TRANSFER CALCULATION FORMULA

The following are the Terms and Definitions referenced in the Transfer Calculation Formula:

	
·  

	
AV is the current Account Value of the Annuity

	
·  

	
V is the current Account Value of the elected Sub-accounts of the Annuity

	
·  

	
B is the total current value of the Transfer Account

	
·  

	
Cl is the lower target value; it is established on the Effective Date and is not changed for the life of the guarantee

	
·  

	
Ct is the middle target value; it is established on the Effective Date and is not changed for the life of the guarantee

	
·  

	
Cu is the upper target value; it is established on the Effective Date and is not changed for the life of the guarantee

	
·  

	
T is the amount of a transfer into or out of the Transfer Account

	
·  

	
“Projected Future Guarantee” is an amount equal to the highest Account Value (adjusted for Withdrawals and additional Net Purchase Payments, as described in the Rider) within the current Benefit Year that would result in a new Guarantee Amount.  For the Projected Future Guarantee, the assumed Guarantee Period begins on the current Valuation Day and ends10 years from the next anniversary of the Effective Date.  We only calculate a Projected Future Guarantee if the assumed Guarantee Period associated with that Projected Future Guarantee does not extend beyond the latest Annuity Date applicable to the Annuity.

Transfer Calculation

The formula, which is set on the Effective Date of the 90% Cap Rule as shown in this Schedule Supplement and is not changed while the Rider is in effect, determines, on each Valuation Day, when a transfer is required.

On the Effective Date of the 90% Cap Rule (and only on this date), the following asset transfer calculation is performed to determine the amount of Account Value allocated to the Transfer Account:

If (B / (V + B) > .90), then

T = B - [(V + B) * .90]

If T as described above is greater than $0, then that amount (“T”) is transferred from the Transfer Account to the elected Sub-accounts and no additional transfer calculations are performed on the Effective Date of the 90% Cap Rule.  Any transfers into the Transfer Account are suspended.  The suspension will be lifted once a transfer out of the Transfer Account occurs.

On each Valuation Date thereafter (including the Effective Date of the 90% Cap Rule, provided (B / (V + B) < = .90), the formula begins by determining for each Guarantee Amount and for the Projected Future Guarantee, the value on that Valuation Day that, if appreciated at the applicable discount rate, would equal the Guarantee Amount at the end of the Guarantee Period.  We call the greatest of these values the “current liability (L)”.

L = MAX(Li), where Li = Gi / (1 + di) (Ni/365)

P-SCH-HDGROCAP(11/09)                                                               

 ((8/10))

TRANSFER CALCULATION FORMULA (Continued)

Where:

	
·  

	
Gi is the value of the Guarantee Amount or the Projected Future Guarantee

	
·  

	
Ni is the number of days until the end of the Guarantee Period

	
·  

	
di is the discount rate associated with the number of days until the end of a Guarantee Period (or the assumed Guarantee Period, for the Projected Future Guarantee).  The discount rate is determined by taking the greater of the Benchmark Index Interest Rate less the Discount Rate Adjustment, and the Discount Rate Minimum.  The applicable term of the Benchmark Index Interest Rate is the same as the number of days remaining until the end of the Guarantee Period (or the assumed Guarantee Period, for the Projected Future Guarantee).  If no Benchmark Index Interest Rate is available for such term, the nearest available term will be used.  The Discount Rate Minimum is determined based on the number of months since the Effective Date.

Next the formula calculates the following formula ratio (r):

r = (L – B) / V.

If the formula ratio exceeds an upper target value, then, subject to the 90% Cap Rule, Account Value will be transferred to the bond fund Sub-account associated with the current liability. If, at the time we make a transfer to the bond fund Sub-account associated with the current liability, there is Account Value allocated to a bond fund Sub-account not associated with the current liability, we will transfer all assets from that bond fund Sub-account to the bond fund Sub-account associated with the current liability.

The formula will transfer assets into the Transfer Account if r > Cu, subject to the 90% Cap Rule.

The transfer amount is calculated by the following formula:

T = {Min(MAX(0, (.90 * (V + B)) - B), [L – B – V * Ct] / (1 – Ct))}

If the formula ratio is less than a lower target value and there are assets in the Transfer Account, then the formula will transfer assets out of the Transfer Account into the elected Sub-accounts.

The formula will transfer assets out of the Transfer Account if r < Cl and B > 0.

The transfer amount is calculated by the following formula:

T = {Min(B, – [L – B – V * Ct] / (1 – Ct))}

If following a transfer to the elected Sub-accounts, there are assets remaining in a bond fund Sub-account not associated with the current liability, we will transfer all assets from that bond fund Sub-account to the bond fund Sub-account associated with the current liability.

At any given time, some, most, or none of the Account Value may be allocated to the Transfer Account under the Transfer Calculation formula.

90% Cap Rule:  If, on any Valuation Day, on and after the Effective Date of the 90% Cap Rule, a transfer into the Transfer Account occurs which results in 90% of the Account Value being allocated to the Transfer Account, any transfers into the Transfer Account will be suspended even if the formula would otherwise dictate that a transfer into the Transfer Account should occur.  Transfers out of the Transfer Account and into the elected Sub-accounts will still be allowed.  The suspension will be lifted once a transfer out of the Transfer Account occurs.  Due to the performance of the Transfer Account and the elected Sub-Accounts, the Account Value could be more than 90% invested in the Transfer Account.exhibit4au.htm

TRANSFER CALCULATION FORMULA (Continued)

Next the formula calculates the following formula ratio (r):

r = (L – B) / (VV + VF).

If the formula ratio exceeds an upper target value, then Account Value will be transferred to the bond portfolio Sub-account associated with the current liability subject to the 90% Cap Rule.  If, at the time we make a transfer to the bond portfolio Sub-account associated with the current liability, there is Account Value allocated to a bond portfolio Sub-account not associated with the current liability, we will transfer all assets from that bond portfolio Sub-account to the bond portfolio Sub-account associated with the current liability.

The formula will transfer assets into the Transfer Account if r > Cu and if transfers have not been suspended due to the 90% Cap Rule. Assets in the elected Sub-accounts and Fixed Rate

Options, if applicable, are transferred to the Transfer Account in accordance with the Transfer provisions of the Rider.

The transfer amount is calculated by the following formula:

T = {Min(MAX(0,(.90 * (VV + VF + B)) - B), [L - B – (VV + VF) * Ct] / (1 – Ct))}

If the formula ratio is less than a lower target value, and there are assets in the Transfer Account, then the formula will transfer assets out of the Transfer Account and into the elected Sub-accounts.

The formula will transfer assets out of the Transfer Account if r < Cl and B > 0.

The transfer amount is calculated by the following formula:

T = {Min (B, - [L – B - (VV + VF) * Ct] / (1 – Ct))}

If, following a transfer to the elected Sub-accounts, there are assets remaining in a bond portfolio Sub-account not associated with the current liability, we will transfer all assets from that bond portfolio Sub-account to the bond portfolio Sub-account associated with the current liability.

90% Cap Rule: If, on any Valuation Day this Rider remains in effect, a transfer into the Transfer Account occurs which results in 90% of the Account Value being allocated to the Transfer Account, any transfers into the Transfer Account will be suspended even if the formula would otherwise dictate that a transfer into the Transfer Account should occur.  Transfers out of the Transfer Account and into the elected Sub-accounts will still be allowed.  The suspension will be lifted once a transfer out of the Transfer Account occurs.  Due to the performance of the Transfer Account and the elected Sub-Accounts, the Account Value could be more than 90% invested in the Transfer Account.
