ANNUITY PAYMENTS If the Proceeds are less than $2,000 on the Maturity Date as shown on the first page of this Contract, we will pay you or, subject to our consent in the event the payee is not a natural person, a payee designated by you, the Proceeds in one lump sum payment as directed by you and this Contract will have no further value. If the Proceeds are equal to or greater than $2,000 on the Maturity Date as shown on the first page of this Contract and an Annuitant is living on the Maturity Date, we will begin making Annuity Payments as described below. We will make Annuity Payments beginning on the Maturity Date, on a monthly basis unless you deliver Notice to Us directing us to pay at a different frequency. However, requests for periodic payments other than monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually require our consent. If the day an Annuity Payment is scheduled to be paid is not a Business Day, for instance, a weekend, or does not exist in any month in which an Annuity Payment is due, for instance, a month that does not contain twenty-nine, thirty, or thirty-one days, such Annuity Payment will be paid on the next Business Day. The amount applied to an Annuity Plan will be the Proceeds, less any applicable premium tax, which will determine the Annuity Payment under the Annuity Plan you have elected. Each Annuity Payment must equal at least $20. If Annuity Payments would be less than $20, we have the right to make such Annuity Payments less frequently as necessary to make the Annuity Payment equal to at least $20. We have the right to change the $2,000 and $20 minimums stated in this provision based upon increases reflected in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) since January 1, 2005. You may elect any of the Annuity Plans described below. In addition, you may elect any other Annuity Plan we may be offering on the Maturity Date. You may change the Annuity Plan you have elected at any time before the Maturity Date upon thirty days prior Notice to Us. Upon request, we will send you the proper forms to elect or change an Annuity Plan. The elected Annuity Plan shall become effective when we receive satisfactorily completed forms indicating your election. If you do not elect an Annuity Plan by the Maturity Date, payments, calculated based on the oldest Annuitant's life, will be made to you or a payee designated by you automatically each month for a minimum of 120 months and as long thereafter as the oldest Annuitant lives unless otherwise limited by applicable law. IU-IA-3089 Your election of an Annuity Plan is subject to the following additional terms and conditions: (1) If you do not direct us otherwise, Annuity Payments will be paid to you.

Life Annuity In addition to the rules imposed by the Act, a life annuity purchased with the property of the Plan must comply with Pension Legislation and must be established for the Annuitant’s life. However, if the Annuitant has a Spouse on the date payments under the life annuity begin, the life annuity must be established for the lives jointly of the Annuitant and the Annuitant’s Spouse, unless the Spouse has provided a waiver in the form and manner required by Pension Legislation. Where the surviving Spouse is entitled to payments under the life annuity after the Annuitant’s death, those payments must be at least 60 percent of the amount to which the Annuitant was entitled prior to the Annuitant’s death. The life annuity may not differentiate based on gender except to the extent permitted by Pension Legislation.
Retirement System The withdrawal of employee contributions made on or after January 1, 2014 may also be withdrawn but only on an actuarially neutral basis. The actuarial present value of the pension reduction shall be equal to the amount of accumulated member contributions withdrawn. The actuarial present value shall computed using the interest rate used in the annual actuarial valuation and the mortality table used in the annual actuarial valuation with a 50% unisex blend.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS Choice of Annuity Date — Unless otherwise changed as provided below, the Annuity Date is shown in the Contract Specifications. We assigned the Annuity Date based on the Contract type chosen and the Annuitant’s Age shown in the application for this Contract. If there are Joint Annuitants, the Annuity Date was based on the younger Annuitant’s birthday. The Annuity Date may be changed by providing proper notice to us at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the current Annuity Date or new Annuity Date, whichever is earlier, subject to any applicable state law or the Code. The new Annuity Date may not be earlier than the first Contract Anniversary and must occur on or before the day the Annuitant reaches his or her 95th birthday, or earlier, as required by any applicable state law or the Code. If there are Joint Annuitants, the Annuity Date will be based on the younger Annuitant’s birthday. You may be subject to additional restrictions under your Qualified Plan. You should consult with your Qualified Plan administrator before you elect an Annuity Date.
