Fixed Annuity 10 1.16 Fund(s) ........................................................... 10 1.17
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.
Annuity 24.1 If the policy schedule states that the insured amount is a surviving dependant's annuity within the meaning of Section 3.125(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act 2001, this article shall apply.
a. The entitlement to an annuity payment cannot be surrendered, disposed of, divulged or used as security and, in general, no legal action can be taken with regard to this insurance that may lead the tax authorities to take back the premium deduction they received for this insurance in the past.
b. The insurer shall be held liable by law for the payment of the wage and income tax and revision interest owed by the policyholder or the person entitled to an annuity as soon as a circumstance referred to under point a arises.
c. The insurer will then be entitled to set off the amount of the maximum wage and income tax and revision interest due against the value of the insured annuity(s), irrespective of whether these are paid out or not.
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.

FIXED ACCOUNT FIXED ACCOUNT The Fixed Account is comprised of a one-year Guaranteed Period Option and the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Option that we may choose to offer. Premium payments applied to and any amounts transferred to the Fixed Account will reflect a fixed interest rate. The interest rates we set will be credited for increments of at least one year measured from each premium payment or transfer date. These rates will never be less than the Fixed Account Guaranteed Minimum Effective Annual Interest Rate shown on Page 3. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to prohibit premium payments and/or transfers allocated to any of the Fixed Account options described in this section after the Policy Date. We will provide 30 days advance written notice of this decision. We will also provide timely written notification to You once any such prohibition of premium payments and/or transfers is no longer in effect. GUARANTEED PERIOD OPTION We will offer the one-year Guaranteed Period Option for the initial premium payment and may offer it for subsequent premium payments or amounts transferred to the Fixed Account. The current interest rate we set for funds entering a Guaranteed Period Option (GPO) is guaranteed until the end of that option's Guaranteed Period. At that time, the premium payment made or amount transferred into the GPO, less any Withdrawals or transfers from that GPO, plus accrued interest, will be rolled into a new one-year GPO or may be transferred to any Subaccount(s) within the Separate Account(s). You may choose the Investment Option(s) You want the funds transferred into by giving us a written notice within 30 days before the end of the expiring option's Guaranteed Period. However, any Guaranteed Period elected may not extend beyond the maximum Annuity Commencement Date defined in Section 11. In the absence of such election, the funds will be rolled into a new one-year GPO if we are allowing transfers into new one-year GPO's at that time You will be mailed a notice of completion of any rollover with the new interest rate applicable. The new GPO will be deemed as accepted if we do not receive a written rejection within 30 days from the postmark date of the completion notice. If we are prohibiting transfers into new one-year GPO's, we will provide 30 days advance written notice of this decision. We will also provide timely written notification to you once any such prohibition of transfers is no longer in effect. When funds are withdrawn or transferred from the one year GPO, the Policy Value associated with the oldest premium payment or rollover is considered to be withdrawn/transferred first. If the amount withdrawn/transferred exceeds the Policy Value associated with the oldest premium, the Policy Value associated with the next oldest premium payment or rollover is considered to be withdrawn/transferred next, and so on until the Policy Value associated with the most recent premium payment or rollover is considered to be withdrawn/transferred (this is a "First-In, First-Out" or FIFO basis).
