Company concluded that SERVES 4 was a VIE and that Jackson was not the primary beneficiary.  Thus, the Company’s investment is reported at the fair value of this debt instrument.  SERVES 4 notes were sold at par in May 2011.
   
 
Securities Lending
 
The Company has entered into securities lending agreements with an agent bank whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $149.5 million and $51.6 million, respectively.  The agreements require a minimum of 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities to be held as collateral, calculated on a daily basis.  To further minimize the credit risks related to this program, the financial condition of counterparties is monitored on a regular basis.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, cash collateral received in the amount of $153.7 million and $53.3 million, respectively, was invested by the agent bank and included in cash and cash equivalents of the Company.  A securities lending payable is included in liabilities for the amount of cash collateral received.
   
 
Securities lending transactions are used to generate income.  Income and expenses associated with these transactions are reported as net investment income.

Repurchase Agreements
 
The Company routinely enters into repurchase agreements whereby the Company agrees to sell and repurchase securities.  These agreements are accounted for as financing transactions, with the assets and associated liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets.  During 2012 and 2011, short-term borrowings under such agreements averaged $176.7 million and $316.4 million, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 0.2% for both years.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the outstanding balance was $0 and $100.7 million, respectively, which was included within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.  Interest expense totaled $0.3 million, $0.5 million, and $0.6 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  The highest level of short-term borrowings at any month end was $544.7 million in 2012 and $683.2 million in 2011.

Derivative Instruments
   
 
Jackson’s business model includes the acceptance, monitoring and mitigation of risk.  Specifically, Jackson considers, among other factors, exposures to interest rate and equity market movements, foreign exchange rates and other asset or liability prices.  The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate or reduce these risks in accordance with established policies and goals.  Jackson’s derivative holdings, while effective in managing defined risks, are not structured to meet accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments.  As a result, freestanding derivatives are carried at fair value with changes recorded in other investment losses.
   
 
Cross-currency swaps, which embody spot and forward currency swaps and, in some cases, interest rate and equity index swaps, are entered into for the purpose of hedging the Company issued foreign currency denominated trust instruments supported by funding agreements.  Cross-currency swaps serve to hedge foreign currency exchange risk embedded in the funding agreements and are carried at fair value.  The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, as well as unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements.  Foreign currency translation gains and losses associated with funding agreement hedging activities are included in other investment losses.

Credit default swaps, with maturities up to five years, are agreements where the Company has purchased default protection on certain underlying corporate bonds held in its portfolio.  These contracts allow the Company to sell the protected bonds at par value to the counterparty if a defined “default event” occurs, in exchange for periodic payments made by the Company for the life of the agreement.  Credit default swaps are carried at fair value.  The Company does not currently sell default protection using credit default swaps or other similar derivative instruments.
   
 
Put-swaption contracts provide the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to require the writer to pay the present value of a long-term interest rate swap at future exercise dates.  The Company purchases and writes put-swaptions for hedging purposes with original maturities of up to 10 years.  Put-swaptions hedge against significant upward movements in interest rates.  Written put-swaptions are entered into in conjunction with associated put-swaptions purchased from the same counterparties, referred to as linked put-swaptions.  Linked put-swaptions have identical notional amounts and strike prices, but have different underlying swap terms.  Due to the right of offset, linked put-swaptions are presented at the fair value of the net position with each counterparty.  Non-linked put-swaptions are carried at fair value.
   
 
Equity index futures contracts and equity index options (including various call and put options and put spreads), which are used to hedge the Company’s obligations associated with its index linked annuities and guarantees in variable annuity products, are carried at fair value.  These insurance products contain embedded options whose fair value is reported in other contract holder funds.
   
 
Total return swaps, for which the Company receives equity returns or returns based on reference pools of assets in exchange for short-term floating rate payments based on notional amounts, are held for both hedging and investment purposes, and are carried at fair value.
   
 
Interest rate swap agreements used for hedging purposes generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating payments based on a notional contract amount over the period for which the agreement remains outstanding without an exchange of the underlying notional amount.  Interest rate swaps are carried at fair value.  During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into various interest rate swap transactions to more closely match the overall asset and liability duration.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011


 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative assets by counterparty were $1,546.6 million and $1,457.1 million, respectively, and held collateral was $1,760.7 million and $1,505.5 million, respectively, related to these agreements.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative liabilities by counterparty were $82.4 million and $230.5 million, respectively, and provided collateral was $10.8 million and $172.5 million, respectively, related to these agreements.  All of Jackson’s master swap agreements contain credit downgrade provisions that allow a party to assign or terminate derivative transactions if the counterparty’s credit rating declines below an established limit.  If all of these provisions had been triggered at December 31, 2012 or 2011, Jackson would have to disburse $285.7 million and $106.5 million, respectively, to counterparties, representing the net fair values of derivatives by counterparty, less collateral held.

Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information.  Jackson utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  All assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be classified into one of the following categories:

 
Level 1
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities and exchange traded equity securities and derivative instruments.
     
 
Level 2
Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.  Most fixed maturity securities that are model priced using observable inputs are classified within Level 2.  Also included are freestanding and embedded derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs.

Level 3
Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk).  Limited partnership interests and those embedded derivative instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3.  Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment may be used to determine the Level 3 fair values.  Level 3 fair values represent the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

 
In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In these situations, the Company will determine the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value.  As a result, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used in the determination of fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.
   
 
The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available.  The Company may also determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate.  When appropriate, fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity and risk margins on unobservable inputs.
   
 
Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data, as well as the best information about the individual financial instrument.  At times, illiquid market conditions may result in inactive markets for certain of the Company’s financial instruments.  In such instances, there is generally no or limited observable market data for these assets and liabilities.  Fair value estimates for financial instruments deemed to be in an illiquid market are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, currency, credit and interest rate risks, loss experience and other factors.  These fair values are estimates and involve considerable uncertainty and variability as a result of the inputs selected and may differ materially from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.  As a result of market inactivity, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.  In addition, changes in the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement technique could significantly affect these fair value estimates.
   
 
The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values of the financial instruments measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis reported in the following tables.
   
 
Fixed Maturity and Trading Securities
 
The fair values for fixed maturity and trading securities are determined by management using information available from independent pricing services, broker-dealer quotes, or internally derived estimates.  Priority is given to publicly available prices from independent sources, when available.  Securities for which the independent pricing service does not provide a quotation are either submitted to independent broker-dealers for prices or priced internally.  Typically inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, liquidity premiums and/or estimated cash flows based on default and prepayment assumptions.
   
 
As a result of typical trading volumes and the lack of specific quoted market prices for most fixed maturities, independent pricing services will normally derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information as outlined above.  If there are no recently reported trades, the independent pricing services and broker-dealers may use matrix or pricing model processes to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at relevant market rates.  Certain securities are priced using broker-dealer quotes, which may utilize proprietary inputs and models.  Additionally, the majority of these quotes are non-binding.
   
 
Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities.  Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment assumptions believed to be relevant for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

Internally derived estimates may be used to develop a fair value for securities for which the Company is unable to obtain either a reliable price from an independent pricing service or a suitable broker-dealer quote.  These estimates may incorporate Level 2 and Level 3 inputs and are generally derived using expected future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates available from market sources based on the credit quality and duration of the instrument to determine fair value.  For securities that may not be reliably priced using these internally developed pricing models, a fair value may be estimated using indicative market prices.  These prices are indicative of an exit price, but the assumptions used to establish the fair value may not be observable or corroborated by market observable information and, therefore, are considered to be Level 3 inputs.
   
 
The Company performs a monthly analysis on the prices and credit spreads received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value.  This process involves quantitative and qualitative analysis and is overseen by investment and accounting professionals.  Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, initial and ongoing review of third party pricing service methodologies, review of pricing statistics and trends, back testing recent trades and monitoring of trading volumes.  In addition, the Company considers whether prices received from independent broker-dealers represent a reasonable estimate of fair value through the use of internal and external cash flow models, which are developed based on spreads and, when available, market indices.  As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the available market data, the price received from the third party may be adjusted accordingly.
   
 
For those securities that were internally valued at December 31, 2012 and 2011, an internally developed model was used to determine the fair value.  The pricing model used by the Company utilizes current spread levels of similarly rated securities to determine the market discount rate for the security.  Furthermore, appropriate risk premiums for illiquidity and non-performance are incorporated in the discount rate.  Cash flows, as estimated by the Company using issuer-specific default statistics and prepayment assumptions, are discounted to determine an estimated fair value. 
   
 
On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the independent pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs, and evaluates the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy distribution based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs.  Based on the results of this evaluation, each price is classified into Level 1, 2, or 3.  Most prices provided by independent pricing services, including broker-dealer quotes, are classified into Level 2 due to their use of market observable inputs.
   
 
Commercial Mortgage Loans
 
Fair values are determined by discounting expected future cash flows at current market interest rates, inclusive of a credit spread, for similar quality loans.  Certain loan characteristics considered significant in determining the spread may be based on internally developed estimates.  As a result, these investments have been classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
   
 
Policy Loans
 
The Company believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.  Policy loans are funds provided to policyholders in return for a claim on the policies values and function like demand deposits which are redeemable upon repayment, death or surrender, and there is only one market price at which the transaction could be settled – the then current carrying value.  The funds provided are limited to the cash surrender value of the underlying policy.  The nature of policy loans is to have a negligible default risk as the loans are fully collateralized by the value of the policy.  Policy loans do not have a stated maturity and the balances and accrued interest are repaid either by the policyholder or with proceeds from the policy.  Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans and unpredictable timing of payments, the Company believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.
   
 
Freestanding Derivative Instruments
 
Freestanding derivative instruments are reported at fair value, which reflects the estimated amounts, net of payment accruals, which the Company would receive or pay upon sale or termination of the contracts at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are included in other investment losses.  Freestanding derivatives priced using third party pricing services incorporate inputs that are predominantly observable in the market. Inputs used to value derivatives include, but are not limited to, interest rate swap curves, credit spreads, interest rates, counterparty credit risk, equity volatility and equity index levels.

Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 1 include futures, which are traded on active exchanges.  Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 2 include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, credit default swaps, total return swaps, put swaptions and equity index call and put options.  These derivative valuations are determined by third party pricing services using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
   
 
Limited Partnerships
 
Fair value for limited partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, is determined using the proportion of Jackson’s investment in each fund (NAV equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value.  No adjustments to these amounts were deemed necessary at December 31, 2012 or 2011.
   
 
The Company’s limited partnership investments are not redeemable and distributions received are the result of liquidation of the underlying assets of the partnerships.  The term of Jackson’s interest in the partnerships is generally ten years, but may be extended for a period of time under provisions within the partnership agreements, if applicable.  The Company generally has the ability under the partnership agreements to sell its interest to another limited partner with the prior written consent of the general partner.  It is not probable and there is no instance where Jackson contemplated selling a limited partnership interest for an amount different from its NAV equivalent.
   
 
Funds Held Under Reinsurance Treaties
 
The fair value of the funds held is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral, which primarily consist of policy loans and fixed maturities.
   
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents primarily include money market instruments and bank deposits.  Certain money market instruments are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1.
   
 
Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
 
Separate account assets are comprised of investments in mutual funds, which are categorized as Level 1 assets.  The value of separate account liabilities are set equal to the value of separate account assets.
   
 
Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable
 
Fair values for immediate annuities without mortality features are derived by discounting the future estimated cash flows using current market interest rates for similar maturities.  Fair values for deferred annuities, including index linked annuities, are determined using projected future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.
   
 
Other Contract Holder Funds
 
Fair values for guaranteed investment contracts are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.
   
 
Fair values for trust instruments supported by funding agreements are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates, plus the fair value of any embedded derivatives that are not required to be reported separately.
   
 
Fair values of the FHLBI funding agreements are based on present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.
   
 
Debt
 
Carrying value of the Company’s short-term debt is considered a reasonable estimate for fair value due to their short-term maturity.  Fair values of long-term debt are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Certain Guaranteed Benefits
 
Variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, withdrawal, income and accumulation benefits.  Certain benefits, primarily non-life contingent guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWB”), guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”) and the reinsured portion of the Company’s guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”), are recorded at fair value.  Guaranteed benefits that are not subject to fair value accounting are accounted for as insurance benefits.
   
 
Non-life contingent GMWBs and GMABs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other investment losses.  The fair value of the reserve is based on the expectations of future benefit payments and future fees associated with the benefits.  At the inception of the contract, the Company attributes to the derivative a portion of total fees collected from the contract holder, which is then held static in future valuations.  Those fees, generally referred to as the attributed fees, are set such that the present value of the attributed fees is equal to the present value of future claims expected to be paid under the guaranteed benefit at the inception of the contract.  In subsequent valuations, both the present value of future benefits and the present value of attributed fees are revalued based on current market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions.  The difference between each of the two components represents the fair value of the embedded derivative.  Jackson discontinued offering the GMAB in 2011.
   
 
Jackson’s GMIB book is reinsured through an unrelated party and, due to the net settlement provisions of the reinsurance agreement, this contract meets the definition of a freestanding derivative.  Accordingly, the GMIB reinsurance agreement is recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other investment losses.  Due to the inability to economically reinsure or hedge new issues of the GMIB, the Company discontinued offering the benefit in 2009.
   
 
Fair values for GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives, as well as GMIB reinsurance recoverables, are calculated using internally developed models because active, observable markets do not exist for those guaranteed benefits.
   
 
The fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected benefit payments, less future attributed rider fees, over the lives of the contracts.  Estimating these cash flows requires numerous estimates and subjective judgments related to capital market inputs, as well as actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior.  Capital market inputs include expected market rates of return, market volatility, correlations of market index returns to funds, fund performance and discount rates.  The more significant actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization by policyholders under varying conditions, persistency, mortality, and withdrawal rates.  Because of the dynamic and complex nature of these cash flows, best estimate assumptions, plus risk margins, and a stochastic process involving the generation of thousands of scenarios that assume risk neutral returns consistent with swap rates are used.
 
 
 
At each valuation date, the Company assumes expected returns based on LIBOR swap rates as of that date to determine the value of expected future cash flows produced in the stochastic process.  Volatility assumptions are based on a weighting of available market data for implied market volatility for durations up to 10 years, at which point the projected volatility is held constant.  Additionally, non-performance risk is incorporated into the calculation through the use of discount rates based on a AA corporate credit curve as an approximation of Jackson’s own credit risk.  Other risk margins, particularly for policyholder behavior, are also incorporated into the model through the use of best estimate assumptions, plus a risk margin.  Estimates of future policyholder behavior are subjective and are based primarily on the Company’s experience.
   
 
As markets change, mature and evolve and actual policyholder behavior emerges, management continually evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions for this component of the fair value model.
   
 
The use of the models and assumptions described above requires a significant amount of judgment.  Management believes the aggregation of each of these components results in an amount that the Company would be required to transfer for a liability, or receive for an asset, to or from a willing buyer or seller, if one existed, for those market participants to assume the risks associated with the guaranteed benefits and the related reinsurance.  However, the ultimate settlement amount of the liability, which is currently unknown, could likely be significantly different than this fair value.

Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs
 
The following is a general description of sensitivities of significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the fair value measurement for the assets and liabilities reflected in the table above.
   
 
Internally-priced corporate securities classified in Level 3 include private debt securities for which no price comparatives or spread levels can be observed.  For these securities, a discounted cash flow model was used and the primary unobservable input is an internally-developed discount rate.  Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
   
 
Other asset-backed securities classified in Level 3 are fair valued using a discounted cash flow model.  Unobservable inputs include an internally developed discount rate.  Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
   
 
Residential mortgage-backed securities of $31 thousand and trading securities of $140 thousand are fair valued using techniques incorporating unobservable inputs and are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  For these assets, their unobservable inputs and ranges of possible inputs do not materially affect their fair valuations and have been excluded from the quantitative information in the table above.
   
 
The GMIB reinsurance recoverable fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected reinsurance benefit receipts, less future attributed premium payments to reinsurers, over the lives of the contracts.  Estimating these cash flows requires actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior.  The more significant actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization, persistency, and mortality.  In general, an increase (decrease) in assumed benefit utilization would increase (decrease) the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable; an increase (decrease) in assumed persistency would increase (decrease) the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable; and an increase (decrease) in assumed mortality would decrease (increase) the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable.
   
 
Embedded derivative liabilities classified in Level 3 represent the fair value of GMWB and GMAB liabilities.  These fair value calculations are based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected benefit payments, less future attributed rider fees, over the lives of the contracts.   Estimating these cash flows requires actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior.  The more significant actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization, persistency, and mortality.  In general, an increase (decrease) in assumed benefit utilization would increase (decrease) the fair value of the liabilities; an increase (decrease) in assumed persistency would increase (decrease) the fair value of the liabilities; and an increase (decrease) in assumed mortality would decrease (increase) the fair value of the liabilities.
 
 
 
Derivative instruments consist of a total return swap based on a reference pool of syndicated bank loan investments.  Inputs to fair value include broker quotes for the underlying assets, earnings on the reference pool, and an estimate for the embedded financing cost, which is a significant and unobservable input.  Significant increases (decreases) in estimated comparable financing costs would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

The tables below provide rollforwards for 2012 and 2011 of the financial instruments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are used in the fair value measurement.  Gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due partly to observable and unobservable factors.  The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities.  However, the derivative instruments hedging the related risks may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities.  Therefore, the impact of the derivative instruments reported in Level 3 below may vary significantly from the total income effect of the hedged instruments.  Additionally, the Company’s policy for determining and disclosing transfers between levels is to recognize transfers using beginning of period balances.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, Jackson transferred securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $25.3 million from Level 3 to Level 2 as a result of the Company being able to obtain pricing from an independent, third-party pricing service utilizing significant observable inputs.
   
 
For the year ended December 31, 2011, Jackson transferred securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $9.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively, into Level 3 from Level 2 as a result of third party pricing not being available.  There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy in 2012 or 2011.

Fair Value Option
 
As described in Note 2, in connection with the acquisition of REALIC, the Company elected the fair value option for certain assets, which are held as collateral for reinsurance.  Accordingly, the Company established a funds held liability, for which the Company also elected the fair value option.  The value of the funds held liability is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral.  The income and any changes in unrealized gains and losses on these assets and the corresponding funds held liability are included in net investment income and have no impact on the Company’s consolidated income statement. Income and changes in unrealized gains and losses on other assets for which the Company has elected the fair value option are immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8.
Reinsurance
   
 
The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance from and to other insurance companies in order to limit losses from large exposures; however, if the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations, the originating issuer of the coverage retains the liability.  The Company reinsures certain of its risks to other reinsurers under a yearly renewable term, coinsurance, or modified coinsurance basis.  The Company monitors the financial strength rating of reinsurers on a monthly basis.
   
 
The Company previously acquired certain lines of business that are wholly ceded to non-affiliates.  These include both direct and assumed accident and health business, direct and assumed life insurance business, and certain institutional annuities.
   
 
Jackson’s GMIBs are reinsured through an unrelated party and, due to the net settlement provisions of the reinsurance agreement, meet the definition of a derivative.  Accordingly, the GMIB reinsurance agreement is recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded in other investment losses.
   
 
As a pre-closing condition to the acquisition described in Note 3, and after receipt of all required regulatory approvals, REALIC entered into three retro treaties with SRZ.  Pursuant to these retro treaties, REALIC ceded to SRZ on a 100% coinsurance basis certain blocks of business written or assumed by REALIC.  These blocks of business include the disability income and accident and health business written or assumed by REALIC, a mix of life and annuity insurance business written or assumed by REALIC, and the corporate owned life insurance business assumed by REALIC.  The effective date of the three retrocession agreements was July 1, 2012.
   
 
Pursuant to the retro treaties, the Company holds certain assets, primarily in the form of policy loans and fixed maturities, as collateral for the reinsurance recoverable.  Accordingly, the Company established a corresponding funds held under reinsurance treaties liability.  At December 31, 2012, this funds held liability was $3.3 billion.

For traditional life insurance contracts, which include term and whole life, reserves are determined using the net level premium method and assumptions as of the issue date or acquisition date as to mortality, interest, persistency and expenses, plus provisions for adverse deviation.  The acquisition of REALIC increased the Company’s traditional life reserves at December 31, 2012 by $12.1 billion.
   
 
The Company’s liability for future policy benefits also includes liabilities for guarantee benefits related to certain nontraditional long-duration life and annuity contracts, which are further discussed in Note 10.

For interest-sensitive life contracts, liabilities approximate the policyholder’s account value, plus the unamortized balance of the fair value adjustment related to the REALIC acquired business.  The liability for fixed index annuities is based on two components, 1) the imputed value of the underlying guaranteed host contract, and 2) the fair value of the embedded option component of the contract.  For fixed annuities and other investment contracts, as detailed in the above table, the liability is the policyholder’s account value, plus the unamortized balance of the fair value adjustment related to the REALIC acquired business.  At December 31, 2012, the Company had interest sensitive life business with minimum guaranteed interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 6.0%, with a 4.67% average guaranteed rate and fixed interest rate annuities with minimum guaranteed rates ranging from 1.0% to 5.5% and a 2.53% average guaranteed rate.

Upon acquisition of REALIC, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment related to certain annuity and interest sensitive liability blocks of business to reflect the cost of the interest guarantees within the inforce liabilities, based on the difference between the guaranteed interest rate and an assumed new money guaranteed interest rate.  This adjustment was recorded in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.  This component of the acquired reserve will be reassessed at the end of each period, taking into account changes in the inforce block and the relationship between guaranteed rates and market crediting rates.  Any resulting change in the reserve will be recorded as a change in reserve through the consolidated income statement.
   
 
The change in the fair value adjustments noted above have been included in the Company’s income statement as a change in reserve.
   
 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 88% and 83%, respectively, of the Company’s fixed interest rate annuity account values correspond to crediting rates that are at the minimum guaranteed interest rates.  The following tables show the distribution of the fixed interest rate annuities’ account values within the presented ranges of minimum guaranteed interest rates at December 31 (in millions):

The Company has established a European Medium Term Note program, with up to $7 billion in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time.  Jackson National Life Funding, LLC was formed as a special purpose vehicle solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited by the Company and secured by the issuance of funding agreements.  Carrying values totaled $0.6 billion and $0.7 billion at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
   
 
The Company has established a $10.8 billion aggregate Global Medium Term Note program.  Jackson National Life Global Funding was formed as a statutory business trust, solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited with Jackson and secured by the issuance of funding agreements.  The carrying values at December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $0.8 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.
   
 
Those Medium Term Note instruments issued in a foreign currency have been hedged for changes in exchange rates using cross-currency swaps.  The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, as well as unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements.
   
 
Trust instrument liabilities are adjusted to reflect the effects of foreign currency translation gains and losses using exchange rates as of the reporting date.  Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in other investment losses.
   
 
Jackson and Squire Re are members of the FHLBI primarily for the purpose of participating in the bank’s mortgage-collateralized loan advance program with short-term and long-term funding facilities.  Advances are in the form of short-term or long-term notes or funding agreements issued to FHLBI.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held $115.1 million and $107.0 million, respectively, of FHLBI capital stock, supporting $1.8 billion in funding agreements, short-term and long-term borrowing capacity in both years.
   
10.
Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and Variable Annuity Guarantees
 
The Company issues variable contracts through its separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder (traditional variable annuities).  The Company also issues variable annuity and life contracts through separate accounts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contract holder (variable contracts with guarantees) either a) return of no less than total deposits made to the contract adjusted for any partial withdrawals, b) total deposits made to the contract adjusted for any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return, or c) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date adjusted for any withdrawals following the contract anniversary.  These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death (GMDB), annuitization (GMIB), at specified dates during the accumulation period (GMWB) or at the end of a specified period (GMAB).
   
 
The assets supporting the variable portion of both traditional variable annuities and variable contracts with guarantees are carried at fair value and reported as summary total separate account assets with an equivalent summary total reported for separate account liabilities.  Liabilities for guaranteed benefits are general account obligations and are reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.  Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue as fee income.  Changes in liabilities for minimum guarantees are reported within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves within the consolidated income statement with the exception of changes in embedded derivatives, which are included in other investment losses.  Separate account net investment income, net investment realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the consolidated income statements.

Amounts shown as GMWB above include a ‘not-for-life’ component up to the point at which the guaranteed withdrawal benefit is exhausted, after which benefits paid are considered to be ‘for-life’ benefits.  The liability related to this ‘not-for-life’ portion is valued as an embedded derivative, while the ‘for-life’ benefits are valued as an insurance liability (see below).  For this table, the net amount at risk of the ‘not-for-life’ component is the undiscounted excess of the guaranteed withdrawal benefit over the account value, and that of the ‘for-life’ component is the estimated value of additional life contingent benefits paid after the guaranteed withdrawal benefit is exhausted.

Balance at December 31
  $ 480.1     $ 466.6     $ 342.0  

 
The GMDB liability is determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.  The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the liability balance through the income statement, within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.
   
 
The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the GMDB liability at both December 31, 2012 and 2011 (except where otherwise noted):
 
1)
Use of a series of deterministic investment performance scenarios, based on historical average market volatility.
 
2)
Mean investment performance assumption of ­­8.4% after investment management fees, but before investment advisory fees and mortality and expense charges.
 
3)
Mortality equal to 78.0% to 100% of the Annuity 2000 table.
 
4)
Lapse rates varying by contract type, duration and degree the benefit is in-the-money and ranging from 0.50% to 40.0%, with an average of 4.0% during the surrender charge period and 10.0% thereafter.
 
5)
Discount rate of 8.4%.

 
Most GMWB reserves are considered to be derivatives under current accounting guidance and are recognized at fair value, with the change in fair value reported in net income.  The fair value of these liabilities is determined using stochastic modeling and inputs as further described in Note 6.  The fair valued GMWB reserve totaled $1,219.0 million and $2,074.8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.
   
 
Jackson has also issued certain GMWB products that guarantee payments over a lifetime.  Reserves for the portion of these benefits after the point where the guaranteed withdrawal balance is exhausted are calculated similar to the GMDB liability with the sole exception that the reserve calculation uses a series of stochastic investment performance scenarios.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, these GMWB reserves totaled $21.2 million and $14.7 million, respectively, and were reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.

GMAB benefits were offered on some variable annuity plans.  However, the Company no longer offers these benefits. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the liability was $2.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
   
 
The direct GMIB liability is determined at each period end by estimating the expected value of the annuitization benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.  The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the liability balance through the income statement within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.  The assumptions used for calculating the direct GMIB liability at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are consistent with those used for calculating the GMDB liability.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, GMIB reserves before reinsurance totaled $16.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively.
   
 
Other Liabilities – Insurance and Annuitization Benefits
 
The Company has established additional reserves for life insurance business for universal life (“UL”) plans with secondary guarantees, interest-sensitive life (“ISWL”) plans that exhibit “profits followed by loss” patterns and account balance adjustments to tabular guaranteed cash values on one interest-sensitive life plan.  At December 31, 2012, this includes reserves for similar benefits on REALIC UL business acquired during the year.  The Company also has a small closed block of two-tier annuities, where different crediting rates are used for annuitization and surrender benefit calculations.  A liability is established to cover future annuitization benefits in excess of surrender values.  The total liability for this block is the surrender value, plus the annuitization reserve.
   
 
Liabilities for these benefits have been established according to the methodologies described below:

1)
Use of a series of deterministic premium persistency scenarios.
 
2)
Other experience assumptions similar to those used in amortization of deferred acquisition costs.
 
3)
Discount rates equal to the credited interest rates, approximately 4% to 5.5% projected.

 
The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the two-tier annuitization benefit liability at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

2)

Surplus notes
 
On March 15, 1997, the Company issued 8.15% surplus notes in the principal amount of $250.0 million due March 15, 2027.  These surplus notes were issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future indebtedness, policy claims and other creditor claims and may not be redeemed at the option of the Company or any holder prior to maturity.
   
 
Under Michigan Insurance Law, for statutory reporting purposes, the surplus notes are not part of the legal liabilities of the Company and are considered surplus funds.  Payments of interest or principal may only be made with the prior approval of the Commissioner of Insurance of the state of Michigan and only out of surplus earnings which the Commissioner determines to be available for such payments under Michigan Insurance Law.  Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15th and September 15th of each year.  Interest expense on the notes was $20.4 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010.
   
 
Mortgage loans
 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, certain consolidated real estate VIEs had outstanding mortgage loans with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%, with maturities through 2016.  Interest expense totaled $1.4 million, $1.4 million, and $2.1 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
   
 
VIE related borrowings
 
Certain of the Company’s VIEs have “equity” classes issued in the form of non-investment grade debt.  Accordingly, these equity classes are classified as notes payable rather than minority interest in the consolidated balance sheets.  These notes accrue contingent interest expense in addition to the stated coupon.  At December 31, 2011, there was a single equity class outstanding that matures in 2016.  The outstanding principal amount accrued interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.3% and 9.4% at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Interest expense on the notes in 2012, 2011, and 2010 totaled $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $8.8 million, respectively.
   
 
Additionally, certain of the Company’s consolidated VIEs issued debt to external parties, which was redeemed in 2011.  While outstanding, the principal amount accrued interest at a weighted average interest rate of 0.8% in 2011.  Interest expense on the notes totaled $0.2 million and $2.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, which were the only years these VIEs were consolidated in Jackson’s consolidated financial statements.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
   
 
The Company entered into a short-term advance program with the FHLBI in which interest rates were either fixed or variable based on the FHLBI cost of funds or market rates.  There were no advances outstanding at December 31, 2012.  Advances of $150.0 million at an interest rate of 0.14% were outstanding at December 31, 2011.  The Company paid interest of $0.3 million in 2012.  The Company did not pay interest during 2011 since advances were only drawn in December.  Advances were collateralized by CMBS and other structured securities with a carrying value of $165.7 million at December 31, 2011.

Federal income taxes paid (recovered) were $241.2 million, $170.0 million, and $(517.8) million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  The 2010 tax recovery included $287.7 million due to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance issued in March 2010 related to the adoption of new statutory reserving requirements for variable annuities in 2009 issued by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”).  This new tax guidance required that the tax reserve decrease recognized upon implementation of the transition to the new reserving methodology be amortized over 10 years.  Approximately $822.1 million of the additional tax reserve deduction was available to carryback and offset the prior year’s taxable income.  For GAAP, this guidance resulted in a current tax recoverable, offset by a decrease in a deferred tax asset, with no impact on total tax expense.

The Company is required to evaluate the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce its deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realizable.  Considerable judgment and the use of estimates are required when determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and, if so, the amount of such valuation allowance.  When evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers many factors, including: the nature and character of the deferred tax assets and liabilities; taxable income in prior carryback years; future reversals of temporary differences; the length of time carryovers can be utilized; and any tax planning strategies the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused.  Although realization is not assured, management believes as of December 31, 2012, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets, will be realized.  At December 31 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have a valuation allowance.
   
 
At December 31, 2012, the Company had a federal tax ordinary loss carryforward of $153.7 million which expires in 2026, that was attributable to the Company’s acquisition of REALIC.  Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.  The Section 382 limitation is an annual limitation on the amount of pre-acquisition NOLs that a corporation may use to offset post-acquisition income. Section 382 further limits certain unrealized built-in losses at the time of acquisition. The annual limitation, subject to potential purchase price adjustments, is approximately $20.0 million.

In August 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54 that would have changed accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing the computation of the Dividends Received Deduction (“DRD”) on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity and life contracts, but that ruling was suspended by Revenue Ruling 2007-61.  Revenue Ruling 2007-61 also announced the Treasury Department’s and the IRS’s intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the DRD on separate account assets held in connection with variable contracts.  Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations.  Although regulations that represent a substantial change in an interpretation of the law are generally given a prospective effective date, there is no assurance that the change will not be retrospectively applied.  As a result, depending on the ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations, which are unknown at this time, such future regulations could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives.  In January 2010, Jackson received a formal Notice of Assessment from the IRS disallowing the separate account DRD for 2003, 2005 and 2006.  Jackson did not agree with the assessment and filed a protest with the Appellate Division of the IRS.  In February 2013, the IRS fully conceded the separate account DRD issue in favor of the Company after obtaining approval from the Joint Committee on Taxation.
   
 
In February 2012, Brooke Life received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment from the IRS, regarding an assessment related to its tax treatment of interest expense on intercompany debt in 2007 and 2008.  Due to the intercompany tax sharing agreement, the effect of an adjustment, if any, would impact Jackson’s total stockholder’s equity.  The total aggregate exposure to the Company’s stockholder’s equity is approximately $160.0 million.  Brooke Life does not agree with the assessment, believes its current position is sustainable and filed a protest with the Appellate Division of the IRS.  In February 2013, the IRS fully conceded the debt/equity issue for years under examination in favor of the Company, subject to approval by the Joint Committee on Taxation.
   
 
During 2011, Jackson established a reserve for an unrecognized tax benefit as required for income tax uncertainties.  The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands).

Unrecognized tax benefit, end of year
  $ -     $ 45,065  

(1)
Elimination of reserve due to issuance of new IRS guidance

 
The Company has considered both permanent and temporary positions in determining the unrecognized tax benefit rollforward.  The total amount of unrecognized benefits represent tax positions for which there is uncertainty about the timing of certain deductions.  The timing of such deductions would not affect the annual effective tax rate, excluding the impact of interest and penalties.
   
 
Interest totaling $10.4 million related to these unrecognized tax benefits has been included in income tax expense in the consolidated income statement for 2011.  The Company has not recorded any amounts for penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits during 2012, 2011, or 2010.
   
 
Based on information available as of December 31, 2012, the Company believes that, in the next 12 months, there are no positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
   
 
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  It is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial condition.  Jackson has been named in civil litigation proceedings, which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers including a modal premium case and allegations of misconduct in the sale of insurance products.  The Company accrues for legal contingencies once the contingency is deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, Jackson recorded accruals totaling $32.9 million and $19.9 million, respectively.
   
 
State guaranty funds provide payments for policyholders of insolvent life insurance companies.  These guaranty funds are financed by assessing solvent insurance companies based on location, volume and types of business. The Company estimated its reserve for future state guaranty fund assessments based on data received from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations.  Based on data received, the Company’s reserve for future state guaranty fund assessments was $43.1 million and $26.6 million at the end of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Related premium tax offsets were $19.7 million and $15.3 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  While Jackson cannot predict the amount and timing of any future assessments, the Company believes the reserve is adequate for all anticipated payments for known insolvencies.
   
 
At December 31, 2012, the Company had unfunded commitments related to its investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies totaling $528.2 million.  At December 31, 2012, unfunded fixed-rate commercial mortgage loan commitments totaled $140.1 million.
   
 
The Company has received regulatory inquiries on an industry-wide matter relating to claims settlement practices and compliance with unclaimed property laws.  Concurrently, some regulators and state legislatures have required and others are considering proposals that would require life insurance companies to take additional steps to identify unreported deceased policy and contract holders.  Additionally, numerous states are contracting with independent firms to perform specific unclaimed property audits or targeted market conduct examinations covering claims settlement practices and procedures for escheating unclaimed property.  One such firm has been contracted by treasury departments of 26 states to perform an examination of the Company’s practices for handling unclaimed property.  Any regulatory audits, related examination activity and internal reviews may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties and changes in the Company’s procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property.
   
 
In 2011, the Company initiated a project to compare its entire policy master file to vendors’ databases of known deaths and accrued a $25.0 million provision for potential claims at December 31, 2011.  In 2012, the Company incurred losses of $28.0 million, net of policy reserves released upon death, as a result of the project.  At December 31, 2012, based on its current analysis, the Company has accrued $28.0 million for estimated remaining claims that have not yet been positively identified.
   
 
The Company has two separate service agreements with third party administrators to provide policyholder administrative services.  These agreements, subject to certain termination provisions, have ten-year periods and expire in 2019 and 2020.

The Company leases office space, land and equipment under several operating leases that expire at various dates through 2051.  Certain leases include escalating lease rates, lease abatements and other incentives and, as a result, at December 31, 2012, Jackson recorded a liability of $12.1 million for future lease payments.  Lease expense was $28.1 million, $25.2 million, and $22.3 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  At December 31, 2012, future minimum payments under these noncancellable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

Share-Based Compensation
   
 
Certain officers participate in various share award plans relating to Prudential shares and/or American Depositary Receipts (“ADR’s”) that are tradable on the New York Stock Exchange and are described below.
   
 
The Group Performance Share Plan (“GPSP”) is a Prudential incentive plan in which all executive directors of Prudential and other senior executives can participate.  Awards are granted in the form of a nil cost option with a vesting period of three years.  The performance measure for the awards is that Prudential’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) outperforms an index comprised of peer companies over a three-year period.  Vesting of the awards between each performance period is on a straight line sliding scale basis ranging from 0% (less than the peer index TSR return) to 100% (more than 120% of the peer index TSR return).  Participants are entitled to the value of reinvested dividends that would have accrued on the shares that vest.
   
 
The Business Unit Performance Plan (“BUPP”) is a Prudential incentive plan created to provide a common framework under which awards would be made to Chief Executive Officers (“CEO”) of Prudential’s business units.  Awards under this nil cost plan for Jackson’s CEO are based on compound annual growth in Jackson Shareholder Capital Value on a European Embedded Value (“EEV”) basis with performance measured over three years. Awards granted in 2009 and later are settled in ADR’s after vesting.  Participants are entitled to receive the value of reinvested dividends over the performance period for those shares/ADR’s that vest.  The compound annual growth parameters for the awards are based on factors relevant to the U.S. business and vesting between each performance point is on a straight line sliding scale basis ranging from 0% (less than 8% growth) to 100% (more than 12% growth).
   
 
In 2011, the Company granted one-off type retention awards to certain key senior executives within Jackson.  These awards were subject to the prior approval of the Jackson Remuneration Committee and are nil cost options with a contingent right to receive Prudential ADR’s.  The awards are contingent upon continued employment of the recipient through the award vesting date.  There are no performance measurements with these awards.
   
 
In 2012, the Company classifies all the above plans as equity settled plans and, thereby, reflects the net reserve related to the compensation expense and the value of the shares distributed under this plan within the statement of equity.  Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $12.9 million and $8.0 million, respectively, reserved for future payments under these plans.
   
 
The Company also has a performance-related share award plan which, subject to the prior approval of the Jackson Remuneration Committee, may grant share awards to eligible employees in the form of a contingent right to receive Prudential ADR’s, or a conditional allocation of Prudential ADR’s.  These share awards are based on the compound annual EEV imputed growth in shareholder value of the U.S. business, have vesting periods of four years and are at nil cost to the employee.  Share awards vest between 0% (less than 8% growth) and 150% (more than 17.5% growth) of the grant amounts dependent on the compound annual growth rate attained over the performance period.  Award holders do not have any right to dividends or voting rights attached to the ADR’s granted during the performance period.

The Company classifies this plan as a liability settled plan and, thereby, reflects the accrued compensation expense and the value of the shares distributed under this plan within other liabilities.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $23.9 million and $15.6 million, respectively, accrued for future payments under this plan.
   
 
The Company either acquires shares/ADR’s or reimburses Prudential for the costs of any shares/ADR’s that were distributed to participants in the above plans, or are to be distributed in the future. The shares/ADR’s acquired for all the share-award plans are held at cost in a trust account for future distributions.  The Company reflects the costs of shares/ADR’s held within the statement of equity as shares held in trust.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $25.1 million and $16.8 million of shares/ADR’s held at cost in the trust, respectively.
   
 
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense associated with the equity settled plans based on the grant-date award fair value as determined using either the Black-Scholes model or the Monte Carlo model ratably over the requisite service period of each individual grant, which generally equals the vesting period. For the liability settled share award plans, compensation expense is recognized based on the change in fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period due to the plans cash settlement alternatives.
   
 
Total expense related to these share-based performance related compensation plans was as follows (in millions):

The weighted average fair value for the Company’s performance awards represents the average Prudential ADR price for the thirty days following Prudential’s unaudited annual earnings release date.  The fair value amounts relating to the equity settled plans were determined using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo option-pricing models. These models are used to calculate fair values for options and awards at the grant date based on the quoted market price of the stock at the measurement date, the dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected term. The following assumptions were used in 2012, 2011 and 2010 in determining the GPSP fair value:

   
2012
   
2011
   
2010
 
Dividend yield
    3.63 %     3.33 %     3.43 %
                         
Expected volatility
    32.80 %     28.80 %     43.00 %

3 years
 
                         
Weighted average share price
  $ 12.11     $ 12.84     $ 8.33  

 
The expected volatility is measured as the standard deviation of expected share price returns based on statistical analysis of daily share prices over a period up to the grant date equal to the expected life of the options. Risk-free interest rates are United Kingdom gilt rates with projections for three-year terms to match corresponding vesting periods.  Dividend yield is determined as the average yield over the year of the grant and expected dividends are not incorporated into the measurement of fair value.  For the GPSP, volatility and correlation between Prudential and an index constructed from a simple average of the Total Shareholder Return growth of ten companies is required. For the grants in 2012, an average index volatility and correlation of 32 percent and 76 percent, respectively, were used. Changes to the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.
   
 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no outstanding non-vested Prudential shares granted.

Statutory Accounting Capital and Surplus
   
 
The Company is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile.  Statutory accounting practices primarily differ from GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred and establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, as well as valuing investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred income taxes on a different basis.
   
 
Under Michigan Insurance Law, while Jackson must provide notification to the Michigan Commissioner prior to payment of any dividend, ordinary dividends on capital stock may only be distributed out of earned surplus, excluding any unrealized capital gains and the effect of permitted practices (referred to as adjusted earned surplus).  At December 31, 2012, the adjusted earned surplus of the Company was $1,100.7 million.  Ordinary dividends are also limited to the greater of 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding year-end, excluding any increase arising from the application of permitted practices, or the statutory net income, excluding any realized investment gains, for the twelve month period ended on the preceding December 31.  The Commissioner may approve payment of dividends in excess of these amounts, which would be deemed an extraordinary dividend.  The maximum amount that would qualify as an ordinary dividend, which would consequently be free from restriction and available for payment of dividends to Brooke Life in 2013, is estimated to be $826.9 million, subject to the availability of adjusted earned surplus as of the dividend date.
   
 
The Company received capital contributions from its parent of $36.0 million, $19.4 million, and $150.1 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  The capital contributions included $36.0 million, $19.4 million, and $20.1 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, from Brooke Life’s forgiveness of intercompany tax liabilities.  Dividend payments from the Company to its parent were $400.0 million, $530.0 million, and $275.0 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
   
 
Statutory capital and surplus of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $4.3 billion and $3.6 billion at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Statutory net income (loss) of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $847.2 million, $(453.2) million, and $769.6 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
   
 
The Commissioner has granted Jackson a permitted practice that allows Jackson to carry interest rate swaps at book value, as if the requirements for statutory hedge accounting were in place, instead of at fair value as would have been otherwise required.  Jackson is required to demonstrate the effectiveness of its interest rate swap program pursuant to the Michigan Insurance Code.  This permitted practice expires on October 1, 2013.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the effect of the permitted practice decreased statutory surplus by $580.5 million and $474.4 million, net of tax, respectively.  The permitted practice had no impact on statutory net income.
   
 
Under Michigan Insurance Law, VOBA is reported as an admitted asset if certain criteria are met. In relation to the acquisition of REALIC and pursuant to Michigan Insurance Law at December 31, 2012, the Company reported approximately $470.1 million of statutory basis VOBA, which is fully admissible.  Accordingly, the acquisition had no impact on the Company’s statutory basis capital and surplus at the acquisition date.
   
 
The NAIC has developed certain risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements for life insurance companies.  Under those requirements, compliance is determined by a ratio of a company’s total adjusted capital, calculated in a manner prescribed by the NAIC (“TAC”) to its authorized control level RBC, calculated in a manner prescribed by the NAIC (“ACL RBC”).  Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences is twice ACL RBC (“Company action level RBC”). At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s TAC was more than 400% of the Company action level RBC.
   
 
In addition, on the basis of statutory financial statements that insurers file with the state insurance regulators, the NAIC annually calculates twelve financial ratios to assist state regulators in monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies.  A usual range of results for each ratio is used as a benchmark and departure from the usual range on four or more of the ratios can lead to inquiries from individual state insurance departments.  In 2012 and 2011, there were no significant exceptions with any ratios.

Other Related Party Transactions
   
 
The Company’s investment portfolio is managed by PPM America, Inc. (“PPMA”), a registered investment advisor, and PPM Finance, Inc.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners as of February 28, 2013

Qualified – 19,616

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.
