                      ANNUAL STEP-UP DEATH BENEFIT RIDER

This rider is added to the Contract. It provides for an optional death benefit.

Annual Step-Up Death Benefit

While this rider is in effect, we will pay a death benefit equal to the
greatest of (a), (b), and (c), as of the first Valuation Day we receive due
proof of death of an Annuitant and all required forms at our Home Office, where:

   (a) is the Death Benefit provided for under the Death Provisions section in
       the Contract;

   (b) is the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit described below; and

   (c) is a death benefit provided by an optional rider.

The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit on the Contract Date is the initial Purchase
Payment. We will reset the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit on each Contract
anniversary up to and including the later of (i) the [fifth] Contract
anniversary and (ii) the first Contract anniversary on or after the [80th]
birthday of the oldest Annuitant. We will also reset the Annual Step-Up Death
Benefit on the first Valuation Day we receive due proof of death and all
required forms at our Home Office. At each reset date, the Annual Step-Up Death
Benefit equals the greater of (a) and (b), where:

   (a) is the Contract Value; and

   (b) is the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit on the last reset date plus Purchase
       Payments made since the last reset date, adjusted for any withdrawals
       since the last reset date.

The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit will not reset after the first Contract
Anniversary on or after the [80th] birthday of the oldest Annuitant.

Annual Step-Up Death Benefit adjustment for withdrawals:

Withdrawals reduce the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit proportionally by the same
percentage that the withdrawal, including all surrender charges and premium
taxes paid, reduces the Contract Value.

Rider Charge

There will be a charge made for this rider, as shown on the Contract Data
Pages, while it is in effect. The charge will be calculated and deducted in
arrears. The charge is calculated [quarterly] as a percentage of the value of
the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit on the last reset date, plus Purchase Payments
made since the last reset date adjusted for any withdrawals since the last
reset date, and deducted [quarterly] from the Contract Value. If a spouse is
added as a Joint Annuitant after the Contract is issued, a new charge for the
rider may apply. This new charge may be higher than the charge previously
applied for this rider. On the day the rider and/or the Contract terminates,
the charge for this rider will be calculated, prorata, and deducted.

The charge for this rider will be deducted from the Contract Value
proportionately across the Subaccounts and Guarantee Account in which you are
invested.

When this Rider is Effective

The effective date of this rider is the Contract Date unless another effective
date is shown on the Contract Data Pages. This rider may not be terminated
prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. When Income Payments begin, this rider
and its corresponding charge will terminate. If the Contract is surrendered or
otherwise terminated, this rider will terminate. If the Contract is terminated
and later reinstated, this rider cannot be reinstated without our approval.

Resets of the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit will end on the first Valuation Day
the Contract Value equals zero. On this day, if your Contract has not
terminated, your Annual Step-Up Death Benefit will be the Annual Step-Up Death
Benefit on the last reset date plus Purchase Payments made since the last reset
date, adjusted for any withdrawals since the last reset date. The Annual
Step-Up Death Benefit will not reset after this day.

If a Joint Annuitant is added to the Contract after the date this rider is
issued, the calculation of benefits provided pursuant to this rider will be
determined based on the age of the Annuitant(s) on the date the Joint Annuitant
is added to the Contract.

Change of Ownership

In the event that the underlying Contract is assigned or sold, unless under a
court ordered assignment, this rider will terminate on such date of sale or
assignment.

Issue Age

This rider is only available if all Annuitants are age [75 or younger] on the
Contract Date.

Spousal Continuation

Upon the death of any Annuitant, if the designated beneficiary is a surviving
spouse who is an Annuitant and elects to continue the Contract, this rider will
continue.

Upon the death of any Annuitant, if the designated beneficiary is a surviving
spouse who is not an Annuitant, elects to continue the Contract and is age [75
or younger] on the date of the Annuitant's death, this rider will continue. The
charge for this rider may change. The charge for this rider and the calculation
of benefits provided pursuant to this rider when continued will be determined
based on the age of the surviving spouse on the date of the Annuitant's death.

                          ROLLUP DEATH BENEFIT RIDER

This rider is added to the Contract. It provides for an optional death benefit.

Rollup Death Benefit

While this rider is in effect, we will pay a death benefit equal to the
greatest of (a), (b), and (c), as of the first Valuation Day we receive due
proof of death of an Annuitant and all required forms at our Home Office, where:

   (a) is the Death Benefit provided for under the Death Provisions section in
       the Contract;

   (b) is the Rollup Death Benefit described below; and

   (c) is a death benefit provided by an optional rider.

The Rollup Death Benefit on the Contract Date is the initial Purchase Payment.
We will reset the Rollup Death Benefit at the end of each Valuation Period. At
the end of each Valuation Period after the Contract Date, the Rollup Death
Benefit is reset to the lesser of (a) and (b), where:

   (a) is 200% of Purchase Payments made; and

   (b) is the sum of (i) and (ii), multiplied by (iii), where:

      (i) is the Rollup Death Benefit at the end of the prior Valuation Period;

     (ii) is any Purchase Payment(s) made since the last Valuation Period; and

    (iii) is a daily interest factor, equivalent to the annual rollup and
          withdrawal factor as shown on the Contract Data Pages.

The Rollup Death Benefit will not reset after the first Contract Anniversary
after the [85th] birthday of the oldest Annuitant.

Rollup Death Benefit adjustment for withdrawals:

Withdrawals each Contract year, up to the annual rollup and withdrawal factor
as shown on the Contract Data Pages multiplied by Purchase Payments, calculated
at the time of the withdrawals, reduce the Rollup Death Benefit by the same
amount that the withdrawal, including all surrender charges and premium taxes
paid, reduces the Contract Value. In addition, if a withdrawal plus all prior
withdrawals made in any Contract year is greater than the annual rollup and
withdrawal factor shown on the Contract Data Pages multiplied by Purchase
Payments, we also will reduce the Rollup Death Benefit pro-rata for each dollar
that the withdrawal is in excess of the annual rollup and withdrawal factor
shown on the Contract Data Pages multiplied by Purchase Payments. We will
reduce the Rollup Death Benefit proportionally, for that excess withdrawal and
all future withdrawals until the next Contract anniversary, by the same
percentage that the withdrawal, including all surrender charges and premium
taxes paid, reduces the Contract Value.

Rider Charge

There will be a charge made for this rider, as shown on the Contract Data
Pages, while it is in effect. The charge will be calculated and deducted in
arrears. The charge is calculated [quarterly] as a percentage of the value of
the Rollup Death Benefit on that date and deducted [quarterly] from Contract
Value. If a spouse is added as Joint Annuitant after the Contract is issued, a
new charge for the rider may apply. This new charge may be higher than the
charge

previously applied for this rider. On the day the rider and/or the Contract
terminates, the charge for this rider will be calculated, prorata, and deducted.

The charge for this rider will be deducted from the Contract Value
proportionately across the Subaccounts and Guarantee Account in which you are
invested.

When this Rider is Effective

The effective date of this rider is the Contract Date unless another effective
date is shown on the Contract Data Pages. This rider may not be terminated
prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. When Income Payments begin, this rider
and its corresponding charge will terminate. If the Contract is surrendered or
otherwise terminated this rider will terminate. If the Contract is terminated
and later reinstated, this rider cannot be reinstated without our approval.

Resets of the Rollup Death Benefit will end on the first Valuation Day the
Contact Value equals zero. On this day, if your Contract has not terminated,
your Rollup Death Benefit will be the Rollup Death Benefit on the last reset
date, adjusted for any withdrawals since the last reset date. The Rollup Death
Benefit will not reset after this day.

If a Joint Annuitant is added to the Contract after the date this rider is
issued, the calculation of benefits provided pursuant to this rider will be
determined based on the age of the Annuitant(s) on the date the Joint Annuitant
is added to the Contract.

Change of Ownership

In the event that the underlying Contract is assigned or sold, unless under a
court ordered assignment, this rider will terminate on such date of sale or
assignment.

Issue Age

This rider is only available if all Annuitants are age [75 or younger] on the
Contract Date.

Spousal Continuation

Upon the death of any Annuitant, if the designated beneficiary is a surviving
spouse who is an Annuitant and elects to continue the Contract, this rider will
continue.

Upon the death of any Annuitant, if the designated beneficiary is a surviving
spouse who is not an Annuitant, this rider will not continue. The rider and the
rider charge will terminate.
