PREMIUM PAYMENT
Your Premium Payment is shown on the Contract Schedule. The Premium is used to
purchase the selected Annuity Benefit, to commence on the indicated Annuity
Date. We will only be liable for those Annuity Benefits for which the
appropriate Premium has been duly received.
DEATH PRIOR TO ANNUITY DATE
If neither the Annuitant nor the Survivor, if any, is alive on the Annuity Date,
a refund with respect to the Annuity Contract will be payable to You or , if You
are not living, to Your estate. The refund will be equal to the Premium paid in
consideration for the Annuity Contract less any payments which have been made,
and shall be payable once We receive a notification of death acceptable to Us.
In the event an Annuitant dies after the Annuity Date, any remaining Annuity
Benefit will be paid in accordance with the terms of this Annuity Contract. We
may require a death certificate, physician's written statement certifying the
death of the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant, if any, or any other reasonable
evidence to constitute proof of death. Any death benefit paid by Us in good
faith in accordance with the terms of this Annuity Contract shall, to the extent
of such death benefit, fully discharge Us from any further liability.
BENEFICIARIES
Unless the Beneficiaries have been designated as irrevocable, the Beneficiaries
may be changed at any time by submitting a written notice to Us. Prior to the
Annuity Date You may name the Beneficiaries. After that date the Annuitant may
name or change the Beneficiaries. If a Beneficiary has been designated as
irrevocable, the Beneficiary's consent is needed for a change of Beneficiary. A
change of Beneficiary will take effect as of the date the written notice is
signed. However, the change will not affect any Annuity Benefit paid or action
taken before the change is recorded at Our Administrative Office. If the
Annuitant dies and there is no living Survivor, any death benefit will first be
payable to the most recently designated primary Beneficiary, and if such
Beneficiary is deceased, then to the most recently designated secondary
Beneficiary. If no Beneficiary is named or if no named Beneficiary survives the
Annuitant, any death benefit will be payable to the Annuitant's estate.
PAYMENT OF ANNUITY BENEFITS
The amount of the Annuity Benefit will be paid periodically to the Annuitant, in
the frequency shown on the Contract Schedule page, beginning on the Annuity
Date, in accordance with the Type Of Annuity selected on the Application.
However, if such periodic Annuity Benefit is less than $50, We shall have the
right at any time to pay such Annuity Benefit less frequently, in advance, but
in no event less frequently than annually.
FACILITY OF PAYMENT
If any Payee who is receiving an Annuity Benefit under this Contract is adjudged
to be legally, physically or mentally, incapable or incompetent, We may pay such
Annuity Benefit to the legal guardian or other legal representative of such
person. Any such payment shall constitute a full discharge of Our obligation to
the extent thereof.
16EIAN0403WA 5
ASSIGNMENT
Unless prohibited by the terms of this Annuity Contract or by law, the Payee may
assign any or all payments provided under this Annuity Contract. We will not be
bound by any assignment of this Annuity Contract unless the assignment is
received in writing at Our Administrative Office. We are not responsible for the
validity of such assignments. The rights of the Payee and those of any
Beneficiary (except an irrevocable Beneficiary) will be subject to the
assignment. An assignment will not affect any payments We may make or actions We
may take before such assignment has been recorded at Our Administrative Office.
Adverse federal income tax consequences may result from an assignment.
INFORMATION WE REQUIRE
We may require proof of the age and sex of the Annuitant and the Joint
Annuitant, if any, before making any annuity income payments. We have the right
to rely and act on such information in the administration of this Annuity
Contract. If the age, sex or any other relevant fact has been misstated with
respect to a person for whom an Annuity Benefit is measured, an equitable
adjustment will be made. In no event shall We be liable for any greater Annuity
Benefit with respect to an Annuitant than that which would be payable based on
the correct information and the Premium We received for such Annuity Benefit.
EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL
We retain the right to require due proof of any Payee's survival when an Annuity
Benefit is contingent upon survival of the Payee. Further, the Payee, for
himself, his heirs, and successors represents by negotiation of Our check or
bank draft that the Payee is living on the date any Annuity Benefit payment is
made.
MISSTATEMENTS
If the term or the amount of any Annuity Benefit provided under this Annuity
Contract, issued in accordance with the Contract, is incorrect due to clerical
error or due to a misstatement of any fact pertaining to the Annuity Benefit,
such Annuity Benefit will be adjusted in accordance with the correct data.
