RILA287 12 CONTRACT OPTION PROVISIONS The Contract contains two (2) types of Contract Options: Fixed Account and Index Account. Upon Good Order, all Premium will be allocated to the Contract Options as elected on the application. The Company reserves the right to restrict or prohibit allocation of Premium to the Fixed Account at its discretion, on a non-discriminatory basis, at any time. No Premium will be accepted after the Issue Date. TRANSFERS. Transfers may only occur on the Contract Anniversary, when transferring out of the Fixed Account, and on the Index Account Option Term Anniversary when transferring out of an Index Account Option. When the Contract Anniversary or Index Account Option Term Anniversary occurs on a non-Business Day, the transfer will be effective on the following Business Day using the following Business Day's values. You will receive notice thirty (30) days prior to the Index Account Option Term Anniversary. The notice will include information on the Contract Options available to You. You may request a transfer to or from the Fixed Account and to or from the Index Account Options. You may also request transfers among the available Index Account Options within the Index Account. Transfers from an Index Account Option to the Fixed Account may incur an MVA. A request for a transfer must be received in Good Order prior to the Index Account Option Term Anniversary. If no transfer request is received on or prior to the Index Account Option Term Anniversary, the Fixed Account value will remain in the Fixed Account and the Index Account Option value(s) will be reallocated to the same Index Account Option(s) for the same term, Crediting Method and Index, if available. If the Crediting Method, or Index is no longer available as of the Index Account Option Term Anniversary, the Index Account Option value(s) will be reallocated to the Fixed Account, without being subject to an MVA, until further instruction is received. If You do not select an Index Account Option term within thirty (30) days prior to the end of the expired Index Account Option term: 1. if the same Index Account Option term is available at the time and does not extend beyond the Income Date, the Company will renew the Index Account Option into the same Index Account Option term. 2. if the same Index Account Option term is available at the time but extends beyond the Income Date, the Company will select the available Index Account Option term that ends closest to but before the Income Date. 3. if the same Index Account Option term is not available at the time but would not extend beyond the Income Date were it available, the Company will select the available Index Account Option term with the period closest to but less than the Index Account Option term that just ended. Unless specified otherwise, transfers will be taken from the Index Account Options and the Fixed Account in proportion to their current value. The Company reserves the right to restrict or prohibit transfers from the Index Account Option to the Fixed Account, at its discretion, on a nondiscriminatory basis, at any time.

 

RILA287 13 CONTRACT OPTION PROVISIONS (CONT'D) Transfers from a Fixed Account will reduce the Fixed Account value by the transfer amount requested. Transfers into a Fixed Account will increase the Fixed Account value by the transfer amount requested. Transfers from an Index Account Option will reduce the Index Account Option value by the transfer amount requested. Transfers into an Index Account Option will increase the Index Account Option value by the transfer amount requested. Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is an annually renewable fixed account. The Company will credit interest to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account. Such interest will be credited at such rate(s) as the Company prospectively declares on a periodic basis, at the sole discretion of the Company. On each Contract Anniversary the interest rate for the Fixed Account is subject to change. In no event will the interest rate credited by the Company to the Fixed Account be less than the FAMIR, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, per annum. Index Account Option. An option within the Index Account for allocation of Contract Value, defined by term, Index, and Crediting Method. The terms, Indexes, and Crediting Methods available as of the Issue Date are shown on the Supplemental Contract Data Pages. Availability of terms, Indexes, and Crediting Methods are subject to change at the sole discretion of the Company on a non-discriminatory basis. Fixed Account Value. The Fixed Account value is equal to (1) the value of Premium and any amounts transferred from the Index Account into the Fixed Account, adjusted for any applicable MVA; (2) plus interest credited daily at a rate not less than the FAMIR, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, per annum; (3) less any gross partial withdrawals; (4) less any amounts transferred out of the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Value will never be less than the FAMV. Index Account Value. The Index Account value is equal to the sum of the Index Account Option values. The Index Account Option value at the beginning of the Index Account Option term is equal to the amount allocated or transferred to the Index Account Option less the amount transferred out of the Index Account Option. Transfers out of the Index Account Option to the Fixed Account will be adjusted for any applicable MVA. During the Index Account Option term, the Index Account Option value is equal to the Interim Value, which is the greater of the Index Account Option value at the beginning of the term reduced for any partial withdrawals from the Index Account Option during the Index Account Option term, including any MVA, in the same proportion as the Interim Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal, plus the prorated Index Adjustment subject to prorated Index Adjustment Factors and the IVPF, or zero. Additional detail on Index Adjustment Factors can be found in the Crediting Method endorsements and Supplemental Contract Data Pages. On the Index Account Option Term Anniversary, the Index Account Option value is equal to the greater of the Index Account Option value at the beginning of the Index Account Option term, reduced for any partial withdrawals from the Index Account Option during the Index Account Option term, including any MVA, in the same proportion as the Interim Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal, plus the Index Adjustment subject to Index Adjustment Factors, or zero. Additional detail on Index Adjustment Factors can be found in the Crediting Method endorsements and Supplemental Contract Data Pages.

 

RILA287 14 WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS On or before the Income Date, You may request a total or partial withdrawal of the Contract Value by submitting a request to the Company's Service Center in a form acceptable to the Company. The withdrawal will be processed after a withdrawal request is received at the Service Center in Good Order. If a total withdrawal is requested, You must submit the Contract to the Service Center with the withdrawal request. TOTAL WITHDRAWAL. During the MVA Period, the Withdrawal Value for a total withdrawal from the Contract is equal to the Contract Value adjusted for any applicable MVA. After the expiration of the MVA Period, the Withdrawal Value for a total withdrawal from the Contract is equal to Contract Value. A total withdrawal terminates Your Contract. In no event will a total withdrawal from the Fixed Account be less than the FAMV. No withdrawal may exceed the Withdrawal Value. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL. Any partial withdrawal from an Index Account Option may be subject to an MVA. At least the Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, must remain after any partial withdrawal. With the exception of an MVA Free Withdrawal, unless You request otherwise, a gross partial withdrawal will be deducted from the Fixed Account and the Index Account Option(s) in proportion to their current values. The gross partial withdrawal deducted from the Index Account Option(s) will then be adjusted for any applicable MVA. If the gross amount of the partial withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value below the Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, the Company will treat the withdrawal request as a total withdrawal and the Withdrawal Value will be paid. The amount payable as a result of the partial withdrawal will be determined at the end of the Business Day on which the Company receives Your request for withdrawal in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. Partial Withdrawals will reduce each Index Account Option's value at the beginning of the term in the same proportion that its Interim Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal. QUALIFIED PLAN CONTRACT REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. Qualified Plan Contract RMDs are based upon Your Contract Value, and applicable federal tax law requirements. You may request a withdrawal for an RMD by submitting a written request to the Service Center on a Company provided form.

 

RILA287 15 WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D) The Company will waive any MVA if the gross amount withdrawn does not exceed the Contract's RMD amount. However, if a gross withdrawal amount is greater than the Contract's RMD amount, the excess amount of the gross partial withdrawal is subject to an MVA in the same proportion as the gross withdrawal amount is deducted from the Index Account Option(s). AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL. You may elect to take an automatic withdrawal by withdrawing a specific sum or a certain percentage of the Contract Value on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis, subject to the Minimum Partial Withdrawal amount made as a scheduled part of an automatic withdrawal program, as shown on the Contract Data Pages. Automatic withdrawals are treated as partial withdrawals and will be counted in determining the amount taken as an MVA Free Withdrawal in any Contract Year. Automatic withdrawals in excess of the MVA Free Withdrawal amount may be subject to an MVA. If an automatic withdrawal causes the Withdrawal Value to fall to zero, future automatic withdrawals will terminate. If the automatic withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value below the Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, the Company will treat the automatic withdrawal as a total withdrawal and the Withdrawal Value will be paid. MVA FREE WITHDRAWAL. During each Contract Year, certain partial withdrawals from the Index Account will not incur an MVA. The amount of MVA Free Withdrawal available in any Contract Year is equal to the greater of: 1. the MVA Free Withdrawal Percentage, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, multiplied by the Index Account value at the beginning of the Contract Year; or 2. zero. The MVA Free Withdrawal can be taken as a single withdrawal or multiple withdrawals throughout the Contract Year. The amount of Your MVA Free Withdrawal available will vary throughout the Contract Year depending on previous withdrawals of Your MVA Free Withdrawal amount. The amount of Your MVA Free Withdrawal available will reduce due to withdrawals from the Index Account during the Contract Year. MVA Free Withdrawals will be deducted from the Index Account Options in proportion to their current values within the Index Account. Any amount withdrawn to satisfy an RMD may reduce the amount of Your MVA Free Withdrawal available. No MVA Free Withdrawal may exceed the Withdrawal Value. Withdrawals during the Contract Year in excess of the MVA Free Withdrawal may be subject to any applicable MVA.

 

RILA287 16 DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS NATURAL OWNER'S DEATH BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Upon Your death or the death of any Joint Owner, before the Income Date, the Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by You. Upon the death of the first Joint Owner, the surviving Joint Owner will become the Primary Beneficiary and will receive the death benefit payable. Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the Company's Service Center at the time of the first Joint Owner's death will be treated as a Contingent Beneficiary. ANNUITANT'S DEATH BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of an Annuitant who is not an Owner before the Income Date, the Contract remains in force and the Owner becomes the Annuitant. The Owner may designate a new Annuitant, subject to the Company's administrative rules then in effect. No death benefit is payable on the death of an Annuitant who is not also an Owner. If the Contract is owned by a legal entity, upon the death of the Annuitant, (in the case of Joint Annuitants, upon the death of the first Annuitant) the Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Owner, or, if no Beneficiary(ies) survive the applicable death, to the Owner. DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. The death benefit amount before the Income Date is equal to the current Contract Value. DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Unless You designated a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option, a Beneficiary entitled to the death benefit before the Income Date must request that the Company pay the death benefit according to one of the death benefit options below: Option 1 - single lump-sum payment; Option 2 - payment of the entire death benefit distributed within five (5) years of the date of the relevant death; or Option 3 - Income Payments of the death benefit with distributions beginning within one (1) year of the date of the relevant death: (i) over the lifetime of the Beneficiary; or (ii) over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. The Company may make available other death benefit payment options. A Beneficiary that wishes to elect payment under Option 3 must do so no later than sixty (60) days from the date the Company receives Due Proof of death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center.

 

RILA287 17 DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D) Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Option 3 must be paid within five (5) years from Your death. The death benefit will remain invested in accordance with the allocation selected by You until a payout option is selected or the Beneficiary specifies otherwise. DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS. For Qualified Plans, the death benefit payment options may be limited under the terms of the plan endorsement in order to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code. BENEFICIARY'S ENTITLEMENT TO DEATH BENEFIT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. The Company will pay the death benefit to Primary Beneficiaries or, if none exist, to Contingent Beneficiaries, in equal shares (the "default allocation") unless You have designated otherwise (the "designated allocation"). A Beneficiary that dies before or within ten (10) days (or different period as prescribed by applicable law) of Your death is not entitled to any death benefit. In that circumstance, the Company will pay the deceased Beneficiary's share of the death benefit to surviving Beneficiaries in the same proportion as the designated allocation or, if applicable, the default allocation. If no Beneficiary survives You, the Company will pay the death benefit to Your estate. PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT. The Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary upon receipt of a request for payment with Due Proof of the relevant death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. If the Company has received Due Proof of death, the Company will calculate the share of the death benefit due to a Beneficiary using Contract values established at the end of the Business Day on the date the Company receives a claim form with a payment option elected from that Beneficiary. If the Company has not received Due Proof of death or any other required documentation, the Company will calculate the share of the death benefit due to a Beneficiary using Contract values established at the end of the Business Day on the date the Company receives any remaining required documentation. The Index Adjustments may cause the calculation of a Beneficiary's death benefit share to differ from the calculation of another Beneficiary's death benefit share. The Company will pay interest on a Beneficiary's death benefit share as required by law. Each Beneficiary entitled to the death benefit bears the investment risk associated with amounts allocated to any Index Account Option until the Company calculates their share of the death benefit. If any death benefit is due to an Owner's estate, the Company will pay the benefit in a single lump-sum payment. If a single lump-sum payment is elected, the Contract will remain in force and will accrue interest, at current rate(s) based on the Contract's current Crediting Method/Index combinations, until the Company first receives Due Proof of death in Good Order. After that time, the rate of interest will equal the rate of interest applicable to death benefit left on deposit with the Company on the date of Your death. The Company will pay the death benefit in accordance with applicable laws and regulations governing death benefit payments and in accordance with the Company's administrative procedures.

 

RILA287 18 DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D) Spousal Continuation Option Instead of Death Benefit. Unless the Contract is subject to a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option, a spouse who is a Joint Owner or Beneficiary of the deceased Owner may elect to continue the Contract in his or her own name as described below and exercise the Owner's rights under the Contract instead of taking the standard death benefit. For purposes of the Spousal Continuation Option, the "continuation date" is the date on which the Company receives the spouse's written request to elect the Spousal Continuation Option and Due Proof of the relevant death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. The Spousal Continuation Option is void in the event the original Contract Owner is no longer the Contract Owner or in the event the Contract has been assigned. The Spousal Continuation Option may be exercised only once and may not be available if You designated a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option. Pre-selected Death Benefit Option. Before the Income Date, You may designate the option according to which the Company will pay the death benefit from the death benefit payment options described in the Contract, or other death benefit options made available by the Company. You may do so by submitting a designation in a form acceptable to the Company in Good Order to the Company's Service Center. Pre-selected Death Benefit Options are effective only after being recorded by the Company. The Company will pay the death benefit consistent with Your Pre-selected Death Benefit Option unless the Internal Revenue Code requires otherwise, or Your election requires payment over a period that exceeds the Beneficiary's life expectancy as determined by the Company. Only You may revoke or change a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option. To do so, You must submit a request in a form acceptable to the Company to the Company's Service Center. Revocations of and changes to a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option are effective only after being recorded by the Company.

 

RILA287 19 INCOME PROVISIONS INCOME DATE. Income Payments begin on the Income Date. If You do not select an Income Date, the Income Date is the LID. You may change the Income Date to any date that is not later than the LID by submitting Written Notice in Good Order to the Company's Service Center at least seven (7) days before the Income Date. INCOME PAYMENT. On or before the Income Date, You may elect payment in a single lump- sum. A single lump-sum payment is considered a total withdrawal and terminates the Contract. The Company will make payment to You or another payee You specify. Alternatively, You may elect an Income Option to begin on the Income Date. The Company will apply the Contract Value, less applicable taxes, adjusted for any applicable MVA, to provide You income according to Your selected Income Option. INCOME OPTIONS. You may elect payment as provided in Options 1, 2, 3, or 4 below. You may elect an Income Option up to thirty (30) days before the Income Date by submitting Written Notice in Good Order to the Company's Service Center. The Company will make payment to You or another payee You specify. If You do not select an Income Option the Company will make payments as provided in Option 3 below, with 120 months certain. The Company will make payments monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as You elect. However, if the Contract Value on the Income Date is less than $2,000, the Company may pay out the Contract Value in one (1) lump-sum payment instead of providing Income Payments according to the Income Option You elect. If the first monthly payment provided would be less than $20, the Company may make payments quarterly, semiannually or annually to achieve an initial payment of at least $20, or the Company may pay out the Contract Value in one (1) single lump-sum payment. At the time of their commencement, Income Payments will not be less than those that would be provided by the application of an equivalent amount to purchase a single premium immediate annuity contract from the Company at purchase rates the Company offered on the Income Date to annuitants in the same class as the Annuitant. YOU MAY NOT TAKE WITHDRAWALS DURING ANY PERIOD THE COMPANY IS MAKING PAYMENTS FOR AN ANNUITANT'S LIFETIME. OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME. A monthly payment for the Annuitant's lifetime. All payments end upon the Annuitant's death. However, in the event of the Annuitant's death before the first monthly payment, the Company will pay the amount allocated to this Income Option to You or, if You are deceased, to Your Beneficiary. No MVA applies to Contract Value applied to Option 1. OPTION 2 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR INCOME. A monthly payment for the longer of the Annuitant's lifetime or that of a second person You designate. Upon the occasion of the first person to die, monthly payments continue during the survivor's lifetime at either the full amount previously payable or as a percentage (either one-half or two-thirds) of the full amount, as You select at the time You elect the Income Option. All payments end upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant. However, in the event of the deaths of the Annuitant and the designated second person before the first monthly payment, the Company will pay the amount allocated to this Income Option to You or, if You are deceased, Your Beneficiary. No MVA applies to Contract Value applied to Option 2.

 

RILA287 20 INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D) OPTION 3 - LIFE INCOME WITH 120 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED. A monthly payment for the Annuitant's lifetime with the guarantee that the Company will make no fewer than 120 or 240 monthly payments to You. If the Owner is an entity, at the Annuitant's death, if fewer than the guaranteed number of payments have been made, the remaining guaranteed payments will be made to the Owner as previously scheduled. If the Owner is the Annuitant, in the event You die before the Company makes the specified number of guaranteed payments, Your Beneficiary may elect to continue to receive the Income Payments according to the terms of this Contract, or alternatively may elect to receive the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments in a single lump-sum payment. The present value of any remaining guaranteed payments will be based on the total Income Payments as of the date of the calculation. The Company will determine the interest rate used in this present value calculation, but in no instance will it be greater than (one) 1 percentage point higher than the rate used to calculate the initial Income Payment. No MVA applies to Contract Value applied to Option 3. OPTION 4 - INCOME FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD. A monthly payment for any whole number of years ranging from 5 to 30. In the event You die before the Company makes the specified number of payments, Your Beneficiary may elect to continue to receive the Income Payments according to the terms of this Contract, or alternatively may elect to receive the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments in a single lump-sum payment. The present value of any remaining guaranteed payments will be based on the total Income Payments as of the date of the calculation. The Company will determine the interest rate used in this present value calculation, but in no instance will it be greater than (one) 1 percentage point higher than the rate used to calculate the initial Income Payment. No MVA applies to Contract Value applied to payments spread over five (5) years or more under Option 4. ADDITIONAL INCOME OPTIONS. The Company may make available other Income Options. DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT AFTER THE INCOME DATE. On or after the Income Date, upon any Owner's death, any remaining Income Payments will be paid in accordance with the Income Options of this Contract and will be paid at least as rapidly as the payment method in effect as of the Owner's death. OWNER'S DEATH AFTER THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of any Owner who is not also an Annuitant after the Income Date, any remaining Income Payments due will continue at least as rapidly as the payment method in effect as of the date of the Owner's death. Upon the death of the last surviving Joint Owner after the Income Date, any remaining Income Payments will be paid to the Beneficiary. ANNUITANT'S DEATH AFTER THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of the Annuitant after the Income Date, the death benefit, if any, will be as specified in the Income Option elected. Any life-contingent Income Payments cease on the death of the Annuitant.

 

RILA287 21 INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D) BENEFICIARY'S ENTITLEMENT TO INCOME PAYMENTS AFTER THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of any Owner, the Company will pay any remaining Income Payments due to Primary Beneficiaries or, if none exist, to the Contingent Beneficiaries, in equal shares (the "default allocation") unless You have designated otherwise (the "designated allocation"). A Beneficiary that dies before or within ten (10) days (or different period as prescribed by applicable law) of Your death is not entitled to remaining Income Payments due; in that circumstance, the Company will pay any remaining Income Payments due the deceased Beneficiary to surviving Beneficiaries in the same proportion as the designated allocation or, if applicable, the default allocation. If no Beneficiary survives You, the Company will pay remaining Income Payments to Your estate.

 

RILA287 22 TERMINATION PROVISIONS This Contract terminates and all Contract benefits, will end on the earlier of: 1. the date You take a total withdrawal; 2. the date the Contract Value is reduced to zero for any reason, or; 3. the date upon which the Company receives Due Proof of Your (or any Joint Owner's) death and all Beneficiaries' election of a death benefit payment option in Good Order at the Company's Service Center, unless the Contract is continued by the spouse under the Spousal Continuation Option.
