     The Principal Life Income Fundings Trust designated above (the “Trust”), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the Principal Amount
specified above on the Stated Maturity Date specified above and, if so specified above, to pay
interest thereon from the Original Issue Date specified above or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date specified above to which interest has been paid or duly provided for at the rate per
annum determined in accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof and as specified above,
until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Payments of principal, premium,
if any, and interest hereon will be made in the lawful currency of the United States of America
(“U.S. Dollars” or “United States dollars”). The “Principal Amount” of this Note at any time means
(1) if this Note is a Discount Note (as hereinafter defined), the Amortized Face Amount (as
hereinafter defined) at such time (as defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) and
(2) in all other cases, the Principal Amount hereof. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have their meanings set forth in the Indenture, dated as of the date of the Pricing



2









 






Supplement (the “Indenture”), between Citibank, N.A., as the indenture trustee (the “Indenture
Trustee”), and the Trust, or on the face hereof.



     This Note will mature on the Stated Maturity Date, unless its principal (or any installment of
its principal) becomes due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date, whether, as applicable,
by the declaration of acceleration of maturity, notice of redemption by the Trust or otherwise (the
Stated Maturity Date or any date prior to the Stated Maturity Date on which this Note becomes due
and payable, as the case may be, is referred to as the “Maturity Date”).



     A “Discount Note” is any Note that has an Issue Price that is less than 100% of the Principal
Amount thereof by a percentage that is equal to or greater than 0.25% multiplied by the product of
the principal amount of the Notes and the number of full years to the Stated Maturity Date.



     Unless otherwise specified above, the interest payable on each Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity Date will be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Original Issue Date or
from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be.



     Unless otherwise specified above, the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will be
paid to the Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, which Regular Record
Date shall be the fifteenth (15th) calendar day, whether or not a Business Day,
immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date; provided that, notwithstanding any
provision of the Indenture to the contrary, interest payable on any Maturity Date shall be payable
to the Person to whom principal shall be payable; and provided, further, that unless otherwise
specified above, in the case of a Note initially issued between a Regular Record Date and the
Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date, interest for the period beginning on
the Original Issue Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the Interest
Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder on such next
succeeding Regular Record Date.



     Payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest and other amounts due and owing,
if any, will be made through the Indenture Trustee to the account of DTC or its nominee and will be
made in accordance with depositary arrangements with DTC.



     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Holder hereof will not be obligated to pay
any administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately available funds by the
Trust. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any tax assessment or governmental charge
imposed upon payments hereunder, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, will be borne
by the Holder hereof.



     REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE
HEREOF. SUCH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT
THIS PLACE.

Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.




(ii) Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Payment Dates for this
Note will be as follows:



	 	 	 
	Interest Payment Frequency	 	Interest Payment Dates
	Monthly

	 	Fifteenth day of each calendar month,
beginning in the first calendar month
following the month this Note was issued.

month, beginning in the third calendar
month following the month this Note was

	 	Fifteenth day of every twelfth calendar
month, beginning in the twelfth calendar
month following the month this Note was

(iii) If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date of this Note falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the Trust will make the required payment of
principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or other amounts on the next succeeding
Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on
that next succeeding Business Day.




	 	(b)	 	Floating Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a
“Floating Rate Note”:






(i) Interest Rate Basis. Interest on this Note will be determined by reference
to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases, which may, as described



5









 






below, include the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Constant
Maturity Swap Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, the
Prime Rate or the Treasury Rate (each as defined below).




(ii) Effective Rate. The rate derived from the applicable Interest Rate Basis
or Interest Rate Bases will be determined in accordance with the related provisions
below. The interest rate in effect on each day will be based on: (1) if that day is an
Interest Reset Date, the rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date
immediately preceding that Interest Reset Date; or (2) if that day is not an Interest
Reset Date, the rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately
preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date.




(iii) Spread; Spread Multiplier; Index Maturity. The “Spread” is the number of
basis points (one one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified on the face hereof to
be added to or subtracted from the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases
applicable to this Note. The “Spread Multiplier” is the percentage specified on the
face hereof of the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases applicable to
this Note by which the Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases will be multiplied to
determine the applicable interest rate. The “Index Maturity” is the period to maturity
of the instrument or obligation with respect to which the related Interest Rate Basis
or Interest Rate Bases will be calculated.




(iv) Regular Floating Rate Note. Unless this Note is specified on the face
hereof as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, this Note (a “Regular Floating Rate Note”)
will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate
Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or
(2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first
Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Regular Floating Rate Note is
payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the
interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the
first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.




(v) Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face
hereof as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, this Note will bear interest at the rate
determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases:
(1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the
applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the
rate at which this Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each
Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that: (A) the interest rate in effect for the
period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be
the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof; and (B) the interest rate in
effect commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date will be the Fixed Interest Rate,
if specified on the face hereof, or, if not so specified, the interest rate in effect
on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.




(vi) Interest Reset Dates. The period between Interest Reset Dates will be the
“Interest Reset Period.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest



6









 






Reset Dates will be, in the case of this Floating Rate Note if by its terms it resets:
(1) daily—each business day; (2) weekly—the Wednesday of each week, with the
exception of any weekly reset Floating Rate Note as to which the Treasury Rate is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will reset the Tuesday of each week; (3)
monthly—the fifteenth day of each calendar month; (4) quarterly—the fifteenth day of
March, June, September and December of each year; (5) semi-annually—the fifteenth day
of the two months of each year specified on the face hereof; and (6) annually—the
fifteenth day of the month of each year specified on the face hereof; provided,
however, that, with respect to a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, the rate of interest
thereon will not reset after the particular Fixed Rate Commencement Date. If any
Interest Reset Date for this Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, the particular Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which
LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and that Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, the particular Interest Reset Date will be the immediately
preceding Business Day.




(vii) Interest Determination Dates. The interest rate applicable to a Floating
Rate Note for an Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date
will be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis as of the
particular “Interest Determination Date”, which will be: (1) with respect to the
Federal Funds Open Rate—the related Interest Reset Date; (2) with respect to the
Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate—the Business Day
immediately preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (3) with respect to the CD Rate
and the CMT Rate—the second Business Day preceding the related Interest Reset Date;
(4) with respect to the Constant Maturity Swap Rate—the second U.S. Government
Securities business day preceding the related Interest Reset Date, provided, however,
that if after attempting to determine the Constant Maturity Swap Rate, such rate is not
determinable for a particular Interest Determination Date, then such Interest
Determination Date shall be the first U.S. Government Securities business day preceding
the original interest determination date for which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate can
be determined; (5) with respect to LIBOR—the second London Banking Day (as defined
below) preceding the related Interest Reset Date; and (6) with respect to the Treasury
Rate—the day of the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day
Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills are
normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in
which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the
auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is
held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the Interest
Determination Date will be the preceding Friday. The Interest Determination Date
pertaining to a Floating Rate Note, the interest rate of which is determined with
reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, will be the latest Business Day which is
at least two Business Days before the related Interest Reset Date for the applicable
Floating Rate Note on which each Interest Reset Basis is determinable. “London Banking
Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in
the LIBOR Currency) in London.



7









 






(viii) Calculation Dates. The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset
Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Calculation Date
(as defined below), except with respect to LIBOR, which will be determined on the
particular Interest Determination Date. Upon request of the Holder of a Floating Rate
Note, the Calculation Agent will disclose the interest rate then in effect and, if
determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination
made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate
Note. The “Calculation Date”, if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination
Date will be the earlier of: (1) the tenth calendar day after the particular Interest
Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day; or (2) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date
or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.




(ix) Maximum or Minimum Interest Rate. If specified on the face hereof, this
Note may have either or both of a Maximum Interest Rate or a Minimum Interest Rate. If
a Maximum Interest Rate is so designated, the interest rate for a Floating Rate Note
cannot ever exceed such Maximum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate
on any Interest Reset Date would exceed such Maximum Interest Rate (as if no Maximum
Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall
be the Maximum Interest Rate. If a Minimum Interest Rate is so designated, the
interest rate for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever be less than such Minimum Interest
Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any Interest Reset Date would be less
than such Minimum Interest Rate (as if no Minimum Interest Rate were in effect) then
the interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Minimum Interest Rate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest rate on a
Floating Rate Note shall not exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable
law.




(x) Interest Payments. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the
Interest Payment Dates will be, in the case of a Floating Rate Note which resets: (1)
daily, weekly or monthly—the fifteenth day of each calendar month or on the fifteenth
day of March, June, September and December of each year, as specified on the face
hereof; (2) quarterly—the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each
year; (3) semi-annually—the fifteenth day of the two months of each year specified on
the face hereof; and (4) annually—the fifteenth day of the month of each year as
specified on the face hereof. In addition, the Maturity Date will also be an Interest
Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date for this
Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest
Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the
case of a Floating Rate Note as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and
that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the particular Interest
Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date of a
Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Trust will make the
required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest or other amounts on the
next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the
payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.



8









 






(xi) Rounding. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, all percentages
resulting from any calculation on this Floating Rate Note will be rounded to the
nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upwards. All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any
calculation on this Floating Rate Note will be rounded to the nearest cent.




(xii) Interest Factor. With respect to this Floating Rate Note, accrued
interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of such Note by an accrued
interest factor. The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor
calculated for each day in the particular Interest Reset Period. The interest factor
for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by
360, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper
Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is
an applicable Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the
case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis. In the case of a series of Notes that bear interest at
floating rates as to which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate is the Interest Rate Basis,
the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the number of days in the
interest period by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the base is of a year of
360 days with twelve 30-day months (unless (i) the last day of the interest period is
the 31st day of a month but the first day of the interest period is a day
other than the 30th or 31st day of a month, in which case the
month that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day
month, or (ii) the last day of the interest period is the last day of the month of
February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened
to a 30-day month)). The interest factor for a Floating Rate Note as to which the
interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be
calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the applicable Interest Rate
Basis specified above applied.




(xiii) Determination of Interest Rate Basis. The Calculation Agent shall
determine the rate derived from each Interest Rate Basis in accordance with the
following provisions.




(A) CD Rate Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, this Note
shall be deemed a “CD Rate Note.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
“CD Rate” means: (1) the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date for
negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) (as defined below) under the
caption “CDs (secondary market)”; or (2) if the rate referred to in clause (1) is
not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date,
the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States
dollar certificates of deposit of the particular Index Maturity as published in H.15
Daily Update (as defined below), or other recognized electronic source used for the
purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “CDs (secondary
market)”; or (3) if the rate referred to in clause (2) is not so published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on



9









 






the particular Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as
the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York
City time, on that Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers in
negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York
(which may include the purchasing agent or its affiliates) selected by the
Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of
major United States money market banks for negotiable United States certificates of
deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the particular Index Maturity in an
amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time;
or (4) if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in clause (3), the CD Rate in effect on the particular Interest
Determination Date. “H.15(519)” means the weekly statistical release designated as
H.15(519), or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. “H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519),
available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/H15/ update, or any
successor site or publication.




(B) CMT Rate Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate, this Note
shall be deemed a “CMT Rate Note.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
“CMT Rate” means:




(1) if CMT Moneyline Telerate Page 7051 is
specified on the face hereof:




	 	i.	 	the percentage equal to the yield for
United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the
Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in
H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, as the
yield is displayed on Moneyline Telerate (or any successor service)
on page 7051 (or any other page as may replace the specified page on
that service) (“Moneyline Telerate Page 7051”), for the particular
Interest Determination Date; or
	 
	 	ii.	 	if the rate referred to in clause (i)
does not so appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 7051, the percentage
equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at
“constant maturity” having the particular Index Maturity and for the
particular Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519)
under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”; or
	 
	 	iii.	 	if the rate referred to in clause (ii)
does not so appear in H.15(519), the rate on the particular Interest
Determination Date for the period of the particular Index Maturity
as may then be published by either the Federal Reserve System Board
of Governors or the United States Department of the Treasury that
the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which
would otherwise have been published in H.15(519); or





10









 






	 	iv.	 	if the rate referred to in clause (iii)
is not so published, the rate on the particular Interest
Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield to
maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid
prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on that
Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United States
government securities dealers in The City of New York (which may
include the purchasing agent or its affiliates) (each, a “Reference
Dealer”) selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference
Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the
highest quotation, or, in the event of equality, one of the highest,
and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest, for United States Treasury securities with an original
maturity equal to the particular Index Maturity, a remaining term to
maturity no more than one year shorter than that Index Maturity and
in a principal amount that is representative for a single
transaction in the securities in that market at that time; or
	 
	 	v.	 	if fewer than five but more than two of
the prices referred to in clause (iv) are provided as requested, the
rate on the particular Interest Determination Date calculated by the
Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices
obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations
shall be eliminated; or

clause (iv) are provided as requested, the rate on the particular
Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as a

selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers
selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest
quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest and the
lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest,
for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity
greater than the particular Index Maturity, a remaining term to
maturity closest to that Index Maturity and in a principal amount
that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in
that market at that time; or
	 
	 	vii.	 	if fewer than five but more than two
prices referred to in clause (vi) are provided as requested, the
rate on the particular Interest Determination Date calculated by the
Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices
obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations
will be eliminated; or

in clause (vi) are provided as requested, the CMT Rate in effect on
the particular Interest Determination Date; or






(2) if CMT Moneyline Telerate Page 7052 is
specified on the face hereof:




	 	i.	 	the percentage equal to the one-week or
one-month, as specified on the face hereof, average yield for United
States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519)
opposite the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, as the yield is

     (c) Discount Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a
“Discount Note”:




(i) Principal and Interest. This Note will bear interest in the same manner as
set forth in Section 3(a) above, and payments of principal and interest shall be made
as



18









 






set forth on the face hereof. Discount Notes may not bear any interest currently or
may bear interest at a rate that is below market rates at the time of issuance. The
difference between the Issue Price of a Discount Note and par is referred to as the
“Discount”.




(ii) Redemption; Repayment; Acceleration. In the event a Discount Note is
redeemed, repaid or accelerated, the amount payable to the Holder of such Discount Note
will be equal to the sum of: (A) the Issue Price (increased by any accruals of
Discount); and (B) any unpaid interest accrued on such Discount Note to the Maturity
Date (“Amortized Face Amount”). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, for
purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any date on which
a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity occurs for a Discount Note, a
Discount will be accrued using a constant yield method. The constant yield will be
calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that,
except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period
between Interest Payment Dates for the applicable Discount Note (with ratable accruals
within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the initial coupon rate applicable
to the applicable Discount Note and an assumption that the maturity of such Discount
Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the date of issue to the first
Interest Payment Date for a Discount Note (the “Initial Period”) is shorter than the
compounding period for such Discount Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an
entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the
compounding period, then the period will be divided into a regular compounding period
and a short period with the short period being treated as provided above.


Section 4. Redemption. If no redemption right is set forth on the face hereof, this Note
may not be redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity Date, except as set forth in the Indenture or in
Section 10 hereof. In the case of a Note that is not a Discount Note, if a redemption right is set
forth on the face of this Note, the Trust shall elect to redeem this Note on the Interest Payment
Date after the Initial Redemption Date set forth on the face hereof on which the Funding Agreement
is to be redeemed in whole or in part by Principal Life Insurance Company (“Principal Life”) (each,
a “Redemption Date”), in which case this Note must be redeemed on such Redemption Date in whole or
in part, as applicable, prior to the Stated Maturity Date, in increments of $1,000 at the
applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest, if any, accrued
thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date. “Redemption Price” shall mean an
amount equal to the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction, if applicable) multiplied by the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note to be redeemed.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Initial Redemption Percentage shall be 100% and
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction shall be 0%. The unpaid Principal Amount of this Note
to be redeemed shall be determined by multiplying (1) the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note
by (2) the quotient derived by dividing (A) the outstanding principal amount of the Funding
Agreement to be redeemed by Principal Life by (B) the outstanding principal amount of the Funding
Agreement. Notice must be given not more than sixty (60) nor less than thirty (30) calendar days
prior to the proposed Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new
Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
surrender hereof. If less than all of this


19









 





Note is redeemed, the Indenture Trustee will select by lot or, in its discretion, on a pro rata
basis, the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the Trust to be redeemed.



Section 5. Sinking Funds. Unless specified on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to, or entitled to the benefit of, any sinking fund.



Section 6. Repayment. If no repayment right is set forth on the face hereof, this Note
may not be repaid at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date. If a
repayment right is granted on the face of this Note, this Note may be subject to repayment at the
option of the Holder on any Interest Payment Date on and after the date, if any, indicated on the
face hereof (each, a “Repayment Date”). On any Repayment Date, unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 at the option
of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the Principal Amount to be repaid,
together with interest thereon payable to the Repayment Date. For this Note to be repaid in whole
or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be received by the Indenture Trustee,
with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment”, below, duly completed by the Indenture Trustee.
Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of a
repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the portion hereof not repaid shall be issued
in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.



Section 7. Modifications and Waivers. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the
Trust and the Indenture Trustee (1) at any time and from time to time without notice to, or the
consent of, the Holders of any Notes issued under the Indenture to enter into one or more
supplemental indentures for certain enumerated purposes and (2) with the consent of the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes affected thereby, to enter into
one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the
rights of Holders of Notes under the Indenture; provided, that, with respect to certain enumerated
provisions, no such supplemental indenture shall be entered into without the consent of the Holder
of each Note affected thereby. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or
not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Notes.



Section 8. Obligations Unconditional. No reference herein to the Indenture and no
provisions of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair the right of each Holder of any Note,
which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, and any interest on,
and premium, if any, on, such Note on the respective Stated Maturity Date or redemption date
thereof and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder.



Section 9. Events of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and all other amounts payable on, the Notes may be
declared due and payable, or may be automatically accelerated, as the case may be, in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture. In the event that this Note is a Discount Note, the
amount of principal of this Note that becomes due and payable upon such acceleration shall be equal
to the amount calculated as set forth in Section 3(c) hereof.



Section 10. Withholding; No Additional Amounts; Tax Event and Redemption. All amounts due
on this Note will be made without any applicable withholding or deduction for or


20









 





on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, assessments or other governmental
charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any governmental authority, unless
such withholding or deduction is required by law. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
the Trust will not pay any additional amounts to the Holder of this Note in respect of such
withholding or deduction, any such withholding or deduction will not give rise to an event of
default or any independent right or obligation to redeem this Note and the Holder will be deemed
for all purposes to have received cash in an amount equal to the portion of such withholding or
deduction that is attributable to such Holder’s interest in this Note as equitably determined by
the Trust.




     If (1) a Tax Event (defined below) as to the Funding Agreement occurs and (2) Principal Life
redeems the Funding Agreement in whole or in part, the Trust will redeem the Notes, subject to the
terms and conditions of Section 2.04 of the Standard Indenture Terms, at the Tax Event
Redemption Price (defined below) together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the applicable
redemption date. “Tax Event” means that Principal Life shall have received an opinion of
independent legal counsel stating in effect that as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change
(including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the
United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (b) any
amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any
governmental authority in the United States, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated,
issued or announced on or after the effective date of the Funding Agreement, there is more than an
insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within ninety (90) days of the date thereof,
subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to interest accrued or received on the Funding
Agreement or (ii) the Trust is, or will be within ninety (90) days of the date thereof, subject to
more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges. “Tax Event
Redemption Price” means an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be redeemed,
which shall be determined by multiplying (1) the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note by (2)
the quotient derived by dividing (A) the outstanding principal amount to be redeemed by Principal
Life of the Funding Agreement by (B) the outstanding principal amount of the Funding Agreement.


Section 11. Listing. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, this Note will not be
listed on any securities exchange.



Section 12. Collateral. The Collateral for this Note includes the Funding Agreement and
the Guarantee specified on the face hereof.

of any principal, interest or any other sums at any time owing under the terms of this Note, or for
any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture
or any indenture supplemental thereto, against the Nonrecourse Parties, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such personal liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the
consideration for issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

or not this Note shall be overdue, and none of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Registrar, the
Paying Agent, any Agent, or any other agent of the Trust or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.



     (c) The Notes are being issued by means of a book-entry-only system with no physical
distribution of certificates to be made except as provided in the Indenture. The book-entry system
maintained by DTC will evidence ownership of the Notes, with transfers of ownership effected on the
records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC and its
participants. The Trust and the Indenture Trustee will recognize Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, as
the registered owner of the Notes, as the Holder of the Notes for all purposes, including payment
of principal, premium (if any) and interest, notices and voting. Transfer of principal, premium
(if any) and interest to participants of DTC will be the responsibility of DTC, and transfer of
principal, premium (if any) and interest to beneficial holders of the Notes by participants of DTC
will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of such beneficial holders. So
long as the book-entry system is in effect, the selection of any Notes to be redeemed or repaid
will be determined by DTC pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC and its participants.
Neither the Trust nor the Indenture Trustee shall be responsible or liable for such transfers or
payments or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by DTC, its
participants or persons acting through such participants.



     (d) This Note or portion hereof may not be exchanged for Definitive Notes, except in the
limited circumstances provided for in the Indenture. The transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes
shall be subject to the terms of the Indenture. No service charge will be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trust may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.


Section 15. GOVERNING LAW. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SURVIVOR’S OPTION RIDER




     (a) Unless this Note, on its face, has been declared due and payable prior to the Maturity
Date by reason of any Event of Default under the Indenture, or has been previously redeemed or
otherwise repaid, the authorized Representative (as defined below) of a deceased Beneficial Owner
(as defined below) of this Note shall have the option to elect repayment by the Trust in whole or
in part prior to the Maturity Date following the death of the Beneficial Owner (a “Survivor’s
Option”). The Survivor’s Option may not be exercised unless the deceased Beneficial Owner
purchased the Notes either within ninety (90) days of their issuance or acquired the Notes at least
six (6) months before the date of death of such deceased Beneficial Owner. “Beneficial Owner” as
used in this Survivor’s Option Rider means, with respect to this Note, the person who has the
right, immediately prior to such person’s death, to receive the proceeds from the disposition of
this Note, as well as the right to receive payments on this Note.



     (b) Upon (1) the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option and the proper tender of this Note
by or on behalf of a person that has authority to act on behalf of the deceased Beneficial Owner of
this Note under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the
personal representative or executor of the deceased Beneficial Owner or the surviving joint owner
of the deceased Beneficial Owner) (the “Representative”) and (2) the tender and acceptance of that
portion of the Funding Agreement equal to the amount of the portion of this Note to be redeemed,
the Trust shall repay this Note (or portion thereof) at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid
Principal Amount of the deceased Beneficial Owner’s beneficial interest in this Note plus accrued
and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of such repayment. However, the Trust shall not be
obligated to repay:




(i) beneficial ownership interests in Notes exceeding the greater of $2,000,000 or 2%
(or such other amounts, as specified in the Pricing Supplement) in aggregate principal
amount for all notes then outstanding under the Principal® Life
CoreNotes® Program and the Secured Medium-Term Notes Retail Program as of
the end of the most recent calendar year (the “Annual Put Limitation”);




(ii) on behalf of an individual deceased Beneficial Owner, any beneficial ownership
interest in all notes issued under the Principal® Life CoreNotes®
Program and the Secured Medium-Term Notes Retail Program that exceeds $250,000
(or such other amounts, as specified in the Pricing Supplement) in any calendar year
(the “Individual Put Limitation”); or




(iii) beneficial ownership interests in Notes exceeding the amount specified on the
face hereof and in the Pricing Supplement (the “Trust Put Limitation”).



     (c) The Trust shall not make principal repayments pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s
Option in amounts that are less than $1,000, and, in the event that the limitations described in
the preceding sentence would result in the partial repayment of this Note, the Principal Amount
remaining Outstanding after repayment must be at least $1,000 (the minimum authorized denomination
of the Notes).



     (d) An otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn.



24









 





     (e) Election to exercise the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in the order that elections
are received by the Trustee, except for any Notes (or portion thereof) the acceptance of which
would contravene (1) the Annual Put Limitation, (2) the Individual Put Limitation or (3) the Trust
Put Limitation. Any Note (or portion thereof) accepted for repayment pursuant to exercise of the
Survivor’s Option shall be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that occurs 20 or more
calendar days after the date of such acceptance. If, as of the end of any calendar year, the
aggregate principal amount of all notes (or portions thereof) issued under the Principal®
Life CoreNotes® Program and the Secured Medium-Term Notes Retail Program
that have been tendered pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option during such
year has exceeded the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation, for such year, any
exercise(s) of the Survivor’s Option with respect to Notes (or portions thereof) not accepted
during such calendar year, because such acceptance would have contravened any such limitation,
shall be deemed to be tendered on the first day of the following calendar year in the order all
such Notes (or portions thereof) were originally tendered. If, as of the end of any calendar year,
the aggregate principal amount of all Notes (or portions thereof) that have been
tendered pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option during such year has exceeded the
Trust Put Limitation, for such year, any exercise(s) of the Survivor’s Option with respect to Notes
(or portions thereof) not accepted during such calendar year, because such acceptance would have
contravened any such limitation, shall be deemed to be tendered on the first day of the following
calendar year in the order all such Notes (or portions thereof) were originally tendered. In the
event that this Note (or any portion hereof) tendered for repayment pursuant to valid exercise of
the Survivor’s Option is not accepted or is to be delayed, the Trustee shall deliver a notice by
first-class mail to the Depositary that states the reason such Note (or portion thereof) has not
been accepted for payment or is to be delayed.



     (f) In order to obtain repayment through exercise of the Survivor’s Option with respect to
this Note (or portion hereof), the Representative must provide the following items to the broker or
other entity through which the beneficial interest in this Note is held by the deceased Beneficial
Owner: (1) a written instruction to such broker or other entity in the form of Annex A attached
hereto to notify the Depositary of the Representative’s desire to obtain repayment through the
exercise of the Survivor’s Option; (2) appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that (i)
the deceased Beneficial Owner purchased the Notes either within ninety (90) days of their issuance
or acquired the Notes at least six (6) months before the date of death of such Deceased Beneficial
Owner, (ii) the death of such Beneficial Owner has occurred, and the date of such death, and (iii)
the Representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased Beneficial Owner; (3) if the
interest in this Note is held by a nominee of the deceased Beneficial Owner, a certificate
satisfactory to the Trustee from such nominee attesting to the deceased’s beneficial ownership of
this Note; (4) a written request for repayment signed by the Representative, with the signature
guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or
correspondent in the United States; (5) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or
endorsement; (6) tax waivers and such other instruments or documents that the Trustee reasonably
requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of this Note and the
claimant’s entitlement to payment; and (7) any additional information the Trustee reasonably
requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of such Survivor’s Option or to
document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment of this
Note. Such broker or other entity shall then deliver



25









 






each of these items to the direct participant of the Depositary, such direct participant being
the entity that holds the beneficial interest in this Note on behalf of the deceased Beneficial
Owner, together with evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee from the broker or other entity
stating that it represents the deceased Beneficial Owner. Such direct participant shall then
deliver such items to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will then deliver these items to
the Trustee and will provide the Trustee with any additional information (after receipt from such
direct participant) the Trustee may request in connection with such exercise. Such direct
participant shall be responsible for disbursing any payments it receives from the Depositary
pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option to the appropriate Representative. All questions,
other than with respect to the right to limit the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes as to which
exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted in any one calendar year or as to the Notes,
regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined
by the Trustee, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all
parties.



     (g) The death of a person holding a beneficial interest in this Note as a joint tenant or
tenant by the entirety with another person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased owner’s
spouse, will be deemed the death of the Beneficial Owner of this Note, and the entire Principal
Amount of this Note so held shall be subject to repayment by the Trust upon request in accordance
with the terms and provisions hereof. However, the death of a person holding a beneficial interest
in this Note as tenant in common with a person other than such deceased owner’s spouse will be
deemed the death of a Beneficial Owner only with respect to such deceased person’s ownership
interest in this Note.



     (h) The death of a person who was a lifetime beneficiary of a trust holding a beneficial
interest in this Note will be treated as the death of the Beneficial Owner of this Note to the
extent of that person’s interest in the trust. The death of a person who was a tenant by the
entirety or joint tenant in a tenancy which is the beneficiary of a trust holding a beneficial
interest in this Note will be treated as the death of the Beneficial Owner of this Note. The death
of an individual who was a tenant in common in a tenancy which is the beneficiary of a trust
holding a beneficial interest in this Note will be treated as the death of the Beneficial Owner of
this Note only with respect to the deceased person’s beneficial interest in this Note, unless a
husband and wife are the tenants in common, in which case the death of either will be treated as
the death of the owner of this Note.



     (i) The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all
of the beneficial ownership interests in this Note will be deemed the death of the Beneficial Owner
of this Note for purposes of the Survivor’s Option, regardless of whether that Beneficial Owner was
the registered holder of this Note, if such beneficial ownership interest can be established to the
satisfaction of the Trustee. A beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist in typical
cases of nominee ownership, such as ownership under the Uniform Transfers of Gifts to Minors Act,
community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife and lifetime
custodial and trust arrangements.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING REPAYMENT ELECTION FORM AND

EXERCISING

REPAYMENT OPTION




     Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings defined in the accompanying
Repayment Election Form.




	1.	 	Collect and retain for a period of at least three years (1) satisfactory evidence of the
authority of the Authorized Representative, (2) satisfactory evidence of death of the Deceased
Beneficial Owner, (3) satisfactory evidence that the Deceased Beneficial Owner beneficially
owned, at the time of his or her death, the notes being submitted for repayment, (4)
satisfactory evidence that the notes being submitted for repayment either were purchased
within ninety (90) days of their issuance or were acquired by the Deceased Beneficial Owner at
least six (6) months before the date of the death of such Deceased Beneficial Owner, and (5)
any necessary tax waivers. For purposes of determining whether the notes will be deemed
beneficially owned by an individual at any given time, the following rules shall apply:






	 	•	 	If a note (or a portion thereof) is beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety or
joint tenants, the note (or relevant portion thereof) will be regarded as beneficially
owned by a single owner. Accordingly, the death of a tenant by the entirety or joint
tenant will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner and the entire principal amount so
owned will become eligible for repayment.
	 
	 	•	 	The death of a person beneficially owning a note (or a portion thereof) by tenancy in
common will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner only with respect to the deceased
owner’s interest in the note (or relevant portion thereof) so owned, unless a husband and
wife are the tenants in common, in which case the death of either will be deemed the death
of the beneficial owner and the entire principal amount so owned will be eligible for
repayment.
	 
	 	•	 	A note (or a portion thereof) beneficially owned by a trust will be regarded as
beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of that beneficiary’s
interest in the trust (however, a trust’s beneficiaries collectively cannot be beneficial
owners of more notes than are owned by the trust). The death of a beneficiary of a trust
will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of the notes (or relevant portion thereof)
beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of that beneficiary’s interest in the trust.
The death of an individual who was a tenant by the entirety or joint tenant in a tenancy
which is the beneficiary of a trust will be deemed the death of the beneficiary of the
trust. The death of an individual who was a tenant in common in a tenancy which is the
beneficiary of a trust will be deemed the death of the beneficiary of the trust only with
respect to the deceased holder’s beneficial interest in the note, unless a husband and wife
are the tenants in common, in which case the death of either will be deemed the death of
the beneficiary of the trust.
	 
	 	•	 	The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all
of the beneficial interest in a note (or a portion thereof) will be deemed the death of the




30









 





	 	 	 	beneficial owner of that note (or relevant portion thereof), regardless of the registration
of ownership, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the
Trustee. Such beneficial interest will exist in many cases of street name or nominee
ownership, custodial arrangements, ownership by a trustee, ownership under the Uniform
Transfers of Gifts to Minors Act and community property or other joint ownership
arrangements between spouses. Beneficial interest will be evidenced by such factors as the
power to sell or otherwise dispose of a note, the right to receive the proceeds of sale or
disposition and the right to receive interest and principal payments on a note.
