2.06 VARIABLE AND FIXED DOLLAR ANNUITIES
(a) Variable Annuity--A variable annuity is an annuity with payments
varying in amount in accordance with the net investment result of the
Separate Account. A number of Separate Account annuity units is determined
by dividing the first monthly payment, determined as described in Section
2.05, by the Separate Account annuity unit value at the Annuity
Commencement Date. The number of such annuity units remains unchanged
during the period of Annuity Payments.
The dollar amount of the second and subsequent payments is not
predetermined, and may change from month to month. The dollar amount of
each such payment is determined by multiplying the number of Separate
Account annuity units by the Separate Account annuity unit value at the due
date of such payment.
Page 7
(16105 Rev. 3-70)
Minnesota Mutual guarantees that the dollar amount of each payment after
the first will not be affected by adverse mortality experience or by an
increase in Minnesota Mutual's expenses in excess of the expense deductions
provided for in the contract.
(b) Fixed Dollar Annuity--A fixed dollar annuity is an annuity payable
from the General Account, with payments which remain fixed as to dollar
amount throughout the period of Annuity Payments. A number of General
Account annuity units is determined when payments commence, but the General
Account annuity unit value is always $1.00. The number of such annuity
units remains unchanged during the period of Annuity Payments.
2.07 ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY
Unless Minnesota Mutual shall be notified in writing to the contrary by the
Owner at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, General Account
accumulation units will be applied to provide a fixed dollar annuity and
Separate Account accumulation units will be applied to provide a variable
annuity.
2.08 LUMP SUM SETTLEMENT
By written notice to Minnesota Mutual by the Owner at least 30 days prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date, a lump sum settlement of the Accumulation Value may
be elected in lieu of the application of such value to provide Annuity Payments
under an Optional Annuity Form. After such lump sum settlement has been made,
the Participant shall have no further rights under this contract.
SECTION 3. PURCHASE PAYMENTS
3.01 AMOUNT OF PURCHASE PAYMENT
Each Contract Year Minnesota Mutual shall receive at its Home Office such
purchase payments as are made under the contract. Such purchase payments will
be applied by Minnesota Mutual to provide accumulation units for the Annuitant
in accordance with Section 3.03.
Each purchase payment must be at least $10 if all of such purchase payment will
be allocated, pursuant to Section 3.02, either to the General Account or the
Separate Account, or must be at least $10 for each account if such purchase
payment will be allocated, pursuant to Section 3.02, to both the General Account
and the Separate Account.
Minnesota Mutual may limit the maximum purchase payments which will be accepted
under the contract for any Contract Year to the greater of (a) the purchase
payments made under the contract for the immediately preceding Contract Year, or
(b) the average purchase payments made under the contract for all prior Contract
Years.
Page 8
(16105 Rev. 3-70)
3.02 ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
The initial allocation of purchase payments to the General Account or the
Separate Account shall be as specified in the application. Such allocation may
be changed as to future purchase payments by written notice to Minnesota Mutual
by the Owner, provided such notice is received by Minnesota Mutual at its Home
Office on or prior to the date of receipt of such purchase payments.
3.03 APPLICATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Deductions totaling 7% plus any applicable premium taxes on the purchase
payments shall be made by Minnesota Mutual from each purchase payment received.
The balance of each purchase payment remaining after these deductions is
hereinafter called the net purchase payment. Minnesota Mutual shall determine
the number of accumulation units provided by the net purchase payment by the
then current accumulation unit value. Such determination shall be made as of
the Valuation Date coincident with or next following the date on which such
purchase payment is received by Minnesota Mutual at its Home Office, and shall
be made separately for net purchase payments allocated to the General Account
and the Separate Account. the number of accumulation units so determined shall
not be affected by any subsequent change in the accumulation unit value. The
General Account accumulation unit value will increase at the net investment rate
specified in Section 4.01(a), but the Separate Account accumulation unit value
may vary from period to period.
SECTION 4. VALUATION
4.01 NET INVESTMENT RATE AND NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
(a) The General Account net investment rate for each valuation period
shall not be less than the equivalent of an investment rate of 4 1/2%
compounded annually during the first 5 Contract Years, 4% compounded
annually during the 6th through 10th Contract Years, and 3 1/2% compounded
annually thereafter.
(b) The Separate Account net investment rate for any valuation period is
equal to the gross investment rate expressed in decimal form to six places,
less a deduction of not more than .0106 per annum. the amount of the
deduction may be changed from time to time by Minnesota Mutual, but not
more often than annually, and in no event will the deduction exceed .0106
per annum. Such gross investment rate is equal to (1) the investment
income and capital gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, on the
assets of the Separate Account during such valuation period, less a
deduction for any applicable income taxes arising from such income and
realized and unrealized capital gains, divided by (2) the value of such
assets at the beginning of the valuation period. Such gross investment
rate may be either positive or negative.
(c) The net investment factor for each Account is the sum of 1.000000 plus
the net investment rate for the Account.
Page 9
(16105 Rev. 3-70)
4.02 ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The General Account and Separate Account accumulation unit values were set at
$1.000000 on the first Valuation Date of the Separate Account. The respective
accumulation unit values in each Account on any subsequent Valuation Date are
determined by multiplying the accumulation unit value on the immediately
preceding Valuation Date by the net investment factor for that Account for the
valuation period just ended. The accumulation unit value as of any date other
than a Valuation Date is equal to its value on the next succeeding Valuation
Date.
4.03 ANNUITY UNIT VALUE
The value of a General Account annuity unit will always be $1.00. the value of
a Separate Account annuity unit is determined monthly as of the first day of
each month. The value of a Separate Account annuity unit on the first day of
each month is equal to its value on the first day of the preceding month
multiplied by the product of (a) .997137, and (b) the ratio of the Separate
Account accumulation unit value for the valuation Date next following the
fourteenth day of the preceding month to the corresponding accumulation unit
value for the Valuation Date next following the fourteenth day of the second
preceding month. The value of an annuity unit on any date other than the first
day of a month is equal to its value on the first day of the next succeeding
month.
4.04 ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Accumulation Value as of any Valuation Date is equal to the product of (a)
the Individual Account, and (b) the accumulation unit value. Such calculation
shall be made separately for the portions of the Individual Account made up on
General Account and Separate Account accumulation units. The applicable General
Account or Separate Account accumulation unit value is the accumulation unit
value calculated for the Valuation Date as of which the Accumulation Value is
being determined; provided, however that for purposes of determining the monthly
Annuity Payment pursuant to Section 2.05, the applicable accumulation unit value
is the value on the Valuation Date next following the fourteenth day of the
month preceding the Annuity Commencement Date.
4.05 VALUATION OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS
The valuation of all assets in the Separate Account shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the rules and regulations of the Separate
Account.
SECTION 5. DEATH AND OTHER TERMINATION BENEFITS
5.01 DEATH BENEFITS
In the event of the death of the Participant prior to his Annuity Commencement
Date, the beneficiary of the Participant will receive as a death benefit the
Accumulation Value determined as of the valuation Date coincident with or next
following the date due proof of death is received by Minnesota Mutual at its
Home Office. The death benefit will be paid in a single sum; or, at the option
of the beneficiary, may be applied under Option 1, Option 2, or Option 4, of the
Page 10
(16105 Rev. 3-70)
Optional Annuity Forms specified in Section 2.04, subject to the minimum payment
requirements of Section 2.03.
5.02 CASH SURRENDER
Upon written request by the Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, all or
a portion of the Accumulation Value, determined as of the Valuation Date
coincident with or next following the date such written request is received by
Minnesota Mutual at its Home Office, shall be paid to the Owner in a single sum.
The contract must be surrendered, and must accompany such written request if the
entire Accumulation Value is to be paid. No partial withdrawal of the
Accumulation Value will be allowed for an amount of less than $250. In the
event of any withdrawal, that portion of the Individual Account having an
Accumulation Value equal to the dollar amount withdrawn shall be cancelled.
5.03 DISCONTINUANCE OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Purchase payments may be discontinued under either of the following
circumstances:
(1) The owner may discontinue purchase payments as of a date specified in
a written notice to Minnesota Mutual at its Home Office, provided that such
date may not be earlier than the date of receipt of such notice by
Minnesota Mutual.
(2) Minnesota Mutual may discontinue acceptance of purchase payments as of
a date specified in a written notice to the Owner if the contract is no
longer part of a plan qualified under Section 401 (a), 403(a), 403(b), or
other provision of the Internal Revenue Code allowing similar tax
treatment.
Upon discontinuance of purchase payments, the Individual Account shall
remain under the contract for application of the Accumulation Value thereof
to provide Annuity Payments at the annuity Commencement Date under the
provisions of Section 2. Purchase payments may be resumed at any date
prior to the Annuity Commencement Date unless the contract has previously
been surrendered and the Accumulation Value paid in cash.
SECTION 6. GENERAL PROVISIONS

law or government regulation.
No person except the President, a Vice President, the Secretary, or an Assistant
Secretary of Minnesota Mutual has authority on behalf of Minnesota Mutual to

the date the notice was signed, subject to any payment made by Minnesota Mutual
before recording the change.
The interest of any beneficiary who dies before the Participant shall terminate
at the death of that beneficiary. If the interest of all designated
beneficiaries has terminated, any proceeds payable at the Participant's death
shall be paid to the persons who, by evidence satisfactory to Minnesota Mutual,
appear to be the lawful children of the Participant. The proceeds shall be
divided equally among those children. If no child is living, the proceeds shall
be payable to the Participant's estate. "Child" and "children" refer only to
the first generation.
