 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Oasis Petroleum

(the “Representative”), $1,000,000,000 principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of February 2, 2011 (the
“Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto to be dated as of September 24,

Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” The Securities will be guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis pursuant to guarantees (the “Guarantees”) by each of the Guarantors as set forth in the Indenture.

 The Securities will be sold to the Initial Purchasers in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. The Company and the Guarantors have prepared a preliminary offering memorandum dated September 10, 2013 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) and
will prepare an offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Offering Memorandum”) setting forth information concerning the Company and the Securities. Copies of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum have been, and copies of the
Offering Memorandum will be, delivered by the Company to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this purchase agreement (this “Agreement”). The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum, the other Time of Sale Information (as defined below), the Recorded 

 
Road Show (as defined below) and the Offering Memorandum in connection with the offering and resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. References herein to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum
shall be deemed to refer to and include any document incorporated by reference therein. 
 At or prior to 4:45 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time)
on the date hereof, which is before the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the following information shall have been prepared (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): the
Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as supplemented and amended by the written communications listed on Annex A hereto. 
 Holders of
the Securities (including the Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect transferees) will be entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, to be dated the Closing Date (as defined below) and substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will agree to file one or more registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the resale of the Securities or the offer and issuance of the Exchange Securities referred to (and as defined) in the Registration Rights Agreement. 

On September 4, 2013, Oasis Petroleum North America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with RoDa Drilling, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Zeneco, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, to effect the acquisition (the
“Acquisition”) of approximately 136,000 net acres of producing oil and natural gas properties in and around the Company’s existing position in the Williston Basin (the “Acquired Properties”) in exchange for
approximately $1.45 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments. 
 On or prior to the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers will execute
an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), in form and substance to be agreed upon among U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), the Trustee and the Initial Purchasers, which shall
conform in all material respects with the description thereof included in the Offering Memorandum. The Initial Purchasers will deposit (or cause to be deposited) in the escrow account established with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement (the “Escrow Account”), all of the purchase price paid by the Initial Purchasers for the Securities pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof. 

The Company and the Guarantors hereby confirm their agreement with the several Initial Purchasers concerning the purchase and resale of the
Securities, as follows: 
 1. Purchase and Resale of the Securities. (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and
agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the several Initial Purchasers as provided in this Agreement, and each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not
jointly, to purchase from the Company, the respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Initial 

  
 2 

 
Purchaser’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 98.621% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, from September 24, 2013 to the Closing Date;
provided, however, that if all the Securities are redeemed pursuant to a Special Mandatory Redemption (as defined in the Indenture), each of the Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to rebate to the Company,
within three business days after the date of such redemption, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) such Initial Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share times (ii) 50% of the Gross Spread. The Company will not be obligated to
deliver any of the Securities, except upon deposit of cash in the amount of the Initial Purchasers’ Aggregate Purchase Price with the Escrow Agent as provided herein and pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. As used herein, (1) “Gross
Proceeds” means the product of the issue price appearing on the front cover page of the Offering Memorandum (expressed as a decimal number) times the aggregate principal amount of the Securities purchased and sold pursuant hereto,
(2) “Gross Spread” means the difference between the Gross Proceeds and the Initial Purchasers’ Aggregate Purchase Price, (3) “Initial Purchasers’ Aggregate Purchase Price” means the aggregate
purchase price to be paid for all the Securities by the Initial Purchasers pursuant hereto (not including such interest, if any) and (4) “Pro Rata Share” of each Initial Purchaser means a fraction, the numerator of which is the
aggregate principal amount of Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser pursuant hereto, and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities purchased and sold pursuant hereto. 

(b) The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers intend to offer the Securities for resale on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale
Information. Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and agrees that: 
 (i) it is a
qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”) and an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act; 

(ii) it has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by
means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) or in any manner involving a public offering within the
meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act; and 
 (iii) it has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and
will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities as part of their initial offering except: 
 (A) within the
United States to persons whom it reasonably believes to be QIBs in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and in connection with each such sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps
to ensure that the purchaser of the Securities is aware that such sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A; or 
 (B)
in accordance with the restrictions set forth in Annex C hereto.

 (c) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company and, for purposes of the
“no registration” opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 6(g) and 6(h), Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. as counsel for the Company, and Andrews Kurth LLP, as counsel for the Initial Purchasers,
respectively, may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, contained in paragraph (b) above (including Annex C hereto),
and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance. 
 (d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may offer
and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Initial Purchaser and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Initial Purchaser. 

(e) The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that each of the Initial Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s
length contractual counterparty to the Company and the Guarantors with respect to the offering of Securities and the Guarantees contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor
or fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, the Guarantors or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Initial Purchaser is advising the Company, the Guarantors or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment,
accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company and the Guarantors shall consult with their own respective advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own respective independent investigation and
appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Representative nor any other Initial Purchaser shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company or the Guarantors with respect thereto. Any review by the Representative
(whether acting on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or itself) or any other Initial Purchaser of the Company, the Guarantors, and the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the
benefit of the Representative or such Initial Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall not be on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors. 

2. Payment and Delivery. 

(a) Payment for and delivery of the Securities will be made at the offices of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on

jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or lease of property requires such qualification, except to the extent the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial position, stockholders’ equity, results of operations, or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of
their obligations under the Securities and the Guarantees (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 (r) No Consents Required. No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing,

 (s) Legal Proceedings. There are no legal, governmental or regulatory investigations, actions,
suits or proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party (or with respect to any of the foregoing in existence on the date hereof, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to become
a party) or to which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject (or with respect to any of the foregoing in existence on the date hereof, to which any such property could reasonably be expected to become subject) other than
(i) as accurately described in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and (ii) that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the knowledge of the Company and each of the
Guarantors, no such investigations, actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or contemplated by any governmental or regulatory authority or by others. 

(t) Independent Accountants. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries, are independent public accountants with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries within the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and as required
by Regulation S-X.  
 (u) Title to Real and Personal Property. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has (i) good
and defensible title to all of its oil and gas properties (including oil and gas wells, producing leasehold interests and appurtenant personal property), title investigations having been carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries consistent with
the reasonable practice in the oil and gas industry in the areas in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate and (ii) good and marketable title to all other real and personal property owned by the Company and its subsidiaries, in each
case, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum or such as do not materially affect the value of the properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and do not interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to 

  
 10 

 
be made of such properties by the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise; and all of the leases and subleases under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds or uses
properties are in full force and effect, with such exceptions as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any notice of any material claim of any sort that has been
asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company or its subsidiaries under any of the leases or subleases mentioned above, or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or any subsidiary thereof to the continued possession or use of
the leased or subleased premises. The working interests in oil, gas and mineral leases or mineral interests which constitute a portion of the real property held by the Company reflect in all material respects the right of the Company to explore,
develop or receive production from such real property, and the care taken by the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to acquiring or otherwise procuring such leases or mineral interests was generally consistent with standard industry practices
in the areas in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate for acquiring or procuring leases and interests therein to explore, develop or produce for hydrocarbons. 

(v) Rights-of-Way. The Company and its subsidiaries have such consents, easements, rights-of-way or licenses from any person
(“rights-of-way”) as are necessary to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to conduct their business in the manner described in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, subject to such qualifications as
may be set forth in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, and except for such rights-of-way the lack of which would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

(w) Title to Intellectual Property. The Company and its subsidiaries own or possess, or can acquire on reasonable terms, all
patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names currently
employed by them in connection with the business now operated by them, except where the failure to so own or possess would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has

containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries
contained or incorporated by reference in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum; provided that the letter delivered on the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off” date no more

 22

7. Indemnification and Contribution. 

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. The Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates and agents who have, or who are alleged to have, participated in the distribution of Securities, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Initial Purchaser, and the successors and assigns of all the foregoing persons, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation,
legal fees and other expenses 

  
 23 

 
incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any
Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the
information described as such in paragraph (b) below. 
 (b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Initial Purchaser
agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Guarantors, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or
are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser
through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood
and agreed that the only such information consists of the following: the information contained in the third and fourth sentences of the eleventh paragraph and the fourteenth paragraph, respectively, under the caption “Plan of Distribution”
in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum. 
 (c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action,
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or
(b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure
to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive
rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under
paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such

  
 24 

 
proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the
Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person;
(iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition
to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, agents, directors and officers and any control
persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the Representative and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantors
shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph (c), the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of
any proceeding effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (2) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified
Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in 

  
 25 

 
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be
deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection
therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any Guarantor or by the Initial Purchasers and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an
Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their
respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint. 
 (f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in
this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto. 

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company, if after
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have
been required, on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed 

  
 26 

 
by the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or
clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or
escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum; or (vi) there has been, since the time of execution of this
Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum, any change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of
the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the
offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum. 

10. Defaulting Initial Purchaser. 

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase
hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by
any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the
non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may
postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum
or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term
“Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a
defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase. 
 (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased
does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser
agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or
Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made. 

  
 27 

 (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds
one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the
non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the Guarantors, except that the Company and each of the Guarantors will continue to
be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect. 

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company, the Guarantors or any
non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default. 
 11. Payment of Expenses. 

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company and each of the
Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance,
sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any transfer fees or taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any
Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and
expenses of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ counsel, the independent accountants and reserve engineers; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for
investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial
Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) any fees and
expenses of the Escrow Agent, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agreement; (ix) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the
offering by, FINRA, and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; and (x) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors (including, without limitation,
expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any electronic road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show
presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants; provided that notwithstanding clause (x) above, the Initial Purchasers shall
pay one-half of the lease expenses associated with any airplane which is used in connection with such “road show” presentations. 

  
 28 

 (b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clauses (ii) or
(vi) of Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted
under this Agreement, the Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the
Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby. 
 12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of
Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, agents, officers and directors of each Initial
Purchaser referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision
contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase. 

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the
Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of
and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers. 

14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term
“affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the
term “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (d) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and
(e) the term “written communication” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial
Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients. 

  
 29

Securities and (ii) have such Registration Statement remain effective until 180 days after the last Exchange Date for use by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers. The Company and the Guarantors shall commence the Exchange Offer promptly
after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer not later than 60 days after such effective date. 

The Company and the Guarantors shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing or making available the related Prospectus, appropriate letters of
transmittal and other accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law, substantially the following: 
  

	 	(i)	that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange; 

 

	 	(ii)	the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least 20 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed or made available) (the “Exchange Dates”); 

 

	 	(iii)	that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not retain any rights under this Agreement, except as otherwise specified herein; 

  
 Exhibit - A-5 

	 	(iv)	that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to (A) surrender such Registrable Security, together with the appropriate letters of transmittal, to
the institution and at the address and in the manner specified in the notice, or (B) effect such exchange otherwise in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for such Registrable Security, in each case prior to the close of
business on the last Exchange Date; and 

  

	 	(v)	that any Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election, not later than the close of business on the last Exchange Date, by (A) sending to the institution and at the address specified in the notice, a telegram,
facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities exchanged or
(B) effecting such withdrawal in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for the Registrable Securities. 

As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required to represent to the Company and the Guarantors that
(i) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in
the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act)
of the Company or any Guarantor and (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading
activities, then such Holder will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 

As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company and the Guarantors shall: 

 

	 	(i)	accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and 

 

	 	(ii)	deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and
deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities tendered by such Holder. 

The Company and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply
with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer
does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff. 
 (b) In the event that (i) the Company and the
Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or the Exchange 

  
 Exhibit - A-6 

 
Offer may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) the Exchange Offer
is not for any other reason completed by September 19, 2014 or (iii) any Initial Purchaser shall so request in connection with any offer or sale of Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Request”), the Company and the Guarantors
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or Shelf Request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the
Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective; provided that no Holder will be entitled to have any Registrable Securities included in any Shelf Registration Statement, or entitled to use the prospectus
forming a part of such Shelf Registration Statement, until such Holder shall have delivered a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire and provided such other information regarding such Holder to the Company as is contemplated by
Section 3(b) hereof. 
 In the event that the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement
pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file and have declared effective by the SEC (or file and become effective automatically, as the case may be)
both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) above with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange Offer. 

The Company and the Guarantors agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective
until the earlier of one year following the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement and such time as all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
(the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, the related Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations
or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested by a Participating Holder with respect
to information relating to such Holder, and, to the extent necessary, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case
may be, to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Participating Holders copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC. 

(c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a)
or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not be deemed
to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC. A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or is
automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act. 

  
 Exhibit - A-7 

 In the event that either the Exchange Offer is not completed or the Shelf Registration Statement,
if required hereby, is not declared effective (or does not automatically become effective) on or prior to September 19, 2014, the Company will pay liquidated damages to Holders of Registrable Securities with the effect that the interest rate on
the Registrable Securities will be increased by 1.00% per annum until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is declared effective by the SEC (or becomes automatically effective). All liquidated
damages will be paid by the Company on the next scheduled interest payment date in the same manner as interest is paid on the Securities under the Indenture. 

If the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has been declared effective or automatically becomes effective, as the case may be,
and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 30 days (whether or not
consecutive) in any 12-month period, unless such failure to remain effective or usable relates or is directly attributable to an acquisition or disposition being undertaken by the Company then the Company will pay liquidated damages to the Holders
of Registrable Securities with the effect that the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 1.00% per annum commencing on the 31st day in such 12-month period and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement
has again been declared (or automatically becomes) effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable. 
 (e) Without limiting the remedies
available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by the Company or the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof may result in
material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial
Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof. The provisions for liquidated damages set
forth in Section 2(d) above shall be the only monetary remedy available to the Holders under this Agreement. 
 3.
Registration Procedures. (a) In connection with their obligations pursuant to Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall as expeditiously as possible: 

 

	 	(i)	prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (x) shall be selected by the Company and the Guarantors, (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf
Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Participating Holders thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial
statements and oil and gas reserve information required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for the applicable period in accordance
with Section 2 hereof; 

  
 Exhibit - A-8 

	 	(ii)	prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period in accordance with
Section 2 hereof and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and keep each Prospectus current during the
period described in Section 4(3) of, and Rule 174 under, the Securities Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to the Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities; 

 

	 	(iii)	to the extent any Free Writing Prospectus is used, file with the SEC any Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed by the Company or the Guarantors with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act and to
retain any Free Writing Prospectus not required to be filed; 

  

	 	(iv)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Participating Holder, to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to counsel for such Participating Holders and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of
Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as such Participating Holder, counsel or Underwriter may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities thereunder; and, subject to Section 3(c) below, the Company and the Guarantors’ consent to the use of such Prospectus, preliminary
prospectus or such Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the Participating Holders and any such Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable
Securities covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or such Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law; 

 

	 	(v)	use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Participating Holder shall reasonably request in
writing by the time the applicable Registration Statement becomes effective; cooperate with such Participating Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA, and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable each Participating Holder to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such Participating Holder; provided that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be
required to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (2) file any general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction or (3) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not so subject; 

  
 Exhibit - A-9 

	 	(vi)	notify counsel for the Initial Purchasers and, in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Participating Holder and counsel for such Participating Holders promptly and, if requested by any such Participating Holder
or counsel, confirm such advice in writing (1) when a Registration Statement has become effective, when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective, when any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed or any amendment
or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, (2) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus
or for additional information after the Registration Statement has become effective, (3) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation
of any proceedings for that purpose, including the receipt by the Company of any notice of objection of the SEC to the use of a Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities
Act, (4) if, between the applicable effective date of a Shelf Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company or any Guarantor contained in any
underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such Registrable Securities cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Company or any Guarantor receives any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (5) of the happening of any event during the period a Registration
Statement is effective that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made in the case of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus, not misleading and (6) of any
determination by the Company or any Guarantor that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus would be appropriate; 

 

	 	(vii)	use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the resolution of any objection of the SEC
pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, including by filing an amendment to such Registration Statement on the proper form, at the earliest practicable moment and provide immediate notice to each Holder or Participating Holder of
the withdrawal of any such order or such resolution; 

  

	 	(viii)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish or make available to each Participating Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without
any documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested); 

  
 Exhibit - A-10 

	 	(ix)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the Participating Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any
restrictive legends and enable such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) as such Participating Holders may reasonably request at least one Business
Day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities; 

  

	 	(x)	upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered (or, to the
extent permitted by law, made available) to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company and the Guarantors shall notify the Participating Holders (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) and the Initial
Purchasers and any Participating Broker-Dealers known to the Company (in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to suspend use of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such
an event, and such Participating Holders, such Participating Broker-Dealers and the Initial Purchasers, as applicable, hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, until the Company and the
Guarantors have amended or supplemented the Prospectus or the Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to correct such misstatement or omission; provided that the obligations under this Section 3(a)(x) with respect to the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall terminate at the end of the period set forth in Section 2(a)(ii) of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(xi)	a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus, any amendment to a Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or a Free Writing
Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, to the Participating Holders and their counsel) and make such of the representatives of the Company and the
Guarantors as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) available for discussion of such document; and the Company and
the Guarantors shall not, at any time after initial filing of a Registration Statement, use or file any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus, any amendment of or supplement to a Registration Statement, a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus,
of which the Initial Purchasers and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders and their counsel) shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy or to which the Initial Purchasers or
their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably object; 

  
 Exhibit - A-11 

	 	(xii)	obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not later than the initial effective date of a Registration Statement; 

 

	 	(xiii)	cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the registration of the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be; cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders
to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and execute, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all
documents as may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 

 

	 	(xiv)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection by a representative of the Participating Holders (an “Inspector”), any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
Shelf Registration Statement, any attorneys and accountants designated by a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by the Participating Holders and any attorneys and accountants designated by such Underwriter, at
reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company and the Guarantors to
supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement; provided that if any such information is identified by the Company or any Guarantor as
being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such information shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an
impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of any Inspector, Participating Holder or Underwriter; 

  

	 	(xv)	if reasonably requested by any Participating Holder, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to such Participating Holder as such Participating Holder
reasonably requests to be included therein and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as the Company has received notification of the matters to be so included in such filing;

  

	 	(xvi)	 in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other commercially reasonable actions in connection
therewith (including those requested by the Participating Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities including, but 

  
 Exhibit - A-12 

	 	
not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (1) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Participating Holders and any Underwriters of
such Registrable Securities with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any,
in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested, (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (which counsel
and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Participating Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each Participating Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering
the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (3) obtain “comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other certified
public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantors, or of any business acquired by the Company or the Guarantors for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement)
addressed to each Participating Holder (to the extent permitted by applicable professional standards) and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in
“comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings, including but not limited to financial information contained in any preliminary prospectus, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, (4) obtain oil and gas reserve report
letters from any independent petroleum engineering firms whose reports relating to the Company’s reserves have, prior to the date of such Shelf Registration, been previously publicly disclosed in a filing by the Company and (5) deliver
such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Participating Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in underwritten
offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting
agreement; and 

  

	 	(xvii)	So long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, cause each Additional Guarantor upon the creation or acquisition by the Company of such Additional Guarantor, to execute a counterpart to this Agreement in the
form attached hereto as Annex A and to deliver such counterpart, together with an opinion of counsel as to the enforceability thereof against such entity, to the Initial Purchasers no later than five Business Days following the execution
thereof. 

 (b) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to
furnish to the Company a Notice and Questionnaire and such other information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably request
in writing. 

  
 Exhibit - A-13 

 (c) Each Participating Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company and the
Guarantors of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(vi)(3) or Section 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, such Participating Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement until such Participating Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(x) hereof and, if so directed by the Company
and the Guarantors, such Participating Holder will deliver to the Company and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus and any Free Writing
Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 (d) If the Company and the
Guarantors shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective
pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received copies of the supplemented or
amended Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company and the Guarantors may give any such notice only twice during any 365-day period and any such suspensions shall not exceed 30 days for each
suspension and there shall not be more than two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period. 
 (e) The Participating Holders who desire
to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each an “Underwriter”) that will administer the offering
will be selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such Underwriter must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 

4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives
Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be
deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 

The Company and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying
the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities
Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act. 

  
 Exhibit - A-14 

 (b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the
Company and the Guarantors agree to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to
Section 3(d) of this Agreement), in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above. The
Company and the Guarantors further agree that Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this
Section 4. 
 (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder with respect to any
request that they may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above. 
 5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company
and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in
connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the
Securities Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or
information relating to any Holder furnished to the Company in writing through Wells Fargo or any selling Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3 hereof, the Company and the
Guarantors, jointly and severally, will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such
Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free
Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information. 
 (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders, the directors of the Company and the Guarantors, each officer of the Company and the Guarantors who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who
controls the Company, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 

  
 Exhibit - A-15 

 
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by
such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus. 
 (c) If any suit, action,
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or
paragraph (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that
the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b)above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the
forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person
otherwise than under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person
shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors
and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by Wells Fargo, (y) for any Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority
Holders and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent if 

  
 Exhibit - A-16 

 
(i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified
Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on
behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is
unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors
from the offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one
hand and the Holders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the
Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

(e) The Company, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several and not joint. 

  
 Exhibit - A-17 

 (f) The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit
any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 
 (g) The indemnity and contribution
provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder
or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange
Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. 
 6. General. 

(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that (i) the rights granted to the
Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor under any other agreement and
(ii) neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 
 (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any
departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof or any provision that could affect adversely the rights of any Holder of Registrable Securities to receive liquidated damages in the amount and on the payment dates as provided in
Section 2(d) shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b)
shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. 
 (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by
means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this 
Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Company and the
Guarantors, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other
persons at their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall
be deemed to have been duly

 11. When the Securities have been authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the

thereof by the Guarantors) by the Initial Purchasers, each in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Offering Memorandum, do not require registration under the Securities Act, and (B) prior to the consummation of the Exchange
Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), such offer, issue, sale and delivery of the Securities (and the guaranties thereof by the Guarantors) and such initial resale of the
Securities (and the guaranties thereof by the Guarantors) do not require qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, as amended, provided, however, that we express no opinion as to any subsequent resale of any Security (and
the guaranties thereof by the Guarantors) or any Exchange Security (and the guaranties thereof by the Guarantors).

 Exhibit B-3 

 17. In a case properly argued and presented, a Texas court or a United States federal court
sitting in Texas and applying Texas conflict of law principles as set out in Chapter 271 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, would give effect to the provisions of the Securities and the provisions of the Indenture that purport to
require that the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Obligors, the independent registered public
accounting firm and the reserve engineer for the Obligors, your counsel and your representatives at which the contents of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and related matters were discussed and, although we have not
independently verified and are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum (except as and to the extent
set forth in paragraphs 7 and 8 above), on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to factual matters to the extent we deem reasonable upon statements of fact made to us by representatives of the Obligors), no facts have come to our attention
that have led us to believe that (i) the Time of Sale Information, as of 4:45 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on September 10, 2013 contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) the Offering Memorandum, as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, it being understood that we express no statement or belief with respect to (i) the
historical financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon (and any other financial or accounting data derived therefrom) and (ii) oil and natural gas reserve
estimates, in each case included in, or excluded from, the Offering Memorandum or the Time of Sale Information.

 SECTION 3 – GENERAL PROVISIONS 

The Contract 
 The entire contract
consists of this policy and any applications, endorsements or riders. 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. 
 Modification of Policy 

No change in this policy is valid unless made in writing by us and approved by one of our authorized officers. We may pay You more than Your
then current Policy Value for Your voluntary participation in certain promotional offerings. We will notify You of the terms of any such programs. 
 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. 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 necessary to comply with specific
direction provided by our state or federal regulators, through change of law, rule, regulation, bulletin, regulatory directives or agreements. 

Non-Participating 
 This policy will not share in our
profits. 
 Form Approval 
 This policy
is approved under the authority of the IIPRC and issued under the IIPRC standards. Any provision of this policy that on the provision’s effective date is in conflict with IIPRC standards for this product type is hereby amended to conform to the
IIPRC standards for this product type as of the provision’s effective date. 
 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, except in instances involving fraud. 
 Involuntary Cashout 

If, at anytime, Your Cash Value is below $2,000, and there have been no Premium Payments made to the policy within the last two Policy Years,
we reserve the right to terminate the policy and pay the greater of: 
  

	 	a.	 The Fixed Account portion of the Minimum Required Cash Value plus the Separate Account portion of the Cash Value; or 

 

	 	b.	 The Cash Value. 

The Company will not exercise this right for any policies which have an active Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit rider attached to it and
the rider withdrawal base is greater than zero. 
  

  

			
	ICC13 VAO1013	  	Page 7

 Evidence of Survival 

We have the right to require satisfactory evidence that a person was 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. 

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

  

  

			
	ICC13 VAO1013	  	Page 8

	 	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, 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 Distribution 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. 

When permitted by law, we may defer (with prior authorization from the Commissioner) 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 30 days or more. This interest rate will be the Fixed Account Guaranteed Minimum Effective Annual Interest Rate shown in Section 2 - Policy Data, unless otherwise
required by law. 
 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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 9

 Reports to Owner 

We will give You a report at least once each Policy Year, and may provide it more often. This report will show the start date and end date for
the current period and include the following information: 
  

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

 

	 	b.	 The Policy Value at start and end date of the current report period; 

 

	 	c.	 The number and value of the accumulation units held in each Separate Account; 

 

	 	d.	 The Cash Value, which is after the application of any Excess Interest Adjustment (EIA), at start and end date of the current report period;

  

	 	e.	 The death benefit at the end of the current report period; 

 

	 	f.	 The dollar amount in the Fixed Account, if any; and 

  

	 	g.	 The EIA formula used to determine the Cash Value. 

A report as described above will be mailed to Your last known address as shown in our records. The information provided will be as of a date
not more than four months prior to the date of the mailing. We will provide copies of the report available to You upon request at no additional cost. 

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. 

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. 

Allocation of Premium Payments 
 Premium
Payments may be applied to various Investment Options, which we make available. For the initial 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 

Your state may impose premium taxes on the Premium Payments You make. We currently do not deduct for these taxes at the time You make a Premium
Payment unless required by the applicable state law. Generally, we will deduct the total amount of premium taxes, if any, from the Policy Value when You begin receiving annuity payments, You Surrender the policy, or death proceeds are paid. 

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 Adjusted
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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 10

 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. 
 Excess Interest Adjustment 

The Excess Interest Adjustment (EIA) is only applied to transactions affecting the Guaranteed Period Options (GPO) of the Fixed Account, if
offered, and is based on any change in interest rates from the time the affected guaranteed period(s) started until the time the EIA occurs. The EIA may be positive or negative. 

An EIA applies in the following situations: 
  

	 	1.	 When You withdraw or Surrender Your Cash Value; 

  

	 	2.	 When You exercise an income option; 

  

	 	3.	 When You transfer out of a GPO; or 

  

	 	4.	 When a death benefit is calculated. However, the death benefit will not be reduced if the EIA results in a decrease in the Cash Value available to
You. 

 The EIA is applied as follows: 
  

	 	1.	 The EIA is only applied when the transactions occur prior to the end of the GPO; 

 

	 	2.	 Transfers to the GPO of the Fixed Account are considered Premium Payments for purposes of determining the EIA; 

 

	 	3.	 The EIA is distinct from, and is independent of, the surrender charge; 

 

	 	4.	 The EIA may affect the death benefit defined in Section 9; 

 

	 	5.	 If interest rates have decreased from the time the affected GPO started until the time the transaction occurs, the EIA will result in additional
funds available to You; 

  

	 	6.	 If interest rates have increased from the time the affected GPO started until the time the transaction occurs, the EIA will result in a decrease in
the funds available to You; 

  

	 	7.	 Certain amounts are not subject to the EIA as provided in Sections 5, 8 and 11; and 

 

	 	8.	 Upon Surrender, the cumulative interest credited to the GPO of the Fixed Account at the time of Surrender will not be subject to an EIA.

 The formula for determining the amount of the EIA is as follows: 

EIA = S x (G-C) x (M/12) where: 
  

	 	“S”	 Is the amount (before surrender charges, premium taxes and the application of any Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits, if any) being Surrendered,
withdrawn, transferred, paid upon death, or applied to an income option that is subject to EIA; 

  

	 	“G”	 Is the guaranteed interest rate for the guaranteed period applicable to “S”; 

 

	 	“C”	 Is the current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new Premium Payments for the next longer guaranteed period than “M”. If
this policy form or such a GPO is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month; and 

 

	 	“M”	 Is the number of months remaining in the guaranteed period for “S”, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.

 The EIA for each GPO will not reduce the Adjusted Policy Value for that GPO below the amount allocated, less any prior
withdrawals and transfers from that GPO, plus interest at the Fixed Account Guaranteed Minimum Effective Annual Interest Rate shown in Section 2 - Policy Data. 
  

	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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 11

 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 and/or EIA apply at the time of the withdrawal. 

The gross withdrawal = R - E + SC, where: 
  

	 	“R”	 Is the requested withdrawal; 

  

	 	“E”	 Is the EIA; and 

  

	 	“SC”	 Is the surrender charge on the excess withdrawal amount. 

The excess withdrawal amount is the portion of the requested withdrawal 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 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 - Y + Z; where: 

 

	 	“X”	 Is the excess withdrawal; and 

  

	 	“A”	 Is the amount of withdrawal subject to EIA; and 

  

	 	“Y”	 Is EIA = A x (G-C) x (M/12) where G, C and M are defined in the EIA provision above, with “A” substituted for “S” in the
definitions of “G” and “M”; and 

  

	 	“Z”	 Is surrender charge on X. 

Each withdrawal 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 requested and prior amounts withdrawn. 

Withdrawals in the amount of the cumulative interest in the GPO(s) of the Fixed Account, at the time of withdrawal, may be withdrawn from the
GPO(s) of the Fixed Account free of any EIA. 
 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. 
 Surrender Charge-Free Amount 

You may withdraw a portion of Your Policy Value free from any surrender charge. The surrender charge-free amount is equal to the PBC Free
Payments plus the 10% Free Amount, not to exceed the current Cash Value, where: 
  

	 	“PBC Free Payments”     Is 	 equal to the sum of all Remaining Premium Payments with no Remaining PBC; and 

 

	 	“10% Free Amount”       Is 	 10% of all Remaining Premium Payments with a Remaining PBC, less any previously withdrawn 

10% Free Amount in the same Policy Year, not to be less than zero. 

Any unused portion of Your 10% Free Amount shown above cannot be carried forward to subsequent Policy Years. 

Amounts withdrawn under one of the options below may reduce the amount available free of surrender charges under another option. Surrender
charges and/or EIA may be waived as described below. A withdrawal or surrender shall not prejudice the waiver of any surrender charge while any of the options described below are in force. 

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 and no EIA. The amount available from
this policy with respect to the required minimum distribution is based solely on this policy. All withdrawals taken during the current calendar year will reduce the remaining amount available that same calendar year without surrender charges and EIA
under this provision. The surrender charge-free amount and the required minimum distribution amount available under this provision are not cumulative. Withdrawals taken to satisfy required minimum distribution requirements which exceed the surrender
charge-free amount will not reduce Remaining Premium Payments or cause a reduction in any Remaining PBC. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 12

 Any amount requested in excess of the IRC required minimum distribution will have the appropriate
surrender charges and EIA applied, unless the excess distribution qualifies as surrender charge-free or EIA-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 and without an EIA 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. Any surrender charges waived will also reduce Remaining PBC and will result in a lower Quarterly PBC on the following Quarterversary. 

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 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. 

Unemployment Waiver 
 Beginning in the
first Policy Year, You may elect to Surrender or withdraw a portion of the Policy Value without surrender charges and without an EIA if the Owner or Owner’s spouse (Annuitant or Annuitant’s spouse, if the Owner is a non-natural person)
becomes unemployed. In order to qualify, You: 
  

	 	1.	 Must have been employed full-time for at least two years prior to Your becoming unemployed; 

 

	 	2.	 Must have been employed full-time on Your Policy Date; 

  

	 	3.	 Must have been unemployed for at least 60 consecutive days at the time of withdrawal; and 

 

	 	4.	 Must have a minimum Cash Value of $5,000 at the time of withdrawal. 

Proof of unemployment will consist of providing us with a determination letter from the applicable state’s Department of Labor, which
verifies that You or Your spouse qualify for and are receiving unemployment benefits at the time of withdrawal. The determination letter must be received by us no later than 90 days following the date of the withdrawal request. Any surrender charges
waived will also reduce Remaining PBC and will result in a lower Quarterly PBC on the following Quarterversary. 
 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 as described below: 
 Order of Operations 

For purposes of calculating surrender charges, withdrawals will be considered withdrawn in the following order: 

Amounts that are less than or equal to the greater of the surrender charge-free amount or any applicable required minimum distribution: 

 

	 	1.	 The oldest Remaining Premium Payment with no Remaining PBC is the first Premium Payment considered to be withdrawn and will reduce the Remaining
Premium Payment. If the amount withdrawn exceeds this, the next oldest Remaining Premium Payment with no Remaining PBC is considered to be withdrawn, and so on until all Remaining Premium Payments with no Remaining PBC have been withdrawn.

  

	 	2.	 When the PBC Free Payments are equal to zero, the 10% Free Amount and any applicable required minimum distribution remaining will be withdrawn from
the Policy Value, however, will not be considered Premium Withdrawn and will not reduce any Remaining Premium Payments. 

Amounts that exceed the greater of the surrender charge-free amount or any applicable required minimum distribution: 

 

	 	1.	 The oldest Remaining Premium Payment with a Remaining PBC is the first Premium Payment considered to be withdrawn and will reduce the Remaining
Premium Payment. If the amount withdrawn exceeds this, the next oldest Remaining Premium Payment with a Remaining PBC is considered to be withdrawn, and so on until all Remaining Premium Payments with a Remaining PBC have been withdrawn.

 Surrender Charge Calculations 

Upon Surrender: 
 The
surrender charge is equal to the sum of any Remaining PBC for all Premium Payments. 
 The amount paid on surrender will
never be less than the greater of the following amounts: 
  

	 	a.	 Cash Value described earlier in this section; and 

  

	 	b.	 Minimum Required Cash Value. 

Upon Withdrawal: 
  

	 	1.	 For withdrawals during the Committed Premium Period: 

If there is a withdrawal during the Committed Premium Period that exceeds the surrender charge-free amount for all Premium
Payments received through the date of the withdrawal, the PBC Percentage used for calculating any applicable surrender charge will be based upon Cumulative Premium Payments received through the date of the withdrawal. 

For the purposes of calculating the PBC on the first Policy Quarterversary, the PBC Percentage for all Premium Payments made
during the Committed Premium Period will be calculated as outlined under the Premium Based Charge Schedule, shown in Section 2 - Policy Data. 

If the PBC Percentage calculated at the time of a withdrawal, for purposes of determining the surrender charge, is greater
than the PBC Percentage calculated for the same Premium Payment on the first Policy Quarterversary, a surrender charge adjustment will be credited to the Policy Value. The surrender charge adjustment for each Premium Withdrawn will equal A - B,
where: 
  

	 	“A”	 is the amount of the surrender charge assessed at the time of withdrawal; and 

 

	 	“B”	 is the amount of the surrender charge, when recalculated using the PBC Percentage determined on the first Policy Quarterversary.

 The surrender charge adjustment will be credited to the Policy Value on the first Market Day on or after
the first Policy Quarterversary. The credit will be applied pro rata to all Investment Options relative to the value in each Investment Option on the date of the credit. Surrender charges paid will include those assessed at the time of a withdrawal
less any surrender charge adjustments. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 14

	 	2.	 For all withdrawals: 

As outlined earlier in this section, withdrawals will first reduce Premium Payments which have no Remaining PBC, followed by
reduction of the 10% Free Amount and only then reduce Premium Payments which have a Remaining PBC. 
 Withdrawals which in
total exceed the surrender charge-free amount will be subject to a surrender charge. The surrender charge for each Premium Withdrawn will be equal to A x (B / C), where: 
  

	 	“A”	 Is the Remaining PBC prior to the withdrawal; 

  

	 	“B”	 Is the Premium Withdrawn; and 

  

	 	“C”	 Is the Remaining Premium Payment prior to the withdrawal. 

The total surrender charge assessed for a withdrawal will be the sum of all surrender charges for each Premium Withdrawn. 

If a withdrawal would result in the Policy Value after the withdrawal being equal to or less than the total Remaining Premium
Based Charges under the policy, the Company reserves the right to treat Your withdrawal as a request for full surrender, assess a surrender charge equal to all Remaining Premium Based Charges, pay You the Cash Value and terminate Your Policy. The
Company will not exercise this right if Your policy has an active Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit rider attached to it and the amount of Your withdrawal does not exceed the remaining Rider Withdrawal Amount for that Rider Year. 

Minimum Values 
 Benefits available under
this policy, including any paid up annuity values, Cash Values, or death benefits, are not less than the minimum benefits required by section 7B and 7G of the Model Variable Annuity Regulation, model # 250 or successor models. Minimum benefits will
be increased to reflect any guaranteed additional amounts credited to the policy and will be decreased by prior withdrawals. 
 Minimum Required Cash
Value 
 The Minimum Required Cash Value is the amount prescribed by the nonforfeiture law, and is the minimum amount required to be paid
to You on Surrender. 
 The minimum amount is determined differently than Your policy’s Cash Value, and is described in Section 2
- Policy Data. The minimum amount for the Fixed Account, if offered, is calculated according to a procedure specified in the law using a prescribed Minimum Nonforfeiture Interest Rate, which will be fixed at issue and determined as follows: 

On the Policy Date, the Minimum Nonforfeiture Interest Rate is equal to an “average Five Year Constant Maturity Treasury rate”, less
1.25%, but such rate will not be less than 1% nor more than 3%. The averaged rate is determined by averaging the daily Treasury rates for the first 10 Market Days of the month immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which Your policy is
issued. The average of these ten Treasury rates is rounded to the nearest 0.05% before the deduction of 1.25%. For example, if Your policy was issued on any Market Day during the third calendar quarter, Your Minimum Nonforfeiture Interest Rate would
be determined by averaging the first ten Market Days’ Five Year Constant Maturity Treasury rates for the month of June during the same calendar year, rounding that result to the nearest 0.05%, then deducting 1.25% (with the resulting rate not
being less than 1% nor more than 3%). 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 15

 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 or
minus any EIA); plus 

  

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

  

	 	d.	 Accumulated gains in the Separate Account; minus 

  

	 	e.	 Accumulated losses in the Separate Account; minus 

  

	 	f.	 Service charges, rider fees, premium taxes, Premium Based Charges Paid 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 Investment Option in proportion to
the portion of Policy Value (prior to such charge) in each Investment Option. 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. 
 Premium Based Charge (PBC) 

Each Premium Payment contributed to the policy is assigned a Premium Based Charge. The PBC is calculated by multiplying the Premium Payment by
the applicable PBC Percentage shown in Section 2 - Policy Data. 
 On each Policy Quarterversary, we will deduct from the Policy Value
a Quarterly PBC. The Quarterly PBC will be the sum of all charges for each Premium Payment. The individual charge for each Premium Payment is equal to A divided by B where: 
  

	 	“A”	 Is the Remaining PBC; and 

  

	 	“B”	 Is the Remaining PBC Period. 

The Quarterly PBC is deducted from the Policy Value on the first Market Day on or after each Policy Quarterversary. The Quarterly PBC will be
deducted from each Investment Option in proportion to the portion of Policy Value (prior to such charge) in each Investment Option. 
 If
there is a withdrawal in excess of the surrender charge-free amount which results in a surrender charge, as described in Section 5, the Remaining PBC will be reduced by the amount of any surrender charge paid or waived. 

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 Iowa. 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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 16

 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. 
 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.

 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. 
 We also reserve the right 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 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 Subaccounts 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 Iowa 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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 17

 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. 

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 Policy Value from the Guaranteed Period Options
(GPO) of the Fixed Account, if offered, prior to the end of that GPO are subject to an EIA. Such transfers are limited to the maximum Fixed Account transfer limits shown in Section 2 - Policy Data, less values previously transferred out of that
GPO during the current Policy Year. Transfer minimums and charges shown in Section 2 - Policy Data, may also apply to transfers out of the GPO. 

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 and will not be subject to an EIA. 

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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 18

 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). 
 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 telephone, 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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 19

 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. 

The minimum amount which may be transferred is the lesser of $10 monthly income or the entire monthly income of the variable annuity units 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 and made payable 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 in being 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 greatest of: 
  

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

 

	 	2.	 The Cash Value on the date we receive due proof of death and an election of method of settlement; 

 

	 	3.	 The Fixed Account portion of the Minimum Required Cash Value plus the Separate Account portion of the Policy Value, on the date we receive due
proof and an election of method of settlement; or 

  

	 	4.	 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. 
 Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit 
 If elected, the GMDB 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 Owner(s) as provided below in 2(a) or (b). 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 20

	 	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. 
 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 Cash 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 Cash 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 Cash 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 Cash 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 policy 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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 21

 If a death benefit is payable and the policy is continued, all Remaining Premium Based Charges
for Remaining Premium Payments received prior to the Decedent’s death will be set to zero as of the date Your election is received in good order. Any Premium Payments received after the Decedent’s Death will be subject to any applicable
Premium Based Charge. 
 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. 
 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 Adjusted Policy Value or the Fixed Account portion of the Minimum Required Cash Value plus the Separate Account portion of the
Policy Value, if greater, 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. 
 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. 

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

	 Before 2025
	  	 Actual Age

	 2025 - 2032
	  	 Actual Age minus 1

	 2033 - 2040
	  	 Actual Age minus 2

	 2041 - 2048
	  	 Actual Age minus 3

	 2049 - 2055
	  	 Actual Age minus 4

	 After 2055
	  	 Determined by us

 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 are 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. 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 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, whichever is longer; 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, whichever is longer. 

  

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

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 23

 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. 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 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. 

  

			
	 ICC13 VAO1013
	  	Page 24

 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. 
 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 5.50%. 
 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. 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, if we are crediting an interest rate equal to or less than the Minimum Nonforfeiture Annual Interest Rate. 

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. No Excess Interest Adjustment (EIA) applies at the end of a GPO. 

Unless You instruct Us otherwise, 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 Payment, 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 Payment is considered to be withdrawn or transferred (this is a First-In, First-Out, or FIFO, basis). 

Withdrawals, Surrenders, transfers and amounts applied to an income option from the GPO(s) may be subject to an EIA. Amounts received during
the right to cancel period are not subject to an EIA. 
 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.
