AMOUNT OF MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE DEATH BENEFIT 

Upon Your death, We will pay a Death Benefit to the Beneficiary upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation. The Death Benefit calculation is different
depending on whether a guaranteed living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit has been elected and if the benefit has been terminated. 
 If You
were Age 80 or younger on the Contract Date, and did not elect a guaranteed living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation, We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greatest of: 

 

	 	1.	The Contract Value on the Business Day during which We receive all Required Documentation; or 

  

	 	2.	Net Purchase Payment(s) received, up to the Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page; or 

  

	 	3.	The Maximum Anniversary Value that is equal to the greatest anniversary value determined prior to the earlier of: 

  

	 	a)	Your 83rd birthday; or 

  

	 	b)	Your date of death; 

 plus Purchase Payment(s) received since that Contract Anniversary, up to
the Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page, and this sum is further reduced by any Withdrawals in the same proportion that each such Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value since that Contract Anniversary. 

If You were Age 80 or younger on the Contract Date and elected a guaranteed living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, We will calculate the
Death Benefit as the greatest of: 
  

	 	1.	The Contract Value on the Business Day during which We receive all Required Documentation; or 

  

	 	2.	Purchase Payment(s), subject to the Purchase Payment Restriction and Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page, reduced by a) or b) as follows: 


 

	 	a)	any Withdrawal Adjustments if the benefit has not been terminated; or 

  

	 	b)	any Withdrawal Adjustments prior to the date the benefit is terminated, and further reduced by any Withdrawals occurring on and after the date the benefit is terminated, in the same proportion that each such Withdrawal
reduces the Contract Value; or 

  

	 	3.	The Maximum Anniversary Value that is equal to the greatest anniversary value determined prior to the earlier of: 


i) Your 83rd birthday; or 

ii) Your date of death;

 plus Purchase Payment(s) received since that Contract Anniversary, subject to the Purchase
Payment Restriction and Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page, and this sum is reduced by a) or b) as follows: 
  

	 	a)	any Withdrawal Adjustments if the benefit has not been terminated; or 

  

	 	b)	any Withdrawal Adjustments prior to the date the benefit is terminated, and further reduced by any Withdrawals occurring on and after the date the benefit is terminated, in the same proportion that each such Withdrawal
reduces the Contract Value. 

 Spousal Beneficiary Continuation 

If eligible, the Spousal Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract. On the Continuation Date, We will contribute to the Contract Value an amount by which
the Death Benefit that would have been paid to the Spousal Beneficiary exceeds the Contract Value, if any, as of the Business Day during which We receive all Required Documentation. When applicable, 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 out to the Spousal Beneficiary on the Continuation Date. 

If the Spousal Beneficiary continues the Contract, the Death Benefit calculation is different depending on whether a guaranteed living benefit or guaranteed
minimum withdrawal benefit has been elected and if the benefit has been terminated. Upon the Spousal Beneficiary’s death, We will pay a Death Benefit to the Beneficiary upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation. 

If the Spousal Beneficiary was Age 80 or younger on the Continuation Date, and if the Owner did not elect a guaranteed living benefit or guaranteed minimum
withdrawal benefit, We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greatest of: 
  

	 	1.	The Contract Value on the Business Day during which We receive all Required Documentation; or 

  

	 	2.	The Contract Value on the Continuation Date, plus Purchase Payment(s) received after the Continuation Date, up to the Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page, and this sum is further reduced by any
Withdrawals in the same proportion that each such Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value after the Continuation Date; or 

  

	 	3.	The Maximum Anniversary Value after the Continuation Date that is equal to the greatest anniversary value determined prior to the earlier of: 


 

	 	a)	The Spousal Beneficiary’s 83rd birthday; or 

  

	 	b)	The Spousal Beneficiary’s date of death; 

 plus Purchase Payment(s) received after the
Continuation Date and since that Contract Anniversary, up to the Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page, and this sum is further reduced by any Withdrawals in the same proportion that each such Withdrawal reduces the Contract
Value since that Contract Anniversary. 
 If the Spousal Beneficiary was Age 80 or younger on the Continuation Date, and if the Owner elected a guaranteed
living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greatest of: 
  

	 	1.	The Contract Value on the Business Day during which We receive all Required Documentation; or

	 	2.	The Contract Value on the Continuation Date, plus Purchase Payment(s) received after the Continuation Date, subject to the Purchase Payment Restriction and Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page,
and this sum is reduced by a) or b) as follows: 

  

	 	a)	any Withdrawal Adjustments if the benefit has not been terminated; 

  

	 	b)	any Withdrawal Adjustments prior to the date the benefit is terminated, and further reduced by any Withdrawals occurring on and after the date the benefit is terminated, in the same proportion that each such Withdrawal
reduces the Contract Value; or 

  

	 	3.	The Maximum Anniversary Value after the Continuation Date that is equal to the greatest anniversary value determined prior to the earlier of: 


 

	 	i)	the Spousal Beneficiary’s 83rd birthday; or 

  

	 	ii)	the Spousal Beneficiary’s date of death; 

 plus Purchase Payment(s) received after the
Continuation Date and since that Contract Anniversary, subject to the Purchase Payment Restriction and Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page, and this sum is reduced by a) or b) as follows: 

 

	 	a)	any Withdrawal Adjustments since that anniversary if the benefit has not been terminated; or 

  

	 	b)	any Withdrawal Adjustments since that anniversary but prior to the date the benefit is terminated, and further reduced by any Withdrawals occurring since that anniversary and on and after the date the benefit is
terminated, in the same proportion that each such Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. 

 If the Spousal Beneficiary was at least Age 81 but
younger than Age 86 on the Continuation Date, and if the Owner did not elect a guaranteed living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greater of: 

 

	 	1.	The Contract Value on the Business Day during which We receive all Required Documentation; or 

  

	 	2.	The Contract Value on the Continuation Date, plus Purchase Payment(s) received after the Continuation Date, up to the Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page and prior to the Spousal
Beneficiary’s 86th birthday, and this sum is reduced proportionately for any Withdrawals after the Continuation Date. 


If the Spousal Beneficiary was at least Age 81 but younger than Age 86 on the Continuation Date, and if the Owner elected a guaranteed living benefit or
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greater of: 
  

	 	1.	The Contract Value on the Business Day during which We receive all Required Documentation; or 

  

	 	2.	The Contract Value on the Continuation Date, plus Purchase Payment(s) received after the Continuation Date, subject to the Purchase Payment Restriction and Purchase Payment Age Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page,
and this sum is reduced by (a) or (b) as follows: 

  

	 	a)	any Withdrawal Adjustments after the Continuation Date if the benefit has not been terminated; or 


  

					
	AGE-8023 (12/15)	  	4

	 	b)	any Withdrawal Adjustments after the Continuation Date and prior to the date the benefit is terminated, and further reduced by any Withdrawals occurring on and after the Continuation Date and after the date the benefit
is terminated in the same proportion that each such Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. 

 If the Spousal Beneficiary was Age 86 or older
on the Continuation Date, the amount of the Death Benefit is the Contract Value on the Business Day during which We receive all Required Documentation. 

Withdrawal Adjustments 
 If
a guaranteed living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit is elected and the benefit has not been terminated, the amount of the Death Benefit will be adjusted for Withdrawals as follows: 

 

	 	1.	If the current Contract Year’s cumulative Withdrawals, including the current Withdrawal, are taken prior to Your 81st birthday and are less than or equal to the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the amount of adjustment will be the amount of each Withdrawal; or 

  

	 	2.	If the current Contract Year’s cumulative Withdrawals, including the current Withdrawal, are taken on and/or after Your 81st birthday and/or are in excess of the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the amount of adjustment is equal to the proportion that the amount of each Withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount reduces the Contract Value.
