RIDER DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Rider, the following definitions apply.

BUFFER

The Buffer provides limited protection from a negative Change in Index Value up to the Buffer Rate referenced on the RIDER DATA PAGE. You will incur a loss if negative Index performance exceeds the Buffer Rate applicable to the Strategy Account Option on the Term End Date. Your negative Index performance will equal the negative Index performance in excess of the Buffer Rate. You will only incur a loss if the negative Index performance exceeds the Buffer Rate. The Buffer Rate for a Strategy Account Option is guaranteed not to change for the life of the Contract so long as We continue to offer the Strategy Account Option.

INDEX CREDIT

The Index Credit is the amount of Index interest credited to a Strategy Account Option(s) on the Term End Date. The Index Credit may be positive, negative, or zero. The Index Credit Rate is a factor used in the calculation of the Index Credit for each Strategy Account Option(s) shown on the RIDER DATA PAGE.

INDEX VALUE

The Index Value is the value of the Index that is published by the Index provider at the close of each Business Day. The Index Value on any day that is not a Business Day is the value of the Index at the end of the previous Business Day. The Index Value(s) as of the Contract Date for all referenced indices are as shown on the RIDER DATA PAGE.

PARTICIPATION RATE

The Participation Rate is the percentage used as part of the calculation of the Index Credit Rate if the Change in Index Value is positive on the Term End Date for a Strategy Account Option(s). We may declare new Participation Rates that will apply to the renewal of each Strategy Account Option after the initial Term. Renewal Participation Rates may be higher or lower than the Initial Participation Rate but will never be lower than the corresponding Minimum Participation Rate shown on the RIDER DATA PAGE.

RIDER PROVISIONS

On each Term End Date, the Index Credit, if any, will be credited to each Strategy Account Option to which You allocate Your Contract Value. The Index Credit is calculated based in part on the Index Value on the Term End Date compared to the Term Start Date of the same Index. Index Credit will vary from Term to Term and will depend upon the Participation Rate, Buffer Rate, and changes in the Index Values.

CALCULATION OF CHANGE IN INDEX VALUE

On each Term End Date, We will calculate the Change in Index Value of each Strategy Account Option by comparing the Index Value on the Term End Date to the Index Value on the Term Start Date. On each Term End Date, the Change in Index Value equals:

CALCULATION OF INDEX CREDIT RATE

The Change in Index Value will then be adjusted by the Participation Rate and/or Buffer Rate, if applicable, to determine the Index Credit Rate used to calculate Index Credit for each Strategy Account Option for that Term.

If the calculated Change in Index Value is positive or zero, Your Index Credit Rate equals the Change in Index Value multiplied by the Participation Rate.

If the calculated Change in Index Value is negative, Your Index Credit Rate equals the lesser of zero or the Change in Index Value plus the Buffer Rate.

CALCULATION OF INDEX CREDIT

Index Credit on the Term End Date equals the Strategy Base as of the day prior to the Term End Date multiplied by the Index Credit Rate.

CALCULATION OF THE OPTION UNIT VALUE

The Option Unit Value is used to calculate the Interim Value as described in the Contract.

The Option Unit Value of this Rider is equal to (a) – (b), where:

(a) = At-the-Money Binary Call Option x Participation Rate

(b) = Out-of-the-Money Put Option

The valuation of the options above is based on the Black-Scholes Framework.

TERMINATION

The Rider will terminate on the earlier of the following:
