 READ YOUR POLICY CAREFULLY 
 This policy is a legal contract between the Owner and Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company issued in consideration of the payment of an initial premium. This annuity policy is delivered in, and
is governed by the laws of, the State of New York. 
 Amounts withdrawn or Surrendered may be subject to surrender charges.
This policy includes provisions which may waive surrender charges under certain circumstances. The value held in the Separate Account may increase or decrease in value. Policy Value and benefits based on Separate Account assets are not guaranteed
and will decrease and increase with investment experience. 
 We agree to provide annuity payments, to pay withdrawal
benefits, and to pay Surrender benefits or death proceeds in accordance with this policy, as applicable. 
 This policy permits
the accumulation of funds on a tax-deferred basis and provides a periodic annuity payment for the life of the Annuitant or for a certain period of time, or a combination of both. Payments start on the Annuity Commencement Date. 

The smallest annual rate of investment return that would have to be earned on the assets of the Separate Account so that the dollar
amount of variable Annuity Payments will not decrease is 4.25%. 
 Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, a daily charge,
corresponding to an annual charge of no more than 2.50% for the death benefit option, is applied by the Company to the assets of the Separate Account. The corresponding annual charge after the Annuity Commencement Date is no more than 2.50%
regardless of the death benefit option elected prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. 
 RIGHT TO CANCEL

 SECTION 3 – GENERAL PROVISIONS 

The Contract 
 The entire
contract consists of this policy, the Policy Data page, endorsements or riders, if any, and the application signed by You, a copy of which is attached hereto. If any portion of this policy or rider attached hereto shall be found to be invalid,
unenforceable or illegal, the remainder shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, but shall have the same force and effect as if the invalid, unenforceable or illegal portion had not been inserted. All statements in the application made
by or under the authority of the applicant are representations and not warranties. Nothing is incorporated by reference, unless a copy is endorsed upon or attached to the policy. Nothing in the policy or any attached endorsements or riders thereto
invalidates or impairs any right granted to the Owner by New York law or this policy. 
 Modification of Policy 

No change in this policy is valid unless made in writing by us and approved by one of our authorized officers. 

Tax Qualification and Change of Law 
 This policy is intended to qualify as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this policy are to be interpreted to maintain such qualification, notwithstanding any other
provisions to the contrary. To maintain such tax qualification, we reserve the right to amend this policy, retroactively or prospectively, to reflect any amendment or clarifications that may be needed or are appropriate to maintain such tax
qualification or to conform this policy to any applicable changes in the tax qualification requirements. Any such amendment will be filed with and approved by the Department of Financial Services prior to use. We will send You a copy in the event of
any such amendment. If You refuse such an amendment, You must provide written notice to us, and Your refusal may result in adverse tax consequences. We reserve the right to amend this policy or riders attached to, as nesessary to comply with
specific direction provided by our state or federal regulators, through change of law, rule, regulation, bulletin, regulatory directives or agreements. If any change deminishes Your rights or benefits under this policy, Your written consent is
required. 
 Non-Participating 
 This policy will not share in our profits. 
 Age or Sex Corrections 

We may require proof of the Annuitant’s or Owner’s age and/or sex before any payments associated with the death benefit or any
rider(s) attached to this policy are made. If the age and/or sex of the Annuitant or Owner is incorrectly stated, we will base any such payment associated with the death benefit and/or rider benefit proceeds on the Annuitant’s or Owner’s
correct age and/or sex. If required by law to ignore differences in the sex of the Annuitant, the annuity payments will be determined using the unisex factors in Section 12. 

We may require proof of the Annuitant’s age and/or sex before starting annuity payments. If the age and/or sex (or both) of the
Annuitant is incorrectly stated, we will correct the amount payable based upon the Annuitant’s correct age and/or sex, if applicable. Any underpayment made by us will be paid with the next payment. Any overpayment by us will be deducted from
future payments. Any underpayment or overpayment will include annual interest at a rate of 1% per year, from the date of the underpayment or overpayment to the date of the adjustment. 
 Incontestability 
 This policy shall be incontestable from the Policy Date.

 Involuntary Cashout 
 If, at anytime, Your Policy Value is below $2,000, and there have been no Premium Payments made to the policy within the last three Policy Years, we reserve the right to pay the full Policy Value and
terminate the policy.

	  	Page 6









 Evidence of Survival 
 We have the right to require resasonable and satisfactory evidence that a person is alive if a payment is based on that person being alive. 
 Rights of Owner 
 The Owner may, while the Annuitant is living: 

					
		 	 a.
	  	 Assign this policy;

		 	 b.
	  	 Surrender the policy to us;

		 	 c.
	  	 Amend or modify the policy with our consent;

		 	 d.
	  	 Receive annuity payments or name a payee to receive the payments; and

		 	 e.
	  	 Exercise, receive and enjoy every other right and benefit contained in the policy.


 The use of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary, and of
the spouse in a community or marital property state. Unless we have been notified of a community or marital property interest in this policy, we will rely on our good faith belief that no such interest exists and will assume no responsibility for
inquiry. 
 Change of Ownership 
 In the case of a non-tax-qualified annuity, You can change the Owner of this policy from Yourself to a new Owner. You must send written notification, to our Administrative Office, which contains all
necessary information to make the change. Any Owner change made, unless otherwise specified by the Owner, shall take effect on the date the notification is signed by the Owner, when received in Good Order, subject to any payments made or actions
taken by us prior to receipt of the notification. No change will apply to any payment we made before the written notice was received. 
 We may require that the change be endorsed in the policy. Changing the Owner does not change the beneficiary or the Annuitant. A change of Ownership may result in adverse tax consequences. A change in
Ownership due to death is outlined further in Section 9. 
 Assignment 

In the case of a non-tax-qualified annuity, this policy may be assigned. You must send written notification, to our Administrative Office,
which contains all necessary information to make the change. Any assignment made, unless otherwise specified by the Owner, shall take effect on the date the notification is signed by the Owner, when received in Good Order, subject to any payments
made or actions taken by us prior to receipt of the notification. 
 We assume no responsibility for the validity of any
assignment. Any claim made under an assignment shall be subject to proof of interest and the extent of the assignment. Assignment does not change the benefit or amount of the policy. 

This policy may be applied for and issued to qualify as a tax-qualified annuity under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC). Ownership of this policy is then restricted so it will comply with provisions of the IRC. 
 Assignment of this policy
may result in adverse tax consequences. 
 Beneficiary 
 Amounts payable upon death in accordance with Section 9, may be payable to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. Such beneficiary(ies) must be named and may be changed without beneficiary
consent (unless irrevocably designated or required by law) by notifying us in writing, on a form acceptable to us. Unless otherwise specified by You, the change will take effect upon the date You sign it, whether or not You are living when we
receive it, subject to any payments made or actions taken by the Company prior to receipt of this notice. The notice must have been postmarked (or show other evidence of delivery that is acceptable to us) on or before the Decedent’s date of
death. Your most recent beneficiary change notice will replace any prior beneficiary designations. No change will apply to any payment we made before the written notice was received by us. If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, You may designate a new
beneficiary. 
 You may elect the method of payment for each named beneficiary, subject to our then current rules, prior to the
date of death of the Decedent. When no such election is made as to a specific beneficiary, such beneficiary must elect the method of payment within 60 days of the date we receive all required documentation, in Good Order, to pay the amount payable
to that beneficiary. 

  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 7









 If there is more than one beneficiary at any level (primary or contingent), and You failed
to specify their interest, they will share equally. 
  

					
		 	 a.
	  	General Distribution Rules

 Unless You have provided other specific instructions to us, amounts payable upon death
will be paid in accordance with Section 9 and as outlined below: 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 If a primary beneficiary is alive at the time of Decedent’s death, and there is no surviving Owner, payment will be made to the primary
beneficiary;

		 	 2.
	  	 If a primary beneficiary dies before the Decedent and there are additional living primary beneficiaries, the deceased primary beneficiary’s interest will
be shared proportionately with all living primary beneficiaries;

		 	 3.
	  	 When all primary beneficiaries die before the Decedent’s death, payment will be made to the living contingent beneficiary(ies), if
any;

		 	 4.
	  	 If a contingent beneficiary dies before the Decedent and there are additional living contingent beneficiaries, the deceased contingent beneficiary’s
interest will be shared proportionately with all living contingent beneficiaries;

		 	 5.
	  	 In the event no primary or contingent beneficiaries have been named and/or all have died before the Decedent, the Owner’s estate will become the
beneficiary;

		 	 6.
	  	 If a primary or contingent beneficiary dies after the Decedent’s death, but prior to death proceeds being payable to the beneficiary, payment will be
made to the beneficiary’s estate.


  

					
		 	 b.
	  	Other Specific Instructions 

 You may provide specific instructions to the Company which direct that upon the death of a
beneficiary, that their interest pass to a specific contingent beneficiary(ies) or per stirpes. 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 Per Stirpes: If You provide instructions that a specific primary or contingent beneficiary’s share be passed per stirpes, we will pay that
beneficiary’s share to their identifiable lineal descendants who are living at the time of Decedent’s death.

		 	 2.
	  	 Specific Contingent: If You provide instructions that a specific primary or contingent beneficiary’s share be passed to a specified contingent
beneficiary(ies), we will pay that specific beneficiary’s share to those identifiable specific contingent beneficiaries who are living (or in existence) at the time of Decedent’s death.


 A deceased beneficiary share will be distributed as outlined under General Distributions
Rules above. 
 Protection of Proceeds 
 Unless You so direct by filing written notice with us, no beneficiary may assign any payments under this policy before the same are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments under this policy will
be subject to the claims of creditors of any beneficiary. 
 Deferment 

Payment of any amount due from the Separate Account for a Surrender, withdrawal or death proceeds will generally occur within seven days
from the date we receive in Good Order all required information. We may defer payments or transfers from the Separate Account if: 

					
		 	 a.
	  	 The New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for usual weekends or holidays or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;

		 	 b.
	  	 An emergency exists as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the SEC requires that trading be restricted; or

		 	 c.
	  	 The SEC permits a delay for the protection of Owners.


 We may defer payment of any transfers, withdrawals or Surrender proceeds from the Fixed Account, if
offered, for up to 6 months from the date we receive Your request. If the Owner or Annuitant dies after the request is received, but before the request is processed, the request will be processed before the death proceeds are determined. Interest
will be paid on any amount deferred for 10 days or more. We will pay interest on that amount from the date of receipt to the date of payment, at a current interest rate determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. 

If we delay payment of any transactions as noted above, we will disclose to You the specified date on which the above transactions will
be effective and the reason for the delay.

	  	 The amounts credited or debited to the Policy Value during the current report period;

 A report as described above will be mailed to Your last known address as shown in our records. The

SECTION 4 – PREMIUM PAYMENTS 
 Payment of Premiums 
 Premium Payments may be made any time while this
policy is in force and prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, subject to the minimums and maximums as specified in Section 2 – Policy Data. We may prohibit Premium Payments and/or transfers to the Fixed Account options described in
Section 11 if the yield on investments at such time is not sufficient to support the statutory minimum interest rate guarantee and other company expenses. We will provide 30 days advance written notice of this decision. We will also provide
timely written notification to You once any such prohibition of premiums to the Fixed Account is no longer in effect. 
 Premium Payment Date

 The Premium Payment date is the date the Premium Payment is credited to the policy. The initial Premium Payment will be
credited to the policy within two Market Days after the Market Day we receive it and Your complete policy information in Good Order. Subsequent Premium Payments will be credited to the policy as of the Market Day the Premium Payment and required
information are received in Good Order.

Premium Payments may be applied to various Investment Options, which we make available. For each Premium Payment, You must indicate what
percentage to allocate to various Investment Options. For additional Premium Payments, allocations will be what is currently indicated by You. Each percentage may be either zero or any whole number; however, the allocation among all Investment
Options must total 100%. 
 Change of Allocation 
 You may change allocations for additional Premium Payments by providing us instructions. The allocation change will apply to Premium Payments received on or after the date we receive the allocation change
in Good Order. We will allocate subsequent Premium Payments the same way, unless You request a different allocation. 
 Premium Taxes

 The insurance laws of the State of New York as of 2012 do not allow the imposition of premium taxes on annuity
considerations. Therefore, wherever reference is made in this annuity policy to the deduction of premium taxes, such deductions will not be made while the Owner is a resident of the State of New York, unless subsequent changes in New York’s
insurance laws provide otherwise. The amount of any applicable premium tax imposed on amounts relating to this annuity policy may be deducted from this annuity policy. For purposes of this annuity policy, premium taxes include retaliatory taxes or
similar taxes.

 SECTION 5 – CASH VALUE AND WITHDRAWALS 

A.  Cash Value 

On or before the Annuity Commencement Date, You may make withdrawals or Surrender the Cash Value. The Cash Value is equal to the Policy
Value less any surrender charges. Information on the current amount of Your Cash Value is available upon request. We must receive Your withdrawal or Surrender request, in Good Order, before the Annuity Commencement Date. 

There is no Cash Value once an income option has been selected, all necessary instructions are received in Good Order, and the Company
has issued a supplementary contract. 
 B.  Withdrawals and Surrenders 

You may, on or before the Annuity Commmencement Date, withdraw all (Surrender) or a portion (withdrawal) of the amount available under
this policy, provided we receive Your request, in Good Order, while this policy is in effect and before the Annuity Commencement Date. The minimum withdrawal is $500, with the exception of systematic payouts and required minimum distributions.

 You may specify that the withdrawal be taken from one or more specific Investment Options or pro rata from all Investment
Options. If You do not specify the Investment Option from which the withdrawal is to be made, the withdrawal will be taken pro rata from all Investment Options relative to the value in each Investment Option. 

Withdrawals will reduce the amount of the death proceeds. Withdrawals and Surrenders will normally be effective as of the end of the
Market Day the request is received in Good Order. 
 The gross withdrawal is the total amount which will be deducted from Your
Policy Value as a result of each withdrawal. The gross withdrawal may be more than Your requested withdrawal amount, depending on whether surrender charges apply at the time of the withdrawal. 

The gross withdrawal = R + SC, where: 
 “R” Is the requested withdrawal; 
 “SC” Is the
surrender charge on the excess withdrawal amount. 
 The excess withdrawal amount is the portion of the requested withdrawal or
Surrender that is subject to surrender charges (that is, the portion which is in excess of the surrender charge-free portion). For example, if the requested withdrawal or Surrender amount is $1,000, and the surrender charge-free amount is $200, then
the excess withdrawal would be $800. 
 Excess withdrawals will reduce the Policy Value by an amount equal to X + Z; where:

 “X” Is the excess withdrawal; and 

“Z” Is surrender charge on X. 
 Each withdrawal or Surrender consists of a portion which may be subject to a surrender charge (that is, the excess withdrawal) and a remaining portion that is free from surrender charge (that is, the
surrender charge-free amount). Either portion may be zero (0) depending on the withdrawal or Surrender requested and prior amounts withdrawn. 
 Systematic Payout Option 
 A Systematic Payout Option (SPO) is a series of
pre-scheduled withdrawals. Beginning in the first Policy Year, a SPO is available on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. At the time a SPO is made, each such payout must be at least $50. Monthly and quarterly SPO’s must be sent
through electronic funds transfer directly to a checking, savings or other similar financial account. You may stop SPO payouts at any time with a 30 day written notice sent to our Administrative Office. 

  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 10









 Surrender Charge-Free Amount 
 Each Policy Year, You may withdraw or Surrender a portion of Your Policy Value free from any surrender charge. The surrender charge-free amount each Policy Year is equal to 10% of the total Premium
Payments, less the total surrender charge-free amount or Earnings previously withdrawn in the same Policy Year. Any unused portion of Your surrender charge-free amount cannot be carried forward to subsequent Policy Years. 

A surrender charge will not be assessed against Earnings withdrawn from Your policy. Withdrawals of Your Earnings will reduce Your annual
surrender charge-free amount on a dollar for dollar basis. 
 Amounts withdrawn under one of the options below may reduce the
amount available free of surrender charges under another option. Surrender charges may be waived as described below. 
 Required Minimum
Distribution 
 For tax-qualified plans and policies, withdrawals taken to satisfy required minimum distribution requirements
under Section 
 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) are available with no surrender charges. The amount available from
this policy with respect to the required minimum distribution is based solely on this policy. 
 Any amount requested in excess
of the IRC required minimum distribution will have the appropriate surrender charges applied, unless the excess distribution qualifies as surrender charge-free under any additional options provided. 

Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Waiver 
 This benefit is not intended to provide long-term care or nursing home insurance. 

Beginning in the first Policy Year, You may elect to Surrender or withdraw a portion of the Policy Value without surrender charges if the
Owner or Owner’s spouse (Annuitant or Annuitant’s spouse, if the Owner is a non-natural person) has been: 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 Confined in a Hospital or Nursing Facility for 30 consecutive days; or

		 	 2.
	  	 Diagnosed as having a Terminal Condition.


 The minimum withdrawal under this waiver is $1,000. This option is available even during Policy Years
other withdrawal options were exercised prior to Nursing Care. 
 For a waiver of confinement in a Hospital or Nursing Facility,
we must receive each withdrawal request (and proof of eligibility with each request) no later then 90 days following the date that confinement has ceased, unless it can be shown that it was not reasonably possible to provide the notice and proof
within the above time period and that the notice and proof were given as soon as reasonably possible. However, in no event shall the notice and proof be provided later than one year following the date that confinement has ceased. Proof of
confinement may be a Physician’s statement or a statement from a Hospital or Nursing Facility administrator. 
 For a
waiver related to a Terminal Condition, proof of eligibility is required only with the initial withdrawal request and must be furnished by the Owner’s, Owner’s spouse’s, Annuitant’s, or Annuitant’s spouse’s Physician.
We must receive a new written request for each withdrawal under this waiver. Each withdrawal request must be received no later than one year following diagnosis of the Terminal Condition. 

If a request for this waiver is denied, the Owner will be notified of the denial. The Owner will be provided an opportunity to instruct
the Company of their desire to either proceed with or cancel their withdrawal or Surrender, including any surrender charges, if a waiver request is denied. 
 Surrender Charges 
 Withdrawals or Surrenders in excess of the surrender
charge-free amount are subject to a surrender charge. The amount of this charge, if any, will be calculated using the percentages, as shown in the table in Section 2 - Policy Data, of the amount withdrawn. 

  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 11









 All Earnings are considered to be withdrawn first and will reduce Your annual surrender
charge-free amount. After all Earnings are withdrawn the oldest Premium Payment is the first Premium Payment considered to be withdrawn. If the amount withdrawn exceeds this, the next oldest Premium Payment is considered to be withdrawn, and so on
until the most recent Premium Payments are deemed to be withdrawn (the procedure being applied to withdrawals of premium is “First-In, First-Out” or FIFO procedure). 
 Minimum Values 
 Benefits available under this policy, including any paid up
annuity values, Cash Values, or death benefits, are not less than those required by the insurance laws of the state of New York. Minimum benefits will be increased to reflect any guaranteed additional amounts credited to the policy and will be
decreased by prior withdrawals. 
 SECTION 6 – POLICY VALUE 
 Policy Value 
 On or before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Policy Value
is equal to Your: 

					
		 	 a.
	  	 Premium Payment(s); minus

		 	 b.
	  	 Gross withdrawals (withdrawals plus the surrender charge on the portion of the requested withdrawal that is subject to the surrender charge);
plus

		 	 c.
	  	 Interest credited to the Fixed Account (if any); plus

		 	 d.
	  	 Accumulated gains including the deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and Administrative Charge, in the Separate Account; minus

		 	 e.
	  	 Accumulated losses including the deduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and Administrative Charge, in the Separate Account;
minus

		 	 f.
	  	 Service charges, rider fees, premium taxes, and transfer fees if any.


 Service Charge 
 On each Policy Anniversary prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and at the time of Surrender, we may deduct an annual service charge as set forth in Section 2 - Policy Data. The service charge will
be deducted from each Subaccount in proportion to the portion of Policy Value (prior to such charge) in each Subaccount. In no event will the service charge exceed 2% of the Policy Value or the maximum, as shown in Section 2 - Policy Data, on
the Policy Anniversary or at the time of Surrender. 
 SECTION 7 – SEPARATE ACCOUNT 

Separate Account 
 We
have established and will maintain one or more Separate Account(s), under the laws of the state of New York. Any realized or unrealized income, net gains and losses from the assets of the Separate Account are credited to or charged against it
without regard to our other income, gains or losses. Assets are put in the Separate Account for this policy, as well as for other variable annuity policies. Any Separate Account may invest assets in shares of one or more mutual fund portfolio(s), or
in the case of a managed Separate Account, direct investments in stocks or other securities as permitted by law. Fund shares refer to shares of underlying mutual funds or pro-rata ownership of the assets held in a Subaccount of a managed Separate
Account. Fund shares are purchased, redeemed and valued on behalf of the Separate Account. 
 The Separate Account is divided
into Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one of the portfolios of an underlying fund. We reserve the right to add or remove any Subaccount of the Separate Account. You will be notified in writing of any changes to the
Subaccounts. 
 The Separate Account meets the definition of a “Separate Account” under rule 0-l(e)(I) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The assets of the Separate Account are our property. These assets will equal or exceed the reserves and other contract liabilities of the Separate Account. These assets will not be
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct. We reserve the right, subject to regulations governing the Separate Account, to transfer assets of a Subaccount, in excess of the reserves and other contract liabilities with
respect to that Subaccount, to another Subaccount or to our General Account. 

  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 12









 We will determine the fair market value of the assets of the Separate Account in accordance
with the Valuation Period, which we establish in good faith. In order to determine the value of an asset on a day that is not a Market Day, the Company will use the value of that asset as of the end of the next Market Day on which trading takes
place. 
 The Company will determine the value of the reserves for assets in the Separate Account at the end of each Market Day.
In order to determine the value of reserves for assets on a day that is not a Market Day, the Company will use the value of that asset as of the end of the prior Market Day on which trading took place. 

We also reserve the right (with prior authorization from the Superintendent) to transfer assets of the Separate Account, which we
determine to be associated with the class of policies to which this policy belongs, to another Separate Account. If this type of transfer is made, the term “Separate Account”, as used in the policy shall then mean the Separate Account to
which the assets are transferred. 
 We also reserve the right, when permitted by law and with any required approval from the
Superintendent, to: 

					
		 	 a.
	  	 Deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

		 	 b.
	  	 Manage the Separate Account under the direction of a committee at any time;

		 	 c.
	  	 Restrict or eliminate any voting rights of policy Owners or other persons who have voting rights as to the Separate Account;

		 	 d.
	  	 Combine the Separate Account with one or more Separate Accounts;

		 	 e.
	  	 Create new Separate Accounts;

		 	 f.
	  	 Add new Separate Accounts to or remove existing Subaccounts from the Separate Account, or combine Subaccounts; and

		 	 g.
	  	 Add new underlying mutual funds, remove existing mutual funds, or substitute a new fund for an existing mutual fund.


 The net asset value of a fund share is the per-share value calculated by the mutual fund or, in the case
of a managed Separate Account, by the Company. The net asset value is computed by adding the value of the Subaccount’s investments, cash and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Net
asset values of fund shares reflect investment advisory fees and other expenses incurred in managing a mutual fund or a managed Separate Account. 
 Change in Investment Objective or Policy of a Mutual Fund 
 If required by
law or regulation, an investment policy of the Separate Account will only be changed if approved by the appropriate insurance official of the state of New York or deemed approved in accordance with such law or regulation. If so required, the process
for obtaining such approval is filed with the insurance official of the state or district in which this policy is delivered. 
 Charges and
Deductions 
 The mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge are each deducted, both before and after the
Annuity Commencement Date, to compensate for changes in mortality and expenses not anticipated by the mortality and administration charges guaranteed in the policy. Expenses and mortality results will not adversely affect the dollar amounts of
variable benefits or other variable contractual payments or values. The mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge is specified in Section 2 - Policy Data. 
 Accumulation Units 
 The Policy Value in the Separate Account before the
Annuity Commencement Date is represented by accumulation units. The dollar value of accumulation units for each Subaccount will change from Market Day to Market Day reflecting the investment experience of the Subaccount. 

Premium Payments allocated to and any amounts transferred to the Subaccounts will be applied to provide accumulation units in those
Subaccounts. The number of accumulation units purchased in a Subaccount will be determined by dividing the amount allocated to or transferred to that Subaccount by the value of an accumulation unit for that Subaccount on the Premium Payment or
transfer date. 
 The number of accumulation units withdrawn or transferred from the Subaccounts will be determined by dividing
the amount withdrawn or transferred by the value of an accumulation unit for that Subaccount on the withdrawal or transfer date. 

  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 13









 The value of an accumulation unit on any Market Day is determined by multiplying the value
of that unit at the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the net investment factor for the Valuation Period. 

The net investment factor used to calculate the value of an accumulation unit in each Subaccount for the Valuation Period is determined
by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c) from the result, where: 

					
		 	 (a)
	  	 Is the result of:



					
		 	 1.
	  	 The net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined as of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus

		 	 2.
	  	 The per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by the fund for shares held in that Subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during
the Valuation Period; plus or minus

		 	 3.
	  	 A per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for, which we determine to have resulted from the investment operations of that
Subaccount.



					
		 	 (b)
	  	 Is the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period.

		 	 (c)
	  	 Is a factor representing the mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge before the Annuity Commencement Date. This factor is less than or equal
to, on an annual basis, the percentage shown in Section 2 - Policy Data, of the daily net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount.


 Since the net investment factor may be greater or less than one, the accumulation unit value may increase
or decrease. 
 SECTION 8 – TRANSFERS 
 A.  TRANSFERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE 
 Prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date, You may transfer the value of the accumulation units from one Investment Option to another within certain limitations. 
 Transfers of interest credited in the GPO’s to other Investment Options are allowed on a “First-In, First-Out” basis. Such transfers may be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or
annually. Each such transfer is subject to transfer minimums and charges as set forth in Section 2 - Policy Data. 
 You
may choose which GPO to transfer to or from; however, any GPO elected may not extend beyond the last available Annuity Commencement Date shown in Section 2 - Policy Data. 
 Transfers of Policy Value from the Separate Account are subject to a minimum and charges as set forth in Section 2 - Policy Data. If the remaining Subaccount Policy Value is less than the minimum
transfer amount, as shown in Section 2 - Policy Data, we reserve the right to include that amount as part of the transfer. Transfers among multiple Investment Options will be treated as one transfer in determining the number of transfers that
have occurred. 
 If You want to transfer the value of the variable units You must provide written notification with the
following information provided: 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 The Investment Option from which the transfer is to be made;

		 	 2.
	  	 The amount of the transfer; and

		 	 3.
	  	 The Investment Option(s) to receive the transferred amount.


 The policy was not designed for the use of market timers or frequent or disruptive traders. Such
transfers may be harmful to the underlying fund portfolios and increase transaction costs. We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and disruptive trading (which vary for certain Subaccounts at the request of the
corresponding underlying fund portfolios). 

  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 14









 We employ various means in an attempt to detect market timing and disruptive trading.
However, despite our monitoring, we may not be able to detect nor halt all harmful trading. If we determine You are engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, we may take one or more actions in an attempt to halt such trading. Your ability to
make transfers is subject to modification or restriction if we determine, in our sole discretion, that Your exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other Owners (or others having an interest
in the variable insurance products). Transfer restrictions may take the form of loss of expedited transfer privilege. We consider transfers by fax, overnight mail, or the Internet to be “expedited” transfers. This means that we would
accept only an original signature transmitted to us only by U.S. mail. We may also restrict the transfer privileges of others acting on Your behalf, including Your registered representative or an asset allocation or investment advisory service.

 We reserve the right to reject any Premium Payments or transfer requests from any person without prior notice, if, in our
judgment: 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 The payment or transfer, or series of transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund portfolio’s operations; or

		 	 2.
	  	 If an underlying fund portfolio would reject or has rejected our purchase order or has instructed us not to allow that purchase or transfer;
or

		 	 3.
	  	 Because of a history of market timing or disruptive trading.


 Dollar Cost Averaging 
 Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, You may enroll in Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) by instructing us to automatically make periodic transfers of Policy Value from a DCA Source Account without waiting
for further instructions from You. A DCA program will begin once we have received, in Good Order, all necessary information and the minimum required amount. 
 You must provide us with the following information to initiate DCA: 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 The date on which the transfers are to begin. Your request will normally be effective the day after the effective date of the policy. If a certain date does
not exist in a given month, the first day of the following month will be used;

		 	 2.
	  	 The DCA Source Account from which the transfers are to be made. To begin dollar cost averaging, the value of the DCA Source Account is subject to minimums as
described in Section 2 - Policy Data;

		 	 3.
	  	 The amount and frequency of the transfers. You may choose monthly or quarterly transfers. The amount of each transfer is subject to minimums as described in
Section 2 - Policy Data; and

		 	 4.
	  	 The Investment Option(s) to receive the transferred amounts. You may choose one or more Investment Options. If You select more than one Investment Option,
Your request must specify how the transferred amounts are to be allocated among these Investments Options and cannot include Your DCA Source Account.


 Transfers must be scheduled for a minimum or maximum length of time as specified in Section 2 -
Policy Data. DCA results in the purchase of more accumulation units when the value of the accumulation unit is low, and fewer accumulation units when the value of the accumulation unit is high. However, there is no guarantee that the DCA program
will result in higher Policy Values or will otherwise be successful. 
 Asset Rebalancing 

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, You may instruct us to automatically transfer amounts among the Subaccounts of the Separate
Account on a regular basis to maintain a desired allocation of the Policy Value among the various Subaccounts offered. Rebalancing will occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, beginning on a date selected by You. You must select
the percentage of the Policy Value desired in each of the various Subaccounts offered. Any amounts in the DCA Source Account or Fixed Account, if offered, are ignored for the purposes of Asset Rebalancing. Rebalancing can be started, stopped or
changed at any time. Rebalancing will cease as soon as we receive a request for any transfer. 
 B.  TRANSFERS AFTER THE ANNUITY
COMMENCEMENT DATE 
 After the Annuity Commencement Date, You may transfer the value of the variable annuity units from one
Subaccount to another within the Separate Account or to the Fixed Account, if offered. If You want to transfer the value of the variable units You must provide written notification with the following information provided: 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 The Investment Option from which the transfer is to be made;

		 	 2.
	  	 The amount of the transfer; and

		 	 3.
	  	 The Investment Option(s) to receive the transferred amount.



  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 15









 The minimum amount which may be transferred is the lesser of the variable annuity units that
produce $10 monthly income or the variable annuity units that produce the entire monthly income in the Subaccount from which the transfer is being made. If the monthly income of the remaining units in a Subaccount is less than $10, we have the right
to include the value of those variable annuity units as part of the transfer. We reserve the right to limit transfers between the Subaccounts or to the Fixed Accounts to once per Policy Year. 

After the Annuity Commencement Date, no transfers may be made from the Fixed Account, if offered, to any other Investment Option.

 SECTION 9 - DEATH PROCEEDS 
 A.  DEATH PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE 
 The amount
payable upon death will be determined upon receipt, in Good Order, of satisfactory proof of death, written directions from each eligible recipient regarding how they wish to receive the amount payable, and any other documents, forms and information
that we need (collectively referred to as “due proof of death”). Not withstanding the foregoing, we may confer with a variety of resources and/or other affiliates in order to ascertain or verify whether the Annuitant or any other relevant
life is or may have become deceased during the term of this policy. Any such activities or efforts by us in no manner abrogate, waive or otherwise diminish Your continued obligation to provide us with timely notice in writing of due proof of death
in Good Order. 
 The amount of the death benefit payable will be the greater of: 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 The Policy Value on the date we receive due proof of death and an election of method of settlement; or

		 	 2.
	  	 The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB), if any, on the date of death, plus any additional Premium Payments received, less any gross withdrawals from the
date of death to the date of payment of death proceeds.


 The Owner(s) may elect the method of payment of death proceeds for each named beneficiary, subject to our
then current rules, prior to the date of the applicable Decedent’s death. When no such election is made as to a specific beneficiary, such beneficiary must elect the method of payment within 60 days of the date we receive all required
documentation, in Good Order, to pay the death proceeds to that beneficiary. If no election is made as to the method of payment by the beneficiary, we will distribute the proceeds in a lump sum. 

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit 
 If elected, the GMDB rider will establish a minimum death benefit payable under the policy. Your election, if any, is shown in Section 2 - Policy Data. You may not change Your election after the
policy is issued. 
 Death of Annuitant Prior To The Annuity Commencement Date 

A death benefit will be payable if the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. 

 

					
		 	 1.
	  	 Non-Natural Owner(s)

		 		  	 for purposes of determining who receives the death benefit for a policy owned by a non-natural Owner, we will apply the rules for Individual Owncr(s) as
provided below in 2(a) or (b).

			
		 	 2.
	  	 Individual Owner(s)



					
		 	 (a)
	  	 Surviving Owner

		 		  	 If there is a surviving Owner(s) when the Annuitant dies, the surviving Owner(s) will receive the death benefit (i.e., the surviving Owner(s) takes the place
of any beneficiary designation).

			
		 	 (b)
	  	 No surviving Owner

		 		  	 If there is no surviving Owner, the death benefit is payable to the named beneficiary(ies). If no beneficiary(ies) are named, the death benefit will be
payable to the Owner’s estate.



  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 16









 Death of Owner Prior To The Annuity Commencement Date 

If the Owner is not the Annuitant and the Owner dies before the Annuitant, under certain circumstances, an amount equal to the Policy
Value, as of the date we receive due proof of death, will be paid. 
 If You are not also the Annuitant and in the event of
simultaneous deaths of both You and the Annuitant, the death proceeds will be calculated under the Death of Annuitant provisions. 
  

	 	1.	 Non-Natural Owner(s) 


 If the policy is owned by a trust using the grantor’s social security number as its taxpayer identification number, the death of the grantor will be treated as the death of the Owner. 

If there is a change in the Annuitant, such change will be treated as the death of the non-natural Owner and we will pay
an amount equal to the Policy Value as of the day we receive, in Good Order, the request to change the Annuitant. 
  

	 	2.	 Individual Owner(s) 


 If You die while the Annuitant is living, the Policy Value will be paid to the first among the following who is living or in existence: 

	 	a.	  The surviving Owner(s); 



	 	b.	  Primary beneficiary(ies); 



	 	c.	  Contingent beneficiary(ies); or 



	 	d.	  Deceased Owner’s estate. 


  

	 	3.	 Joint Owner(s) 


 If there is a joint Owner, the Policy Value will be payable upon the death of the first Owner, unless the surviving joint Owner is the spouse. 
 Non-Spouse Individual Beneficiary: 
 If the beneficiary is an individual who
is not eligible to continue the contract as noted below, the amount payable must be distributed by the end of 5 years after the date of Decedent’s death, or payments must begin no later than one year after the date of Decedent’s death and
must be made for a period certain or for the beneficiary’s lifetime, so long as the period certain does not exceed the beneficiary’s life expectancy. 
 If the beneficiary is not a natural person, the death proceeds must be distributed by the end of 5 years after the date of Decedent’s death. 
 Spousal Beneficiary 
 A spousal beneficiary, who is the sole beneficiary,
may elect to continue this policy as Owner rather than receiving the amount payable when they are the deceased Owner’s surviving spouse. 
 If the surviving spouse does not elect to continue the policy, the amount payable must be distributed by the end of 5 years after the date of the Decedent’s death, or payments must begin no later
than one year after the Decedent’s death and must be made for a period certain or for the beneficiary’s lifetime, so long as the period certain does not exceed the beneficiary’s life expectancy. 

If a death benefit is payable and the policy is continued, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
over the Policy Value will then be added to the Policy Value. This is a one-time only Policy Value adjustment applied at the time the policy is continued. The spousal continuation election is only available once per policy. 

If a death benefit is payable and the policy is continued, all current surrender charges will be waived; however, any premium received
after the Decedent’s death will be subject to any applicable surrender charges. 
 B.    DEATH ON OR AFTER THE
ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE 
 In the event of a death after the Annuity Commencement Date, the amount payable will depend on
the income option selected. If any Owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date, but before the entire interest in the policy is distributed, the remaining portion of such interest in the policy will be distributed to the beneficiary(ies) at
least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of that death. 

  

			
	 NIC12 VA0513(NY)
	  	Page 17









 C.    ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION 

In any event, the death proceeds will be paid in accordance with Section 72(s) of the IRC. For purposes of applying the non-natural
Owner death rules of Section 72(s)(6), we will apply the Annuitant death rules set forth earlier in this section. 
 These
distribution rules do not apply to an annuity provided under a plan described in Section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408 or 408A of the IRC or to an annuity that is a qualified funding asset as defined in Code Section 130(d) of the IRC.

 SECTION 10 – INCOME OPTIONS 
 A.    GENERAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS 
 Payment 

You may use the Policy Value on the Annuity Commencement Date. If the policy is in force on the last available Annuity Commencement Date,
we will make annuity payments to the payee under Option 2(b), with 10 years certain, or if elected, under one or more of the other options described in this section, or any other method of payment if we agree. However, the option(s) elected must
provide for lifetime income or income for a period of at least 120 months. Payments will be made at 1, 3, 6 or 12 month intervals. We reserve the right to avoid making payments of less than $20.00. If any income settlement option with a period
certain provides for installment payments of the same amount at some ages for different periods certain, the Company will deem an election to have been made for the longest period certain which could have been elected for such age and amount.

 Before the Annuity Commencement Date, if the death proceeds become payable or if You Surrender this policy, we will pay any
proceeds in one sum, or if elected, all or part of these proceeds may be placed under one or more of the options described in this section.

amounts shown in the tables on pages 22(a) and 22(b) are the guaranteed amounts. Current amounts offered to individuals of the same class may be obtained from us. Fixed annuity payments at the time of their commencement will not be less than those
which would be provided by the application of the Policy Value to purchase any single consideration immediate annuity contract (as described in Section 4223 (a)(1)(E) of the New York Insurance Law) offered by the Company at the time to the same
class of Annuitant. 
 Adjusted Age 
 Payments under Options 2 and 4 and the first payment under Options 2-V and 4-V are determined based on the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The adjusted age is the Annuitant’s actual age on the
Annuitant’s nearest birthday, at the Annuity Commencement Date, adjusted as follows: 
  

							
	 	 	 Annuity

Commencement Date
	 	 Adjusted Age

 Election of Optional Method of Payment 
 You may elect, in a manner acceptable to us, income options that may be either variable, fixed, or a combination of both. If You elect a combination, You must also tell us what part of the policy proceeds
on the Annuity Commencement Date is to be applied to provide each type of payment. You must also specify which Subaccounts to allocate policy proceeds. The amount of a combined payment will be the sum of the variable and fixed payments. Payments
under a variable income option will reflect the investment performance of the selected Subaccount of the Separate Account. 
 Qualified Plans
and Policies 
 Certain income options may not be available or may be limited for qualified plans and qualified policies in
order to ensure compliance with the IRC.

 Proof of Age 
 We may require proof of the age of any person who has an annuity purchased under Options 2, 2-V, 4 and 4-V of this section before we make the first payment. 

Minimum Proceeds 
 If the
proceeds are less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay them out as a lump sum instead of applying them to an income option. 

Supplementary Contract 

Once proceeds become payable and an income option has been selected, we will issue a supplementary contract to reflect the terms of the
selected option. The contract will name the payee(s) and will describe the payment schedule. 
 B.    FIXED INCOME
OPTIONS 
 Guaranteed Income Options 
 The fixed income option is determined by multiplying each $1,000 of policy proceeds allocated to a fixed income option by the amounts shown in Section 12 for the option You select. Options 1 and 3
are based on a guaranteed interest rate of 0.25%. Options 2 and 4 arc based on a guaranteed interest rate of 0.25% and the “Annuity 2000” (male, female, and unisex if required by law) mortality table projected for improvement using
projection scale G (70% of female scale G factors were used, while 30% of the male scale factors were used). The rates were projected dynamically using an assumed Annuity Commencement Date of 2020. The “Annuity 2000” mortality rates are
adjusted based on improvements in mortality since 2000 to more appropriately reflect increased longevity. 
 Option 1 – Income for a
Specified Period 
 We will make level payments only for the fixed period You choose. Payments should not exceed the
Annuitant’s life expectancy. In the event of the death of the person receiving payments prior to the end of the fixed period elected, payments will be continued to that person’s beneficiary. No funds will remain at the end of the specified
period. 
 Option 2 – Life Income 
 You may choose between: 

	 	a.	  Life Only – We will make level payments only during the Annuitant’s lifetime;* or 



	 	b.	  Life 10 Years Period Certain – We will make level payments for the longer of: 



	 	 1.	  The Annuitant’s lifetime; or 



	 	 2.	  10 years, or 



	 	c.	  Guaranteed Return of policy proceeds – We will make level payments for the longer of: 



	 	 1.	  The Annuitant’s lifetime; or 



	 	 2.	  Until the total dollar amount of payments made to You equals the amount applied to this option. 



*Option 2(a) is not available for adjusted ages greater than 85. 

Option 3 – Income of a Specified Amount 
 Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this option, with interest, is exhausted. Payments should not exceed the Annuitant’s life expectancy. This will be a series of
level payments followed by a smaller final payment. In the event of the death of the person receiving payments prior to the time policy proceeds with interest are exhausted, payments will be continued to that person’s beneficiary. 

Option 4 – Joint and Survivor Annuity 
 You may choose between: 

	 	a.	  Life Only – We will make level payments only during the Annuitants’ lifetimes;** or 



	 	b.	  Life and 10 Years Period Certain – We will make level payments for the longer of: 



	 	 1.	  The Annuitant’s lifetime and a joint Annuitant of Your selection; or 



	 	 2.	  10 years. 


 **Option 4(a)
is not available for adjusted ages greater than 85.

 Current Income Options 
 The amounts shown in the tables in Section 12 are the guaranteed amounts. Payments at the time of their commencement will not be less than those that would be provided by the application of the
policy proceeds to purchase a single premium immediate annuity policy at purchase rates offered by the Company at the time to the same class of Annuitants. 
 C.    VARIABLE INCOME OPTIONS 
 Variable Annuity Units

 The policy proceeds You tell us to apply to a variable income option will be used to purchase variable annuity units in
Your chosen Subaccounts. The dollar value of variable annuity units in Your chosen Subaccounts will increase or decrease reflecting the investment experience of Your chosen Subaccounts. The value of a variable annuity unit in a particular Subaccount
on any Market Day is equal to “a” x “b” x “c”, where: 

	 	“a”	 Is the variable annuity unit value for that Subaccount on the immediately preceding Market Day; 



	 	“b”	 Is the net investment factor for that Subaccount for the Valuation Period; and 



	 	“c”	 Is the Assumed Investment Return adjustment factor for the Valuation Period. 



The net investment factor used to calculate the value of an accumulation unit in each Subaccount for the Valuation Period is determined
by dividing “a” by “b” and subtracting “c” from the result, where: 

	 	“a”	 Is the result of: 



	 	1.	 The net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined as of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus




	 	2.	 The per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by the fund for shares held in that Subaccount if the ex-dividend date
occurs during the Valuation Period; plus or minus 



	 	3.	 A per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for, which we determine to have resulted from the investment operations of that Subaccount.




	 	“b”	 Is the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period.




	 	“c”	 Is a factor representing the mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge after the Annuity Commencement Date. This factor is less than
or equal to, on an annual basis, the percentage shown in Section 2 – Policy Data, of the daily net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount. 


 Determination of the First Variable Payment 
 The amount of the first
variable payment is determined by multiplying $1,000 of policy proceeds allocated to a variable income option by the amounts shown in Section 13 for the variable option You select. The tables are based on a 3% Effective Annual Assumed
Investment Return and the “Annuity 2000” (male, female, and unisex if required by law) mortality table projected for improvement using projection scale G (70% of female scale G factors were used, while 30% of the male scale factors were
used). The rates were projected dynamically using an assumed Annuity Commencement Date of 2020. The “Annuity 2000” mortality rates are adjusted based on improvements in mortality since 2000 to more appropriately reflect increased
longevity. 
 Option 2-V – Life Income 
 You may choose between: 

	 	a.	 Life Only – Payments will be made during the lifetime of the Annuitant;* or 



	 	b.	 Life and 10 Years Period Certain – Payments will be made for the longer of the Annuitant’s lifetime or ten years. In the event of the
death of the person receiving payments prior to the end of the guarantee period for which the election was made, payments will be continued to that person’s beneficiary. 



*Option 2-V(a) is not available for adjusted age(s) greater than 85. 

Option 4-V – Joint and Survivor Annuity 
 Life Only - Payments are made during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a joint Annuitant of Your selection. Payments will be made as long as either person is living. Option 4-V is not available for
adjusted ages greater than 85.

	  	Page 20









 Determination of Subsequent Variable Payments 

The amount of each variable annuity payment after the first will increase or decrease according to the value of the variable annuity units
which reflect the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts. Each variable annuity payment after the first will be equal to the number of variable annuity units in the selected Subaccounts multiplied by the variable annuity unit value on the
date the payment is made. The number of variable annuity units in each selected Subaccount is determined by dividing the first variable annuity payment allocated to the Subaccount by the variable annuity unit value of such Subaccount on the Annuity
Commencement Date. 
 Once Annuity Payments begin, neither expenses actually incurred other than taxes on the investment return,
nor mortality actually experienced by the Company, shall adversely affect the dollar amount of Variable Annuity Payments to any Annuitant for whom such payments have commenced. 

The smallest annual rate of investment return that would have to be earned on the assets of the Separate Account so that the dollar
amount of variable income payments will not decrease is shown on the first page of this policy. 
 SECTION 11 – FIXED
ACCOUNT 
 We may make available a Fixed Account as an Investment Option. The Fixed Account, if offered, may be comprised of
one or more options shown below. Premium Payments applied to and any amount transferred to the Fixed Account will be credited interest based on a fixed rate. The interest rates we set will be credited for increments of at least one year measured
from each Premium Payment or transfer date. If the Fixed Account is available, these rates will never be less than the Fixed Account Guaranteed Minimum Effective Annual Interest Rate shown in Section 2 – Policy Data. After the Policy Date,
we reserve the right at our sole discretion, to limit or refuse Premium Payments and/or transfers allocated to any of the Fixed Account options. We will provide 30 days advance written notice of this decision. We will also provide timely written
notification to You once any such prohibition of premium payments and/or transfers is no longer in effect. 
 Even if we are
prohibiting premium payments or transfers to the Fixed Account, funds may still roll into a new Guaranteed Period Option at the end of the expiring option’s guaranteed period. 
 Guaranteed Period Options 
 We may offer optional Guaranteed Period Options,
into which Premium Payments may be paid or amounts transferred. The current interest rate we set for Policy Value allocated to each Guaranteed Period Option (GPO) is guaranteed until the end of that guaranteed period. 

We will notify You before the end of the GPO. You may elect to have the Policy Value in the GPO transferred to any Investment Option,
including any GPO we then make available. However, any GPO elected may not extend beyond the last available Annuity Commencement Date. If we do not receive instructions from You in Good Order before the end of the GPO regarding how the Policy Value
in that GPO is to be allocated, we will allocate the Policy Value in that GPO to the Money Market Subaccount available in Your policy. 
 When funds are withdrawn or transferred from a GPO, the Policy Value associated with the oldest Premium Payment is considered to be withdrawn or transferred first. If the amount withdrawn or transferred
exceeds the Policy Value associated with the oldest premium, the Policy Value associated with the next oldest Premium Payment is considered to be withdrawn or transferred next, and so on until the Policy Value associated with the most recent premium
is considered to be withdrawn or transferred (this is a First-ln, First-Out, or FIFO, basis). 
 Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option

 We may offer a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Fixed Account Option (a “DCA Source Account”) separate from the
Guaranteed Period Options. This option will have a one-year interest rate guarantee. The current interest rate we credit may vary on different portions of the DCA Fixed Account. The credited interest rate will never be less than the Fixed Account
Guaranteed Minimum Effective Annual Interest Rate shown in Section 2 – Policy Data. The DCA Fixed Account Option will only be available under a Dollar Cost Averaging program as described in Section 8.
