 POLICY NUMBER:
07 – 12345 
  
 This is a legal contract between the Owner and
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, a Stock Company (Hereafter called the Company, we, our or us.) The Company will provide annuities and other benefits as set out in this annuity contract, subject to its provisions. This annuity contract
is delivered in, and is governed by, the laws of the State of New York. 
  
 WE AGREE 
  

	•	 	To provide annuity payments as set forth in Section 9 of this policy, 

  

	•	 	Or to pay withdrawal benefits in accordance with Section 5 of this policy, 

  

	•	 	Or to pay death proceeds in accordance with Section 8 of this policy. 

  
 This contract permits the accumulation of funds on a tax–deferred basis and provides a periodic annuity payment for the life of the annuitant or for a certain period
of time payments start on the annuity commencement date. 
  
 The smallest annual
rate of investment return that would have to be earned on the assets of the separate account so that the dollar amount of variable annuity payments will not decrease is 6.65%. 
  
 Prior to the annuity commencement date, a daily charge corresponding to an annual charge of no more than 1.65% for the Policy Value death
benefit option, 1.85% for the Return of Premium death benefit option and 2.25% for the Annual Step-Up death benefit option, is applied by the Company to the assets of the separate account. The corresponding annual charge after the annuity
commencement date is no more than 1.65% regardless of death benefit option elected prior to the annuity commencement date. The amounts applicable to this policy are shown on the Policy Data page. In addition, a maximum annual service charge of $30
is assessed (prior to the annuity commencement date only) on each policy anniversary if either the sum of premium less withdrawals is less than $50,000 or the policy value is less than $50,000 on the policy anniversary. 
  
 See the “Service Charge” provision in Section 4 and the “Charges and
Deductions” provision in Section 6 of this contract for more details. These agreements are subject to the provisions of this contract. This contract is issued in consideration of the application and payment of the initial premium as provided.
This contract may be applied for and issued to qualify as a tax-qualified annuity under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 20 DAY RIGHT TO CANCEL 
  
 You may cancel this contract by delivering or mailing a written notice to us or your agent. You must return the contract before midnight of the twentieth day after the
day you receive it. Notice given by mail and return of the contract by mail are effective upon being mailed, properly addressed and postage prepaid. We will return the policy value, including any fees and charges, within 10 days after we receive
notice of cancellation and the returned contract. 
  
 If this contract is a
replacement of another contract, the Right to Cancel period is extended to 60 days and we will return the policy value, including any fees and charges, for this contract within 10 days after we receive notice of cancellation and the returned
contract. 
  
 The value of the subaccount(s) is based on the value of the separate
account assets which are not guaranteed as to fixed dollar amounts and will increase or decrease in value based on investment results.

 SECTION 3 – PREMIUM PAYMENTS 
  
 PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS 
  
 Premium payments may be made any time while this policy is in force before the annuity commencement date. You may start or stop, increase or decrease, or skip any premium
payments. 
  
 MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM PREMIUM PAYMENT 
  
 The minimum initial premium payment is $10,000. If this policy is being issued in connection
with certain tax–qualified plans (such as IRAs, pension plans, or specially sponsored programs), the minimum initial premium payment is $1,000. No minimum initial premium payment will be required for 403(b) annuities. The minimum subsequent
premium payment we will accept is $500, or $25 if it is a tax–qualified annuity. For issue ages 0–80, the maximum total premium payments which we will accept without prior company approval is $2,000,000 if the Policy Value Death Benefit
Option is elected, or $1,000,000 if the Policy Value Death Benefit Option is not elected. For issue ages over 80, the maximum total premium payments which we will accept without prior company approval is $1,000,000 if the Policy Value Death Benefit
Option is elected, or $500,000 if the Policy Value Death Benefit Option is not elected. The premium payments may not be more than the amount permitted by law if this is a tax–qualified annuity. 
  
 PREMIUM PAYMENT DATE 
  
 The premium payment date is the date on which the premium payment is credited to the policy. The initial premium payment less any applicable
premium taxes will be credited to the policy within two business days of receipt of the premium payment and the information needed. Subsequent additional premium payments, less any applicable premium taxes, will be credited to the policy as of the
business day the premium payment and required information are received. A business day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. 
  
 ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS 
  
 Premium payments may be applied to various investment options, which we make available. For each premium payment, you must indicate what percentage to allocate to various
investment options. Each percent may be either zero or any whole number; however, the allocation among all accounts must total 100%. 
  
 CHANGE OF ALLOCATION 
  
 You may change the allocation of premium payments to various investment options by providing us notice containing the facts that we need. Premium payments received after the date on which we receive your notice will
be applied on the basis of the new allocation. 
  
 PREMIUM TAXES

  
 The insurance laws of the State of New York currently do not allow the
imposition of premium taxes on annuity considerations. Therefore, wherever reference is made in this annuity policy to the deduction of premium taxes, such deductions will not be made while the owner is a resident of the State of New York, unless
subsequent changes in New York’s insurance laws provide otherwise. The amount of any applicable premium tax imposed on amounts relating to this annuity policy may be withdrawn from this annuity policy. For purposes of this annuity policy,
premium taxes include retaliatory taxes or similar taxes. 
  
 SECTION 4 – POLICY VALUE 
  
 POLICY VALUE 

 
 On or before the annuity commencement date, the policy value is equal to your:

  

	(a)	premium payments; minus 

  

	(b)	gross partial withdrawals (as defined in Section 5); plus 

  

	(c)	accumulated gains in the separate account (see Section 6); minus 

  

	(d)	accumulated losses in the separate account (see Section 6); minus 

  

	(e)	service charges, premium taxes, rider fees and transfer fees, if any. 

  
 You may use the policy value on the annuity commencement date to provide lifetime income or income for a period of no less than 60 months under the General Payment
Provisions in Section 9. 
  
 SERVICE CHARGE 
  
 On each policy anniversary during any policy year before the annuity commencement date, we
reserve the right to assess a service charge up to $30 for policy administration expenses. 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 on the policy anniversary. 
  
 The service charge will not be deducted on a policy anniversary if, (1) the sum of all premium payments less the sum of all withdrawals taken equals or exceeds $50,000; or (2) the policy value equals or exceeds
$50,000. 
  

					
	M2040	 	Page 4	 	 

 SECTION 5 – CASH VALUE AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS 
  
 CASH VALUE 
  
 On or before the annuity commencement date, the cash value is equal to the policy value. Information on the current amount of your
policy’s cash value is available upon request. The cash value may be partially withdrawn or will be paid in the event of a full surrender of the policy. We must receive your written partial withdrawal or surrender request before the annuity
commencement date. After the annuity commencement date, there is no cash value. 
  
 PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS 
  
 We will pay you a portion of the cash
value as a partial withdrawal provided we receive your written request while the policy is in effect and before the annuity commencement date. Partial withdrawals will be deducted in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment option
unless you tell us otherwise. If your request for a partial withdrawal from any investment option is less than or equal to the cash value in that option, we will pay the amount of your request. However, if your request for a partial withdrawal from
any investment option is greater than the cash value in that option, we will pay you the cash value of that investment option. 
  
 The gross partial withdrawal is the total amount which will be deducted from your policy value as a result of each partial withdrawal. 
  
 The gross partial withdrawal is the requested partial withdrawal. 
  
 If no premium payments have been made for three policy years and any partial withdrawal
reduces the policy value below $2,000, we reserve the right to pay the full policy value and terminate the policy. 
  
 If the annuitant dies before a surrender or partial withdrawal is processed, the request will be processed before the death proceeds are determined. 
  
 Amounts withdrawn under one of the options below may reduce the amount available under
another option. 
  
 LUMP SUM 
  
 Beginning in the first policy year, partial withdrawals are available as lump sum
distributions in one or more withdrawals during a policy year. 
  
 The minimum
withdrawal is $500. 
  
 SYSTEMATIC PAYOUT OPTION 
  
 Beginning in the first policy year, a systematic payout option (SPO) is available on a
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. At the time a SPO payout is made, such payout must be at least $50 and may not exceed 10% of the total premium payments divided by the number of payouts made per year (e.g. 12 for monthly).

  
 The preferred method for monthly and quarterly payouts is electronic funds
transfer directly to a checking or savings account. You may stop SPO payouts by giving us 30 days’ written notice. 
  
 Once you have elected a SPO, you must wait a minimum time before the first SPO payment: 1 month for monthly, 3 months for quarterly, 6 months for semi-annual, or 12
months for annual. 
  
 MINIMUM REQUIRED DISTRIBUTION 
  
 Partial withdrawals taken to satisfy minimum distribution requirements with respect to this
policy under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code are available. 
  
 Systematic minimum required distributions must be at least $50 or a lump sum distribution is available if systematic minimum required distributions are less than $50. 
  
 MINIMUM VALUES 
  
 Benefits available under this policy, including any paid up annuity, cash value, or death benefits that may be available, are not less than those required by the
insurance laws of the State of New York. Such benefits will be increased as gains are credited to the policy (and decreased by any losses and any withdrawals). 
  

					
	U2040	 	Page 5	 	 

 SECTION 6 – SEPARATE ACCOUNT 
  
 SEPARATE ACCOUNT 
  
 We have established and will maintain one or more separate accounts, under the laws of the state of New York. Any realized or unrealized income, net gains and losses from
the assets of the separate account are credited to or charged against it without regard to our other income, gains, or losses. Assets are put in the separate account for this policy, as well as for other variable annuity policies. Any separate
account may invest assets in shares of one or more mutual fund portfolio, 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
prorata ownership of the assets held in a subaccount of a managed separate account. Fund shares are purchased, redeemed, and valued on behalf of the separate account. 
  
 The separate account is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one of the portfolios of an underlying
fund. We reserve the right to add or remove any subaccount of the separate account. 
  
 The separate account meets the definition of a “separate account”: under rule 0-1(e)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The assets of the separate account are our property. These assets will equal
or exceed the reserves and other contract liabilities of the separate account. These assets will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct. We reserve the right, subject to regulations governing the separate
account, to transfer assets of a subaccount, in excess of the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to that subaccount, to another subaccount or to our general account. 
  
 We will determine the fair market value of the assets of the separate account in accordance with a method of valuation, which we establish
in good faith. Valuation period means the period of time from one determination of the value of each subaccount to the next. Such determinations are made when the value of the assets and liabilities of each subaccount is calculated. This is
generally the close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open. In order to determine the value of an asset on a day that is not a business day, the Company will use the value of that asset as of the end of the next
business day on which trading takes place. 
  
 The Company will determine the
value of the reserves for assets in the separate account at the end of each business day. In order to determine the value of reserves for assets on a day that is not a business day, the Company will use the value of that asset as of the end of the
prior business day on which trading took place. 
  
 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 were 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 other 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 fund. 

  

					
	P2080	 	Page 6	 	 

 SECTION 6 – CONTINUED 
  
 The net asset value of a fund share is the per-share value calculated by the mutual fund or, in the case of a managed separate account, by
the Company. The net asset value is computed by adding the value of the subaccount’s investments, cash and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Net asset values of fund shares reflect
investment advisory fees and other expenses incurred in managing a mutual fund or a managed separate account. 
  
 CHANGE IN INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OR POLICY OF A MUTUAL FUND 
  
 If required by law or regulation, an investment policy of the separate account will only be changed if approved by the appropriate insurance official of the state of New York or deemed approved in accordance with such
law or regulation. If so required, the process for obtaining such approval is filed with the insurance official of the state or district in which this policy is delivered. 
  
 CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS 
  
 The mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge are each deducted both before and after the annuity commencement date to compensate for changes in
mortality and expenses not anticipated by the mortality and administration charges guaranteed in the policy. The service charge is deducted prior to the annuity commencement date only. 
  
 If the mortality and expense risk fee is more than sufficient, the Company will retain the balance as profit or may reduce this fee in the
future. 
  
 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 business day to business day reflecting the investment experience of the subaccount. Accumulation units shall be used to account for all amounts
allocated to or withdrawn from a subaccount of the separate account as a result of premium payments, partial withdrawals, transfers, or fees and charges. 
  
 Transfers and premium payments allocated 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 dollar amount allocated to or transferred to that subaccount, by the value of an accumulation unit for that subaccount on the premium payment or transfer date. 
  
 The number of accumulation units withdrawn or transferred from the subaccounts will be
determined by dividing the dollar amount withdrawn or transferred by the value of an accumulation unit for that subaccount on the withdrawal or transfer date. 
  

We set the initial accumulation unit value for each subaccount. Subsequent accumulation unit values for each subaccount are determined by multiplying the accumulation
unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period by the new investment factor of the subaccount for the current 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 on the Policy Data page 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. 
  

					
	PB2080	 	Page 7	 	 

 SECTION 7 – TRANSFERS 
  
 A. TRANSFERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE 
  
 Prior to the annuity commencement date, you may transfer the policy values from one investment option to another by notifying us in a form
and manner acceptable to us. 
  
 Transfers of policy value are subject to a
minimum of $500 or the entire subaccount policy value, if less. However, if the remaining subaccount policy value is less than $500, we reserve the right to include that amount as part of the transfer. 
  
 We reserve the right to limit transfers to no more than 12 in any one policy year. Any
transfers in excess of 12 per policy year may be charged a $10 per transfer fee. Transfers among multiple investment options will be treated as one transfer in determining the number of transfers that have occurred. 
  
 This policy is not designed for professional market timing organizations or other persons
that use programmed, large, or frequent transfers. The use of such transfers may be disruptive to an underlying portfolio. We reserve the right to reject any transfer request from any person in the interest of overall fund management or, if, in our
judgment, an underlying fund would be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objectives and policies or would otherwise be potentially adversely affected or if an underlying fund would reject our purchase order. We also
reserve the right to revoke your fax and electronic transfer privileges at any time without revoking all owner’s fax and electronic transfer privileges. 
  
 DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION 
  
 Prior to the annuity commencement date, you may instruct us to automatically transfer a specified amount from source accounts made available by us to any other
subaccount(s) of the separate account. The automatic transfers can occur monthly or quarterly. You may change the subaccounts to which these transfers are allocated as permitted by us from time to time. 
  
 Transfers will continue until the elected source account is depleted. The amount transferred
each time must be at least $500. All transfers from the source account will be the same amount as the initial transfer. Changes to the subaccounts to which these transfers are allocated are not restricted. Transfers must be scheduled for at least 6
months, but not more than 24 months or for at least 4 quarters, but not more than 8 quarters each time the dollar cost averaging program is started or restarted following termination of the program for any reason. 
  
 Dollar cost averaging 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 dollar cost averaging program will result in higher policy values or will otherwise be successful.

  
 Dollar cost averaging may be discontinued before its scheduled completion by
sending written notice to us. If dollar cost averaging is discontinued prior to the end of the scheduled period, all remaining funds in the source account will be transferred at that time. Unless we are notified otherwise the funds remaining in the
source account will be transferred to the subaccounts in the percentages currently indicated. While dollar cost averaging is in effect, asset rebalancing is not available. 
  

					
	V1873	 	Page 8	 	 

 SECTION 7 – CONTINUED 
  
 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 (totaling 100%). Rebalancing can be started, stopped or changed at any time. Asset rebalancing is not available while dollar cost averaging is in effect. Rebalancing will cease as soon as we
receive a request for any other transfer. 
  
 B. TRANSFERS AFTER THE ANNUITY
COMMENCEMENT DATE 
  
 After the annuity commencement date, you may transfer
the value of the variable annuity units from one subaccount to another within the separate account or to the fixed account. If you want to transfer the value of the variable annuity units, you must provide a signed notice, containing the facts that
we need. We reserve the right to limit transfers between the subaccounts or to the fixed accounts to once per policy year. 
  
 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. 
  
 After the annuity commencement date, no transfers may be made from the fixed account to any
other investment options. 
  
 SECTION 8 – DEATH PROCEEDS

  
 A. DEATH PROCEEDS PRIOR TO ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE 
  
 The amount of death proceeds will be the greater of the policy value or the guaranteed
minimum death benefit, plus any additional premium payments received, less any gross partial withdrawals, from the date of death to the date of payment of death proceeds. 
  
 Until the death proceeds are paid, the policy value will remain in the subaccounts as previously specified by the owner or as reallocated
pursuant to instructions received by us from all beneficiaries (due proof of death is required before we will accept such instructions). Therefore, the policy value (and cash value) will fluctuate with the investment performance of the applicable
subaccounts and accordingly, the amount of the death proceeds may also vary until the proceeds are paid. 
  
 For purposes of this policy, due proof of death means: 
  

	(a)	a certified copy of the death certificate; or 

  

	(b)	a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to a finding of death; and 

  

	(c)	any other proof or other documents required by us. 

  
 Where there are joint annuitants, the death proceeds becomes payable only upon the death of the surviving annuitant, subject to the distribution requirements under
Subsection C.II. below. 
  
 If You have not directed how death proceeds are to be
paid by the date of death, the beneficiary may make such election within one year of the date we receive due proof of the owner’s or annuitants death as described in Subsection C below. The beneficiary may elect to receive the death proceeds as
a lump sum or in payments as described in Subsection C below. We will pay interest on death proceeds as required by law. 
  
 We must distribute death proceeds or continue making payments under an income option under this annuity policy as required in Internal Revenue Code Section 72(s). The
requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 72(s) will override any provision of this policy to the contrary. 
  
 B. GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT 
  
 The amount of the guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) is based on the death benefit option shown on the policy data page. The guaranteed minimum death benefit is only
payable upon the annuitant’s death. You may not change the guaranteed minimum death benefit option after we issue the policy. 
  

					
	VB1873	 	Page 9	 	 

 SECTION 8 – CONTINUED 
  
 Annual Step–Up Death Benefit 
  
 This GMDB is equal to: 
  

	 	(1)	the largest policy value on the policy date or on any policy anniversary prior to the earlier of the date of death or the annuitant’s 81st birthday; plus 

  

	 	(2)	any premium payments subsequent to the date of the policy anniversary with the largest policy value; minus 

  

	 	(3)	any adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below), subsequent to the date of the policy anniversary with the largest policy value. 

  
 Return of Premium Death Benefit 
  
 This GMDB is equal to the total premiums paid for this policy, less any
adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below), as of the date of death. 
  
 Adjusted Partial Withdrawals – A partial withdrawal taken as provided in Section 5 will reduce the elected guaranteed minimum death benefit by an amount referred to as the “adjusted partial withdrawal”. The adjusted
partial withdrawal may be a different amount than the gross partial withdrawal described in Section 5. If at the time of the partial withdrawal, the policy value is greater than the GMDB, the adjusted partial withdrawal will equal the gross partial
withdrawal. 
  
 The adjusted partial withdrawal formula is APW = GPW times (DP/PV)
where: 
  

					
	APW	  	=	  	adjusted partial withdrawal
			
	GPW	  	=	  	gross partial withdrawal
			
	DP	  	=	  	death proceeds prior to the withdrawal (equal to the greater of PV and GMDB)
			
	PV	  	=	  	policy value prior to the withdrawal
			
	GMDB	  	=	  	guaranteed minimum death benefit prior to the withdrawal

  
 C. DEATH PRIOR TO ANNUITY
COMMENCEMENT DATE 
  
 Payment of death proceeds depends on the relationships
between the owner, annuitant, and beneficiary as outlined below. 
  
 If there are
surviving owners, the surviving owners automatically take the place of any beneficiary designation. 
  

	I.	Annuitant Death 

  
 When we have due proof that the annuitant died before the annuity commencement date, the death proceeds are payable to the beneficiary. If no beneficiary
is designated and there is no surviving owner, the owner’s estate will become the beneficiary. 
  

	 	a)	When the beneficiary is the deceased annuitant’s surviving spouse. The beneficiary may elect to continue this policy as owner and annuitant rather than
receiving the death proceeds. If 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 pro rata according to the amount of policy value in
each Investment Option at that time. This is a one–time only policy value adjustment applied at the time the policy is continued, and the guaranteed minimum death benefit previously selected will continue on as applicable.

  
 If the beneficiary elects to have the death
proceeds paid rather than continue the policy, the death proceeds must be distributed pursuant to subsections b)(1) and (2) below. 
  

	 	b)	When the beneficiary is an individual who is not the deceased annuitant’s surviving spouse. The death proceeds must be distributed: 

  

	 	(1)	by the end of 5 years after the date of the deceased annuitant’s death; or 

  

	 	(2)	payments must begin no later than one year after the deceased annuitant’s death and must be made for a period certain or for this beneficiary’s lifetime, so long as any
period certain does not exceed this beneficiary’s life expectancy (as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and regulations adopted under that Code). Election of this option must be made at least 60 days prior to the one year anniversary of the
annuitant’s death. 

  

	 	c)	When the beneficiary is not a natural person. The death proceeds must be distributed within 5 years after the annuitant’s death. 

  

					
	L1247	 	Page 10	 	 

 SECTION 8 – CONTINUED 
  

	II.	Owner Death 

  
 If the deceased owner is also the annuitant, Subsection C.I. “Annuitant Death” above applies. 
  
 If an owner or joint owner who is not an annuitant dies prior to the annuity
commencement date and before the entire interest in the policy is distributed, the successor owner as defined below will become the new owner, and no death proceeds are payable. The person or entity first listed below who is alive or in existence on
the date of that death will become the successor owner: 
  

	 	a)	surviving owner; 

  

	 	b)	primary beneficiary; 

  

	 	c)	contingent beneficiary; or 

  

	 	d)	deceased owner’s estate. 

  
 The successor owner will need to take distributions according to a), b), or c) below: 
  

	 	a)	If the sole successor owner is the deceased owner’s spouse, we will continue this policy with the successor owner as the new owner. 

  

	 	b)	If the successor owner is an individual who is not the deceased owner’s spouse, the policy value must be distributed: 

  

	 	(1)	by the end of 5 years after the date of the deceased owner’s death; or 

  

	 	(2)	payments must begin no later than one year after the deceased owner’s death and must be made for a period certain or for the successor owner’s lifetime, so long as any
period certain does not exceed the successor owner’s life expectancy (as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and regulations adopted under that Code). Election of this option must be made at least 60 days prior to the one year anniversary of
the deceased owner’s death. 

  

	 	c)	If the successor owner is not a natural person, the policy value must be distributed within 5 years after the owner’s death. 

  
 D. DEATH ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE 
  
 The death proceeds on or after the annuity commencement date depend on the payment 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 at least as rapidly as
under the method of distribution being used as of the date of that death. 
  
 E. AN OWNER IS NOT AN INDIVIDUAL 
  
 In the case of a non
tax–qualified annuity, if any owner or beneficial owner is not an individual, then for purposes of Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code’s mandatory distribution provisions in subsection C or D above, (1) the primary annuitant will be
treated as the owner of the policy, and (2) if there is any change in the primary annuitant, such a change will be treated as the death of the owner. 
  

					
	LB1247	 	Page 11	 	 

 SECTION 9 – INCOME OPTIONS 
  
 A. GENERAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS 
  
 Payment 
  
 If this policy is in force on the annuity commencement date, we will use the policy value to make payments under an income option to the payee under fixed income option 2 and/or variable income option 3–V,
respectively, with 10 years certain, or if elected, under one or more of the other income options described in this section, or any other method of payment if we agree. However, the income option elected must provide for lifetime income or income
for a period of at least 60 months. You will become the annuitant at the annuity commencement date. Payments will be made at 1, 3, 6, or 12–month intervals. We reserve the right to change the frequency of payments to avoid making payments of
less than $20. 
  
 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 applied to one or more of the income options described in this section, or any other method of payment if we
agree. 
  
 Betterment of Rates 
  
 The amounts shown in the tables on page 16–17 are the guaranteed amounts. Current
amounts offered to individuals of the same class may be obtained from us. Fixed annuity payments at the time of their commencement will not be less than those which would be provided by the application of the policy value to purchase any single
consideration immediate annuity contract (as described in Section 4223 (a)(1)(E) of the New York Insurance Law) offered by the company at the time to the same class of annuitant. 
  
 Adjusted Age 
  
 Payments under fixed income options 2 and 4 and the first payment under variable income options 3–V and 5–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 2010
 2010 – 2019
 2020 – 2026
 2027 – 2033
 2034 – 2040
 After 2040
	  	 Actual Age
 Actual Age minus 1
 Actual Age minus 2
 Actual Age minus 3
 Actual Age minus 4
 Actual Age minus 5
	  	 

  
 Election of Optional Method of
Payment 
  
 Before the annuity commencement date, you can elect or change an
income option. You may elect, in a notice in a form and 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 value on the
annuity commencement date are to be applied to provide each type of payment. (You must also specify which subaccounts.) 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(s) of the separate account. 
  
 Payee 
  
 Unless you specify otherwise,
the payee shall be the annuitant, or the beneficiary as described in Section 10. 
  
 Proof of Age 
  
 We may require proof of the age of any person
who elects income options 2, 3–V, 4 and 5–V of this Section before we make the first payment. 
  
 Minimum Proceeds 
  
 If the policy value
on the annuity commencement date is less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay the policy value out as a lump sum instead of applying them to an income option. 
  
 Premium Tax 
  
 The Insurance laws of the State of New York currently do not allow the imposition of premium taxes on the amount applied to a settlement option. Therefore, such
deductions will not be made while the owner is a resident of the State of New York, unless subsequent changes in New York’s insurance laws provide otherwise. However, if the owner becomes a non–resident of New York or if New York changes
its insurance laws to allow the imposition of premium taxes on the amount applied to a settlement option, we will deduct the applicable premium tax before applying the proceeds. 
  
 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 income option. The
supplemental contract will name the payee(s) and will describe the payment schedule. 
  

					
	D683	 	Page 12	 	 

 SECTION 9 – CONTINUED 
  
 B. FIXED INCOME OPTIONS 
  
 Commutation of Payments after the Annuity Commencement Date 
  
 For options 1, 2 and 3, if the present value is paid in a single sum, the interest rate used for commutation is the interest rate that equated the amount applied at
annuitization to the present value of annuity payments. For option 2(b), present values would be determined using only an interest rate component, but not using a mortality component. 
  
 Only the remaining guaranteed annuity payments may be commuted, payments beyond the certain period that are contingent on the life of the
annuitant may not be commuted. 
  
 Determination of Fixed 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 on pages 16 and 17 for the option you select. Options 1 and 3 are based on a guaranteed interest rate of 1.5%. Options 2 and 4 are based on a guaranteed interest rate of 1.5%
and the “Annuity 2000” (male and female) mortality table projected for improvement using projection scale G (50% of the female scale G factors were used, while 100% of the male scale G factors were used). The rates were projected
dynamically using an assumed annuity commencement date of 2005. The “Annuity 2000” mortality rates are adjusted based on improvements in mortality since 2000 to more appropriately reflect increased longevity. This is accomplished using a
set of improvement factors referred to as projection scale G. 
  
 Fixed Income
Option 1 - Income for a Specified Period 
  
 We will make level payments only
for the fixed period you choose. 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 or may be commuted and their present value may be
paid in a single sum. No funds will remain at the end. 
  
 Fixed Income Option
2 - Life Income 
  
 You may choose between:

  

	(a)	No Period Certain – We will make level payments only during the annuitant’s lifetime. 

  

	(b)	10 Years Certain – We will make level payments 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 fixed period elected, payments will be continued to that person’s beneficiary or may be commuted and their present value may be paid in a single sum. 

  

	(c)	Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds – We will make level payments for the longer of the annuitants lifetime or until the total dollar amount of payments equals the
amount applied to this option. 

  
 If a life only option is
elected, no further payments will be made in the event of the death of the person upon whose life the payments are based. 
  
 Fixed income option 2(a) is not available for annuitant adjusted age(s) greater than 85. 
  
 Fixed Income Option 3 - Income of a Specified Amount 
  
 We will make payments for any specified amount you choose until the amount applied to this option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be
a series of level payments followed by a smaller final payment. The period of time over which these payments will be made is the guaranteed period. The specified amount (i.e., level payment) determines the guaranteed period and the smaller final
payment, based on the guaranteed interest rate of 1.5%. The guaranteed period and the smaller final payment will be determined using current interest rates if they are greater than the guaranteed interest rate. This option is similar to Option 1,
except that the information cannot be included in a table (since the specified amount is not known in advance). In the event of the death of the person receiving payments prior to the time proceeds with interest are exhausted, payments will be
continued to that person’s beneficiary or may be commuted and their present value may be paid in a single sum. 
  
 Fixed Income Option 4 - Joint and Survivor Annuity 
  
 No Period Certain – We will make payments during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your choosing. We will make payments as long as
either person is living. 
  
 Fixed income option 4 is not available for annuitant
adjusted age(s) greater than 85. 
  
 Current Income Options 
  
 The amounts shown in the tables on pages 16 and 17 are the guaranteed amounts. You may
obtain current amounts we offer to individuals of the same class, subject to availability as described under “Guaranteed Income Options” above. Any rates not shown in the tables contained in this annuity policy and which are available will
be provided by the Company upon request. 
  

					
	DB683	 	Page 13	 	 

 SECTION 9 – CONTINUED 
  
 C. VARIABLE INCOME OPTIONS 
  
 Variable Annuity Units 
  
 We will use the policy value you tell us to apply to a variable income option 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 business day is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c), where: 
  

	(a)	is the variable annuity unit value for that subaccount on the immediately preceding business 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 assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period is the product of daily discount factors which reflect the effective annual assumed investment
return shown on page 18. 
  
 The net investment factor used to calculate the value
of a variable annuity 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 net 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 the 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 applicable after the annuity commencement date. This factor is less than or equal to, on an
annual basis, the percentage shown on the Policy Data page, of the daily net asset value of a fund share held in the separate account for that subaccount. 

  
 Determination of the First Variable Payment 
  

The amount of the first variable payment is determined by multiplying each $1,000 of policy value allocated to a variable income option by the amounts shown on the
variable income option table for the variable income option you select. The tables are based on the effective annual assumed investment return shown on page 18 and the “Annuity 2000” (male, female, and unisex if required by law) mortality
table projected for improvement using projection scale G (50% of the female scale G factors were used, while 100% of the male scale G factors were used). The rates were projected dynamically using an assumed Annuity Commencement date of 2005. The
“Annuity 2000” mortality rates are adjusted based on improvements in mortality since 2000 to more appropriately reflect increased longevity. This is accomplished using a set of improvement factors referred to as projection scale G.

  
 Variable Income Option 3-V - Life Income 
  
 You may choose between: 
  

	(a)	No Period Certain –We will make payments during the lifetime of the annuitant. 

  

	(b)	10 Years Certain –We will make payments 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 or may be commuted and their present value may be paid in a single sum. For this option, present values would be determined
using only an interest rate component, but not using a mortality component. 

  
 Variable Income Option 3-V(a) is not available for adjusted age(s) greater than 85. 
  

					
	S1516	 	Page 14	 	 

 SECTION 9 – CONTINUED 
  
 Variable Income Option 5-V - Joint and Survivor Annuity 
  
 No Period Certain – We will make payments as long as either the annuitant or the joint annuitant is living. 
  
 Variable income option 5-V is not available for annuitant adjusted age(s) greater than 85.

  
 Determination of Subsequent Variable Payments 
  
 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 that subaccount on the annuity commencement date. The amount of each variable annuity payment after the first payment 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 payment 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. 
  
 Once annuity payments begin, neither expenses actually incurred other than taxes on the investment return, nor mortality actually experienced by the Company, shall adversely affect the dollar amount of variable
annuity payments to any annuitant for whom such payments have commenced.

 SECTION 10 – GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 THE CONTRACT 
  
 The entire contract consists of this policy, the Policy Data page, endorsements, and riders, if any, and the application signed by you, a copy of which is attached
hereto. No insertion in or other alteration of any written application can be made by any person other than you without your written consent, except that insertions may be made by us for administrative purposes only in such manner as to indicate
clearly that the insertions are not to be ascribed to you. All statements in the application made by or under the authority of the applicant are representations and not warranties. Nothing is incorporated by reference, unless a copy is endorsed upon
or attached to the policy. Nothing in the policy or any attached endorsements or riders thereto invalidates or impairs any right granted to the owner by New York law. 
  
 MODIFICATION OF POLICY 
  
 No change in this policy is valid unless made in writing by us and approved by one of our authorized officers. No agent or registered representative has authority to
change or waive any provision of Your policy. 
  
 TAX QUALIFICATION

  
 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 to reflect
any clarifications that may be needed or are appropriate to maintain such tax qualification or to conform this policy to any applicable changes in the tax qualification requirements. Any such amendment will be filed with and approved by the New York
Department of Insurance prior to use. We will send you a copy in the event of any such amendment. If you refuse such an amendment it must be by giving us written notice, and your refusal may result in adverse tax consequences. 
  
 NON–PARTICIPATING 
  
 This policy will not share in our profits or surplus. 
  
 AGE OR SEX CORRECTIONS 
  
 If the age or sex of the annuitant has been misstated, the benefits will be those, which the premiums paid, would have purchased for the correct age and sex. Any
underpayment made by us will be paid with the next payment. Any overpayment made by us will be deducted from future payments. Any underpayment or overpayment will include interest at 5% per year, from the date of the incorrect payment to the date of
the adjustment. 
  
 INCONTESTABILITY 
  
 This policy shall be incontestable from the policy date. 
  
 EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL 
  
 We have the right to require evidence satisfactory to us that a person was alive if a payment is based on that person being alive. No
payment will be made until we receive the evidence of continued survival. 
  
 SETTLEMENT 
  
 Any payment by us under this policy is payable at
our administrative office. 
  
 RIGHTS OF OWNER 
  
 Prior to the annuity commencement date, the owner may, while the annuitant is living:

  

	 	1.	Assign this policy. 

  

	 	2.	Surrender the policy to us. 

  

	 	3.	Amend or modify the policy with our consent. 

  

	 	4.	Elect to receive annuity payments or name a payee to receive the payments. 

  

	 	5.	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, irrevocable beneficiary, and of the spouse in a community or marital
property state. 
  
 Assignment of this policy may result in adverse tax
consequences. 
  
 CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP 
  
 As permitted by law, you can change the owner of this policy by notifying us in writing in a
form and manner acceptable to us. When a change takes effect, all rights of ownership in this policy will pass to the new owner. 
  
 A change of owner will not be effective until it is received by us. After it has been so received, the change will take effect as of the date you signed the notice.
However, if the annuitant dies before the notice has been so received, it will not be effective as to those proceeds we have paid before the change was received by us. 
  
 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. 
  

					
	R483	 	Page 20	 	 

 SECTION 10 – CONTINUED 
  
 ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE 
  
 The annuity commencement date is the date payments begin under an income option. In no event can this date be 1.) later than the last day of the month following the month
in which the annuitant attains age 95, or 2.) earlier than the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or next following the first policy anniversary. You may change the annuity commencement date at any time by giving us 30 days’
written notice. 
  
 ASSIGNMENT 
  

	(a)	In the case of a non tax–qualified annuity, this Policy may be assigned. The assignment must be in writing and filed with us. 

  

	(b)	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.

  

	(c)	This policy may be applied for and issued to qualify as a tax–qualified annuity under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. Ownership of this policy is then restricted
so that it will comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. 

  
 Assignment of this policy may result in adverse tax consequences. 
  
 BENEFICIARY 
  
 Death proceeds, when payable in accordance with
Section 8, are payable to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. Prior to the annuitant’s death, you may name or change a beneficiary, without the beneficiary’s consent (unless irrevocably designated or required by law) at any time
by notifying us in writing in a form and manner acceptable to us. The change will take effect upon the date you sign it, whether or not you are living when we receive it. The notice must have been postmarked (or show other evidence of delivery that
is acceptable to us) on or before the date of the annuitant’s death. Your most recent change of beneficiary notice will replace any prior beneficiary designations in their entirety. No change will apply to any payment we made before the written
notice was received. If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, you may designate a new beneficiary. 
  
 You may direct the manner of payment of death proceeds pursuant to the terms of this policy, subject to applicable law. In the absence of such direction, the beneficiary may elect the manner of payment or make an
election of any option. 
  
 Only those beneficiaries living or in existence at the
time of the annuitant’s death will be eligible to receive a share of the death proceeds. If both primary and contingent beneficiaries have been named, payment will be made to the named primary beneficiaries living or in existence at the time
the death proceeds become payable. Payment will be made to the named contingent beneficiaries only if all primary beneficiaries have died before the death proceeds become payable. 
  
 If death proceeds are payable to more than one beneficiary and you failed to specify their interest, they will share equally. If any
beneficiary is alive at the time the death proceeds become payable, but dies before receiving their payment, their share will be paid to their estate. 
  
 PROTECTION OF PROCEEDS 
  
 Unless you so direct by filing written notice with us, no beneficiary may assign any payments under this policy before the payments 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

  
 We will pay any partial withdrawals or surrender proceeds from the
separate account within 7 days after all requirements have been met. However, it may happen that the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (other than the usual weekend or holiday closings), or the Securities and Exchange Commission
restricts trading or determines that an emergency exists. If so, it may not be practical for us to determine the investment experience of the separate account. In that case, we may defer transfers among the subaccounts, and determination or payment
of partial withdrawals or surrender proceeds. 
  
 When permitted by law, we may
defer paying any partial withdrawals or surrender proceeds from the fixed account for up to 6 months from the date we receive your request. If the annuitant dies after the request is made, but before the request is processed, the request will be
processed before the death proceeds are determined. 
  
 REPORTS TO OWNER

  
 We will give you an annual report at least once each policy year. This
report will show the number and value of the accumulation units held in each of the subaccounts. It will also show the death benefit, cash value, and the method for determining the cash value. The report will be sent to you at the most current
address we have recorded for you.
