YOU, YOUR

The Covered Person(s) under this Endorsement.

                      GUARANTEED LIVING BENEFIT PROVISIONS

The Guaranteed Living Benefit described in this Endorsement provides for
guaranteed Withdrawals over the lifetime of the Covered Person(s), subject to
the following provisions:

ENDORSEMENT FEE

The Endorsement Fee percentage applicable to this Endorsement is as shown on the
Endorsement Data Page. If You surrender Your Contract and this Endorsement has
not been terminated, We will deduct a proportionate fee for the period of time
between the date when the last Endorsement Fee was deducted through the date of
surrender.

CALCULATION OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE GUARANTEED LIVING BENEFIT

To determine the Guaranteed Living Benefit, We use the following components:
Income Base, Income Base Evaluation Period [, Income Credit Base, Income Credit,
Net Income Credit Percentage, Income Credit Period, Minimum Income Base,] and
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount.

CALCULATION OF THE INCOME BASE

If the Guaranteed Living Benefit is elected on the Contract Date, the initial
Income Base is the initial Eligible Purchase Payment. If the Guaranteed Living
Benefit is elected after the Contract Date, the initial Income Base is [the
Contract Value on the Endorsement Effective Date, which is subject to the
Eligible Purchase Payment Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page.] In each
subsequent Benefit Year, the Income Base equals the Income Base at the beginning
of that Benefit Year plus

ASE-6242 (11/08)

                                       3

<PAGE>

any subsequent Eligible Purchase Payments made during that Benefit Year, less
proportionate adjustments for Excess Withdrawals that occur during that Benefit
Year. The Income Base is not used in the calculation of Contract Value or any
other benefits under the Contract.

On each Benefit Year anniversary occurring during an Income Base Evaluation
Period, the Income Base is automatically increased to the Highest Value when
this Highest Value is greater than (a), (b), and (c), where:

          (a)  is the cumulative Eligible Purchase Payments; and

          (b)  is the current Income Base[, increased by the Income Credit, if
               any]; and

          (c)  is all previous Highest Values during any Income Base Evaluation
               Period.

[CALCULATION OF THE INCOME CREDIT BASE

The Income Credit Base is used to calculate the amount of the Income Credit
during the Income Credit Period. If the Guaranteed Living Benefit is elected on
the Contract Date, the initial Income Credit Base is the initial Eligible
Purchase Payment. If the Guaranteed Living Benefit is elected after the Contract
Date, the initial Income Credit Base is [the Contract Value on the Endorsement
Effective Date, which is subject to the Eligible Purchase Payment Limit shown on
the Endorsement Data Page.] The Income Credit Base is not used in the
calculation of the Contract Value or any other benefits under the Contract.

          INCREASES IN THE INCOME CREDIT BASE

          The Income Credit Base increases each time subsequent Eligible
          Purchase Payments are made. The Income Credit Base also increases when
          the Income Base is increased as a result of a Highest Value that is
          greater than both the current Income Base and all previous Highest
          Values.

          DECREASES IN THE INCOME CREDIT BASE

          The Income Credit Base decreases each time an Excess Withdrawal is
          taken, in the same proportion by which the Contract Value is reduced
          by the Excess Withdrawal.]

[CALCULATION OF THE INCOME CREDIT

On each Benefit Year anniversary during the Income Credit Period, [if
Withdrawals were not made during the previous Benefit Year,] the Income Credit
is determined by multiplying the [Net] Income Credit Percentage by the Income
Credit Base. If [any Excess] Withdrawals were made in the previous Benefit Year,
then the Income Credit is reduced to [zero] [for that Benefit Year].]

On each Benefit Year anniversary during the Income Credit Period, We determine
the amount to which the Income Credit Base and/or the Income Base could
increase. The components used to determine this amount are:

          (a)  the Income Base calculated based on the Highest Value; and

          (b)  the Income Base plus the Income Credit, if any.

If (a) is greater than or equal to (b), the Income Credit Base and the Income
Base are increased to the Highest Value. If (b) is greater than (a), the Income
Base is increased by the Income Credit and the Income Credit Base remains
unchanged.]

[CALCULATION OF THE MINIMUM INCOME BASE

If the Guaranteed Living Benefit is elected on the Contract Date, the Minimum
Income Base is as shown on the Endorsement Data Page. If the Guaranteed Living
Benefit is elected after the Contract Date, the Minimum Income Base is [200% of]
[the Contract Value on the Endorsement Effective Date,] which is subject to the
Eligible Purchase Payment Limit shown on the Endorsement Data Page.

The Income Base will be increased to at least the Minimum Income Base on the
[10th Benefit Year anniversary], provided no Withdrawals are taken prior to that
anniversary. If You are eligible for the Minimum Income Base, the Income Base on
the [10th Benefit Year anniversary] is the greater of (a) and (b), where:

          (a)  is the current Income Base calculated based on the Highest Value;
               and

          (b)  is the Minimum Income Base.]

CALCULATION OF THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount is calculated by multiplying the Income
Base by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage [or if applicable, the
Continuation Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, ]as shown on the Endorsement
Data Page, which is determined by [Your Age at the time You first take a
Withdrawal from Your Contract].

ASE-6242 (11/08)

                                       4

<PAGE>

You may withdraw up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount throughout each
Benefit Year without reducing the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, and the
Income Base, [and the Income Credit Base]. [However, any Withdrawal will reduce
the Income Credit to zero for that Benefit Year.] If You do not withdraw the
entire Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in a Benefit Year, You may not carry
over any unused Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount to any subsequent Benefit Year.
In addition, Your Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount for the next Benefit Year
will not be recalculated as a result of taking Withdrawals less than the entire
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in any given Benefit Year.

Withdrawals made under the Guaranteed Living Benefit are treated like any other
Withdrawal under the Contract for purposes of calculating Contract Value,
including any fees and charges applicable to such Withdrawals and any other
benefits under the Contract. In any Benefit Year, Withdrawals up to Maximum
Annual Withdrawal Amount under this Endorsement are free of Withdrawal Charges.

INCREASES AND DECREASES IN THE INCOME BASE IMPACT YOUR MAXIMUM ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL
AMOUNT AS FOLLOWS:

INCREASES IN THE INCOME BASE

The Income Base is increased anytime an Eligible Purchase Payment is allocated
to Your Contract. The Income Base is also increased [by any available Income
Credit on any Benefit Year anniversary during the Income Credit Period, or] as a
result of a Highest Value being achieved resulting in the Income Base being
stepped up at any Benefit Year anniversary during the Income Base Evaluation
Period. [ In addition, the Income Base can also be increased to the Minimum
Income Base on the [10th Benefit Year anniversary], provided no Withdrawals are
taken before the [10th Benefit Year anniversary].] If the Income Base increases,
the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated by multiplying the
increased Income Base by the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage [,
or if applicable, the Continuation Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage]. In any
Benefit Year where Eligible Purchase Payments are allocated to Your Contract,
any remaining Withdrawals of Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be based on
the increased Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount reduced by Withdrawals previously
taken in that Benefit Year. If the Income Base is increased on a Benefit Year
anniversary, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be recalculated on that
Benefit Year anniversary by multiplying the increased Income Base by the
applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage [, or if applicable, the
Continuation Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage]. The Endorsement Fee will be
assessed on the increased Income Base.

DECREASES IN THE INCOME BASE

Excess Withdrawals reduce Your Income Base on the date the Excess Withdrawal
occurs. Any Excess Withdrawal in a Benefit Year reduces the Income Base in the
same proportion by which the Contract Value is reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.
As a result of a reduction of the Income Base, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal
Amount will also be reduced. The new Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount will be
equal to the reduced Income Base multiplied by the applicable Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Percentage [, or if applicable, the Continuation Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Percentage]. The last recalculated Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
in a given Benefit Year is available for Withdrawal at the beginning of the next
Benefit Year and may be lower than Your previously calculated Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Amount and the Endorsement Fee will be assessed on the decreased
Income Base. When the Contract Value is less than or equal to the Income Base,
Excess Withdrawals will result in a reduction of the Income Base by an amount
which is greater than the amount of the Excess Withdrawal.

REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS

This provision applies ONLY to the Contract to which this Endorsement is
attached. If you are taking Required Minimum Distributions and the Required
Minimum Distribution amount is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount
in any given Benefit Year, the Required Minimum Distributions amount will not be
treated as an Excess Withdrawal. However, any Withdrawal amount including the
Required Minimum Distribution amount in a Benefit Year that is more than the
greater of both the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount and the Required Minimum
Distribution amount will be considered an Excess Withdrawal for the purposes of
the recalculation of the [Income Credit Base, ] Income Base and Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Amount. [Furthermore, the Income Credit will be reduced to zero if
total [Excess] Withdrawals taken in any Benefit Year[, [including Required
Minimum Distributions] are in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount.]]

IF YOUR CONTRACT VALUE IS REDUCED TO ZERO

If Your Contract Value is reduced to zero and the Income Base is greater than
zero, a benefit remains payable under this Endorsement, but the Income Base will
no longer be increased on Benefit Year anniversaries, and all other benefits
under the Contract, including Death Benefits, will no longer be available.
However, if Your Contract Value is reduced to zero because of an Excess
Withdrawal, no further benefits will be payable under this Endorsement or the
Contract.

When the Contract Value equals zero and the Income Base is greater than zero,
any remaining benefit under this Endorsement must be taken through one of the
following income options:

     1.   The current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, divided equally and paid
          on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual

ASE-6242 (11/08)

                                       5

<PAGE>

          frequency as selected by You until the date of Your death(s); or

     2.   Any income option mutually agreeable between You and Us.

Once You elect an income option, it cannot be changed.

If You do not select an income option, the remaining benefit will be paid as the
current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount on a quarterly basis until the date of
Your death(s).

[EXTENSION OF THE INCOME BASE EVALUATION PERIOD [ AND THE INCOME CREDIT PERIOD]
("EXTENSION")

At the end of the Initial Income Base Evaluation Period You may elect to extend
the Income Base Evaluation Period [for [another [5] years] [provided You are age
[85] or younger at that time.] If You do not elect Extension at the end of the
Initial Income Base Evaluation Period[ and the Initial Income Credit Period],
future Extensions will not be available for election.

[At the end of the first Extension, if applicable, and thereafter, You may elect
to extend only the Income Base Evaluation Period for [5] years at a time,
provided You are age [85] or younger at that time.]

If You have continuously elected previous Extensions[ (no more than one
Extension for the Income Credit Period)], and You are at least Age 86 but less
than Age 90, You may elect a subsequent Extension with the final evaluation
occurring prior to Your 91st birthday. As a result, Your final Extension will be
for a period of less than [5] years.

Before the end of the Initial Income Base Evaluation Period, [the Initial Income
Credit Period,)] and the end of any elected Extension, We will notify You of
options available to You including the terms associated with election of the
Extension. If You choose to elect the Extension, You must notify Our Annuity
Service Center before the end of the Income Base Evaluation Period. We will send
You an updated Endorsement Data Page confirming the new terms of the Extension.
All other terms and conditions of this Endorsement remain unchanged.]

LATEST ANNUITY DATE

If there is remaining Contract Value and the Income Base is greater than zero on
the Latest Annuity Date, You must select one of the options listed below.

     1.   Annuitize the Contract Value under the Annuity Provisions of the
          Contract; or

     2.   Elect to receive the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount as of
          the Latest Annuity Date in the form of an income option, divided
          equally and paid on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual frequency as
          selected by You until the date of Your death; or

     3.   Any income option mutually agreeable between You and Us.
