ANNUITY PAYMENTS GENERAL Benefits payable under this Contract may be applied in accordance with one or more of the Annuity Options described below, subject to any restrictions of Internal Revenue Code sections 401(a)(9) and 408(b)(3). If guaranteed payments are to be made, the period over which the guaranteed payments are made may not exceed the period permitted under Section 1.401(a)(9)-6 of the Income Tax Regulations. Once Annuity Payments commence, the Annuity Option may not be changed. We will send you information about Annuity Options before the Annuity Commencement Date. If by the Maturity Date, you do not choose an Annuity Option, make a total withdrawal of the Surrender Value, or ask us to change the Maturity Date, we will automatically pay you Annuity Payments under the Annuity Option shown on the Specifications Page and the Annuity Commencement Date is considered to be the Maturity Date. You can change the Annuity Option at any time before Annuity Payments commence. You may select a Fixed or Variable Annuity. We will provide variable Annuity Payments unless otherwise elected. Once Annuity Payments commence, the Annuity Option may not be changed. The method used to calculate the amount of the initial and subsequent Annuity Payments is described below. If the monthly income is less than $20, we may pay the greater of the Contract Value or the commuted value of the Lifetime Income Benefit in one lump sum on the Maturity Date, or the Annuity Commencement Date if earlier. VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS We will determine the amount of the first variable Annuity Payment by applying the portion of the Contract Value used to effect a Variable Annuity (minus any applicable premium taxes) to the Annuity Option elected based on the mortality table and assumed interest rate shown on the Specifications Page. We will provide a table of the annuity factors upon request. If the current rates in use by us on the Annuity Commencement Date are more favorable to you, we will use the current rates. The portion of the Contract Value used to effect a Variable Annuity will be measured as of a date not more than 10 business days prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. Subsequent payments will be based on the investment performance of the Investment Options you elected. The amount of each subsequent variable Annuity Payment is determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units credited for each Investment Option you elect by the appropriate Annuity Unit value on each subsequent determination date, which is a uniformly applied date not more than 10 business days before the payment is due. The number of Annuity Units is determined by dividing the portion of the first payment allocated to an Investment Option by the Annuity Unit value for that Investment Option determined as of the same date that the Contract Value used to effect Annuity Payments was determined. The portion of the first payment allocated to an investment Option will be determined in the same proportion that the Investment Account Value of each Investment Option bears to the Contract Value used to effect the Variable Annuity, unless you elect a different allocation. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE We guarantee that the dollar amount of each GUARANTEE variable Annuity Payment will not be affected by changes in mortality and expense experience. 12.1 ANNUITY UNIT VALUE The value of an Annuity Unit for each Investment Option for any Valuation Period is determined as follows: (a) The net investment factor for the corresponding Sub-Account for the Valuation Period for which the Annuity Unit value is being calculated is multiplied by the value of the Annuity Unit for the preceding Valuation Period; and (b) The result is adjusted to compensate for the interest rate used to determine the first variable Annuity Payment. The dollar value of Annuity Units may increase, decrease or remain the same from one Valuation Period to the next. FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS We will determine the amount of each fixed Annuity Payment by applying the portion of the Contract Value used to effect a Fixed Annuity measured as of a date not more than 10 business days prior to the Annuity Commencement Date (minus any applicable premium taxes) to the Annuity Option elected based on the mortality table and interest rate shown on the Specifications Page. The fixed Annuity Payment will not be less than that available by applying the Contract Value to purchase a single premium immediate annuity then offered to the same class of annuitants by us or a company affiliated with us. We guarantee the dollar amount of fixed Annuity Payments.
Payments on Early Termination For the purpose of Section 6(e) of this Agreement: (i) Market Quotation will apply. (ii) The Second Method will apply.
