The Funds are not the same mutual funds that you would buy directly from a retail mutual fund company or through your stockbroker. The summary prospectuses for the Funds are attached to this prospectus.

This prospectus describes the Investment Divisions that we currently offer under the Contract. Certain broker-dealers selling the Contracts may limit the Investment Divisions that are available to their customers. Please contact your representative for a list of Investment Divisions currently available through your broker-dealer. Investment Divisions that are not available through your broker-dealer may be available through other broker-dealers, but to access them you may need to terminate your relationship with your broker-dealer and provide us with satisfactory evidence of termination. Please consider these potential limitations before purchasing the Contract.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ annual and semi annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the



reports from Jackson. Instead, the reports will be made available on Jackson’s website (www.jackson.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from Jackson electronically by doing one of the following:

Mailing in the postage-paid card on the cover of this report;
Calling 1-866-349-4564; or
Signing up on www.jackson.com

Beginning on January 1, 2019, you may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. You can inform Jackson that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by contacting the appropriate Jackson Service Center. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Funds held in each variable contract you purchased from Jackson.

Please note that if you own more than one variable contract with Jackson, your delivery preferences must be set up for each variable contract separately.

*Effective August 29, 2011, the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account investing in the JNL/Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund; and JNL/Mellon Capital Global Alpha Fund (the JNL/AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund effective April 27, 2015) have stopped accepting allocations and/or transfers. Please see “Investment Divisions” on page 20 for more information.

** Effective August 13, 2018, the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account investing in the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Fund stopped accepting any additional allocations or transfers. Please see “Investment Divisions” on page 20 for more information.

***Effective June 24, 2019, the Investment Division of the Separate Account investing in the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Fund will stop accepting any additional allocations or transfers. If you currently have an automatic program, such as Dollar Cost Averaging, Dollar Cost Averaging Plus, Earnings Sweep, or Rebalancing, and it includes an allocation to the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Investment Division, you can continue to invest in this Investment Division based on your existing election until you revise or terminate the automatic program.

If you make a subsequent Premium payment and have future allocation instructions on file with us that include an allocation to the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Investment Division, you must choose a replacement Investment Division by June 21, 2019. All such allocations prior to our receipt of new allocation instructions will be allocated to the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division. Please consult your representative promptly to assist you in subsequently reallocating the Contract Value in the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division to any other available Investment Division.

Amounts invested in the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Investment Division as of June 24, 2019 will remain invested unless we receive instruction from you. You may continue to make transfers and withdrawals out of this Investment Division 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 the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Investment Division on or after June 24, 2019, you will not be able to transfer back in.

For additional information, please see the April 29, 2019 JNL ® Series Trust prospectus.

A base Contract designed to facilitate your retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes by permitting you to:

accumulate savings for your retirement on a tax-deferred basis during the accumulation phase on a fixed, variable, or fixed and variable basis;

receive income payments in the income phase on a fixed, variable, or fixed and variable basis; receive a basic death benefit, if you die before the income phase, that will never be less than the total premiums (minus withdrawals, charges and taxes) you have paid us (compounded at 2%); and

have significant access to your Contract Values without incurring a withdrawal charge in the event of certain serious health-related emergencies;

A variety of optional features that, for additional charges, give you the flexibility to add additional benefits to your base Contract, according to your personal preferences, including:




3 types of optional death benefits;

a “Contract Enhancement” (under which we credit your Contract Values with 2% of each premium payment you make in the first Contract Year); and

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefits (that, subject to specific conditions, generally permit you to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, equal the amount of net premium payments made (if elected after issue, the Contract Value, less any recapture charges, will be used instead of the net premium payment at issue)). Currently, you may elect this benefit after issue, however we reserve the right to limit availability to the Issue Date.

This prospectus describes the investment options and optional features that we currently offer under the Contract. At the time you purchase the Contract, it is possible that not all of the optional features listed in this prospectus will be available, as we reserve the right to prospectively restrict availability of the optional features. In addition, certain broker-dealers selling the Contracts may limit the investment options and/or optional features that are available to their customers. Ask your representative about which investment options and/or optional features are not offered. If a particular investment option or optional feature that interests you is not offered, you may want to contact another broker-dealer to explore its availability. In addition, not all optional features may be available in combination with other optional features, as we also reserve the right to prospectively restrict the availability to elect certain features if certain other optional features have been elected. We reserve the right to limit the number of Contracts that you may purchase. Some optional features, including certain living benefits and death benefits, contain withdrawal restrictions that, if exceeded, may have a significant negative impact on the value of the feature and may cause the feature to prematurely terminate. Please confirm with us or your representative that you have the most current prospectus and supplements to the prospectus that describe the availability and any restrictions on the optional features.

Expenses for a Contract with a Contract Enhancement will be higher than those for a Contract without a Contract Enhancement, and in some cases the amount of a Contract Enhancement may be more than offset by those expenses.

We offer other variable annuity products with different product features, benefits and charges.
Please read this prospectus before you purchase a Contract. It contains important information about the Contract that you should know before investing. 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. It is important that you read the Contract and endorsements, which reflect state or other variations.  You should keep this prospectus for future reference.

KEY FACTS


The Annuity Contract
Your Contract permits you to accumulate your Contract Values

on a fixed basis through allocations to one of our fixed account options (the “Fixed Account”), including two Guaranteed Fixed Account options (with guaranteed periods of 1 and 3 years) and two DCA+ Fixed Account options (used in connection with certain dollar cost averaging transfers), as may be made available by us, or as may be otherwise limited by us. There may be periods when we do not offer any Fixed Account, or impose special transfer requirements on the Fixed Account. In addition to the Fixed Account, 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; or

on a variable basis, by allocations to one or more of the Investment Divisions of our Separate Account (the “Investment Divisions”). (We refer to the Fixed Account, GMWB Fixed Account and the Investment Divisions together as “Allocation Options.”)

Regardless of which Allocation Option(s) you use, investment earnings on your premiums for non-qualified Contracts will be tax deferred. Tax deferral on qualified Contracts is derived from their status as qualified Contracts. SeeTAXES” for information on the tax treatment of investment earnings. Your Contract is intended to help you save for your retirement or other long-term investment purposes and provides for a death benefit during the accumulation phase (when you make premium payments to us) and a variety of income options during the income phase (when we make income payments to you). We generally will not issue a Contract to anyone over age 90.


Optional Features
Optional features of your Contract include:

an Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement (a form of optional death benefit that may add up to 40% of your Contract’s earnings to the death benefit otherwise payable at your death);

three additional types of Optional Death Benefit Endorsements (you may select only one of these three optional death benefits) that permit you to protect your Contract’s minimum death benefit values and/or to protect all or a portion of any investment gains under your Contract from subsequent investment losses;

a Contract Enhancement Endorsement (a credit to your Contract Value from our general account equal to 2% of your premium payments in the first Contract Year) that provides net Contract Value benefits under selected circumstances. See “Optional Contract Enhancement” at page 61 below;

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefits (GMWB)(that, subject to specific conditions, generally permit you to make partial withdrawals, prior to the Income Date that, in total, equal the amount of net premium payments made (if elected after issue (availability may be limited to the Issue Date), the Contract Value, less any recapture charges, will be used instead of the net premium payment at issue)); and

a Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB)(guarantees a minimum fixed income benefit under certain life contingent options after a period of at least 10 Contract Years, subject to specific conditions, regardless of the Allocation Option(s) you select during the accumulation phase).

These optional features may not be available in your state or there may be state variations in the terms of your benefits as reflected in the Contract issued in your state.


1




Allocation Options
You may not allocate your Contract Value to more than 99 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.

Each Investment Division invests in a single Fund (investment portfolio) of an underlying mutual fund.


Purchases
Under most circumstances, you must make an initial premium payment of at least $10,000 ($2,000 for a qualified plan Contract). You are permitted to make subsequent premium payments at any time during the accumulation phase. Each subsequent payment must be at least $500 ($50 under an automatic payment plan). The Investment Divisions and Guaranteed Fixed Account have initial and subsequent allocation minimums of $100. We reserve the right to refuse initial and any or all subsequent premium payments. We reserve the right to restrict availability or impose restrictions on the Guaranteed Fixed Account. We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract (i.e., the withdrawal charge and the mortality and expense risk charge) associated with the Contract Enhancement.


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. Optional endorsement provisions may vary depending on when you purchased your Contract or elected your endorsement. Please refer to your Contract endorsements for the provisions that apply to you.


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. We may deduct any withholding taxes imposed from the amount payable or your remaining values under the Contract. You may also have to pay taxes and a tax penalty on money you withdraw.


Income Payments
You may choose to receive regular income payments from us (most typically, when you retire). During this “income phase,” you have the same variable allocation options as during the accumulation phase.


Death Benefit
If you die before moving to the income phase, the person you have chosen as your Beneficiary will receive a death benefit of at least the greater of your Contract Value on the date we receive proof of death and completed claim forms from your Beneficiary or the total premiums you have paid since your Contract was issued, minus prior withdrawals (including any applicable charges and adjustments), annual Contract maintenance charges, transfer charges, any applicable charges due under any optional endorsement and premium taxes (“Net Premiums”) compounded at 2%. All adjustments to the Net Premiums will occur at the time of the transaction and all amounts withdrawn will reduce the Net Premiums in the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of that withdrawal. If you select the Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, the death benefit may be enhanced if there is positive investment performance, and if you select one of the three optional death benefit endorsements, the death benefit may be protected from poor investment performance.


Free Look
If you cancel your Contract within ten days after receiving it (or any longer period required in your state), we will return to you the amount your Contract is worth on the day we receive your request or the Contract is returned to your selling agent, minus any Contract Enhancement recapture charge. This may be more or less than your original payment. If required by your state, we instead will return your premium. During the free look period your assets will be allocated according to your allocation options. In some states, we are required to hold the premiums of a senior citizen in the Fixed Account during the free look period, unless we are specifically directed to allocate the premiums to the

2


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 your Contract Value until you make a withdrawal (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. Earnings are taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn and, if withdrawn prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to a tax penalty.


Expenses
Your Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each. 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.” Each Fund has its own expenses. The Contract’s charges and Fund expenses are described in the following Fee Tables.

This charge is only deducted for the first three Contract Years.

11 
On a calendar quarter basis, the charge is 0.10% of the GMIB Benefit Base. The GMIB Benefit Base is the greater of (a) or (b), where:
(a) Generally equals all premiums you have paid, subject to certain adjustments, compounded at an annual interest rate of 5% until the earlier of the Annuitant’s 80th birthday or the exercise date of this GMIB; and
(b) Generally equals the greatest Contract Value on any Contract Anniversary prior to the Annuitant’s 81st birthday, subject to certain adjustments after that Contract Anniversary.

This charge is assessed each calendar quarter and upon termination of the GMIB and is deducted from the Investment Divisions and the Guaranteed Fixed Account on a pro rata basis. When it is deducted from the Investment Divisions, it is not a part of unit value calculations but rather is normally deducted by means of a cancellation of units. The GMIB Benefit Base is defined beginning on page 179 below.

12 
0.75% is the maximum annual charge of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB) when this endorsement is added to a Contract on and after January 17, 2006, which charge is payable quarterly (monthly for Contracts purchased in Washington State). The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals. If you select a GMWB when you purchase your Contract, the GWB is generally your initial premium payment, net of taxes and adjusted for any subsequent premium payments and withdrawals. If the GMWB is elected after the issue date, the GWB is generally your Contract Value less any recapture charges that would be paid were you to make a full withdrawal on the date the endorsement is added, adjusted for any subsequent premium payments and withdrawals.

The charge is expressed as an annual percentage and depends on:
When the endorsement is added to the Contract.
The endorsement’s availability – on and after, or before January 17, 2006, or before February 23, 2005.

6


The basis for deduction – a percentage of the GWB or your allocations to Investment Divisions (average daily net asset value).
The frequency of deduction – quarterly, monthly, or daily.

The below tables have the maximum and current charges.

For Contracts to which this endorsement is added on and after January 17, 2006 (subject to availability), you pay the applicable percentage of the GWB each calendar quarter. But for Contracts purchased in Washington State, the charge is monthly. We deduct the charge from your Contract Value. Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account. Monthly charges are pro rata deducted based on 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.

For Contracts to which this endorsement is added before January 17, 2006, the charge is a percentage, on an annual basis, of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.

For Contracts to which this endorsement is added before February 23, 2005, the charge is a percentage, on an annual basis, of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions, which increases upon the first step-up.

B 
Expense Information has been restated to reflect current fees.

C 
Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM” or “Adviser”) 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 the Annual Operating Expense columns in this table reflect the inclusion of the contractual fee waivers.

D 
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.


E 
Represents the amount payable to JNAM in accordance with the recapture provision of the expense waiver and reimbursement agreement. 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, and continue thereafter, 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. In addition, when the Fund receives income sufficient to pay a dividend, the Adviser may recapture previously waived fees and expenses for a period of three years.

F 
"Other Expenses" includes an Administrative Fee of 0.05% which is payable to JNAM.

G

EXAMPLE

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, the Fixed Account 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% annual return on assets each year.

The following example includes the maximum Fund fees and expenses and the cost if you select the optional Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, the most expensive Optional Death Benefit Endorsement, the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (using the maximum possible charge), and the 2% Contract Enhancement Endorsement. 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
$1,714
$2,770
$3,304
$6,165


17


If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:
1 year *
3 years
5 years
10 years
$1,714
$2,170
$3,304
$6,165

* 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
$714
$2,095
$3,304
$6,165

The example does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The information about the values of all Accumulation Units constitutes the condensed financial information. Information about the values of Accumulation Units for a base Contract (with no optional endorsements) and for a Contract with the most expensive combination of charges and optional endorsements can be found in Appendix F. Information about the values of all remaining Accumulation Units can be found in the Statement of Additional Information. The value of an Accumulation Unit is determined on the basis of the per share value of an underlying Fund less applicable Separate Account charges, including any optional endorsement charges that are based on average daily Contract Value in the Investment Divisions and are deducted daily as part of the calculation of Accumulation Units. Information about the Separate Account charges and charges for optional endorsements can be found in the “Periodic Expenses” tables above.

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 ANNUITY CONTRACT

Your Contract is a Contract between you, the Owner, and us. Your Contract is intended to help facilitate your retirement savings on a tax-deferred basis, or other long-term investment purposes, and provides for a death benefit. Purchases under tax-qualified plans should be made for other than tax deferral reasons. Tax-qualified plans provide tax deferral that does not rely on the purchase of an annuity contract. We will not issue a Contract to someone older than age 90.
Your Contract Value may be allocated to:

our Guaranteed Fixed Account, as may be made available by us, or as may be otherwise limited by us, or

our GMWB Fixed Account (only if the optional LifeGuard Select GMWB or LifeGuard Select with Joint Option GMWB were elected), as may be made available by us, or as may be otherwise limited by us, or to

Investment Divisions of the Separate Account that invest in underlying Funds.

Your Contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases:

the accumulation phase, when you make premium payments to us, and

the income phase, when we make income payments to you.

As the Owner, you can exercise all the rights under your Contract. You can assign your Contract at any time during your lifetime, but we will not be bound until we receive 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).

JACKSON

We are a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Michigan in June 1961. Our legal domicile and principal business address is 1 Corporate Way, Lansing, Michigan 48951. We are admitted to conduct life insurance and annuity business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. We are ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc (London, England). Prudential plc is also the ultimate parent of PPM America, Inc. a sub-adviser for certain of the Funds. Jackson is the parent of Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”), the Funds’ investment adviser and administrator. JNAM provides certain administrative services with respect to the Separate Account, including separate account administration services and financial and accounting services. JNAM is located at 225 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606.

We issue and administer the Contracts and the Separate Account. We maintain records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number and other pertinent information for each Owner, the number and type of Contracts issued to each Owner, and records with respect to the value of each Contract.

We are working to provide documentation electronically. When this program is available, we will, as permitted, forward documentation electronically. Please contact us at our Annuity Service Center for more information.

THE GUARANTEED FIXED ACCOUNT AND GMWB FIXED ACCOUNT

Contract value allocated to a Guaranteed Fixed Account option and/or the GMWB Fixed Account will be placed with other assets in our 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 Account options 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 Account options 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. Both the availability of, and transfers into and out of, the Guaranteed Fixed Account options and the GMWB Fixed Account may be subject to contractual and administrative requirements. For more information, please see the application, check with the registered representative helping you to purchase the Contract, or contact us at our Annuity Service Center.

THE GUARANTEED FIXED ACCOUNT

Each available Guaranteed Fixed Account offers a minimum interest rate that we guarantee for a specified period (for example, one and three years). We guarantee principal and interest of any Contract Values while they are allocated to a Guaranteed Fixed Account if amounts allocated to the account are not withdrawn until the end of the chosen duration. The value of a Guaranteed Fixed Account may be reduced by an “Excess Interest Adjustment” and a withdrawal charge if you make a withdrawal prior to the end of the Guaranteed Fixed Account period, but will never be less than the premium payments, minus any applicable premium tax and transfers allocated to the Guaranteed Fixed Account, minus transfers, withdrawals, and charges from the Guaranteed Fixed Account, accumulated at 3%, minus any withdrawal charges or any tax due. Your Contract contains a more complete description of the Guaranteed Fixed Account, as supplemented by our administrative requirements relating to transfers.

The DCA+ Fixed Account options, if available, each offer a fixed interest rate that we guarantee for a period of up to one year in connection with dollar-cost-averaging transfers to one or more of the Investment Divisions or systematic transfers to other Fixed Account options. From time to time, we will offer special enhanced rates on the DCA+ Fixed Account. DCA+ Fixed Account is only available for new premiums.

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. 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.


19


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 Account options 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 Excess Interest 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 25 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 150. 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 163.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

We established the Separate Account 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.

We have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “Commodity Pool Operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) with respect to the Separate Account. Therefore, we are not subject to registration or regulation as a Commodity Pool Operator under the CEA with respect to the Separate Account.

The assets of the Separate Account legally belong to us and the obligations under the Contracts are our obligations. However, we are not allowed to use the Contract assets in the Separate Account to pay our liabilities arising out of any other business we 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 we may issue.

The Separate Account is divided into Investment Divisions. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account or any of its Investment Divisions.

INVESTMENT DIVISIONS

Your Contract Value may be allocated to no more than 99 Allocation Options at any one time. Each Investment Division purchases the shares of one underlying Fund (mutual fund portfolio) that has its own investment objective. The Investment Divisions are designed to offer the potential for a higher return than the Guaranteed Fixed Accounts and the GMWB Fixed Account. However, this is not guaranteed. It is possible for you to lose your Contract Value allocated to any of the Investment Divisions. If you allocate Contract Values to the Investment Divisions, the amounts you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the accumulation phase depend 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.

This prospectus describes the Investment Divisions that we currently offer under the Contract. Certain broker-dealers selling the Contracts may limit the Investment Divisions that are available to their customers. Please contact your representative for a list of Investment Divisions currently available through your broker-dealer. Investment Divisions that are not available through your broker-dealer may be available through other broker-dealers, but to access them you may need to terminate your relationship with your broker-dealer and provide us with satisfactory evidence of termination. Please consider these potential limitations before purchasing the Contract.

The following Funds in which the Investment Divisions invest are each known as a Fund of Funds. Funds offered in a Fund of Funds structure may have higher expenses than direct investments in the underlying Funds. You should read the summary prospectuses for the Funds and/or the prospectus for the JNL Series Trust for more information.

Important information regarding the following closed Investment Divisions:
As of August 29, 2011 (“the Effective Date”), the Investment Divisions investing in the JNL/Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund; and JNL/Mellon Capital Global Alpha Fund (the JNL/AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund effective April 27, 2015) stopped accepting any additional allocations or transfers. As of August 13, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the Investment Division investing in the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Fund stopped accepting any additional allocations or transfers. These Investment Divisions are collectively referred to as the “Divisions”. If as of the applicable Effective Date you had an automatic program, such as Dollar Cost Averaging, Dollar Cost Averaging Plus, Earnings Sweep and Rebalancing, and it includes an allocation to any of the Divisions, you can continue to include the Divisions under the program based on your then existing election until you revise or terminate the automatic program. Any change to the then existing automatic program is not permitted if you wish to continue to include an allocation to the Division under the program. The Divisions are not available for any new or revised allocation instructions under any automatic program. If you have allocation instructions for future Premium payments on file with us that include an allocation to any of the Divisions, you must choose a replacement Investment Division. If you have not chosen a replacement Investment Division and make a subsequent Premium payment, all such allocations to any of the Divisions prior to our receipt of new allocation instructions from you will be allocated to the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division. Your representative can assist you in subsequently reallocating the Contract Value in the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division to any other available investment option. 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 allocation instructions for future Premium payments, described above. Therefore, when you change your allocation instructions for future Premium payments, you will also be changing your instructions under the Transfer of Assets provision. Prior to our receipt of new allocation instructions, the automatic transfers will continue to be based on your existing instructions. Amounts invested in any of the Divisions as of the applicable Effective Date 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 the Fund’s investment sub-advisers also manage. Although the objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the Funds may be higher or lower than the result of those other 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 us. 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 summary prospectuses for the Funds and/or the prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust, the JNL Variable Fund LLC, and the Jackson Variable Series Trust carefully before investing. The summary prospectuses for the Funds are attached to this prospectus.

Voting Privileges. To the extent required by law, we will obtain instructions from you and other Owners about how to vote our shares of a Fund when there is a vote of shareholders of a Fund. We will vote all the shares we own in proportion to those instructions from Owners. An effect of this proportional voting is that a relatively small number of Owners may determine the outcome of a vote.

Substitution. We reserve the right to substitute a different Fund or a different mutual fund for the one in which any Investment Division is currently invested, or transfer money to the General Account. We will not do this without any required approval of the SEC. We will give you notice of any substitution.

CONTRACT CHARGES

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:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges. 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 1.50% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions for the first six years. Starting in the seventh Contract Year or upon annuitization, if earlier than the beginning of the seventh Contract Year, this charge will equal 1.30% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions. This charge does not apply to the Fixed Account or the GMWB Fixed Account.

This charge compensates us for the risks we assume in connection with all the Contracts, not just your Contract. Our mortality risks under the Contracts arise from our obligations:

to make income payments for the life of the Annuitant during the income phase;

to waive the withdrawal charge in the event of the Owner’s death; and

to provide both basic and optional death benefits prior to the Income Date.

Our expense risks under the Contracts include the risk that our actual cost of administering the Contracts and the Investment Divisions may exceed the amount that we receive from the administration charge and the annual contract maintenance charge. Included among these expense risks are those that we assume in connection with increasing distribution expenses, waivers of withdrawal charges under the Terminal Illness Benefit, the Specified Conditions Benefit and the Extended Care Benefit.

Annual Contract Maintenance Charge. During the accumulation phase, we deduct a $35 ($30 in Washington) annual contract maintenance charge on each anniversary of the Issue Date (the date your Contract was issued). We will also deduct the annual contract maintenance charge if you make a total withdrawal. This charge is for administrative expenses. The annual contract maintenance charge will be assessed on the Contract Anniversary or upon full withdrawal and is taken from the Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account based on the proportion their respective value bears to the Contract Value. We will not deduct this charge if, when the deduction is to be made, the value of your Contract is $50,000 or more.

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 Fixed Account or the GMWB Fixed Account. This charge compensates us for our expenses incurred in administering the Contracts and the Separate Account. If the initial premium equals $1,000,000 or more, we will waive the administration charge. However, we reserve the right to reverse this waiver and reinstate the administration charge if withdrawals are made in the first Contract Year that result in the Contract Value falling substantially below $1,000,000, as determined by us.

Transfer Charge. You must pay $25 for each transfer in excess of 25 in a Contract Year. This charge is deducted from the amount that is transferred prior to the allocation to the new Allocation Option. We waive the transfer charge in connection with Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep, Rebalancing transfers and any transfers we require, and we may charge a lesser fee where required by state law.

Withdrawal Charge. At any time during the accumulation phase (if and to the extent that Contract Value is sufficient to pay any remaining withdrawal charges that remain after a withdrawal), you may withdraw the following with no withdrawal charge:

premiums that are no longer subject to a withdrawal charge (premiums in your annuity for at least three years without being withdrawn), plus

44



earnings (excess of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions, the Guaranteed Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account over your remaining premiums allocated to those accounts)

during each Contract Year 10% of premium that would otherwise incur a withdrawal charge, be subject to a Contract Enhancement recapture charge, or be reduced by an Excess Interest Adjustment, and that has not been previously withdrawn (this can be withdrawn at once or in segments throughout the Contract Year), minus earnings (required minimum distributions will be counted as part of the free withdrawal amount).

We will deduct a withdrawal charge on:

withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amounts, or

withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract that exceed its required minimum distribution, or

withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amounts to meet the required minimum distribution of a tax-qualified Contract purchased with contributions from a nontaxable transfer, after the Owner’s death, of an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), or to meet the required minimum distribution of a Roth IRA annuity, or

amounts withdrawn in a total withdrawal, or

amounts applied to income payments on an Income Date that is within one year of the Issue Date.

The amount of the withdrawal charge deducted varies (depending on how many years prior to the withdrawal you made the premium payment(s) you are withdrawing) according to the following schedule:

Withdrawal Charge (as a percentage of premium payments):
Completed Years since Receipt of Premium
0
1
2
3+
Withdrawal Charge
8%
7%
6%
0%

For purposes of the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest remaining premium. If you make a full withdrawal, or elect to commence income payments within one year of the date your Contract was issued, the withdrawal charge is based on premiums remaining in the Contract and no free withdrawal amount applies. If you withdraw only part of the value of your Contract, we deduct the withdrawal charge from the remaining value in your Contract. The withdrawal charge compensates us for costs associated with selling the Contracts.

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 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.

We do not assess the withdrawal charge on any amounts paid out as:

income payments during your Contract’s income phase (but the withdrawal charge is deducted at the Income Date if income payments are commenced in the first Contract Year);

death benefits;

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);

if permitted by your state, additional withdrawals of up to $250,000 from the Separate Account, the Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account if you incur a terminal illness or if you need extended hospital or nursing home care as provided in your Contract; or

45



if permitted by your state, additional withdrawals of up to 25% (12 1/2% for each of two joint Owners) of your Contract Value from the Separate Account, the Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account if you incur certain serious medical conditions specified in your Contract.

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

Earnings Protection Benefit (“EarningsMax”) Charge. If you select the Earnings Protection Benefit Endorsement, you will pay us a charge that equals 0.30% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions. We stop deducting this charge on the date you annuitize.

Contract Enhancement Charge. If you select the Contract Enhancement, then for a period of three Contract Years, a charge that equals 0.65% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions will be imposed. This charge will also be assessed against any amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account, resulting in a credited interest rate of 0.65% less than the annual credited interest rate that would apply to the Guaranteed Fixed Account or the GMWB Fixed Account if the Contract Enhancement had not been elected (and assuming no withdrawals).

Contract Enhancement Recapture Charge. If you select the Contract Enhancement and then make a partial or total withdrawal from your Contract in the first three years since the premium payment withdrawn was made, you will pay a Contract Enhancement recapture charge that reimburses us for all or part of the Contract Enhancements that we credited to your Contract based on your first year payments. Any applicable Contract Enhancement recapture charges are deducted at the Income Date as well as on partial withdrawals in excess of free withdrawal amounts, upon total withdrawals and if your contract is returned during the free look period. The amounts of these charges are as follows:

Contract Enhancement Recapture Charge (as a percentage of the corresponding first year premium payment withdrawn if an optional Contract Enhancement is selected)
Completed Years Since Receipt of Premium
0
1
2
3+
Recapture Charge
2%
1.5%
0.75%
0%

We do not assess the recapture charge on any amounts paid out as:

death benefits;

withdrawals taken under the additional free withdrawal provision;

withdrawals necessary to satisfy the required minimum distribution of the Internal Revenue Code;

if permitted by your state, withdrawals of up to $250,000 from the Separate Account, the Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account if you incur a terminal illness or if you need extended hospital or nursing home care as provided in your Contract; or

if permitted by your state, withdrawals of up to 25% (12 1/2% for each of two joint Owners) of your Contract Value from the Separate Account, the Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account if you incur certain serious medical conditions specified in your Contract.

Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“FutureGuard”) Charge. If you select the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit, on a calendar quarter basis, you will pay 0.10% of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) Benefit Base (0.40% annually). This charge is deducted from the Contract Value (1) at the end of each calendar quarter and (2) upon termination of the GMIB on a pro rata basis using the GMIB Benefit Base as of the date of termination and the number of days since the last deduction. The first GMIB charge will be deducted on a pro rata basis from the Issue Date to the end of the first calendar quarter after the Issue Date. The actual deduction of the charge will be reflected in your quarterly statement. The GMIB Benefit Base is explained beginning on page 179 below. You should be aware that the GMIB charge will be deducted even if you never use the benefit and it only applies to certain optional income payments.

You pay the applicable annual percentage of the GWB each calendar quarter. For Contracts purchased in Washington State, the charge is monthly, which charge is waived at the end of a Contract Month to the extent it exceeds the amount of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions. We deduct the charge from your Contract Value. Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the Guaranteed 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 the 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, 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 you elect a step-up (not on step-ups that are automatic), again subject to the applicable maximum annual charge.

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 Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 107. 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 Annual Step-Up” beginning on page 101.

Death Benefit Charges. There is no additional charge for the Contract’s basic death benefit. However, for an additional charge, you may select one of the Contract’s available optional death benefits in place of the basic death benefit. Please ask your agent whether there are variations on these benefits in your state or contact our Annuity Service Center. Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

If you select the 5% Compounded Death Benefit, you will pay 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.

If you select the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, you will pay 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.

If you select the Combination Death Benefit, you will pay 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.

We stop deducting these charges on the date you annuitize.

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).

Other Expenses. We pay 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 summary prospectuses for the Funds. For more information, please see the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” table beginning on page 12.

Premium Taxes. Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes or other similar taxes. We pay these taxes and may make a deduction from your Contract Values 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. We reserve the right, when calculating unit values, to deduct a credit or charge with respect to any taxes we have paid or reserved for during the valuation period that we determine 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 presently making any such deduction.

DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS

Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (“Distributor”), located at 300 Innovation Drive, Franklin, Tennessee 37067, serves as the distributor of the Contracts. Distributor also serves as distributor of other variable insurance products issued by Jackson and its subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York (“Jackson of NY”).

Distributor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson. Distributor 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”). Distributor 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 the Internet (http://brokercheck.finra.org).

The Contracts are offered to customers of various financial institutions, brokerage firms and their affiliate insurance agencies (each a “Financial Institution,” collectively “Financial Institutions”). No Financial Institution has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that are owed under the Contracts. The obligations and guarantees under the Contracts are the sole responsibility of Jackson. The Financial Institutions are responsible for delivery of various related disclosure documents and the accuracy of their oral description and suitable recommendation of the purchase of the Contracts.

Commissions are paid to Financial Institutions that 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, trail commissions may also be paid. Commissions may also be paid on the Income Date if the annuity option selected involves a life contingency or a payout over a period of ten or more years. The Financial Institutions determine the amount of the commission that will be paid to their registered representatives. The amounts paid may vary based upon the practices of each Financial Institution.

Under certain circumstances, the Distributor and/or Jackson may make payments to Financial Institutions in addition to commissions, in connection with the sale of Jackson and Jackson of NY variable insurance products. These payments and/or reimbursements are in recognition of marketing, distribution, and/or administrative support provided by the Financial Institution and may not be offered to all Financial Institutions. The terms of these arrangements vary widely depending on, among other things, products offered; the level and type of marketing, distribution, and administrative support services provided; assets under management; the volume and size of sales; and the level of access we are provided to the registered representatives of the Financial Institution. Such payments may influence Financial Institutions and/or their registered representatives to present the Contracts more favorably than other investment alternatives. Such compensation is subject to applicable state insurance law and regulation and the FINRA rules of conduct and Department of Labor (“DOL”) rules and regulations. While such compensation may be significant, it will not result in any additional direct charge by us to you.

Under these compensation structures, the Distributor and/or Jackson may make marketing allowance payments and marketing support payments to the Financial Institutions. Marketing allowance payments are payments that are designed as consideration for product placement and distribution, assets under management, and sales volume. Marketing allowance payments are generally based on a fixed percentage of annual product sales and generally range from 10 to 50 basis points (0.10% to 0.50%). Payments may also be based on a percentage of assets under management or paid as a specified dollar amount. Marketing support payments may be in the form of cash and/or non-cash compensation to or on behalf of Financial Institutions and their registered representatives, and are intended to provide us with exposure to registered representatives so that we may build relationships or educate them about product features and benefits. Examples of such payments include, but are not limited to, reimbursements for representative training or “due diligence” meetings (including travel and lodging expenses); client and prospecting events; speaker fees; business development and educational enhancement items (such as software packages containing information for broker use, or prospecting lists); sponsorship

58


payments for participation at conferences and meetings; and other support services, including payments to third party vendors for such services. 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 applicable laws and regulations including FINRA rules of conduct and DOL rules and regulations, we may also provide cash and/or non-cash compensation to registered representatives in the form of gifts, promotional items, occasional meals, and entertainment. Registered representatives may qualify for different levels of sales and service support depending on the volume of business that they do with us.

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.

The alphabetical listing below details the 20 Financial Institutions that received the largest amounts of marketing allowance payments and/or marketing support payments in 2018 from the Distributor and/or Jackson in relation to the sale of Jackson and Jackson of NY variable insurance products. The total payments received by a Financial Institution is based on sales of all Jackson and Jackson of NY variable insurance products, thus a Financial Institution may appear on the list even if it is not receiving any payments with respect to sales of the Contracts. Payments to these firms ranged from approximately $475 thousand to approximately $20.5 million.

Please see Appendix C for a complete list of Financial Institutions that received amounts of marketing allowance payments and/or marketing support payments in 2018 from the Distributor and/or Jackson in relation to the sale of our variable insurance products. While we endeavor to update this list on an annual basis, please note that interim changes or new arrangements may not be listed and may involve substantial payments on a forward going basis.

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.

Compensation is also paid to employees of the Distributor and/or Jackson who are responsible for providing services to Financial Institutions. These employees are generally referred to as “wholesalers” and may meet with Financial Institutions and/or their registered representatives to provide training and sales support. The compensation paid to the wholesalers may vary based on a number of factors, including Premium payments; types of Contracts or optional benefits (if any) sold by the Financial Institutions that the wholesaler services; wholesaler performance; and overall company performance. The wholesalers may be required to achieve internally-assigned goals related to the same type of factors and may receive bonus payments for the achievement of individual and/or company-wide goals.


59


The Distributor also has relationships with the sub-advisers to the various underlying Funds and their affiliates. The Distributor receives payments from some sub-advisers to assist in defraying the costs of certain promotional and marketing meetings hosted by the Distributor in which the sub-advisers 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 Financial Institutions may have other relationships with the sub-advisers (apart from Jackson) including selling retail mutual funds managed or advised by certain sub-advisers.

All of the compensation described here, and other compensation or benefits provided by the Distributor and/or 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 create a conflict of interest as it may influence your Financial Institution and registered representative 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 Financial Institution and registered representative. You may ask your registered representative about any variations and how he or she and his or her Financial Institution are compensated for selling the Contract.

PURCHASES

Minimum Initial Premium:

$10,000 under most circumstances

$2,000 for a qualified plan Contract

Minimum Additional Premiums:

$500 for a qualified or non-qualified plan

$50 for an automatic payment plan

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

These minimums apply to purchases, but do not preclude subsequent partial withdrawals that would reduce Contract Values below the minimum initial purchase amounts, as long as the amount left in the account is sufficient to pay the withdrawal charge. 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. We reserve the right to restrict availability or impose restrictions on the Guaranteed Fixed Account and GMWB Fixed Account.

Maximum Premiums:

The maximum aggregate premiums you may make without our prior approval is $1 million.

The payment of subsequent premiums, depending on market conditions at the time they are made, may or may not contribute to the various benefits under your Contract, including the enhanced death benefits, the GMIB or any GMWB. Our right to restrict premiums to a lesser maximum amount may also affect the benefits under your Contract.

Please note that on and after May 16, 2009, we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments for contracts to which a GMIB endorsement is attached. This subsequent premium limitation does not apply to contracts issued in Maryland.

Allocations of Premium. You may allocate your premiums to one or more of the Allocation Options. Each allocation must be a whole percentage between 0% and 100%. The minimum amount you may allocate to the Fixed Account or an Investment Division is $100. We will allocate any additional premiums you pay in the same way unless you instruct us otherwise. These allocations will be subject to our minimum allocation rules.

You may not allocate your Contract Value among more than 99 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. 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 150. For more detailed information regarding LifeGuard Select with Joint Option, please see “Joint For Life

60


Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up Endorsement” beginning on page 163.

We will issue your Contract and allocate your first premium within two business days (days when the New York Stock Exchange is open) 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 we are unable to complete this process within five business days, we will return your money.

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

Optional Contract Enhancement. If you elect the optional Contract Enhancement Endorsement, then at the end of any business day in the first Contract Year when we receive a premium payment, we will credit your Contract Values with an additional 2% of your payment. There is a charge, described above, that is assessed against the Investment Divisions, the Guaranteed Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account for the Contract Enhancement. We will also impose a Contract Enhancement recapture charge during the first three Contract Years if you:

make withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawals permitted by your Contract,

elect to receive payment under an income option, or

return your Contract during the Free Look period.

We will not impose the Contract Enhancement recapture charge if your withdrawal is made for certain health-related emergencies, withdrawals of earnings, withdrawals in accordance with your Contract’s free withdrawal provision, amounts paid out as death benefits or to satisfy required minimum distributions of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of the recapture charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest remaining premium, based on the completed years (12 months) since the receipt of premiums. (See Example 2 in Appendix B for an illustration.) Partial Withdrawals will remove money from the Contract from the Premiums to which no or the lowest total withdrawal and Recapture Charge apply, based on the completed years (12 months) since the receipt of the premium. If the withdrawal requested exceeds the required minimum distribution, the recapture charge will be charged on the entire withdrawal amount. We expect to make a profit on the charge for the Contract Enhancement. Examples in Appendix B may assist you in understanding how recapture charges for the Contract Enhancements work.

Your Contract Value will reflect any gains or losses attributable to the Contract Enhancement. Contract Enhancements, and any increase in value attributable to a Contract Enhancement, distributed under your Contract will be considered earnings under the Contract for tax purposes.

Asset-based charges are deducted from the total value of the Separate Account. In addition, for the Guaranteed Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account, the Contract Enhancement charge lowers the credited rate that would apply if the Contract Enhancement had not been elected. Therefore, your Contract incurs charges on the entire amounts included in your Contract, which includes premium payments made in the first three Contract Years, the Contract Enhancement and the earnings, if any, on such amounts for the first three Contract Years. As a result, the aggregate charges assessed will be higher than those that would be charged if you did not elect a Contract Enhancement. Accordingly, it is possible that upon surrender, you will receive less money back than you would have if you had not elected a Contract Enhancement. We will impose a Contract Enhancement recapture charge if you make withdrawals in the first three years after a first year premium payment. We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract, including the withdrawal charge, the mortality and expense risk charge and the Contract Enhancement charge.

If you elect the Contract Enhancement and then make more than relatively small premium payments during Contract Years two and three, you would likely have a lower Contract Value than if you had not elected the Contract Enhancement. Thus, the Contract Enhancement is suitable only for those who expect to make substantially all of their premium payments in the first Contract Year. Charges for the Contract Enhancement are not assessed after the third Contract Year.

Accordingly, the increased Contract Value resulting from the Contract Enhancement is reduced during the first three Contract Years by the operation of the Contract Enhancement charge. If you make premium payments only in the first Contract Year and do not make a withdrawal during the first three years, at the end of the three-year period that the Contract Enhancement charge is applicable, the Contract Value will be equal to or slightly higher than if you had not selected a Contract Enhancement, regardless of investment performance. Contract values may also be higher if you pay additional premium payments in the first Contract Year, because those additional amounts will be subject to the Contract Enhancement charge for less than three full years.


61


In the first three Contract Years, the Contract Enhancement typically will be beneficial (even in circumstances where cash surrender value may not be higher than contracts without the Contract Enhancement) in the following circumstances:

death benefits computed on the basis of Contract Value;

withdrawals taken under the additional free withdrawal provision;

withdrawals necessary to satisfy the required minimum distribution of the Internal Revenue Code;

if permitted by your state, withdrawals under our:

Terminal Illness Benefit;
Specified Conditions Benefit; or
Extended Care Benefit. (See page 66.)

Capital Protection Program. If you select our Capital Protection program at issue, we will allocate enough of your premium to the Guaranteed Fixed Account you select to assure that the amount so allocated will equal, at the end of a selected period of 1 or 3 years, your total original premium paid. You may allocate the rest of your premium to any Investment Division(s). If any part of the Guaranteed Fixed Account value is surrendered or transferred before the end of the selected guaranteed period, the value at the end of that period will not equal the original premium. This program is available only if Guaranteed Fixed Account options are available. You should consult your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of Guaranteed Fixed Account options, their limitations, and the availability of the Capital Protection Program.

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.

Thus, as this example demonstrates, the shorter guarantee periods require allocation of substantially all premiums 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. Your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions will go up or down depending on the performance of the Investment Divisions you select. In order to keep track of the value of your Contract during the accumulation phase, we use a unit of measure called an “Accumulation Unit.” During the income phase we use a measure called an “Annuity Unit.”

Every business day, we determine the value of an Accumulation Unit for each of the Investment Divisions by:

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

subtracting any asset-based charges and taxes chargeable under the Contract; and

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, we credit your Contract with Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units we credit is determined at the close of that 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.


62


TRANSFERS AND FREQUENT TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

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 the Fixed Account and an Investment Division must occur prior to the Income Date. Transfers from the Fixed Account will be subject to any applicable Excess Interest Adjustment. There may be periods when we do not offer the Fixed Account, or when we impose special transfer requirements on the Fixed Account. 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 Account option. You can make 25 transfers every Contract Year 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. Frequent transfers may also dilute the value of shares of an underlying Fund. Neither the Contracts nor the underlying Funds are meant to promote any active trading strategy, like market timing. Allowing frequent transfers by one or some Owners could be at the expense of other Owners of the Contract. 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 25 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 Account, 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. These limited exceptions will be granted by an oversight team pursuant to procedures designed to result in their consistent application. Please contact our Annuity Service Center if you believe your transfer request entails a financial emergency.


63


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.

TELEPHONE AND INTERNET TRANSACTIONS

The Basics. You can request certain transactions by telephone or at www.jackson.com, our Internet website, subject to our 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 you provide to us in an application, at our website, or through other means will authorize us to accept transaction instructions, including Investment Division transfers/allocations, by you and your financial representative unless you notify us to the contrary. To notify us, please call us at the Annuity 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 us at the time and date stated on the electronic acknowledgement we return 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. We will retain permanent records of all web-based transactions by confirmation number. If you do not receive an electronic acknowledgement, you should telephone our 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 Services 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. Our procedures 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. We and our 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 that you did not authorize. However, if we fail to employ reasonable procedures to ensure that all requested transactions are properly authorized, we may be held liable for such losses.

We do 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. We also reserve 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 Owner, designated by the Owner ceases and we 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.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can have access to the money in your Contract:

by making either a partial or complete withdrawal,

64



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 your 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 Excess Interest Adjustment. For more information about withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” beginning on page 44. 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. We 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, proceeds will be sent to your last recorded address in our records, so 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 185.

Waiver of Withdrawal and Recapture Charges for Certain Emergencies. We will waive the withdrawal charge (withdrawals from the Investment Divisions, the Guaranteed Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account), but not any Excess Interest Adjustment that would otherwise apply in certain circumstances by providing you, at no charge, the following:

Terminal Illness Benefit, under which we will waive any withdrawal charges and recapture charges on amounts of up to $250,000 of your Contract Value from the Separate Account, the Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account that you withdraw after providing us with a physician’s statement that you have been diagnosed with an illness that will result in your death within 12 months;

Specified Conditions Benefit, under which you may make a one-time withdrawal of up to 25% (for joint Owners, this benefit applies to each of them for 12 1/2%) of your Contract Value from the Separate Account, the Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account with no withdrawal charge or recapture charge after having provided us with a physician’s statement that you have been diagnosed with one of the following conditions:

Heart attack
Stroke
Coronary artery surgery
Life threatening cancer

65


Renal failure or
Alzheimer’s disease; and

Extended Care Benefit, under which we will waive any withdrawal charges and recapture charges on amounts of up to $250,000 of your Contract Value from the Separate Account, the Fixed Account and the GMWB Fixed Account that you withdraw after providing us with a physician’s statement that you have been confined to a nursing home or hospital for 90 consecutive days, beginning at least 30 days after your Contract was issued.

You may exercise these benefits once under your Contract.

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.

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” subsection beginning on page 119.)

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

66


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 187 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 of the GMWB is supplemented by some examples in Appendix D that may assist you in understanding how the GMWB 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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). 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 GWB will not include any Contract Enhancement. 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 less any recapture charges that would be paid were you to make a full withdrawal on the date the endorsement is added. In determining the GWB, a recapture charge associated with any Contract Enhancement will reduce the GWB below the Contract Value (see Example 1c in Appendix D). 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, Contract Enhancement recapture charges, and Excess Interest 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 D 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

67


reducing the GAWA, too. Withdrawals greater than the GAWA impact the GAWA differently, depending on when you elected the GMWB, because the calculation is different. Recalculation of the GWB and GAWA may result in reducing or extending the payout period. Examples 4, 5 and 7 in Appendix D 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, less any applicable recapture charges remaining 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 -

For Contracts to which this endorsement is added on and after May 2, 2005, 7% of the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal, less any applicable recapture charges remaining after the withdrawal.

For Contracts to which this endorsement is added before May 2, 2005, 7% of the greater of:

the Contract Value after the partial withdrawal, less any applicable recapture charges remaining after the partial withdrawal; or

the GWB 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 D). For purposes of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges, recapture charges and Excess Interest 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 to which the 7% GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006 (subject to availability), withdrawals greater than the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA) are allowed, under certain circumstances, to meet the RMD under the Internal Revenue Code (Code), and the endorsement’s guarantees will not be compromised. Otherwise, the GWB and GAWA could be adversely recalculated, as described above.

68



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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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 requirements.

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.

69



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

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

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.

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 66 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 D, particularly example 2 for the varying benefit percentage and examples 6 and 7 for the Step-Ups. This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract’s accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) until the earlier of:

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

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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB (i) from an Owner that is a natural person to a trust, if that individual and the Annuitant are the same person or (ii) when the Owner is a legal entity, to another legal entity or the Annuitant, provided these changes are not taxable events under the Code. 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.

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary –
The GWB equals Contract Value less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

The GAWA 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.


71


Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancements, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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 D 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 D). 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.

72


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 less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; Or

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

The GAWA is recalculated, 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 less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account Option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. Withdrawals 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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.

73


If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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 D 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.


74


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 184.

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;

75



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.

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 66 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 D 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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). 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 GWB will not include any Contract Enhancement. 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 less any recapture charges that would be paid were you to make a full withdrawal on the date the endorsement is added. In determining the GWB, a recapture charge associated with any Contract Enhancement will reduce the GWB below the Contract Value (see Example 1c in Appendix D). 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%.

76


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, Contract Enhancement recapture charges, and Excess Interest 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 D 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 D 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 D 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.


77


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, less any applicable recapture charges remaining 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, less any applicable recapture charges remaining after the 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 D). For purposes of all of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges, recapture charges and Excess Interest 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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.

78


If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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 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.


79


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 66 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 D 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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). 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 GWB will not include any Contract Enhancement. 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 less any recapture charges that would be paid were you to make full withdrawal on the date the endorsement is added. In determining the GWB, a recapture charge associated with any Contract Enhancement will reduce the GWB below the Contract Value (see Example 1c in Appendix D). 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.


80


Withdrawal charges, Contract Enhancement recapture charges, and Excess Interest 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 D 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 D 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 D 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.

81



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, less any applicable recapture charges remaining 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, less any applicable recapture charges remaining after the 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 D). For purposes of all of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges, recapture charges and Excess Interest 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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs for either of the two calendar years occurring in that Contract Year, the GWB and GAWA would not be adversely recalculated.

82


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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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.


83


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 66 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 D 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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). 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 GWB will not include any Contract Enhancement. 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 less any recapture charges that would be paid were you to make a full withdrawal on the date the endorsement is added. In determining the GWB, a recapture charge associated with any Contract Enhancement will reduce the GWB below the Contract Value (see Example 1c in Appendix D). 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, Contract Enhancement recapture charges, and Excess Interest 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.


84


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 D 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 D 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, less any applicable recapture charges remaining 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, less any applicable recapture charges remaining after the 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 D). For purposes of these calculations, all partial withdrawals are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any withdrawal charges, recapture charges and Excess Interest 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 185.

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 D supplement this description.

85


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 recapture 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 Without Step-Up, 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 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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 Without 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.

Spousal Continuation. If you die before annuitizing a Contract with the 5% GMWB without 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 without Step-Up endorsement already applies to the Contract, the 5% GMWB without Step-Up will continue and no adjustment will be made to the GWB or the GAWA at the time of continuation. 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 without Step-Up, if the 5% GMWB without 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.


86


Termination. The 5% GMWB without 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 without Step-Up. The 5% GMWB Without 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.

See “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 66 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 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 D, 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

87


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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB (i) from an Owner that is a natural person to a trust, if that individual and Annuitant are the same person or (ii) when the Owner is a legal entity, to another legal entity or the Annuitant, provided these changes are not taxable events under the Code. 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 less the applicable recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancement, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract.

88


(See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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 D). In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value (less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement). The GAWA is also potentially impacted. 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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; 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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; 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, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account Option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

89



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 185.
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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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 D 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 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.

91



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 184.

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 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.

92


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 66 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 D, 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 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.


93


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 D, 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:

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.


94


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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB (i) from an Owner that is a natural person to a trust, if that individual and the Annuitant are the same person or (ii) when the Owner is a legal entity, to another legal entity or the Annuitant, provided these changes are not taxable events under the Code. 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.

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary –
The GWB equals Contract Value less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

The GAWA 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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancements, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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:

95


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 D 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 D). In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value (less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement). The GAWA is also 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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; 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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; Or

 
The GAWA percentage multiplied by the GWB after the withdrawal.


96


Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. Withdrawals 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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).

97


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 D, 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 D 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 less the recapture charge that would be assessed on a full withdrawal for any Contract Enhancement, 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.


98


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.

99



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 184.

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

100


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 66 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 D, 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.”

In such cases, the Owners cannot be subsequently changed (except in the limited circumstances discussed below), 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. We will allow changes (a) from joint individual ownership of non-qualified Contracts to ownership by the types of legal entities that we permit, or (b) changes of ownership from such a legal entity to the Annuitants or to another such legal entity; however, we do not allow these ownership changes if they are a taxable event under the Code, and no changes of Annuitant subsequent to any such change are allowed. For Contracts purchased in the state of Oregon, other ownership changes may be permitted, however any ownership change not specifically described above as a permitted change, will result in termination of the GMWB.

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.

101



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 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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). 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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancement, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-Up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

102



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 D 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 D 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 D). In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value (less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement). The GAWA is also 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.

103


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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; 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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; 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, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. Withdrawals 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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.

104


If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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 D 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 less the recapture charge that would be assessed on a full withdrawal for any Contract Endorsement, 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.

105


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.

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 at the beginning of this GMWB Section 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

106


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 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 184.

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);


107


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 66 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 D, 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;


108


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.

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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB (i) from an Owner that is a natural person to a trust, if that individual and the Annuitant are the same person or (ii) when the Owner is a legal entity, to another legal entity or the Annuitant, provided these changes are not taxable events under the Code. 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.


109


When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary –
The GWB equals Contract Value less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

The GAWA 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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancements, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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:
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 D 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.

110


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 D). 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, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account Option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

111



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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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.


112


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 D.)

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 D.)

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 D 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 D 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

113


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 less the recapture charge that would be assessed on a full withdrawal for any Contract Enhancement, 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.
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.

114



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.

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.

115


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.

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 184.

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);


116


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 General Considerations” and “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Important Special Considerations” beginning on page 66 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 D, particularly example 8. The box below has more information about the bonus, including:

117



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 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.


118


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 D 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

 
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 D, 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.”

In such cases, the Owners cannot be subsequently changed (except in the limited circumstances discussed below), 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. We will allow changes (a) from joint individual ownership of non-qualified Contracts to ownership by the types of legal entities that we permit, or (b) changes of ownership from such a legal entity to the Annuitants or to another such legal entity; however, we do not allow these ownership changes if they are a taxable event under the Code, and no changes of Annuitant subsequent to any such change are allowed. For Contracts purchased in the state of Oregon, other ownership changes may be permitted, however any ownership change not specifically described above as a permitted change, will result in termination of the GMWB.

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.

119



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.

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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). 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.

120


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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancement, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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:
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 D supplement this description. Because the intervals

121


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 D). 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.


122


Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount deducted from the Contract Value, including any withdrawal charges, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account Option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. Withdrawals 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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of the two RMDs exceeded the applicable GAWA for that Contract Year).

123


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 D, 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.

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 D.)

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 D.)

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 D 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 D to see how the GWB is recalculated when the $5 million maximum is hit.


124


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 less the recapture charge that would be assessed on a full withdrawal for any Contract Enhancement, 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.
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:

125


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 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 at the beginning of this GMWB Section 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.

126


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.

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.


127


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 184.

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

128


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 66 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 D, 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.

 
 
 
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.


129


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.

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 D 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.


130


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 D, 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.

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) or Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB (i) from an Owner that is a natural person to a trust, if that individual and the annuitant are the same person or (ii) when the Owner is a legal entity, to another legal entity or the Annuitant, provided these changes are not taxable events under the Code. 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.


131


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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancements, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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 D 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

132


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 D). 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, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account Option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. For more information, please see “THE GUARANTEED FIXED ACCOUNT AND GMWB FIXED ACCOUNT” beginning on page 19. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. 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 185.

133



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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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.

134



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 D.)

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 D.)

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 D 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 D 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 less the recapture charge that would be assessed on a full withdrawal for any Contract Enhancement, 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

135


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.

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

136


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).


137


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 184.

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

138


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 66 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 D, 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.


139


 
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.

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, 2009. At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2019 (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, 2012), and the Owner is younger than age 80, the Bonus Period will re-start and will be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2022. Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2024 (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, 2024, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2034. (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix D 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 D, 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.”

In such cases, the Owners cannot be subsequently changed (except in the limited circumstances discussed below), 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. We will allow changes (a) from joint individual ownership of non-qualified Contracts to ownership by the types of legal entities that we permit, or (b) changes of ownership from such a legal entity to the Annuitants or to another such legal entity; however, we do not allow these ownership changes if they are a taxable event under the Code, and no changes of Annuitant subsequent to any such change are allowed. For Contracts purchased in the state of Oregon, other ownership changes may be permitted, however any ownership change not specifically described above as a permitted change, will result in termination of the GMWB.


140


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.

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) or Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). 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 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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancement, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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 D 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.

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 D). 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, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account Option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. For more information, please see “THE GUARANTEED FIXED ACCOUNT AND GMWB FIXED ACCOUNT” beginning on page 19. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. 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 185.


143


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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, 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 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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.

144



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 D.)

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 D.)

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 D 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 D 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 less the recapture charge that would be assessed on a full withdrawal for any Contract Enhancement, 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

145


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).


146


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 at the beginning of this GMWB Section 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.

147



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 184.

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.


148


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 66 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 D, 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.


149


 
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.

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, 2009. At that time, the bonus period is scheduled to expire on December 1, 2019 (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, 2012), 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, 2022. Further, assuming that the next Bonus Base increase due to a Step-Up does not occur until December 1, 2024 (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, 2024, and would be scheduled to expire on December 1, 2034. (Please also see Examples 6 and 7 in Appendix D 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.

For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit With Bonus, Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment and Annual Step-Up (“LifeGuard Select”).

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.

150



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 D, 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).

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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB (i) from an Owner that is a natural person to a trust, if that individual and the Annuitant are the same person or (ii) when the Owner is a legal entity, to another legal entity or the Annuitant, provided these changes are not taxable events under the Code. 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.

151


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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancement, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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 D 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.

152


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 D). 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


153


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, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account Option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. Withdrawals 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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.

154


If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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 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 D.)

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 D.)

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 D 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.

155



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 D.)

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 D.)

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 D 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 D 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

156


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 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.


157


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 High 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/Fixed Account Options and the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with the non-discretionary formulas defined in the Transfer of Assets Methodology found in Appendix E. 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/Fixed Account Options and the GMWB Fixed Account. Amounts transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account will be transferred from each Investment Division/Fixed Account Option in proportion to their current value. Transfers from Fixed Account Options will be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment, if applicable. There is no Excess Interest Adjustment on transfers from the GMWB Fixed Account.

Generally, automatic transfers to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/Fixed Account Options 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 E 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/Fixed Account Options.

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

158


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 D. Please also see the Transfer of Assets Methodology in Appendix E, 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/Fixed Account Options. 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 Fixed Account Options 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 25 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.

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 Excess Interest 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.

159


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 E) 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.


160


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 Fixed Account Options 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 184.

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 Fixed Account Options 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

161


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 66 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 D, 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.


162


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 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 D, 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.”

In such cases, the Owners cannot be subsequently changed (except in the limited circumstances discussed below), 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. We will allow changes (a) from joint individual ownership of non-qualified

163


Contracts to ownership by the types of legal entities that we permit, or (b) changes of ownership from such a legal entity to the Annuitants or to another such legal entity; however, we do not allow these ownership changes if they are a taxable event under the Code, and no changes of Annuitant subsequent to any such change are allowed. For Contracts purchased in the state of Oregon, other ownership changes may be permitted, however any ownership change not specifically described above as a permitted change, will result in termination of the GMWB.

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).

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) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). 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

164


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 less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

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.

Contract Enhancements and the corresponding recapture charges are not included in the calculation of the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date. This is why 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, which will include any previously applied Contract Enhancement, and, as a result, we subtract any applicable recapture charge from the Contract Value to calculate the GWB. In any event, with Contract Enhancements, the result is a GWB that is less than Contract Value when this GMWB is added to the Contract. (See Example 1 in Appendix D.) 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 D 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.)


165


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 D 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 D). 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.


166


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, recapture charges and other charges or adjustments. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account Option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement. Withdrawals 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 185.

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 recapture 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 Contract Year (ending June 30, 2020) is $10. The RMDs for calendar years 2019 and 2020 are $14 and $16, respectively.
If the Owner withdraws $7 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2019 and $8 in the first and second halves of calendar year 2020, then at the time the withdrawal in the first half of calendar year 2019 is taken, the Owner will have withdrawn $15 in the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Because the sum of the Owner’s withdrawals for the Contract Year running from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is less than the greater of the RMDs 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, 1949, of a tax-qualified Contract with a Contract Year that runs from July 1 to June 30.

167


If the Owner delays taking his first RMD (the 2019 RMD) until March 30, 2020, he may still take the 2020 RMD before the next Contract Year begins on June 30, 2020 without an adverse recalculation of the GWB and GAWA. However, if he takes his second RMD (the 2020 RMD) after June 30, 2020, he should wait until the following Contract Year begins on July 1, 2021 to take his third RMD (the 2021 RMD) because, except for the calendar year in which RMDs begin, withdrawing two RMDs in a single Contract Year could cause the GWB and GAWA to be adversely recalculated (if the total of 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 D, 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 D.)

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 D.)

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 D 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.


168


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 D.)

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 D.)

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 D 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.

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 D 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

169


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 1.86% (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.


170


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 High 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/Fixed Account Options and the GMWB Fixed Account in accordance with the non-discretionary formulas defined in the Transfer of Assets Methodology found in Appendix E. 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/Fixed Account Options and the GMWB Fixed Account. Amounts transferred to the GMWB Fixed Account will be transferred from each Investment Division/Fixed Account Option in proportion to their current value. Transfers from Fixed Account Options will be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment, if applicable. There is no Excess Interest Adjustment on transfers from the GMWB Fixed Account.

Generally, automatic transfers to the GMWB Fixed Account from your elected Investment Divisions/Fixed Account Options 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 E 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/Fixed Account Options.

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

171


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 D. Please also see the Transfer of Assets Methodology in Appendix E, 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/Fixed Account Options. 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 Fixed Account Options 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 25 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 Excess Interest 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.

172


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.

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.


173


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 E) 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.

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 Fixed Account Options 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 184.

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 Fixed Account Options based on the current premium allocation for the Contract.


174


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 66 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 D, 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.


175


 
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 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 D

176


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. You may also be subject to a withdrawal charge and an Excess Interest 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.

Suspension of Withdrawals or Transfers. We may be required to suspend or delay withdrawals or transfers to or from an Investment Division when:

the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);

under applicable SEC rules, trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

under applicable SEC rules, an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of securities in an Investment Division or determine the value of its assets; or

the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of Owners.

We have reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from the Guaranteed Fixed Account and GMWB Fixed Account for the period permitted by law, but not more than six months.

INCOME PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

The income phase of your Contract occurs when you begin receiving regular income payments from us. The Income Date is the day those payments begin. Once income payments begin, the Contract cannot be returned to the accumulation phase. 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 seven days before the Income Date, but changes to the Income Date may only be to a later date. You must give us written notice at least seven days before the scheduled Income Date. Income payments must begin by your 90th birthday under a non-qualified Contract, or by such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation, unless otherwise approved by the Company. 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 required minimum distribution 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 to receive fixed payments or variable payments based on the Investment Divisions. 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, we 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, we may set the frequency of payments so that the first payment would be at least $50.


177


Variable Income Payments. If you choose to have any portion of your income payments based upon one or more Investment Divisions, the dollar amount of your initial annuity payment will depend primarily upon the following:

the amount of your Contract Value you allocate to the Investment Division(s) on the Income Date;

the amount of any applicable premium taxes, recapture charges or withdrawal charges deducted from your Contract Value on the Income Date;

which income option you select; and

the investment factors listed in your Contract that translate the amount of your Contract Value (as adjusted for applicable charges, frequency of payment and commencement date) into initial payment amounts that are measured by the number of Annuity Units of the Investment Division(s) you select credited to your Contract.

The investment factors in your Contract are calculated based upon a variety of factors, including an assumed investment rate of 3% for Option 4 or 4.5% for Options 1-3 and, if you select an income option with a life contingency, the age and gender of the Annuitant.

If the actual net investment rate experienced by an Investment Division exceeds the assumed net investment rate, variable annuity payments will increase over time. Conversely, if the actual net investment rate is less than the assumed net investment rate, variable annuity payments will decrease over time. If the actual net investment rate equals the assumed net investment rate, the variable annuity payments will remain constant.

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.

We calculate the dollar amount of subsequent income payments that you receive based upon the performance of the Investment Divisions you select. If that performance (measured by changes in the value of Annuity Units) exceeds the assumed investment rate, then your income payments will increase; if that performance is less than the assumed investment rate, then 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). An income option may be elected or changed up to seven days prior to the Income Date. 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. 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 at Least 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 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 - We may make other income options available.


178


Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“FutureGuard”).

PLEASE NOTE: EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 3, 2007, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ADD TO A CONTRACT.

Additionally, on and after May 16, 2009, we will no longer accept subsequent premium payments for contracts to which this Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit endorsement is attached. This subsequent premium limitation does not apply to contracts issued in Maryland.

The optional Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) endorsement guarantees a minimum fixed income benefit (under certain life contingent options) after a period of at least 10 Contract Years, subject to specific conditions, regardless of the Allocation Option(s) you select during the accumulation phase. This benefit is only available if:

you elect it prior to your Contract’s Issue Date;

the Annuitant is not older than age 75 on the Issue Date; and

you exercise it on or within 30 calendar days of your 10th, or any subsequent, Contract anniversary, but in no event later than the 30 calendar day period following the Contract anniversary immediately following the Annuitant’s 85th birthday.

The GMIB will terminate and will not be payable at the earliest of:

the Income Date (if prior to the effective date of the GMIB);

the 31st calendar day following the Contract anniversary immediately after the Annuitant’s 85th birthday;

the date you make a total withdrawal from the Contract;

upon your death (unless your spouse is your Beneficiary, elects to continue the Contract and is eligible for this benefit); or

if the Owner is not a natural person, upon the death of the Annuitant.

Once elected, the GMIB cannot be terminated in any other way while your Contract is in force.

You have the option of taking the GMIB instead of the other income options described above. Your monthly income option payments will be calculated by applying the “GMIB Benefit Base” (described below) to the annuity rates in the table of guaranteed purchase rates attached to the GMIB endorsement. The only types of income payments available under the GMIB are life contingent fixed annuity income payments. The fixed annuity payment income options currently available are:

Option 1 - Life Income,

Option 2 - Joint and Survivor,

Option 3 - Life Annuity with 120 Monthly Periods Guaranteed, and

Option 4 - Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with 120 Monthly Periods Guaranteed.

No other income options will be available.

After the 10th Contract anniversary or any subsequent Contract anniversary, the Contract Owner must exercise this option prior to the Income Date. The GMIB may not be appropriate for Owners who will be subject to any minimum distribution requirements under an IRA or other qualified plan prior to the expiration of 10 Contract Years. Please consult a tax advisor on this and other matters of selecting income options.

The GMIB only applies to the determination of income payments under the income options specified above. It is not a guarantee of Contract Value or performance. This benefit does not enhance the amounts paid in partial withdrawals, surrenders or death benefits. If you surrender your Contract, you will not receive any benefit under this endorsement.

179



Both the amount of the GMIB and the quarterly charge for the GMIB (described above in the Charges section) are based upon an amount called the “GMIB Benefit Base.” The GMIB Benefit Base is the greater of (a) or (b), where (a) is:

all premiums you have paid (net of any applicable premium taxes); plus

any Contract Enhancements credited on or before the business day the GMIB Benefit Base is being calculated; minus

an adjustment (described below) for any withdrawals (including any applicable charges and Excess Interest Adjustments to those withdrawals); minus

annual contract maintenance charges, transfer charges and any applicable Contract charges due (other than the GMIB charge) under any optional endorsement; and minus

any taxes incurred, or chargeable under the Contract;

compounded at an annual interest rate of 6% from the date your Contract was issued until the earlier of the date the charge is assessed, the Annuitant’s 80th birthday or the date the GMIB is exercised;

and (b) is:

the greatest Contract Value on any Contract anniversary prior to the Annuitant’s 81st birthday; minus

an adjustment (described below) for any withdrawals after that Contract anniversary (including any applicable charges and Excess Interest Adjustments for those withdrawals); plus

any premiums paid (net of any applicable premium taxes) after that Contract anniversary; minus

any annual contract maintenance charge, transfer charge, and any applicable charges due under any optional endorsement deducted after that Contract anniversary; and minus

any taxes deducted after that Contract anniversary.

All adjustments to the GMIB Benefit Base will be deemed to occur at the time of the withdrawal, premium payment, or the deduction of the specified charges or taxes chargeable under the Contract. Adjustments for withdrawals (including related charges and Excess Interest Adjustments) will reduce the GMIB Benefit Base in the same proportion that Contract Value was reduced on the date of that withdrawal. When (a) is greater than (b), not deducting the GMIB charge from (a) increases the GMIB Benefit Base and potentially the monthly income payments, while slightly increasing the GMIB charge.

The GMIB Benefit Base will never exceed:

200% of premiums paid (net of any applicable premium taxes and excluding premiums paid in the 12 months prior to the date the GMIB is exercised); minus

any withdrawals (including related charges and Excess Interest Adjustments); minus

annual contract maintenance charges, transfer charges and any applicable charges due under any optional endorsement; and minus

taxes incurred since that Contract was issued.

If you are the Annuitant under your Contract and your spouse continues the Contract after your death, your spouse will become the Annuitant and will continue to be eligible for the GMIB as long as he or she would have been eligible as an Annuitant when your Contract was issued and is age 84 or younger. If your spouse does not satisfy those criteria, then the GMIB will terminate and the charge for the GMIB will be discontinued. Similarly, if an Owner who is a natural person is not the Annuitant and the Annuitant dies, you (the Owner) may select a new Annuitant (who must be a person eligible to be an Annuitant on the Issue Date and is age 84 or younger). If the new Annuitant in that situation does not satisfy those criteria then the GMIB will terminate and the GMIB charge discontinued. In the event of joint Annuitants, the age of the youngest Annuitant will be used for all these determinations. Changing an Annuitant or selecting a new Annuitant while the current Annuitant is still living is not allowed.

180



Among other requirements applicable to contracts issued to entities/Owners, the use of multiple contracts by related entities to avoid maximum premium limits is not permitted. Selection of the GMIB, with multiple Contracts or otherwise, is subject to our administrative rules designed to assure its appropriate use. We may update these rules as necessary.

You may NOT elect both the GMIB and a GMWB.

DEATH BENEFIT

The death benefit paid to your Beneficiary upon your death is calculated as of the date we receive all required documentation in Good Order which includes, but is not limited to, 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 Earnings Protection Benefit and/or one of the other death benefit endorsements. If you have a guaranteed minimum death benefit, the difference between the account value and the guaranteed minimum 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. 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.

The effects of any GMWB on the amount payable to your beneficiaries upon your death should be considered before selecting a GMWB. See the individual GMWB subsections earlier in this prospectus under “ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY” for information about how the GMWB endorsements work.

Basic 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 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. Only a spousal Beneficiary has the right to continue the Contract in force upon your death.

The death benefit equals the greater of:

(a)
your Contract Value on the date we receive proof of death and completed claim forms from your Beneficiary; or

(b)
total “Net Premium (premiums you paid net of premium taxes minus any withdrawals (including any applicable charges and adjustments), annual Contract maintenance charges, transfer charges, any applicable charges due under any optional endorsement and taxes we have paid (these charges are collected from Contract Value)), compounded at 2%.

The amounts in (b) are limited to 250% of Net Premiums paid under the Contract.

For purposes of calculating (b) all adjustments to the Net Premiums will occur at the time of the withdrawal, premium payment, or deduction of the annual Contract maintenance charges, transfer charges, any applicable charges due to optional endorsement or taxes and all adjustments for amounts withdrawn will reduce the Net Premiums in the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of that withdrawal.

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.


181


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 we receive 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, we will pay the death benefit within seven days. If your Beneficiary is your spouse, he/she may elect to continue the Contract in his/her own name. The Special Spousal Continuation option is one way to continue your Contract. See “Special Spousal Continuation Option” below.

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 Pre-selected 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 law. The Pre-selected Death Benefit Option may not be available in all states.

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 age 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 exceeds the remaining premiums (premiums not previously withdrawn). If the earnings amount is negative, i.e., the total remaining premiums are greater than your 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, earnings shall never exceed 250% of the remaining premiums, excluding remaining 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).

As described below, if your spouse exercises the Special Spousal Continuation Option upon your death, the Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid upon your death and your spouse may then discontinue the Earnings Protection Benefit. If your spouse fails to make such an election, the Earnings Protection Benefit will remain in force and upon your spouse’s death we will pay an Earnings Protection Benefit if the 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 is 250% of the Contract Value after application of the continuation adjustment plus remaining premiums paid on or after the Continuation Date (excluding remaining premiums paid within 12 months of your spouse’s death).

You must elect the Earnings Protection Benefit when you apply for your Contract. Once elected, the benefit may not be terminated. However, if the Contract is continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, your spouse may then elect to discontinue the Earnings Protection Benefit.

No Earnings Protection Benefit (other than a “continuation adjustment” described below in “Special Spousal Continuation”) will be paid:

if your Contract is in the income phase at the time of your death;

if there are no earnings in your Contract; or

if your spouse exercises the Special Spousal Continuation Option (described below) and either
is age 76 or older at the Continuation Date or
elects to discontinue the Earnings Protection Benefit.

If you elect this benefit, we will deduct an additional annualized charge of 0.30% of the average daily asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions during the accumulation phase of the Contract.

182



This charge continues if your spouse elects to continue the Contract under the Special Spousal Continuation Option unless your spouse elects to discontinue it. The Earnings Protection Benefit may not be available in your state. See your financial advisor for information regarding the availability of the Earnings Protection Benefit.

Optional Death Benefits. You may elect to protect your Contract’s death benefit from certain types of poor investment performance by selecting (in lieu of or in addition to any Earnings Protection Benefit) one of three optional death benefits:

I.
5% Compounded Death Benefit, changes your basic death benefit to the greatest of:

(a)
Your “Contract Value” on the date we receive proof of death and completed claim forms from your Beneficiary; or

(b)
Total “Net Premiums” (premiums you paid net of premium taxes minus any withdrawals (including any applicable charges and adjustments), annual Contract maintenance charges, transfer charges, any applicable charges due under any optional endorsement and taxes we have paid - these charges are collected from Contract Value), compounded at 5% (4% if you are age 70 or older on the date your Contract is issued); or

(c)
Your Contract Value at the end of your seventh Contract Year, plus Net Premiums you paid after the seventh Contract Year, compounded at 5% (4% if you are age 70 or older on the date your Contract is issued).

Amounts in (b) and (c) are limited to 250% of Net Premiums paid under your Contract.

II.
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit changes your basic death benefit to the greatest of:

(a)
Your “Contract Value” on the date we receive proof of death and completed claim forms from your Beneficiary; or

(b)
Total Net Premiums since your Contract was issued, compounded at 2%; or

(c)
Your greatest Contract Value on any Contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, reduced by any withdrawals (including any applicable withdrawal charges and adjustments), annual Contract maintenance charges, transfer charges, and any applicable charges due under any optional endorsement subsequent to that Contract anniversary, plus any premiums paid (net of any applicable premium taxes) subsequent to that Contract anniversary, minus taxes deducted subsequent to that Contract anniversary.

Amounts in (b) are limited to 250% of Net Premiums paid under your Contract.

III.
Combination Death Benefit, changes your basic death benefit to the greatest of:

(a)
Your “Contract Value” on the date we receive proof of death and completed claim forms from your Beneficiary; or

(b)
Total Net Premiums since your Contract was issued, compounded at 5% (4% if you are age 70 or older on the date your Contract is issued); or

(c)
Your Contract Value at the end of your seventh Contract Year, plus Net Premiums you paid after the seventh Contract Year, compounded at 5% (4% if you are age 70 or older on the date your Contract is issued); or

(d)
Your greatest Contract Value on any Contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, reduced by any withdrawals (including any applicable withdrawal charges and adjustments, annual Contract maintenance charges, transfer charges and any applicable charges due under any optional endorsement subsequent to that Contract anniversary, plus any premiums paid (net of any applicable premium taxes) subsequent to that Contract anniversary, minus taxes deducted subsequent to that Contract anniversary).

183



Amounts in (b) and (c) are limited to 250% of Net Premiums paid under your Contract.

For purposes of calculating I. (b), (c), II. (b), (c) and III. (b), (c) and (d), all adjustments to the Net Premiums or Contract anniversary values will occur at the time of the withdrawal, premium payment, or deduction of the annual Contract maintenance charges, transfer charges, any applicable charges due to an optional endorsement or taxes and all adjustments for amounts withdrawn will reduce the Net Premiums or Contract anniversary values in items I. (b), (c), II. (b), (c) and III. (b), (c) and (d) above in the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of that withdrawal.

You may not elect the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit or the Combination Death Benefit if you are older than age 80 when your Contract is issued. The closer you are to age 81 when your Contract is issued, the less advantageous it would be for you to select these options. The optional death benefits may not be available in all states.

If an optional death benefit is selected, the use of multiple contracts by related entities/Owners to avoid the 250% premium limit will not permitted. Selection of these optional benefits is subject to our administrative rules designed to assure their appropriate use. We may update these rules as necessary.

Each of the three optional death benefits is designed to increase your death benefit from that provided by the base death benefit only if the investment performance and credited rates of the allocation options to which you have allocated your Contract Values has not been sufficient to make your Contract Value the applicable death benefit. Normally, each of the three optional death benefits would be greater than your Contract’s base death benefit if your Contract Value is not greater than net payments. If you make substantial withdrawals, however, it is possible in some circumstances for your Contract’s base death benefit to be greater than any of the optional death benefits, even if your Contract Value is not greater than your net payments.

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 Protection Benefit, and Optional Death Benefit, if any) exceeds the Contract Value. We calculate this amount using the Contract Value and death benefit as of the date we receive completed 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 current 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. However, the spouse may continue the Contract at Contract Value without exercising the Special Spousal Continuation Option. 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 under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, 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 most of the optional benefits you elected. However, your spouse may then terminate the Earnings Protection Benefit and no further Earnings Protection Benefit charges will be deducted and no Earnings Protection Benefit will be paid upon your spouse’s death. The GMIB will terminate upon your death (and no further GMIB charges will be deducted), unless your spouse is eligible for the benefit and elects to continue the Contract. For more information, please see “Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit” beginning on page 179. Similarly, a GMWB will also terminate upon your death (and no further GMWB charges will be deducted), unless your spouse is eligible for the benefit and elects to continue the Contract. Some GMWBs may be terminated by your spouse on the Continuation Date. For more information, please see the individual GMWB subsections earlier in this prospectus under “ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY.” The Contract, and its optional benefits, remains the same, except as described above. Your spouse will also be subject to the same fees, charges and expenses under the Contract as you were.

Unless your spouse discontinues the Earnings Protection Benefit on the Continuation Date, charges for the benefit will be deducted even though no Earnings Protection Benefit will apply if your spouse is 76 or older when the Contract is continued.

If you have elected the Pre-selected Death Benefit Option Election the Contract cannot be continued under the Special Spousal Continuation Option, unless preventing continuation would be prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code. The Pre-selected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.

184


Death of Owner On or After the Income Date. If you or a joint Owner dies, and is not the Annuitant, 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 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 guaranteed payment will be paid to the Beneficiary as provided for in the income option selected. Any remaining guaranteed payment will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant’s death.

TAXES

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.

CONTRACT OWNER TAXATION

Tax-Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts. If you purchase your Contract as a part of a tax-qualified plan such as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), Tax-Sheltered Annuity (sometimes referred to as a 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 your 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 a withdrawal, including withdrawals under any GMWB you may elect, or 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., a corporation or certain other entities other than a trust holding the Contract as an agent for a natural person). 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 non-qualified 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.


185


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:

paid on or after the date you reach age 59 1/2;

paid to your Beneficiary after you die;

paid if you become totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Code);

paid in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually (or more frequently) for your life (or life expectancy) or for a period not exceeding the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your Beneficiary;

paid under an immediate annuity; or

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. 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 distributions 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:

reaches age 59 1/2;

leaves his/her job;

dies;

becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); or

experiences hardship. However, in the case of hardship, the Owner can only withdraw the premium and not any earnings.


186


Withdrawals – Roth IRAs. Subject to certain limitations, individuals may also purchase a 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 annuities 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 $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:

there was a written agreement providing for payments of the fees solely from the annuity Contract,

the Contract Owner had no liability for the fees, and

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 death benefit riders attached thereto have been approved by the IRS for use as an Individual Retirement Annuity prototype.

Assignment. An assignment of your Contract will generally be a taxable event. Assignments of a tax-qualified Contract may also be limited by the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. These limits are summarized in the SAI. You should consult your tax adviser prior to making any assignment of your 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. We believe 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 8 options whereas a Contract currently offers 146 Investment Divisions and at least one Fixed Account option, and, if more than 99 options are offered, a Contract Owner’s Contract Value can be allocated to no more than 99 fixed and variable 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 25 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

187


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.

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.

JACKSON TAXATION

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.

OTHER INFORMATION

Dollar Cost Averaging. If the amount allocated to the Investment Divisions plus the amount allocated to Guaranteed Fixed Account options is at least $15,000, you can arrange to have a regular amount of money periodically transferred automatically into the Investment Divisions and other Guaranteed Fixed Account options (if currently available) from the one-year Guaranteed Fixed Account or any of the Investment Divisions. If the Guaranteed Fixed Account options are not available or otherwise restricted, dollar cost averaging will be exclusively from the Investment Divisions. In the case of transfers from the Guaranteed Fixed Account or Investment Divisions with a stable unit value to the Investment Divisions, this can let you pay a lower average cost per unit over time than you would receive if you made a one-time purchase. Transfers from the more volatile Investment Divisions may not result in lower average costs, and such Investment 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+ Fixed Account is a “source account” designed for dollar cost averaging transfers to Investment Divisions or systematic transfers to other Guaranteed Fixed Account options. The DCA+ Fixed Account is credited with an enhanced interest rate. If a DCA+ Fixed Account is selected, monies in the DCA+ Fixed Account will be systematically transferred to the Investment Divisions or other Guaranteed Fixed Account options chosen over the DCA+ term

188


selected. You should consult your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of the Guaranteed Fixed Account options and the availability of DCA+.

Earnings Sweep. You can choose to move your earnings from the source accounts (only applicable from the one year Guaranteed Fixed Account Option, if currently available, and the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Fund). There is no charge for Earnings Sweep.

Rebalancing. You can arrange to have us automatically reallocate your Contract Value among Investment Divisions and the one-year Guaranteed Fixed Account (if currently available) 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.

You may cancel a Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep or Rebalancing program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions.

Free Look. You may return your Contract to the selling agent or us within ten days (or longer if required by your state) after receiving it. We will return:

the Contract Value, plus

any fees (other than asset-based fees) and expenses deducted from the premiums, minus

any applicable Contract Enhancement recapture charges.

We will determine the Contract Value in the Investment Divisions as of the date we receive your Contract (subject to state variations). We will return premium payments where required by law. In some states, we are required to hold the premiums of a senior citizen in the 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, we may advertise several types of performance of 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 by, 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 Fund, 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 mortality and expense risk and administration charges and may reflect the deduction of Contract maintenance and withdrawal charges, but will not reflect charges for optional features except in performance data used in sales materials that promote those optional features. The deduction of withdrawal charges and/or the charges for optional features 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.


189


Modification of Your Contract. Only our President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary may approve a change to or waive a provision of your Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. We may change the terms of your Contract without your consent in order to comply with changes in applicable law, or otherwise as we deem necessary.

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 class actions and a number of civil proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and otherwise. 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.

APPENDIX D

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:
s
Your initial GWB is $100,000, which is your initial Premium payment.
s
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 when the Contract Value is $105,000:
s
Your initial GWB is $105,000, which is your Contract Value on the effective date of the endorsement.
s
Your GAWA is $5,250, which is 5% of your initial GWB ($105,000*0.05 = $5,250).

Example 1c: If the GMWB is elected after issue or you convert to another GMWB, if permitted, when the Contract Value is $110,000 and your Contract includes a Contract Enhancement with a total Recapture Charge of $5,000 at the time the GMWB is elected or converted:
s
Your initial GWB in your new GMWB is $105,000, which is your Contract Value ($110,000) less the Recapture Charge ($5,000) 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 less the Recapture Charge 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.
s
Your GAWA is $5,250, which is 5% of your initial GWB ($105,000*0.05 = $5,250).

Notes:
s
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 less any applicable Recapture Charge if the endorsement is elected after issuance of the Contract.
s
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base is set equal to your GWB at the time of election.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.

D-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:
s
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).
s
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:
s
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.
s
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:
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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 for those GMWBs related to qualified contracts that permit withdrawals in excess of the GAWA to equal 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:
s
Your new GWB is $95,000, which is your GWB prior to the withdrawal ($100,000) less the amount of the withdrawal ($5,000).
s
Your GAWA for the next year remains $5,000, since you did not withdraw an amount that exceeds your GAWA.
s
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:
s
Your new GWB is $92,500, which is your GWB prior to the withdrawal ($100,000) less the amount of the withdrawal ($7,500).
s
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).
s
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:
s
If your endorsement allows for re-determination of the GAWA%, your BDB remains unchanged since the BDB is not adjusted for partial withdrawals.
s
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.
s
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision is terminated since a withdrawal is taken.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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:
s
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).
s
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 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

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:
s
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.

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

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].

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).

Notes:
s
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.
s
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.
s
If your endorsement includes a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision is terminated since a withdrawal is taken.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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:
s
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $200,000, which is equal to your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable).

D-5


s
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.
s
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).
s
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:
s
Your new GWB is recalculated to equal $90,000, which is equal to your Contract Value (or highest quarterly Contract Value, as applicable).
s
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.
s
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).
s
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:
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.
s
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your GWB adjustment remains unchanged since step-ups do not impact the GWB adjustment.
s
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.
s
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:
s
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.
s
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

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.
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:
s
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.
s
This example would also apply in situations when the withdrawal exceeded your GAWA but not your permissible RMD.
s
Your endorsement may contain a provision allowing the Company to increase the GMWB charge upon step-up.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.
s
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision, your Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Adjustment provision is terminated at the time of the withdrawal.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.


D-8


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:
s
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).
s
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).
s
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:
s
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).
s
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).
s
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:
s
Your bonus base is not recalculated upon the application of the bonus to your GWB.
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.
s
If the For Life Guarantee is not in effect, your GAWA would not be permitted to exceed your remaining GWB.
s
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:
s
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).
s
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

D-9


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:
s
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.
s
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:
s
Your GAWA for the next year is recalculated to equal $0, which is equal to 5% of the current GWB ($0*0.05 = $0).
s
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).
s
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:
s
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:
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.
s
Your GWB remains $100,000 and your GAWA remains unchanged at the time of continuation.

Notes:
s
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.
s
If your endorsement contains a Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance Bonus provision, your bonus base remains unchanged at the time of continuation.

D-10


s
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:
s
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:
s
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:
s
The 200% GWB adjustment provision is terminated on the 200% GWB Adjustment Date after the 200% GWB adjustment is applied (if any).
s
Since you have taken no withdrawals, your GAWA% and GAWA have not yet been determined, thus no adjustment is made to your GAWA.
s
No adjustment is made to your bonus base since the bonus base is not impacted by the 200% GWB adjustment.
s
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.
s
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 E. The annuity factors referenced in this example are also found in Appendix E. (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:
s
Your liability is equal to $91,560, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 15.26 = $91,560).
s
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%].
s
Since the ratio (91.56%) is greater than the upper breakpoint (83%), funds are transferred from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account Options 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].
s
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).
s
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].
s
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 Fixed Account Options is 5%:

D-11


s
Your liability is equal to $88,980, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 14.83 = $88,980).
s
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%].
s
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 Fixed Account Options. 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].
s
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).
s
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).
s
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 Fixed Account Options ($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 Fixed Account Options is 5%:
s
Your liability is equal to $86,340, which is your GAWA multiplied by your annuity factor ($6,000 * 14.39 = $86,340).
s
The ratio is not calculated since the sum of the Separate Account Contract Value and the Fixed Account Contract Value is equal to zero.
s
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 Fixed Account Options. 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].
s
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).
s
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).
s
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 Fixed Account Options ($0 + $68,300 * 0.05 = $3,415).

Notes:
s
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.
s
The amount transferred from each Investment Division and Fixed Account Option to the GMWB Fixed Account will be in proportion to their current value. The amount transferred to each Investment Division and Fixed Account Option will be based on your most current premium allocation instructions.
s
Funds transferred out of the Fixed Account Option(s) will be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment (if applicable).
s
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.

D-12


APPENDIX E

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.

APPENDIX F

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 a base Contract (with no optional endorsements) and for a Contract with the most expensive combination of charges and 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.

If the annualized charge for your Contract falls between the charge for a base Contract and a Contract with the most expensive combination of optional endorsements, information about the values of all remaining Accumulation Units is available in the SAI. Contact the Annuity Service Center to request your copy of the SAI free of charge. Our 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.

The Accumulation Unit value information for JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund (JNL Series Trust) includes historical information from the JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund (JNL Investors Series Trust) for periods before the merger of JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund (JNL Investors Series Trust) into JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund (JNL Series Trust), effective April 25, 2016.
