 Dear David, 

RE: Retention Bonus 
 On the condition you remain
employed and continue to provide service to Aquinox Pharmaceuticals (Canada) Inc. (the “Company”), the Company is prepared to provide you with a Retention bonus of US$401,250 (equating 1.5x your annual target bonus) paid to you on the
earlier of (a) a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Executive Employment Agreement, dated January 1, 2014, as amended, between you and Company (the “Employment Agreement”)) (b) consummation of a Board Approved
Strategic Alternative (c) December 31, 2019, or (d) termination of your employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement). 

For purposes of this letter agreement, a “Board Approved Strategic Alternative” means (a) any transaction or series of transactions approved by
the Board whereby the Company or its affiliate acquires, via merger, acquisition, license or otherwise, the rights to additional products, product candidates or development programs, even if such transaction or series of transactions is not a Change
of Control or (b) a return of capital, via dividend or otherwise, by Aquinox Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to its stockholders in an aggregate amount of at least 50% of its consolidated cash and cash equivalents. 

In addition, the first sentence of section 5(d) of your Employment Agreement is amended to insert the words “or Board Approved Strategic
Alternative” after the words “Change in Control” such that the first sentence of Section 5(d) reads as follows: “In the event of a Good Reason occurring within the period of twelve (12) months after a Change in Control
or Board Approved Strategic Alternative, you may terminate your employment by providing one month’s written notice to the Board” and, moreover, the definition of “Board Approved Strategic Alternative” as set forth
above is incorporated by reference into the Employment Agreement. 
 Should the Company determine that your services are necessary beyond the consummation
of a Board Approved Strategic Alternative, you and the Company will negotiate in good faith a separate consulting agreement on terms agreeable to both you and the Company. 

The above bonus program replaces the previous Company annual bonus program. 

Sincerely,

ANNUITY TABLES

The rates in Tables 1 and 2 below are applied to the Account Value on the Annuity Date to compute the
minimum amount of the annuity payment for the payout options described below. Table 1 is used to compute the minimum annuity payment under Option 1 (Payments for Life with 120 Months Period Certain). Table 2 is used to compute the minimum initial annuity payment under Option 2 (Joint and Last Survivor).

BASIS OF COMPUTATION FOR ANNUITY OPTIONS: [We use an interest rate of 0.25% per year. The adjusted age is the Annuitant’s age as of the Annuitant’s last birthday prior to the date on which the first payment is due, adjusted as shown in the “Translation of Adjusted Age” table below. The actuarial basis of the Annuity Options is the Annuity 2000 valuation mortality table, with four-year age setback and projected mortality improvement factors (modified Scale G) projected from the age at annuitization to the age at which the probability of survival is needed in the calculation of the annuity payment.

Assets supporting our obligations during the Accumulation Period are held in separate accounts.  In the Payout Period, assets supporting annuity payments are held in our General Account.

Separate Accounts:  We are the legal owner of assets in the separate accounts.  Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to these separate accounts, are credited to or charged against each such separate account in accordance with the terms of the annuities supported by such assets without regard to our general corporate operations or other income, gains or losses, or to the income, gains or losses in any other of our separate accounts.  We will maintain assets in each separate account with a total market value at least equal to the reserve and other liabilities we must maintain in relation to the annuity obligations supported by such assets.  These assets may only be charged with liabilities which arise from such annuities.

Variable Separate Account(s):  The separate account(s) to which we allocate assets supporting our obligations under this Annuity  is the Variable Separate Account(s).  This separate account(s) consists of the Sub-accounts we make available with this Annuity as well as multiple Sub-Accounts made available in other annuities issued by us.  The Variable Separate Account(s) was established by us pursuant to Arizona law.  The Variable Separate Account(s) may also hold assets of other annuities issued by us with values and benefits that vary according to the investment performance of the Sub-accounts.  

The amount of our obligations in relation to allocations to the Variable Separate Account(s) is based on the investment performance of the Sub-accounts.  However, the guarantees provided under the Annuity are our general corporate obligations.

The Variable Separate Account(s) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as a unit investment trust, which is a type of investment company.  This does not involve any supervision by the SEC of the investment policies, management or practices of the Variable Separate Account(s).

Sub-accounts may invest in underlying mutual funds or portfolios.  We may change the investment policy of any or all Sub-accounts, add Sub-accounts, eliminate Sub-accounts, combine Sub-accounts, restrict or prohibit additional allocations to certain Sub-accounts, limit access to Sub-accounts, or substitute underlying mutual funds or portfolios of underlying mutual funds, subject to any required regulatory approvals.  Please refer to the “Reserved Rights” section for additional information.  Values and benefits based on allocations to the Sub-accounts will vary with the investment performance of the underlying mutual funds or fund portfolios, as applicable.  We do not guarantee the investment results of any Sub-account.

We may transfer assets of the Variable Separate Account(s), which we determine to be associated with the class of contracts to which this Annuity belongs, to another Variable Separate Account(s).  If this type 

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    7

of transfer is made, the term "Variable Separate Account(s)" as used in this Annuity, shall include the Variable Separate Account(s) to which the assets were transferred.

CHARGES

General:  The charges which are, or may be, deducted from your Annuity include, but are not limited to: the Insurance Charge, the Annual Maintenance Fee, Tax Charges, a Transfer Fee, and any charges for any benefits provided by rider or endorsement.

Annual Maintenance Fee:  This is a fee deducted on each anniversary of the Issue Date occurring on or before the Annuity Date, and upon surrender.  However, we will waive the Annual Maintenance Fee due at surrender if the surrender occurs within 30 days after an Annual Maintenance Fee was last deducted.  The fee is shown in the Annuity Schedule.  We will waive all or a portion of this fee, if we are required by law or regulation, to meet any minimum nonforfeiture requirements.  We will also waive this fee after the Annuity Date, and when a Death Benefit is determined, unless Spousal Continuation occurs.  We reserve the right to waive this fee at any other time on a non-discriminatory basis.

As of the Valuation Day the Annual Maintenance Fee is due, the fee is deducted pro-rata from the Account Value of all Sub-accounts to which your Account Value is allocated.  

Tax Charges:  The Annuity may include a charge generally intended to approximate any applicable premium tax, retaliatory tax and other taxes imposed on us by a state, municipality or other jurisdiction.  In some cases the Tax Charges may be more, and in some cases less, than the actual amount of taxes we are required to pay with respect to a particular Annuity.  We may, in our discretion, pay these taxes when due and deduct the Tax Charges from the Account Value at a later date.

Transfer Fee:  The Transfer Fee is shown in the Annuity Schedule.  The fee is deducted pro-rata from all Sub-accounts in which you maintain Account Value immediately subsequent to the transfer.  Transfers made through any electronic method or program we specify are not counted in calculating any applicable Transfer Fee.  For purposes of calculating the Transfer Fee, all transfers made on the same Valuation Day count as one transfer.

Insurance Charge: The Insurance Charge consists of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and Administration Charge and is assessed on each Valuation Day as part of the net investment factorat the daily equivalent of the rate shown in the Annuity Schedule, certain endorsements and the Schedule Supplements of certain riders made a part of this Annuity.  See the “Account Value” section of this Annuity for a description of how the Insurance Charge is deducted.

RIGHTS AND DESIGNATIONS

You may exercise the rights, options and privileges granted in this Annuity or permitted by us.  Your rights to make future changes under this Annuity terminate as of the date we receive notice of death of the decedent.  The person upon whose death the Death Benefit is payable is referred to as the “decedent.” No rights of survivorship are provided except as provided herein.

You make certain designations that apply to the Annuity.  These designations are subject to our rules and to various regulatory or statutory requirements, depending on the use of the Annuity.  These designations may include an Owner(s), an Annuitant(s), a Contingent Annuitant(s), a Beneficiary(ies), and a contingent Beneficiary(ies).  Certain designations are required, as indicated below.  

Owner(s):  An Owner must be named.  You may name more than one Owner; however, we may limit the number of Owners.  If you name more than one Owner, all rights reserved to Owners are then held equally by all Owners.  We require the consent in Good Order of all Owners and any other party with current vested rights for any transaction for which we require the written consent of Owners.  However, if the Owners each provide us with instructions that we find acceptable, we will permit an Owner to act independently on behalf of all the Owners with respect to those transactions which would otherwise require the written consent of all Owners.  We will send all communications to the address of the first named Owner.

Annuitant:  You must name an Annuitant.  You may name a Joint Annuitant or a Contingent Annuitant(s), subject to our approval.  If an Annuitant who is not an Owner predeceases any Owner who is a natural person, not an entity:

		
	(a)
	If a Joint Annuitant is designated and alive, the Joint Annuitant becomes the Annuitant; or

		
	(b)
	If no Joint Annuitant is designated and alive, the designated Contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant; or

(c) If no Contingent Annuitant is designated or alive, the Owner becomes the Annuitant; or

		
	(d)
	If no Joint Annuitant or Contingent Annuitant is designated or alive and there are multiple Owners who are natural persons, the oldest of such Owners becomes the Annuitant.

Beneficiary(ies):  The Death Benefit is payable to the Beneficiary(ies).  You may designate one or more Beneficiaries and designate one or more classes of Beneficiaries: (i) primary Beneficiaries and (ii) contingent Beneficiaries.  If you make such a designation, the proceeds are payable in equal shares to the survivors in the appropriate Beneficiary class, unless you request otherwise in Good Order. 

Unless otherwise required by law, if the primary Beneficiary(ies) predeceases the decedent as described in the Death Benefit section, the Death Benefit proceeds will become payable to the contingent Beneficiary(ies).  If the Beneficiary(ies) dies after the death of the decedent, but before the Death Benefit proceeds are paid, the Death Benefit proceeds will be payable to the Beneficiary’s(ies’) estate(s) upon our receipt of Due Proof of Death of the decedent.  If no Beneficiary is alive when the Death Benefit proceeds are determined or there is no Beneficiary designation, the proceeds are payable to any surviving Owner(s), including an Owner that is an entity.  If there is no surviving Owner(s), the proceeds are payable to your estate. 

Changing Designations:  You may request to change the Owner(s), Annuitant, Contingent Annuitant, Beneficiary and contingent Beneficiary designations by sending us a request in Good Order.  Such changes will be subject to our acceptance.  Some of the changes we may not accept include, but are not limited to: 

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    10

(a) a new Owner(s) subsequent to the death of the Owner or, if there are multiple Owners, the first of such Owners to die, unless the change of Owner is the result of Spousal Continuation; 

(b) a new Owner such that the new Owner is older than the age for which we would then issue the Annuity as of the effective date of such change, unless the change of Owner is the result of Spousal Continuation if we then permit Spousal Continuation at the age of the proposed Owner; 

(c) a new Annuitant subsequent to the Annuity Date if the annuity option selected includes a life contingency; 

(d) any change to the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant prior to the Annuity Date if the Owner is an entity; and 

(e) a designation change if the change request is received at our Service Office after the Annuity Date.

If there is a change of Owner(s) or Annuitant, the Latest Available Annuity Date will be based on the age of the oldest Owner(s) or Annuitant once the change is made.  The Annuity Date must: (a) be on or after the Earliest Available Annuity Date and on or before the new Latest Available Annuity Date; and (b) must be consistent with applicable laws and regulations at the time.

A change of Owner or Annuitant will take effect on the date the notice of change is signed, unless otherwise specified by you, subject to any payments made or actions taken by us prior to our receipt of the notice in Good Order and our acceptance of the change.  An Owner may seek to transfer ownership of the Annuity, subject to the interest of any assignee or beneficiary of record. We reserve the right to reject any ownership change at any time, on a non-discriminatory basis for purposes of satisfying applicable law or regulation. We assume no responsibility for the validity or tax consequences of any change of ownership.

Unless designated as "irrevocable", you may instruct us to change the Beneficiary. An irrevocable Beneficiary is one whose written consent is needed before you can change the Beneficiary or exercise certain other rights. A change of Beneficiary will take effect on the date the notice of change is signed, unless otherwise specified by you, subject to any payments made or actions taken by us prior to our receipt of the notice in Good Order.

Common Disaster:  If an Owner is a natural person, and if any other Owner or Beneficiary dies with the Owner in a common disaster, it must be proved to our satisfaction that the Owner died first.  When there is insufficient evidence to determine the order of death, then, unless prohibited by law, we will deem the Owner to be the last survivor and pay the proceeds to any remaining Beneficiary, or if none, to any remaining contingent Beneficiary, or if none, to any surviving Owner, or if none, to the Owner’s estate.

If: (a) the Owner is an entity; (b) no Contingent Annuitant has been designated; and (c) the Annuitant and the Beneficiary die in a common disaster, then it must be proved to our satisfaction that the Annuitant died first.  Unless prohibited by law, when there is insufficient evidence to determine the order of death, we will deem the Annuitant to be the last survivor and pay the proceeds to any remaining Beneficiary, or if none, to any remaining contingent Beneficiary, or if none, to the Owner.  

PURCHASE PAYMENTS

Initial Purchase Payment:  Issuance of an Annuity represents our acceptance of an initial Purchase Payment.  The amount of your initial Purchase Payment evidenced by this Annuity is shown in the Annuity Schedule.  Purchase Payments are allocated to the Investment Options we make available according to your instructions.

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    11

Additional Purchase Payments:  The Purchase Payment Age Limitation and the Minimum Additional Purchase Payment are as shown in the Annuity Schedule.  We may limit, restrict or suspend any or all additional Purchase Payments at any time.  We will notify you in writing in advance of any such limit, restriction or suspension.   Additional Purchase Payments will be allocated to the Investment Options according to your instructions.  If you have not provided any allocation instructions with the additional Purchase Payment, we will allocate it on a pro-rata basis to the Sub-accounts in which your Account Value is then allocated excluding any Sub-accounts to which you are not permitted to electively allocate or transfer Account Value.  If the Account Value in the Sub-accounts to which you may electively allocate Account Value is zero, we will allocate your additional Purchase Payment to a money market Sub-account.

ACCOUNT VALUE

Account Value in the Sub-accounts:  We determine your Account Value separately for each Sub-account we make available.  To determine the Account Value in each Sub-account, we multiply the Unit Price, as of the Valuation Day for which the calculation is being made, by the number of Units attributable to your Annuity in that Sub-account as of that Valuation Day. 

Units:  The number of Units attributable to this Annuity in a Sub-account is the number of Units  purchased less the number of Units liquidated.  We determine the number of Units involved in any transaction specified in dollars by dividing the dollar value of the transaction by the Unit Price of the affected Sub-account as of the Valuation Day applicable to such transaction.

Unit Price:  The Unit Price for each Sub-account is the net investment factor for that Valuation Period, multiplied by the Unit Price for the immediately preceding Valuation Day.  The Unit Price for a Valuation Period applies to each day in the period.

Net Investment Factor:  Each Sub-account has a net investment factor. The net investment factor is an index that measures the investment performance of, and charges assessed against, a Sub-account from one Valuation Period to the next.

The net investment factor for a Valuation Period is (a) divided by (b), less (c), where:

		
	(a)
	is the net result of:

		
	(1)
	the net asset value per share of the underlying mutual fund shares held by that Sub-account at the end of the current Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution declared and unpaid (accrued) by the underlying mutual fund, plus or minus

		
	(2)
	any per share charge or credit during the current Valuation Period as a provision for taxes attributable to the operation or maintenance of that Sub-account.

		
	(b)
	is the net result of:

		
	(1)
	the net asset value per share of the underlying mutual fund shares held by that Sub-account at the end of the preceding Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution declared and unpaid (accrued) by the underlying mutual fund, plus or minus

		
	(2)
	any per share charge or credit during the preceding Valuation Period as a provision for taxes attributable to the operation or maintenance of the Sub-account.

		
	(c)
	is the Insurance Charge and any applicable charge assessed against a Sub-account for any Rider attached to this Annuity corresponding to the portion of the 365 day year (366 for a leap year) that is in the current Valuation Period.

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    12

We value the assets in the Sub-account(s) at their fair market value in accordance with accepted accounting practices and applicable laws and regulations. The net investment factor may be greater than, equal to, or less than one.

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    13

ALLOCATION RULES

You may allocate your Account Value among the Investment Options we make available, excluding any Investment Options to which you are not permitted to electively allocate or transfer Account Value.  We may limit the availability of Investment Options for additional Purchase Payments or transfers.  Should you request a transaction that would leave less than the Minimum Investment Option Amount, shown in the Annuity Schedule, in an Investment Option, we may, to the extent permitted by law, add the balance of your Account Value in the applicable Investment Option to the transaction and close out your balance in that Investment Option.

Transfer Restrictions:  We may limit the number of transfers between or among such Sub-accounts in any Annuity Year for all existing or new Owners in order to preserve the tax status of your Annuity.  In addition, in light of the risks that frequent transfers impose upon Owners and other investors in the Variable Separate Account(s) and/or mutual fund portfolios that serve as funding vehicles for the Sub-accounts, we may limit transfer activity and impose other requirements or charges to minimize these risks, including but not limited to, requiring a minimum time period between each transfer, limiting the number of transfers in any Annuity Year or refusing any transfer request for an Owner or certain Owners.

Where permitted by law, you may authorize a third party to transfer Account Values on your behalf.  Such authorization is subject to our acceptance and to the transfer restrictions described in the preceding paragraph.  We may suspend or cancel our acceptance of the authorization at any time.  We may restrict the Investment Options available for transfers or allocation of Purchase Payments by such third party.  If we do so, we will give the third party advance notice.  

We will not restrict the available Investment Options if we receive evidence satisfactory to us that: (a) a court of competent jurisdiction has appointed such third party to act on your behalf; or (b) you have executed a power of attorney naming such third party to act on your behalf for insurance transactions.  We may refuse to accept, or suspend or cancel our acceptance of, a power of attorney at any time. 

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    14

DISTRIBUTIONS

General:  We require you to submit a request in Good Order to our Service Office for any withdrawal or surrender.  We may also require that you send your Annuity to our Service Office as part of any surrender request.  Unless we receive instructions from you prior to a withdrawal, we will take the withdrawal pro-rata from the Sub-accounts in which your Account Value is then allocated.  We price any distribution on the Valuation Day we receive all required materials in Good Order. 

Surrender:  Surrender of your Annuity for its Surrender Value is permitted during the Accumulation Period.

Partial Withdrawals:  You may withdraw part of your Surrender Value.  If the amount of the partial withdrawal request reduces your Account Value below the Minimum Surrender Value After a Partial Withdrawal shown in the Annuity Schedule, we may treat your request as a request for a full surrender.

Required Minimum Distributions:  If your Annuity is being used for certain qualified purposes under the Internal Revenue Code, you may be required to begin receiving minimum distributions on a periodic basis from your Annuity.  The total amount of the minimum distributions required under the Code may depend on other annuities, savings or investments you have.  We will calculate a required minimum distribution amount each year, based solely on the value of this Annuity.  The amount we calculate (“Required Minimum Distribution”)  will not be based on any other annuities, savings or investments.  We will notify you of the Required Minimum Distribution amount each year.  If you choose  to have the Required Minimum Distribution paid out from this Annuity, you must do so through a program we make available.

If you choose to take your Required Minimum Distribution from this Annuity,  we will take each Required Minimum Distribution pro-rata from the Investment Options to which your Account Value is allocated at the time of the distribution unless we receive other instructions from you.  If the amount of the Required Minimum Distribution reduces your Account Value below the Minimum Surrender Value After a Partial Withdrawal, we may treat the distribution as a full surrender of the Annuity.  After the Annuity Date, we will view the annuity payments as your Required Minimum Distributions with respect to the Annuity.

DEATH BENEFIT

The “decedent” is the person upon whose death the Death Benefit during the Accumulation Period is determined  A Death Benefit is payable only if your Account Value at the time of the decedent’s death is greater than zero.  

If the Owner is a natural person, not an entity, the Owner is the decedent upon his or her death.  If there is more than one Owner, each being a natural person, the first of such Owners to die is the decedent. 

If the Owner is an entity, and there is no Contingent Annuitant, then the Annuitant is the decedent and the Death Benefit is payable upon the Annuitant’s death or the first Annuitant to die if there are Joint Annuitants.  

If the Owner is an entity, and there is a Contingent Annuitant, no Death Benefit is payable upon the death of the Annuitant. The Contingent Annuitant may become the Annuitant.  

The Death Benefit is determined as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death of the decedent.  Unless Spousal Continuation occurs on the date we receive Due Proof of Death, we transfer all amounts due each Beneficiary from whom we do not have payment instructions to a money market Sub-account until we receive such instructions in Good Order. 

In the event of death before the Annuity Date, the Death Benefit must be distributed within: (a) five years of the date of death of the decedent; or (b) as to each Beneficiary, over a period not extending beyond the 

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    15

life expectancy of the Beneficiary or over the life of the Beneficiary.  Except as noted below in the “Spousal Continuation” section, we assume that the Death Benefit is to be paid out under (a), above, unless we receive a different election.

The Owner(s) may elect the method of payment to each 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 in order to pay the Death Benefit to that Beneficiary.  If no election is made within 60 days, the default will be distribution within five years of the date of death of the decedent as noted in (a) above. In addition, distribution after a decedent's death to be paid over the life expectancy or over the life of the Beneficiary under (b), above, must commence within one year of the date of death.

The Owner may elect to have any amount of the proceeds due to a Beneficiary applied under any of the Annuity Payout Options described in the “Annuity Payment Options” section, or any other option we then make available.  If you make such an election, a Beneficiary may not alter such an election.  However, if you have not previously made such an election, a Beneficiary may make such an election as to the proceeds due that Beneficiary.  The Beneficiary will be the “measuring life” for determining the amount of any annuity payments dependent on the continuation of life.  We may require evidence satisfactory to us of the age of the measuring life prior to commencement of any annuity payments.

In the event of death on or after the Annuity Date, we distribute any payments due subsequent to an Owner’s or Annuitant’s death at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect as of the date of such Owner’s or Annuitant’s death.

Interest on the Death Benefit: We will pay interest from the eighth day following the date that Due Proof of Death is received in Good Order.  The rate of interest will equal the rate of interest applicable to death benefit proceeds left on deposit with us.  Beginning with the date that is 31 calendar days from the latest of items 1, 2 and 3 below we will pay an additional rate of 10% annually.

		
	1.
	The date that Due Proof of Death is received by us in Good Order; 

		
	2.
	The date we receive sufficient information to determine its liability, the extent of the liability, and the appropriate payee legally entitled to the proceeds; and 

		
	3.
	The date that legal impediments to payment of proceeds that depend on the action of parties other than us are resolved and sufficient evidence of the same is provided to us. Legal impediments to payment include, but are not limited to (a) the establishment of guardianships and conservatorships; (b) the appointment and qualification of trustees, executors and administrators; and (c) the submission of information required to satisfy a state and federal reporting requirements.

Death Benefit: The amount of the Death Benefit is equal to the Account Value on the date we receive Due Proof of Death of the decedent.  We call this the “Basic Death Benefit.”  

Spousal Continuation:  We allow the spouse to continue the Annuity subsequent to a decedent’s death, subject to our rules and subject to our receipt of Due Proof of Death.  The situations where the Annuity may continue subsequent to a death will be determined by us.  For example, these situations may include when on the date we receive Due Proof of Death of the decedent:

		
	(a)
	there is only one Owner of the Annuity and there is only one Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse, or

		
	(b)
	there are two Owners who are married to each other on the date of death of the decedent, and the surviving Owner is the sole primary Beneficiary under the Annuity, or

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    16

		
	(c)
	there are two Owners who are married to each other on the date of death of the decedent, and no Beneficiary designation has been elected, in which case the surviving spouse Owner is the sole primary Beneficiary pursuant to the Beneficary(ies) section of this Annuity.

Spousal Continuation may occur only once.

ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS

General:  This Annuity provides for payments under one of the Annuity Options described below. Any other available Annuity Options, in addition to those shown, may be selected with our consent. Certain Annuity Options may not be available, depending on the age of the Annuitant.  You will be the payee of the payments under the Annuity Option selected, unless we receive other instructions in Good Order.

Annuity payments can be guaranteed for a period certain and life, as described below. You may choose an Annuity Date, an Annuity Option and the frequency of annuity payments, however, if the amount applied to the Annuity Option results in an annuity payment amount less than the Minimum Annuity Payment shown in the Annuity Schedule, we may require annuity payments to be made at quarterly, semiannual or annual intervals so as to result in an initial annuity payment of at least the Minimum Annuity Payment. Your choice of Annuity Date and Annuity Option may be limited, depending on your use of the Annuity.

The Earliest Available Annuity Date and Latest Available Annuity Date as of the Issue Date are shown in the Annuity Schedule. You may change your choices at any time up to thirty days before any Annuity
Date you selected. We must receive your request in Good Order.

On the Annuity Date we apply the Account Value, less any applicable Tax Charges, to the Annuity Option you select. If you have not selected an Annuity Option, the default Annuity Option will be Option 1 with a certain period of 120 months (but not to exceed the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the Annuity Option becomes effective, as computed under applicable IRS tables).

If, on the Annuity Date, the amount that would otherwise be applied to the Annuity Option is less than the Minimum Surrender Value at Annuitizationwe reserve the right to pay you the Account Value in one lump sum in full satisfaction of our obligations under this Annuity. The Minimum Surrender Value at Annuitization is shown in the Annuity Schedule.

Annuity Options:  You may elect one of the Annuity Options listed below or any other Annuity Option we may make available. Annuity payments available on the Annuity Date will not be less than those provided by the application of an equivalent amount to the purchase of a single premium immediate annuity contract offered by us on the Annuity Date to the same class of Annuitants for the same Annuity Option. The basis of computation for each Annuity Option is shown in the Annuity Schedule. 

Option 1: Payments for Life with a Period Certain: We will pay equal periodic payments for the longer of the Annuitant’s remaining lifetime or a fixed period of time (the “Period Certain”). If this Annuity has Joint Annuitants, annuity payments will be based on the remaining lifetime of one Annuitant designated by the Owner. If the Annuitant dies after all annuity payments have been made for the Period Certain, annuity payments shall end with the last scheduled annuity payment due before the Annuitant’s death.  If you have not selected an Annuity Option this will be the default Annuity Option.

Option 2: Joint and Last Survivor: We will pay equal periodic payments for the joint remaining lifetimes of Joint Annuitants. Annuity payments end with the last scheduled annuity payment due before the last surviving Annuitant’s death. We will not make any annuity payments to the Beneficiary under this option.

ICC19-P-VA/IND(6/19)    17

We may require evidence satisfactory to us of the age of the Annuitant upon whose life payment amounts are calculated prior to commencement of any annuity payments. 

Death During the Payout Period:  In the Payout Period, subsequent to the death of the Annuitant, we continue to pay any Period Certain payments (payments not contingent on the continuance of any life) to the Owner (or named payee, if requested by the Owner) or, if applicable, any named Beneficiary.  If no Beneficiary has been named, any remaining Period Certain payments will be paid to your estate.  Note that the Beneficiary designation during the Accumulation Period is applicable to the Payout Period unless you have indicated otherwise.

Recovery of Excess Annuity Payments:  We may recover any annuity payments we have made after the Annuitant’s death under any annuity option (other than one that provides for “Period Certain” payments).

Annuity Payments: Annuity payments under Option 1 and 2 above do not fluctuate.  The Account Value on the Annuity Date, less any applicable Tax Charges, is used to determine the annuity payments. The payment amount will be determined based on the annuity rates for the annuity option and the frequency of payment selected.  The annuity rates per $1,000 of value for Monthly Annuity Payments under Options 1 (assuming 120 Months Period Certain) and Option 2 above will not be less than those shown in the Annuity Tables in the Annuity Schedule. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

CONFORMITY WITH INTERSTATE INSURANCE PRODUCT REGULATION COMMISSION STANDARDS (IIPRC): This contract was approved under the authority of the IIPRC and issued under the IIPRC standards. Any provision of this contract that is in conflict with IIPRC standards on the Issue Date is hereby amended to conform to the standards.

Entire Contract:  This Annuity, including the Annuity Schedule, any riders, endorsements, schedule supplements, and amendments that are made part of this Annuity, are the entire contract.  This Annuity may be changed or modified only in a writing signed by our President, a Vice President, or Secretary.  We are not bound by any promises or representations made by, or to, any other person. 

Incontestability:  We will not contest this Annuity.  Any statements made in applying for the Annuity are considered representations, not warranties.

Misstatement of Age or Sex:  If there has been a misstatement of the age and/or sex of any person upon whose life any amounts we are obligated to determine in order to make any payment, including charges and annuity payments, the Death Benefit or any increase to Account Value under the “Spousal Continuation” section, we will adjust such amounts to conform to that for the correct age and/or sex.  As to annuity payments: (a) any underpayments by us will be remedied on the next payment following correction with interest at a rate not less than that required by applicable law but not exceeding 6%; and (b) any overpayments by us will be charged against future amounts payable by us under your Annuity.

Transfers, Assignments or Pledges: Generally, your rights in this Annuity may be transferred, assigned or pledged for loans.

We may defer any distribution from any Sub-account or any transfer from a Sub-account for a period not to exceed seven calendar days from the date the transaction is effected. 

In addition to the transfer restrictions above, all transactions into, out of, or based on any Sub-account may be postponed whenever: (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary holidays or weekends) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the SEC; (2) the SEC permits postponement and so orders; or (3) the SEC determines that an emergency exists making valuation or disposal of securities not reasonably practical.

Claims of Creditors:  To the extent permitted by law, no payment or value under this Annuity is subject to the claims of your creditors or those of any other Owner, any Annuitant, or any Beneficiary.

Evidence of Survival:  Before we make a payment, we have the right to require proof of continued life and any other documentation we need to make a payment.  We can require this proof for any person whose life or death determines whether or to whom we must make the payment.

Tax Reporting and Withholding:  We comply with all applicable federal and state tax reporting and withholding laws and regulations with respect to this Annuity.  Events giving rise to such tax reporting and withholding include, but are not limited to: (a) annuity payments; (b) payment of Death Benefits; (c) other distributions from the Annuity; and (d) transfers and assignments. 

Facility of Payment:  Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right, in settlement of full liability, to make payments to a guardian, conservator or other legal representative if a payee is legally incompetent. 

Participation and Termination of Certain Programs We May Offer:  To elect to participate in, or to terminate participation in, any program we may offer, we must receive your request in Good Order at our Service Office.

Minimum Benefits:  Any benefits available under this Annuity are not less than the minimum benefits required by Section 7 of the NAIC Model Variable Annuity Regulation, model 250. 

Reports to You:  We will provide you with a statement at least once annually at no charge showing: the beginning and end dates of the statement period; the Account Value at the beginning and end of the statement period; a reconciliation of all transactions that occurred during the statement period; the Surrender Value at the end of the statement period; and, any other information required by law.  We will send it to you at the address contained in our records not more than 31 days after the statement end date.  You may request additional reports.  We reserve the right to charge you a fee for any additional reports, not to exceed a maximum of $50 for each such additional report.  

Reserved Rights:  In addition to rights specifically reserved elsewhere in this Annuity, we reserve the right to perform any or all of the following:  (a) combine a Sub-account with other Sub-accounts; (b) combine the Variable Separate Account(s) shown in the Annuity Schedule with other "unitized" separate accounts; (c) deregister the Variable Separate Account(s) shown in the Annuity Schedule under the Investment Company Act of 1940; (d) operate the Variable Separate Account(s) shown in the Annuity Schedule as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or in any

other form permitted by law; (e) make changes required by any change in the federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any changes to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s interpretation thereof;  (f) make changes that are necessary to maintain the tax status of your Annuity, any rider, amendment or endorsement attached hereto or any charge or distribution from your Annuity under the Internal Revenue Code; (g) to establish a provision for federal income taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion, that we will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Separate Account; (h) make any changes required by Federal or state laws with respect to annuity contracts; and (i) to the extent dictated by any underlying mutual fund, impose a redemption fee or restrict transactions within any Sub-account. We reserve the right to modify this Annuity without receiving your prior consent, except as may be required by any applicable law, if we are required to make changes necessary to comply with state regulatory requirements, Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") requirements or other federal requirements.

We may eliminate Sub-accounts, restrict or prohibit additional allocations to certain Sub-accounts, or substitute one or more new underlying mutual funds or portfolios for the one in which a Sub-account is invested in which case any reference to pro-rata allocations would include only those Sub-accounts that do not restrict or prohibit additional allocations.  Substitutions may be necessary if we believe an underlying mutual fund or portfolio no longer suits the purpose of the Annuity.  This may happen due to a change in laws or regulations, or a change in the investment objectives or restrictions of an underlying mutual fund or portfolio, or because the underlying mutual fund or portfolio is no longer available for investment, or for any other reason.  We would obtain any prior approval as required by any applicable law.  We will notify you in writing in advance of any such changes.
