MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: During the Accumulation and Annuity Periods,
the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is equal on an annual basis to [1.20%] of
the average daily net asset value of the Variable Account. We may decrease this
charge, but we may not increase it.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: Equal on an annual basis to [.15%] of the average daily
net asset value of the Variable Account.
DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE CHARGE: [None]
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE: The Contract Maintenance Charge is currently
[$40.00] each Contract Year. The Contract Maintenance Charge will be deducted
from the Contract Value on each Contract Anniversary while this Contract is in
force. However, during the Accumulation Period, if your Contract Value on a
Contract Anniversary is at least [$100,000], then no Contract Maintenance Charge
is deducted. If a total surrender is made on other than a Contract Anniversary
and your Contract Value for the Valuation Period during which the total
surrender is made is less than [$100,000], the full Contract Maintenance Charge
will be deducted at the time of the total surrender. The Contract Maintenance
Charge will be deducted from the Funds [and the Fixed Account] in the same
proportion that the amount of the Contract Value in each Fund [and/or Fixed
Account] bears to the total Contract Value. During the Annuity Period, the
Contract Maintenance Charge will be collected pro rata from each Annuity
Payment. We may decrease this charge, but we may not increase it. In the event
you own more than one Contract, we will determine the total Contract Value for
all of the Contracts. If the total Contract Value is at least [$100,000], we
will not assess the Contract Maintenance Charge. If the Contract Owner is not a
natural person, we will look to the Annuitant in determining the foregoing.

each Contract Year. This applies to transfers prior to and after the
Income Date.
TRANSFER FEE: For each transfer in excess of the Free Transfers
Permitted, the Transfer Fee is the lesser of [$25] or 2% of the amount

will not be counted in determining the application of the Transfer Fee.

Purchase Payment to the Money Market Fund until the expiration of the Right to
Examine period. All allocations of Purchase Payments are subject to the
Allocation Guidelines shown on the Contract Schedule. We guarantee that you will
be allowed to select at least five Funds for allocation of Purchase Payments.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT: The Variable Account is designated on the Contract
Schedule. It consists of assets we have set aside and have kept separate from
the rest of our assets and those of our other separate accounts. The assets of
the Variable Account, equal to reserves and other liabilities of your Contract
and those of other Contract Owners, will not be charged with liabilities arising
out of any other business we may conduct.
The Variable Account assets are divided into Funds. The Funds which are
available under this Contract are listed on the Contract Schedule. The assets of
the Fund are allocated to the Eligible Investments (and/or the Funds, if any,
within an Eligible Investment) shown on the Contract Schedule. We may add
additional Eligible Investments or Funds to those shown. You may be permitted to
transfer your Contract Value or allocate Purchase Payments to the additional
Fund(s). However, the right to make such transfers or allocations will be
limited by any terms and conditions we may impose.
Should the shares of any Eligible Investment(s), or any Fund(s) within an
Eligible Investment, become unavailable for investment by the Variable Account,
or our Board of Directors deems further investment in the shares inappropriate,
we may limit further purchase of such shares or substitute shares of another
Eligible Investment or Fund for shares already purchased.
VALUATION OF ASSETS: Assets of Eligible Investments within each Fund will be
valued at their net asset value on each Valuation Date.
ACCUMULATION UNITS: Accumulation Units shall be used to account for all amounts
allocated to or withdrawn from the Funds of the Variable Account as a result of
Purchase Payments, surrenders, transfers, or fees and charges. We will determine
the number of Accumulation Units of a Sub-Account purchased or canceled. This
will be done by dividing the amount allocated to (or the amount 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 the transaction is processed
at the Valuemark Service Center.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE: The Accumulation Unit Value for each Fund was
arbitrarily set initially at $10. Subsequent Accumulation Unit Values for each
Fund are determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value for the
immediately preceding Valuation Period by the Net Investment Factor for the Fund
for the current period.
The Accumulation Unit value may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to
Valuation Period.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR: The Net Investment Factor for each Fund is determined by
dividing A by B and multiplying by (1 - C) where:
A is (i) the net asset value per share of the Eligible Investment or
the Fund of an Eligible Investment held by the Fund at the end
of the current Valuation Period; plus
(ii) any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of
such Eligible Investment or Fund that has an ex-dividend date
within the current Valuation Period.
B is the net asset value per share of the Eligible Investment or Fund
held by the Fund for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.
C is (i) the Valuation Period equivalent of the daily Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge, for the Administrative Charge and for the
Distribution Expense Charge, if any, which are shown on the
Contract Schedule; plus
(ii) a charge factor, if any, for any taxes or any tax reserve
we have established as a result of the operation or maintenance of
the Fund.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: Each Valuation Period, we deduct a Mortality
and Expense Risk Charge from the Variable Account which is equal, on an annual
basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule. The Mortality and Expense
Risk Charge compensates us for assuming the mortality and expense risks under
this Contract.
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 Contract Schedule. The Administrative Charge compensates us for the
costs associated with the administration of this Contract and the Variable
Account.
DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE CHARGE: Each Valuation Period, we deduct a Distribution
Expense Charge from the Separate Account which is equal, on an annual basis, to
the amount shown on the Contract Schedule. The Distribution Expense Charge
compensates the Company for costs associated with the distribution of Contracts.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE GUARANTEE: We guarantee that the dollar amount of each
annuity payment after the first will not be affected by variations in mortality
or expense experience.
CONTRACT VALUE
The Contract Value for any Valuation Period is equal to the total dollar value
accumulated under this Contract. The Contract Value in a Fund of the Variable
Account is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units allocated
to the Contract Value for the Fund by the Accumulation Unit Value. Purchase
Payments, surrenders and transfers from or to a Fund will result in the addition
of or the cancellation of Accumulation Units in a Fund.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
We deduct an annual Contract Maintenance Charge shown on the Contract Schedule.
Prior to the Income Date, this will be deducted from the Contract Value by
canceling Accumulation Units to reimburse us for expenses relating to
maintenance of this Contract. The number of Accumulation Units to be canceled
will be from each applicable Fund is the ratio that the value of each Fund bears
to the total Contract Value.
TRANSFERS
You may transfer all or a part of your interest in a Fund to another Fund. We
reserve the right to charge for transfers if there are more than the number of
free transfers shown on the Contract Schedule. All transfers are subject to the
following:
1. The deduction of any Transfer Fee that may be imposed as shown on the
Contract Schedule. The Transfer Fee will be deducted from the Fund from
which the transfer is made. If the entire amount in the Fund is
transferred, then the Transfer Fee will be deducted from the amount
transferred. If there are multiple source Funds, it will be treated as a
single transfer. Any Transfer Fee will be deducted proportionally from the
source Funds if less than the entire amount in the Fund is transferred.
2. We reserve the right to limit transfers until the expiration of the Right
to Examine period.
3. The minimum amount which can be transferred is shown on the Contract
Schedule.
4. No transfer will be effective within seven calendar days prior to the date
on which the first Annuity Payment is due.
5. Any transfer direction must clearly specify:
a. the amount which is to be transferred; and
b. the Funds which are to be affected.
6. After the Income Date, transfers may not be made from a fixed annuity
option to a variable annuity option.
7. After the Income Date, you can make at least one transfer from a variable
annuity option to a fixed annuity option. The number of Annuity Units
canceled from the variable annuity option will be equal in value to the
amount of the Annuity Reserve transferred out of the Variable Account. The
amount transferred will purchase fixed annuity payments under the Annuity
Option in effect and based on the age and sex of the Annuitant at the time
of the transfer where allowed.
8. We reserve the right to establish policies that limit or discourage
excessive trading that may be disruptive to the Fund, which may result in
limitations being placed on the Contract Owner's right to make transfers.
9. We reserve the right at any time and without prior notice to any party to
modify the transfer provisions described above. However, if we do modify
these provisions we guarantee that they will not be any more restrictive
than the above.
If you elect to use this transfer privilege, we will not be liable for transfers
made in accordance with your instructions. All amounts and Accumulation Units
will be determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the
request for transfer is received at the Valuemark Service Center.
SURRENDER PROVISIONS
SURRENDERS: During the Accumulation Period, you may, upon Authorized Request,
make a total or partial surrender of the Contract Surrender Value. Surrenders
will result in the cancellation of Accumulation Units from each Fund in the
ratio that the value of each Fund bears to the total Contract Value. You must
specify, by Authorized Request, which Accumulation Units are to be canceled if
other than the above mentioned method of cancellation is desired.
The Company will pay the amount of any surrender from the Variable Account
within seven (7) days of receipt of a request in good order unless the
Suspension or Deferral of Payments Provision is in effect.
Each partial surrender must be for an amount which is not less than the amount
shown on the Contract Schedule. The minimum Contract Value which must remain in
the Contract after a partial surrender is shown on the Contract Schedule.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: Upon a surrender of Contract Value a
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge as set forth on the Contract Schedule be
assessed. Under certain circumstances, we allow surrenders without the
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge as set forth on the Contract Schedule.
PROCEEDS PAYABLE ON DEATH
DEATH OF CONTRACT OWNER DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: Upon the death of the
Contract Owner, or any Joint Owner, during the Accumulation Period, the death
benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Contract Owner.
Upon the death of a Joint Owner, the surviving Joint Owner, if any, will be
treated as the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record
at the time of death will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary.
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: The death benefit will be
the Adjusted Contract Value determined as of the end of the Valuation Period
during which the Company receives both due proof of death and an election for
the payment method.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: Beneficiary may request
that the death benefit be paid under one of the Death Benefit Options below. In
addition, if the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Contract Owner, he or she may
elect to continue the Contract in his or her own name and exercise all the
Contract Owner's rights under the Contract. In this event, the Contract Value
for the Valuation Period during which this election is implemented will be
adjusted to equal the death benefit.
Option A - lump sum payment of the death benefit; or
Option B - the payment of the entire death benefit within 5 years of the
date of the death of the Contract Owner or any Joint Owner; or
Option C - payment of the death benefit under an Annuity Option over the
lifetime of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life
expectancy of the Beneficiary with distribution beginning within one year
of the date of death of the Contract Owner or any Joint Owner.
Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Option C within one year of
the date of the Contract Owners' death, must be distributed within five years of
the date of death.
If a lump sum payment is requested, the amount will be paid within seven (7)
days of receipt of proof of death and the election, unless the Suspension or
Deferral of Payments Provision is in effect.
Payment to the Beneficiary, other than in a lump sum, may only be elected during
the sixty-day period beginning with the date of receipt of proof of death.
DEATH OF CONTRACT OWNER DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD: If you, or any Joint Owner,
dies during the Annuity Period, and you are not an Annuitant, any remaining
payments under the Annuity Option elected will continue at least as rapidly as
under the method of distribution in effect at such Contract Owner's death. Upon
your death during the Annuity Period, the Beneficiary becomes the Contract
Owner.
DEATH OF ANNUITANT: Upon the death of an Annuitant, who is not the Contract
Owner, during the Accumulation Period, you may designate a new Annuitant,
subject to our underwriting rules then in effect. If no designation is made
within 30 days of the death of the Annuitant, you will become the Annuitant. If
the Contract Owner is a non-individual, the death of the Annuitant will be
treated as the death of the Contract Owner and a new Annuitant may not be
designated.
Upon the death of the Annuitant during the Annuity Period, the death benefit, if
any, will be as specified in the Annuity Option elected. Death benefits will be
paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the
Annuitant's death.
PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT: The Company will require due proof of death before any
death benefit is paid. Due proof of death will be:
1. a certified death certificate; or
2. a certified decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
finding of death; or
3. any other proof satisfactory to the Company.
All death benefits will be paid in accordance with applicable law or regulations
governing death benefit payments.
BENEFICIARY: The Beneficiary designation in effect on the Issue Date will remain
in effect until changed. The Beneficiary is entitled to receive the benefits to
be paid at your death.
Unless you provide otherwise, the death benefit will be paid in equal shares to
the survivor(s) as follows:
1. to the primary Beneficiary(ies) who survive you and/or the Annuitant's
death, as applicable; or if there are none
2. to the contingent Beneficiary(ies) who survive you and/or the
Annuitant's death, as applicable; or if there are none
3. to your estate.
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY: Subject to the rights of any irrevocable
Beneficiary(ies),you may change the primary Beneficiary(ies) or contingent
Beneficiary(ies). A change may be made by Authorized Request. The change will
take effect as of the date the Authorized Request is signed. The Company will
not be liable for any payment made or action taken before it records the change.
SUSPENSION OR DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS PROVISION
The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone payments from the Variable
Account for a surrender or transfer for any period when:
1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings);
2. trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
3. an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of securities held
in the Variable Account is not reasonably practicable or it is not
reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Variable
Account's net assets; or
4. during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission,
by order, so permits for the protection of Contract Owners;
provided that applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission will govern as to whether the conditions described in (2) and (3)
exist.
CONTRACT OWNER, ANNUITANT, ASSIGNMENT PROVISIONS
CONTRACT OWNER: As the Contract Owner you have all the interest and rights under
this Contract. The Contract Owner is the person designated as such on the Issue
Date, unless changed.
You may change Owners of the Contract at any time by Authorized Request. A
change of Contract Owner will automatically revoke any prior designation of
Contract Owner. The change will become effective as of the date the Authorized
Request is signed. We will not be liable for any payment made or action taken
before the change is recorded.
JOINT OWNER: A Contract may be owned by Joint Owners. If Joint Owners are named,
any Joint Owner must be the spouse of the other Contract Owner. Upon the death
of either Contract Owner, the surviving spouse will be the primary Beneficiary.
Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary
unless otherwise indicated in an Authorized Request.
ANNUITANT: The Annuitant is the person on whose life Annuity Payments are based.
The Annuitant is the person designated by you subject to our underwriting rules
then in effect. The Annuitant may not be changed in a Contract which is owned by
a non-individual.

specify what part of the Adjusted Contract Value is to be applied to the Fixed
and Variable Annuity Options.

Annuitant's 85th birthday or 10 years from the Issue Date, or the maximum date
permitted under state law. You may, at any time prior to the Income Date, change
the Income Date by Authorized Request 30 days in advance.
SELECTION OF AN OF AN ANNUITY OPTION: You can select an Annuity Option by
Authorized Request. If no Annuity Option is selected, Option 2, with 120 Monthly
Payments Guaranteed, will automatically be applied. You may, at any time prior
to the Income Date, by Authorized Request 30 days in advance, select and/or
change the Annuity Option.
ANNUITY OPTIONS: This Contract provides for Annuity Payments under one of the
Annuity Options described below. Any other Annuity Option acceptable to us may
be selected.
OPTION 1 - LIFE ANNUITY. We will make monthly Annuity Payments during the life
of the Annuitant and ceasing with the last Annuity Payment due prior to the
Annuitant's death.
OPTION 2 - LIFE ANNUITY WITH 60, 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY ANNUITY PAYMENTS
GUARANTEED. We will make monthly Annuity Payments during the life of the
Annuitant with a guarantee that if at the Annuitant's death there have been less
than 60, 120, 180 or 240 monthly Annuity Payments made as selected, monthly
Annuity Payments will continue for the remainder of the guaranteed period. You
may elect to have the present value of the guaranteed monthly Annuity Payments
remaining, as of the date notice of the Annuitant's death is received at the
Valuemark Service Center, commuted at the Assumed Investment Return selected for
a Variable Annuity or for a Fixed Annuity the Statutory Calendar Year Interest
Rate based on the NAIC Standard Valuation Law for Single Premium Immediate
Annuities corresponding to the Income Date. We will require the return of this
Contract and proof of death prior to the payment of any commuted values.
OPTION 3 - JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY. We will make monthly Annuity
Payments during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant.
Upon the death of the Annuitant, if the Joint Annuitant is then living, Annuity
Payments will continue to be paid during the remaining lifetime of the Joint
Annuitant at a level of 100%, 75% or 50% of the previous level, selected.
Monthly Annuity Payments cease with the final Annuity Payment due prior to the
last survivor's death.
OPTION 4 - JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY WITH 120 OR 240 MONTHLY ANNUITY
PAYMENTS GUARANTEED. We will make monthly Annuity Payments during the joint
lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant. Monthly Annuity Payments will
continue to be paid during the remaining lifetime of the Joint Annuitant at 100%
of the previous level, as selected. If at the last death of the Annuitant and
the Joint Annuitant, there have been less than 120 or 240 monthly Annuity
Payments made as selected, monthly Annuity Payments will continue to be made for
the remainder of the guaranteed period. You or your designated payee may elect
to have the present value of the guaranteed monthly Annuity Payments remaining,
as of the date notice of the Annuitant's death is received by us, commuted at
the Assumed Investment Return selected for a Variable Annuity or for a Fixed
Annuity the Statutory Calendar Year Interest Rate based on the NAIC Standard
Valuation Law for Single Premium Immediate Annuities corresponding to the Income
Date. We will require the return of this Contract and proof of death prior to
the payment of any commuted values.
OPTION 5 - REFUND LIFE ANNUITY. We will make monthly Annuity Payments during the
lifetime of the Annuitant ceasing with the last Annuity Payment due prior to the
Annuitant's death with a guarantee that at the Annuitant's death, you will
receive a refund. For a Fixed Annuity the amount of the refund will be any
excess of the amount of the Adjusted Contract Value applied under this Option
over the total of all Annuity Payments made under this Option. For a Variable
Annuity the amount of the refund will be the then dollar value of the number of
Annuity Units equal to (1) the Adjusted Contract Value applied to this Option
divided by the Annuity Unit value used to determine the first Annuity Payment,
minus (2) the product of the number of the Annuity Units represented by each
monthly Annuity Payment and the number of payments made. This calculation will
be based upon the assumption that the allocation of Annuity Units actually
in-force at the time of the Annuitant's death had been the allocation of Annuity
Units at issue and at all times thereafter. If the refund calculated above is
not greater than zero there will be no refund paid.
ANNUITY: If you select a Fixed Annuity, the Adjusted Contract Value is allocated
to the General Account and the Annuity is paid as a Fixed Annuity. If you select
a Variable Annuity, the Adjusted Contract Value will be allocated to the Funds
of the Variable Account in accordance with your selection, and the Annuity will
be paid as a Variable Annuity. Unless you designate another payee, you will be
the payee of the Annuity Payments. The Adjusted Contract Value will be applied
to the applicable Annuity Table contained in this Contract based upon the
Annuity Option you have selected. We may offer more favorable rates than those
guaranteed here at the time your first annuity payment is calculated. Where
permitted, Annuity Payments will depend on the Age and sex of the Annuitant.
FIXED ANNUITY: You may elect to have the Adjusted Contract Value applied to
provide a Fixed Annuity. The dollar amount of each Fixed Annuity Payment shall
be determined in accordance with Annuity Tables contained in this Contract which
are based on the minimum guaranteed interest rate of 2 1/2% per year.

VARIABLE ANNUITY: You may elect to have the Adjusted Contract Value applied to
provide a Variable Annuity. Variable Annuity Payments reflect the investment
performance of the Variable Account in accordance with the allocation of the
Adjusted Contract Value to the Funds during the Annuity Period. Variable Annuity
Payments are not guaranteed as to dollar amount.
On the Income Date a fixed number of Annuity Units will be purchased as follows:
The first Annuity Payment is equal to the Adjusted Contract Value, divided first
by $1000 and then multiplied by the appropriate Annuity Payment amount for each
$1000 of value for the Annuity Option selected. In each Fund the fixed number of
Annuity Units is determined by dividing the amount of the initial Annuity
Payment determined for each Fund by the Annuity Unit value on the Income Date.
Thereafter, the number of Annuity Units in each Fund remains unchanged unless
you elect to transfer between Funds. All calculations will appropriately reflect
the Annuity Payment frequency selected.
On each subsequent Annuity Payment date, the total Annuity Payment is the sum of
the Annuity Payments for each Fund. The Annuity Payment in each Fund is
determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units then allocated to such
Fund by the Annuity Unit value for that Fund.
On each subsequent Valuation Date, the value of an Annuity Unit is determined in
the following way:
First: The Net Investment Factor is determined as described under "Variable
Account - Net Investment Factor" above.
Second: The value of an Annuity Unit for a Valuation Period is equal to:
a. the value of the Annuity Unit for the immediately preceding Valuation
Period;
b. multiplied by the Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation
Period;
c. divided by the Assumed Net Investment Factor (see below) for the
Valuation Period.
The Assumed Net Investment Factor is equal to one plus the Assumed Investment
Return which is used in determining the basis for the purchase of an Annuity,
adjusted to reflect the particular Valuation Period. The Assumed Investment
Return that we will use is 5%. However, we may agree with you to use a different
value.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
THE CONTRACT: The entire Contract consists of this Contract, and any attached
application endorsements or riders. This Contract may be changed or altered only
by our President or Secretary. Any change, modification or waiver must be made
in writing.
NON-PARTICIPATING IN SURPLUS. This Contract does not share in any distribution
of our profits or surplus.
INCONTESTABILITY: We will not contest this Contract from its Issue Date.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX: We may require proof of Age of the Annuitant before
making any life contingent Annuity Payment provided for by this Contract. If the
Age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated the amount payable will be the
amount that the Contract Value would have provided at the true Age or sex.
Once Annuity Payments have begun, any underpayments will be made up in one sum
with the next Annuity Payment, and overpayments will be deducted from the future
Annuity Payments until the total is repaid.
CONTRACT SETTLEMENT: This Contract must be returned to us upon any settlement.
Prior to any settlement as a death claim, due proof of death must be submitted
to us. Any paid-up annuity, cash surrender or death benefits that may be
available are not less than the minimum benefits required by statute.
REPORTS: We will furnish you with a report showing the Contract Value at least
once each calendar year. This report will be sent to your last known address.
TAXES: Any taxes paid to any governmental entity will be charged against the
Contract Value. We will, in our sole discretion, determine when taxes have
resulted from: the investment experience of the Variable Account; receipt by us
of the Purchase Payment(s); or commencement of Annuity Payments. We may, at our
discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the Contract Value at
a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right we may have to
deduct amounts at a later date. 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. We will deduct
for any income taxes incurred by it 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. The Company will deduct any withholding taxes required by applicable
law.
EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL: Where any benefits under this Contract are contingent upon
the recipient being alive on a given date, we may require proof satisfactory to
us that the condition has been met.
PROTECTION OF PROCEEDS: No Beneficiary may commute, encumber, alienate or assign
any payments under this Contract before they are due. To the extent permitted by
law, no payments will be subject to the debts, contracts or engagements of any
Beneficiary or to any judicial process to levy upon or attach the same for
payment thereof.
MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT: This Contract may not be modified by us without your
consent except as may be required by applicable law.
