ACCUMULATION PROVISIONS
Prior to the Annuity Date, the Contract Value is the sum of the Separate Account
Accumulation Value and the Fixed Account Accumulation Value.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Separate Account Accumulation Value under the Contract shall be the sum of
the values of the Accumulation Units held in the Variable Portfolios for the
Owner.
NUMBER OF ACCUMULATION UNITS
Your Contract is credited with Accumulation Units of the Separate Account when
amounts are allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s). For that portion of each
Purchase Payment and/or transfer amount allocated to a Variable Portfolio, the
number of Accumulation Units credited is equal to the sum of each Purchase
Payment and/or transfer amount allocated to the Variable Portfolio reduced by
premium taxes, if any:
Divided by
The Accumulation Unit value for that Variable Portfolio for the NYSE business
day in which the Purchase Payment or transfer amount is allocated.
The number of Accumulation Units will be reduced for Withdrawals of Contract
Value, annuitizations, amounts transferred out of a Variable Portfolio, the
Contract Maintenance Fee and applicable charges for elected features as set
forth in endorsements to this contract. Reductions will be made as of the NYSE
business day in which We receive all requirements for the transaction, as
appropriate.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE (AUV)
The AUV of a Variable Portfolio for any NYSE business day is calculated by
subtracting (2) from (1) and dividing the result by (3) where:
8
(1) is the total value at the end of the given NYSE business day of the
assets attributable to the the Variable Portfolio minus any applicable
liabilities other than those owed to the Contractholders;
(2) is the amount equal to the daily Separate Account Charge plus the daily
charge for any optional features that impose a daily charge;
(3) is the number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of the given
NYSE business day.
FIXED ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Fixed Account Accumulation Value, if any, shall be the sum of all monies
allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account Option(s), if available, reduced
by any applicable premium taxes, plus all interest credited on the Fixed Account
Option(s) during the period that You have Contract Value allocated to the Fixed
Account Options. This amount shall be adjusted for Withdrawals, annuitizations,
transfers, and the deduction of the Contract Maintenance Fee The Fixed Account
Accumulation Value shall not be less than the minimum values required by law in
the state where this Contract is issued.
FIXED ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PERIOD OPTIONS AND INTEREST CREDITING
The portion of Your Contract Value within the Fixed Account, if any, is credited
with interest at rates guaranteed by Us for the Guarantee Period(s) selected.
Interest is credited on a daily basis at the then applicable effective interest
rate for the applicable Guarantee Period. You may select from one or more
Guarantee Periods which we may offer at any particular time. We reserve the
right at any time to add or delete Guarantee Periods. If You have allocated any
part of Your initial Purchase Payment to a Guarantee Period, the amount
allocated, as well as the duration of the Guarantee Period is shown on the
Application or confirmation thereof as completed by You. The interest rate
applicable to an allocation of Purchase Payment or transfer of Contract Value to
a Guarantee Period is the rate in effect for that Guarantee Period at the time
of the allocation or transfer. If You have allocated or transferred amounts at
different times to the Fixed Account, each allocation or transfer may have a
unique effective interest rate associated with that amount. We guarantee that
the effective annual rate of interest for the Fixed Account, including any of
the Guaranteed Periods, will not be less than the Minimum Guarantee Rate as
mandated by Your state, and shown on Contract Data Page.
9
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA)
Any payments and values based on the available Multi-year Fixed Account Options
may be subject to an MVA, the operation of which may result in upward or
downward adjustments in the Contract Value, if withdrawn, transferred or
annuitized prior to the end of the respective Guarantee Period. The MVA will be
calculated by multiplying the amount withdrawn, transferred or annuitized by the
following formula:
{(1 + I)/(1+J+0.0050)}(N/12) -1
I = The interest rate currently in effect for that Guarantee Period.
J = The interest rate available for the Guarantee Period equal to the number of
years (rounded up to an integer) remaining in the current Guarantee Period at
the time of withdrawal, transfer or annuitization. In the determination of J, if
the Company currently does not offer the applicable Guarantee Period, then the
rate will be determined by linear interpolation of the interest rate for the
nearest two Guarantee Periods that are available.
N = The number of full months remaining in the current Guarantee Period at the
time the withdrawal or annuitization request is processed.
If a Withdrawal Charge is applied to a Withdrawal, then the MVA will be applied
to the withdrawal amount net of the Withdrawal Charge.
There will be no MVA assessed against any Fixed Account Options subject to an
MVA in the following situations: (1) to pay a Death Benefit paid upon death of
the Owner; (2) on amounts withdrawn to pay fees or charges; (3) on amounts
withdrawn from the Fixed Account Options within thirty (30) days after the end
of the Guarantee Period; (4) on annuitizations on the Latest Annuity Date.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
We will deduct the following charges from the Contract:
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE FEE
The charge specified on the Contract Data Page will be deducted on each Contract
anniversary that occurs on or prior to the Annuity Date. It will also be
deducted when the Contract Value is withdrawn in full if the Withdrawal is not
on the Contract anniversary. We reserve the right to assess this charge on a
class basis that differs from the charge specified on the Contract Data Page. We
also reserve the right to waive the fee for certain Contract Values [$50,000.00
and up].
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
The charge, if any, may be deducted upon withdrawal of any portion of the
Contract Value. See WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS.
10
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGE
This charge, as shown on the Contract Data Page, on an annualized basis equals a
percentage of the average daily ending value of the assets attributable to the
Accumulation Units of the Variable Portfolio(s) to which the Contract is
allocated. This charge compensates Us for mortality and expense risks,
distribution, and administration expenses associated with the Contract. We
subtract this charge daily. We reserve the right to assess a charge on a class
basis which differs from the charge specified on the Contract Data Page.
TRANSFER PROVISIONS
Prior to the Annuity Date, You may transfer all or part of Your Contract Value
from any Variable Portfolio to any other Variable Portfolio(s) or available
Fixed Account Options subject to applicable restrictions. The minimum amount
that can be transferred and the amount that can remain in a Variable Portfolio
or available Fixed Account Option are subject to Company limits. We further
reserve the right to restrict Your transfer privileges, including possible
termination of those privileges in Our sole discretion.
TRANSFERS OF ACCUMULATION AND ANNUITY UNITS BETWEEN VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS AND
FIXED ACCOUNTS
Prior to the Annuity Date, transfers are subject to certain restrictions. You
may transfer all or a portion of Your Contract Value from one Variable Portfolio
to another Variable Portfolio(s) or any available Fixed Account Option(s) other
than the DCA Fixed Account Options. You may also transfer from any available
Fixed Account Option(s) to the Variable Portfolio(s) and/or any available Fixed
Account Option(s) of the contract. A transfer will result in the redemption of
Accumulation Units in a Variable Portfolio and the purchase of Accumulation
Units in the other Variable Portfolio. Transfers will be effected at the end of
the NYSE business day in which We receive Your completed request for the
transfer.
After the Annuity Date, transfers into and out of any available Fixed Account
Option(s) are not allowed. You may transfer all or a portion of Your Contract
Value from one Variable Portfolio to another Variable Portfolio(s). A transfer
will result in the redemption of Annuity Units in a Variable Portfolio and the
purchase of Annuity Units in the other Variable Portfolio. Transfers will be
effected for the last NYSE business day of the month in which We receive Your
request for the transfer.
WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
On or before the Annuity Date and while the Owner is living, You may withdraw
all or part of Your Contract Value under this Contract by informing Us at Our
Annuity Service Center. For a full withdrawal, this Contract must be returned to
Our Annuity Service Center. The minimum amount that can be withdrawn and the
amount remaining after withdrawal are subject to Company limits.
Unless You tell Us otherwise in writing, Withdrawals will be deducted from the
Contract Value in proportion to their allocation among any available Fixed
Account Options and the Variable Portfolios. Withdrawals will be based on values
for the NYSE business day in which the request for withdrawal and the Contract
(in the case of a full withdrawal), are received at Our Annuity
11
Service Center. Unless the SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS or DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS
sections are in effect, payment of withdrawals will be made within seven
calendar days.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
Withdrawals of all or a portion of the Contract Value may be subject to a
Withdrawal Charge as shown in the chart below. The Withdrawal Charge percentage
applied to any withdrawal will depend on how long the Purchase Payment to which
the withdrawal is attributed has been in the Contract. No Withdrawal Charge is
deducted on an amount which is considered a Penalty-Free Withdrawal.
For the purpose of determining the Withdrawal Charge, a withdrawal will be
attributed to amounts in the following order: (1) penalty-free earnings in the
Contract; (2) Purchase Payments which are no longer subject to the Withdrawal
Charge and not yet withdrawn; (3) any remaining Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount
(except in the case of a full surrender); and (4) Purchase Payments subject to a
Withdrawal Charge. Purchase Payments, when withdrawn, are assumed to be
withdrawn on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You will not receive the benefit
of a Penalty-Free Withdrawal in case of a full surrender.
Number of Contribution Years Elapsed Withdrawal Charge as a
Between Contribution Year of Purchase Payment Percentage of Withdrawn
and Contribution Year of Withdrawal Purchase Payment
1 7%
2 6%
3 5%
4 4%
5 3%
6 2%
7 1%
8+ 0%
The Withdrawal Charge will be assessed against the Variable Portfolio(s) and the
available Fixed Account Option(s) in the same proportion as the remaining
Contract Value is allocated unless You request that the Withdrawal come from a
particular Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account Option. After a
Withdrawal is taken, the remaining Contract Value must be sufficient to cover
any Withdrawal Charge remaining upon full surrender of the Contract.
PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS
As of any day, You may make a withdrawal of up to the Penalty-Free Withdrawal
amount for that day without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. Any Penalty-Free
Withdrawal made in excess of penalty-free earnings in the Contract is considered
to be a withdrawal of future penalty-free earnings and is therefore not a
withdrawal of the Total Invested Amount. On any day, penalty-free earnings in
the Contract are calculated as the Contract Value at the end of that day less
the Total Invested Amount.
During the first Contract Year, the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount is equal to
the penalty-free earnings in the Contract as of the date of withdrawal.
Alternatively, during the first Contract Year, You may make withdrawals of the
Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount through the Systematic Withdrawal Program. The
Penalty-Free Withdrawal
12
amount as of any systematic withdrawal date is 10% of the Total Invested Amount
less any withdrawals already made during the Contract Year.
After the first Contract Year, the maximum Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as of
the date of the withdrawal is the greater of:
(a) penalty-free earnings in the Contract as of that date; or
(b) 10% of the Total Invested Amount on deposit for at least one year, less any
withdrawals already made during the year.
Although amounts withdrawn free of a Withdrawal Charge reduce Contract Value,
they do not reduce the Total Invested Amount for purposes of calculating the
Withdrawal Charge or for the purposes of calculating penalty-free earnings in
the Contract. As a result, You will not receive the benefit of a Penalty-Free
Withdrawal in a full surrender.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
Prior to the Annuity Date, You may elect to participate in a Systematic
Withdrawal Program by informing Us at Our Annuity Service Center. The Systematic
Withdrawal Program allows You to make automatic withdrawals from Your account
monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. The minimum systematic withdrawal
amount is subject to Company limits. Any amount withdrawn through the Systematic
Withdrawal Program may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge [and a Market Value
Adjustment] as discussed in the WITHDRAWAL CHARGE and PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS
[and MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT] provisions. You may terminate Your participation
in the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time by sending Us a written
request. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Systematic
Withdrawal Program at any time.
Systematic withdrawals will be deducted from the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount
available each Contract Year.
DEATH PROVISIONS
Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, all payments of
benefits under this Contract will be made in a manner that satisfies the
requirements of IRC Section 72(s), as amended from time to time. If the Contract
is owned by a trust or other non-natural person, We will treat the death of any
Annuitant as the death of the "Primary Annuitant" and as the death of any Owner.
DUE PROOF OF DEATH
Due Proof of Death means:
1. a certified copy of a death certificate; or
2. a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or
3. a written statement by a medical doctor who attended the
deceased Owner at the time of death; or
4. any other proof satisfactory to Us.
13
DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
We will pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary upon Our receiving all Required
Documentation. Unless You have previously designated a payment option on behalf
of the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary must select one of the following options:
1. Immediately collect the death benefit in a lump sum payment. If a
lump sum payment is elected, payment will be in accordance with
any applicable laws and regulations governing payments on death;
or
2. Collect the death benefit in the form of one of the Annuity
Payment Options. If an Annuity Payment Option is desired, an
option must be elected within 60 days of Our receipt of: (a) Due
Proof of Death of the Owner; (b) an election form specifying the
payment option and (c) any other documentation We may require.
The payments must be over the life of the Beneficiary or over a
period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the
Beneficiary. Payments under this option must commence within one
year after the Owner's death, otherwise, the death benefit will
be paid in accordance with option 1 above; or
3. If eligible, continue the Contract as the Spousal Beneficiary. On
the Continuation Date, We will contribute to the Contract any
amount by which the Death Benefit exceeds the Contract Value,
calculated as of the Owner's date of death. This amount is not
considered a Purchase Payment except in the calculation of
certain death benefits upon the death of the Spousal Beneficiary.
If this option is elected, no death benefit is paid.
You cannot change any elected death benefit option specified on the Contract
Data Page. Your Spousal Beneficiary may discontinue any optional death benefit
option on the Continuation Date but cannot change the death benefit option
elected by you on the Application. Upon the Spousal Beneficiary's death, the
entire interest of the Contract must be distributed immediately under option 1
or 2 as provided under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
In any event, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within
five years from the date of death of the Owner unless payment option 1 or 2 was
selected under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.
AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT
The amount of the death benefit will be determined based upon Your death benefit
selection. Once selected, the death benefit option cannot be changed. The death
benefit options are as described below.
14
OPTION I: PURCHASE PAYMENT ACCUMULATION ("PPA") DEATH BENEFIT OPTION

DEATH OF OWNER OR ANNUITANT ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE
If any Owner or Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date and before the
entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, We will pay the remaining
portion of the annuity payout to the Beneficiary upon Our receipt of Required
Documentation. For further information pertaining to death of the Annuitant, see
ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is selected by the Owner. While the Owner is living and before
the Annuity Date, the Owner may change the Beneficiary by written notice in a
form satisfactory to Us. A change in Beneficiary will take effect on the date We
receive the written notice at Our Annuity Service Center. If two or more persons
are named as Beneficiaries under the Contract those surviving the Owner will
share equally unless otherwise stated; and each must elect to receive their
respective portions of the death benefit according to the options listed under
DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE. If the Annuitant survives the Owner, and
there are no surviving Beneficiaries, the Annuitant will be deemed the
Beneficiary.
18
Joint Owners, if applicable, shall be each other's primary Beneficiary. Joint
Annuitants, if any, when the Owner is a non-natural person, shall be each
other's primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated
as a contingent Beneficiary.
If the Owner is also the Annuitant and there are no surviving Beneficiaries upon
Our receipt of all Required Documentation we will calculate the Death Benefit
and it will be paid to the estate of the Owner in accordance with option 1,
under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
ANNUITY DATE
The Owner specifies an anticipated Annuity Date on the Application. The Owner
may change the Annuity Date at any time, at least seven days prior to the
Annuity Date, by written notice to the Company at its Annuity Service Center.
The Annuity Date must always be the first day of the calendar month and must be
at least two years after the Contract Date, but not beyond the later of the
Owner's [90th birthday or ten years after the Contract Date] ("Latest Annuity
Date"). If the Owner is a non-natural person, the Latest Annuity Date is the
later of the Annuitant's [90th birthday or ten years after the Contract Date]).
If no Annuity Date is specified on the Application, the Annuity Date will be the
Latest Annuity Date, as set by the Company.
PAYMENTS TO OWNER
Unless You request otherwise, We will make annuity payments to You. If You want
the annuity payments to be made to some other Payee, We will make such payments
subject to receipt of a written request filed at the Annuity Service Center no
later than thirty (30) days before the due date of the first annuity payment.
Any such request is subject to the rights of any assignee. No payments available
to or being paid to the Payee while the Annuitant is alive can be transferred,
commuted, anticipated or encumbered.
FIXED ANNUITIZATION
If a Fixed Annuitization has been elected, the proceeds payable under this
Contract less any applicable premium taxes, shall be applied to the payment of
the fixed annuity payment option elected at rates which are at least equal to
the annuity rates based upon the applicable tables in the Contract. In no event
will the Fixed Annuitization be changed once it begins.
AMOUNT OF FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
The amount of each fixed annuity payment will be determined by applying the
portion of the Contract Value allocated by You for Fixed Annuitization, less any
applicable premium taxes, to the annuity table applicable to the fixed annuity
payment option chosen.
AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
(a) FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT: The dollar amount of the first Variable
Annuitization payment will be determined by applying the portion of the
Contract Value allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s), less any
applicable premium taxes, to rates which are at least equal to the
annuity rates based upon the annuity table applicable to the variable
annuity payment option chosen. If the Contract Value is allocated to
more than one Variable Portfolio, the value of Your interest in each
Variable Portfolio is applied separately
19
to the variable annuity payment option table to determine the amount of
the first annuity payment attributable to each Variable Portfolio.
(b) NUMBER OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNITS: The number of Annuity Units for each
applicable Variable Portfolio is the amount of the first annuity
payment attributable to that Variable Portfolio divided by the value of
the applicable Annuity Unit for that Variable Portfolio as of the
Annuity Date. The number will not change as a result of investment
experience.
(c) VALUE OF EACH VARIABLE ANNUITY UNIT: The value of an Annuity Unit may
increase or decrease from one month to the next. For any month, the
value of an Annuity Unit of a particular Variable Portfolio is the
value of that Annuity Unit as of the last NYSE business day of the
preceding month, multiplied by the Net Investment Factor for that
Variable Portfolio for the last NYSE business day of the current month.
The Net Investment Factor for any Variable Portfolio for a certain month is
determined by dividing (1) by (2) where:
(1) is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Variable
Portfolio determined as of the last business day at
the end of that month, and
(2) is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Variable
Portfolio determined as of the last business day at
the end of the preceding month.
The result is then multiplied by a factor that neutralizes the assumed
investment rate of 3.5%.
(d) SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS: After the first Variable
Annuitization payment future payments will vary in amount according to
the investment performance of the applicable Variable Portfolio(s) to
which Your Purchase Payments are allocated. The amount may change from
month to month. The amount of each subsequent payment for each Variable
Portfolio is :
The number of Annuity Units for each Variable Portfolio as determined for the
first annuity payment
Multiplied by
The value of an Annuity Unit for that Variable Portfolio at the end of the month
immediately preceding the month in which payment is due.
We guarantee that the amount of each Variable Annuitization payments will not be
affected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.
20

will be adjusted using the correct Age and sex, according to Our rates in effect

deducted from the next payment(s) due. Any underpayment from the fixed annuity
payment options, plus interest at the rate of 4% per year, will be paid in full
