  RILA280 12  CONTRACT OPTION PROVISIONS    The Contract contains two (2) types of Contract Options: Fixed Account and Index Account.    Upon Good Order, all Premium will be allocated to the Contract Options as elected on the  application. The Company reserves the right to restrict or prohibit allocation of Premium to the  Fixed Account at its discretion, on a non-discriminatory basis, at any time. No Premium will be  accepted after the Issue Date.    TRANSFERS.    Transfers may only occur on the Contract Anniversary, when transferring out of the Fixed  Account, and on the Index Account Option Term Anniversary when transferring out of an Index  Account Option. When the Contract Anniversary or Index Account Option Term Anniversary  occurs on a non-Business Day, the transfer will be effective on the following Business Day using  the following Business Day's values. You will receive notice thirty (30) days prior to the Index  Account Option Term Anniversary. The notice will include information on the Contract Options  available to You. You may request a transfer to or from the Fixed Account and to or from the  Index Account Options. You may also request transfers among the available Index Account  Options within the Index Account. A request for a transfer must be received in Good Order prior  to the Index Account Option Term Anniversary. If no transfer request is received on or prior to the  Index Account Option Term Anniversary, the Fixed Account value will remain in the Fixed  Account and the Index Account Option value(s) will be reallocated to the same Index Account  Option(s) for the same term, Crediting Method and Index, if available.     If the Crediting Method, or Index is no longer available as of the Index Account Option Term  Anniversary, the Index Account Option value(s) will be reallocated to the Fixed Account until  further instruction is received.     If You do not select an Index Account Option term within thirty (30) days prior to the end of the  expired Index Account Option term:  1. if the same Index Account Option term is available at the time and does not extend beyond  the Income Date, the Company will renew the Index Account Option into the same Index  Account Option term.  2. if the same Index Account Option term is available at the time but extends beyond the Income  Date, the Company will select the available Index Account Option term that ends closest to  but before the Income Date.  3. if the same Index Account Option term is not available at the time but would not extend  beyond the Income Date were it available, the Company will select the available Index  Account Option term with the period closest to but less than the Index Account Option term  that just ended.    Unless specified otherwise, transfers will be taken from the Index Account Options and the Fixed  Account in proportion to their current value. The Company reserves the right, to restrict or prohibit  transfers from the Index Account Option to the Fixed Account, at its discretion, on a  nondiscriminatory basis, at any time.  

 

  RILA280 13  CONTRACT OPTION PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    Transfers from a Fixed Account will reduce the Fixed Account value by the transfer amount  requested. Transfers into a Fixed Account will increase the Fixed Account value by the transfer  amount requested. Transfers from an Index Account Option will reduce the Index Account  Option value by the transfer amount requested. Transfers into an Index Account Option will  increase the Index Account Option value by the transfer amount requested.    Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is an annually renewable fixed account. The Company will  credit interest to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account. Such interest will be credited at such  rate(s) as the Company prospectively declares on a periodic basis, at the sole discretion of the  Company. On each Contract Anniversary the interest rate for the Fixed Account is subject to  change. In no event will the interest rate credited by the Company to the Fixed Account be less  than the FAMIR, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, per annum.    Index Account Option. An option within the Index Account for allocation of Contract Value,  defined by term, Index, and Crediting Method. The terms, Indexes, and Crediting Methods  available as of the Issue Date are shown on the Supplemental Contract Data Pages. Availability  of terms, Indexes, and Crediting Methods are subject to change at the sole discretion of the  Company on a non-discriminatory basis.    Fixed Account Value. The Fixed Account value is equal to (1) the value of Premium and any  amounts transferred into the Fixed Account; (2) plus interest credited daily at a rate not less  than the FAMIR, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, per annum; (3) less any gross partial  withdrawals, including any Withdrawal Charges on such withdrawals; (4) less any amounts  transferred out of the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Value will never be less than the  FAMV.    Index Account Value. The Index Account value is equal to the sum of the Index Account  Option values.    The Index Account Option value at the beginning of the Index Account Option term is equal to  the amount allocated or transferred to the Index Account Option less the amount transferred out  of the Index Account Option.    During the Index Account Option term, the Index Account Option value is equal to the Interim  Value, which is the greater of the Index Account Option value at the beginning of the term  reduced for any partial withdrawals from the Index Account Option during the Index Account  Option term, including any Withdrawal Charges, in the same proportion as the Interim Value  was reduced on the date of the withdrawal, plus the prorated Index Adjustment subject to  prorated Index Adjustment Factors and the IVPF, or zero. Additional detail on Index Adjustment  Factors can be found in the Crediting Method endorsements and Supplemental Contract Data  Pages.    On the Index Account Option Term Anniversary, the Index Account Option value is equal to the  greater of the Index Account Option value at the beginning of the Index Account Option term,  reduced for any partial withdrawals from the Index Account Option during the Index Account  Option term, including any Withdrawal Charges, in the same proportion as the Interim Value  was reduced on the date of the withdrawal, plus the Index Adjustment subject to Index  Adjustment Factors, or zero. Additional detail on Index Adjustment Factors can be found in the  Crediting Method endorsements and Supplemental Contract Data Pages.  

 

  RILA280 14  WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS    On or before the Income Date, You may request a total or partial withdrawal of the Contract  Value by submitting a request to the Company's Service Center in a form acceptable to the  Company.    The withdrawal will be processed after a withdrawal request is received at the Service Center in  Good Order. If a total withdrawal is requested, You must submit the Contract to the Service  Center with the withdrawal request.    TOTAL WITHDRAWAL. During the Withdrawal Charge Schedule, the Withdrawal Value for a  total withdrawal from the Contract is equal to the Contract Value less any Withdrawal Charge.  After the expiration of the Withdrawal Charge Schedule, the Withdrawal Value for a total  withdrawal from the Contract is equal to Contract Value. A total withdrawal terminates Your  Contract.    In no event will a total withdrawal from the Fixed Account be less than the FAMV.    No withdrawal may exceed the Withdrawal Value.    PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL. Any partial withdrawal may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge. At  least the Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the  Contract Data Pages, must remain after any partial withdrawal. Unless You request otherwise, a  gross partial withdrawal will be deducted from the Fixed Account and the Index Account  Option(s) in proportion to their current values. The gross partial withdrawal will be reduced for  any applicable Withdrawal Charge.     If the gross amount of the partial withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value below the  Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data  Pages, the Company will treat the withdrawal request as a total withdrawal and the Withdrawal  Value will be paid.    The amount payable as a result of the partial withdrawal will be determined at the end of the  Business Day on which the Company receives Your request for withdrawal in Good Order at the  Company's Service Center.     Partial Withdrawals will reduce each Index Account Option's value at the beginning of the term  in the same proportion that its Interim Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal.    QUALIFIED PLAN CONTRACT REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. Qualified Plan  Contract RMDs are based upon Your Contract Value, and applicable federal tax law  requirements. You may request a withdrawal for an RMD by submitting a written request to the  Service Center on a Company provided form.  

 

  RILA280 15  WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    The Company will waive any Withdrawal Charge if the gross amount withdrawn does not  exceed the Contract's RMD amount. However, if a gross withdrawal amount is greater than the  Contract's RMD amount, the excess amount of the gross partial withdrawal is subject to a  Withdrawal Charge.    AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL. You may elect to take an automatic withdrawal by withdrawing a  specific sum or a certain percentage of the Contract Value on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual  or annual basis, subject to the Minimum Partial Withdrawal amount made as a scheduled part of  an automatic withdrawal program, as shown on the Contract Data Pages. Automatic  withdrawals are treated as partial withdrawals and will be counted in determining the amount  taken as a Free Withdrawal in any Contract Year. Automatic withdrawals in excess of the Free  Withdrawal amount may be subject to Withdrawal Charges. If an automatic withdrawal causes  the Withdrawal Value to fall to zero, future automatic withdrawals will terminate. If the automatic  withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value below the Minimum Contract Value remaining after  a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, the Company will treat the  automatic withdrawal as a total withdrawal and the Withdrawal Value will be paid.    WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. The Company may impose a Withdrawal Charge against certain  withdrawals from the Contract. The Company will calculate Withdrawal Charges in accordance  with the Withdrawal Charge Schedule shown on the Contract Data Pages.    For purposes of determining the Withdrawal Charge, the Contract Value is divided into earnings  and Remaining Premium, as defined in the Contract. Earnings are not subject to a Withdrawal  Charge. For the sole purpose of determining the amount of the Withdrawal Charge, earnings  are defined as any excess of the Contract Value over Remaining Premium.     Remaining Premium is defined as the total Premium paid into the Contract less withdrawals of  Premium, before the withdrawal is adjusted for any charges.    The Withdrawal Charge is equal to the applicable Withdrawal Charge Percentage applied to the  gross amount of Remaining Premium withdrawn (not the net amount of Remaining Premium  received by You), excluding any amount for which the Contract expressly provides for a waived,  or no, Withdrawal Charge. In the event of a total withdrawal, the applicable Withdrawal Charge  Percentage is applied to the full value of Remaining Premium immediately prior to the  withdrawal, less any Free Withdrawal available at the time of the total withdrawal. The  Withdrawal Charge reduces Remaining Premium and Contract Value. The Withdrawal Charge  will be taken from the Contract Options in the same proportion as the requested withdrawal.    Withdrawals will be allocated first to earnings (which may be withdrawn free of any Withdrawal  Charge), if any, and second to Remaining Premium.    Any portion of the Withdrawal Charge that would reduce the Fixed Account Value below the  FAMV will be waived.  

 

  RILA280 16  WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    FREE WITHDRAWAL. During each Contract Year, You may make partial withdrawals from the  Contract without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. The amount of Free Withdrawal available in  any Contract Year is equal to the greater of:  1. the Free Withdrawal Percentage, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, multiplied by the  Contract Value that is subject to a Withdrawal Charge at the beginning of the Contract Year  according to the Withdrawal Charge Schedule shown on the Contract Data Pages; less  earnings, as defined in the Withdrawal Charge provision of this Contract; or   2. zero    The Free Withdrawal can be taken as a single withdrawal or multiple withdrawals throughout the  Contract Year. The amount of Your Free Withdrawal available will vary throughout the Contract  Year depending on previous withdrawals of Your Free Withdrawal amount, previous withdrawals  of earnings, and the amount of earnings present at the time of the withdrawal. The amount of  Your Free Withdrawal available will reduce due to withdrawals during the Contract Year.    Any amount withdrawn to satisfy an RMD may reduce the amount of Your Free Withdrawal  available.    No Free Withdrawal may exceed the Withdrawal Value.    Amounts withdrawn under the Free Withdrawal provision reduce the Contract Value and may  reduce Remaining Premium. Withdrawals during the Contract Year in excess of the Free  Withdrawal may be subject to any applicable Withdrawal Charges.    WAIVER OF WITHDRAWAL CHARGE DUE TO TERMINAL ILLNESS.    If You are diagnosed with a terminal illness on or after the Issue Date shown on the Contract  Data Pages, the Company will waive the Withdrawal Charge on the amount You withdraw from  the Contract, up to the Waiver of Withdrawal Charge Due to Terminal Illness maximum amount  shown on the Contract Data Pages. Upon Your compliance with the Claim Requirements  described below, You will be eligible for this waiver on or after the Eligibility Date shown on the  Contract Data Pages. All other Contract values will be reduced proportionately for the amount  withdrawn.     The Company will allocate the withdrawal amount to each Contract Option according to the  method described in the Withdrawal Provisions. The Company will determine values at the end  of the Business Day on which the Company receives the request for withdrawal in Good Order  at the Company's Service Center. Withdrawals under this provision may reduce Remaining  Premium.    This Waiver of Withdrawal Charge Due to Terminal Illness is available only once, no matter the  amount withdrawn or in the circumstances of multiple medical conditions and/or Joint Owners.

  RILA280 20  DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS    NATURAL OWNER'S DEATH BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Upon Your death or the death of  any Joint Owner, before the Income Date, the Company will pay the death benefit to the  Beneficiary(ies) designated by You.    Upon the death of the first Joint Owner, the surviving Joint Owner will become the Primary  Beneficiary and will receive the death benefit payable. Any other Beneficiary designation on  record at the Company's Service Center at the time of the first Joint Owner's death will be  treated as a Contingent Beneficiary.    ANNUITANT'S DEATH BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of an Annuitant who is  not an Owner before the Income Date, the Contract remains in force and the Owner becomes  the Annuitant. The Owner may designate a new Annuitant, subject to the Company's  administrative rules then in effect. No death benefit is payable on the death of an Annuitant who  is not also an Owner.     If the Contract is owned by a legal entity, upon the death of the Annuitant, (in the case of Joint  Annuitants, upon the death of the first Annuitant) the Company will pay the death benefit to the  Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Owner, or, if no Beneficiary(ies) survive the applicable death,  to the Owner.     DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. The death benefit amount before  the Income Date is equal to the greater of:  1. the current Contract Value; or  2. Premiums paid into the Contract, less any applicable taxes, adjusted for any withdrawals  (including any applicable charges and adjustments for such withdrawals) incurred since the  issuance of the Contract. All adjustments will occur at the time of the withdrawal. All  adjustments for amounts withdrawn will reduce this item in the same proportion that the  Contract Value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal.    DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Unless You  designated a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option, a Beneficiary entitled to the death benefit  before the Income Date must request that the Company pay the death benefit according to one  of the death benefit options below:    Option 1 - single lump-sum payment;  Option 2 - payment of the entire death benefit distributed within five (5) years of the date of the  relevant death; or  Option 3 - Income Payments of the death benefit with distributions beginning within one (1) year  of the date of the relevant death:  (i) over the lifetime of the Beneficiary; or  (ii) over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary.    The Company may make available other death benefit payment options.    A Beneficiary that wishes to elect payment under Option 3 must do so no later than sixty (60)  days from the date the Company receives Due Proof of death in Good Order at the Company's  Service Center. 

 

  RILA280 21   DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Option 3 must be paid within five (5) years  from Your death. The death benefit will remain invested in accordance with the allocation  selected by You until a payout option is selected or the Beneficiary specifies otherwise.    DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS. For Qualified Plans, the  death benefit payment options may be limited under the terms of the plan endorsement in order  to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code.     BENEFICIARY'S ENTITLEMENT TO DEATH BENEFIT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. The  Company will pay the death benefit to Primary Beneficiaries or, if none exist, to Contingent  Beneficiaries, in equal shares (the "default allocation") unless You have designated otherwise  (the "designated allocation"). A Beneficiary that dies before or within ten (10) days (or different  period as prescribed by applicable law) of Your death is not entitled to any death benefit. In that  circumstance, the Company will pay the deceased Beneficiary's share of the death benefit to  surviving Beneficiaries in the same proportion as the designated allocation or, if applicable, the  default allocation. If no Beneficiary survives You, the Company will pay the death benefit to Your  estate.    PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT. The Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary  upon receipt of a request for payment with Due Proof of the relevant death in Good Order at the  Company's Service Center. If the Company has received Due Proof of death, the Company will  calculate the share of the death benefit due to a Beneficiary using Contract values established  at the end of the Business Day on the date the Company receives a claim form with a payment  option elected from that Beneficiary. If the Company has not received Due Proof of death or any  other required documentation, the Company will calculate the share of the death benefit due to  a Beneficiary using Contract values established at the end of the Business Day on the date the  Company receives any remaining required documentation. The Index Adjustments may cause  the calculation of a Beneficiary's death benefit share to differ from the calculation of another  Beneficiary's death benefit share. The Company will pay interest on a Beneficiary's death  benefit share as required by law.     Each Beneficiary entitled to the death benefit bears the investment risk associated with amounts  allocated to any Index Account Option until the Company calculates their share of the death  benefit.    If any death benefit is due to an Owner's estate, the Company will pay the benefit in a single  lump-sum payment.     If a single lump-sum payment is elected, the Contract will remain in force and will accrue  interest, at current rate(s) based on the Contract's current Crediting Method/Index combinations,  until the Company first receives Due Proof of death in Good Order. After that time, the rate of  interest will equal the rate of interest applicable to death benefit left on deposit with the  Company on the date of Your death.    The Company will pay the death benefit in accordance with applicable laws and regulations  governing death benefit payments and in accordance with the Company's administrative  procedures.  

 

  RILA280 22   DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    Spousal Continuation Option Instead of Death Benefit. Unless the Contract is subject to a  Pre-selected Death Benefit Option, a spouse who is a Joint Owner or Beneficiary of the  deceased Owner may elect to continue the Contract in his or her own name at an adjusted  Contract Value as described below and exercise the Owner's rights under the Contract instead  of taking the standard death benefit.    For purposes of the Spousal Continuation Option, the "continuation date" is the date on which  the Company receives the spouse's written request to elect the Spousal Continuation Option  and Due Proof of the relevant death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center.    If the Contract Value on the continuation date is less than the death benefit, an amount will be  added to the Contract Value to make up the difference. This amount is referred to as the  continuation adjustment. The Company will allocate the continuation adjustment to the Fixed  Account. The continuation adjustment will have no effect on the FAMV. Withdrawal Charges will  continue with the same schedule as prior to the original Owner's death. However, no Withdrawal  Charge will apply to the continuation adjustment.    For purposes of determining the future death benefits for the surviving spouse under the  continuing Contract, the Contract Value following the application of any continuation adjustment  will be considered the initial Premium of the continuing Contract.    The Spousal Continuation Option is void in the event the original Contract Owner is no longer  the Contract Owner or in the event the Contract has been assigned. The Spousal Continuation  Option may be exercised only once and may not be available if You designated a Pre-selected  Death Benefit Option.    Pre-selected Death Benefit Option. Before the Income Date, You may designate the option  according to which the Company will pay the death benefit from the death benefit payment  options described in the Contract, or other death benefit options made available by the  Company. You may do so by submitting a designation in a form acceptable to the Company in  Good Order to the Company's Service Center. Pre-selected Death Benefit Options are effective  only after being recorded by the Company. The Company will pay the death benefit consistent  with Your Pre-selected Death Benefit Option unless the Internal Revenue Code requires  otherwise, or Your election requires payment over a period that exceeds the Beneficiary's life  expectancy as determined by the Company.    Only You may revoke or change a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option. To do so, You must  submit a request in a form acceptable to the Company to the Company's Service Center.  Revocations of and changes to a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option are effective only after  being recorded by the Company.  

 

  RILA280 23  INCOME PROVISIONS    INCOME DATE. Income Payments begin on the Income Date. If You do not select an Income  Date, the Income Date is the LID. You may change the Income Date to any date that is not later  than the LID by submitting Written Notice in Good Order to the Company's Service Center at  least seven (7) days before the Income Date.    INCOME PAYMENT. On or before the Income Date, You may elect payment in a single lump- sum. A single lump-sum payment is considered a total withdrawal and terminates the Contract.  The Company will make payment to You or another payee You specify. Alternatively, You may  elect an Income Option to begin on the Income Date. The Company will apply the Contract  Value, less applicable taxes, to provide You income according to Your selected Income Option.  Withdrawal Charges will apply if Income Payments begin within one (1) year of the Issue Date.     INCOME OPTIONS. You may elect payment as provided in Options 1, 2, 3, or 4 below. You  may elect an Income Option up to thirty (30) days before the Income Date by submitting Written  Notice in Good Order to the Company's Service Center. The Company will make payment to  You or another payee You specify.    If You do not select an Income Option the Company will make payments as provided in Option 3  below, with 120 months certain. The Company will make payments monthly, quarterly,  semiannually or annually as You elect. However, if the Contract Value on the Income Date is  less than $2,000, the Company may pay out the Contract Value in one (1) lump-sum payment  instead of providing Income Payments according to the Income Option You elect. If the first  monthly payment provided would be less than $20, the Company may make payments  quarterly, semiannually or annually to achieve an initial payment of at least $20, or the  Company may pay out the Contract Value in one (1) single lump-sum payment.    At the time of their commencement, Income Payments will not be less than those that would be  provided by the application of an equivalent amount to purchase a single premium immediate  annuity contract from the Company at purchase rates the Company offered on the Income Date  to annuitants in the same class as the Annuitant.    YOU MAY NOT TAKE WITHDRAWALS DURING ANY PERIOD THE COMPANY IS MAKING  PAYMENTS FOR AN ANNUITANT'S LIFETIME.    OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME. A monthly payment for the Annuitant's lifetime. All payments end  upon the Annuitant's death. However, in the event of the Annuitant's death before the first  monthly payment, the Company will pay the amount allocated to this Income Option to You or, if  You are deceased, to Your Beneficiary.    OPTION 2 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR INCOME. A monthly payment for the longer of the  Annuitant's lifetime or that of a second person You designate. Upon the occasion of the first  person to die, monthly payments continue during the survivor's lifetime at either the full amount  previously payable or as a percentage (either one-half or two-thirds) of the full amount, as You  select at the time You elect the Income Option.    All payments end upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant. However, in the event of the  deaths of the Annuitant and the designated second person before the first monthly payment, the  Company will pay the amount allocated to this Income Option to You or, if You are deceased,  Your Beneficiary.   

 

  RILA280 24  INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    OPTION 3 - LIFE INCOME WITH 120 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED. A  monthly payment for the Annuitant's lifetime with the guarantee that the Company will make no  fewer than 120 or 240 monthly payments to You. If the Owner is an entity, at the Annuitant's  death, if fewer than the guaranteed number of payments have been made, the remaining  guaranteed payments will be made to the Owner as previously scheduled. If the Owner is the  Annuitant, in the event You die before the Company makes the specified number of guaranteed  payments, Your Beneficiary may elect to continue to receive the Income Payments according to  the terms of this Contract, or alternatively may elect to receive the present value of any  remaining guaranteed payments in a single lump-sum payment. The present value of any  remaining guaranteed payments will be based on the total Income Payments as of the date of  the calculation. The Company will determine the interest rate used in this present value  calculation, but in no instance will it be greater than (one) 1 percentage point higher than the  rate used to calculate the initial Income Payment.     OPTION 4 - INCOME FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD. A monthly payment for any whole number  of years ranging from 5 to 30. In the event You die before the Company makes the specified  number of payments, Your Beneficiary may elect to continue to receive the Income Payments  according to the terms of this Contract, or alternatively may elect to receive the present value of  any remaining guaranteed payments in a single lump-sum payment. The present value of any  remaining guaranteed payments will be based on the total Income Payments as of the date of  the calculation. The Company will determine the interest rate used in this present value  calculation, but in no instance will it be greater than (one) 1 percentage point higher than the  rate used to calculate the initial Income Payment.     ADDITIONAL INCOME OPTIONS. The Company may make available other Income Options.    DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT AFTER THE INCOME DATE. If the Income Date precedes the  Latest Income Date, upon any Owner's death, any remaining Income Payments will be paid in  accordance with the Income Options of this Contract and will be paid at least as rapidly as the  payment method in effect as of the Owner's death.     If the Income Date is the LID, the death benefit amount is equal to the greater of zero or:    1. Premium paid into the Contract, less any applicable taxes, adjusted for any withdrawals  (including any applicable charges and adjustments for such withdrawals) incurred since the  issuance of the Contract through the LID. All adjustments will occur at the time of the  withdrawal. All adjustments for amounts withdrawn will reduce this item in the same portion  that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal; less  2. the Contract Value on the LID.    OWNER'S DEATH AFTER THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of any Owner who is not also  an Annuitant after the Income Date, any remaining Income Payments due will continue at least  as rapidly as the payment method in effect as of the date of the Owner's death. Upon the death  of the last surviving Joint Owner after the Income Date, any remaining Income Payments will be  paid to the Beneficiary.    ANNUITANT'S DEATH AFTER THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of the Annuitant after the  Income Date, the death benefit, if any, will be as specified in the Income Option elected. Any  life-contingent Income Payments cease on the death of the Annuitant. 

 

  RILA280 25  INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    BENEFICIARY'S ENTITLEMENT TO INCOME PAYMENTS AFTER THE INCOME DATE.  Upon the death of any Owner, the Company will pay any remaining Income Payments due to  Primary Beneficiaries or, if none exist, to the Contingent Beneficiaries, in equal shares (the  "default allocation") unless You have designated otherwise (the "designated allocation"). A  Beneficiary that dies before or within ten (10) days (or different period as prescribed by  applicable law) of Your death is not entitled to remaining Income Payments due; in that  circumstance, the Company will pay any remaining Income Payments due the deceased  Beneficiary to surviving Beneficiaries in the same proportion as the designated allocation or, if  applicable, the default allocation. If no Beneficiary survives You, the Company will pay  remaining Income Payments to Your estate.  

 

  RILA280 26  TERMINATION PROVISIONS    This Contract terminates and all Contract benefits, will end on the earlier of:  1. the date You take a total withdrawal;  2. the date the Contract Value is reduced to zero for any reason, or;  3. the date upon which the Company receives Due Proof of Your (or any Joint Owner's) death  and all Beneficiaries' election of a death benefit payment option in Good Order at the  Company's Service Center, unless the Contract is continued by the spouse under the  Spousal Continuation Option.rila282contract

The Company reserves the right to restrict or prohibit allocation of Premium to the  Fixed Account at its discretion, on a non-discriminatory basis, at any time. No Premium will be  accepted after the Issue Date.    TRANSFERS.    Transfers may only occur on the Contract Anniversary, when transferring out of the Fixed  Account, and on the Index Account Option Term Anniversary when transferring out of an Index  Account Option. When the Contract Anniversary or Index Account Option Term Anniversary  occurs on a non-Business Day, the transfer will be effective on the following Business Day using  the following Business Day's values. You will receive notice thirty (30) days prior to the Index  Account Option Term Anniversary. The notice will include information on the Contract Options  available to You. You may request a transfer to or from the Fixed Account and to or from the  Index Account Options. You may also request transfers among the available Index Account  Options within the Index Account. A request for a transfer must be received in Good Order prior  to the Index Account Option Term Anniversary. If no transfer request is received on or prior to the  Index Account Option Term Anniversary, the Fixed Account value will remain in the Fixed  Account and the Index Account Option value(s) will be reallocated to the same Index Account  Option(s) for the same term, Crediting Method and Index, if available.     If the Crediting Method, or Index is no longer available as of the Index Account Option Term  Anniversary, the Index Account Option value(s) will be reallocated to the Fixed Account until  further instruction is received.     If You do not select an Index Account Option term within thirty (30) days prior to the end of the  expired Index Account Option term:  1. if the same Index Account Option term is available at the time and does not extend beyond  the Income Date, the Company will renew the Index Account Option into the same Index  Account Option term.  2. if the same Index Account Option term is available at the time but extends beyond the Income  Date, the Company will select the available Index Account Option term that ends closest to  but before the Income Date.  3. if the same Index Account Option term is not available at the time but would not extend  beyond the Income Date were it available, the Company will select the available Index  Account Option term with the period closest to but less than the Index Account Option term  that just ended.    Unless specified otherwise, transfers will be taken from the Index Account Options and the Fixed  Account in proportion to their current value. The Company reserves the right, to restrict or prohibit  transfers from the Index Account Option to the Fixed Account, at its discretion, on a  nondiscriminatory basis, at any time.  

 

  RILA282 13  CONTRACT OPTION PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    Transfers from a Fixed Account will reduce the Fixed Account value by the transfer amount  requested. Transfers into a Fixed Account will increase the Fixed Account value by the transfer  amount requested. Transfers from an Index Account Option will reduce the Index Account  Option value by the transfer amount requested. Transfers into an Index Account Option will  increase the Index Account Option value by the transfer amount requested.    Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is an annually renewable fixed account. The Company will  credit interest to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account. Such interest will be credited at such  rate(s) as the Company prospectively declares on a periodic basis, at the sole discretion of the  Company. On each Contract Anniversary the interest rate for the Fixed Account is subject to  change. In no event will the interest rate credited by the Company to the Fixed Account be less  than the FAMIR, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, per annum.    Index Account Option. An option within the Index Account for allocation of Contract Value,  defined by term, Index, and Crediting Method. The terms, Indexes, and Crediting Methods  available as of the Issue Date are shown on the Supplemental Contract Data Pages. Availability  of terms, Indexes, and Crediting Methods are subject to change at the sole discretion of the  Company on a non-discriminatory basis.    Fixed Account Value. The Fixed Account value is equal to (1) the value of Premium and any  amounts transferred into the Fixed Account; (2) plus interest credited daily at a rate not less  than the FAMIR, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, per annum; (3) less any gross partial  withdrawals, including any Withdrawal Charges on such withdrawals; (4) less any amounts  transferred out of the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Value will never be less than the  FAMV.    Index Account Value. The Index Account value is equal to the sum of the Index Account  Option values.    The Index Account Option value at the beginning of the Index Account Option term is equal to  the amount allocated or transferred to the Index Account Option less the amount transferred out  of the Index Account Option.    During the Index Account Option term, the Index Account Option value is equal to the Interim  Value, which is the greater of the Index Account Option value at the beginning of the term  reduced for any partial withdrawals from the Index Account Option during the Index Account  Option term, including any Withdrawal Charges, in the same proportion as the Interim Value  was reduced on the date of the withdrawal, plus the prorated Index Adjustment subject to  prorated Index Adjustment Factors and the IVPF, or zero. Additional detail on Index Adjustment  Factors can be found in the Crediting Method endorsements and Supplemental Contract Data  Pages.    On the Index Account Option Term Anniversary, the Index Account Option value is equal to the  greater of the Index Account Option value at the beginning of the Index Account Option term,  reduced for any partial withdrawals from the Index Account Option during the Index Account  Option term, including any Withdrawal Charges, in the same proportion as the Interim Value  was reduced on the date of the withdrawal, plus the Index Adjustment subject to Index  Adjustment Factors, or zero. Additional detail on Index Adjustment Factors can be found in the  Crediting Method endorsements and Supplemental Contract Data Pages.  

 

  RILA282 14  WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS    On or before the Income Date, You may request a total or partial withdrawal of the Contract  Value by submitting a request to the Company's Service Center in a form acceptable to the  Company.    The withdrawal will be processed after a withdrawal request is received at the Service Center in  Good Order. If a total withdrawal is requested, You must submit the Contract to the Service  Center with the withdrawal request.    TOTAL WITHDRAWAL. During the Withdrawal Charge Schedule, the Withdrawal Value for a  total withdrawal from the Contract is equal to the Contract Value less any Withdrawal Charge.  After the expiration of the Withdrawal Charge Schedule, the Withdrawal Value for a total  withdrawal from the Contract is equal to Contract Value. A total withdrawal terminates Your  Contract.    In no event will a total withdrawal from the Fixed Account be less than the FAMV.    No withdrawal may exceed the Withdrawal Value.    PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL. Any partial withdrawal may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge. At  least the Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the  Contract Data Pages, must remain after any partial withdrawal. Unless You request otherwise, a  gross partial withdrawal will be deducted from the Fixed Account and the Index Account  Option(s) in proportion to their current values. The gross partial withdrawal will be reduced for  any applicable Withdrawal Charge.     If the gross amount of the partial withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value below the  Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data  Pages, the Company will treat the withdrawal request as a total withdrawal and the Withdrawal  Value will be paid.    The amount payable as a result of the partial withdrawal will be determined at the end of the  Business Day on which the Company receives Your request for withdrawal in Good Order at the  Company's Service Center.     Partial Withdrawals will reduce each Index Account Option's value at the beginning of the term  in the same proportion that its Interim Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal.    QUALIFIED PLAN CONTRACT REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. Qualified Plan  Contract RMDs are based upon Your Contract Value, and applicable federal tax law  requirements. You may request a withdrawal for an RMD by submitting a written request to the  Service Center on a Company provided form.  

 

  RILA282 15  WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    The Company will waive any Withdrawal Charge if the gross amount withdrawn does not  exceed the Contract's RMD amount. However, if a gross withdrawal amount is greater than the  Contract's RMD amount, the excess amount of the gross partial withdrawal is subject to a  Withdrawal Charge.    AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL. You may elect to take an automatic withdrawal by withdrawing a  specific sum or a certain percentage of the Contract Value on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual  or annual basis, subject to the Minimum Partial Withdrawal amount made as a scheduled part of  an automatic withdrawal program, as shown on the Contract Data Pages. Automatic  withdrawals are treated as partial withdrawals and will be counted in determining the amount  taken as a Free Withdrawal in any Contract Year. Automatic withdrawals in excess of the Free  Withdrawal amount may be subject to Withdrawal Charges. If an automatic withdrawal causes  the Withdrawal Value to fall to zero, future automatic withdrawals will terminate. If the automatic  withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value below the Minimum Contract Value remaining after  a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, the Company will treat the  automatic withdrawal as a total withdrawal and the Withdrawal Value will be paid.    WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. The Company may impose a Withdrawal Charge against certain  withdrawals from the Contract. The Company will calculate Withdrawal Charges in accordance  with the Withdrawal Charge Schedule shown on the Contract Data Pages.    For purposes of determining the Withdrawal Charge, the Contract Value is divided into earnings  and Remaining Premium, as defined in the Contract. Earnings are not subject to a Withdrawal  Charge. For the sole purpose of determining the amount of the Withdrawal Charge, earnings  are defined as any excess of the Contract Value over Remaining Premium.     Remaining Premium is defined as the total Premium paid into the Contract less withdrawals of  Premium, before the withdrawal is adjusted for any charges.    The Withdrawal Charge is equal to the applicable Withdrawal Charge Percentage applied to the  gross amount of Remaining Premium withdrawn (not the net amount of Remaining Premium  received by You), excluding any amount for which the Contract expressly provides for a waived,  or no, Withdrawal Charge. In the event of a total withdrawal, the applicable Withdrawal Charge  Percentage is applied to the full value of Remaining Premium immediately prior to the  withdrawal, less any Free Withdrawal available at the time of the total withdrawal. The  Withdrawal Charge reduces Remaining Premium and Contract Value. The Withdrawal Charge  will be taken from the Contract Options in the same proportion as the requested withdrawal.    Withdrawals will be allocated first to earnings (which may be withdrawn free of any Withdrawal  Charge), if any, and second to Remaining Premium.    Any portion of the Withdrawal Charge that would reduce the Fixed Account Value below the  FAMV will be waived.  

 

  RILA282 16  WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    FREE WITHDRAWAL. During each Contract Year, You may make partial withdrawals from the  Contract without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. The amount of Free Withdrawal available in  any Contract Year is equal to the greater of:  1. the Free Withdrawal Percentage, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, multiplied by the  Contract Value that is subject to a Withdrawal Charge at the beginning of the Contract Year  according to the Withdrawal Charge Schedule shown on the Contract Data Pages; less  earnings, as defined in the Withdrawal Charge provision of this Contract; or   2. zero    The Free Withdrawal can be taken as a single withdrawal or multiple withdrawals throughout the  Contract Year. The amount of Your Free Withdrawal available will vary throughout the Contract  Year depending on previous withdrawals of Your Free Withdrawal amount, previous withdrawals  of earnings, and the amount of earnings present at the time of the withdrawal. The amount of  Your Free Withdrawal available will reduce due to withdrawals during the Contract Year.    Any amount withdrawn to satisfy an RMD may reduce the amount of Your Free Withdrawal  available.    No Free Withdrawal may exceed the Withdrawal Value.    Amounts withdrawn under the Free Withdrawal provision reduce the Contract Value and may  reduce Remaining Premium. Withdrawals during the Contract Year in excess of the Free  Withdrawal may be subject to any applicable Withdrawal Charges.    WAIVER OF WITHDRAWAL CHARGE DUE TO TERMINAL ILLNESS.    If You are diagnosed with a terminal illness on or after the Issue Date shown on the Contract  Data Pages, the Company will waive the Withdrawal Charge on the amount You withdraw from  the Contract, up to the Waiver of Withdrawal Charge Due to Terminal Illness maximum amount  shown on the Contract Data Pages. Upon Your compliance with the Claim Requirements  described below, You will be eligible for this waiver on or after the Eligibility Date shown on the  Contract Data Pages. All other Contract values will be reduced proportionately for the amount  withdrawn.     The Company will allocate the withdrawal amount to each Contract Option according to the  method described in the Withdrawal Provisions. The Company will determine values at the end  of the Business Day on which the Company receives the request for withdrawal in Good Order  at the Company's Service Center. Withdrawals under this provision may reduce Remaining  Premium.    This Waiver of Withdrawal Charge Due to Terminal Illness is available only once, no matter the  amount withdrawn or in the circumstances of multiple medical conditions and/or Joint Owners.

  RILA282 20  DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS    NATURAL OWNER'S DEATH BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Upon Your death or the death of  any Joint Owner, before the Income Date, the Company will pay the death benefit to the  Beneficiary(ies) designated by You.     Upon the death of the first Joint Owner, the surviving Joint Owner will become the Primary  Beneficiary and will receive the death benefit payable. Any other Beneficiary designation on  record at the Company's Service Center at the time of the first Joint Owner's death will be  treated as a Contingent Beneficiary.    ANNUITANT'S DEATH BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of an Annuitant who is  not an Owner before the Income Date, the Contract remains in force and the Owner becomes  the Annuitant. The Owner may designate a new Annuitant, subject to the Company's  administrative rules then in effect. No death benefit is payable on the death of an Annuitant who  is not also an Owner.     If the Contract is owned by a legal entity, upon the death of the Annuitant, (in the case of Joint  Annuitants, upon the death of the first Annuitant) the Company will pay the death benefit to the  Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Owner, or, if no Beneficiary(ies) survive the applicable death,  to the Owner.     DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. The death benefit amount before  the Income Date is equal to the current Contract Value.    DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Unless You  designated a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option, a Beneficiary entitled to the death benefit  before the Income Date must request that the Company pay the death benefit according to one  of the death benefit options below:    Option 1 - single lump-sum payment;  Option 2 - payment of the entire death benefit distributed within five (5) years of the date of the  relevant death; or  Option 3 - Income Payments of the death benefit with distributions beginning within one (1) year  of the date of the relevant death:  (i) over the lifetime of the Beneficiary; or  (ii) over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary.    The Company may make available other death benefit payment options.    A Beneficiary that wishes to elect payment under Option 3 must do so no later than sixty (60)  days from the date the Company receives Due Proof of death in Good Order at the Company's  Service Center. 

 

  RILA282 21   DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Option 3 must be paid within five (5) years  from Your death. The death benefit will remain invested in accordance with the allocation  selected by You until a payout option is selected or the Beneficiary specifies otherwise.    DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR QUALIFIED PLANS. For Qualified Plans, the  death benefit payment options may be limited under the terms of the plan endorsement in order  to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code.     BENEFICIARY'S ENTITLEMENT TO DEATH BENEFIT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. The  Company will pay the death benefit to Primary Beneficiaries or, if none exist, to Contingent  Beneficiaries, in equal shares (the "default allocation") unless You have designated otherwise  (the "designated allocation"). A Beneficiary that dies before or within ten (10) days (or different  period as prescribed by applicable law) of Your death is not entitled to any death benefit. In that  circumstance, the Company will pay the deceased Beneficiary's share of the death benefit to  surviving Beneficiaries in the same proportion as the designated allocation or, if applicable, the  default allocation. If no Beneficiary survives You, the Company will pay the death benefit to Your  estate.    PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT. The Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary  upon receipt of a request for payment with Due Proof of the relevant death in Good Order at the  Company's Service Center. If the Company has received Due Proof of death, the Company will  calculate the share of the death benefit due to a Beneficiary using Contract values established  at the end of the Business Day on the date the Company receives a claim form with a payment  option elected from that Beneficiary. If the Company has not received Due Proof of death or any  other required documentation, the Company will calculate the share of the death benefit due to  a Beneficiary using Contract values established at the end of the Business Day on the date the  Company receives any remaining required documentation. The Index Adjustments may cause  the calculation of a Beneficiary's death benefit share to differ from the calculation of another  Beneficiary's death benefit share. The Company will pay interest on a Beneficiary's death  benefit share as required by law.     Each Beneficiary entitled to the death benefit bears the investment risk associated with amounts  allocated to any Index Account Option until the Company calculates their share of the death  benefit.    If any death benefit is due to an Owner's estate, the Company will pay the benefit in a single  lump-sum payment.     If a single lump-sum payment is elected, the Contract will remain in force and will accrue  interest, at current rate(s) based on the Contract's current Crediting Method/Index combinations,  until the Company first receives Due Proof of death in Good Order. After that time, the rate of  interest will equal the rate of interest applicable to death benefit left on deposit with the  Company on the date of Your death.    The Company will pay the death benefit in accordance with applicable laws and regulations  governing death benefit payments and in accordance with the Company's administrative  procedures.  

 

  RILA282 22   DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D)    Spousal Continuation Option Instead of Death Benefit. Unless the Contract is subject to a  Pre-selected Death Benefit Option, a spouse who is a Joint Owner or Beneficiary of the  deceased Owner may elect to continue the Contract in his or her own name as described below  and exercise the Owner's rights under the Contract instead of taking the standard death benefit.    For purposes of the Spousal Continuation Option, the "continuation date" is the date on which  the Company receives the spouse's written request to elect the Spousal Continuation Option  and Due Proof of the relevant death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center.    The Spousal Continuation Option is void in the event the original Contract Owner is no longer  the Contract Owner or in the event the Contract has been assigned. The Spousal Continuation  Option may be exercised only once and may not be available if You designated a Pre-selected  Death Benefit Option.    Pre-selected Death Benefit Option. Before the Income Date, You may designate the option  according to which the Company will pay the death benefit from the death benefit payment  options described in the Contract, or other death benefit options made available by the  Company. You may do so by submitting a designation in a form acceptable to the Company in  Good Order to the Company's Service Center. Pre-selected Death Benefit Options are effective  only after being recorded by the Company. The Company will pay the death benefit consistent  with Your Pre-selected Death Benefit Option unless the Internal Revenue Code requires  otherwise, or Your election requires payment over a period that exceeds the Beneficiary's life  expectancy as determined by the Company.    Only You may revoke or change a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option. To do so, You must  submit a request in a form acceptable to the Company to the Company's Service Center.  Revocations of and changes to a Pre-selected Death Benefit Option are effective only after  being recorded by the Company.

If the Owner is the  Annuitant, in the event You die before the Company makes the specified number of guaranteed  payments, Your Beneficiary may elect to continue to receive the Income Payments according to  the terms of this Contract, or alternatively may elect to receive the present value of any  remaining guaranteed payments in a single lump-sum payment. The present value of any  remaining guaranteed payments will be based on the total Income Payments as of the date of  the calculation.
