Guarantee or the minimum Account Value as shown on the Data Pages, and provided all other contractual terms are satisfied, we guarantee to make payments in the form of Guaranteed Income equal to your Withdrawal Guarantee. A Base Income is also available. Payments will be made in accordance with the Income Plan shown on the Data Pages.

2.2

Certain persons or entities have important roles in this Certificate.

2.2.1

The Contract Owner is shown on the Data Pages. The Contract Owner is the entity that is responsible for managing the asset allocation model(s) and administering the Account on your behalf. This responsibility includes obtaining your income election, if any, by the maximum annuity age as shown on the Data Pages. The Contract Owner is responsible for delivering to us your fees assessed under this Certificate, as well as any Premium.

2.2.2

The Certificate Owner(s) is you, the person or entity named on the Data Pages who owns the assets of the Account and may surrender this Certificate. All ownership rights with respect to this Certificate shall belong to you, or your named Beneficiary as may be designated under the terms of this Certificate or determined through the operation of law. If the Certificate Owner(s) is an individual, he or she must be a named Participant on the Certificate Date. The individual(s) you designated as a named Participant(s) is shown on the Data Pages.

2.2.4

During the payout phase, upon the death of the last surviving Participant, the Beneficiary receives any remaining income.

2.2.5

If a trust is named as the Certificate Owner(s) or Beneficiary and subsequently exercises ownership rights or claims benefits, we have no obligation to verify that a trust is valid and in effect. We will have no obligation to verify that the trustee is acting within the scope of his or her authority. Payment of any benefits to the trustee or trust will release us from all obligations under this Certificate to the extent of the payment. When we make a payment, we will have no obligation to ensure that such payment is applied according to the terms of the trust agreement.

2.3

The Withdrawal Guarantee is established on the Certificate Date and is adjusted according to the terms of this Certificate. At all times the Account Value must be allocated to one or more asset allocation model(s) as shown on the Data Pages. The Contract Owner has determined the asset allocation model(s) permitted. You are required to conduct all trading activity for your Account through a broker-dealer or registered investment adviser approved by the Contract Owner. An allocation of the Account by you inconsistent with the asset allocation model(s) shown on the Data Pages will result in suspension and may result in the termination as described in the General Provisions under Suspension and Termination.

2.4

Withdrawals covered by the Withdrawal Guarantee may begin on or after the younger of the Participant or any Joint Participant reaches the withdrawal age as shown on the Data Pages. The Withdrawal Guarantee may be reduced if any Withdrawals are taken prior to that date. The Withdrawal Guarantee may be reduced on or after the Withdrawal Exercise Date if any Withdrawals in a Withdrawal Year exceed the Withdrawal Guarantee.

2.5

You will be charged an asset charge as stated in the Data Pages. Failure to pay the asset charge will be deemed an election to terminate the Certificate. You may elect to terminate the Certificate at any time without additional charge.

2.6

Funding Phase. The funding phase starts on the Certificate Date. During the funding phase you may contribute to the Account to accumulate assets for retirement or other purposes. The Contract Owner is responsible for managing the Account. The Account must be managed using the asset allocation model(s) shown in the Data Pages. You may take Withdrawals from the Account at any time as permitted by the Contract Owner. However, Withdrawals before the Participant or any younger Joint Participant reaches the withdrawal age as shown on the Data Pages, will reduce the Withdrawal Guarantee. On or after the withdrawal age as shown on the Data Pages, Withdrawals within Certificate limitations will not reduce the Withdrawal Guarantee.

2.7

Payout Phase. The payout phase begins as of the Annuity Date. You will authorize transfer of the Account Value to us and we will begin making annuity payments. We will continue to make payments while any Participant is living. There are two annuity provisions. Guaranteed Income and Base Income. Only one provision may be elected. Guaranteed Income starts if the Account Value falls below the minimum Account Value as shown on the Data Pages or the Withdrawal Guarantee, or if the older of the Participant or any Joint Participant reaches the maximum annuity age shown on the Data Pages. You have the right at any time to elect a Base Income level by transferring the Account Value to us.

We reserve the right to terminate the Contract if any of the following events occur:

(a) the Contract Owner discontinues administration of the Contract without arranging for a successor to take over its responsibilities that is acceptable to us;

(b) the Contract Owner fails to cure the cause of a Contract suspension within the suspension cure period as shown on the Data Pages; or

(c) there is a violation of any material rights or obligations imposed by law as determined by governing regulatory and/or judicial bodies.

7.4.3

We will provide you with written notice that a Contract termination event has occurred. The notice will state the reason(s) for the termination and that we intend to terminate the Contract at the end of the Contract termination cure period as shown on the Data Pages. The termination will not take effect if the Contract Owner cures the cause. We will work with the Contract Owner to attempt to effect a mutually acceptable cure.

7.4.4

Once during the duration of your Certificate, if you transfer your Account Value to an allocation model offered by the Contract Owner but not listed on the Data Pages you will not have your Certificate terminated but instead suspended. We will notify you that the suspension has occurred and that it will last until the end of the suspension cure period shown on the Data Pages. During the suspension cure period, you may cure the suspension by transferring your Account Value to an allocation model shown on the Data Pages. Following such a transfer, the Withdrawal Guarantee will be recalculated on the day following the suspension cure period using the Account Value multiplied by the current Withdrawal Guarantee Factor for the Attained Age. This calculation will occur as of the Valuation Day following the end of the suspension cure period regardless of which day during the cure period you transfer your assets into an allowable allocation model. If you fail to transfer your Account Value to an allowable allocation model listed on the Data Pages, by the end of the suspension cure period, your Certificate will terminate.

7.4.5

If an Addition is made to your Account when your Account exceeds the Account Limit, or if an Addition causes your Account to exceed the Account Limit, your Certificate will be suspended. During the suspension cure period, in the case of an Account which was already over the Account Limit, you may cure the suspension by withdrawing the entire Addition. In the case of an Addition which caused the Account to exceed the Account Limit, you may cure the suspension by withdrawing the portion of the Account Value exceeding the Account Limit. In neither case will there be an Early or Excess Withdrawal. If the suspension cure period ends without such corrective action, your Certificate will remain suspended until the amount needed to cure the suspension is withdrawn from the Account. In this case, Early Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals apply. Until the suspension is lifted, asset charges will apply to the greater of the Account Limit and the Account Value prior to the Addition.

7.4.6

Your Certificate will terminate if any of the following events occur:

(a) A second occurrence of you transferring your Account Value to an allocation model not shown on the Data Pages;

(b) failure to pay the asset charge.

7.5

Income Tax Qualification

7.5.1

This Certificate is intended to qualify for tax treatment as an annuity contract under Section 72 of the Code. With respect to an Account other than a Qualified Account, if a Certificate Owner dies during the funding phase and the surviving spouse does not become the sole Certificate Owner, the Certificate will immediately terminate. Death of the Participant or Joint Participant will terminate the Certificate if the Certificate Owner is a non-natural person. This will satisfy the requirement in Section 72(s)(1)(B) of the Code that the entire interest of such holder in the contract be distributed within 5 years after death. If a Certificate Owner dies during the payout phase, Section 72(s) is satisfied by the Continuation of Income Payments provision and the Death Provisions included in the Certificate. The Certificate provisions will be interpreted to preserve the intended tax treatment. We reserve the right to amend this Certificate as needed to maintain its tax status under the Code. We will send you a copy of any amendment.

7.5.2

If the Account is a Qualified Account per the Qualified Accounts provision, this Certificate is intended to qualify for tax treatment under Section 401(g) of the Code.

For a Qualified Account, the Participant will be the individual for whose benefit the Account is maintained under the plan or arrangement. The Joint Participant, if any, of a Qualified Account must be the Participant’s spouse. If the Participant dies during the funding phase and the sole beneficiary of the Account is not the Joint Participant, the Certificate will terminate upon the Participant’s date of death. A former spouse may be a Joint Participant when required by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, as defined in Code section 414(p).

7.6.2

For any Qualified Account, the Certificate may not be sold, assigned, discounted or pledged to any person other than us. It cannot be used as collateral for a loan. It cannot be used as security for the performance of an obligation. It cannot be alienated for any other purpose.
