After the Annuity Date, we will provide you with any information that may be required.

Payments, Instructions and Requests – Unless this Contract provides otherwise, all Purchase Payments, instructions and requests must be received in a form satisfactory to us at our Service Center. Any subsequent Purchase Payments, transfers or withdrawals received by us on any Business Day usually will be processed the same Business Day, unless the transaction or event is scheduled to occur on another day.

Generally, all other instructions and requests applicable to a Subaccount normally will be effective as of the end of the Business Day following the day such instructions and requests are received, in a form satisfactory to us, unless the transaction or event is scheduled to occur on another day. If any transaction or event is scheduled to occur on a day that does not exist in a given month, such transaction or event will occur on the last calendar day of the month, unless otherwise stated.

We may require that you provide signature guarantees or other safeguards for any instruction, request or other document you may send to our Service Center. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable for any loss, liability, cost or expense of any kind or character for acting on instructions or requests submitted to us that we reasonably believe to be genuine.

Entire Contract – This Contract, the attached application and any attached riders and endorsements, constitute the entire Contract, and supersede any and all prior agreements, whether oral or written, about the terms of this Contract and the application. All statements made in the application are representations and not warranties.

Contract Modifications – Modifications to this Contract or any waiver of our rights or requirements under this Contract can only be made if in writing by an authorized officer of the Company. This Contract is intended to qualify as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. In addition, if this Contract is a Qualified Contract, this Contract is intended to qualify as part of a Qualified Plan. To that end, the provisions of this Contract are to be interpreted and administered to ensure or maintain such tax qualification, notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary. We reserve the right to amend this Contract without the Owner’s consent (except in those states where Owner’s consent is required) and/or our administrative procedures to reflect any clarifications that may be needed or are appropriate to maintain its tax qualification or to conform this Contract to any applicable changes in the tax qualification requirements.

Basis of Values – A detailed statement showing how values are determined has been filed with the state insurance departments. All values and reserves are at least equal to those required by the laws of the state in which this Contract is delivered.

Minimum Benefits – The benefits provided under this contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by NAIC Standard Non-Forfeiture Law for Individual Deferred Annuities, model #805.

ICC09:10-1169

Assignment – You may assign all rights and benefits under this Contract before the Annuity Date. The assignment is effective on the date the notice of assignment is signed, subject to any payments made or actions taken by us prior to our receipt of the notice. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. If the Contract has been absolutely assigned, the assignee becomes the Owner. You should consult with your tax adviser to determine the tax consequences of an assignment before taking any action.

Delay of Payments – Generally, we will pay any amounts due from the Contract within seven (7) days after our receipt of the request, in a form satisfactory to us. Payments or transfers to or from a Variable Account may be delayed after our receipt of the request under certain circumstances. These include:

• a closing of the New York Stock Exchange other than on a regular holiday or weekend;

• a trading restriction by the SEC; or

• an emergency declared by the SEC.

We may delay payments or transfers from our General Account (which would include payment of the withdrawal proceeds, transfers from any FAO, fixed annuity payments and lump sum death benefit payments, unless state law requires otherwise) for up to six (6) months after the requested effective date of the transaction. Any amount delayed, so long as it is held under any FAO, will earn interest at the GMIR on an annual basis thereafter while any delay continues.

If you make any Purchase Payment by check, other than a cashier’s check, we may delay making payments to you until your check has cleared.

Incontestability – After this Contract has been issued, we will not contest the validity of this Contract other than for misstatement of age, sex or identity.

Misstatement of Age and/or Sex – We may require proof of the Annuitant’s or Owner’s Age and/or sex before any payments associated with the death benefit proceeds are made. If the Age and/or sex of the Annuitant or Owner is incorrectly stated, we will base any such payment associated with the death benefit proceeds on the Annuitant’s or Owner’s correct Age and/or sex.

We may require proof of the Annuitant’s Age and/or sex before starting annuity payments. If the Age and/or sex (or both) of the Annuitant is incorrectly stated, we will correct the amount payable, based upon the Annuitant’s correct Age and/or sex, if applicable. If we make the correction after annuity payments have started and we have made overpayments, we will deduct the amount of the overpayment, with interest at 3% per year, from any payments due then or later. If we have made underpayments, we will add the amount, with interest at 3% per year, of the underpayments to the next payment we make after we receive proof of the correct Age and/or sex.

Proof of Life or Death – Before we make a payment, we have the right to require proof of the life or death of any person on whose life or death determines whether, to whom, or how much we must pay any benefits under this Contract.

Withholding Taxes – We reserve the right to withhold from all payments made or deemed made under this Contract, any taxes required to be withheld by applicable federal or state law, unless the Owner or payee elects otherwise pursuant to applicable withholding rules.

Non-Participating – This Contract is classified as a non-participating contract. It does not participate in our profits or surplus, and therefore no dividends are payable.

Conformity with IIPRC Standards – This contract was approved under the authority of the IIPRC and issued under the IIPRC standards. If there is any contract provision that is in conflict with any IIPRC standards applicable to this Contract when this Contract was issued, the provision is amended to conform to the standard. Any such amendment is effective on the Contract Date.

ICC09:10-1169

PURCHASE PAYMENTS

Initial Purchase Payment – This Contract will not be in force until we receive at our Service Center the Initial Purchase Payment. The Initial Purchase Payment is shown in the Contract Specifications.

Additional Purchase Payments – You may make additional Purchase Payments within the first 60 days of the Contract Date, while the Annuitant is living and this Contract is in force. Each additional Purchase Payment must be at least $1,000. We may limit the amount of any single Purchase Payment. You must obtain our consent before making a Purchase Payment that will bring the aggregate additional Purchase Payments or aggregate Purchase Payments over the Maximum Purchase Payment amounts shown in the Contract Specifications.

Purchase Payments are payable in U.S. dollars either at our Service Center or through our agent. Checks should be made payable to Pacific Life Insurance Company. If you make Purchase Payments by check other than a cashier’s check, withdrawal payments and any refund under the Right to Cancel provision may be delayed until your check has cleared. On request, a receipt for the Purchase Payment signed by an officer of the Company will be provided after payment.

Purchase Payment Allocation – You may allocate all or part of your Purchase Payments to one or more of the Investment Options available under this Contract. The Investment Options available on the Contract Date are shown in the Contract Specifications. The following conditions apply:

• At least 80% of the Initial Purchase Payment must be allocated to the FAO.

• No more than 20% of the Initial Purchase Payment may be made to the Variable Investment Options.

• Subsequent Purchase Payments will be allocated at the same percentage to the investment options as the Initial Purchase Payment, unless otherwise instructed. However, any subsequent Purchase Payment is subject to the first two conditions listed above.

Subject the above conditions, you may change the Purchase Payment allocation by providing us with instructions in a form satisfactory to us. We will allocate any Purchase Payment according to your most recent allocation instructions. We may reject any instruction or Purchase Payment if your instructions are not clear or we cannot determine your allocation instructions.

Allocations During the Right to Cancel Period – We will allocate the Initial Purchase Payment in accordance with your most recent allocation instructions.

Minimum Investment Option Value – We reserve the right to require that, as a result of any allocation to an Investment Option, any transfer, or any withdrawal, the remaining Account Value in any Investment Option must be at least $1,000.

We also reserve the right to transfer any remaining Account Value that does not meet such minimum amount to your other Investment Options on a pro rata basis relative to your most recent allocation instructions for those Investment Options.

ICC09:10-1169

9

FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS

Fixed Account Options (FAOs) – You must, before the Annuity Date and subject to the provisions of this section, allocate at least 80% of any Purchase Payment, amounts transferred from other Investment Options, or a rollover, to the FAO, while the Annuitant is living and the Contract is in force.

Amounts allocated to the FAO are held in our General Account. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of our General Account assets.

Minimum Allocation Amount – The minimum amount that may be allocated to a FAO is as shown in the Contract Specifications.

Crediting Interest – The FAO will be credited interest by applying the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate (MGIR) and the Index-Linked Interest Rate (ILIR), if applicable, to the FAO Value. The interest rate applied will depend on a number of factors, including the purpose for calculating the interest rate, the date it is calculated, and the general performance of the index used to calculate the ILIR.

We will stop crediting interest on that portion of the FAO Value that is transferred, withdrawn or applied to provide an annuity, including any:

• withdrawal charges; and,

• charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes.

We will do so as of the end of the Business Day any such transaction is effective.

Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate (MGIR) – The MGIR is shown in the Contract Specifications. Interest will be credited daily at a rate which compounds over one year to the annualized effective rate for the MGIR.

Index-Linked Interest Rate – On certain days, we will determine if the amounts allocated to a FAO are eligible to be credited with Index-Linked Interest (ILI). Usually a date when this rate will be calculated will be the day an event that requires the FAO Value to be determined. The following are dates that these calculations would normally be done:

• each Contract Anniversary;

• any day that the FAO Value must be calculated in order to pay or determine a death benefit;

• any day that the FAO Value will be applied to an annuity option provided by us; and,

• any other day as determined by us or if required by law.

The formula for calculating ILI is as follows:

Step One – Determine Index Return

Index Return = (Ending Index Value** – Starting Index Value*) / Starting Index Value

If the Index Return is less than or equal to the Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate, then no ILI will be paid.

Step Two – Adjust Index Return

Adjusted Index Return = Lesser of Index Return or Maximum Total Interest Rate

Step Three – Determine Index-Linked Interest

Index-Linked Interest = (Net FAO Value*** X Pro-rata Factor X Adjusted Index Return) minus GMIR credited during the contract year, where:

• Net FAO Value equals FAO Value on the prior Contract Anniversary minus withdrawals during the contract year

ICC09:10-1169

10

• Pro-rata Factor equals 1, unless there is a subsequent payment, a death benefit is payable or the contract is annuitized.  If there is a subsequent payment, a death benefit is payable, or the contract is annuitized, the Pro-rata Factor is equal to the number of days invested during the contract year divided by 365

• Adjusted Index Return, as determined in Step Two.

*	Starting Index Value for Purchase Payments made in the first Contract Year is the Index Value on the day each Purchase Payment was received.  After the first Contract Year, the Starting Index Value is the prior Contract’s Years’ Ending Index Value.
**	The Ending Index Value on the Contract Anniversary is the Index Value as of the end of the last business day of the Contract Year. In the event of death, the Ending Index Value is the Index Value at the market close on the Business Day prior to the date that the death claim is received in good order.  In the event of annuitization, the Ending Index Value is the Index Value at the market close on the Business Day prior to the Annuity Start Date.
***	On the first Contract Anniversary, ILI will be determined using Purchase Payment amount less withdrawals instead of Net FAO Value. If there are subsequent Purchase Payments in the first Contract Year, the formula will be applied against each subsequent Purchase Payment separately and withdrawals will be deducted from Purchase Payments on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

ICC09:10-1169

VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Variable Investment Options – The Variable Investment Options consist of Subaccounts of the Separate Account. The available Subaccounts as of the Contract Date are shown in the Contract Specifications.

Separate Account – We established the Separate Account under the laws of the state of California. The Separate Account is maintained under the laws of our state of domicile. Any income, gains or losses (whether or not realized) from the assets of each Variable Account are credited or charged against such Variable Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses. Assets may be put in our Separate Account to support this Contract and other variable annuity contracts. Assets may be put in our Separate Account for other purposes, but not to support contracts other than variable annuity contracts. The assets of our Separate Account are our property. The portion of the Separate Account assets equal to the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to each Variable Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct. We may transfer assets of a separate account in excess of the reserves and other liabilities with respect to its Variable Accounts to another separate account or to our General Account. All obligations arising under the Contract are our general corporate obligations. We do not hold ourselves out to be trustees of the Separate Account assets.

We reserve the right, subject to compliance with the law then in effect, and after any required regulatory approval, to:

• cease offering any Subaccount;

• add or change designated investment companies or their portfolios, or other investment vehicles;

• add, delete or make substitutions for the securities and other assets that are held or purchased by the Separate Account or any Variable Account;

• permit conversion or exchanges between portfolios and/or classes of contracts on the basis of Owners’ requests;

• add, remove or combine Variable Accounts;

• combine the assets of any Variable Account with any of our other Separate Accounts or of any of our affiliates;

• register or deregister Separate Account A or any Variable Account under the 1940 Act;

• operate any Variable Account as a managed investment company under the 1940 Act, or any other form permitted by law;

• run any Variable Account under the direction of a committee, board, or other group;

• restrict or eliminate any voting rights of Owners with respect to any Variable Account or other persons who have voting rights as to any Variable Account;

• make any changes required by the 1940 Act or other federal securities laws;

• make any changes necessary to maintain the status of the Contracts as annuities under the Code;

• make other changes required under federal or state law relating to annuities;

• suspend or discontinue sale of the Contracts; and

• comply with applicable law.

If any of these changes result in a material change in the underlying investments of a Variable Account, we will notify you of such change.

We will not change the investment policy of the Separate Account without following the filing and other procedures of the insurance supervisory official of our state of domicile and the filing and other procedures established by insurance regulators of the state of delivery. Unless required by law or regulation, an investment policy may not be changed without our consent.

From time to time we may make other Investment Options available to you. Any new Investment Option may invest in portfolios of the designated investment company, other designated investment companies or their portfolios, or in other investment vehicles. New Investment Options will be made available to existing Owners at our discretion. We will provide you with written notice of all material details, including investment objectives and charges. We will comply with the filing or other procedures established by applicable state insurance regulators, to the extent required by applicable law.

CONTRACT VALUES

Contract Value – The Contract Value on any Business Day is the sum of:

• the FAO Value; plus

• the Variable Account Value.

We generally determine values on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open, provided our administrative offices are also open on that day.

FAO Value – The FAO Value on any day is the FAO Value as of the prior day, increased by any additions to the FAOs on that day as a result of any:

• interest;

• Purchase Payments received by us and allocated the FAO; and

• transfers allocated to the FAO;

and decreased by any deductions from the FAOs on that day as a result of any:

• transfers from the FAO;

• withdrawals, including any applicable withdrawal charges;

• annual charges for expenses relating to any optional benefit riders attached to the Contract; and

• charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes.

Variable Account Value – The Variable Account Value on any Business Day is the sum of the Subaccount Values on that day.

Subaccount Value – Each Subaccount Value on any Business Day is equal to the number of Subaccount Units in that Subaccount multiplied by the Unit Value of the Subaccount on that day.

We credit the Subaccount with Subaccount Units as a result of any:

• Purchase Payments received by us and allocated to that Subaccount;

• transfers to that Subaccount; and

• additional amounts allocated to that Subaccount.

We debit the Subaccount with Subaccount Units as a result of any:

• transfers from that Subaccount;

• withdrawals, including any applicable withdrawal charges;

• annual charges for expenses relating to any optional benefit riders attached to the Contract; and

• charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes.

The number of Subaccount Units we credit to, or debit from, a Subaccount in connection with a transaction is equal to the amount of the transaction applicable to that Subaccount divided by that Subaccount’s Unit Value at the end of the valuation period that includes that day. The number of Subaccount Units in a Subaccount will change only if we credit or debit Subaccount Units for the transactions specified above. The number of Subaccount Units will not change because of subsequent changes in the Subaccount Unit Value.

ICC09:10-1169

13

Subaccount Unit Value – The initial Unit Value of each Subaccount was $10 on the Business Day the Subaccount began operations. At the end of each subsequent Business Day, the Unit Value for each Subaccount is equal to (Y) times (Z), where:

(Y)	is the Unit Value for that Subaccount as of the end of the prior Business Day; and
(Z)	is the Net Investment Factor for that Subaccount for the period (a “valuation period”) between the prior Business Day and that Business Day.

Net Investment Factor – Each Subaccount’s Net Investment Factor for any valuation period is equal to (A / B) – C, where:

(A)	equals:
(a)	the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio shares held by the Subaccount as of the end of that valuation period; plus
(b)	the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made during that valuation period on the portfolio shares held by the Subaccount; plus or minus
(c)	any per share charge or credit for any income taxes, other taxes, or amounts set aside during that valuation period as a reserve for any income and/or any other taxes for which we determine to have resulted from the operations of the Subaccount or Contract, and/or any taxes attributable, directly or indirectly, to Purchase Payments;
(B)	is the net asset value per share of the portfolio shares held by the Subaccount as of the end of the prior valuation period; and
(C)	is a factor that we assess against the Subaccount’s net assets held by each Subaccount for the mortality and expense risk charge during that valuation period.

ICC09:10-1169

14

CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS

Administrative Fee – We charge an administrative fee against the assets held in the Variable Investment Option(s). This fee is assessed daily at the annual rate which is shown in the Contract Specifications. This fee is guaranteed not to increase.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (“Risk Charge”) – We impose a Risk Charge against the assets held in the Variable Investment Option(s). This charge is assessed daily at the annual rate which is shown in the Contract Specifications. The Risk Charge compensates us for the risks we assume that mortality and expenses will vary from those we assumed. This charge is guaranteed not to increase.

Premium Taxes – From the Contract Value, we will deduct a charge for any taxes we pay that are attributable to Purchase Payments or withdrawals. Such taxes may include, but are not limited to: any federal, state or local premium or retaliatory taxes; and any federal, state or local income, excise, business or any other type of tax (or component thereof), measured by or based upon, directly or indirectly, the amount of Purchase Payments we receive from you. We will normally deduct this charge upon annuitization. However, we may impose this charge on any withdrawal, at the time any death benefit is paid, when the taxes are incurred or when we pay the taxes. We will base this charge on the Contract Value, the amount of the transaction, the aggregate amount of Purchase Payments we receive under the Contract; or any other amount that, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriately reimburses us for premium taxes paid on this Contract.

Other Taxes – We reserve the right to charge the Separate Account and/or deduct from the Contract Value a charge for any federal, state or local taxes we pay that are or become attributable to the Separate Account or Contract, including, but not limited to, income taxes attributable to our operation of the Separate Account or to our operations with respect to the Contract, or taxes attributable, directly or indirectly, to Purchase Payments or payments we make under this Contract.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“Withdrawal Charge”) – Withdrawals from the Contract Value are subject to a withdrawal charge which is shown in the Contract Specifications. This charge may apply to amounts withdrawn under the Contract prior to the Annuity Date, depending on which Contract Year the withdrawal is made in.

We will not apply the withdrawal charge on:

• distributions resulting from the death of the first Owner or the sole surviving Annuitant before the Annuity Date, except as provided under the Death of Owner provision for certain Non-Natural Owners;

• after the first Contract Year, if the Contract Values is applied to provide an annuity option from us;

• withdrawals after 90 days from the Contract Date if the Owner or Annuitant has been confined to an accredited nursing home for 60 days, and was not confined to the nursing home on the Contract Date;

• withdrawals to meet required minimum distributions for Qualified Contracts as they apply to amounts held under the Contract;

• withdrawals after the first Contract Anniversary, if the Owner or Annuitant has been diagnosed as having a medically determinable condition that results in a life expectancy of twelve (12) months or less and we are provided with medical evidence satisfactory to us; or

• withdrawals as defined under the “Free Withdrawals” section below.

ICC09:10-1169

15

Amount of Withdrawal Charge – The amount of a withdrawal charge depends on which Contract Year the withdrawal is taken in. The withdrawal charge percentage, as shown in the Contract Specifications for the applicable Contract Year, will be applied to the amount withdrawn. Adjustments may be made for any amounts eligible to be considered under the Free Withdrawals provision for that Contract Year.

The withdrawal charge will be deducted proportionately from each Investment Option selected for withdrawal, unless otherwise requested and agreed upon by us.

Free Withdrawals – During the first Contract Year, you may withdraw free of withdrawal charges amounts up to 10% of the Purchase Payments, less previous withdrawals. During the second through sixth Contract Years, you may withdraw 10% of the Contract Value as of the prior Contract Anniversary, less any withdrawals taken during the current Contract Year, free of withdrawal charges. There are no withdrawal charges beyond the sixth Contract Year.

The amount available for free withdrawal is not cumulative. Any amount eligible for free withdrawal in a Contract Year that is no taken may not be carried over and be available to be taken free of the withdrawal charge in a later Contract Year.

ICC09:10-1169

16

TRANSFER PROVISIONS

Transfers – You may, on or before the Annuity Date and subject to the requirements, limitations and restrictions described in this section, transfer the Account Value in any Investment Option among other Variable Investment Options, while the Annuitant is living and the Contract is in force.

Transfers Between a Variable Investment Option and the Fixed Account Option - Transfers between a Variable Investment Option and the FAO must take place on a Contract Anniversary. The following conditions also apply to these transfers:

(a)	A transfer from the FAO to a Variable Investment Option can not result in the remaining FAO Value being less than 80% of the Contract Value.
(b)	The entire amount of the Variable Account Value may be transferred to the FAO.
(c)	In order to request a transfer between the FAO and a Variable Account Option, you must tell us the allocation percentages for each option and your instructions must adhere to the 80% minimum Fixed Account allocation rules.

A rebalance will automatically occur on your Contract Anniversary according to your allocation instructions, subject to the 80% Fixed Account allocation rule, unless you instruct us otherwise. If you choose not to do automatic rebalancing and elect rebalancing on a later date, the rebalance request must be received, in a form satisfactory to us, at our Service Center by the Contract Anniversary, or before the end of business on the last Business Day prior to Contract Anniversary if the Contract Anniversary is not a Business Day.

Transfers between the Variable Investment Options and the FAO will normally be effective on the Contract Anniversary, provided the transfer request, in a form satisfactory to us, is received at our Service Center by the Contract Anniversary, or before the end of business on the last Business Day prior to Contract Anniversary if the Contract Anniversary is not a Business Day.

Transfers Among the Variable Investment Options – You may transfer all or part of the Variable Account Value in any Variable Investment Option among other Variable Investment Options. Your transfer request must specify:

(a)	the Investment Option (the “source account”) from which the transfer is to be made. You may choose one or more Investment Options as your source account(s). Your source account may not also be a target account;
(b)	the amount of the transfer. If you select more than one source account, the amount of the transfer from each source account must be at least the lesser of $250 or the full source Account Value; and
(c)	the Investment Option (the “target account”) to receive the transferred amount. You may choose one or more Investment Options as your target account(s). If you select more than one target account, your request must specify how the transferred amounts are to be allocated among the target accounts. Your source account may not also be a target account.

Transfers among Variable Investment Options will normally be effective as of the end of the Business Day the transfer request, in a form satisfactory to us, is received at our Service Center.

Transfer Limitations and Restrictions – The following limitations and restrictions apply to transfers among Variable Investment Options:

(a)

Transfers are allowed thirty (30) days after the Contract Date.

(b)

Transfers are limited to twenty-five (25) transfers during each Calendar Year and only two (2) per month, into or out, that affect any international Investment Options. For the purpose of applying this limitation, transfers that occur on the same day are considered one transfer and transfers that occur as a result of any systematic transfer option are excluded from the maximum twenty-five (25) transfers per Calendar Year limitation.

ICC09:10-1169

17

(c)	Transfers to or from an Investment Option cannot be made until the eighth (8th) calendar day (provided that day is a Business Day) from the last day of the most recent transfer to or from that Investment Option. The day of the most recent transfer is considered as the first (1st) calendar day for purposes of meeting this requirement. Transfers that occur as a result of any systematic transfer option are excluded from this requirement.
(d)	If a transfer reduces the remaining Account Value in any Investment Option immediately after such transfer to an amount less than $1,000, we reserve the right to transfer such remaining Account Value to your other Investment Options on a pro rata basis relative to your most recent allocation instructions.
(e)	We further reserve the right to restrict, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, transfers initiated by a market timing organization or individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions on behalf of multiple Contract Owners. Such restrictions could include:

(i)	not accepting transfer instructions from an individual or entity acting on behalf of more than one Contract Owner; and
(ii)	not accepting preauthorized transfer forms from market timers or other entities acting on behalf of more than one Contract Owner at a time.

(f) We further reserve the right to modify the limits described in subparagraphs (a) through (e) above or to impose, without prior notice, other limitations and restrictions on transfers or exchanges that we determine, in our sole discretion, will disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other Contract Owners or to comply with any applicable federal or state laws, rules and regulations.

ICC09:10-1169

18

WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

Withdrawals – You may, on or before the Annuity Date and subject to the requirements, limitations and restrictions described in this section, withdraw all or a portion of the amount available under this Contract, while the Annuitant is living and the Contract is in force. However, no withdrawals are allowed within thirty (30) days of the Contract Date.

You may specify that the withdrawal be taken from a specific Variable Investment Option(s) or pro rata from all Investment Options. If your request does not specify the Variable Investment Option(s) from which the withdrawal is to be made, the withdrawal will be taken pro rata from all Investment Options relative to the Account Value in each option.

Withdrawals will normally be effective as of the end of the Business Day the withdrawal request, in a form satisfactory to us, is received at our Service Center.

Withdrawals from the Fixed Account Option will be considered to be taken on a first-in, first-out basis for purpose of determining and crediting interest. The earlier Purchase Payments and associated earnings are deducted first.

Minimum Withdrawal Amount – The minimum amount that may be withdrawn is $500. If the withdrawal reduces the Account Value in any Investment Option to an amount less than $1,000, we reserve the right to transfer such remaining Account Value to your other Investment Options on a pro rata basis relative to your most recent allocation instructions.

If the withdrawal reduces the Contract Value to an amount less than $1,000, we may terminate this Contract and pay you the withdrawal proceeds (see Amount Available for Withdrawal provision). Payment of the withdrawal proceeds will end this Contract and we will have no further obligations under the Contract.

Amount Available for Withdrawal – The amount available for withdrawal is the Contract Value as of the end of the Business Day on which the withdrawal request is effective, less any:

• withdrawal charge;

• charges for expenses relating to any optional riders attached to the Contract; and

• charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes.

The amount we send you (the “withdrawal proceeds”) will also reflect any required or requested federal and/or state income tax withholding.

Termination of Contract – You may, on or before the Annuity Date, terminate this Contract for its withdrawal proceeds, while the Annuitant is living and the Contract is in force. We will require the return of this Contract or a signed Lost Contract Affidavit with your request. The withdrawal proceeds will be determined under the Amount Available for Withdrawal provision.

Your request to terminate the Contract will normally be effective as of the end of the Business Day such request, in a form satisfactory to us, is received at our Service Center. Payment of the withdrawal proceeds will end this Contract and we will have no further obligations under the Contract.

ICC09:10-1169

19

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS

Death Benefit – A death benefit will be payable only if the sole surviving Annuitant or any Owner dies before the Annuity Date and while this Contract is in force.

The proceeds of any death benefit will be payable upon receipt of, in a form satisfactory to us, proof of death and instructions regarding payment of the death benefit proceeds (the “Notice Date”). Such proceeds will equal the Death Benefit Amount reduced by any charges for premium taxes and/or other taxes, if proceeds are used to purchase on Annuity Option from us.

These proceeds may be payable in a lump sum, as periodic payments under an Annuity Option available under this Contract, towards the purchase of any other Annuity Option we then offer, or in accordance with the Code (see Death of Owner Distribution Rules).

If there are multiple Beneficiaries, the Death Benefit Amount will be calculated when we first receive proof of death and instructions, in proper form, from any Beneficiary. Any Death Benefit Amount still remaining to be paid to any other Beneficiary will fluctuate with the performance of the underlying Investment Options.

Death Benefit Amount – The Death Benefit Amount as of any Business Day prior to the Annuity Date is equal to the greater of:

(a)	the Contract Value including any pro-rata Index-Linked Interest, as of that day; or
(b)	the aggregate Purchase Payments reduced by an amount for each withdrawal that has occurred, which is calculated by multiplying the aggregate Purchase Payments received prior to each withdrawal by the ratio of the amount of the withdrawal, including any withdrawal charge to the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal.

Death of Annuitant – If the Annuitant dies before the Owner and before the Annuity Date, the death benefit proceeds will be equal to the Death Benefit Amount as of the Notice Date. Unless there is a surviving Joint Annuitant or Contingent Annuitant, we will pay the death benefit proceeds to the first person among the following who is (1) living; or (2) an entity designated to receive the death benefit proceeds; following the death of the sole surviving Annuitant:

(a)	the Owner;
(b)	the Joint Owner;
(c)	the Beneficiary;
(d)	the Contingent Beneficiary; or
(e)	the Owner’s estate.

If an Annuitant dies and there is a surviving Joint Annuitant, the surviving Joint Annuitant becomes the Annuitant. If there is no surviving Joint Annuitant and there is a Contingent Annuitant, the Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant. No death benefit will be paid, except as otherwise provided under the Death Benefit provision.

If you are the Annuitant and you die, we will determine the amount of any death benefit and to whom it will be paid under this Death of Annuitant provision. If the Contract is issued as a Non-Qualified Contract, we will distribute any death benefit proceeds under the Death of Owner Distribution Rules provision.

ICC09:10-1169

20

Death of Owner – If you are not the Annuitant and you die before the Annuitant and before the Annuity Date, the death benefit proceeds will be equal to the Death Benefit Amount as of the Notice Date.

If you die while the Annuitant is living and prior to the Annuity Date, we will pay the death benefit proceeds to the first among the following who is (1) living; or (2) an entity designated to receive the death benefit proceeds:

(a)	the Joint Owner;
(b)	the Beneficiary;
(c)	the Contingent Beneficiary; or
(d)	the Owner’s estate.

If you are a Non-Natural Owner of a Contract other than a Contract issued under a Qualified Plan as defined in Section 401 or 403 of the Code, the Primary Annuitant will be treated as the Owner of the Contract for purposes of the Death of Owner Distribution Rules.

Death of Owner Distribution Rules – The following rules will determine when a distribution must be made under this Contract. These rules do not affect our determination of the amount of death benefit proceeds payable or distribution proceeds. If there is more than one Owner, these rules apply on the date on which the first of these Joint Owners die.

If the Owner dies before the Annuity Date, the designated recipient of the death benefit proceeds may elect to receive the death benefit proceeds:

• in a lump sum payment;

• within five (5) years following the Owner’s death; or

• in the form of an annuity for life or over a period that does not exceed the life expectancy of the designated recipient, with annuity payments that start within one (1) year after the Owner’s death.

Unless otherwise required by law, an election to receive an annuity (in lieu of a lump sum payment) must be made within such time frames as we may prescribe from time to time, or the lump sum payment option will be deemed elected. We will consider that deemed election as our receipt of instructions regarding payment of the death benefit proceeds.

The Owner may designate that the Beneficiary is to receive the death benefit proceeds either through an annuity for life or over a period that does not exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. Such designation must be made in writing in a form acceptable to us, and may only be revoked by the Owner in writing in a form acceptable to us. Upon death of the Owner, the Beneficiary cannot revoke or modify any designation made by the Owner on how the death benefit proceeds are to be paid.

If the spouse of the deceased Owner is the sole surviving Beneficiary, or is the sole surviving Joint Owner, and has an unrestricted right to receive the death benefit proceeds in a lump sum, the spouse may continue this Contract as Owner rather than receive the death benefit proceeds, provided that we receive instructions to continue the Contract within such time frames as we may prescribe from time to time.

On the Notice Date, if the surviving spouse is deemed to have continued the Contract, we will set the Contract Value equal to the death benefit proceeds, less pro-rata Index-Linked Interest, that would have been payable to the spouse as the deemed Beneficiary/designated recipient of the death benefit. The amount that the Death Benefit Amount, less pro-rata Index-Linked Interest, exceeds the Contract Value will be added to the Contract Value in the form of the Add-In Amount on the Notice Date. The Add-In Amount will be allocated among Investment Options in accordance with the current allocation instructions for the Contract and will be considered earnings. There will not be an adjustment to the Contract Value if the Contract Value is equal to the death benefit proceeds, less pro-rata Indexed-Linked Interest, as of the Notice Date. If the Contract is continued by the spouse, it will be credited with Index-Linked Interest on subsequent Contract Anniversaries as if the Owner’s death had not occurred.

ICC09:10-1169

21

If the Owner dies on or after the Annuity Date, but payments have not yet been completed, then distributions of the remaining amounts payable under this Contract must be made at least as rapidly as the rate that was being used at the date of the Owner’s death. All of the Owner’s rights granted by the Contract will be assumed by the first person among the following who is (1) living; or (2) an entity or corporation entitled to assume the Owner’s rights granted by the contract:

(a)	the Joint Owner;
(b)	the Beneficiary; or
(c)	the Contingent Beneficiary.

If none are living (or if there is no entity or corporation entitled to assume the Owner’s rights granted by the Contract), all of the Owner’s rights granted by the Contract will be assumed by the Owner’s estate.

This Contract incorporates all applicable provisions of Code Section 72(s) and any successor provision, as deemed necessary by us to qualify this Contract as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, including the requirement that, if the Owner dies before the Annuity Date, any death benefit proceeds under this Contract shall be distributed within five (5) years of the Owner’s death (or such other period that we offer and that is permitted under the Code or such shorter period as we may require).

These Death of Owner Distribution Rules do not apply to Qualified Contracts issued under Qualified Plans as defined in Section 401, 403, 408 or 408A of the Code or to an annuity that is a qualified funding asset as defined in Code Section 130(d) (but without regard to whether there is a qualified assignment).

ICC09:10-1169

22

BENEFICIARY PROVISIONS

Designation of Beneficiary – The Beneficiary is the person you name who may receive the Death Benefit Amount, or any remaining annuity payments after the Annuity Date, if the Annuitant or Owner dies. If you leave no surviving Beneficiary, your estate may receive the death benefit proceeds. If the Beneficiary is a trustee, we will neither be responsible for verifying a trustee’s right to receive any Death Benefit Amount, nor for how the trustee disposes of any Death Benefit Amount. If before payment of any Death Benefit Amount, we receive proper notice that the trust has been revoked or is not in effect, then any Death Benefit Amount payable will be paid to the Contingent Beneficiary, if living; if not to the Owner’s estate.

Adding or Changing Your Beneficiary – You may add, change, or remove any Beneficiary subject to the terms of any assignment, at any time prior to the death of the Annuitant or Owner, by providing us with a written request in a form satisfactory to us. Qualified Contracts may have additional restrictions on naming and changing Beneficiaries. Any change or addition will take effect on the date the notice of change is signed by the Owner, subject to any payments made or actions taken by us prior to receipt of the notice.

ICC09:10-1169

23

ANNUITY PROVISIONS

Date Annuity Payments Begin – Annuity payments will begin on the Annuity Date, if the Annuitant is living and the Contract has not been terminated. Once annuity payments begin, no changes can be made to the Annuity Option and no further withdrawals will be allowed.

Default Annuity Date and Annuity Option – If you did not choose an Annuity Date when you submitted your application for this Contract, the Annuity Date will be the Annuitant’s 95^th birthday. If there are Joint Annuitants, the Annuity Date will be based on the younger Annuitant’s birthday, unless otherwise required by law.

For all Non-Qualified Contracts and those Qualified Contracts where you are not married, the Annuity Option will be Life with 10 Year Period Certain. If this is a Qualified Contract and you are married, the Annuity Option will be Joint and Survivor Life, with survivor payments of 50%, and your spouse will automatically be named as the secondary Annuitant.

Change of Annuity Date and Annuity Option – You may change the Annuity Date and/or Annuity Option by providing proper notice to us at least ten (10) days prior to the current Annuity Date or new Annuity Date, whichever is earlier.

The Annuity Date may not be earlier than the first Contract Anniversary and must occur on or before the day the younger Annuitant reaches his or her 95^th birthday, or earlier as required by state law or the Code.

Prior to the Annuity Date, the Annuity Option in effect may be changed to any other Annuity Option contained in this Contract or allowed by us, subject to any state law or the Code.

If this is a Qualified Contract, additional restrictions under your Qualified Plan may apply. You should consult with your Qualified Plan administrator before making your selection.

Application of Contract Value – On the Annuity Date, unless directed otherwise, we will apply the Contract Value plus pro-rata Index-Linked Interest, less any applicable premium taxes, to provide fixed annuity payments under the Annuity Option selected. This Contract does not provide for a variable annuity payments option.

Annuity benefits will not be less than those that would have been provided by the application of an amount to purchase any single consideration immediate annuity offered by us at the time annuity payments commence to the same class of annuitants.

Minimum Amount – The minimum amount that may be applied to provide annuity payments is $5,000. You may elect to have annuity payments made monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. Regardless of the frequency of payments, the minimum annuity payment that you may elect to receive is $240. We reserve the right to reduce the frequency of payments or the period certain if the initial annuity payment is less than $240.

Conversion to Current Rates – Annuity payments will be based on the greater of:

• our current income factors in effect for this Contract; or

• our guaranteed income factors.

The dollar amount of any payments after the first annuity payment is specified during the annuity payment period according to the provisions of the elected Annuity Option.

ICC09:10-1169

24
