SECTION 2. SEPARATE ACCOUNT
2.1 SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account (NML Variable Annuity Account A) has been established by
the Company. The Separate Account consists of assets set aside by the Company,
the investment performance of which is kept separate from that of the general
assets and all other separate account assets of the Company. The assets of the
Separate Account will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other
business the Company may conduct. Interests in the Separate Account are
represented by Accumulation Units and Annuity Units, described in Sections 2.2
and 11.3, respectively.
The Separate Account is comprised of the Divisions listed on page 3. The assets
allocated to these Divisions are invested in shares of the corresponding
Portfolios. Shares of the Portfolios are purchased for the Separate Account at
their net asset value.
The Company reserves the right to eliminate or add additional Divisions and
Portfolios.
2.2 ACCUMULATION UNITS
The interest of this contract in the Separate Account, prior to the date on
which amounts become payable under a payment plan, is represented by
Accumulation Units. The dollar value of Accumulation Units for each Division
will increase or decrease to reflect the investment experience of the Division.
The value of an Accumulation Unit on any Valuation Date is the product of:
o the value on the immediately preceding Valuation Date; and
o the Net Investment Factor for the period from the immediately preceding
Valuation Date up to and including the current Valuation Date (the
current period).
There may be Class A and Class B Accumulation Units. The Mortality and Expense
Risk Charge for each class is shown on page 4. Net Purchase Payments applied to
the Separate Account and transfers from the Class B Guaranteed Interest Fund
purchase Class B Accumulation Units until conversion takes place as described in
Section 7.3.
2.3 NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
For each Division of the Separate Account the Net Investment Factor for the
current period is one plus the net investment rate for that Division. The net
investment rate for the current period is equal to the gross investment rate for
the Division reduced on each Valuation Date by a Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge. The charge for these risks on the Issue Date is shown on page 4. The
Company may increase or decrease the charge after the Issue Date, but the
Company may not increase the charge to exceed the maximum charge shown on page
4.
12
The gross investment rate for the current period for each Division is equal to
a. divided by b. where:
a. is:
o the investment income of the Division for the current period; plus
o capital gains for the period, whether realized or unrealized, on the
assets of the Division; less
o capital losses for the period, whether realized or unrealized, on
the assets of the Division; less
o deduction for any tax liability paid or reserved for by the Company
resulting from the maintenance or operation of the Division; and
less
o any reasonable expenses paid or reserved for by the Company which
result from a substitution of other securities for shares of the
Portfolio(s) as set forth in Section 2.4; and
b. is the value of the assets in the Division on the immediately preceding
Valuation Date.
The gross investment rate may be positive or negative. The deduction for any tax
liability may be charged proportionately against those contracts to which the
liability is attributable by a reduction in the gross investment rate for those
contracts.
2.4 SUBSTITUTION AND CHANGE
Pursuant to the authority of the Board of Trustees of the Company:
o the assets of the Division may be invested in securities other than
shares of the Portfolio(s) as a substitute for those shares already
purchased or as the securities to be purchased in the future; and
o the provisions of the contracts may be modified to comply with any other
applicable federal or state laws.
In the event of a substitution or change, the Company may make appropriate
endorsement on this and other contracts having an interest in the Separate
Account and take other actions as may be necessary to effect the substitution or
change. Any such substitution or change will be subject to any required approval
of the Commissioner of Insurance for the state of Wisconsin, and filing with the
state in which this contract is issued.
13
SECTION 3. GUARANTEED INTEREST FUND
3.1 GUARANTEED INTEREST FUND
Net Purchase Payments (see Section 4.2) and amounts transferred from other
Investment Accounts under this contract (see Section 4.4) may be applied to the
Guaranteed Interest Fund. Contract benefits placed under a variable payment plan
may not be applied to the Guaranteed Interest Fund. Amounts applied to the
Guaranteed Interest Fund become part of the general assets of the Company.
3.2 ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Accumulation Value of the Guaranteed Interest Fund is the sum of the amounts
applied to it, plus credited interest, less any amounts withdrawn or transferred
from the fund. Interest begins to accrue on the effective date of the Purchase
Payment or transfer (see Section 4.6).
There may be Class A and Class B Guaranteed Interest Funds. Net Purchase
Payments applied to the Guaranteed Interest Fund and amounts transferred from
Class B Accumulation Units into the Guaranteed Interest Fund are applied to the
Class B Guaranteed Interest Fund until conversion takes place as described in
Section 7.3. Amounts transferred from Class A Accumulation Units into the
Guaranteed Interest Fund are applied to the Class A Guaranteed Interest Fund.
Interest will be credited at an annual effective interest rate of not less than
3%. A higher rate may be declared by the Company from time to time for a period
set by the Company. The declared rate for the Class A Guaranteed Interest Fund
will always equal or exceed the declared rate for the Class B Guaranteed
Interest Fund.
3.3 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
Transfers of Accumulation Value from the Guaranteed Interest Fund will not be
allowed for a period of 365 days following the most recent transfer of
Accumulation Value from the Guaranteed Interest Fund.
The maximum amount of the Accumulation Value that may be transferred from the
Guaranteed Interest Fund in one transfer is limited to the greater of:
o 25% of the Accumulation Value of the Guaranteed Interest Fund on the
last contract anniversary preceding the transfer; and
o the amount of the most recent transfer from the Guaranteed Interest
Fund.
However, in no event will this maximum transfer amount be less than $1,000 or
greater than $50,000.
Transfers of Accumulation Value into the Guaranteed Interest Fund will not be
allowed for a period of 90 days following the most recent transfer of
Accumulation Value from the Guaranteed Interest Fund.
14
3.4 MAXIMUM GUARANTEED INTEREST FUND ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Accumulation Value of the Guaranteed Interest Fund may not exceed $1,000,000
without prior consent of the Company, except when the maximum is exceeded
because of interest accruing to the Guaranteed Interest Fund.
3.5 TABLE OF GUARANTEED VALUES
Accumulation and cash values are shown on page 4A. The values are based on the
assumptions stated on page 4A and are for the end of the contract years shown.
Values for contract years not shown are calculated on the same basis as those
shown on page 4A. Guaranteed values are at least as great as those required by
the state in which this contract is delivered.
SECTION 4. PURCHASE PAYMENTS, TRANSFERS, WITHDRAWALS
4.1 PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
All Purchase Payments are payable at the Home Office or to an authorized agent.
A receipt signed by an officer of the Company will be furnished on request.
Purchase Payments may be made at any time prior to the death of an Owner and
prior to the Maturity Date. Purchase Payments may be made after the death of an
Owner only if the new Owner of the contract is the surviving spouse of the
deceased Owner. The Owner may vary the amount of Purchase Payments, but no
Purchase Payment may be less than the Minimum Purchase Payment shown on page 4.
Total Purchase Payments may not exceed $5,000,000 without the consent of the
Company.
The Company will not accept any Purchase Payment under Section 4 unless it is a
contribution under a pension or profit sharing plan which meets the requirements
of Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or the
requirements for deduction of the employer's contribution under Section 404
(a)(2) of such code.
4.2 APPLICATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Each Purchase Payment, net of Premium Taxes, will be applied to one or more
Investment Accounts. Net Purchase Payments applied to the Guaranteed Interest
Fund will accrue interest from the effective date of the Purchase Payment. Net
Purchase Payments purchase Class B Accumulation Units or are applied to the
Class B Guaranteed Interest Fund. Accumulation Units are credited as of the
effective date of the Net Purchase Payment.
The number of Accumulation Units will be determined by dividing the Net Purchase
Payment by the value of an Accumulation Unit on the effective date. This number
of Accumulation Units will not be changed by any subsequent change in the dollar
value of Accumulation Units.
15
4.3 SELECTION OF INVESTMENT ACCOUNT FOR PURCHASE PAYMENTS
The Owner may change the allocation of Net Purchase Payments among the
Investment Accounts by written notice to the Company. Net Purchase Payments
received at the Home Office on or after the date on which notice is received
will be applied to the designated Investment Accounts on the basis of the new
allocation.
4.4 TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATION VALUE
Before the Maturity Date the Owner may, on request satisfactory to the Company,
transfer amounts from one Investment Account to another, subject to the transfer
restrictions described in Section 3.3.
For transfers among the Separate Account Divisions, the number of Accumulation
Units to be applied or deducted will be adjusted to reflect the respective value
of the Accumulation Units in each of the Divisions on the date the transfer is
effective.
For transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Fund, amounts closest to expiration
of an interest rate guarantee will be removed first. In the event that two
amounts are equally close to expiration, the one which was applied to the
Guaranteed Interest Fund earlier will be removed first.
Any transfers of Class A Accumulation Value purchase Class A Accumulation Units
or are applied to the Class A Guaranteed Interest Fund. Any transfers of Class B
Accumulation Value purchase Class B Accumulation Units or are applied to the
Class B Guaranteed Interest Fund.
A Transfer Fee may be deducted from the amount transferred. The maximum amount
of the Transfer Fee is shown on page 4. The minimum amount which may be
transferred is the lesser of $100 or the entire Accumulation Value of the
Investment Account from which the transfer is being made.
4.5 WITHDRAWALS AND FULL SURRENDER
Before the Maturity Date the Owner may, on request satisfactory to the Company,
withdraw all or a portion of the Accumulation Value of the contract. The Company
may require that the Minimum Accumulation Value shown on page 4 remain after a
partial withdrawal. Withdrawal of the entire value of the contract constitutes a
full surrender, and receipt of the contract at the Home Office will terminate
this contract. Receipt of the contract may be waived by the Company.
The cash value of the amount withdrawn will be the Accumulation Value withdrawn
determined as of the date the withdrawal is effective, less any applicable
Withdrawal Charge. The Withdrawal Charge is described in Section 7.4
The term "withdrawal amounts" as used in this contract includes amounts paid as
full surrenders and withdrawals of a portion of the Accumulation Value of the
contract.
16
Withdrawals from the Guaranteed Interest Fund will be withdrawn in accordance
with the Order of Withdrawal provisions of Section 7.4. Subject to that order of
withdrawal, the first amounts withdrawn from the Class A Guaranteed Interest
Fund or the Class B Guaranteed Interest Fund, whichever are applicable, will be
those amounts closest to the expiration of an interest rate guarantee. In the
event two amounts are equally close to expiration, the one which was applied to
the Guaranteed Interest Fund earlier will be removed first.
4.6 EFFECTIVE DATE
The effective date of a Purchase Payment, transfer, or withdrawal is the
Valuation Date on which the Purchase Payment or the request for transfer or
withdrawal is received at the Home Office. However, the Purchase Payment,
transfer, or withdrawal will be effective on the following Valuation Date if the
Purchase Payment, request for transfer or withdrawal is received at the Home
Office either:
o on a Valuation Date after the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange; or
o on a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.
SECTION 5. BENEFITS
5.1 MATURITY BENEFIT
MATURITY OPTIONS. If the Annuitant is living on the Maturity Date shown on page
3, and that Maturity Date is earlier than the contract anniversary nearest the
Annuitant's 90th birthday, the Owner may elect between the following maturity
options:
o payment of a monthly income under a payment plan chosen by the Owner; or
o deferral of the maturity benefit and continuation of this contract to
the Optional Maturity Date. The contract will continue under this option
if a written election for this purpose is received by the Company or if
on the Maturity Date shown on page 3, the Owner has not chosen a payment
plan.
If the Annuitant is living on the Maturity Date and that Maturity Date is on or
after the contract anniversary nearest the Annuitant's 90th birthday, the
Company will pay a monthly income under a payment form chosen by the Owner.
PAYMENT OF MATURITY BENEFIT. The amount of the monthly income paid as the
maturity benefit will depend on the payment plan chosen (see Section 11) and the
maturity value. The maturity value of this contract will be the Accumulation
Value of the contract on the effective date of the maturity benefit, less any
applicable Withdrawal Charge (see Section 7.4). The maturity benefit will be
effective on the Maturity Date. However, if the New York Stock Exchange is
closed on the Maturity Date, the effective date will be the Valuation Date next
preceding the Maturity Date.
If no payment form is chosen at the time a monthly income becomes payable,
payments will be made under the variable payment form of Life Income Plan
(Option C), with installments certain for ten years, as described in Section
11.1.
17
OPTIONAL MATURITY DATE. The Optional Maturity Date is the contract anniversary
nearest the Annuitant's 90th birthday. If the contract is continued to the
Optional Maturity Date, all contract rights of the Owner will continue in effect
to the Optional Maturity Date. The Optional Maturity Date will become the
Maturity Date for all other purposes of this contract.
5.2 DEATH BENEFIT IF ANNUITANT IS AN OWNER
If the Annuitant is an Owner, the beneficiary becomes entitled to the Death
Benefit upon receipt at the Home Office of satisfactory proof of the death of
the Annuitant before the Maturity Date. The Death Benefit will be the
Accumulation Value of the contract determined on the effective date. The
effective date is the date on which proof of death is received at the Home
Office. However, the effective date will be the next following Valuation Date if
the proof of death is received at the Home Office either:
o on a Valuation Date after the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange; or
o on a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.
If the beneficiary becomes entitled to the Death Benefit due to the death of the
Primary Annuitant prior to the Primary Annuitant's 75th birthday, the Death
Benefit will not be less than:
o total Net Purchase Payments paid under the contract; less
o any amounts withdrawn under Section 4.5.
As of the effective date, the Accumulation Value of the contract will be set at
an amount equal to the Death Benefit. Unless a payment plan was elected by the
Owner, the beneficiary automatically becomes the Owner and Annuitant of the
contract. However, if the beneficiary is not a natural person and no payment
plan was elected by the Owner, the beneficiary may select a natural person to be
the Annuitant. If a natural person is not selected to be the Annuitant within 60
days of the date on which proof of death of the Annuitant is received at the
Home Office, the Accumulation Value will be distributed to the beneficiary.
If a beneficiary becomes entitled to the Death Benefit in an amount less than
the Minimum Accumulation Value shown on page 4, the Accumulation Value will be
distributed to the beneficiary.
The cash value of any amount distributed will be the Accumulation Value
withdrawn as of the date of withdrawal as determined in Section 4.6.
5.3 DEATH BENEFIT IF ANNUITANT IS NOT AN OWNER
If the Annuitant is not an Owner, upon the death of the Annuitant the contract
continues with the Contingent Annuitant (Section 6.5) as the new Annuitant. The
Death Benefit will be the Accumulation Value of the contract determined on the
effective date. The effective date is the date on which proof of death is
received at the Home Office. However, the effective date will be the next
following Valuation Date if the proof of death is received at the Home Office
either:
o on a Valuation Date after the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange; or
o on a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.
18
If the Primary Annuitant dies prior to the Primary Annuitant's 75th birthday,
the Death Benefit will not be less than:
o total Net Purchase Payments paid under the contract; less
o any amounts withdrawn under Section 4.5.
As of the effective date the Accumulation Value of the contract will be set at
an amount equal to the Death Benefit.
SECTION 6. BENEFICIARIES AND CONTINGENT ANNUITANTS
6.1 NAMING AND CHANGING OF BENEFICIARIES
FOR MATURITY BENEFITS OR WITHDRAWALS BY OWNER. The Owner may name and change the
beneficiaries of maturity benefits or withdrawal amounts before the Maturity
Date. If no beneficiary is named by the Owner, the Owner will be the direct
beneficiary.

c. the spouse survives the Annuitant.
o TO WHOM SPOUSE CAN APPOINT. Under this power, the spouse can appoint:

Company. The request will then take effect as of the date that it was signed.
The Company is not responsible for any payment or other action that is taken by
it before the receipt of the request. The Company may require that the contract
be sent to it to be endorsed to show the naming or change.
19
6.2 SUCCESSION IN INTEREST OF BENEFICIARIES
The rights and benefits that a beneficiary becomes entitled to under the
contract are shared equally among all surviving direct beneficiaries, if any,
otherwise equally among all surviving contingent beneficiaries, if any,
otherwise to the Owner or the Owner's Estate.
6.3 TRUSTEE AS BENEFICIARY
If a trustee is named as a beneficiary and no qualified trustee makes claim to
the proceeds, or to the present value of any unpaid payments under a payment
plan, within one year after payment becomes due to the trustee, or if
satisfactory evidence is furnished to the Company within that year showing that
no trustee can qualify to receive payment, payment will be made as though the
trustee had not been named.
The Company will be fully discharged of liability for any action taken by the
trustee and for all amounts paid to, or at the direction of, the trustee and
will have no obligation as to the use of the amounts. In all dealings with the
trustee the Company will be fully protected against the claims of every other
person. The Company will not be charged with notice of a change of trustee
unless written evidence of the change is received at the Home Office.
6.4 GENERAL
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. A transfer of ownership of itself will not change the
interest of a beneficiary.
CLAIMS OF CREDITORS. So far as allowed by law, no amount payable under this
contract will be subject to the claims of creditors of a beneficiary.
6.5 NAMING AND CHANGING A CONTINGENT ANNUITANT
The Owner may name and change a Contingent Annuitant while the Annuitant is
living.
If the Annuitant was not the Owner immediately prior to the Annuitant's death,
the Owner may name and change a Contingent Annuitant during the first 60 days
after the date on which proof of death of the Annuitant is received at the Home
Office. A change made during this 60 days cannot be revoked. If no one is named
as Contingent Annuitant by the end of the 60 day time period, the Company will
pay the Accumulation Value to the Owner. The cash value of any amount
distributed will be the Accumulation Value withdrawn as of the date of
withdrawal as determined in Section 4.6.
A naming or changing of a Contingent Annuitant will be effective on receipt at
the Home Office of a written request that is acceptable to the Company.
SECTION 7. CHARGES, FEES AND CONVERSION
7.1 PREMIUM TAXES
The Company may deduct Premium Taxes incurred from Purchase Payments received.
20
7.2 CONTRACT FEE
On each contract anniversary prior to the Maturity Date, a Contract Fee will be
charged for administrative expenses. The amount of the Contract Fee is shown on
page 4. The Contract Fee will be deducted from the Investment Accounts in
proportion to the Accumulation Value of the Investment Accounts.
The Contract Fee deducted from the Guaranteed Interest Fund will not exceed the
sum of:
o 10% of the gross purchase payments applied to the Guaranteed Interest
Fund during the contract year; and
o interest in excess of an annual effective interest rate of 3% credited
to the Guaranteed Interest Fund during the contract year.
The effective date of the Contract Fee will be the contract anniversary.
However, if the New York Stock Exchange is closed on the contract anniversary,
the effective date will be the next following Valuation Date.
7.3 CONVERSION OF INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS
On a policy anniversary some Class B Accumulation Units may convert to Class A
Accumulation Units and a portion of the Class B Guaranteed Interest Fund may
convert to the Class A Guaranteed Interest Fund. The amounts that will be
converted are dependent on the conversion of Net Purchase Payments.
On a policy anniversary, a Net Purchase Payment converts if:
o the total Accumulation Value of the contract exceeds $25,000,
o the Net Purchase Payment has not previously converted; and
o the Net Purchase Payment is in the zero Withdrawal Charge category.
If a Net Purchase Payment converts, a conversion percentage is calculated. The
conversion percentage equals the greater of:
o the Net Purchase Payments converting divided by all Net Purchase Payments
not already converted; and
o the Net Purchase Payments converting divided by the value of all Class B
Accumulation Units and the Class B Guaranteed Interest Fund, but in no event
more than 100%.
A percentage of Class B Accumulation Units in each Division(s), equal to the
conversion percentage, will convert to Class A Accumulation Units in the same
Division(s). The number of Accumulation Units will be adjusted to reflect the
respective value of the Accumulation Units on the date of the conversion.
A percentage of the Class B Guaranteed Interest Fund, equal to the conversion
percentage, will convert to the Class A Guaranteed Interest Fund beginning with
the amounts closest to expiration of an interest rate declaration period. For
the remainder of the declared interest rate period, such amounts will be
credited with interest at the rates applicable to amounts in the Class A
Guaranteed Interest Fund as of the date the interest rate was declared.
21
7.4 WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
CONDITIONS. Maturity benefits and withdrawals are subject to a Withdrawal Charge
described on page 4. There is no Withdrawal Charge on benefits that are paid
under a variable Installment Income or variable Life Income Payment Plan.
However, the withdrawal of the present value of any unpaid installments under a
variable Installment Income Plan (Option B) will be subject to a withdrawal
charge if the withdrawal is made less than five years after the date that the
payment plan takes effect.
CALCULATIONS. The amount of the Withdrawal Charge on the contract is equal to
the sum of the Withdrawal Charges on all Net Purchase Payments. The Withdrawal
Charge on a Net Purchase Payment is equal to the Withdrawal Charge percentage on
the date the Withdrawal Charge is determined, multiplied by the amount of the
Net Purchase Payment. The Withdrawal Charge percentages are shown on page 4. The
excess of the Accumulation Value of the contract over the total of Net Purchase
Payments paid is not subject to a Withdrawal Charge.
Withdrawal Charges are determined:
o for maturity benefits, as of the Maturity Date.
o for withdrawals under Section 4.5, as of the effective date of the
withdrawal.
o for withdrawals from payment plans, as of the effective date of the
withdrawal.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE FREE AMOUNT. If the Accumulation Value of the contract is at
least $10,000 on the most recent contract anniversary preceding a withdrawal
under Section 4.5, then the amount withdrawn will be taken first from the
withdrawal charge free amount. For each Contract Year, the amount eligible for
the Withdrawal Charge Free Amount is 10% of the Class B Accumulation Value of
the contract on the most recent contract anniversary preceding the withdrawal.
ORDER OF WITHDRAWAL. A withdrawal will be taken from the contract in the
following order:
o first, from the Withdrawal Charge Free Amount, if any;
o next, from the Class A Accumulation Value of the contract;
o next, from the Net Purchase Payments which have not been converted under
Section 7.3, in the order that produces the lowest Withdrawal Charge;
and
o last, from any remaining Accumulation Value of the contract.
SECTION 8. OWNERSHIP
8.1 THE OWNER
The Owner is named on page 3. All contract rights may be exercised by the Owner,
the Owner's successor, or the Owner's transferee without the consent of any
beneficiary.
If the contract has more than one Owner, contract rights may be exercised only
by authorization of all Owners. Upon the death of an Owner, ownership rights of
all Owners terminate if the deceased Owner was the Annuitant.
22
8.2 TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
The Owner may transfer the ownership of this contract. Written proof of transfer
satisfactory to the Company must be received at its Home Office. The transfer
will then take effect as of the date it was signed. The Company may require that
the contract be sent to it for endorsement to show the transfer. The Company
will not be responsible to a transferee Owner for any payment or other action
taken by the Company before receipt of the proof of transfer at its Home Office.
8.3 NAMING AND CHANGING A SUCCESSOR OWNER
An Owner may name and change a Successor Owner. Naming or changing a Successor
Owner will be effective on receipt at the Home Office of a written request for
such change that is acceptable to the Company. A Successor Owner succeeds to the
interests of an Owner only if the Owner was not the Annuitant at the time of the
Owner's death.
8.4 COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
The Owner may assign this contract as collateral security. The Company is not
responsible for the validity or effect of a collateral assignment. The Company
will not be responsible to an assignee for any payment or other action taken by
the Company before receipt of the assignment in writing at its Home Office.
The interest of any beneficiary will be subject to any collateral assignment
made either before or after the beneficiary is named.
A collateral assignee is not an Owner. A collateral assignment is not a transfer
of ownership. Ownership can be transferred only by complying with Section 8.2.
8.5 REPORTS TO OWNERS
At least once each Contract Year, the Company will send to the Owner or
beneficiary a statement of the Accumulation Values of the Investment Accounts,
the number of units credited to the contract, the dollar value of a unit as of a
date not more than two months previous to the date of mailing, and a statement
of the investments held by the Separate Account.
8.6 TRANSFERABILITY RESTRICTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, the Owner may not:
o change the ownership of the contract; or
o sell the contract, or assign or pledge the contract as collateral for a loan
or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other
purpose, to any person other than the Company.
23
These restrictions will not apply if the Owner is:
o the trustee of an employee trust that is qualified under the Internal
Revenue Code; or
o the custodian of a custodial account treated as an employee trust that is
qualified under the Internal Revenue Code.
The restrictions do not preclude the employer under a nontrusteed plan from
transferring ownership of this contract to the Annuitant or to the employer or
trustee under another plan or trust when required by the plan.
SECTION 9. THE CONTRACT
9.1 GUARANTEES
The Company guarantees that mortality and expense results will not adversely
affect the amount of variable payments.
9.2 VALUATION OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS
The value of the shares of each Portfolio held in the Separate Account on each
Valuation Date will be the redemption value of the shares on that date. If the
right to redeem shares of a Portfolio has been suspended, or payment of the
redemption value has been postponed, the shares held in the Separate Account
(and Annuity Units) may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by
the Board of Trustees of the Company for the sole purpose of computing annuity
payments.
9.3 DETERMINATION OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUES
The method of determination by the Company of the Net Investment Factor, and the
number and value of Accumulation Units and Annuity Units, will be conclusive
upon the Owner, any assignee, the Annuitant, and any beneficiary.
9.4 DEFERMENT OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS
SEPARATE ACCOUNT DIVISIONS. The Company reserves the right to defer
determination of the contract values of the Separate Account portion of this
contract, or the payment of benefits under a variable payment plan, until after
the end of any period during which the right to redeem shares of a Portfolio is
suspended, or payment of the redemption value is postponed. Any deferment would
be in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 by
reason of closing of, or restriction of trading on, the New York Stock Exchange,
or other emergency, or as otherwise permitted by the Act. In addition, the
Company reserves the right to defer payment of contract values until seven days
after the end of any deferment in the determination of contract values.
GUARANTEED INTEREST FUND. The Company may defer paying contract values of the
Guaranteed Interest Fund for up to six months from the effective date of the
withdrawal or full surrender. If payment is deferred for 30 days or more,
interest will be paid on the withdrawal amounts at an annual effective rate of
3% from the effective date of the withdrawal or surrender to the date of the
payment.
24
9.5 DIVIDENDS
This contract will share in the divisible surplus of the Company, except while
payments are being made under a variable payment plan. This surplus will be
determined each year, and the dividend, if any, will be credited on the contract
anniversary. Any dividend credited prior to the Maturity Date will be applied on
the effective date as a Net Purchase Payment unless the Owner elects to have the
dividend paid in cash. The effective date of the dividend will be the contract
anniversary. However, if the New York Stock Exchange is closed on the contract
anniversary, the effective date will be the next following Valuation Date.
Since this policy is not expected to contribute to divisible surplus, it is not
expected that any dividends will be paid.
9.6 INCONTESTABILITY
The Company will not contest this contract after it has been in force during the
lifetime of the Annuitant for two years from the Issue Date. This Issue Date is
shown on page 3.
9.7 MISSTATEMENTS
If the age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the amount payable will
be the amount which the Purchase Payments paid would have purchased at the
correct age and sex. If any amounts have been overpaid by the Company due to a
misstatement of age or sex, the amount of the overpayment may be deducted from
payments to be made by the Company. If any amounts have been underpaid by the
Company due to a misstatement of age or sex, the amount of the underpayment will
be paid.
9.8 ENTIRE CONTRACT; CHANGES
This contract with any amendments and additional benefits and the attached
application is the entire contract. Statements in the application are
representations and not warranties. A change in the contract is valid only if it
is approved by an officer of the Company. The Company may require that the
contract be sent to it for endorsement to show a change. No agent has the
authority to change the contract or to waive any of its terms.
All payments by the Company under this contract are payable at its Home Office.
Assets of the Separate Account are owned by the Company and the Company is not a
trustee with respect thereto. The company may from time to time adjust the
amount of assets contained in the Separate Account, by periodic withdrawals or
additions, to reflect the contract deductions and the Company's reserves for
this and other similar contracts.
This contract is subject to the laws of the state in which it is delivered. All
benefits are at least as great as those required by that state.
25
9.9 TERMINATION OF CONTRACT
The Company may terminate the contract and pay the Owner the Accumulation Value
of the contract and be released of any further obligation if:
o prior to the Maturity Date no Purchase Payments have been received
under the contract for a period of two full years and each of the
following is less than the Minimum Accumulation Value shown on page 4:
a. the Accumulation Value of the contract; and
b. total Purchase Payments paid under the contract, less any
amounts withdrawn under Section 4.5; or
o on the Maturity Date the Accumulation Value of the contract is less
than the Minimum Accumulation Value shown on page 4 or would provide an
initial monthly income which is less than the minimum payment amount
shown on page 4.
SECTION 10. PAYMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS
10.1 PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
All or part of the contract benefits may be paid under one or more of the
following:
o a variable payment plan;
o a fixed payment plan; or
o in cash.
The provisions and rates for variable and fixed payment plans are described in
Section 11. Contract benefits may not be placed under a payment plan unless the
plan would provide to each beneficiary an initial monthly income of at least the
minimum payment amount shown on page 4. A Withdrawal Charge will be deducted
from contract benefits before their payment under certain conditions described
in Section 7.4.
10.2 DEATH BENEFIT
A beneficiary entitled to the Death Benefit upon the death of an Annuitant may
elect to receive the Accumulation Value under a payment plan or in cash provided
no payment plan was elected by the Owner. The cash value of any amount
distributed will be the Accumulation Value withdrawn as of the date of
withdrawal as determined in Section 4.6.
26
10.3 EFFECTIVE DATE FOR PAYMENT PLAN
A payment plan that is elected for maturity benefits will take effect on the
Maturity Date.
If the Annuitant is an Owner, a payment plan that is elected by the Owner for
the Death Benefit will take effect on the date proof of death of the Annuitant
is received at the Home Office.
In all other cases, a payment plan that is elected will take effect:
o on the date the election is received at the Home Office; or
o on a later date, if requested.
10.4 PAYMENT PLAN ELECTIONS
FOR DEATH BENEFITS BY OWNER. The Owner may elect payment plans for death
benefits while the Annuitant is living.
FOR MATURITY BENEFITS OR WITHDRAWAL AMOUNTS. The Owner may elect payment plans
for maturity benefits or withdrawal amounts.
TRANSFER BETWEEN PAYMENT PLANS. A beneficiary who is receiving payment under a
payment plan which includes the right to withdraw may transfer the amount
withdrawable to any other payment plan that is available.
SECTION 11. PAYMENT PLANS
11.1 DESCRIPTION OF PAYMENT PLANS
INSTALLMENT INCOME FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD (OPTION B)
The Company will make monthly installment income payments providing for payment
of benefits over a specified period of 10 to 30 years during the first five
contract years and over a specified period of 5 to 30 years beginning with the
sixth contract year.
27
LIFE INCOME PLANS
o SINGLE LIFE INCOME (OPTION C). The Company will make monthly payments
for the selected certain period, if any, and thereafter during the
remaining lifetime of the individual upon whose life income payments
depend. The selections available are: (a) no certain period; or (b) a
certain period of 10 or 20 years.
o JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME (OPTION E). The Company will make monthly
payments for a 10-year certain period and thereafter during the joint
lifetime of the two individuals upon whose lives income payments depend
and continuing during the remaining lifetime of the survivor.
o OTHER SELECTIONS. The Company may offer other selections under the Life
Income Plans.
o LIMITATIONS. A direct or contingent beneficiary who is a natural person
may be paid under a Life Income Plan only if the payments depend on that
beneficiary's life. A corporation may be paid under a Life Income Plan
only if the payments depend on the life of the Annuitant or, after the
death of the Annuitant, on the life of the Annuitant's spouse or
dependent.
These payment plans are available on either a fixed or variable basis. Under a
fixed payment plan the payment remains level. Under a variable payment plan the
payment will increase or decrease as described in Section 11.4.
11.2 ALLOCATION OF BENEFITS
Upon election of a variable payment plan, the Owner or direct or contingent
beneficiary may select the allocation of variable benefits among the Divisions.
If no selection is made, the allocation of benefits will be as follows:
o for amounts in the Separate Account Divisions, benefits will be
allocated in proportion to the Accumulation Value of each Division on
the effective date of the variable payment plan; and
o for amounts in the Guaranteed Interest Fund, benefits will be allocated
100% to the Money Market Division.
11.3 ANNUITY UNITS UNDER VARIABLE PAYMENT PLANS
The interest of this contract in the Separate Account after the effective date
of a variable payment plan is represented by Annuity Units. There may be Class A
Annuity Units and Class B Annuity Units. The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
used to calculate the Net Investment Factor for each class is shown on page 4.
The dollar value of Annuity Units for each Division will increase or decrease to
reflect the investment experience of the Division. The value of an Annuity Unit
on any Valuation Date is the product of:
o the Annuity Unit value on the immediately preceding Valuation Date;
o the Net Investment Factor for the period from the immediately preceding
Valuation Date up to and including the current Valuation Date (the
current period); and
o the Daily Adjustment Factor of .99990575 raised to a power equal to the
number of days in the current period to reflect the Assumed Investment
Rate of 3 1/2% used in calculating the monthly payment rate.
11.4 PAYMENTS UNDER VARIABLE PAYMENT PLANS
FIRST PAYMENT. The first payment under a variable payment plan will be due as of
the effective date of the payment plan.
28
The amount of the first payment is the sum of payments from each Division, each
determined by multiplying the benefits allocated to the Division under the
variable payment plan by the applicable monthly variable payment rate per $1,000
of benefits.
NUMBER OF ANNUITY UNITS. The number of Annuity Units in each Division under a
variable payment plan is determined by dividing the amount of the first payment
payable from the Division by the Annuity Unit value for the Division at the
close of business on the effective date of the variable payment plan. Class A
Accumulation Value purchases Class A Annuity Units and Class B Accumulation
Value purchases Class B Annuity Units. The number of Annuity Units will not be
changed by any subsequent change in the dollar value of Annuity Units.
SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE PAYMENTS. The amount of each subsequent payment from each
Division under a variable payment plan will increase or decrease in accord with
the increase or decrease in the value of an Annuity Unit which reflects the
investment experience of that Division of the Separate Account.
The amount of subsequent variable payments is the sum of payments from each
Division, each determined by multiplying the fixed number of Annuity Units for
the Division by the value of an Annuity Unit for the Division on:
o the fifth Valuation Date prior to the payment due date if the payment
due date is a Valuation Date; or
o the sixth Valuation Date prior to the payment due date if the payment
due date is not a Valuation Date.
11.5 TRANSFERS INVOLVING VARIABLE PAYMENT PLANS
A beneficiary receiving payments under a variable payment plan may transfer
Annuity Units from one Division to another. Any transfers of Class A Annuity
Units purchase Class A Annuity Units. Any transfers of Class B Annuity Units
purchase Class B Annuity Units. The number of Annuity Units in each Division
will be adjusted to reflect the respective value of the Annuity Units in the
Divisions on the date the transfer is effective.
A Transfer Fee may be deducted from the amount transferred. The amount of the
Transfer Fee is shown on page 4. Transfers from the Money Market Division may be
made at any time. No transfer from the other Divisions may be made within 90
days of the effective date of a variable payment plan or within 90 days from the
effective date of the last transfer.
A beneficiary receiving payments under a variable payment plan may transfer from
an Installment Income Plan (Option B) to either form of the Life Income Plan
(Option C or E). Other transfers may be permitted subject to conditions set by
the Company.
29
A transfer will be effective on the Valuation Date on which a satisfactory
transfer request is received in the Home Office, or a later date if requested.
However, the transfer will be effective on the following Valuation Date if the
request is received at the Home Office either:
o on a Valuation Date after the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange; or
o on a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.
11.6 WITHDRAWAL UNDER PAYMENT PLANS
Withdrawal of the present value of any unpaid income payments may be elected at
any time by the beneficiary, except that withdrawal may not be elected under a
Life Income Plan (Option C or E) until the death of all individuals upon whose
lives income payments depend.
The withdrawal value under the Installment Income Plan (Option B) will be the
present value of any unpaid payments, less any applicable Withdrawal Charge
under Section 7.4. The withdrawal value under a Life Income Plan (Option C or E)
will be the present value of any unpaid payments for the certain period with no
Withdrawal Charge.
For a fixed payment plan, the present value of any unpaid income payments will
be based on the rate of interest used to determine the amount of the payments.
For a variable payment plan, the present value of any unpaid income payments
will be based on interest at the Assumed Investment Rate used in calculating the
amount of the variable payments. The amount of variable payments used in
calculating the present value of unpaid payments will be determined by
multiplying the number of Annuity Units by the value of an Annuity Unit on the
effective date of withdrawal.
A withdrawal will be effective on the Valuation Date on which the request is
received in the Home Office. However, the withdrawal will be effective on the
following Valuation Date if the request is received at the Home Office either:
o on a Valuation Date after the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange; or
o on a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.
11.7 NAMING AND CHANGING OF BENEFICIARIES UNDER PAYMENT PLANS
FOR PAYMENT PLANS ELECTED BY OWNER. If the Owner of the contract elected a
payment plan, a direct beneficiary may name and change the contingent
beneficiaries and further payees of the direct beneficiary's share of the
benefits only if:
o the direct beneficiary was the Owner of the contract; or
o no contingent beneficiary or further payee of that share is living.
FOR PAYMENT PLANS ELECTED BY DIRECT BENEFICIARY. If the direct beneficiary
elected the payment plan, the direct beneficiary may name and change the
contingent beneficiaries and further payees of the direct beneficiary's share of
the benefits.
30
11.8 SUCCESSION IN INTEREST OF BENEFICIARIES UNDER PAYMENT PLANS
DIRECT BENEFICIARY. Amounts payable under a payment plan will be payable to the
direct beneficiary.
CONTINGENT BENEFICIARIES. At the death of the direct beneficiary, the present
value of any unpaid payments under a payment plan, will be payable in equal
shares to the contingent beneficiaries who survive and receive payment. If a
contingent beneficiary dies before receiving all or part of the contingent
beneficiary's full share, the unpaid portion will be payable in equal shares to
the other contingent beneficiaries who survive and receive payment.
FURTHER PAYEES. At the death of all direct and contingent beneficiaries, the
present value of any unpaid payments under a payment plan, will be paid in one
sum:
o In equal shares to the further payees who survive and receive payment; or
o If no further payees survive and receive payment, to the estate of the last
to die of all beneficiaries.
11.9 PAYMENT PLAN RATES
PAYMENT RATE TABLES. The guaranteed monthly payment rates for both a fixed
payment plan and the first payment under a variable payment plan are shown in
the Payment Rate Tables. The tables show rates for the Installment Income Plan
for a Specified Period (Option B) and Life Income Plans (Options C and E). Life
Income Plan (Option C or E) rates are based on the sex and adjusted age of any
individual upon whose life payments depend. The adjusted age is:
o the age on the birthday that is nearest to the date on which the payment
plan takes effect; plus
o the age adjustment shown below for the number of Contract Years that
have elapsed from the Issue Date to the date that the payment plan takes
effect. A part of a Contract Year is counted as a full year.
CONTRACT YEARS AGE CONTRACT YEARS
ELAPSED ADJUSTMENT ELAPSED AGE ADJUSTMENT
1 to 8 0 33 to 40 -4
9 to 16 -1 41 to 48 -5
17 to 24 -2 49 or more -6
25 to 32 -3
CURRENT FIXED PAYMENT PLAN RATES
o INSTALLMENT INCOME FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD (OPTION B). The Company may
offer fixed payment plan rates higher than those guaranteed in this
contract with conditions on withdrawal.
o LIFE INCOME PLANS (OPTION C OR E). Payments will be based on rates
declared by the Company that will not be less than the rates guaranteed
in this contract. The declared rates will provide at least as much
income as would the Company's rates, on the date that the payment plan
takes effect, for a single premium immediate annuity contract.
ALTERNATE VARIABLE RATE BASIS. The Company may from time to time publish higher
initial rates for variable payment plans under this contract. These higher rates
will not be available to increase payments under payment plans already in
effect.
31
When a variable payment plan is effective on an alternate rate basis, the Daily
Adjustment Factor described in Section 11.3 will be determined based on the
Assumed Investment Rate used in calculating the alternate payment rate.
