MARKET VALUE ADJUSTED GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT (MVA)
The MVA account provides four choices of interest rate guarantee periods;
3-year, 5-year, 7-year, and 10-year. The MVA account is accounted for as a
non-unitized separate account established by Our company under Connecticut Law.
All income, gains and losses, realized and unrealized, of the MVA Account are
credited to or charged against the amounts placed in the MVA Account without
reference to other income, gains and losses of Our General Account. The assets
of the MVA Account are owned solely by Us and We are not a trustee with respect
to such assets. These assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of
any other business that We may conduct. We will credit interest daily on any
amounts held under the MVA account at such rates as We shall determine but in no
event will the effective annual rate of interest be less than 3%. At least
monthly, We will set the interest rate that will apply to any premium made to
the MVA. That rate will remain in effect until the end of the Guarantee Period
selected by You. Upon expiry of the selected Guarantee Period, unless you elect
to transfer funds to another Guarantee Period or Subaccount, or elect to
withdraw funds, We will begin another Guarantee Period of the same duration as
the one that just ended, and will credit interest at the then current rate for
that new Guarantee Period. If your original Guarantee Period is no longer
available or if you choose a Guarantee Period that is no longer available We
will use the Guarantee Period with the next longest duration. To the extent
permitted by law, We reserve the right to discontinue Guarantee Periods and to
offer other Guarantee Periods that differ from those available at the time your
contract was issued. Any withdrawals or transfers from the MVA will be subject
to a market value adjustment, except that funds may be withdrawn or transferred
from this account without a market value adjustment in the 30-day Window Period
from 15 days before to 15 days after the Guarantee Period expiry date. We
reserve the right to limit cumulative premiums made to any one of these accounts
during any one-week period to not more than $250,000.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
ABOUT THIS SUMMARY
This summary briefly highlights some of the major contract provisions. Since
this is only a summary, the detailed provisions of the contract will control.
See those provisions for full information and any limits or restrictions that
apply. A Table of Contents is provided to help You find specific provisions.
Your contract is a legal contract between You and Us. You should, therefore,
READ YOUR CONTRACT CAREFULLY.
Check the Schedule Page of this contract to make sure it reflects the
premium payment allocation requested. Please call Your agent or Us any time You
have questions about Your contract.
THE TYPE OF CONTRACT
This contract provides for the accumulation of values prior to the Maturity Date
and the payment of an annuity after the Maturity Date. Subject to the terms of
this contract, You may allocate premium payments to the various Subaccounts and
Guaranteed Interest Account. The values that accumulate under this contract
prior to the Maturity Date are based on the premium payments made, the rates of
interest credited on any premium payments allocated to the Guaranteed Interest
Account, any expense charges, and the investment experience of the Subaccounts
within the Separate Account on any premium payments allocated to the
Subaccounts. The amount of each annuity payment will be based on the Contract
Value on the Maturity Date, the annuity purchase rates stated herein, and if a
variable annuity payment option is elected, the investment experience of the
Subaccounts during the annuity payout period. Various annuity payment options
are available.
WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE
Prior to the Maturity Date, You may withdraw all or part of the Contract Value
less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge. After the Maturity Date,
You may only withdraw from the remaining value under Variable Payment Options K
or L, less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge.
BENEFITS
All paid-up annuity, cash surrender, and death benefits under this contract are
not less than the minimum benefits required by any statute of the state where
this contract is delivered.
This contract provides for the payment of a death benefit amount in the event of
the death of the Owner. If there is one Owner, the death benefit will be paid to
the designated Beneficiary. If there is more than one Owner, the death benefit
will be paid to the surviving Owner(s) upon the death of the Owner who dies
first. If the Owner is a non-natural person, the death of the Primary Annuitant
will be treated as the death of the Owner.
The amount of the death benefit is determined as described in Part 9 of this
contract. Any additional amounts We credit to the contract will be treated as
income on or any other gain in the contract and will increase the Contract
Value. The Contract Value will be reduced by any withdrawal.
D611
PART 1: DEFINITIONS
YOU (YOUR)
The Owner of this contract.
WE (OUR, US)
PHL Variable Insurance Company
ACCUMULATION UNIT
A standard of measurement as described in Part 4, used to determine the value of
a contract and its interest in the Subaccounts prior to the Maturity Date and
for amounts held under Annuity Payment Option L.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
On the first Valuation Date selected by Us, We set all Accumulation Unit Values
of each Subaccount of the Separate Account at 1.000000. The Accumulation Unit
Value on any subsequent Valuation Date is determined by multiplying the
Accumulation Unit Value of the Subaccount on the immediately preceding Valuation
Date by the Net Investment Factor for that Subaccount for the Valuation Period
just ended.
ADJUSTED PREMIUM
Any premium allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account, as adjusted to include
any interest credited on and any contract charges or withdrawals deducted from
such premium payment.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the individual designated as such on the Schedule Page, or as
later changed. The Annuitant shown on the Schedule Page when the contract was
issued is the Primary Annuitant. Prior to the Maturity Date, the Annuitant may
be changed, however, there may be tax consequences. The Annuitant is the person
on whose continuation of life this contract is issued.
JOINT ANNUITANT(S)
A Joint Annuitant, if any, is an individual designated as such on the Schedule
Page, or as later changed. The Joint Annuitant is one of the persons on whose
continuation of life this contract is issued if a survivorship annuity payment
option is elected.
ANNUITY
A series of periodic payments.
ANNUITY UNIT
A standard of measurement used to determine the amount of each periodic payment
made under the Variable Payment Options I, J, K, M and N. The number of Annuity
Units in each Subaccount with assets under the chosen option is equal to the
portion of the first payment provided by that Subaccount divided by the Annuity
Unit Value for that Subaccount on the first Payment Calculation Date.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUE
On the first Valuation Date selected by Us, We set all Annuity Unit Values in
each Subaccount of the Separate Account at $1.000000. The Annuity Unit Value on
any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to the Annuity Unit Value of the
Subaccount on the immediately preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the Net
Investment Factor for that Subaccount for the Valuation Period divided by
1.000000 plus the rate of interest for the number of days in the Valuation
Period based on the Assumed Investment Rate.
ASSIGNS
Any person to whom You assign an interest in this contract if We have Written
Notice of the assignment in accordance with the provisions stated in Part 2.
D611 1
ASSUMED INVESTMENT RATE
The Assumed Investment Rate is 4.5% per year. We use this rate to determine the
first payment under Variable Payment Annuity Options I, J, K, M and N. Future
payment amounts under these options will depend on the relationship between the
Assumed Investment Rate and the actual investment performance of each Subaccount
as reflected in the Subaccount's Annuity Unit Value. The Assumed Investment Rate
is the net annual investment return that will need to be earned by each
Subaccount of the Separate Account for there to be no reduction in the amount of
the monthly payments under these options.
BENEFICIARY
The individual(s) or entity(s) designated by the Owner at the time this contract
is issued, or as later changed.
CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY
The same date each year as the Contract Date.
CONTRACT DATE
The Contract Date shown on the Schedule Page. It is the date from which Contract
Years and Contract Anniversaries are measured.
CONTRACT VALUE
The sum of the values under the contract of all Accumulation Units held in the
Subaccounts and the Adjusted Premium payments held in the Guaranteed Interest
Account.
CONTRACT YEAR
The first Contract Year is the one-year period from the Contract Date. Following
Contract Years run from one Contract Anniversary to the next.
FIXED PAYMENT ANNUITY
An annuity providing payments which do not vary in amount after the first
payment is made.
MATURITY DATE
The date annuity payments commence in the form of an annuity payment option. The
Maturity Date may not be earlier than the first Contract Anniversary. Unless we
agree otherwise, (1) the Maturity Date may not be earlier than the fifth
Contract Anniversary; and (2) the maximum Maturity Date is the later of the
Contract Anniversary nearest the younger annuitant's 95th birthday or ten years
from the Contract Date.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor for each Subaccount of the Separate Account is
determined by the investment performance of the assets underlying the Subaccount
for the Valuation Period just ended. The Net Investment Factor is equal to
1.000000 plus the applicable net investment rate for the Valuation Period. The
net investment rate is determined by:
1. taking the sum of the accrued net investment income and capital gains and
losses, realized or unrealized, of the Subaccount for the Valuation Period.
The net investment income is affected by an investment advisory expense fee
which is deducted from the Funds in which the assets of the Subaccounts of
the Separate Account are invested; and
2. dividing the result of (1) by the value of the Subaccount at the beginning
of the Valuation Period; and
3. for each calendar day in the Valuation Period subtracting from the result
of [(1) divided by (2)], an amount equal to the Mortality and Expense Risk
Fee plus the Daily Administrative Fee and any daily tax fee.
D611 2
OWNER
The Owner(s) as shown on the Schedule Page or as later changed.
PAYMENT CALCULATION DATE
The date We calculate annuity payments under a Variable Payment Annuity Option.
The first Payment Calculation Date is the Valuation Date on or next following
the Maturity Date unless We agree otherwise. After the first Payment Calculation
Date, We will calculate payments on the same date each month. We use the next
following Valuation Date if such date is not a Valuation Date.
PREMIUM PAYMENT DATE
The Valuation Date on which a premium payment is received at Our annuity
operations division unless it is received after the close of the New York Stock
Exchange, in which case it will be the next Valuation Date.

Year is used to determine the contingent deferred sales charge.
SUBACCOUNT(S)
The account(s) within Our Separate Account to which assets under the contract
may be allocated.
SURRENDER VALUE
Contract Value less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge and premium
tax.

PREMIUM PAYMENT ALLOCATION
The premium payment will be applied on its Premium Payment Date to the various
Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account in accordance with Your
instructions for the allocation of premium payments.
You may change the allocation schedule with respect to subsequent premium
payments by Written Request. We reserve the right to waive the requirement of
Written Request.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND SUBACCOUNTS
The PHL Variable Insurance Company's Variable Accumulation Separate Account (VA
Account) is a Separate Account established by Our company under Connecticut Law
and is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The VA Account contains various Subaccounts that have different investment
objectives.
All income, gains and losses, realized and unrealized, of the VA Account are
credited to or charged against the amounts placed in the VA Account without
reference to other income, gains and losses of Our General Account. The assets
of the VA Account are owned solely by Us and We are not a trustee with respect
to such assets. These assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of
any other business that We may conduct.
We use the assets of the VA Account to buy shares of the Fund(s) of this
contract according to Your most recent allocation instruction on file with Us at
Our annuity operations division. The Fund(s) are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, management investment company. The Fund(s)
have separate Series that correspond to the Subaccounts of the VA Account.
Assets of each Subaccount are invested in shares of the corresponding Fund
Series.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
The number of Accumulation Units credited to each Subaccount of the Separate
Account will be determined by dividing the premium payment applied to that
Subaccount by the Accumulation Unit Value of that Subaccount on the Premium
Payment Date.
ADDITIONAL SUBACCOUNTS
We have the right to add Subaccounts of the Separate Account subject to approval
by the Securities and Exchange Commission and, where required, other regulatory
authority.
SUBSTITUTION OF SUBACCOUNTS
If the shares of the Funds of this contract should no longer be available for
investment by the Separate Account or if in Our judgment further investment in
such Funds becomes inappropriate for use with this contract, We reserve the
right to substitute Accumulation Units of another Subaccount for Accumulation
Units already purchased or to be purchased in the future by premium payments
under this contract. Any such change will be subject to approval by the
Securities Exchange Commission and by the insurance supervisory official of the
state where this contract is delivered.
GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT (GIA)
This contract also contains a Guaranteed Interest Account (GIA) to which premium
payments may be allocated. The GIA is not part of the Separate Account. It is
accounted for as part of Our General Account. We will credit interest on the
amount in the GIA at such rate(s) as provided under the terms of this contract.
We reserve the right to add other Guaranteed Interest Accounts subject to the
approval by the insurance supervisory official of the state where this contract
is delivered.
We reserve the right to limit cumulative premium payments to the GIA during any
one-week period to not more than $250,000. We will credit interest daily on any
amounts held under the GIA at such rates as We shall determine but in no event
will the effective annual rate of interest be less than 3%. At least monthly, We
will set a one-year guaranteed interest rate that will apply to any premium made
to the GIA. When a one-year guarantee period for any premium amount ends, the
Adjusted Premiums will receive a new one-year guaranteed interest rate. The new
rate will be the same one-year guaranteed rate that applies to new
D611 6
premium payments made to the GIA. For new premium payments only, We may credit
additional interest for periods of one year or less, in addition to the initial
one-year guaranteed interest rate.
PART 5: TRANSFERS, WITHDRAWALS AND TERMINATION
TRANSFERS AMONG SUBACCOUNTS AND THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
You may transfer all or a portion of the Contract Value of this contract among
one or more of the Subaccounts and the GIA. Transfers are made by Written
Request. You may make up to 12 transfers per Contract Year from the Subaccounts
and only one transfer per Contract Year from the GIA unless the Dollar Cost
Averaging (DCA) Program or Asset Rebalancing Program is elected. Except as
otherwise provided under the DCA Program, the amount that may be transferred
from the GIA at any one time cannot exceed the higher of $1000 or 25% of the
value of the GIA.
Under the DCA Program, funds may be transferred automatically among the
Subaccounts on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Unless We
agree otherwise, the minimum initial and subsequent transfer amounts are $25
monthly, $75 quarterly, $150 semi-annually or $300 annually. A contract Owner
must have an initial value of $2,000 in the GIA or the Subaccount that funds
will be transferred from. Funds may be transferred from only one sending
Subaccount or the GIA but may be allocated to multiple receiving Subaccounts or
the GIA. Under the DCA Program, You may transfer approximately equal amounts
from the GIA over a minimum 6-month period.
Under the Asset Rebalancing Program, funds are transferred automatically among
the Subaccounts on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis to maintain
the allocation percentage elected by Written Request. Transfers to or from the
GIA are not permitted under the Asset Rebalancing Program.
Transfers made under the DCA Program or Asset Rebalancing Program will be
processed on the next Valuation Date following Your request for the month that
applies. If the value in the sending Subaccount or GIA is below the amount to be
transferred, then the entire remaining balance will be transferred and the DCA
or Asset Rebalancing Programs will be completed. You may terminate your
participation in the DCA or Asset Rebalancing Programs at any time by sending a
Written Notice to Us. Upon completion of DCA or Asset Rebalancing Programs, you
must send a Written Request to Us to start another DCA or Asset Rebalancing
Program.
The transfer charge is as shown on the Schedule Page. Any such charge will be
deducted from the Subaccounts or the GIA from which the amounts are to be
transferred with each such Subaccount or GIA bearing a pro rata share of the
transfer charge. The value of each Subaccount will be determined on the
Valuation Date that coincides with the date of transfer. Any Accumulation Units
held under a Subaccount of the Separate Account or Adjusted Premiums held under
the GIA as the result of any transfer shall retain its original Premium Payment
Date for purposes of determining the contingent deferred sales charge.
WITHDRAWALS AND FULL SURRENDER
You may withdraw in cash the Contract Value of this contract, less any
applicable premium tax or contingent deferred sales charge, in whole or in part
any time prior to the Maturity Date or at any time for amounts held under
Variable Payment Options K or L. Such withdrawals must be by Written Request and
must include such tax withholding information as We may reasonably require.
The portion withdrawn from any Subaccount will be taken by the surrender and
release of such number of Accumulation Units in such Subaccount required to make
the withdrawal, including any premium tax or contingent deferred sales charge
applicable to such withdrawal. Any portion withdrawn from the GIA will be taken
by the release of Adjusted Premiums in the amount needed to make the withdrawal,
including any premium tax or contingent deferred sales charge applicable to such
withdrawal. The Contract Value will be determined on the Valuation Date that
coincides with the date of the withdrawal.
D611 7
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
A charge to cover expenses incurred in the sale and distribution of this
contract is taken in the form of a contingent deferred sales charge. This charge
is applied to any partial withdrawal or full surrender made within the
seven-year period following the date of each Premium Payment. The amounts
released for surrender will be determined on a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) basis
based on the effective date of each premium payment.
In each Contract Year, you may withdraw a portion of your Contract Value free of
any contingent deferred sales charge, called the free withdrawal amount. During
the first Contract Year, the free withdrawal amount is 10% of the Contract Value
at the time of the first partial withdrawal. After the first Contract Year, and
each Contract Year thereafter, the current free withdrawal amount is 10% of the
Contract Value as of the end of the prior Contract Year.
In all Contract Years after the first, any unused percentage of the free
withdrawal amount from prior years may be carried forward to the current
Contract Year subject to the following limits:
1. During the second Contract Year, the unused percentage of the free
withdrawal amount from the prior year plus the current year free withdrawal
amount can not exceed 20% of the Contract Value as of the end of the prior
Contract Year; and
2. During the third and all subsequent Contract Years, the unused percentage
of the free withdrawal amount from the prior year plus the current year
free withdrawal amount can not exceed 30% of the Contract value as of the
end of the prior Contract Year.
Any amount withdrawn in excess of the free withdrawal amount will be subject to
the following contingent deferred sales charge, expressed as a percentage of the
amount withdrawn, up to a maximum of the total of all premium payments:
Complete Premium Payment Years Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
------------------------------ --------------------------------
0 7%
1 6%
2 5%
3 4%
4 3%
5 2%
6 1%
7 and over 0%
The contingent deferred sales charge is applied to amounts withdrawn or
surrendered up to the total of all premium payments less prior withdrawals for
which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid. Following a partial
withdrawal, the death benefit will be reduced by the same proportion as the
Contract Value is reduced by the withdrawal.
You may elect to apply the amount withdrawn or surrendered to the various
annuity payment options described in Part 10.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
Prior to the Maturity Date, You may partially withdraw amounts automatically on
a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under the Systematic
Withdrawal Program. You may participate in the Systematic Withdrawal Program at
any time by sending a Written Notice to Us.
The minimum initial and subsequent partial withdrawal amounts must be at least
$100. Partial withdrawals made under the Systematic Withdrawal Program will be
processed on each Contract Monthly Anniversary and will be less any applicable
premium tax and surrender charge.
D611 8
You may terminate Your participation in the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any
time by sending a Written Notice to Us. Upon completion of the Systematic
Withdrawal Program, You must send a Written Request to Us to start another
Systematic Withdrawal Program. The Systematic Withdrawal Program cannot continue
beyond the Maturity Date.
CONTRACT TERMINATION
If on any Valuation Date the Contract Value becomes zero, the contract will
immediately terminate. We will mail a written notice to You at Your most recent
post office address on file at Our annuity operations division.
DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT
With the exception of transfers and withdrawals from the GIA, transfers,
withdrawals, or a request for a full surrender will usually be processed within
7 days after We receive the Written Request at Our annuity operations division.
However, We may postpone the processing of any such transactions for any of the
following reasons (as provided under the Investment Company Act of 1940):
1. when the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend
and holiday closings;
2. when trading on the exchange is restricted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission;
3. when the Securities and Exchange Commission declares that an emergency
exists as a result of which disposal of securities in the Fund is not
reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the
value of the Units in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account; or
4. when a governmental body having jurisdiction over the VA Account by order
permits such suspension.
Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, are
applicable and will govern as to whether conditions described in (2) or (3) or
(4) exist.
For withdrawals from the GIA, We may defer payment for six months from the date
Our annuity operations division receives the Written Request. If payment is
delayed 10 working days or more, We will add interest at an annual rate equal to
that paid under Annuity Payment Options G and H.
PART 6: EXPENSE CHARGES
Charges to cover expenses incurred by Us in the distribution and administration
of this contract are made in the manner described below.
PREMIUM TAX
A premium tax may be required based on the laws of the state or municipality of
delivery, or the state or municipality where the Owner resides when a premium
payment is applied. The premium tax rate, if any, as of the Contract Date, is
shown on the Schedule Page. This rate may change for subsequent premium payments
in accordance with applicable state law. We will pay any premium tax due and
will only reimburse ourselves upon the remittance of the premium tax to the
applicable state or municipality.
SURRENDER CHARGE
A charge to cover expenses incurred in the sale and distribution of this
contract is taken in the form of a contingent deferred sales charge as described
in Part 5 .
TRANSFER CHARGE
A transfer charge is as shown on the Schedule Page.
D611 9
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
A portion of the administrative expense incurred by Us is assessed in the form
of an annual charge as shown on the Schedule Page. We reserve the right to lower
such charge. Such charge will be deducted at the end of each Contract Year from
the total Contract Value with each Subaccount and GIA bearing a pro rata share
of such expense based on the proportionate Contract Value of each of the
Subaccounts and GIA. By agreement with Us, You may, instead, elect to pay this
charge in cash.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK FEE
The mortality and expense risk fee is taken in the form of a daily fee against
each Subaccount as shown on the Schedule Page. We reserve the right to lower
such fee.
DAILY ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
A portion of the administrative expense incurred by Us is assessed in the form
of a daily fee against each Subaccount as shown on the Schedule Page.
PART 7: DETERMINING THE CONTRACT AND ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
CREDITING OF SUBACCOUNT UNITS AND PREMIUMS
We will apply any premium payments We receive on the Premium Payment Date to
credit Accumulation Units to one or more Subaccounts or to credit purchases to
the GIA in accordance with the most recent allocation schedule on file with Us.
The number of Accumulation Units credited to each Subaccount will be determined
by dividing the premium payment, applied to that Subaccount by the then current
Accumulation Unit Value of that Subaccount. The Accumulation Unit Value of each
Subaccount on a Valuation Date is determined at the end of that day.
DETERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT VALUE
Prior to the Maturity Date, the value of a Subaccount of the Separate Account
for this contract is determined by multiplying the total number of Accumulation
Units under this contract for that Subaccount by the current Accumulation Unit
Value of that Subaccount. The Contract Value for amounts held under Variable
Payment Annuity Option L is determined in the same manner. The value of the GIA
equals the total value of the Adjusted Premiums. The total Contract Value under
this contract equals the sum of the values of each of the Subaccounts and the
Adjusted Premiums.
THE VALUATION OF SUB-ACCOUNTS AND GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
The values and benefits of the GIA are not less than those required by the laws
of the state where this contract is delivered.
The values of the assets in each Subaccount will be calculated in accordance
with applicable law and accepted procedures.
All paid-up annuity, cash surrender, and death benefits under this Contract are
not less than the minimum benefits required by any statute of the state where
this contract is delivered. Any additional amounts We credit to the Contract
will be treated as any other gain in the Contract and will increase the paid-up
annuity, cash surrender and death benefits. Paid-up annuity and cash surrender
benefits will be reduced by any withdrawal. The death benefit following a
withdrawal will be reduced by the same proportion as the Account Value is
reduced at the time of the withdrawal.
We guarantee that expense and mortality results shall not adversely affect the
dollar amount of variable benefits and other contractual payments and values.
D611 10
PART 8: ANNUITY BENEFITS
On or before the Maturity Date, You may elect any one of the annuity payment
options as described in Part 10. If you do not select an annuity payment option
on or before the Maturity Date, We will apply the Contract Value less any
premium tax due to provide You a variable life annuity with 10 years period
certain under Payment Option I as described in Part 10.
If the amount to be applied on the Maturity Date is less than $2,000 or would
result in monthly payments of less than $20, We shall have the right to pay such
amount to You in one lump sum in lieu of providing such annuity. We also have
the right to change the annuity payment frequency to annual if the monthly
annuity payment would otherwise be less than $20.
PART 9: DEATH BENEFITS
The death benefit will be determined by the Death Benefit Option selected at the
time of the initial premium payment and shown on the Schedule Page, or as
changed following a change of ownership. The death benefits provided under this
contract are not less than the minimum benefits required under the laws of the
state where this contract is delivered.
DEATH BEFORE MATURITY DATE
If the contract is held by a single Owner who dies before the Maturity Date, We
will pay the death benefit amount to the designated Beneficiary upon receipt of
a certified death certificate, an order of competent jurisdiction or any other
proof acceptable to Us. If there is more than one Owner and one of the Owners
dies before the Maturity Date, We will pay the death benefit amount to the
surviving Owner(s), if any, who will be deemed to be the designated
Beneficiary(s). If the spouse of a deceased Owner is entitled to receive all or
some portion of the death benefit amount, the spouse may elect to continue the
contract as the new Owner. This election is only allowed prior to the Maturity
Date and can be elected only one time. When the spouse elects to continue the
contract, the death benefit amount that the spouse is entitled to receive will
become the new Contract Value for the continued contract and the current Death
Benefit Option will remain in effect.
If the contract is owned by a non-natural person, such as a trust, and the
Annuitant (defined as the Primary Annuitant) dies before the Maturity Date, We
will pay the death benefit to the Owner. If a Joint Annuitant dies prior to the
Maturity Date, a death benefit is not paid. The Owner may appoint a new Joint
Annuitant.
ELECTION OF DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
The Owner shall elect any one of the Death Benefit Options that We make
available at the time of the Owner's initial premium payment. The Owner's chosen
option is as shown on the Schedule Page. If no option is elected, Death Benefit
Option 1 shall apply.
DEATH BENEFIT - OPTION 1
This death benefit (less any premium tax) is equal to A or B, whichever is
greater, where:
1. A is 100% of premium payments less "Adjusted Partial Withdrawals" (as
defined below).
2. B is the Contract Value next determined following receipt of a certified
copy of the death certificate at Our annuity operations division.
DEATH BENEFIT - OPTION 2
This death benefit is based on the age of the Owner. If there is more than one
Owner, it is based on the age of the eldest Owner.
D611 11
If the Owner has not yet attained age 80, the death benefit (less any premium
tax) is equal to A or B or C, whichever is greater, where:
1. A is 100% of premium payments less "Adjusted Partial Withdrawals" (as
defined below).
2. B is the Contract Value next determined following receipt of a certified
copy of the death certificate at Our annuity operations division.
3. C is the "Annual Step-up Amount" (as defined below).
If the Owner has attained age 80, the death benefit (less any premium tax) is
equal to A or B, whichever is greater, where:
1. A is the death benefit calculated at the end of the Contract Year prior to
the Owner's attained age 80, plus 100% of the premium payments less
"Adjusted Partial Withdrawals" (as defined below) made since the end of the
Contract Year prior to the Owner's attained age 80.
2. B is the Contract Value next determined following receipt of a certified
copy of the death certificate at Our annuity operations division.
If the contract is not owned by a natural person, the age of the Primary
Annuitant will be used to calculate the death benefit.
If the spouse elects to continue the contract under Death Benefit Option 2, the
death benefit under the continued contract will be calculated using the
surviving spouse's attained age.
ANNUAL STEP-UP AMOUNT
In the first Contract Year, the Annual Step-up Amount is equal to 100% of
premium payments less "Adjusted Partial Withdrawals".
In the second Contract Year or any subsequent Contract Year, the Annual Step-up
Amount is equal to A or B, whichever is greater, where:
1. A is the Annual Step-up Amount at the end of the previous Contract Year,
plus 100% of premium payments made since the end of the previous Contract
Year, less "Adjusted Partial Withdrawals" made since the end of the
previous Contract Year.
2. B is the Contract Value.
ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
The sum of all Adjusted Partial Withdrawals when each is calculated as the
product of (1) times (2) where:
1. is the ratio of the amount of the partial withdrawal to the Contract Value
on the date of (but prior to) the partial withdrawal; and
2. is the death benefit on the date of (but prior to) the partial withdrawal.
DISTRIBUTION AT DEATH REQUIREMENTS
Any Beneficiary who is a natural person entitled to a death benefit may, within
one year after the date of an Owner's death, elect to receive the death benefit
in the form of an annuity payment option. If an annuity payment option is
selected, it may not extend beyond such Beneficiary's life or life expectancy
and the payments must begin within one year after the date of death. If an
annuity payment option is not elected or the Beneficiary is a non-natural
person, the entire death benefit will be distributed in a lump sum no later than
five years after the date of death.
D611 12
DEATH ON OR AFTER THE MATURITY DATE
If an Owner dies on or after the Maturity Date and there is no surviving Owner,
any remaining certain period annuity payments will be paid to the Beneficiary
under the annuity payment option in effect on the date of death. If there is a
surviving Owner, the payments continue as if there had been no death. Payments
to the Beneficiary or surviving Owner may not be deferred or otherwise extended.
If the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant(s), if any, die and are survived by any
Owner, any remaining certain period annuity payments will be paid to such Owner.
Payments will continue under the annuity payment option in effect at the date of
death and may not be deferred or otherwise extended.
HOW TO CHANGE THE BENEFICIARY
At any time prior to the death of the last of the Annuitants under this
contract, You may change the Beneficiary. The change must be made by Written
Notice signed by You. If there is more than one Owner, all Owners must sign the
Written Notice. When We receive it, the change will be effective as of the date
it was signed by the last Owner to sign. However, the change will be subject to
any payment made or actions taken by Us before We received the Written Notice at
Our annuity operations division.
PART 10: ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS
You must elect an annuity payment option by Written Request. We reserve the
right to require that the election of a payment option be in the form of a
supplementary contract distributed by Us reflecting the terms of the payment
option elected. We have the right to require proof of age and sex of any person
on whose life payments depend, as well as proof of the continued survival of any
such person. After the first Payment Calculation Date, You may not change the
annuity payment option You elected. Where the election of an annuity payment
option is made by the beneficiary of any death benefit payable under this
contract, limited as described in Part 9, the term "Annuitant" as used below
shall refer to such beneficiary.
CALCULATION OF FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Under Options A, B, D, E and F, the applicable payment option rate used to
determine the payment amount will not be less than the rate based on the 1983a
Individual Annuity Mortality Table projected with projection scale G to the year
2040 and an interest rate of 3%. Under Options G and H, the applicable payment
option rate will not be less than the rate based on an interest rate of 3%.
Under Options A, B, D, E, F, G, and H, the amount of the payment is equal to the
Contract Value, less any premium tax due, divided by $1,000 and then multiplied
by the applicable payment option rate.
CALCULATION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Under Options I, J, M and N, the applicable payment option rate used to
determine the first payment amount will not be less than the rate based on the
1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table projected with projection scale G to
the year 2040, with continued projection thereafter and the Assumed Investment
Rate.
Under Option K, the applicable payment option rate will be based on the number
of payments to be made during the specified period and the Assumed Investment
Rate.
Under Options I, J, K, M and N, the amount of the first payment is equal to the
amount held in each Subaccount, less any premium tax due, divided by $1,000 and
then multiplied by the applicable payment option rate. The first payment equals
the sum of the amounts provided by each Subaccount.
In each Subaccount, the number of fixed Annuity Units is determined by dividing
the amount of the initial payment provided by that Subaccount by the Annuity
Unit Value for that Subaccount on the first Payment Calculation Date.
Thereafter, the number of fixed Annuity Units in each Subaccount remains
unchanged unless You transfer funds to or from the Subaccount. If You transfer
funds to or from a Subaccount, the number of fixed Annuity Units will change in
proportion to the change in value of the Subaccount as a result of the transfer.
The number of fixed Annuity Units will change effective with the transfer, but
will remain fixed in number following the transfer.
D611 13
Second and subsequent payments are determined by multiplying the number of fixed
Annuity Units for each Subaccount by the Annuity Unit Value for that Subaccount
on the Payment Calculation Date. The total payment will equal the sum of the
amounts provided by each Subaccount. The amount of second and subsequent
payments will vary with the investment experience of the Subaccounts and may be
either higher or lower than the first payment.
Under Option L, We determine the amount of the annual distribution by dividing
the amount of Contract Value as of the payment calculation date by the life
expectancy of the Annuitant or the joint life expectancy of the Annuitant and
Joint Annuitant at that time.
We guarantee that neither expenses actually incurred, other than taxes on
investment return, nor mortality actually experienced, shall adversely affect
the dollar amount of variable annuity payments.
OPTION A - LIFE ANNUITY WITH SPECIFIED PERIOD CERTAIN
A fixed payout annuity payable monthly while the Annuitant is living or, if
later, the end of the specified period certain. The period certain may be
specified as 5, 10, or 20 years. The period certain must be specified at the
time this option is elected.
OPTION B - NON-REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
A fixed payout annuity payable monthly while the Annuitant is living. No monthly
payment, death benefit or refund is payable after the death of the Annuitant.
OPTION D - JOINT AND SURVIVORSHIP LIFE ANNUITY
A fixed payout annuity payable monthly while either the Annuitant or designated
Joint Annuitant is living. You must designate the Joint Annuitant at the time
You elect this option. The designated Joint Annuitant must be at least age 40 on
the first Payment Calculation Date.
OPTION E - INSTALLMENT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
A fixed payout annuity payable monthly while the Annuitant is living. If the
Annuitant dies before the annuity payments made under this option total an
amount which refunds the entire amount applied under this option, We will make a
lump sum payment equal to the entire amount applied under this option less the
sum of payments already made.
OPTION F - JOINT AND SURVIVORSHIP LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
A fixed payout annuity payable monthly while either the Annuitant or Joint
Annuitant is living, or if later, the end of 10 years. You must designate the
Joint Annuitant at the time You elect this option. The Joint Annuitant must be
at least age 40 on the first Payment Calculation Date.
OPTION G - PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD
A fixed payout annuity payable monthly over a specified period of time. Payments
continue whether the Annuitant lives or dies. The specified period must be in
whole numbers of years from 5 to 30, but cannot be greater than 100 minus the
age of the Annuitant. However, if the beneficiary of any death benefits payable
under this contract elects this Payment Option, the period selected by the
beneficiary may not extend beyond the life expectancy of such beneficiary.
OPTION H - PAYMENTS OF A SPECIFIED AMOUNT
Equal income installments of a specified amount are paid until the principal sum
remaining under this option from the amount applied is less than the amount of
the installment. When that happens, the principal sum remaining will be paid as
a final payment. The amount specified must provide for payments for a period of
at least 5 years.
D611 14
OPTION I - VARIABLE LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
A variable payout annuity payable monthly while the Annuitant is living or, if
later, for ten years. If the beneficiary of any death benefits payable under
this contract elects this payment option, the period certain will equal the
shorter of 10 years and the life expectancy of such beneficiary.
OPTION J - JOINT SURVIVORSHIP VARIABLE LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10-YEAR PERIOD CERTAIN
A variable payout annuity payable monthly while either the Annuitant or Joint
Annuitant is living, or if later, the end of 10 years. You must designate the
Joint Annuitant at the time You elect this option. The Joint Annuitant must be
at least age 40 on the first Payment Calculation Date. This option is not
available for the payment of any death benefit under this contract.
OPTION K - VARIABLE ANNUITY FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD
A variable payout annuity payable monthly over a specified period of time.
Payments continue whether the Annuitant lives or dies. The specified period must
be in whole numbers of years from 5 to 30, but cannot be greater than 100 minus
the age of the Annuitant. However, if the beneficiary of any death benefits
payable under this contract elects this payment option, the period selected by
the beneficiary may not extend beyond the life expectancy of such beneficiary.
This option also provides for unscheduled withdrawals. An unscheduled withdrawal
will reduce the number of fixed Annuity Units in each Subaccount and affect the
amount of future payments.
OPTION L - VARIABLE LIFE EXPECTANCY ANNUITY
This option provides a variable income which is payable over the Annuitant's
annually recalculated life expectancy or the annually recalculated life
expectancy of the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant. This option also provides for
unscheduled withdrawals. An unscheduled withdrawal will reduce the Contract
Value and affect the amount of future payments. Upon the death of the Annuitant
(and Joint Annuitant, if applicable), any remaining Contract Value will be paid
in a lump sum to the beneficiary.
OPTION M - UNIT REFUND VARIABLE LIFE ANNUITY
This option provides variable monthly payments as long as the Annuitant lives.
In the event of the death of the Annuitant, the monthly payments will stop and
the beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment equal to the value of the
remaining Annuity Units. This value is equal to the sum of the number of
remaining Annuity Units for each Subaccount multiplied by the current Annuity
Unit Value for that Subaccount. The number of remaining Annuity Units for each
Subaccount will be calculated as follows:
(1) the net amount in the Subaccount applied under this option on the first
Payment Calculation Date divided by the corresponding Annuity Unit Value on
that date, minus
(2) the sum of the Annuity Units released from the Subaccount to make the
payments under this option.
You may not transfer any assets under Option M, unless We agree otherwise.
OPTION N - VARIABLE NON-REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
A variable payout annuity payable monthly while the Annuitant is living. No
monthly payment, death benefit or refund is payable after the death of the
Annuitant.
OTHER OPTIONS
We may offer other annuity payment options or alternative versions of the
options listed above.
D611 15
PART 11: TABLES OF ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTION RATES
The tables in this section show the guaranteed minimum monthly payments for
Options A - G, and the minimum initial payment for the Variable Payment Options
I, J, K, M and N for each $1,000 applied. These rates are based on the
Annuitant's age and sex. If Our rates in effect on the first Payment Calculation
Date are more favorable, We will use those rates. Subsequent monthly payments
for the Variable Payment Options will vary and may be higher or lower than the
first payment. Amounts for payment frequencies, periods, ages and any current
rate information not shown will be provided upon request.
The term "age" as used in the tables refers to the actual age of the Annuitant
on the first Payment Calculation Date.
