SECTION D: SEPARATE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
D1 The Separate Account: First SAFECO has established a Separate Account,
subject to the laws of the State of New York, for this and other similar
Contracts. A portion of First SAFECO's assets has been allocated to the
Separate Account for this and other similar Contracts. The assets of the
Separate Account are the property of First SAFECO and are not chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business First SAFECO may
conduct. The investments of the Separate Account will be valued at their
fair market value in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board
of Directors of First SAFECO and the Separate Account Committee.
The Separate Account is divided into Sub-Accounts with the assets of each
Sub-Account invested as set forth on the Contract Data Page.
The assets of the Sub-Accounts are allocated to the Eligible Investments
and the portfolios, if any, within Eligible Investments shown on the
Contract Data Page. First SAFECO may, from time to time, add Eligible
Investments or portfolios, or remove Eligible Investments or portfolios.
If the shares of any Eligible Investment or portfolio within an Eligible
Investment become unavailable for investment by the Separate Account, or
First SAFECO's Board of Directors deems further investment in these shares
inappropriate, First SAFECO may substitute shares of another Eligible
Investment or portfolio for shares already purchased under this Contract.
Any material change requiring a change to the plan of operation of the
Separate Account or to this Contract is subject to appropriate regulatory
approval.
D2 Non-Participation in Surplus: The Variable Annuity portion of this Contract
will not share in any distribution of profits, losses, or surplus of First
SAFECO.
D3 Valuation Dates and Periods: A Valuation Date is each day the New York
Stock Exchange is open for business. A Valuation Period is the period
commencing at the close of business on each Valuation Date and ending at
the close of business for the next succeeding Valuation Date.
D4 Value of Accumulation Units: Each Purchase Payment is allocated to a
Sub-Account and is converted into Accumulation Units. The number of
Accumulation Units in a Sub-Account credited to this Contract is determined
by dividing each Net Purchase Payment by the value of an Accumulation Unit
for that Sub-Account. Accumulation Units for each Sub-Account are valued
separately. The Accumulation Unit value for each Sub-Account was
arbitrarily set at $10 when the Sub-Account was established. The
Accumulation Unit value for any later Valuation Period is determined by
multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the Sub-Account, as of the
immediately preceding Valuation Period, by the Net Investment Factor for
the current Valuation Period.
D5 Net Investment Factor: The Net Investment Factor for any Sub-Account for
any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting
(c) from the result, where:
(a) is the net result of:
(i) The net asset value per share of the portfolio set out on
the Contract Data Page as the investment of the Sub-Account,
determined as of the current Valuation Period, plus
(ii) The per share amount of any dividend or capital-gain
distribution made by the portfolio if the "ex-dividend" date
occurs during the current Valuation Period, plus or minus
(iii) A per share credit or charge, which is determined by First
SAFECO, for changes in tax reserves resulting from investment
operations of the Sub-Account.
(b) is the net result of:
(i) The netasset value per share of the portfolio determined as of
the immediately preceding Valuation Period, plus or minus
(ii) The per share credit or charge for any changes in tax reserves
for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.
- 4 -
8
(c) is the percentage factor equal to the Mortality and Expense Risk
Premium. Such factor is equal on an annual basis to a percentage of
the daily net asset value of the Sub-Account, as shown on the Contract
Data Page.
The Net Investment Factor may be greater or less than one. Therefore, the
Accumulation Unit value may increase or decrease.
SECTION E: ANNUITY OPTIONS AND DEATH BENEFITS
E1 Selection and Change of Settlement Option: The Owner may select or change
the Settlement Option or Annuity Date by written notification to First
SAFECO at its Home Office. In order to be effective, the written
notification must be received by First SAFECO prior to any Annuity Date
previously selected.
E2 Payment of Benefits: Subject to the provisions of this Contract, First
SAFECO will, upon the written direction of the Owner, issue an Annuity or
make a cash distribution to any person who is entitled to such benefits.
First SAFECO shall not be obligated to issue an Annuity or to make a cash
distribution until it receives written direction from the Owner containing
the terms and conditions of the Annuity or cash distribution.
First SAFECO may rely on the written direction of the Owner and shall not
be liable, except where First SAFECO has acted in a negligent manner or has
failed to exercise reasonable or prudent care, for any failure to question
or challenge such direction regarding the issuance of an Annuity or payment
of a cash distribution.
E3 State Required Minimum Benefits: The death benefit, the surrender value,
and the Annuity Options under this Contract will not be less than the
minimum benefits required by any statute of the state in which this
Contract is delivered.
E4 Frequency and Amount of Annuity Payments: Except as described below,
Annuity payments will be paid monthly. If the net amount available to apply
under any Annuity Option is less than $2,000, First SAFECO shall have the
right to pay such amount in a lump-sum cash distribution.
(a) (i) If monthly Annuity payments described in Section E8(a), E8(b),
E8(c), I5(a), I5(b), or I5(c) would be or become less than $50,
First SAFECO shall have the right to change the frequency of
payments to such intervals as will result in payments of at
least $50.
(ii) If monthly Annuity payments described in Section E8(d) or I5(d)
would be or become less than $250, First SAFECO shall have the
right to change the frequency of payments to such intervals as
will result in payments of at least $250.
(b) If any Annuity payment reduces the Contract Value to an amount less
than $500 on the effective date of such payment, the Contract shall be
surrendered and shall be subject to any applicable Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge.
E5 Death of Annuitant:
(a) If the Annuitant dies before an Annuity Option has commenced, the Owner
must designate a new Annuitant. If no designation is made within 30
days of notification to First SAFECO of the death of the Annuitant, the
Owner will become the Annuitant.
(b) If the Contract is owned by a non-natural person, the death of the
Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner.
- 5 -
9
E6 Death of Owner Prior to Annuity Date:
(a) The Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit: The initial Minimum Guaranteed
Death Benefit shall be equal to the initial Net Purchase Payment.
Additional Net Purchase Payments are added to the Minimum Guaranteed
Death Benefit. The Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit will be adjusted
after any Withdrawal by multiplying it by the ratio of the Contract
Value after the Withdrawal to the Contract Value before the Withdrawal.
The Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit shall be redetermined on each
Eight Year Contract Anniversary by taking the greater of the Contract
Value on that Eight Year Contract Anniversary or the previous Minimum
Guaranteed Death Benefit. The Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit shall
subsequently be increased for additional Net Purchase Payments and
adjusted after any Withdrawals in the same manner as the initial
Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit is adjusted. After the Owner's death,
the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit will be reduced dollar for dollar
by any Withdrawals.
(b) Death Benefit Options: Upon the death of the Owner prior to the
Annuity Date, the Beneficiary may elect an Annuity Option or to
receive a single lump sum payment.
(c) Death Benefit (prior to age 72)
If the Owner dies prior to age 72 and before an Annuity Option has
commenced, and provided that the Beneficiary provides due proof of
death in a form satisfactory to First SAFECO and has elected a Death
Benefit Option within six (6) months of the date of death, the amount
of the Death Benefit will be the greater of:
(i) the Contract Value on the date of election of a Death Benefit
Option by the Beneficiary; or
(ii) the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit.
(d) Death Benefit (on or after age 72)
If the Owner dies on or after age 72 and before a Settlement Option has
commenced, and provided that the Beneficiary provides due proof of
death in a form satisfactory to First SAFECO and has elected a Death
Benefit Option within six (6) months of the date of death, the amount
of the Death Benefit will be the greater of:
(i) the Contract Value on the date of election of a Death Benefit
Option by the Beneficiary; or
(ii) the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit established on the last
Eight Year Contract Anniversary preceding the Owner's 72nd
birthday, adjusted for any Net Purchase Payments received or
Withdrawals taken since that Eight Year Contract Anniversary.
(e) Death Benefit (Death notification or Death Benefit Option election
more than Six Months after Date of Death)
If notification of death or election of a Death Benefit Option occurs
after the six month anniversary of the date of death, the death benefit
will be the Contract Value on the date of election of a Death Benefit
Option determined as follows: the Contract Value calculated as of the
six month anniversary of the date of death will be compared with the
Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit calculated immediately prior to the
six month anniversary of the date of death to determine if additional
funds are required to be added by First SAFECO to equal such Minimum
Guaranteed Death Benefit. First SAFECO will supplement any deficiency
in Contract Value, such that Contract Value will equal the Minimum
Guaranteed Death Benefit. Thereafter, until the date of election of a
Death Benefit Option, the Contract Value attributable to First SAFECO's
contribution will be guaranteed and interest paid thereon at prevailing
money market rates; the portion of Contract Value existing on the six
month anniversary of the date of death will be subject to adjustment
reflecting the investment experience for the period from the six-month
anniversary to the date of election of a Death Benefit Option. In
addition, the amount of the death benefit will be reduced dollar for
dollar by any Withdrawal after the Owner's death.
S - 6 -
10
(f) Election Period: The election of an Annuity Option or other form of payment
must be made by the Beneficiary during the 60-day period commencing with
the date of receipt by First SAFECO of notification of the Owner's death.
If no election is made within the 60-day period, then a single sum payment
will be made to the Beneficiary.
(g) The Death Benefit must be distributed:
(i) By the fifth anniversary of the Owner's death; or
(ii) Over a designated Beneficiary's life or over a period not extending
beyond the Beneficiary's life expectancy, in equal or substantially
equal payments, with payments beginning within one year of the death
of the Owner.
(h) If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner, the Contract may be
continued by the spouse, and the spouse will become the Owner.
(i) Joint Owners:
(i) The Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit will only be payable on the
death of the older joint Owner. Upon the death of the older joint
Owner, if the Contract is continued, no Minimum Guaranteed Death
Benefit applies for the remaining duration of the Contract.
(ii) Upon the death of a joint Owner, the surviving Owner shall be the
designated Beneficiary. Any other named Beneficiary shall be a
contingent Beneficiary.
(iii) Upon the death of a joint Owner, the surviving Owner may elect an
Annuity Option or a lump sum payment, or may elect to continue the
Contract.
E7 Death of Owner After Annuity Date: If the Owner dies on or after an Annuity
Option has commenced and if applicable, any remaining payments must
continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect
prior to the Owner's death.
E8 Annuity Options from the Separate Account: An Annuity may be issued in any
of the forms described below, or such other forms which First SAFECO agrees
to issue under this Contract. The Annuitant will become the Owner on
commencement of an Annuity Option.
(a) Variable Life Annuity: Monthly payments are made to the Annuitant
commencing on the Annuity Date, if he or she is then living, and the
last payment is that payment due immediately on or before the
Annuitant's death. No death benefit is payable under this option.
(b) Variable Life Annuity with 120 or 240 Monthly Payments Guaranteed:
Monthly payments are made to the Annuitant commencing on the Annuity
Date. If at the death of the Annuitant the guaranteed number of
payments has not been received by the Annuitant, payments will be made
to the Beneficiary for the remainder of the guarantee period. The
Beneficiary may elect to have the present value of the guaranteed
Annuity remaining as of the date the notice of death is received by
First SAFECO commuted at the assumed investment rate of 4% and paid in
a single payment.
(c) Variable Joint and Survivor Life Annuity: Monthly payments are made to
the Annuitant commencing on the Annuity Date. After the death of the
Annuitant, payments will be continued to the Co-Annuitant for as long
as he or she lives. The written request for this option must specify
the percentage value of monthly payments to continue to the
Co-Annuitant.
(d) Systematic Payment Annuity: A specified number of whole or partial
Accumulation Units are liquidated for payment to the Annuitant on a
monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. The number to be liquidated during
a given year shall be a sufficient number so as to be expected to
deplete the Contract over the life expectancy of the Annuitant or the
joint life expectancy of the Annuitant and Beneficiary, with at least
50% of the payments expected to be made during the Annuitant's life.
This Option will remain in effect unless the Annuitant subsequently
elects to receive payments under Section E8(a), (b), or (c), or elects
to surrender the Contract after the eighth Contract Year.
- 7 -
11
E9 Automatic Option from the Separate Account: If, as of the Annuity Date, an
Annuity Option has not been selected, First SAFECO will make payments under
the Variable Life Annuity with 120 Monthly Payments option of Section
E8(b).
E10 Annuity Unit: The value of an Annuity Unit was arbitrarily set at $10 when
each Sub-Account was established. The value of the Annuity Unit for any
subsequent Valuation Period is determined by multiplying the value of the
Annuity Unit for the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the Net
Investment Factor for the Valuation Period for which the value is being
calculated (as described in Section D5), and dividing the result by the
Assumed Investment Factor for such Valuation Period (as described in
Section E11).
E11 Assumed Investment Factor: The Assumed Investment Factor for a one-day
Valuation Period is 1.00010746. This factor neutralizes the assumed
investment return of 4% in the Variable Annuity Purchase Rate Table in
Section H2.
E12 Variable Annuity Payment Calculation: A Variable Annuity is an Annuity with
payments which are not predetermined as to dollar amount. Payments will
vary in accordance with the net investment results of the Separate Account.
The dollar amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment under
Section E8(a), E8(b), or E8(c) will be determined by applying the Contract
Value (after deduction for premium taxes, if applicable), as of the 15th
day of the preceding month, to the Variable Annuity Purchase Rate Table in
Section H2. The number of Annuity Units to be credited to the Annuitant
will be determined by dividing the first monthly payment by the Annuity
Unit value calculated as of the 15th day of the preceding month. This
number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity payment period.
The dollar amount of each Variable Annuity payment after the first shall be
determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units credited to the
Annuitant by the Annuity Unit value as of the 15th day of the preceding
month.
E13 Mortality and Expense Risk Premium Guarantee: First SAFECO guarantees that
the dollar amount of each Variable Annuity payment made after the first
payment will not be affected by variations in mortality experience or
expenses.
SECTION F: WITHDRAWALS AND TRANSFERS
F1 Minimum Withdrawal: The minimum Withdrawal is as shown on the Contract Data
Page, or the Contract Value, if less. Except as otherwise provided in this
Contract, the Owner may, at or prior to the Annuity Date, withdraw all or
part of the Contract Value.
F2 Minimum Balance After Withdrawal: If any Withdrawal reduces the remaining
balance in a Sub-Account to less than $500, the remaining balance will also
be Withdrawn.
F3 Minimum Transfer: The minimum Transfer from a Sub-Account must be at least
$500, except for Transfers pursuant to certain Programs. If the Sub-Account
from which the Transfer is being made is less than $500 the entire
Sub-Account will be transferred, including a Transfer pursuant to certain
Programs.
The minimum Transfer into a Sub-Account must be at least $50.
F4 Withdrawal of Accumulation Units: Upon a Withdrawal from a Sub-Account, the
number of Accumulation Units remaining under this Contract will be reduced
by the number of such units equal to the total of the Withdrawal, including
applicable charges and taxes, including income taxes withheld, if
applicable.
F5 Systematic Withdrawal: The Owner may elect periodic withdrawals to receive
cash distributions from this Contract in a predetermined amount on a
predetermined frequency. Payments under this election will be made directly
to the Owner by First SAFECO, and will not be made more often than monthly.
A specified number of whole or partial Accumulation Units are liquidated
pro-rata from the Sub-Accounts for payment to the Owner monthly,
quarterly, or annually. Enough units will be liquidated each year so as to
expect to deplete the Contract over the life expectancy of the Owner or the
joint life expectancy of the Annuitant and Beneficiary. The systematic
withdrawals will remain in effect until the Annuity Date unless the Owner
elects, prior to the Annuity Date, an Annuity Option under Section E8
and/or I5, or to surrender the Contract after the eighth Contract Year.

F6 Transfer of Accumulation Units: Upon a Transfer from a Sub-Account, the
number of Accumulation Units remaining under that Sub-Account will be
reduced by the number of such units equal to the total of the requested
Transfer, including applicable charges, and taxes.
F7 Minimum Balance After Transfer: If any Transfer, including a Transfer
pursuant to certain Programs, reduces the remaining balance in a
Sub-Account to less than $500, the remaining balance will also be
transferred.
F8 Deferral of Withdrawal Payment:
(a) Except as provided in Section F9(b), payments by First SAFECO from the
Contract will be made within seven days after receiving a Withdrawal
request.
(b) First SAFECO reserves the right to suspend or postpone payments for a
Withdrawal or Transfer for any period when:
(i) The New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary
weekend and holiday closings);
(ii) Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, as
determined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission;
(iii) An emergency exists as a result of which disposal of securities
held in the Separate Account is not reasonably practicable or it
is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the
Separate Account's net assets, as determined by the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; or
(iv) During any other period when the Securities and Exchange
Commission, by order, so permits for the protection of Owners.
F9 Investment Related Transfer Programs: Prior to the Annuity Date, First
SAFECO offers several Investment Related Transfer Programs. First SAFECO
retains the right to discontinue any Investment Related Transfer Program.
Transfers under an Investment Related Transfer Program between and among
Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account are not counted as one of the twelve
free transfers. However, if an Owner executes an unrelated voluntary
transfer from the Sub-Account participating in a Program, other than the
Sub-Account Rebalancing Program, the Program will be terminated for the
remainder of the Contract Year. In addition, if a Program is terminated
before six Program transfers have occurred, the Program transfers that have
taken place are counted as part of the twelve free transfers. If the
balance in a Sub-Account would be less than $500 as a result of a transfer
pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Transfer Programs, then
the entire balance in that Sub-Account will also be transferred.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program: The Owner may elect a pre-established
automatic monthly or quarterly transfer from any Sub-Account or the Fixed
Account to any one or more of the Sub-Accounts or the Fixed Account, if
the amount transferred will be at least $50. However, for the duration of
this Program, transfers from the Fixed Account are limited to an amount
calculated by First SAFECO at the time of initial transfer, not to exceed
1.33% per month or 4% per quarter. To qualify for this Program, it must
continue for at least 6 months.
Automatic Transfer Program: The Automatic Transfer Program is identical to
the Dollar Cost Averaging Program except that the limits on transfers from
the Fixed Account will be recalculated annually and will not exceed 1.5%
per month or 4.5% per quarter. This Program will continue until the Owner
requests discontinuance, the transfer amount falls below $50, or there are
no funds left in the Sub-Account to Transfer.
Appreciation or Interest Sweep Program: This Program is available after the
total Contract Value exceeds $10,000; it applies only to transfers from the
First SAFECO Resource Money Market Sub-Account or the Fixed Account. If the
appreciation on the Money Market Sub-Account or the interest credited to
the Fixed Account exceeds 10%, then appreciation or earnings equal to 10%
will be transferred to the Sub-Account(s) specified by the Owner. Under
this Program, however, amounts may not be transferred between the Fixed
Account and the Money Market Sub-Account. This Program is not available in
any Contract Year in which transfers or withdrawals have already been made
from the Fixed Account.
- 9 -
13
Sub-Account Rebalancing Program: This Program is available after the total
Contract Value exceeds $10,000. If elected, First SAFECO will rebalance the
Contract Value of each Sub-Account quarterly, semi-annually or annually in
accordance with the Owner's Purchase Payment allocation percentages in
effect when the Program starts. At any time, the Owner may elect in writing
to change the allocation percentages. This Program may also be stopped at
any time, but may not be restarted until the next Contract Year.
The Dollar Cost Averaging, Automatic Transfer and the Appreciation or
Interest Sweep Programs may not be combined with each other or any other
Program. The Sub-Account Rebalancing Program may be combined with any one
of the other Programs, but it is not available with respect to the Fixed
Account.
SECTION G: CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
G1 Deduction for Contingent Deferred Sales Charge:
(a) A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be assessed against any
Withdrawal or Transfer, based upon the following schedule:
Contract Year Charge
1 8% of amount Withdrawn
2 7% of amount Withdrawn
3 6% of amount Withdrawn
4 5% of amount Withdrawn
5 4% of amount Withdrawn
6 3% of amount Withdrawn
7 2% of amount Withdrawn
8 1% of amount Withdrawn
After 8 0% of amount Withdrawn
Total Contingent Deferred Sales Charges will not exceed 8.5% of the
Purchase Payments made under this Contract.
(b) A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will not be deducted:
(i) On Transfers between Sub-Accounts;
(ii) On Transfers from a Sub-Account to the Fixed Account;
(iii) On Transfers from the Fixed Account under Section I11;
(iv) On Withdrawals made under an Annuity Option;
(v) On Systematic Withdrawals over the life expectancy of the Owner
or the joint life expectancy of the Owner and Beneficiary;
(vi) On Withdrawals made pursuant to the death of the Owner; or
(vii) On the sum of Withdrawals taken in any Contract Year which does
not exceed 10% of the Contract Value. The determination of
whether more than 10% of the Contract Value has been Withdrawn
is made at the time of Withdrawal. If more than one Withdrawal is
made in a Contract Year, the previous Withdrawals in the Contract
Year are added to the current Contract Value to determine whether
more than 10% of the Contract Value has been Withdrawn in a
Contract Year.
G2 Deduction for Withdrawal Charge: The first Withdrawal each Contract Year
will have no Withdrawal Charge assessed. All further Withdrawals each
Contract Year will be subject to a Withdrawal Charge as shown on the
Contract Data Page, which will be deducted from the amount being Withdrawn.
Settlement Options and Systematic Withdrawal will have no Withdrawal Charge
assessed.
G3 Deduction for Transfer Charge: First SAFECO reserves the right to assess a
Transfer Charge for each Transfer in excess of twelve Transfers per
calendar year, as shown on the Contract Data Page. Transfers pursuant to
any Program offered by First SAFECO may or may not be subject to the
Transfer Charge, subject to First SAFECO's administrative procedures under
the Programs.
- 10 -
14
G4 Deduction for Mortality and Expense Risk Premium: First SAFECO deducts an
amount computed on a daily basis as copmensation for assuming the mortality
and expense risk. The Mortality and Expense Risk Premium shall be a
percentage of the average daily net asset value of the Separate Account on
an annual basis, as shown on the Contract Data Page.
G5 Taxes: Any premium taxes or other taxes levied by any governmental entity
which First SAFECO, in its sole discretion, determines have resulted from
the establishment or maintenance of this Contract or any portion of this
Contract, the receipt by First SAFECO of Purchase Payments, or the
commencement of Annuity payments, will be deducted from the Contract. The
Sub-Accountfrom which the taxes are deducted is determined by the
hierarchical order of the Sub-Accounts as shown on the Contract Data Page.
SECTION H: ANNUITY PURCHASE RATE TABLE
H1 Mortality Tables Used: The rates in the Variable Annuity Purchase Rate
Table are based upon the 1983a Mortality Table Projected 20 Years with
Projection Scale G, separate male and female tables. An age setback of one
year will be used if the Annuity payment begins in the year 2000-2009, two
years if the Annuity payment begins in the year 2010-2019, and an
additional one-year setback for each additional ten years. The effective
interest rate assumed in the Variable Annuity Purchase Rate Table is 4.00%.

SECTION I: FIXED ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
I1 Fixed Account Allocations: The Owner may make payments into the Fixed
Account, subject to acceptance and approval by First SAFECO. The Fixed
Account consists of the total Fixed Account Allocations received by First
SAFECO and not previously withdrawn, plus interest on each such Fixed
Account Allocation, less any applicable charges and deductions. Fixed
Account Allocations will become part of the general account of First SAFECO
to be so used and invested and will not be segregated from First SAFECO's
other assets.
- 12 -
16
I2 Interest Crediting:
(a) After receipt of each Fixed Account Allocation, and in accordance with
paragraph (b) below, First SAFECO will credit interest to the Fixed
Account Allocation at a rate determined according to First SAFECO's
investment year method of assigning interest credits. Under this
method the interest credits will be based on the original period of
receipt of such funds.
(b) Each Fixed Account Allocation will be credited with the Guaranteed
Interest Rate determined for such Fixed Account Allocation commencing
on the date the Fixed Account Allocation is received by First SAFECO.
(c) For purposes of crediting interest, the last-in, first-out accounting
method will apply to Withdrawals.
I3 Establishment of Interest Rates: Guaranteed Interest Rates for each Fixed
Account Allocation will be determined by First SAFECO as soon as
practicable prior to each Initial or Subsequent Interest Guarantee Period.
I4 Guaranteed Interest Rate:
(a) First SAFECO's Guaranteed Interest Rate on any Fixed Account
Allocation will be effective for the Initial Interest Guarantee Period
applicable to such Fixed Account Allocation. The Initial Interest
Guarantee Period shall be no less than the twelve (12) month period
commencing on the date a Fixed Account Allocation is received by First
SAFECO.
(b) Upon the expiration of the Initial Interest Guarantee Period
applicable to any Fixed Account Allocation, the Guaranteed Interest
Rate applicable to such a Fixed Account Allocation plus credited
interest will be that rate determined by First SAFECO to be effective
for each successive Subsequent Interest Guarantee Period and may or
may not be the same as any interest rate applicable to new Fixed
Account Allocations. The Subsequent Interest Guarantee Period shall be
the period commencing on the expiration of the Initial Guarantee
Period and shall be no less than twelve (12) months. Each successive
Subsequent Interest Guarantee Period shall be the period commencing on
the expiration of the prior Subsequent Interest Guarantee Period and
shall be no less than twelve (12) months.
(c) First SAFECO's Guaranteed Interest Rate on any subsequent Fixed
Account Allocation will be that rate in effect at the time of such
Fixed Account Allocation, and may or may not be the same as any
interest rate previously applicable to Fixed Account Allocations or
any interest rate for Subsequent Interest Rate Guarantee Periods.
(d) The Guaranteed Interest Rate credited to monies allocated to the Fixed
Account will never be less than an annual effective interest rate of
3% for any Contract Year.
I5 Annuity Options: On the date upon which First SAFECO is to issue an
Annuity, First SAFECO shall charge the premium for such Annuity against the
Fixed Account. The entire present value of the Fixed Account is available
to pay the Annuity and any premium taxes that may be required by state law;
the Annuity premium is calculated in accordance with the Fixed Annuity
Purchase Rate Table in Section I8, or current annuity rates if more
favorable. An Annuity may be issued only in one of the forms described
below, or such other forms which First SAFECO agrees to issue.
(a) Fixed Life Annuity: Monthly payments are made to the Annuitant
commencing on the Annuity Date, if he or she is then living, and the
last payment is that payment due immediately on or before his or her
death. No death benefit is payable under this option.
(b) Fixed Life Annuity with Guaranteed Period: Monthly payments are made
to the Annuitant commencing on the Annuity Date, if he or she is then
living. If at the death of the Annuitant the guaranteed number of
payments has not been received by the Annuitant, then payments will be
made to the Beneficiary for the remainder of the guaranteed period.
- 13 -
17
(c) Fixed Joint and Survivor Life Annuity: Monthly payments are made to
the Annuitant commencing on the Annuity Date. After the death of the
Annuitant, payments will be continued to the Co-Annuitant for as long
as he or she lives. The written request for this option must specify
the percentage value of monthly payments to continue to the
Co-Annuitant.
(d) Systematic Payment Annuity: A specified amount is Withdrawn for
payment to the Annuitant on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. The
amount Withdrawn shall be the amount calculated to deplete the Fixed
Account over the life expectancy of the Annuitant or the joint life
expectancy of the Annuitant and Beneficiary, with at least 50% of the
payments expected to be made during the Annuitant's life. The balance
remaining in the Fixed Account after any such payment will continue to
earn interest in the same manner as prior to the Withdrawal. This
Option will remain in effect unless the Annuitant subsequently elects
to receive payments under Section I5(a), (b), and (c) or surrender the
Contract after the eighth Contract Year.
I6 Automatic Option: If, as of the Annuity Date, an Annuity Option has not
been selected, First SAFECO will make payments under the Fixed Life Annuity
with Guaranteed Period option of Section I5(b) with 120 monthly payments
guaranteed.
I7 Commencement of Annuity Payments: Subject to the limitations of Sections
A4, E8, and I5, an Owner may elect:
(a) to have variable Annuity payments commence on the Annuity Date,
pursuant to one of the Settlement Options described in Section E8,
and:
(i) continue to have Net Purchase Payments credited to the Fixed
Account; and
(ii) choose a "second Annuity Date" for the commencement of fixed
Annuity payments; or
(b) to have fixed Annuity payments commence on the Annuity Date, pursuant
to one of the Annuity Options described in Section I5, and:
(i) continue to have Net Purchase Payments credited to a
Sub-Account(s); and
(ii) choose a "second Annuity Date" for the commencement of variable
Annuity payments.
First SAFECO must receive any such election and the selected "second
Annuity Date" prior to any Annuity Date. If no such election is made, First
SAFECO will commence both variable and fixed Annuity payments on the
Annuity Date pursuant to the applicable Annuity Options. Any Annuity Date
selected, including the "second Annuity Date," cannot be later than the
date the Annuitant attains age 85.
I8 Mortality Tables Used: The rates in the Fixed Annuity Purchase Rate Table
are based upon the 1983a Mortality Table Projected 20 Years with Projection
Scale G, separate male and female tables. The effective interest rate
assumed in the Fixed Annuity Purchase Rate Table is 3%.
