JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY We will make Annuity Payments, payable at the frequency elected, during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant. Upon the death of either the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments will continue to be paid during the remaining lifetime of the survivor. Annuity Payments cease with the final Annuity Payment due prior to the last survivor's death. Option 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Annuity with 10 Years of Annuity Payments Guaranteed -- We will make Annuity Payments, payable at the frequency elected, during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant. Upon the death of either the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments will continue to be paid during the remaining lifetime of the survivor. If at the last death of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant, there have been less than 10 years of Annuity Payments made as selected, Annuity Payments will continue to be made for the remainder of the Guaranteed Period. You may elect to have the present value of the guaranteed Variable Annuity Payments remaining, as of the date due proof of the Annuitant's death is received at our Annuity Service Office, commuted at the Assumed Investment Return selected. We will require the return of this Contract and proof of death prior to the payment of any commuted values. ANNUITY -- You can elect to have the Annuity Option payable as Fixed Annuity Payments or Variable Annuity Payments or a combination. Fixed Annuity Payments are guaranteed as to dollar amount. Variable Annuity Payments will reflect the investment experience of the Separate Account in accordance with the allocation of the Account Value to the Subaccounts. Unless another payee is designated, you will be the payee of the Annuity Payments. The Adjusted Account Value will be applied to the applicable Fixed and/or Variable Annuity Tables to determine your first Annuity Payment. The Adjusted Account Value is determined on the Annuity Calculation Date which is a Business Day no more than five Business Days prior to the Annuity Date. The Adjusted Account Value is the Account Value, less any Premium and Other Taxes or other applicable taxes and less the Account Fee. The amount of the first payment for each $1,000 of Adjusted Account Value is shown in the Annuity Tables. FIXED ANNUITY -- Fixed Annuity Payments are based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's Attained Age and sex, and the appropriate Fixed Annuity Option Table. If, as of the Annuity Calculation Date, the then-current Fixed Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide an Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this Contract, then the greater payment will be made. The dollar amount of the first Variable Annuity Payment is determined as follows. The first Variable Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's Attained Age and sex, and the appropriate Variable Annuity Option Table. If, as of the Annuity Calculation Date, the then current Variable Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of Contracts provide a first Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this Contract, the greater payment will be made. The dollar amount of Variable Annuity Payments for each applicable Subaccount after the first payment is determined as follows:
Contingent Beneficiary While the Annuitant is alive, the Owner may, by written Request, designate or change a Contingent Beneficiary from time to time. The Company shall not be bound by any change of Contingent Beneficiary unless it is made in writing and recorded at the Retirement Resource Operations Center.
DEATH OF BENEFICIARY Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, if any Beneficiary dies before the Owner, that Beneficiary's interest will go to any other primary Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests. If there are no primary Beneficiaries, the Beneficiaries' interest will pass to a contingent Beneficiary, if any. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, if no Beneficiary or contingent Beneficiary survives the Owner, the Death Benefits will be paid to the Owner's estate. Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, once a Beneficiary is receiving Death Benefits or annuity payments under an Annuity Payment Option, the Beneficiary may name his or her own Beneficiary to receive any remaining benefits due under the Contract, should the original Beneficiary die prior to receipt of all benefits. If no Beneficiary is named or the named Beneficiary predeceases the original Beneficiary, any remaining benefits will continue to the original Beneficiary's estate. A Beneficiary designation must be made by Notice to LNY.

Pre-Retirement Death Benefit 4.1 (a) Normal form of payment. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits. The balance of the Director=s Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director=s death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director=s death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director=s Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director=s Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director=s Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director=s Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director=s death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice. The Director=s Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death or (ii) the date any final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable to the Director's Beneficiary for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director=s death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c).
