GENERAL PROVISIONS
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
The initial Purchase Payment is due on the Certificate Date. It must be paid
at Our Office in United States currency. Coverage under a Certificate does
not take effect until We have accepted the initial Purchase Payment during a
Certificate Owner's lifetime. Each Purchase Payment after the Certificate
Date must be at least the amount shown on the Certificate Schedule. Provided
the Certificate Value under a Certificate does not go to zero, a Certificate
will stay in force until the Income Date even if a Certificate Owner make no
payments after the initial one. We reserve the right to reject any
subsequent Purchase Payment.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
An initial Purchase Payment is allocated to the Sub-accounts of the Variable
Account, and to the Fixed Account if available, in accordance with the
selections made by a Certificate Owner at the Certificate Date. Unless
otherwise changed by a Certificate Owner, subsequent Purchase Payments are
allocated in the same manner as the initial Purchase Payment. Allocation of
Purchase Payments is subject to the terms and conditions imposed by Us. We
reserve the right to allocate initial Purchase Payments to the Money Market
Sub-account until the expiration of the Right to Examine Certificate period
set forth on the first page of the Group Contract and the Certificate.
THE CONTRACT
The Group Contract, including the application, if any, and any attached rider
or endorsement constitute the entire contract between the Group Contract
Owner and Us. All statements made by the Group Contract Owner, any
Certificate Owner or any Annuitant will be deemed representations and not
warranties. No such statement will be used in any contest unless it is
contained in the application signed by the Group Contract Owner or in a
written instrument signed by the Certificate Owner, a copy of which has been
furnished to the Certificate Owner, the Beneficiary or to the Group Contract
Owner.
Only Our President or Secretary may agree to change any of the terms of the
Group Contract. Any changes must be in writing. Any
PAGE 6
change to the terms of a Certificate must be in writing and with Certificate
Owner's consent, unless provided otherwise by the Group Contract and the
Certificate.
To assure that the Group Contract and the Certificate will maintain their
status as a variable annuity under the Internal Revenue Code, We reserve the
right to change the Group Contract and any Certificate issued thereunder to
comply with future changes in the Internal Revenue Code, any regulations or
rulings issued thereunder, and any requirements otherwise imposed by the
Internal Revenue Service. The Group Contract Owner and the affected
Certificate Owner will be sent a copy of any such amendment.
We reserve the right, subject to compliance with the law as currently
applicable or subsequently changed, to: (a) operate the Variable Account in
any form permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
(the "1940 Act"), or in any other form permitted by law; (b) take any action
necessary to comply with or obtain and continue any exemptions from the 1940
Act, or to comply with any other applicable law; (c) transfer any assets in
any Sub-account to another Sub-account, or to one or more separate investment
accounts, or the General Account; or to add, combine or remove Sub-accounts
in the Variable Account; and (d) change the way We assess charges, so long as
We do not increase the aggregate amount beyond that currently charged to the
Variable Account and the Eligible Funds in connection with a Certificate. If
the shares of any of the Eligible Funds should become unavailable for
investment by the Variable Account or if in Our judgment further investment
in such Portfolio shares should become inappropriate in view of the purpose
of the Certificate, We may add or substitute shares of another mutual fund
for the Portfolio shares already purchased under the Certificate. No
substitution of Portfolio shares in any Sub-account may take place without
prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and notice to the
affected Certificate Owners, to the extent required by the 1940 Act.
CERTIFICATE OWNER
A Certificate Owner has all rights and may receive all benefits under a
Certificate. A Certificate Owner is the person designated as such on the
Certificate Date, unless changed. A Certificate Owner may exercise all
rights of a Certificate while it is In Force, subject to the rights of (a)
any assignee under an assignment filed with Us, and (b) any irrevocably named
Beneficiary.
PAGE 7
JOINT CERTIFICATE OWNER
A Certificate can be owned by Joint Certificate Owners. Upon the death of
any Certificate Owner or Joint Certificate Owner, the surviving owner(s) will
be the primary Beneficiary(ies). Any other beneficiary designation will be
treated as a Contingent Beneficiary unless otherwise indicated in a Written
Request filed with Us.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the person on whose life Annuity Payments are based. The
Annuitant is the person designated by a Certificate Owner at the Certificate
Date, unless changed prior to the Income Date. Any change of Annuitant is
subject to Our underwriting rules then in effect. The Annuitant may not be
changed in a Certificate which is owned by a non-natural person. A
Certificate Owner may name a Contingent Annuitant. The Contingent Annuitant
becomes the Annuitant if the Annuitant dies while a Certificate is In Force.
If the Annuitant dies and no Contingent Annuitant has been named, We will
allow a Certificate Owner sixty days to designate someone other than the
Certificate Owner as Annuitant. The Certificate Owner will be the Contingent
Annuitant unless the Certificate Owner names someone else. If the Certificate
is owned by a non-natural person, the death of the Annuitant will be treated
as the death of the Certificate Owner and a new Annuitant may not be
designated.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is the person who controls the Certificate if any Certificate
Owner dies prior to the Income Date. If the Certificate is owned by Joint
Certificate Owners, upon the death of any Certificate Owner or Joint
Certificate Owner, the surviving owner(s) will become the primary
Beneficiary. Any other beneficiary designation will be treated as a
Contingent Beneficiary unless otherwise indicated in a Written Request filed
with Us. If a Certificate Owner names more than one Person as Primary
Beneficiary or as Contingent Beneficiary, and does not state otherwise on an
application or in a Written Request to Us, any non-survivors will not receive
a benefit. The survivors will receive equal shares. Subject to the rights
of any irrevocable Beneficiary(ies), a Certificate Owner may change primary
or contingent Beneficiary(ies). A change must be made by Written Request and
will be effective as of the date the Written Request is signed. We will not
be liable for any payment We make or action We take before We receive the
Written Request.
PAGE 8
GROUP CONTRACT OWNER
The Group Contract Owner has title to the Group Contract. The Group Contract
and any amount accumulated under any Certificate are not subject to the
claims of the Group Contract Owner or any of its creditors. The Group
Contract Owner may transfer ownership of this Group Contract. Any transfer
of ownership terminates the interest of any existing Group Contract Owner.
It does not change the rights of any Certificate Owner.
CHANGE OF CERTIFICATE OWNER, BENEFICIARY OR CONTINGENT ANNUITANT
While a Certificate is In Force, a Certificate Owner may by Written Request
change the primary Certificate Owner, Joint Certificate Owner, primary
Beneficiary, Contingent Beneficiary, Contingent Annuitant, or in certain
instances, the Annuitant. An irrevocably named Person may be changed only
with the written consent of such Person. The change will be effective,
following Our receipt of the Written Request, as of the date the Written
Request is signed. The change will not affect any payments We make or actions
We take prior to the time We receive the Written Request.
ASSIGNMENT OF THE CERTIFICATE
A Certificate Owner may assign a Certificate at any time while it is In
Force. The assignment must be in writing and a copy must be filed at Our
Office. A Certificate Owner's rights and those of any revocably named Person
will be subject to the assignment. An assignment will not affect any
payments We make or actions We take before We receive the assignment. We are
not responsible for the validity of any assignment.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Annuitant or any payee has been misstated, We will
compute the amount payable based on the correct age and sex. If Annuity
Payments have begun, any underpayment(s) that have been made will be paid in
full with the next Annuity Payment. Any overpayment, unless repaid to Us in
one sum, will be deducted from future Annuity Payments otherwise due until We
are repaid in full.
NON-PARTICIPATING
A Certificate does not participate in Our divisible surplus.
EVIDENCE OF DEATH, AGE, SEX OR SURVIVAL
If a Certificate provision relates to the death of a natural Person, We will
require proof of death before We will act under
PAGE 9
that provision. Proof of death shall be: (a) a certified death certificate;
or (b) a certified decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
finding of death; or (c) a written statement by a medical doctor who attended
the deceased; or (d) any other document constituting due proof of death under
applicable state law. If Our action under a Certificate provision is based
on the age, sex, or survival of any Person, We may require evidence of the
particular fact before We act under that provision.
PROTECTION OF PROCEEDS
No Beneficiary or payee may commute or assign any payments under a
Certificate before they are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments
shall be subject to the debts of any Beneficiary or payee or to any judicial
process for payment of those debts.
REPORTS
We will send Certificate Owners a report that shows the Certificate Value at
least once each Certificate Year. We will send any other reports that may be
required by law.
TAXES
Any taxes paid to any governmental entity relating to a Certificate will be
deducted from the Purchase Payments or Certificate Value. We may, in Our
sole discretion, delay the deduction until a later date. By not deducting
tax payments at the time of Our payment, We do not waive any right We may
have to deduct amounts at a later date. We will, in Our sole discretion,
determine when taxes relate to a Certificate or to the operation of the
Variable Account. We reserve the right to establish a provision for federal
income taxes if We determine, in Our sole discretion, that We will incur a
tax as a result of the operation of the Variable Account. Such a provision
will be reflected in the Accumulation and Annuity Unit Values. We will
deduct for any income taxes incurred by Us as a result of the operation of
the Variable Account whether or not there was a provision for taxes and
whether or not it was sufficient. We will deduct from any payment under a
Certificate any withholding taxes required by applicable law.
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
All values payable under a Certificate will not be less than the minimum
benefits required by the laws and regulations of the states in which the
Certificate is delivered.
PAGE 10
SUSPENSION OR DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS
We reserve the right to suspend or postpone payments for a withdrawal,
transfer, surrender or death benefit for any period when:
(1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings); or
(2) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; or
(3) an emergency exists as a result of which valuation or disposal of the
assets and securities of the Variable Account is not reasonably
practicable; or
(4) the Securities and Exchange Commission, by order or pronouncement, so
permits for the protection of Certificate Owners;
provided that applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission govern as to whether the conditions described in (2) and (3) above
exist.
We reserve the right to delay payment of amounts allocated to the Fixed
Account for up to six months.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
The Variable Account(s) is designated on the Certificate Schedule and
consists of assets set aside by Us, which are kept separate from Our general
assets and all other variable account assets We maintain. We own the assets
of the Variable Account. Variable Account assets equal to reserves and other
contract liabilities will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of
any other business We may conduct. We may transfer to Our General Account
assets which exceed the reserves and other liabilities of the Variable
Account. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and realized and unrealized gains or losses from assets in
the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the account without
regard to other income, gains or losses in Our other investment accounts.
The Variable Account assets are divided into Sub-accounts. The Sub-accounts
which are available under the Certificate are shown on the Certificate
Schedule. The assets of the Sub-accounts of the unit investment trust
variable separate account are allocated to the Eligible Fund(s) and the
Portfolio(s), if applicable, within an Eligible Fund shown on the Certificate
Schedule. The assets of the
PAGE 11
Sub-accounts of the investment company variable separate account, if
applicable, are invested in portfolios of securities designed to meet the
objectives of the Sub-Account shown on the Certificate Schedule. We may,
from time to time, add additional Sub-accounts, Eligible Funds or Portfolios
to those shown on the Certificate Schedule. A Certificate Owner may be
permitted to transfer Certificate Values or allocate Purchase Payments to the
additional Sub-Accounts, Eligible Funds or Portfolios. However, the right to
make such transfers or allocations will be limited by the terms and
conditions imposed by Us.
We also have the right to eliminate Sub-accounts from the Variable Account,
to combine two or more Sub-accounts or to substitute a new Portfolio for the
Portfolio in which a Sub-account invests. A substitution may become
necessary if, in Our discretion, a Portfolio or Sub-account no longer suits
the purposes of the Group Contract. This may happen: due to a change in
laws or regulations or a change in a Portfolio's investment objectives or
restrictions; because the Portfolio or Sub-account is no longer available for
investment; or for some other reason. We will obtain any prior approvals
that may be required from the insurance department of Our state of domicile,
and from the SEC or any other governmental entity before making such a
substitution.
When permitted by law, We reserve the right to:
(1) Deregister a Variable Account under the 1940 Act;
(2) Operate a Variable Account as a management company under the 1940 Act,
if it is operating as a unit investment trust;
(3) Operate a Variable Account as a unit investment trust under the 1940
Act, if it
is operating as a management company;
(4) Restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to the account;
(5) Combine the Variable Account with any other variable account.
VALUATION OF ASSETS
The assets of the Variable Account are valued at their fair market value in
accordance with Our procedures.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
A Certificate Owner's Variable Account value will fluctuate in accordance
with the investment results of the Sub-accounts to which the Certificate
Owner has allocated his or her Purchase Payments or Certificate Value. In
order to determine how these fluctuations
PAGE 12
affect a Certificate Owner's Certificate Value, We use an Accumulation Unit
value. Accumulation Units are used to account for all amounts allocated to
or withdrawn from the Sub-accounts of the Variable Account as a result of
Purchase Payments, partial withdrawals, transfers, or charges deducted from
the Certificate Value. We determine the number of Accumulation Units of a
Sub-account purchased or cancelled by dividing the amount allocated to, or
withdrawn from, the Sub-account by the dollar value of one Accumulation Unit
of the Sub-account as of the end of the Valuation Period during which We
receive the request for the transaction.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The Accumulation Unit Value for each Sub-account was initially set at $10.
Subsequent Accumulation Unit Values for each Sub-account are determined by
multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value for the immediately preceding
Valuation Period by a net investment factor for the Sub-account for the
current period. This factor may be greater or less than 1.0; therefore, the
Accumulation Unit Value may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to
Valuation Period.
We calculate the net investment factor for each Sub-account investing in
shares of mutual funds by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) where:
(a) is equal to:
(i) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio in which the Sub-
account invests at the end of the Valuation Period; plus
(ii) any dividend per share declared for the Portfolio that has an ex-
dividend date within the current Valuation Period.
(b) is the net asset value per share of the Portfolio at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period.
(c) is equal to:
(i) the sum of each Valuation Period equivalent of the annual rate
for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, for the Administrative
Charge, and for the Distribution Charge, if any, which are shown
on the Certificate Schedule; plus
(ii) a charge factor, if any, for any tax provision established by Us
a result of the operation of the Sub-account.
We calculate the net investment factor for each Sub-account investing
directly in securities with the same formula, except:
PAGE 13
(a) is equal to:
(i) the value of the assets in the Sub-account at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period; plus
(ii) any investment income and capital gains, realized or unrealized,
credited to the assets during the current Valuation Period; less
(iii)any capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged against the
assets during the current Valuation Period; less
(iv) all operating and investment expenses relating to the assets that
are incurred during the current Valuation Period.
(b) is the value of the assets in the Sub-account at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
Each Valuation Period We deduct a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge from each
Sub-account of the Variable Account which is equal, on an annual basis, to
the amount shown on the Certificate Schedule. The Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge compensates Us for assuming the mortality and expense risks with
respect to the Certificates We issue. We guarantee the dollar amount of each
Annuity Payment after the first Annuity Payment will not be affected by
variations in mortality or expense experience.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
Each Valuation Period We deduct an Administrative Charge from the Variable
Account which is equal, on an annual basis, to the amount shown on the
Certificate Schedule. The Administrative Charge compensates Us for the costs
associated with administration of the Variable Account and the Certificates
We issue.
DISTRIBUTION CHARGE
Each Valuation Period We deduct a Distribution Charge from the Variable
Account which is equal, on an annual basis, to the amount shown on the
Certificate Schedule. The Distribution Charge compensates Us for the costs
associated with the distribution of the Certificates We issue.
CERTIFICATE MAINTENANCE CHARGE
We deduct a Certificate Maintenance Charge from the Certificate Value by
cancelling Accumulation Units from each applicable Sub-account to reimburse
Us for expenses relating to the maintenance of the Certificate. We will
deduct the Certificate Maintenance
PAGE 14
Charge from the Sub-accounts of the Variable Account in the same proportion
that the amount of Certificate Value in each Sub-account bears to the
Certificate Value. The Certificate Maintenance Charge is shown on the
Certificate Schedule. The Certificate Maintenance Charge will be deducted
from the Certificate Value on each Certificate Anniversary during the
Accumulation Period.
If a total surrender is made on a date other than a Certificate Anniversary,
the Certificate Maintenance Charge will be deducted at the time of surrender.
During the Annuity Period, the Certificate Maintenance Charge will be
deducted on a pro-rata basis from each Annuity Payment.
TRANSFERS
TRANSFERS: Subject to any limitation We impose on the number of transfers
permitted in a Certificate Year, a Certificate Owner may transfer all or part
of Certificate Owner's Certificate Value among the Sub-accounts and the Fixed
Account, if any, by Written Request or by telephone without the imposition of
any fees or charges. Transfers among the Sub-accounts and the Fixed Account
are permitted only during the Accumulation Period. The number of permitted
transfers, and the charge for transfers in excess of that number, are shown
on the Certificate Schedule. All transfers are subject to the following:
(1) If more than the number of free transfers, shown on the Certificate
Schedule, are made in a Certificate Year, We will deduct a transfer charge,
shown on the Certificate Schedule, for each subsequent transfer. The
transfer fee will be deducted from the Sub-account from which the transfer is
made. However, if Certificate Owner transfers his or her entire interest in a
Sub-account, the transfer fee will be deducted from the amount transferred.
If a Certificate Owner makes a transfer from more than one Sub-account, any
transfer fee will be allocated pro-rata among such Sub-accounts in proportion
to the amount transferred from each.
(2) During the Annuity Period, transfers of values between Sub-accounts
will be made by converting the number of Annuity Units being transferred to
the number of Annuity Units in the Sub-account to which a transfer is made,
so that the next Annuity Payment, if it were made at that time, would be the
same amount that it would have been without the transfer. Thereafter,
Annuity Payments will reflect changes in the value of the new Annuity Units.
(3) The minimum amount which can be transferred is shown on the
Certificate Schedule. The minimum amount which must remain
PAGE 15
in a Sub-account after a transfer is shown on the Certificate Schedule.
(4) If 100% of the value of any Sub-account is transferred and the
current allocation for Purchase Payments includes that Sub-account, the
allocation for future Purchase Payments will change to reflect a Certificate
Owner's allocation of Certificate Value following the transfer.
(5) We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice to any
party, to terminate, suspend or modify the transfer privileges described
above.
We will not be liable for transfers made in accordance with a Certificate
Owner's instructions. All amounts and Accumulation Units will be determined
as of the end of the Valuation Period in which We receive the request for
transfer.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND TOTAL SURRENDER
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
During the Accumulation Period while the Certificate is In Force, a
Certificate Owner may, upon Written Request, make a partial withdrawal,
subject to the provisions and limitations shown on the Certificate Schedule.
For purposes of determining whether a Surrender Charge is applicable to a
partial withdrawal:
(1) A partial withdrawal will first be taken from the portion of a
Certificate Owner's Certificate Value which is in excess of Purchase
Payments, and then from Purchase Payments; and
(2) We will allocate partial withdrawals to Purchase Payments in the
order inwhich the Purchase Payments were made, starting with the first.
A withdrawal will result in the cancellation of Accumulation Units from each
applicable Sub-account in the ratio that a Certificate Owner's interest in
the Sub-account bears to his or her Certificate Value in all the
Sub-accounts. A Certificate Owner must specify by Written Request in advance
if he or she wants Accumulation Units to be cancelled in a manner other than
the method described above. If there is no value or insufficient value in
the Variable Account, then the amount withdrawn, or the insufficient portion,
will be deducted from the Fixed Account. If a Certificate Owner has multiple
Guarantee Periods, We will deduct such amount from each Guarantee Period's
values in the ratio that each Period's values bears to the total Fixed
Account Value. A Certificate Owner must
PAGE 16
specify by Written Request in advance if he or she wants multiple Guarantee
Periods to be reduced in a manner other than the method described above.
Each partial withdrawal must be for an amount not less than the amount shown
on the Certificate Schedule. The Certificate Value which must remain in a
Certificate is shown on the Certificate Schedule. The Certificate Schedule
also shows any charge.
TOTAL SURRENDER
During the Accumulation Period while the Certificate is In Force, a
Certificate Owner may, upon Written Request, make a total surrender of the
Certificate Withdrawal Value. The Certificate Withdrawal Value is:
(1) the Certificate Value as of the end of the Valuation Period during
which We receive a Written Request for a withdrawal or surrender; less
(2) any applicable taxes not previously deducted; less
(3) any Surrender Charge; less
(4) any Certificate Maintenance Charge.
We will pay the amount of any withdrawal or surrender within seven days
unless the Suspension or Deferral of Payments Provision is in effect.
DEATH PROVISIONS
DEATH OF CERTIFICATE OWNER
These provisions apply if, during the Accumulation Period while the
Certificate is In Force, the Certificate Owner or any Joint Certificate Owner
dies (whether or not the decedent is also the Annuitant) or the Annuitant
dies under a Certificate owned by a non-natural Person. The "designated
beneficiary" will control the Certificate after such a death. This
"designated beneficiary" will be the first Person among the following who is
alive on the date of death: Certificate Owner; Joint Certificate Owner;
primary Beneficiary; Contingent Beneficiary; and Certificate Owner's estate.
If the Certificate Owner and Joint Certificate Owner are both alive, they
shall be the "designated beneficiary" together.
IF THE DECEDENT'S SURVIVING SPOUSE (IF ANY) IS THE SOLE "DESIGNATED
BENEFICIARY", the surviving spouse will automatically become the
PAGE 17
new sole Certificate Owner as of the date of the death. And, if the
Annuitant is the decedent, the new Annuitant will be any living Contingent
Annuitant, otherwise the surviving spouse. The Certificate may stay in force
until another death occurs (i.e., until the death of the Certificate Owner or
Joint Certificate Owner). Except for this paragraph, all of "Death
Provisions" will apply to that subsequent death.
IN ALL OTHER CASES, the Certificate may stay in force up to five years from
the date of death. During this period, the "designated beneficiary" may
exercise all ownership rights, including the right to make transfers or
partial withdrawals or the right to surrender the Certificate for its
Certificate Withdrawal Value. If this Certificate is still in force at the
end of the five-year period, We will automatically end it then by paying to
the "designated beneficiary" the Certificate Withdrawal Value without the
deduction of any applicable Surrender Charges. If the "designated
beneficiary" is not alive then, We will pay any Person(s) named by the
"designated beneficiary" in a Written Request; otherwise the "designated
beneficiary's" estate.
DEATH OF ANNUITANT
These provisions apply if during the Accumulation Period while the
Certificate is In Force, (a) the Annuitant dies, (b) the Annuitant is not an
Owner, and (c) the Owner is a natural person. The Certificate will continue
In Force after the Annuitant's death. The new Annuitant will be any living
Contingent Annuitant, otherwise the Certificate Owner.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Instead of receiving a lump sum, a Certificate Owner or any "designated
beneficiary" may by Written Request direct that We pay any benefit of $5,000
or more under an Annuity Option that meets the following: (a) the first
payment to the "designated beneficiary" must be made no later than one year
after the date of death; (b) payments must be made over the life of the
"designated beneficiary" or over a period not extending beyond that person's
life expectancy; and (c) any Annuity Option that provides for payments to
continue after the death of the "designated beneficiary" will not allow the
successor payee to extend the period of time over which the remaining
payments are to be made.
PAGE 18
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
GENERAL
If the Certificate is In Force on the Income Date, the Adjusted Certificate
Value will be applied under the Annuity Option selected by a Certificate
Owner. Annuity Payments may be made on a fixed or variable basis or both.
INCOME DATE
The Income Date may be selected by a Certificate Owner. It is shown on the
Certificate Schedule. The Income Date can be any time after the Certificate
Date for variable payments and any time after the first Certificate
Anniversary for fixed payments. The Income Date may not be later than the
earlier of when the Annuitant reaches attained age 90 or that required under
state law. If no Income Date is selected, it will be the earlier of when the
Annuitant reaches attained age 90 or the maximum date permitted under state
law, if any.
Prior to the Income Date, a Certificate Owner may change the Income Date by
Written Request. Any change must be requested at least 30 days prior to the
new Income Date.
SELECTION OF AN ANNUITY OPTION
An Annuity Option may be selected by a Certificate Owner. If no Annuity
Option is selected, Option B will automatically be applied. Prior to the
Income Date, a Certificate Owner can change the Annuity Option selected by
Written Request. Any change must be requested at least 30 days prior to the
Income Date.
FREQUENCY AND AMOUNT OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Annuity Payments are paid in monthly installments unless quarterly,
semi-annual or annual payments are chosen. The Adjusted Certificate Value is
applied to the Annuity Table for the Annuity Option selected. If the
Adjusted Certificate Value to be applied under an Annuity Option is less than
$5,000, We reserve the right to make a lump sum payment in lieu of Annuity
Payments. If the Annuity Payment would be or becomes less than $100, We will
reduce the frequency of payments to a longer interval which will result in
each payment being at least $100.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
The following Annuity Options or any other Annuity Option acceptable to Us
may be selected:
PAGE 19
OPTION A. ANNUITY FOR A FIXED NUMBER OF YEARS: Annuity Payments for a
chosen number of years, not less than 5. If the payee dies during the
payment period and the Beneficiary does not desire payments to continue for
the remainder of the period, he/she may elect to have the present value of
the remaining payments commuted and paid in a lump sum. During the payment
period of a Variable Annuity, the payee may elect by Written Request to
receive the following amount: (a) the present value of the remaining
payments commuted; less (b) any Surrender Charge that may be due by
treating the value defined in (a) as a surrender. Instead of receiving a
lump sum, the payee may elect another Annuity Option. The amount applied
to that Option would not be reduced by the charge defined in (b).
OPTION B. LIFE ANNUITY WITH PERIOD CERTAIN OF 10 YEARS: Annuity Payments
during the lifetime of the payee and in any event for 10 years certain. If
the payee dies during the guaranteed payment period and the Beneficiary
does not desire payments to continue for the remainder of the guaranteed
period, he/she may elect to have the present value of the guaranteed
payments remaining commuted and paid in a lump sum.
OPTION C. JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY: Annuity Payments payable during the
joint lifetime of the payee and a designated second natural person and then
during the lifetime of the survivor.
Unless the Annuity Option provides for commutation by the payee, a payee may
not withdraw or otherwise end an Annuity Option after it begins. Payments
will end upon the payee's death unless the Annuity Option provides for
payments continuing to a successor payee. No successor payee may extend the
period of time over which the remaining payments are to be made.
ANNUITY
If a Certificate Owner selects a Fixed Annuity, the Adjusted Certificate
Value is allocated to the General Account and the Annuity is paid as a Fixed
Annuity. If the Certificate Owner selects a Variable Annuity, the Adjusted
Certificate Value will be allocated to the Sub-accounts of the Separate
Account in accordance with the selection he or she makes, and the Annuity
will be paid as a Variable Annuity. A Certificate Owner can also select a
combination of a Fixed and Variable Annuity and the Adjusted Certificate
Value will be allocated accordingly. If a Certificate Owner does not select
between a Fixed Annuity and a Variable Annuity, any Adjusted Certificate
Value in the Variable Account will be applied to a Variable Annuity and any
Adjusted Certificate Value in the Fixed Account will be applied to a Fixed
Annuity.
PAGE 20
The Adjusted Certificate Value will be applied to the applicable Annuity
Table contained in the Certificate based upon the Annuity Option a
Certificate Owner selects. If, as of the Income Date, the current Annuity
Option rates applicable to the class of Certificates issued under the Group
Contract provide an initial Annuity Payment greater than the initial Annuity
Payment guaranteed under the applicable Annuity Table in the Certificate, the
greater payment will be made.
FIXED ANNUITY
The minimum dollar amount of each Fixed Annuity Payment for each $1,000 of
Adjusted Certificate Value is shown in the Annuity Tables. After the initial
Fixed Annuity payment, the payments will not change regardless of investment,
mortality or expense experience.
VARIABLE ANNUITY
Variable Annuity Payments reflect the investment performance of the Variable
Account in accordance with the allocation of the Adjusted Certificate Value
to the Sub-accounts during the Annuity Period. Variable Annuity payments are
not guaranteed as to dollar amount.
The dollar amount of the first Variable Annuity payment for each $1,000 of
Adjusted Certificate Value is shown in the Annuity Tables. The dollar amount
of Variable Annuity payments for each applicable Sub-account after the first
Variable Annuity Payment is determined as follows:
(1) the dollar amount of the first Variable Annuity payment is divided by
the value of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Sub-account as of the
Income Date. This sets the number of Annuity Units for each monthly
payment for the applicable Sub-account. The number of Annuity Units
for each applicable Sub-account remains fixed during the Annuity
Period;
(2) the fixed number of Annuity Units per payment in each Sub-account is
multiplied by the Annuity Unit Value for that Sub-account for the
Valuation Period for which the payment is due. This result is the
dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Sub-account.
The total dollar amount of each Variable Annuity payment is the sum of all
Sub-account Variable Annuity payments reduced by the applicable portion of
the Certificate Maintenance Charge.
PAGE 21
ANNUITY UNIT
The value of any Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account of the Separate Account
was initially set at $10.
The Sub-account Annuity Unit Value at the end of any subsequent Valuation
Period is determined as follows:
(1) the net investment factor calculated as set forth on pages 11-12 (but
without the Distribution Charge, if any) for the current Valuation
Period is multiplied by the value of the Annuity Unit for the Sub-
account for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.
(2) the result in (1) is then divided by the Assumed Investment Rate
Factor which equals 1.00 plus the Valuation Period equivalent of the
Assumed Investment Rate for the number of days in the current
Valuation Period. The Assumed Investment Rate is equal to 6% per year.
The value of an Annuity Unit may increase or decrease from Valuation Period
to Valuation Period.
USING THE TABLES
Tables 2, 3, 5, and 6 are age-dependent. The amount of the first annuity
payment will be based on an age a specified number of years younger than the
person's then-attained age (i.e., age last birthday). This age setback is as
follows:
DATE OF FIRST PAYMENT AGE SETBACK
--------------------- -----------
1996-1999 1 year
2000-2009 2 years
2010-2019 4 years
2020-2029 5 years
2030 or later 6 years
We will calculate the amount for a payment frequency other than monthly and
for any ages not shown in Tables 2, 3, 5, and 6 in accordance with the next
section. Upon request, We will tell a Certificate Owner any such amount.
PAGE 22
BASIS OF CALCULATION
Tables 1 and 4 are based on interest at 6% and 3%, respectively. Tables 2,
3, 5, and 6 are based on the 1983 Individual Annuity Valuation Tables,
weighted 40% male and 60% female, with interest at 6% (Tables 2 and 3) and 3%
(Tables 5 and 6), projected dynamically with Projection Scale G.
