For purposes of this Rider, certain provisions of your Annuity  are amended as described below.  If the terms of the Annuity and those of this Rider conflict, the  provisions of this Rider shall control.  Should this Rider terminate, any amended or replaced Annuity  provisions based on this Rider’s terms will revert to the provisions in the Annuity, except as may be  provided below.  This Rider should be read in conjunction with any other Rider or Endorsement made a  part of your Annuity.       General:  This Rider makes provision for benefit payments during the lifetime of a Designated Life or  Spousal Designated Lives (described below).  Subject to the limits and conditions outlined in this Rider,  each Benefit Year while there is Account Value you may take an income amount (“Annual Income  Amount”) as one or multiple Income Withdrawals. Generally, if your Unadjusted Account Value is reduced  to zero and you meet certain requirements while this Rider is in effect, we continue to provide benefit  payments as described in the “Benefit Payment Phase ” section.      This Rider will terminate upon assignment or change in ownership of the contract unless the  change meets the qualifications specified in the Termination provision of this Rider.  This Rider  will terminate upon the later of the death of the Designated Life or the Spousal Designated Life as  described below.      Prior to elective or default annuitization or the Benefit Payment Phase begins, all benefits  provided by this Rider are based on the investment experience of the Separate Account, are  variable and, therefore not guaranteed as to a fixed dollar amount.    Effective Date:  The Effective Date of this Rider is shown in the Schedule Supplement (“the Schedule  Supplement”).     Definitions:  For purposes of this Rider, the following definitions apply:           Account Value: The total value of all allocations to the Investment Options on any Valuation Day.                  Adjusted Purchase Payments:  Purchase Payments we receive less any fees, charges or Tax         Charges we deduct prior to allocation to the Investment Options you select.                  Benefit Year:  A Benefit Year begins on the Effective Date and on each anniversary of the         Effective Date thereafter, and continues through and includes the day immediately preceding the         next anniversary of the Effective Date.  For tax qualified contracts, after the first Income         Withdrawal the next  Benefit Year begins on the first Valuation Day of the calendar year. Each         subsequent Benefit Year will then correspond with the calendar year.                    Designated Life/Spousal Designated Life:  The natural person(s) who is the measuring life/lives         for the benefits described in this Rider and who is the person(s) shown in the Schedule         Supplement or in our records if later added.  Any reference to Spousal Designated Lives is         collectively referring to the Designated Life and the Spousal Designated Life.                  Excess Income: All or any portion of an Income Withdrawal that exceeds the Annual Income         Amount plus any Unused Annual Income Amount.                  Income Withdrawal:  Any Withdrawal taken under the terms of this Rider that is not designated by         you as a Non-Income Withdrawal.  Once you have taken your first Income Withdrawal from the         Annuity, all further Withdrawals will be deemed to be Income Withdrawals.                    Non-Income Withdrawal:  A Withdrawal elected and designated as such by you.               P-RID-LW(11/19)                             1 

 

       Unadjusted Account Value:  The Account Value prior to the application of any Market Value         Adjustment.                   Withdrawal(s): Withdrawals of any type (including Partial Withdrawals) before the application of         any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge or other charge or adjustment we apply to a         Withdrawal. Charges for this Rider and other charges associated with the Annuity, are not         Withdrawals.           Other capitalized terms in this Rider are either defined in this Rider or in the Annuity.                              Owner, Annuitant and Beneficiary Designations    For purposes of this Rider, the designations under your Annuity must be as follows:    For Income Withdrawals to begin on a Designated Life basis:                        •  The Owner and Annuitant must be the same.  Such person will be the Designated Life.                          •  If two Owners are named, the Annuitant must be one of the Owners.  Such person will be                 the Designated Life.  The other Owner must be the spouse of the Designated Life. No                 additional Owners may be named.  While both Owners are alive, each Owner must be                 designated as the other Owner’s primary Beneficiary.                        •  If the Owner is an entity that we permit, the Annuitant will be the Designated Life.              For Income Withdrawals to begin on a Spousal Designated Lives basis:            A Spousal Designated Life may only be named and Income Withdrawals may be made on a          Spousal Designated Lives basis only if the Annuity would be eligible for Spousal Continuation (as          defined in the Annuity) as of the date of the Owner’s death, subject to our rules.                        •  If one Owner is named, the Owner and Annuitant must be the same.  Such person will be                 the Designated Life.  The Spousal Designated Life must be the spouse of the Designated                 Life and the sole primary Beneficiary.                         •  If two Owners are named, the Annuitant must be one of the Owners.  Such person will be                 the Designated Life. The Spousal Designated Life must also be an Owner and the                 spouse of the Designated Life. No additional Owners may be named.  While both                 Spousal Designated Lives are alive, each must be designated as the sole primary                 Beneficiary.                        •  If the Owner is an entity that we permit, the Annuitant will be the Designated Life.                      A Spousal Designated Life may be named or changed at any time prior to the start of Income          Withdrawals, subject to our acceptance. The Designated Life cannot be changed except in the          event of divorce as described in the circumstances below.  Upon receipt of notice of the divorce,          and any other documentation we require, in Good Order at our Service Office:                           •   When a Designated Life is named: If the divorce occurs prior to the first Income                   Withdrawal and results in the removal of the Designated Life as an Owner (or Annuitant                   if entity owned) and the former spouse becomes the Owner (or Annuitant if entity                   owned) under the Annuity, the resulting Owner may choose to continue or terminate this                   Rider. If this Rider is continued, such resulting Owner (or Annuitant if entity owned)                   becomes the Designated Life under this Rider, however the Annual Income Amount will                   be determined using the applicable Spousal Designated Life Income Percentage(s) and                   Income Deferral Rate based on the younger of the new Designated Life and the                   Designated Life on the Effective Date.  Additionally, a Spousal Designated Life may not                   be named. If divorce occurs after the first Income Withdrawal, and results in the removal                   of the Designated Life as an Owner (or Annuitant if entity owned) and the former spouse     P-RID-LW(11/19)                             2 

 

                 becomes the Owner (or Annuitant if entity owned) under the Annuity, this Rider will                   terminate.                                  •   When Spousal Designated Lives are named: If the divorce of the Spousal Designated                   Lives results in the removal of the Designated Life as an Owner (or Annuitant if entity                   owned) and the Spousal Designated Life becomes the Owner (or Annuitant if entity                   owned) under this Annuity, the resulting Owner may choose to continue or terminate                   this Rider.  If this Rider is continued, the resulting Owner (or Annuitant if entity owned)                   becomes the Designated Life under this Rider.  If this occurs prior to the first Income                   Withdrawal, the Annual Income Amount will be determined using the applicable Spousal                   Designated Life Income Percentage(s) and Income Deferral Rate based on the younger                   of the Spousal Designated Lives named under this Rider as of the divorce.  If divorce                   occurs after the first Income Withdrawal, the divorce will not result in a new Annual                   Income Amount and we will only make Income Payments as described below in the                   Income Payments section until the death of the new Designated Life.  A new Spousal                   Designated Life may not be named.                                            Accumulation Phase    Accumulation Phase: The period of time before the first Income Withdrawal.    Income Base: During the Accumulation Phase, on each Valuation Day the Income Base will equal the  Unadjusted Account Value.  The Income Base is a value used to determine the Estimated Annual Income  Amount during the Accumulation Phase; it does not reflect any available value in the Annuity.       Income Percentage: The Income Percentage is the rate we apply to the Income Base to determine the  Estimated Annual Income Amount.  We declare Initial Income Percentage rates periodically and the rate  applicable to the Rider on the Effective Date is shown in the Schedule Supplement. Initial Income  Percentages for additional Adjusted Purchase Payments are determined as described below.  Before the   first Income Withdrawal, the Income Percentage includes any accrued Income Deferral Rate.      The Initial Income Percentage for your initial Adjusted Purchase Payment(s) is based on the  age of the   Designated Life, or the younger of the Spousal Designated Lives, on the Effective Date. If the Spousal   Designated Life has been added, changed, or removed before the first Income Withdrawal, we   recalculate the Estimated Annual Income Amount using the applicable Income Percentage(s) and Income   Deferral Rate as described herein and in the Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments section below   based on the named Designated Life or younger of the Spousal Designated Lives as of the effective date   of each such addition, change, or removal.    When Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments are applied to the Annuity, the Income Percentage will be   recalculated to determine a weighted Income Percentage. The recalculated Income Percentage is   determined by using a weighted average.  The components of the weighted average are:          A)  The Income Base applicable immediately before we apply the Additional Adjusted Purchase          Payment.      B)  The Income Percentage (including any accrued Income Deferral Rate) applicable immediately          before we apply the Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment.      C)  The amount of the Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment applied.      D)  The Initial Income Percentage attributable to the Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment based          upon the rates applicable on the date we applied the Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment and          the attained age of the Designated Life, or the younger of the Spousal Designated Lives, on that          same date.      The formula for the new weighted Income Percentage = ((A x B) + (C x D)) / (A + C)      This new weighted Income Percentage accumulates according to the applicable Income Deferral Rate   shown in the Schedule Supplement.    Income Deferral Rate:  The Income Deferral Rate is expressed as an annual percentage.  A daily portion  of the Income Deferral Rate, is added to the Initial Income Percentage each day through the day of the    P-RID-LW(11/19)                             3 

 

 first Income Withdrawal.  The Income Deferral Rate is based on the age of the Designated Life or the   younger of the Spousal Designated Lives on the Effective Date and each Benefit Year anniversary   thereafter and is shown in the Schedule Supplement. If the first Income Withdrawal occurs on a day other   than the Benefit Year anniversary, the portion of the Income Deferral Rate corresponding to the amount   of time that has elapsed since the prior Benefit Year anniversary will be added to the Income Percentage.       Estimated Annual Income Amount: An amount that, if Income Withdrawals were to begin on the   Valuation Day quoted, could be withdrawn from the Annuity during the Benefit Year without being   considered Excess Income. We will quote this amount  upon request. The Estimated Annual Income   Amount is determined by applying the Income Percentage, including any accrued Income Deferral Rate   on the date of the quote, to the Income Base as of the prior Valuation Day.      Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment(s):  You may make Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments,   subject to the  “Purchase Payment(s) Limitation” section.  We will not accept Additional Adjusted   Purchase Payments once the Unadjusted Account Value reaches zero or the Owner reaches age 85,   whichever comes first.        For each Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment made to the Annuity, the Income Base is increased by   the dollar amount of the Adjusted Purchase Payment on the Valuation Day on which the Adjusted   Purchase Payment is allocated to the Annuity.  Each Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment will be   assigned its own Initial Income Percentage based on the attained age of the Designated Life, or the   younger of the Spousal Designated Lives, on the Valuation Day on which the Adjusted Purchase   Payment is allocated to the Annuity. The Initial Income Percentage applicable to each Adjusted Purchase   Payment will be increased, until the first Income Withdrawal, by the Income Deferral Rate.      The Initial Income Percentage applied to Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments will not be less than the   Minimum Income Percentage shown in the Schedule Supplement.       Impact of Withdrawals and Advisory Fees During the Accumulation Phase:  Withdrawals of any   type, including any Required Minimum Distribution amount we calculate and any Advisory Fees,   described below, reduce the Income Base by the amount of the Withdrawal or Advisory Fee.    Withdrawals, excluding any Required Minimum Distribution Amount and any  Advisory Fees are subject to   any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and any Market Value Adjustment and the Minimum   Surrender Value After a Partial Withdrawal shown in the Annuity Schedule.      Death of the Designated Life During the Accumulation Phase: Please also refer to the “Termination of   Benefits” section below.  Upon receipt of Due Proof of Death of the Designated Life, this Rider terminates   and the Death Benefit provision of your Annuity and any Death Benefit Rider made a part of your Annuity   will apply.  If Spousal Continuation occurs under the terms of the Annuity, this Rider will remain in force   unless we are instructed otherwise and the spouse who continues the Annuity and this Rider becomes   the Spousal Designated Life. If this occurs, the Income Percentage(s) and Income Deferral Rate will be   based on the applicable Spousal Designated Life Income Percentage(s) correlated with the age of the   younger of the Spousal Designated Lives.      Death of the Spousal Designated Life During the Accumulation Phase: Please also refer to the   “Termination of Benefits” section below.  This Rider will remain in force unless we are instructed   otherwise or if the death of the Spousal Designated Life would cause the Death Benefit provision of the   Annuity to apply and Spousal Continuation does not occur under the terms of the Annuity.   The Annual  Income Amount will continue to be based on the applicable Spousal Designated Life Income  Percentage(s) correlated with the age of the younger of the Spousal Designated Lives and no changes to  the Spousal Designated Lives are permitted.                                              Income Withdrawal Phase    You may elect to take your Annual Income Amount based on the Designated Life or the Spousal  Designated Lives in effect when we receive your request to do so in Good Order. You may change this  election before Income Withdrawals begin, subject to the requirements set forth in the Owner, Annuitant  and Beneficiary Designation sections of this Rider.  You may not change this election upon the first  Income Withdrawal.      P-RID-LW(11/19)                             4 

 

 Income Withdrawal Phase: The time period beginning on the Valuation Day next following the first  Income Withdrawal and ending on the Valuation Day the Unadjusted Account Value is reduced to zero.      Annual Income Amount: The amount that can be withdrawn from your Annuity during a Benefit Year,   excluding any Unused Annual Income Amount, without being considered Excess Income.                   •   The Annual Income Amount is calculated at the time of the first Income Withdrawal and                   on the first Valuation Day of each Benefit Year thereafter by applying the Income                   Percentage as of the Valuation Day to the Income Base on that Valuation Day (prior to                   the Income Base being adjusted for Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments and                   Withdrawals on that date).                 •   The Annual Income Amount is adjusted for Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments as                   described below.    Income Base: During the Income Withdrawal Phase, the Income Base is used to calculate the Annual  Income Amount only and does not reflect any available value in your Annuity.  The Income Base will  change as follows:                 •   The Income Base will change daily based on a Net Performance Adjustment.  The Net                   Performance Adjustment is the change in the value of  your Unadjusted Account Value                   from a Valuation Day to the next Valuation Day excluding changes due to Additional                   Adjusted Purchase Payments and Withdrawals.                                  •   Withdrawals of Excess Income proportionally reduce the Income Base by the ratio of the                   Excess Income amount to the Unadjusted Account Value immediately prior to the                   withdrawal of Excess Income.  Withdrawals of Excess Income are subject to any                   applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and Market Value Adjustment which, if                   applicable, are included in the total amount of Excess Income by which the Income                   Base will be reduced.      Income Withdrawals less than or equal to the Annual Income Amount and any Unused Annual Income  Amount do not reduce the Income Base.    Income Percentage:  The rate applied to the Income Base to determine the Annual Income Amount.   The Income Percentage in the Income Withdrawal Phase is equal to the Income Percentage at the end of  the Accumulation Phase including any accrued Income Deferral Rate, unless you have made Additional  Adjusted Purchase Payment(s).  When Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments are applied to the  Annuity, the Income Percentage will be recalculated to determine a weighted Income Percentage. The  recalculated Income Percentage is determined by using a weighted average.  The components of the  weighted average are:         A)  The Income Base applicable immediately before we apply the Additional Adjusted Purchase          Payment.      B)  The Income Percentage applicable immediately before we apply the Additional Adjusted          Purchase Payment.      C)  The amount of the Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment applied.      D)  The Initial Income Percentage attributable to the Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment based          upon the rates applicable on the date we applied the Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment and          the attained age of the Designated Life, or the younger of the Spousal Designated Lives, on that          same date.    The formula for the new weighted Income Percentage = ((A x B) + (C x D)) / (A + C)    Impact of Income Withdrawals:  Income Withdrawals reduce the Annual Income Amount available  during a Benefit Year by the amount of the Withdrawal.      Income Withdrawals in a Benefit Year that, in total, do not exceed the Annual Income Amount and  Unused Annual Income Amount are not subject to any Contingent Deferred Sales Charges, but are     P-RID-LW(11/19)                             5 

 

 subject to any applicable Market Value Adjustment.  Income Withdrawals are not treated as Withdrawals   of Adjusted Purchase Payments.      Advisory Fees: Advisory Fees are permitted to be taken from your Annuity each Benefit Year if your  Unadjusted Account Value is greater than zero and the Advisory Fee does not exceed the Standard  Advisory Fee Percentage shown in the Schedule Supplement.  Such Advisory Fees will not reduce the  available Annual Income Amount in that Benefit Year. Advisory Fees reduce your Unadjusted Account  Value and  will reduce your Income Base proportionally by the ratio of the Advisory Fee amount to the  Unadjusted Account Value immediately prior to the Advisory Fee being taken and, in future Benefit Years,  your Annual Income Amount.  Advisory Fees are subject to any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales  Charge and Market Value Adjustment.        Unused Annual Income Amount: Any portion of the Annual Income Amount not withdrawn in a Benefit  Year may be carried over to allow for Withdrawals above the  Annual Income Amount in future Benefit  Years until the Benefit Payment Phase begins. Any Unused Annual Income Amount for a Benefit Year will  increase or decrease on the Benefit Year anniversary by the percentage change in the Income Base from  the prior Benefit Year anniversary excluding any increase to the Income Base from Additional Adjusted  Purchase Payments.  In any Benefit Year where Unused Annual Income Amount is available,   Withdrawals will be taken first from the current Benefit Year’s Annual Income Amount and then from any  Unused Annual Income Amount unless You request otherwise. If a systematic withdrawal program is in  effect the systematic withdrawals will be taken first from the Annual Income Amount and then from any  Unused Annual Income Amount.      Additional Adjusted Purchase Payment(s):  You may make Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments,  subject to the  “Purchase Payment(s) Limitation” section.  We will not accept Additional Adjusted  Purchase Payments once the Unadjusted Account Value reaches zero or the Owner reaches age 85,  whichever comes first.      For each Adjusted Purchase Payment made to the Annuity, the Income Base is increased by the dollar  amount of the Adjusted Purchase Payment on the Valuation Day on which the Adjusted Purchase  Payment is allocated to the Annuity.  The Annual Income Amount is increased by an amount obtained by  applying the then current applicable Initial Income Percentage based on the attained age of the  Designated Life, or the younger of the Spousal Designated Lives, to the amount of the Additional  Adjusted Purchase Payment on the Valuation Day on which the Adjusted Purchase Payment is allocated  to the Annuity.  The Initial Income Percentage applied to Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments will not  be less than the Minimum Income Percentage for Additional Adjusted Purchase Payments shown in the  Schedule Supplement.    Death of the Designated Life During the Income Withdrawal Phase: Please also refer to the  “Termination of Benefits” section below.  Upon receipt of Due Proof of Death of the sole Designated Life,  this Rider terminates and the Death Benefit provision of your Annuity and any Death Benefit Rider made  a part of your Annuity will apply.      Death of the Spousal Designated Life During the Income Withdrawal Phase: Please also refer to the  “Termination of Benefits” section below.  This Rider will remain in force unless we are instructed  otherwise or if the death of the Spousal Designated Life would cause the Death Benefit provision of the  Annuity to apply and Spousal Continuation does not occur under the terms of the Annuity.  The Annual  Income Amount will continue to be based on the applicable Spousal Designated Life Income  Percentage(s) correlated with the age of the younger of the Spousal Designated Lives and no changes to  the Spousal Designated Lives are permitted.                                          Elective Annuitization    While this Rider is in effect, prior to your Unadjusted Account Value reaching zero, but not before the  Earliest Available Annuity Date shown in the Annuity Schedule, you may elect to annuitize your Annuity.   You can elect to:        (1) apply your Unadjusted Account Value, less any applicable Tax Charges, to any annuity payment          option available in the “Annuity Payout Options” section of the Annuity; or     P-RID-LW(11/19)                             6 

 

          (2) request that, as of the date annuity payments are to begin, we make annuity payments each year          equal to the Annual Income Amount on that date, excluding any Unused Annual Income Amount,          at the frequency selected.  In the year in which the Elective Annuitization phase is entered the          only payment due, if any, equals the Annual Income Amount not yet withdrawn in that Annuity          Year.  Annuity payments will be paid to you at the frequency selected beginning on the next          Valuation Day. We will continue to make such payments until the later of the death of the          Designated Life or the Spousal Designated Life.  The amount of the annuity payments will not          change after annuity payments have begun. Any Unused Annual Income Amount can no longer          be carried over to the next Benefit Year and will not be applied in determining the amount of the          annuity payment, and you will no longer have access to any remaining Unadjusted Account          Value.                We must receive your request at our Service Office in Good Order.  Once we receive your election to  commence annuity payments, or we make the first payment under a default annuity payment option  provision, we will only make annuity payments guaranteed under the specific annuity payment option, and  the annuity payment option cannot be changed.    We may limit the length of any annuity payout option including, but not limited to, any default option and  any period certain, to conform to applicable tax rules.    We may offer other Annuity options for payment of the Annual Income Amount.  Any such additional  options will be offered to all annuity purchasers in the same class of annuity, in a non-discriminatory  manner. You will be notified of any such options available to you.                                           Default Annuitization    Prior to your Unadjusted Account Value reaching zero, if annuity payments are to begin under the terms  of the Annuity and you have not made an election and there are no current instructions for Withdrawals of  the Annual Income Amount, we will make equal monthly annuity payments beginning on the 1st day of the   month on or immediately following the date that your annuity payments are set to begin as:            •   a joint life and last survivor fixed annuity when both Spousal Designated Lives are living and each          other’s spouse on the date annuity payments begin, or              •  a single life fixed annuity if the Designated Life is living or only one of the Spousal Designated          Lives are living when annuity payments would otherwise begin              with 120 payments certain (or a lesser number of payments certain if the life expectancy of the Annuitant  at the time payments are to begin is less than 10 years, based on applicable Internal Revenue Service  tables) using the same basis that is used to calculate the greater of the annuity rates then currently  available or the annuity rates guaranteed in the Annuity.    The amount that will be applied to provide such annuity payments under the default annuity payment  option will be the greater of:        (1) the present value of future applicable Annual Income Amount payments at the last determined          Annual Income Amount as of the Annuity Date.  Such present value will be calculated using the          same basis that is used to calculate the greater of the current and the guaranteed annuity rates in          the Annuity; and            (2) the Unadjusted Account Value.      We may limit the length of any annuity payout option including, but not limited to, any default option and  any period certain, to conform to applicable tax rules.       P-RID-LW(11/19)                             7 

 

 We may offer other Annuity options for payment of the Annual Income Amount.  Any such additional   options will be offered to all annuity purchasers in the same class of annuity, in a non-discriminatory   manner. You will be notified of any such options available to you.                                           Benefit Payment Phase                                                      Once your Unadjusted Account Value is reduced to zero as a result of Withdrawals in any Benefit Year   that are less than or equal to the Annual Income Amount plus any Unused Annual Income Amount, we   subsequently make Benefit Payments until the death of the Designated Life or until both Spousal   Designated Lives have died, as applicable.  Unless a Spousal Designated Life election is in effect at the   time your Unadjusted Account Value is reduced to zero, the Annual Income Amount is payable on a   Designated Life basis.  In the Benefit Year in which your Unadjusted Account Value is reduced to zero,   the only Benefit Payment due, if any, equals the Annual Income Amount not yet withdrawn in that Benefit   Year plus any Unused Annual Income Amount.  In subsequent Benefit Years, the Benefit Payment equals  the Annual Income Amount in effect as of the date the Unadjusted Account Value was reduced to zero.    We will make such Benefit Payments according to any then current instructions for withdrawals of the  Annual Income Amount, unless we receive other instructions for such Benefit Payments from you.  If no  instructions are received and there are no current instructions for withdrawals of the Annual Income  Amount, Benefit Payments will be paid to you in equal monthly payments beginning on the 1st day of the  month on or immediately following the date that your Benefit Payments are set to begin.     If the total Benefit Payment due each Benefit Year is less than the Minimum Benefit Payment amount  shown in the Schedule Supplement, we will commute any Benefit Payments due and pay you a lump  sum. We will commute the Benefit Payments in a manner equivalent to commuting payments for:        •   a joint life and last survivor fixed annuity when both Spousal Designated Lives are living and each          other’s spouse when Benefit Payments would otherwise begin, or                 •   a single life fixed annuity if the Designated Life is living or only one of the Spousal Designated          Lives are living when Benefit Payments would otherwise begin.              We use the same basis that is used to calculate the guaranteed annuity rates in the Annuity.    Benefit Payments end on the date of death of the Designated Life or when both Spousal  Designated Lives have died, as applicable.    We may offer other Benefit Payment options. Any such additional options will be offered to all annuity  purchasers in the same class of annuity, in a non-discriminatory manner. You will be notified of any such  options available to you.                                                                                          General Provisions Relating to this Rider    Purchase Payment(s) Limitation:  While this Rider is in effect, we may limit, restrict, suspend or reject   any additional Purchase Payments at any time, on a non-discriminatory basis.  Circumstances where we   may limit, restrict, suspend or reject additional Purchase Payments include, but are not limited to, the   following:          •   if we determine that, as a result of the timing and amounts of your additional Purchase Payments          and Withdrawals, the Annual Income Amount is being increased in an unintended fashion.           Among the factors we will use in making a determination as to whether an action is designed to          increase the Annual Income Amount in an unintended fashion is the relative size of additional          Purchase Payment(s); or      •   if we are not then offering this benefit for new issues; or      •   if we are offering a modified version of this benefit for new issues.              We will exercise such reservation of right for all annuity purchasers in the same class of annuity, in a non-  discriminatory manner.       P-RID-LW(11/19)                             8 

 

 Required Minimum Distributions:  Unless designated as a Non-Income Withdrawal, a Required  Minimum Distribution is considered an Income Withdrawal from the Annuity.  The following rules apply to  determine if any portion of a Required Minimum Distribution amount will be treated as Excess Income.      In general, Income Withdrawals made from the Annuity to meet the Required Minimum Distribution  provisions of the Code will not be treated as Excess Income.      If, in any Benefit Year, your Required Minimum Distribution amount is less than the Annual Income  Amount, any Income Withdrawals in excess of the Annual Income Amount will be treated as Excess  Income.     For purposes of this provision, Required Minimum Distributions are determined based on the value of this  Annuity, and do not include the value of any other annuities, savings or investments subject to the  Required Minimum Distribution rules.  In any Benefit Year that the Required Minimum Distribution is  greater than the Annual Income Amount, the excess amount of Income Withdrawals you make that  exceed the Required Minimum Distribution amount calculated by us based on the value of this Annuity  will be treated as Excess Income.      In any year in which the requirement to take Required Minimum Distributions is suspended by law, we  reserve the right, regardless of any position taken on this issue in a prior year, to treat any amount that  would have been considered as a Required Minimum Distribution, if not for the suspension, as eligible for  treatment under this provision.    Misstatement of Age or Sex:  For purposes of this Rider, the following sentence is added to the  “Misstatement of Age or Sex” section of the Annuity:            If there has been a misstatement of the age and/or sex of a Designated Life or Spousal          Designated Life upon whose life the guarantees under this Rider are based, we will make          adjustments to any availability and any benefits payable under this Rider to conform to the facts.    Minimum Surrender Value After Partial Withdrawal:  Any provision in the Annuity requiring there be a  minimum Surrender Value or Unadjusted Account Value is waived for withdrawals of the Annual Income  Amount while this Rider is in effect.    Investment Limitations:  While this Rider is in effect, your entire Unadjusted Account Value must be  allocated to only the Investment Options we permit.  At any time until this Rider is terminated, these  investment limitations may be implemented, suspended or changed.  This includes changing the  prohibited Investment Options, changing the extent to which Unadjusted Account Value may be allocated  to an Investment Option, and changing the required Investment Options.  Any transfers you make  to  retain this Rider in accordance with any changed Investment Option requirements or limitations will not be  counted in determining the number of free transfers made during an Annuity Year.  If, subsequent to the  Effective Date, we change our requirements as to how Unadjusted Account Value must be allocated  under the  Rider, we will not compel you to re-allocate your Unadjusted Account Value in accordance with  our newly-adopted requirements; however, all transfers and Adjusted Purchase Payments made after  such a change in requirements may be subject to the new investment limitations.  We will apply the new  requirement to Riders with an Effective Date on or after the date we implement the requirement.      Reports to You:  We will provide you with reports at least annually that will include at a minimum,  the Annual  Income Amount.    Withdrawals:  Any Withdrawal(s) from the Annuity while this Rider is in effect will be taken on a pro-rata  basis from the Investment Options to which your Unadjusted Account Value is then allocated, including  any DCA MVA Option, unless we receive other instructions from you.    Charge for the Rider:  The Charge for this Rider is a percentage of the Unadjusted Account Value.  We  deduct the charge from the Unadjusted Account Value on each successive three month anniversary of  the Effective Date.  We deduct the Charge pro-rata from each Sub-account to which your Unadjusted  Account Value is then allocated.        P-RID-LW(11/19)                             9 

 

On the Effective Date, the Charge for the Rider is as shown in the Schedule Supplement. We may  change the Charge for the Rider at any time on or after the Earliest Charge Change Date.  Any increased  charge will not exceed the Maximum Charge for the Rider. The Earliest Charge Change Date and the  Maximum Charge for the Rider are shown in the Schedule Supplement.      We will notify you in writing in advance of an increase in the charge for the Rider.  You will have the  option of refusing the charge increase.  If you refuse the charge increase, the charge for the Rider  will continue at the present rate while this Rider is in effect.  However, your  Income Percentage  will be subject to a one time and permanent reduction of 5% of the Income Percentage on the next  anniversary of the Effective Date.      If you wish to opt out of the charge increase, you must notify us within the time period stated in our notice  to you; otherwise the charge increase will become effective.  When we receive your opt-out request, we  will send you a form confirming the estimated dollar amount of the 5% Income Percentage reduction.  If  you still wish us to process your opt-out request, you must sign and return the form to us at our Service  Office in Good Order.    If we process your opt-out request, your Income Percentage will be subject to a one time and  permanent reduction of 5% of the Income Percentage on the next anniversary of the Effective  Date.      If you have not yet made the first Income Withdrawal on the date we process your opt-out request, then  on each Valuation Day until you make the first Income Withdrawal, your Annual Income Amount (taking  into account the opt-out reduction described in the preceding paragraph) will continue to reduce for Non- Income Withdrawals and increase for Adjusted Purchase Payments, if permitted, as described in the  “Annual Income Amount” section of the Rider.    If you made the first Income Withdrawal prior to the date we process your opt-out request, then on each  Valuation Day, your Annual Income Amount (taking into account the opt-out reduction described above)  will continue to reduce for Income Withdrawals and increase for Adjusted Purchase Payments, if  permitted, as described in the “Annual Income Amount” section of the Rider.    We cease to deduct a charge for the Rider after it terminates in accordance with the “Termination of  Benefits” section below unless a Death Benefit is payable. In the event this Rider terminates for any  reason other than death, we will deduct a final charge upon termination, based on the number of days  since the most recent charge for the Rider was deducted.    Facility of Payment: We reserve the right, in settlement of full liability, to make Benefit Payments to a  guardian, relative, or other person deemed eligible by us if a Designated Life payee is deemed to be  legally incompetent, as permitted by law.      Proof of Survival:  Any Benefit Payment is subject to evidence we receive in Good Order that the  Designated Life, or at least one of the Spousal Designated Lives is then alive.  We may withhold such  Benefit Payments until we receive such evidence or evidence satisfactory to us of the life of the  Designated Life or at least one of the Spousal Designated Lives.  We credit interest on such withheld  Benefit Payments at the rate required by law.  Should we subsequently determine withheld Benefit  Payments are payable, we will pay the withheld Benefit Payments and any applicable interest credited in  a lump sum.    Recovery of Excess Benefit Payments:  We may recover from you or your estate any Benefit  Payments made after the death of the Designated Life or the  Spousal Designated Life that would have  otherwise resulted in the termination of this Rider.    Termination of this Rider and its Benefits:  You may terminate this Rider at any time after the Elective  Termination Waiting Period shown in the Schedule Supplement, upon notification to us in Good Order.  Benefits pursuant to this Rider will terminate upon the first to occur of the following events:        (1) the date we receive your request for full surrender of the Annuity at our Service Office in Good          Order;              P-RID-LW(11/19)                            10 

 

   (2) the date we receive your elective termination of this Rider at our Service Office in Good Order;              (3) the date we receive Due Proof of Death of the Decedent if Income Withdrawals have not begun,         unless Spousal Continuation occurs;              (4) the date we receive Due Proof of Death of the Designated Life if Income Withdrawals have begun         on a Designated Life basis;          (5) the date we receive Due Proof of Death of the surviving Spousal Designated Life if the Rider was         spousally continued;              (6) the date we receive Due Proof of Death of an Owner who is not a Designated Life or Spousal         Designated Life;                      (7) the date we process a request to change any designation of the Annuity that either results in a         violation of the “Owner, Annuitant and Beneficiary Designations” section of this Rider or the         Annuity, or is a change that is not permitted under our rules then in effect;            (8) the date you first allocate or transfer any portion of your Unadjusted Account Value to any         Investment Options to which you are not permitted at the time of the allocation or transfer;              (9) the date any portion of your Unadjusted Account Value is transferred to begin annuity payments;              (10) the date each of the Unadjusted Account Value and the Income Base is zero;                  (11) the date of death of the Designated Life if it occurs after Benefit Payments have begun on a         Designated Life basis;               (12) the date of death of the last surviving Spousal Designated Life if it occurs after Benefit Payments         have begun on a Spousal Designated Life basis.
