Common use of ANNUITY TABLES Clause in Contracts

ANNUITY TABLES. The Annuity Tables show the guaranteed minimum amount of monthly Annuity Payment for each $1,000 of Accumulated Value for each Fixed Annuity Option. We may, at the time of election of a Fixed Annuity Payment Option, offer more favorable rates in lieu of the guaranteed rates shown in the Annuity Tables. The amount of each Annuity Payment will depend on the Annuitant’s sex and age on the birthday nearest to the date the first Annuity Payment is due. We base the tables for the first four Options on the 1983 Table “A” Mortality Table projected for mortality improvement to the year 2000 using Projection Scale G and an interest rate of 4% a year. The table for Option 5 is based on an interest rate of 4% a year. On request we will furnish the amount of monthly Annuity Payment per $1,000 applied for any ages not shown. We will treat any Payee who is over age 85 at the date Annuity Payments begin as being age 85 on that date.
