YOU, YOUR
The Covered Person(s) under this Endorsement.

                      GUARANTEED LIVING BENEFIT PROVISIONS

The Guaranteed Living Benefit described in this Endorsement provides for
guaranteed Withdrawals over the lifetime of the Covered Person(s), subject to
the following provisions:

CALCULATION OF THE FACTORS OF THE GUARANTEED LIVING BENEFIT
To determine the Guaranteed Living Benefit, We use the following factors: Income
Base, [Income Credit Base, Income Credit, [Net] Income Credit Percentage, Income
Credit Period, Minimum Income Base,] and Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. These
factors are not used in the calculation of the Contract Value or any other
benefits under the Contract.

CALCULATION OF THE INCOME BASE

     CALCULATION OF THE INCOME BASE IF THE ENDORSEMENT IS ELECTED ON THE
     CONTRACT DATE
     If this Living Benefit is elected on the Contract Date, the initial Income
     Base is equal to the initial Eligible Purchase Payment.

     CALCULATION OF THE INCOME BASE IF THE ENDORSEMENT IS ELECTED AFTER THE
     CONTRACT DATE
     If this Living Benefit is elected after the Contract Date, the initial
     Income Base is [the Contract Value on the Endorsement Effective Date,]
     which is considered the initial Eligible Purchase Payment and is subject to
     the [Eligible] Purchase Payment limits shown on the Endorsement Data Page.

                                       3
<PAGE>

THEREAFTER, ON EACH BENEFIT [YEAR] ANNIVERSARY, THE INCOME BASE IS AUTOMATICALLY
INCREASED TO THE GREATER OF (a), OR (b) WHERE:

     (a) is the Highest Anniversary Value; and

     (b) [is the current Income Base[, plus the Income Credit, if any].

The Income Base will continue to be calculated on each Benefit [Year]
Anniversary while this Endorsement is in effect and both the Contract Value and
Income Base are greater than zero.

[CALCULATION OF THE INCOME CREDIT BASE

     CALCULATION OF THE INCOME CREDIT BASE IF THE ENDORSEMENT IS ELECTED ON THE
     CONTRACT DATE
     The Income Credit Base is used to calculate the amount of the Income Credit
     [during the Income Credit Period]. If this Living Benefit is elected on the
     Contract Date, the initial Income Credit Base is equal to the initial
     Eligible Purchase Payment.

     CALCULATION OF THE INCOME CREDIT BASE IF THE ENDORSEMENT IS ELECTED AFTER
     THE CONTRACT DATE
     If this Living Benefit is elected after the Contract Date, the initial
     Income Credit Base is [the Contract Value on the Endorsement Effective
     Date,] which is considered the initial Eligible Purchase Payment and is
     subject to the [Eligible] Purchase Payment limits shown on the Endorsement
     Data Page.

THEREAFTER, THE INCOME CREDIT BASE IS INCREASED AND DECREASED AS FOLLOWS:

INCREASES IN THE INCOME CREDIT BASE
The Income Credit Base increases each time Eligible Purchase Payments are made.
[The Income Credit Base also increases to the Highest Anniversary Value when the
Income Base is increased to the Highest Anniversary Value.]

DECREASES IN THE INCOME CREDIT BASE
The Income Credit Base decreases each time an [Excess] Withdrawal is taken, in
the same proportion by which the Contract Value is reduced [by the amount in
excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount.]]

[CALCULATION OF THE INCOME CREDIT
On each Benefit [Year] Anniversary during the Income Credit Period, [if [Excess]
Withdrawals were not taken during the previous Benefit Year,] the Income Credit
is determined by multiplying the [Net] Income Credit Percentage by the Income
Credit Base. If any [Excess] Withdrawals were taken in the previous Benefit
[Year], then the Income Credit is reduced to [zero] [for that Benefit Year].]

[CALCULATION OF THE MINIMUM INCOME BASE

     CALCULATION OF THE MINIMUM INCOME BASE IF THE ENDORSEMENT IS ELECTED ON THE
     CONTRACT DATE
     If this Living Benefit is elected on the Contract Date, the Minimum Income
     Base is as shown on the Endorsement Data Page.

     CALCULATION OF THE MINIMUM INCOME BASE IF THE ENDORSEMENT IS ELECTED AFTER
     THE CONTRACT DATE
     If this Living Benefit is elected after the Contract Date, the Minimum
     Income Base is [200% of] [the Contract Value on the Endorsement Effective
     Date,] which is considered the initial Eligible Purchase Payment and is
     subject to the [Eligible] Purchase Payment limits shown on the Endorsement
     Data Page.

The Income Base [and Income Credit Base, if applicable,] will be increased to at
least the Minimum Income Base on the [12th] Benefit [Year] Anniversary, provided
no Withdrawals are taken prior to that anniversary. If You are eligible for the
Minimum Income Base, the Income Base on the [12th] Benefit [Year] Anniversary]
is the greater of (a) or (b), where:

     (a) is the current Income Base; and

     (b) is the Minimum Income Base.]

CALCULATION OF THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is calculated by multiplying the Income
Base by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage as shown on the Endorsement
Data Page [,which is determined by Your Age at the time You first take a
Withdrawal from Your Contract].

Withdrawals during a Benefit [Year] that in total are less than or equal to the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will not reduce the Maximum Annual Withdrawal
Amount and the Income Base, [and the Income Credit Base if applicable]. [If you
take an [Excess] Withdrawal in a Benefit [Year], the Income Credit is reduced to
zero for that Benefit [Year].] If You choose

                                       4

<PAGE>

to take less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any Benefit [Year],
You may not carry over the unused amount for withdrawal in subsequent Benefit
[Years]. Your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any year will not be
recalculated solely as a result of taking less than the entire Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Amount in the prior year.

Withdrawals taken under this Living Benefit are treated like any other
Withdrawal under the Contract for purposes of calculating Contract Value,
including any fees and charges applicable to such Withdrawals and any other
benefits under the Contract. In any Benefit [Year], Withdrawals up to Maximum
Annual Withdrawal Amount are free of Withdrawal Charges.

[CALCULATION OF THE PROTECTED INCOME PAYMENT
If the Contract Value is reduced to zero due to unfavorable investment
performance, Withdrawal up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, if you live
longer than expected, or any combination of these factors, but the Income Base
is still greater than zero, the Protected Income Payment is calculated by
multiplying the Income Base by the applicable Protected Income Payment
Percentage, [which is determined by Your Age at the time You first take a
Withdrawal from Your Contract], as shown on the Endorsement Data Page. You will
receive the Protected Income Payment each year for the remaining lifetime of the
Covered Person(s).]

INCREASES AND DECREASES IN THE INCOME BASE AND THE IMPACT TO YOUR MAXIMUM ANNUAL
WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT

INCREASES IN THE INCOME BASE
The Income Base is increased anytime an Eligible Purchase Payment is allocated
to Your Contract. The Income Base is also increased [by any available Income
Credit on any Benefit [Year] Anniversary during the Income Credit Period, or] as
a result of a Highest Anniversary Value being achieved resulting in the Income
Base being stepped up on a Benefit [Year] Anniversary. [In addition, the Income
Base can also be increased to the Minimum Income Base on the [12th] Benefit]
[Year Anniversary], provided no Withdrawals are taken before the [12th] Benefit
[Year] Anniversary].] In any Benefit [Year] during which Eligible Purchase
Payments are allocated to Your Contract, any remaining Withdrawals of the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be based on the increased Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Amount reduced by Withdrawals previously taken in that Benefit
[Year]. If the Income Base is increased on a Benefit [Year] Anniversary, the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated on that Benefit [Year]
Anniversary, applicable to the coming Benefit [Year], by multiplying the
increased Income Base by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage.
The Endorsement Fee will be assessed on the increased Income Base.

DECREASES IN THE INCOME BASE
Excess Withdrawals reduce Your Income Base on the date the Excess Withdrawal
occurs. Any Excess Withdrawal in a Benefit [Year] reduces the Income Base in the
same proportion by which the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
As a result of a reduction of the Income Base, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal
Amount will also be reduced. The new Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be
equal to the reduced Income Base multiplied by the applicable Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Percentage. The last recalculated Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in
a given Benefit [Year] is available for Withdrawal at the beginning of the next
Benefit [Year] and may be lower than the previous Benefit [Year's] Maximum
Annual Withdrawal Amount. When the Contract Value is less than the Income Base,
Excess Withdrawals will reduce the Income Base by an amount which is greater
than the amount of the Excess Withdrawal. [In addition, no Income Credit will be
added to the Income Base in that Benefit [Year].]

REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS
This provision applies ONLY to the Contract to which this Endorsement is
attached. If you are taking Required Minimum Distributions and the Required
Minimum Distribution amount, based only on this Contract, is greater than the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any given Benefit [Year], no portion of the
Required Minimum Distribution will be treated as an Excess Withdrawal provided
you enroll in the Company's systematic withdrawal program for Required Minimum
Distributions. However, any portion of a Withdrawal in a Benefit [Year] that is
more than the greater of both the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount and the
Required Minimum Distribution amount will be considered an Excess Withdrawal for
the purpose of the recalculation of the [Income Credit Base,] Income Base and
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. [Furthermore, the Income Credit will be
reduced to zero if total [Excess] Withdrawals taken in any Benefit
[Year][,[including Required Minimum Distributions,] are in excess of the Maximum
Annual Withdrawal Amount.]]

IF YOUR CONTRACT VALUE IS REDUCED TO ZERO
If Your Contract Value is reduced to zero because of an Excess Withdrawal, no
further benefits will be payable under this Endorsement or the Contract, and
Your Contract along with the Endorsement will terminate. However, if Your
Contract Value is reduced to zero due to unfavorable investment performance
and/or fees, Withdrawal up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, if you live
longer than expected, or any combination of these factors, and the Income Base
is greater than zero, We will pay the remaining Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
for that Benefit [Year] in the same frequency withdrawals had been taken, i.e.
monthly or quarterly. Thereafter, we will pay the [Protected Income Payment]
over the remaining lifetime of the Covered Person(s) which will be calculated by
multiplying the Income Base by the[ Protected Income Payment Percentage], as
shown on the Endorsement Data Page.

                                       5
<PAGE>

Because the Contract Value has been reduced to zero, the Income Base will no
longer be increased to the Highest Anniversary Value [nor will Income Credits be
applied, if applicable]. In addition, all other benefits under the Contract,
will be terminated and You may no longer make subsequent Purchase Payments or
transfers, and no Death Benefit is payable.

When the Contract Value equals zero and the Income Base is greater than zero, to
receive any remaining Living Benefit, you must select one of the following
options:

     1.   The [Protected Income Payment], divided equally and paid on a
          [monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual] frequency as selected by
          You until the date of Your death(s); or

     2.   Any payment option mutually agreeable between You and Us.

Once You elect a payment option, it cannot be changed. If You do not select a
payment option above, the remaining benefit will be paid as an amount based on
the [Protected Income Payment Percentage]. This amount will be divided equally
and paid on a [quarterly] basis until the date of death of the Covered
Person(s).

LATEST ANNUITY DATE
If the Contract Value and the Income Base are greater than zero on the Latest
Annuity Date, You must select one of the following options:

     1.   Annuitize the Contract Value under the Annuity Provisions of the
          Contract; or

     2.   Elect to receive the [Protected Income Payment,] as of the Latest
          Annuity Date, divided equally and paid on a [monthly, quarterly,
          semi-annual or annual] frequency as selected by You until the date of
          death of the Covered Person(s); or

     3.   Any payment option mutually agreeable between You and Us.

If You do not select an option listed above, on the Latest Annuity Date, We may
annuitize the Contract Value in accordance with Annuity Provisions of the
Contract, [Options 3 and 3V with 120 Monthly Payments Guaranteed] or payments
that do not exceed Your life expectancy as required by the IRS.

INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS
In addition to the Secure Value Account Allocation, we require that you allocate
your Purchase Payment(s), Spousal Continuation Contribution, and Payment
Enhancements, if applicable, and Contract Value in accordance with established
requirements stated in the Prospectus. We require enrollment in a [quarterly]
automatic asset rebalancing program that complies with the investment
requirements. In addition to [quarterly] asset rebalancing, We will initiate
rebalancing in accordance with your most current and compliant automatic asset
rebalancing instructions on file after any Withdrawal or transfer You initiate.

[SECURE VALUE ACCOUNT ALLOCATION
The Secure Value Account Allocation as shown on the Endorsement Data Page, is
required only while the Endorsement is effective. Amounts allocated to the
Secure Value Account are not subject to the Separate Account Charge. Amounts
allocated to the Secure Value Account may not be transferred to any other
investment option as long as the Endorsement is effective and We will not
rebalance amounts allocated to the Secure Value Account in accordance with the
automatic asset rebalancing program. You may not transfer into or out of the
Secure Value Account. You may not request the entire amount of any withdrawal to
be deducted solely from the Secure Value Account. Rather, any Withdrawal reduces
the amount invested in the Secure Value Account in the same proportion that the
Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value.]

TERMINATION OF WITHDRAWALS OVER TWO LIVES
If there are two Covered Persons on the Endorsement Effective Date, Withdrawals
guaranteed for the life of one of the Covered Persons will terminate if:

     1.   One of the two Covered Persons is removed from the Endorsement due to
          any reason other than death; or

     2.   The Covered Persons are no longer married at the time of death of the
          first Covered Person.

Termination of Withdrawals guaranteed for the life of one Covered Person does
not impact any other terms and conditions of this Endorsement, including the
applicable Endorsement Fee, which is based on the number of Covered Persons on
this Endorsement Effective Date.

[CANCELLATION OF THE GUARANTEED LIVING BENEFIT
You cannot cancel this Endorsement [in the first [5] Benefit [Years] unless You
surrender Your Contract. You may cancel this Endorsement as detailed below. The
Guaranteed Living Benefit may not be re-elected or reinstated after a
cancellation].

                                        6

<PAGE>

CANCELLATION EFFECTIVE DATE
If Your cancellation request is received:

     1.   In the first [5] Benefit [Year]s, the cancellation is effective [on
          the [5th] Benefit [Year Anniversary;]

     2.   In any Benefit [Year] after the [5th] Benefit [Year] Anniversary,] the
          cancellation is effective [on the Benefit [Quarter] Anniversary]
          following Our receipt of the cancellation request.]

THIS ENDORSEMENT AND THE ENDORSEMENT FEE WILL CANCEL AUTOMATICALLY UPON THE
OCCURRENCE OF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

     1.   Death of the Covered Person, or if there were two Covered Persons,
          upon the death of the surviving Covered Person; or

     2.   A Death Benefit is paid resulting in the Contract being terminated; or

     3.   The Contract is annuitized; or

     4.   An Excess Withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value and Income Base
          to zero; or

     5.   Any change occurs that removes all Covered Persons from the Contract;
          or

     6.   The Contract is cancelled or surrendered for any reason.

On the Cancellation Effective Date, amounts allocated to the Secure Value
Account will be automatically transferred to a [1-Year Fixed Account option], if
available, [or the Cash Management Variable Portfolio]. You may no longer
allocate Purchase Payments to the Secure Value Account after cancellation. From
the day following the automated transfer, you may transfer this amount to
another available investment option under the Contract for a period of [90]
[days] during which the transfer will not count against the annual number of
free transfers or incur a transfer fee.

If You cancel the Endorsement or surrender Your Contract while Your Contract
Value is greater than zero, We will assess a pro-rata charge for the Endorsement
Fee applicable to the Benefit [Quarter] in which the cancellation or surrender
occurs if the Contract was cancelled or surrendered before the end of a Benefit
[Quarter]. The pro-rated charge is calculated by multiplying the fee by the
number of days between the date when the prior fee was last assessed and the
date of cancellation or surrender, divided by the number of days between the
prior and the next Benefit [Quarter] Anniversaries. Thereafter, You will no
longer be charged a fee.

DEATH OF COVERED PERSON(s)
