the Contract Schedule, the Certificate Holder may determine the
amount and frequency of Purchase Payments. We reserve the right
not to accept any Purchase Payment. We will declare from time to
time the acceptability of additional Purchase Payments.
5.02 Allocation of Purchase Payments - The Certificate Holder may
elect to have each Net Purchase Payment accumulate:
(a) On a variable basis invested in shares of one or more Funds
in which the Separate Account invests;
(b) For guaranteed terms offered in the current deposit period(s)
under the AG Account; or
(c) In a combination of any of the available investment options.
Net Purchase Payments must be allocated in whole percentages. For
subsequent Purchase Payments, if no allocation instructions are
received with the Purchase Payment, the allocation will be as
indicated in the most recent directive from the Certificate
Holder. If the same guaranteed term(s) are not available, the
next shortest will be used. If no shorter guaranteed term is
available, the next longer guaranteed term will be used.
Section 6. Separate Account
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.01 General - The assets of the Separate Account, equal to the
reserves and other Contract liabilities that depend on the
investment performance of the Separate Account are not chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business We may
conduct. Income, gains or losses of the Separate Account,
realized or unrealized, are credited to or charged against the
assets of the Separate Account without regard to Our other
income, gains or losses.
13
6.02 Investment Allocations to the Separate Account - The assets of
the Separate Account are segregated by Fund. If the shares of any
Fund are no longer available for investment by the Separate
Account or if in our judgment, further investment in such shares
should become inappropriate in view of the purpose of the
Contract, We may cease to make such Fund shares available for
investment under the Contract prospectively, or We may substitute
shares of another Fund for shares already acquired. We may also,
from time to time, add additional Funds. Any elimination,
substitution or addition of Funds will be done in accordance with
applicable state and federal securities laws. We reserve the
right to substitute shares of another Fund for shares already
acquired without a proxy vote.
6.03 Valuation of Assets - The shares of the Funds will be valued at
their net asset value at the end of each Valuation Period.
6.04 Accumulation Unit - A Net Purchase Payment that is allocated to
one or more Funds is credited to the Certificate Holder's Account
as Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units credited
is determined by dividing the applicable portion of the Net
Purchase Payment by the Accumulation Unit value for the
appropriate Fund. The Accumulation Unit value used is that which
is computed for the next Valuation Period after which the
Purchase Payment is received at our home office. Accumulation
Units attributable to the initial Purchase Payments will be
credited within two business days of acceptance.
Accumulation Unit values may increase or decrease from Valuation
Period to Valuation Period.
6.05 Net Return Factor for Each Valuation Period - The value of an
Accumulation Unit for any Valuation Period is calculated by
multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the immediately
preceding Valuation Period by the net return factor of the
appropriate Fund for the current period.
The net return factor for each Fund is equal to 1.0000000 plus
the net return rate.
The net return rate equals:
(a) The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate
Account at the end of a Valuation Period; minus
(b) The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate
Account at the start of the Valuation Period; plus or minus
(c) Taxes (or reserves for taxes) on the Separate Account (if
any); divided by
(d) The total value of the Funds(s) Accumulation Units and
Fund(s) Annuity Units of the Separate Account at the start
of the Valuation Period; minus
(e) A daily actuarial charge as shown on the Contract Schedule
for Annuity mortality and expense risks and profit and a
daily administrative charge.
The net return rate may be more or less than zero (0) percent.
The value of a share of the Fund is equal to the net assets of
the Fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.
14
6.06 Administrative Charge - We deduct an administrative charge equal,
on an annual basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule.
6.07 Mortality Risk Charge - We deduct a mortality risk charge equal,
on an annual basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule.
6.08 Expense Risk Charge - We deduct an expense risk charge equal, on
an annual basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule.
6.09 Mortality and Expense Guarantee - We guarantee that the dollar
amount of each Annuity payment after the first will not be
affected by variations in mortality or expense experience.
Section 7. AG Account
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.01 AG Account Guaranteed Interest Rate - All amounts allocated to
the AG Account earn a rate of interest that is guaranteed for a
specified period of time. The rate will be credited daily and
will never be less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate
shown on the Contract Schedule. We determine the rate and it is
not based on investment experience.
For guaranteed terms of one year or less, one guaranteed interest
rate is credited for the full guaranteed term. For longer
guaranteed terms, an initial guaranteed interest rate is credited
from the date of deposit to the end of a specified period within
the guaranteed term. There may be different guaranteed interest
rate(s) declared for subsequent specified time intervals
throughout the guaranteed term.
7.02 Deposit Period - A calendar week, a calendar month, a calendar
quarter, or any other period of time We specify during which Net
Purchase Payment(s), transfers and reinvestments are accepted
into the AG Account for one or more guaranteed terms. We reserve
the right to extend the deposit period.
7.03 Guaranteed Term - The period of time for which AG Account
guaranteed interest rates are guaranteed on Net Purchase
Payments. Transfers and reinvestments are made into a current
deposit period for the AG Account. Such period begins on the day
following the close of the deposit period and ends on the
designated Maturity Date. Guaranteed terms, if any, are offered
at our discretion for various lengths of time ranging up to and
including ten years.
During a deposit period, We may make available any number of
guaranteed terms. The Certificate Holder may allocate Net
Purchase Payments and transfers into any or all of the available
guaranteed terms.
7.04 Guaranteed Term(s) Groups - All AG Account guaranteed term(s)
with the same length of time from the close of the deposit period
until the designated Maturity Date.
7.05 Maturity Date - The last day of a guaranteed term.
15
7.06 Allocation of Net Purchase Payments to the AG Account - When the
Certificate Holder wishes to allocate all or any portion of a Net
Purchase Payment to the Guaranteed Account, he or she must tell
Us the percentage to apply to one or more of the AG Account
guaranteed term(s) available during the current deposit period.
If no allocation instructions are received, a Net Purchase
Payment is allocated as indicated in the most recent directive
from the Certificate Holder. If the same guaranteed term is not
available for any amount allocated to the AG Account, We will
allocate the amount to the next shortest guaranteed term
available. If no shorter guaranteed term is available, We will
allocate it to the next longest guaranteed term.
7.07 AG Account Guaranteed Term Maturity Date and Maturity Value - On
the maturity date, the value of the total of all amounts
allocated to that guaranteed term is called the maturity value.
When Certificate Holders have assets in the AG Account, at least
eighteen (18) days before a maturity date, We notify them of the:
(a) Projected maturity value; and
(b) Guaranteed terms and the applicable guaranteed interest
rates available during the current deposit period.
When no allocation instructions are received and the assets in a
guaranteed term have been reinvested by Us in another guaranteed
term on the maturity date, the Certificate Holder may transfer or
withdraw, during the month following the maturity date, the
reinvested amount with interest earned (as of the date the
request is received at our home office) without incurring a
Market Value Adjustment. This transaction is allowed only once
for each maturity date, regardless of whether the transfer or
withdrawal is partial or full.
7.08 Withdrawals and Transfers from the AG Account - When the
Certificate Holder requests a withdrawal or transfer from the AG
Account, if instructions are not provided by the Certificate
Holder, amounts are withdrawn on a pro rata basis from the
guaranteed term(s) groups in which the Certificate Holder's
Account is currently invested. Within a guaranteed term group,
the amount to be withdrawn will be withdrawn first from the
oldest deposit period. Withdrawals or transfers from an AG
Account guaranteed term before the maturity date are subject to a
Market Value Adjustment, except for:
(a) A one month period following the maturity date described in
7.07;
(b) Transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging program; and
(c) Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Option described
in Section 8.07.
Only a positive Market Value Adjustment will apply to amounts
transferred from the AG Account when the Certificate Holder
elects Annuity Option 2 or 3.
16
7.09 Reinvestment - We will mail a notice to the Certificate Holder
before a guaranteed term's maturity date. This notice will
contain the guaranteed terms available during the current deposit
periods with their guaranteed interest rate(s) and projected
maturity value. If no specific direction is given by the
Certificate Holder prior to the maturity date, each maturity
value will be reinvested in the current deposit period for a
guaranteed term of the same duration. If a guaranteed term of the
same duration is unavailable, each matured term value will
automatically be reinvested in the current deposit period for the
next shortest guaranteed term available. If no shorter guaranteed
term is available, the next longer guaranteed term will be used.
We will mail a confirmation statement to the Certificate Holder
after the maturity date. This notice will state the guaranteed
term and guaranteed interest rate(s) which will apply to the
reinvested matured term value.
7.10 AG Account Market Value Adjustment (Factor) - The Market Value
Adjustment factor (MVA factor) reflects any change in interest
rates from the time assets are allocated to the AG Account to the
time they are transferred or withdrawn. Except as noted in
Section 7.09, 10.02 and 12.01, an MVA factor is applied to any
amount withdrawn or transferred from the AG Account before the
end of a guaranteed term.
The amount withdrawn from the AG Account is multiplied by the MVA
factor which is calculated as follows:
x
---
365
(1 + i)
------------------
x
---
365
(1 + j)
Where:
i is the Deposit Period Yield
j is the Current Yield
x is the number of days remaining, (computed from
Wednesday of the week of withdrawal) in the
guaranteed Term.
Determination of MVA factor parameters:
A yield is computed at the close of the last business day of each
week of the deposit period. The yield will equal the average of
the yields on U.S. Treasury Notes which matured during the last
three months of the applicable guaranteed term.
The deposit period yield is the average of those yields for the
deposit period. If withdrawal is made prior to the close of the
deposit period, it is the average of those yields on each week
preceding withdrawal.
The current yield is the average of the yields on the last
business day of the week preceding withdrawal on the same U.S.
Treasury Notes included in the deposit period yield.
17
If no U.S. Treasury Notes matured during the last three months of
the guaranteed term, We reserve the right to use the average of
the yields on U.S. Treasury Notes that mature during a following
quarter.
Section 8. Certificate Holder's Account Value; Transfers and Withdrawals
During the Accumulation Period
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.01 Certificate Holder's Account Value - The value of a Certificate
Holder's Account is determined by adding the value of the total
of Accumulation Units attributed to the selected Fund(s) to the
value of any amounts attributed to the AG Account.
8.02 Transfers During the Accumulation Period - Before the Annuity
Date, the Certificate Holder may transfer from any Fund or
guaranteed term of the AG Account to:
(a) Any other Fund; or
(b) Any guaranteed term of the AG Account available in the
current deposit period.
Transfer requests can be submitted as a percentage or as a dollar
amount. We may establish a minimum transfer amount. Within a
guaranteed term group, the amount transferred is withdrawn first
from the oldest deposit period, then from the next oldest, and so
on until the amount requested is satisfied.
The Certificate Holder may make an unlimited number of transfers
during the Accumulation Period. The number of free transfers
allowed is shown on the Contract Schedule. Transfers in excess of
that number may be subject to the transfer charge shown on the
Contract Schedule. Transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging
program do not count toward the annual limit. Transfers of a
matured term value from the AG Account on or within one calendar
month after a guaranteed term's maturity date do not count
against the annual transfer limit.
Amounts applied to guaranteed terms of the AG Account may not be
transferred to the Funds or to another guaranteed term during the
deposit period or for 90 days after the close of the deposit
period except for (1) matured term value(s) during the calendar
month following the guaranteed term's maturity date; (2) amounts
applied to an annuity option; (3) transfers from the one-year
guaranteed term under the Dollar Cost Averaging program; and (4)
amounts distributed under the Systematic Withdrawal Option.
Except as noted in Section 7.09, 10.02 and 12.01, transfers from
guaranteed terms of the AG Account before the Maturity Date are
subject to a Market Value Adjustment.
18
8.03 Withdrawals During the Accumulation Period - The Certificate
Holder may withdraw all or a portion of the Certificate Holder's
Account Value during the Accumulation Period by properly
completing a withdrawal request form. Withdrawal requests can be
submitted as a percentage or as a specific dollar amount. Net
Purchase Payment amounts are withdrawn first, and then the excess
value, if any. For any partial withdrawal, if instructions are
not provided by the Certificate Holder, amounts are withdrawn on
a pro rata basis from the Fund(s), and/or the guaranteed term(s)
groups in which the Certificate Holder's Account is currently
invested. Within a guaranteed term group, the amount to be
withdrawn will be withdrawn first from the oldest deposit period,
then from the next oldest, and so on until the amount requested
is satisfied.
After deduction of the maintenance charge, if applicable, the
withdrawn amount shall be reduced by the applicable deferred
sales charge and any applicable premium taxes.
8.04 Deferred Sales Charge - The deferred sales charge only applies
to the portion of the amount withdrawn attributable to Net
Purchase Payment(s) and varies according to the elapsed time
since receipt of the Purchase Payment. The deferred sales charge
is shown on the Contract Schedule.
8.05 Waiver of Deferred Sales Charge - No deferred sales charge is
deducted when a Certificate Holder's Account Value is paid:
(a) To a Beneficiary as a death benefit, except for Purchase
Payments made by a surviving joint Certificate Holder as
described in Section 10.02(b);
(b) As a premium for an Annuity Option;
(c) At least the number of months, as shown on the Contract
Schedule, after the date of the first Purchase Payment and
in an amount equal to or less than the percentage of the
Certificate Holder's Account Value as shown on the Contract
Schedule. This applies to the first withdrawal request,
partial or full, in a calendar year. The Certificate
Holder's Account Value is calculated as of the date the
withdrawal request is received in good order at our home
office. This waiver is not available to the Certificate
Holder while a SWO is in effect;
(d) For a full withdrawal where the Certificate Holder's
Account Value does not exceed the amount shown on the
Contract Schedule and no withdrawals have been taken from
the Certificate Holder's Account within the prior 12
months;
(e) For a distribution made by Us under Section 8.06; or
(f) For a distribution which is part of a SWO under Section
8.07.
We reserve the right to allow the proceeds of a total withdrawal
to be reinstated under the terms and conditions as established by
Us from time to time.
8.06 Payment of Adjusted Certificate Holder Account Value - Upon 90
day's written notice to the Certificate Holder, We will terminate
any Certificate Holder's Account if the Certificate Holder's
Account Value becomes less than $1,500 immediately following any
partial withdrawal. We do not intend to exercise this right in
cases where the Certificate Holder's Account Value is reduced to
$1,500 or less solely due to investment performance. When We make
a distribution pursuant to this provision, the deferred sales
charge will not be deducted.
19
8.07 Systematic Withdrawal Option (SWO) - We will allow the
Certificate Holder to establish a schedule of withdrawals to be
made automatically from the Certificate Holder's Account Value.
All distributed amounts will be withdrawn on a pro rata basis
from the Fund(s) and/or the guaranteed term(s) groups of the AG
Account in which the Certificate Holder's Account is invested.
The Certificate Holder must elect one of the following SWO
methods:
(a) Specified Payment: Payments of a designated dollar amount.
The annual amount may not be greater than the percentage of
the Certificate Holder's Account Value at time of the
election as shown on the Contract Schedule. This annual
dollar amount will remain constant. At our discretion, We
may require a minimum payment amount; or
(b) Specified Period: Payments which are made over a period of
time which must be at least the minimum period as shown on
the Contract Schedule. The annual amount paid each year is
calculated by dividing the Certificate Holder's Account
Value as of December 31 of the prior year by the number of
payment years remaining; or
(c) Specified Percentage: Payment of a designated percentage
which cannot be greater than the percentage of the
Certificate Holder's Account Value at the time of election
as shown on the Contract Schedule. The percentage may be
changed by written request. We reserve the right to limit
the number of times the percentage may be changed. The
annual amount is calculated by multiplying the Certificate
Holder's Account Value as of December 31 of the year prior
to the payment by the designated percentage.
SWO payments will cease at the Certificate Holder's death (or if
the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, at the death of
the Annuitant). A beneficiary may elect to continue SWO as
provided in Section 10.01.
In our discretion, We may require a minimum initial Certificate
Holder's Account Value for election of this option. SWO may be
elected by submitting a completed and signed election form to Us.
Once elected, this option may be revoked by submitting a written
request to Us. SWO may be elected only once by the Certificate
Holder or by a spousal Beneficiary.
Certificate Holders should consult their tax adviser prior to
requesting this distribution option. We are not responsible for
any adverse tax consequences due to a Certificate Holder's
receiving SWO payments. A ten (10) percent penalty tax may apply
to distributions to a Certificate Holder who has not reached age
59-1/2. Upon death of the Certificate Holder, any payments will
be made under the terms of Section 10.
Dollar Cost Averaging is not available to Certificate Holders who
have elected SWO.
20
Section 9. Maintenance Charge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.01 Maintenance Charge - We will deduct an annual maintenance charge
as shown in the Contract Schedule from the Certificate Holder's
Account during the Accumulation Period. We will deduct the
maintenance charge on the anniversary of the Effective Date of
the Certificate for the Certificate Holder's Account. This
maintenance charge is also deducted upon withdrawal of the entire
Adjusted Certificate Holder's Account. The maintenance charge is
deducted proportionately from each investment option used.
Section 10. Proceeds Payable on Death
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.01 Death of the Certificate Holder Prior to the Annuity Date - In
the event of the death of the Certificate Holder or a joint
Certificate Holder prior to the Annuity Date, a death benefit is
payable to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Certificate
Holder. Upon the death of a joint Certificate Holder, the
surviving joint Certificate Holder, if any, will be treated as
the designated Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on
record with Us at the time of death will be treated as a
contingent Beneficiary. If the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural
person, the death benefit will be payable to the Beneficiary(ies)
at the death of the Annuitant.
A Beneficiary may request We pay the death benefit under one of
the methods described in Section 10.03. If the Beneficiary is the
spouse of the Certificate Holder, or the spouse of the Annuitant
if the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, he or she may
elect to continue the Certificate Holder's Account in his or her
own name and exercise all the Certificate Holder's rights under
the Contract.
10.02 Death Benefit Amount Prior to the Annuity Date -
(a) Except as set forth below, the amount of the guaranteed
death benefit value is equal to the greater of:
(i) The Certificate Holder's Account Value at the end of
the Valuation Period during which We receive at our
home office due proof of death and election of the
type of payment to be made; or
(ii) The death benefit determined as of the Valuation
Period corresponding to the date of death.
Until the first Effective Date anniversary, the
death benefit is equal to the Purchase Payments made
by the Certificate Holder prior to the Effective Date
anniversary less any withdrawals and any amounts
applied to an Annuity Option.
For each Certificate year thereafter, the death
benefit during the Certificate year equals the death
benefit at the beginning of the Certificate year plus
Purchase Payments made during the year less any
withdrawals and any amounts applied to an Annuity
Option.
21
On each Effective Date anniversary, the death benefit
is determined as follows:
(A) The death benefit on the previous Effective
Date anniversary increased by the death benefit factor
shown on the Contract Schedule; plus
(B) Purchase Payments made by the Certificate
Holder during the Certificate year increased by the
death benefit factor shown on the Contract Schedule
for the portion of the year since the Purchase Payment
was made; less
(C) Any withdrawals or amounts applied to an
Annuity Option during the Certificate year increased
by the death benefit factor shown on the Contract
Schedule for the portion of the Certificate year since
the withdrawal or election of Annuity option; or
(iii) The Certificate Holder's Account Value on the most
recent seventh year anniversary of the Effective Date
plus any Purchase Payments made after such Effective
Date anniversary less any withdrawals and any amounts
applied to an Annuity Option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the death benefit under (ii)
or (iii) will not exceed the death benefit maximum amount
shown on the Contract Schedule.
The death benefit calculation described in (ii) and (iii)
above, applies until the Certificate Holder reaches the
death benefit maximum age shown on the Contract Schedule.
If the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, death
provisions will be based on the age of the Annuitant.
Thereafter, the death benefit is only adjusted for Purchase
Payments, withdrawals and amounts applied to Annuity
Options. If the Certificate Holder reaches the death
benefit maximum age shown on the Contract Schedule prior to
the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date, the death
benefit will be the greater of (i) or (ii) above.
The excess, if any, of the guaranteed death benefit value
over the Certificate Holder's Account Value is determined
when we receive at our home office due proof of death and
allocated to the Fund shown on the Contract Schedule. The
Certificate Holder's Account Value plus any excess amount
deposited becomes the Certificate Holder's Account Value.
(b) In the case of a spousal Beneficiary who continued the
Certificate Holder's Account in his or her own name, the
death benefit shall be equal to the Adjusted Current Value
less any applicable deferred sales charge on any Purchase
Payment made after We have received at our home office due
proof of death of the joint Certificate Holder (or
Annuitant, if applicable).
When the Beneficiary withdraws or transfers all or any portion of
the death benefit in the AG Account within six months after the
date of death, the amount withdrawn or transferred from the AG
Account will be the greater of:
(1) The aggregate Market Value Adjustment amount (the amount
resulting from the application of relevant Market Value
Adjustment factors); or
(2) The applicable portion of Certificate Holder's Account Value
in the AG Account.
22
After the six-month period, when the Beneficiary withdraws or
transfers all or any portion of the death benefit in the AG
Account, the amount will be equal to the aggregate Market Value
Adjustment amount. Only a positive market value adjustment will
apply, however, to amounts transferred from the AG Account when
the Beneficiary elects Annuity Option 2 or 3.
At the death of a spousal Beneficiary who continued the
Certificate Xxxxxx's Account in his or her own name, when the
Beneficiary withdraws or transfers all or any portion of the
death benefit in the AG Account, the amount will be equal to the
Aggregate Market Value Adjustment amount.
10.03 Death Benefit Payment Methods - A non-spousal Beneficiary must
elect the death benefit to be paid under one of the following
methods in the event of the death of the Certificate Holder prior
to the Annuity Date:
Method 1 - Lump sum payment of the death benefit; or
Method 2 - The payment of the entire death benefit within five
years of the date of the Certificate Holder's death; or
Method 3 - Payment of the death benefit over the lifetime of the
designated Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the
life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary with distribution
beginning within one year of the date of death of the Certificate
Holder.
Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Method 3
within one year of the date of Certificate Holder's death, or the
death of the Annuitant if the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural
person, must be distributed within five years of the date of
death.
A spousal Beneficiary may elect to continue the Certificate
Holder's Account in his or her name, elect a lump sum payment of
the death benefit, or apply the Adjusted Certificate Holder's
Account Value to an Annuity Option.
10.04 Death of Certificate Holder On or After the Annuity Date - If the
Certificate Holder who is not the Annuitant, dies on or after the
Annuity Date, the remaining payments under the Annuity Option
elected will be made to the Beneficiary at least as rapidly as
under the method of distribution in effect at the Certificate
Holder's death.
10.05 Death of the Annuitant - If the Annuitant, who is not a
Certificate Holder, dies on or before the Annuity Date, a new
Annuitant may be named. If no Annuitant is named, the Certificate
Holder will be the Annuitant. If the Certificate Holder is a
nonnatural person, the death benefit will be paid at the death of
the Annuitant and no new Annuitant may be named. If the Annuitant
dies after the Annuity Date, the death benefit, if any, will be
payable to the Beneficiary as specified in the Annuity Option
elected. We will require proof of the Annuitant's death. Death
benefits will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of
distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death.
23
Section 11. Delay of Payments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.01 Delay of Payments - We will make any payments under this Contract
within seven days after a request is received in good order. We
reserve the right to suspend or postpone any type of payment from
the Separate Account for any period when:
(a) The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than
customary weekend and holiday closings;
(b) Trading on the Exchange is restricted;
(c) An emergency exists as a result of which it is not
reasonably practicable to dispose of securities held in the
Separate Account or determine their value; or
(d) The Securities and Exchange Commission so permits delay for
the protection of security holders.
The applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
will govern as to whether the conditions in (b) or (c) exist.
We also reserve the right to delay any type of payment from the
AG Account for up to six months.
Section 12. Annuity Provisions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.01 Designation of Annuitant - The Certificate Holder and the
Annuitant need not be the same person. The Certificate Holder
names the Annuitant and during the Accumulation Period, may
change the designated Annuitant. We change the Annuitant when We
receive a written request in good order at our home office. We
will not change the Annuitant when Annuity payments have
commenced.
The Certificate Holder elects an Annuity Option by telling Us to
use all or any portion of the Certificate Holder's Account Value
(minus any applicable premium taxes if not previously deducted)
to purchase Annuity payments under an Annuity Option. If the
Certificate Holder elects Annuity Option 1, the amount applied to
purchase Annuity payments will be equal to the Adjusted
Certificate Holder's Account Value. If the Certificate Holder
elects Annuity Option 2 or 3, the amount applied to purchase
Annuity payments will be the greater of:
(1) The Adjusted Certificate Holder's Account Value; or
(2) The Certificate Holder's Account Value.
When an Annuity Option is chosen the Certificate Holder must
designate a:
(a) Fixed Annuity using the General Account;
(b) Variable Annuity using any of the Funds available during the
Annuity Period; or
(c) Combination of (a) and (b).
If a fixed Annuity is chosen, We will calculate the amount using
an interest assumption no less than the percentage specified on
the Contract Schedule. We may calculate the amount using a higher
interest rate.
24
If a variable Annuity is chosen, an Assumed Annual Net Return
Rate of 5% may be chosen. If not chosen, We will use an Assumed
Annual Net Return Rate of 3.5%.
Payments are made on a monthly basis to the Certificate Holder
unless the Certificate Holder requests a different mode of
payment.
Once elected, an Annuity Option may not be revoked, except for
Option 1 when elected on a variable basis.
12.02 Terms of Annuity Options - The minimum first payment amount must
be at least $50 per month and at least $250 per year.
If the Certificate Holder elects a fixed Annuity and We determine
that the Certificate Holder would receive larger payments by
applying the Certificate Holder's Account Value, reduced by the
deferred sales charge, to a single premium immediate Annuity
currently offered by Us, We will make the larger payments.
We determine the first payment of a variable Annuity, or the
payment amount of a fixed Annuity, using the Annuitant's (and
second Annuitant's if applicable) adjusted age which We calculate
as follows:
(a) If Annuity payments begin any time between July 1, 1992 and
December 31, 1999, the adjusted age is the Annuitant's age
as of the birthday closest in time to the Annuity Date
reduced by one (1) year.
(b) If the Annuity begins any time between January 1, 2000 and
December 31, 2009, the adjusted age is the Annuitant's age
as of the birthday closest in time to the Annuity Date
reduced by two (2) years.
(c) For each succeeding decade, the adjusted age is the
Annuitant's age as determined in (b), reduced by one
additional year.
The Annuity rates for Options 2 and 3 are based on mortality from
1983 Table A.
Assumed Annual Net Return Rate is the interest rate used to
determine the amount of the first Annuity payment under a
variable Annuity. The Separate Account must earn this rate plus
enough to cover the mortality and expense risks charges (which
may include profit) and administrative charges if future variable
Annuity payments are to remain level.
25
The Certificate Holder must give written notice to Us at least 30
days before the Annuity payments begin, electing or changing:
(a) The date on which Annuity payments are to begin;
(b) The Annuity Option;
(c) Whether the payments are to be made monthly, quarterly,
semiannually or annually;
(d) The investment options used to provide Annuity payments.
The first Annuity payment may not be earlier than one (1)
calendar year after the initial Purchase Payment, nor later than
the later of the:
(a) First day of the month following the Annuitant's birthday
shown on the Contract Schedule; or
(b) Tenth anniversary of the last Purchase Payment. In lieu of
the election of an Annuity, the Certificate Holder may
request a lump sum payment.
12.03 Annuity Unit - The number of Annuity Units per Fund is based on
the amount of the first variable Annuity payment which is equal
to:
(a) The portion of the Certificate Holder's Account Value (minus
any premium taxes) applied to pay a variable Annuity;
divided by,
(b) 1000; multiplied by,
(c) The payment rate for the Annuity Option chosen.
Such amount, or portion, of the variable Annuity payment will be
divided by the Annuity Unit value for the appropriate Fund on the
tenth Valuation Period before the due date of the first payment
to determine the number of each Fund's Annuity Units. The number
of each Fund's Annuity Unit remains fixed. Each future payment is
equal to the sum of the products of each Fund's Annuity Unit
value multiplied by the appropriate number of units. The Fund's
Annuity Unit value on the tenth Valuation Period prior to the due
date of the payment is used.
12.04 Annuity Unit Value - For any Valuation Period, a Fund's Annuity
Unit value is equal to:
(a) The value for the previous Valuation Period; multiplied by,
(b) The Annuity Net Return Factor for the Valuation Period;
multiplied by,
(c) A daily factor to reflect the Assumed Annual Net Return Rate
(the factor for 3.5% per year is .9999058; for 5% per year
it is .9998663).
The dollar value of a Fund(s) Annuity Unit values and payments
may go up or down due to investment gain or loss.
12.05 Annuity Net Return Factor - The Annuity net return factor is used
to compute all Separate Account Annuity payments for any Fund.
26
The Annuity net return factor(s) for each Fund is equal to
1.0000000 plus the net return rate. The net return rate is equal
to:
(a) The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate
Account at the end of a Valuation Period; minus,
(b) The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate
Account at the start of the Valuation Period; plus or
minus,
(c) Taxes (or reserves for taxes) on the Separate Account (if
any); divided by
(d) The total value of the Fund(s) Accumulation Units and
Fund(s) Annuity Units of the Separate Account at the start
of the Valuation Period; minus,
(e) A daily actuarial charge as shown of the Contract Schedule
for Annuity mortality and expense risks and profit and a
daily administrative charge which will not exceed the
administrative charge as shown on the Contract Schedule.
The net return rate may be more or less than zero (0) percent.
The value of a share of the Fund is equal to the net assets of
the Fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.
12.06 Annuity Options
Option 1 - Payments for a Stated Period of Time - An Annuity will
be paid for the number of years chosen. The number of years must
be at least 5 and not more than 30.
If payments for this Annuity Option are made under a variable
Annuity, the present value of any remaining payments may be
withdrawn at any time. Option 2 - Life Income - An Annuity will
be paid for the life of the Annuitant. If also chosen, We will
guarantee payments for 60, 120, 180, or 240 months.
Option 3 - Life Income Based upon the Lives of Two Annuitants -
An Annuity will be paid during the lives of the Annuitant and a
second Annuitant. Payments will continue until both Annuitants
have died. When this Annuity Option is chosen, a choice must be
made of:
(a) 100% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(b) 66-2/3% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(c) 50% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(d) Payments for a minimum of 120 months with 100% of the
payment to continue after the first death; or
(e) 100% of the payment to continue at the death of the second
Annuitant and 50% of the payment to continue at the death
of the Annuitant.
We may make other options available as allowed by law.
