The [2012 Individual Annuity Mortality Period Table, with an assumed net investment rate of 1.00% and a 0% expense load] provides the actuarial basis for the Table of Income Options. The Company will determine the interest rate it uses in the present value calculations referred to in Options 3 and 4 as described in the Income Provisions, but in no instance will that interest rate be greater than 1 percentage point higher than the rate the Company uses to calculate the initial income payment. The interest rate differential is the Company's fee for the recalculation and commutation of the payments. The Table of Income Options does not include any applicable premium tax. ICC18 VA785-FB1 3d

GENERAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D) TRANSFER OF FUNDS. The Contract Data Pages describe the conditions for transfers of funds between Investment Divisions. Transfer of Funds Restrictions. The Company may restrict the number and frequency of transfers into and between Investment Divisions in certain circumstances.

The Company may impose a restriction including, but not limited to: 1. a minimum time between transfers; 2. a limitation on transfer requests of an agent acting for one or more Owners; and 3. a limitation on the dollar amount of any transfer. Systematic Investment Programs. The Company may provide systematic investment programs that allow You to systematically transfer funds among the Investment Divisions. These programs may include dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, and the automatic monthly transfer of earnings from the money market Investment Division to the Designated Option(s). You may contact the Company's Service Center to obtain materials and forms that describe, and are required to participate in, these programs. The Company makes no guarantee that these programs will result in a profit or protect against loss. The Company's dollar cost averaging program permits You to authorize the automatic monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual transfer of a fixed dollar amount or selected percentage of the value of a Source Option, to one (1) or more Designated Option(s). WRITTEN NOTICE. Written information or instructions You intend to give to the Company must be in Good Order and delivered to the Company's Service Center, unless the Company advises You otherwise. Instructions included in the Written Notice will take effect on the date the Company receives the notice in Good Order at the Company's Service Center, unless otherwise provided in the notice or in this Contract, or unless the Company advises You otherwise. The Company will deliver any notice or communication to Your last address in the Company's records unless You request otherwise in writing.

ACCUMULATION PROVISIONS You may not allocate funds to more than the maximum number of Investment Divisions, specified on the Contract Data Pages, at any one time. The Company may waive this maximum. SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The Separate Account is an asset account shown on the Contract Data Pages. The Separate Account consists of assets the Company has set aside and has kept separate from the Company's general account assets and other separate accounts. The Separate Account assets will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other Company business. The Company credits or charges all the income, gains, and losses resulting from the Separate Account assets exclusively to the contracts supported by the Separate Account. The Separate Account assets will be available to cover the liabilities of the Company's general account only to the extent that they exceed the Separate Account liabilities arising from the Contracts supported by the Separate Account. The Separate Account is divided into several Investment Divisions. The Company will value the Separate Account assets at their fair market value at least monthly. Accumulation Units. The Contract Value may increase or decrease depending on the performance of the Investment Divisions. The Company uses a unit of measure called an Accumulation Unit to measure the Contract Value during the growth stage of Your Contract. The value of an Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease from Business Day to Business Day. Transactions affecting the Contract Value, such as withdrawals, transfers, and certain charges, result in the redemption of Accumulation Units but do not change the value of Accumulation Units. When You make an allocation to the Investment Divisions, the Company credits Your Contract with Accumulation Units. The Company determines the number of Accumulation Units credited to Your Contract by dividing the amount You allocate to each Investment Division by its Accumulation Unit Value at the close of the Business Day on which You make the allocation. Accumulation Unit Value. The Company determines the value of an Accumulation Unit for each of the Investment Divisions by: 1. determining the total amount of money allocated to that particular Investment Division; 2. subtracting from that amount any applicable taxes; 3. dividing the result by the number of outstanding Accumulation Units.

WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS On or before the Income Date You may request a total or partial withdrawal of the Contract Value by submitting a request to the Company's Service Center in a form acceptable to the Company. TOTAL WITHDRAWAL. Upon a total withdrawal, You will receive the Withdrawal Value. The Withdrawal Value will be based on values determined at the end of the Business Day on which the Company receives Your withdrawal request in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. If a total withdrawal is requested, You must submit the Contract to the Company's Service Center. A total withdrawal terminates Your Contract. No withdrawal may exceed the Withdrawal Value. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL. Any partial withdrawal must be either: 1. an amount not less than the minimum partial withdrawal amount shown on the Contract Data Pages; or 2. an amount equal to Your entire interest in an Investment Division. The partial withdrawal will be based on values determined at the end of the Business Day on which the Company receives Your request for withdrawal in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. Your Contract Value will be reduced by the gross withdrawal amount requested. Unless You request otherwise, a partial withdrawal will be deducted from each Investment Division in proportion to its current value. At least the Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, must remain after any partial withdrawal. If the partial withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value below the Minimum Contract Value remaining after a partial withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data Pages, the Company will treat the withdrawal request as a total withdrawal and the Withdrawal Value will be paid. SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL. You may elect to take a systematic withdrawal by withdrawing a specific sum or a certain percentage of the Contract Value on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis, subject to the Minimum partial withdrawal amount made as a scheduled part of a systematic withdrawal program, as shown on the Contract Data Pages. ICC18 VA785 11

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS NATURAL OWNER'S DEATH BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of the Owner or any Joint Owner, before the Income Date, the Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Owner. In the event of the death of a Joint Owner, the surviving Joint Owner, if any, will be the Primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the Company's Service Center at the time of death will be treated as a Contingent Beneficiary. DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. The death benefit amount before the Income Date is equal to the Contract Value. The Company will calculate the first Beneficiary's share of the death benefit at the end of the Business Day (after all applicable transactions for the day) on which the Company receives the Beneficiary's request for payment with Due Proof of death, an election identifying the type of death benefit option requested, proof of the Beneficiary's interest in the proceeds and any applicable state required forms, in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. Each Beneficiary will receive their portion of the death benefit, subject to market fluctuations, when the Company receives their death benefit option election form and any applicable state required forms, in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. Each Beneficiary entitled to the death benefit bears the investment risk associated with amounts allocated to any Investment Division until the Company calculates their share of the death benefit. DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Unless the Owner has designated a Pre-selected Death Benefit Payment Option, a Beneficiary entitled to the death benefit before the Income Date must request that the Company pay the death benefit according to one of the death benefit payment options below: Option 1 - single lump-sum payment; Option 2 - payment of the entire death benefit distributed within five (5) years of the date of the relevant death; or Option 3 - Income Payments of the death benefit (i) over the lifetime of the Beneficiary, or (ii) over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary, with distribution beginning within one (1) year of the date of the relevant death. The Company may make available other death benefit payment options. A Beneficiary that wishes to elect payment under the life income option (Option 3) must do so no later than sixty (60) days from the date the Company receives Due Proof of death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. Any portion of the death benefit not applied under the life income option (Option 3) must be paid within five (5) years from the Owner's death. The death benefit will remain invested in accordance with the allocation selected by You until a payout option is selected or the Beneficiary specifies otherwise. ICC18 VA785 12

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D) ANNUITANT'S DEATH BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of an Annuitant who is not an Owner before the Income Date, the Contract remains in force and the Owner becomes the Annuitant. The Owner may designate a new Annuitant, subject to the Company's administrative rules then in effect. However, if the Owner is not a natural person, upon the death of any Annuitant, the Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Owner. BENEFICIARY'S ENTITLEMENT TO DEATH BENEFIT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE. The Company will pay the death benefit to Primary Beneficiaries or, if none, to Contingent Beneficiaries, in equal shares (the "default allocation") unless You have designated otherwise (the "designated allocation"). A Beneficiary that dies before or within ten (10) days (or different period as prescribed by applicable law) of Your death is not entitled to any death benefit. In that circumstance, the Company will pay the deceased Beneficiary's benefit to surviving Beneficiaries in the same proportion as the designated allocation or, if applicable, the default allocation. If no Beneficiary survives You, the Company will pay the death benefit to Your estate. PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. The Company will pay the death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary upon receipt of a request for payment with Due Proof of death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. If any death benefit proceed is due to an Owner's estate, the Company will pay it in a single lump- sum payment. With the exception of death benefit Option 3 above, the Company will pay a Beneficiary that elects a death benefit option within seven (7) calendar days of the date the Company receives request for payment, provided the Company has received Due Proof of death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center, unless the Suspension of Payments provision is in effect. If the Company does not distribute death benefit proceeds within seven (7) calendar days, the death benefit proceeds will include interest accrued and payable from the eighth day following the date that Due Proof of death was received in Good Order at the Company's Service Center until the death benefit is paid. The rate of interest will equal the rate of interest applicable to death benefit proceeds left on deposit with the Company on the date of the Owner's death. If the Company does not distribute the death benefit payment within thirty (30) calendar days of the latest of the dates specified in items 1, 2, and 3 below, then beginning on the thirty-first calendar day from the latest of the dates specified in items 1, 2, and 3 below until the date the claim is paid, the death benefit will accrue additional interest at a rate of 10% annually. 1. The date the Company receives Due Proof of death; 2. the date the Company receives sufficient information to determine liability, the extent of the liability, and the appropriate payee legally entitled to the proceeds; and 3. the date that legal impediments to payment of proceeds that depend on the action of parties other than the Company are resolved and sufficient evidence of the same is provided to the Company. Legal impediments to payment include, but are not limited to (a) the establishment of guardianships and conservatorships; (b) appointment and qualification of trustees, executors and administrators; and (c) submission of information required to satisfy state and federal reporting requirements. ICC18 VA785 13

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D) Spousal Continuation Option Instead of Death Benefit. Unless the Contract is subject to a Pre-selected Death Benefit Payment Option, a spouse who is a Joint Owner or Beneficiary of the deceased Owner, may elect to continue the Contract in his or her own name, at the current Contract Value, and exercise the Owner's rights under the Contract in lieu of taking the death benefit. For purposes of the Spousal Continuation Option, the "continuation date" is the date on which the Company receives the spouse's written request to elect the Spousal Continuation Option and Due Proof of the relevant death in Good Order at the Company's Service Center. This Spousal Continuation Option may be exercised only once, but may not be available if You designated a Pre-selected Death Benefit Payment Option. The Spousal Continuation Option is void in the event the original Contract Owner is no longer the Contract Owner or in the event the Contract has been assigned. Pre-selected Death Benefit Payment Option Election. Before the Income Date, You may designate the option according to which the Company will pay the death benefit from the death benefit payment options described in the Contract, or other death benefit payment options made available by the Company. You may do so by submitting a designation acceptable to the Company in Good Order to the Company's Service Center. Pre-selected Death Benefit Payment Options are effective only after being recorded by the Company. The Company will pay the death benefit consistent with Your Pre-selected Death Benefit Payment Option unless the Internal Revenue Code requires otherwise or Your election requires payment over a period that exceeds the Beneficiary's life expectancy. Only You may revoke or change a Pre-selected Death Benefit Payment Option. To do so, You must submit a request in a form acceptable to the Company to the Company's Service Center. Revocations and changes to a Pre-selected Death Benefit Payment Option are effective only after being recorded by the Company. ICC18 VA785 14

INCOME PROVISIONS INCOME DATE. Income Payments will begin on the Income Date. If You do not select an Income Date, the Income Date is the Latest Income Date. You may change the Income Date to any date that is not later than the Latest Income Date by submitting Written Notice in Good Order to the Company's Service Center at least seven (7) days before the Income Date. INCOME PAYMENT. On or before the Income Date, You can elect payment in a single lump sum. A single lump-sum payment is considered a total withdrawal and terminates the Contract. The Company will make payment to You or another payee You specify. Alternatively, You may elect an Income Option. The Company will apply the Contract Value, less any applicable taxes and other Contract charges, to provide You Fixed Annuity Payments or Variable Annuity Payments according to Your selected Income Option. If You do not choose how to receive Your Income Payments, Your Income Payments will be Variable Annuity Payments. Income Options. You may elect payment as provided in Options 1, 2, 3 or 4 below. You may elect an Income Option at any time before the Income Date and You can change an Income Option up to seven (7) days before the Income Date by submitting Written Notice in Good Order to the Company's Service Center. If You do not select an Income Option, the Company will make payments as provided in Option 3 below, with 120 months certain. The Company will make payments monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as You elect. However, if the Contract Value on the Income Date is less than $2,000, the Company may pay out the Contract Value in one (1) lump-sum payment instead of providing Income Payments according to the Income Option You elect. If the first monthly payment provided would be less than $20, the Company may make payments quarterly, semiannually or annually to achieve an initial payment of at least $20, or the Company may make one (1) single lump-sum payment. Income Payments at the time of their commencement will not be less than those that would be provided by the application of an equivalent amount to purchase a single premium immediate annuity contract from the Company at purchase rates the Company offered on the Income Date to annuitants in the same class as the Annuitant. YOU MAY NOT TAKE WITHDRAWALS DURING ANY PERIOD THE COMPANY IS MAKING PAYMENTS FOR AN ANNUITANT'S LIFETIME. OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME. A monthly payment for the Annuitant's lifetime. All payments end upon the Annuitant's death. However, in the event of the Annuitant's death before the first monthly payment, the Company will pay the amount allocated to this Income Option to You or, if You are deceased, to Your Beneficiary. OPTION 2 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR INCOME. A monthly payment for the longer of the Annuitant's lifetime or that of a second person You designate. Upon the occasion of the first person to die, monthly payments continue during the survivor's lifetime at either the full amount previously payable or as a percentage (either one-half or two-thirds) of the full amount, as You select at the time You elect the Income Option. If reduced Income Payments to the survivor are desired, the Company will calculate Variable Annuity Payments using either one-half or two-thirds of the number of Annuity Units for each Investment Division comprising the Variable Annuity Payments payable during the joint life of the Annuitant and the designated second person. The Company will calculate Fixed Annuity Payments equal to either one-half or two-thirds of the Fixed Annuity Payment payable during the joint life of the Annuitant and the designated second person. ICC18 VA785 15

INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D) All payments end upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant. However, in the event of the deaths of the Annuitant and the designated second person before the first monthly payment, the Company will pay the amount allocated to this Income Option to You or, if You are deceased, Your Beneficiary. OPTION 3 - LIFE INCOME WITH 120 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED. A monthly payment for the Annuitant's lifetime with the guarantee that the Company will make no fewer than 120 or 240 monthly payments to You. If, at the Annuitant's death, fewer than the guaranteed number of payments have been made, the remaining guaranteed payments will be made to You as previously scheduled. In the event You die before the Company makes the specified number of guaranteed payments, Your Beneficiary may elect to continue to receive the Income Payments according to the terms of this Contract, or alternatively may elect to receive the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments in a single lump-sum payment, the amount of which the Company will calculate using the interest rate the Company originally used to determine the payments upon annuitization. OPTION 4 - INCOME FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD. A monthly payment for any whole number of years ranging from 5 to 30. In the event You die before the Company makes the specified number of payments, Your Beneficiary may elect to continue to receive the Income Payments according to the terms of this Contract, or alternatively may elect to receive the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments in a single lump-sum payment, the amount of which the Company will calculate using the interest rate the Company originally used to determine the payments upon annuitization. ADDITIONAL INCOME OPTIONS. The Company may make available other Income Options. FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS. The Company will determine Fixed Annuity Payments by applying annuity rates consistent with the age and sex (unless unisex rates apply) of the Annuitant and, if applicable, the designated second person, to the portion of the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Annuity Payment options, less any applicable taxes and other Contract charges. Annuity rates applied will not be less than the rates provided in the Contract's Table of Income Options. Once begun, the Company will not change the amount of the Fixed Annuity Payments, except upon the first death between the Annuitant and the designated second person under Option 2. VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS. The Company will determine the initial Variable Annuity Payment by applying annuity rates consistent with the age and sex (unless unisex rates apply) of the Annuitant and, if applicable, the designated second person, to the portion of the Contract Value allocated to the Variable Annuity Payment options, less any applicable taxes and other Contract charges. Annuity rates applied will not be less than the rates provided in the Contract's Table of Income Options. ICC18 VA785 16

INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D) The Company will determine the second and subsequent Variable Annuity Payments in two (2) steps. First, the Company will divide the initial Variable Annuity Payment by the Annuity Unit Value calculated on the Income Date to establish a number of Annuity Units. Second, the Company will multiply that number of Annuity Units by the Annuity Unit Value determined on the Business Day next preceding the date on which each payment is due. The result of each calculation determines the Variable Annuity Payment due. Once Variable Annuity Payments have begun, the number of Annuity Units remains constant absent a reallocation between the Investment Divisions. Variable Annuity Payments are not affected by expenses other than taxes. The Contract Data Pages specify the minimum investment return Your Investment Division(s) must earn to avoid a decrease in the dollar amount of Variable Annuity Payments. Annuity Unit Value. The Company sets the initial value of an Annuity Unit of each Investment Division when the Company establishes the Investment Division. The Annuity Unit Value reflects the investment performance of an Investment Division and may increase or decrease from one Business Day to the next. The Contract's Table of Income Options assumes the net investment rates described in the Contract's Basis of Computation provision. Therefore, if an Investment Division's actual net investment rate is greater than or less than the assumed net investment rate, Variable Annuity Payments will increase or decrease accordingly over time. The Company calculates each Investment Division's Annuity Unit Value for any Business Day in two (2) steps: First, the Company multiplies the immediately preceding Business Day's Annuity Unit Value by the Business Day's "net investment factor" determined on the day of the calculation. The Company determines the "net investment factor," which reflects changes in the Investment Division's net asset value, by dividing the value established at (1) below by the value established at (2) below, where: (1) Is the net result of: a. the Investment Division's net asset value at the end of the Business Day; plus b. the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution declared by the Investment Division if the "ex-dividend" date occurs on the Business Day; plus or minus c. a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes paid or reserved for by the Company which are determined by the Company to be attributable to the operation of the Investment Division (no federal income taxes are applicable under present law); and (2) Is the Investment Division's net asset value at the end of the preceding Business Day. ICC18 VA785 17

INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D) Second, the Company multiplies the result from the first step above by a factor equal to one over one plus the assumed net investment rate, raised to the number of calendar days between the previous Business Day and the current Business Day over the number of calendar days in the current year. The factor is expressed formulaically as follows: � 1 � � � 1 + 퐴퐼푅 where: AIR is the assumed net investment rate. t is the number of calendar days between the previous Business Day and the current Business Day. y is the number of calendar days in the current year. NATURAL OWNER'S DEATH AFTER THE INCOME DATE. Upon Your death or the death of any Joint Owner, who is not also an Annuitant, after the Income Date, Income Payments due continue as before. Upon Your death after the Income Date, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner. ANNUITANT'S DEATH AFTER THE INCOME DATE. Upon the death of the Annuitant after the Income Date, the death benefit, if any, will be as specified in the Income Option elected. Death benefits will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death. BENEFICIARY'S ENTITLEMENT TO INCOME PAYMENTS AFTER THE INCOME DATE. The Company will pay any remaining Income Payments due to any Primary Beneficiaries or, if none, to the Contingent Beneficiaries, in equal shares (the "default allocation") unless You have designated otherwise (the "designated allocation"). A Beneficiary that dies before or within ten (10) days (or different period as prescribed by applicable law) of Your death is not entitled to any remaining Income Payments due; in that circumstance, the Company will pay any remaining Income Payments due the deceased Beneficiary to surviving Beneficiaries in the same proportion as the designated allocation or, if applicable, the default allocation. If no Beneficiary survives You, the Company will pay any remaining Income Payments to Your estate. ICC18 VA785 18

TERMINATION PROVISION This Contract terminates and all Contract benefits will end on the earlier of: 1. the date You take a total withdrawal; 2. the date the Contract Value is zero or insufficient to pay Contract charges; or 3. the date upon which the Company receives Due Proof of the Owner's (or any Joint Owner's) death and a Beneficiary's election of a death benefit payment option in Good Order at its Service Center, unless the Contract is continued by the spouse under the Spousal Continuation Option.
