ARTICLE II – GENERAL FEATURES

2.1

The terms of this Contract provide for a guaranteed income over the life of the Participant(s) based on the Certificate Owner’s Account Value provided all conditions specified in the Contract and corresponding Certificate are met. The Contract Owner maintains the Account on behalf of the Certificate Owner(s). We do not manage the Account. Should the Certificate Owner’s Account Value drop below the Withdrawal Guarantee or the minimum Account Value as shown on the Data Pages, and provided all other contractual terms are satisfied, we guarantee to make payments in the form of Guaranteed Income equal to the Withdrawal Guarantee. A Base Income is also available to the Certificate Owner. Payments will be made in accordance with the Income Plan shown on the Data Pages.

2.2.

Certain persons or entities have important roles in this Contract.

2.2.1

The Contract Owner is shown on the Data Pages. All ownership rights of the Contract belong to the Contract Owner. However, a Certificate Owner may exercise certain rights as specified in this Contract and the Certificate, or determined through the operation of law. The Contract Owner is the entity that is responsible for managing the asset allocation model(s) and administering the Account on behalf of the Certificate Owner(s). This responsibility includes obtaining the Certificate Owner’s annuity election, if any, by the maximum annuity age as shown on the Data Pages. The Contract Owner is responsible for delivering to us the Certificate Owner’s fees assessed under the Contract and Certificate, as well as any Premium. The Contract Owner will provide all data and records needed for us to administer the Contract and Certificate and to meet our regulatory requirements.

2.2.2

The Certificate Owner(s) is the person or entity named on the Certificate who owns the assets of the Account. If the Certificate Owner(s) is an individual, he or she must be a named Participant on the Certificate Date. For each Certificate, an individual(s) must be designated as a named Participant(s).

2.2.3

The Participant or Joint Participant is the person(s) named on the Certificate Data Pages whose age is used in determining the Guaranteed Income. Neither the Participant or Joint Participant can be changed once named. Except as provided in this Contract for Qualified Accounts, any limitations on Joint Participants are shown on the Data Pages.

2.2.4

During the payout phase, upon the death of the last surviving Participant, the Beneficiary receives any remaining income.

2.2.5

If a trust is named as the Certificate Owner(s) or Beneficiary and subsequently exercises ownership rights or claims benefits, we have no obligation to verify that a trust is valid and in effect. We will have no obligation to verify that the trustee is acting within the scope of his or her authority. Payment of any benefits to the trustee or trust will release us from all obligations under the Certificate to the extent of the payment. When we make a payment, we will have no obligation to ensure that such payment is applied according to the terms of the trust agreement.

MP7170 5/07 VA

2.3

The Withdrawal Guarantee for each Certificate is established on its Certificate Date and is adjusted according to the terms of this Contract and the Certificate. At all times the Account Value must be allocated to one or more asset allocation model(s) shown on the Data Pages. The Certificate Owner is required to conduct all trading activity for their Account through a broker-dealer or registered investment adviser approved by the Contract Owner. An allocation of the Account by the Certificate Owner(s) inconsistent with the asset allocation model(s) as shown on the Data Pages may result in immediate suspension and eventual termination of the Certificate as described in the General Provisions section under Suspension and Termination.

2.4

Withdrawals covered by the Withdrawal Guarantee may begin on or after the younger of the Participant or any Joint Participant reaches the withdrawal age as shown on the Data Pages. The Withdrawal Guarantee may be reduced if any Withdrawals are taken prior to that date. The Withdrawal Guarantee may be reduced on or after the Withdrawal Exercise Date if any Withdrawals in a Withdrawal Year exceed the Withdrawal Guarantee.

2.5

The Certificate Owner(s) will be charged an asset charge as stated in the Data Pages. Failure to pay the asset charge will be deemed an election to terminate the Certificate. The Certificate Owner(s) may elect to terminate the Certificate at any time without additional charge. If the Participant(s) die(s) prior to the Annuity Date, the Certificate terminates.

2.6

The Guaranteed Income benefit provided under this Contract can be lost, in whole or in part, if, for any reason, the Contract Owner does not follow the investment policy guidelines during the funding phase.

Funding Phase. The funding phase for the Certificate Owner(s) starts on the Certificate Date. During the funding phase the Certificate Owner(s) may contribute to the Account to accumulate assets for retirement or other purposes. The Contract Owner is responsible for managing the Account. The Account must be managed in accordance with the asset allocation model(s) as shown on the Data Pages. The Certificate Owner(s) may take Withdrawals from the Account at any time in any amount. However, Withdrawals before the younger of the Participant or any Joint Participant reaches the withdrawal age as shown on the Data Pages, will reduce the Withdrawal Guarantee. On or after the withdrawal age as shown on the Data Pages, Withdrawals within Certificate limitations will not reduce the Withdrawal Guarantee.

2.7

Payout Phase. The payout phase begins as of the Annuity Date. The Certificate Owner(s) will authorize transfer of the Account Value to us as of the Annuity Date and we will begin making income payments. We will continue to make payments to the Certificate Owner(s) while any Participant is living. There are two income provisions: Guaranteed Income and Base Income. Only one income provision may be elected per Certificate. Guaranteed Income payments start if the Account Value falls below the minimum Account Value as shown on the Data Pages or the Withdrawal Guarantee, or if the younger of the Participant or any Joint Participant reaches the maximum annuity age shown on the Data Pages. The Certificate Owner(s) has the right at any time prior to the Annuity Date to elect Base Income by transferring the Account Value to us.

Withdrawal Guarantee During the First Withdrawal Year

4.6.1

If, on the Certificate Date the younger of the Participant and any Joint Participant is older than the withdrawal age as shown on the Data Pages, any Withdrawal taken in the first Withdrawal Year will cause the Withdrawal Guarantee to be adjusted prorata for the number of days between the Certificate Date and the next Birthday.

(a)

is the unadjusted Withdrawal Guarantee;

(b)

is the number of days between the Certificate Date and the next Birthday; and

(a)

minus (b), where:

Guaranteed Income after the first Annuity Year is equal to the Withdrawal Guarantee on the Latest Annuity Date.

6.2.5

Payments will be made annually on the Birthday in accordance with the Income Plan as shown on the Data Pages. Other modes of payment may be made available to the Certificate Owner(s). However, if any payment made more frequently than annually would be less than $100, we reserve the right to reduce the frequency of payments to an interval that would result in each payment being at least $100.

6.2.6

If the Certificate Owner(s) notifies us in writing of their intent to cancel the guarantee within the Notice Period, the Certificate will terminate. If the Contract Owner fails to deliver the Premium, the Guaranteed Income payments may be delayed until Premium is delivered to us.

7.2

Cessation of New Business

7.2.1

The Contract Owner may close the Contract to new certificate owners at any time with [60] days prior written notice to us. We may close the Contract to new Certificates upon written notice to the Contract Owner. Such action would be without prejudice to the rights of existing Certificate Owners.

7.3

Right to Refuse Additions

7.3.1

Additionally, we reserve the right to suspend the acceptance of Additions to issued Certificates upon written notice to the Contract Owner and Certificate Owners.

7.4

Suspension

7.4.1

We reserve the right to suspend the Contract in whole or in part if any of the following events occur:

(a)

non-compliance with any provision of this Contract;

(b)

non-compliance with the asset allocation model;

(c)

violation of any rights or obligations imposed by law as determined by governing regulatory and/or judicial bodies; or

(d)

upon the occurrence of any additional Contract suspension event as shown on the Data Pages.

7.4.2

We will provide the Contract Owner with written notice that one of these events has occurred. The notice will indicate the scope of the suspension and the date the suspension will begin. The suspension will not take effect if the cause is cured within the pre-suspension cure period as shown on the Data Pages in a mutually acceptable manner. Additions may be restricted due to the suspension as indicated in the notice. Contract suspension will not change or suspend the calculation of benefits or charges.

7.4.3

If the Contract is suspended, we will provide Certificate Owners with written notification of the suspension. Certificate Owners will have the right, during the suspension cure period, to preserve the Withdrawal Guarantee by transferring their Account Values to a third party account insured by us or to an annuity contract we, or one of our affiliates offer. Upon such transfer the Contract Owner agrees not to charge any fees for the transfer. The Withdrawal Guarantee transferred shall be equal to the Withdrawal Guarantee on the Valuation Day of the transfer.

7.5

Individual Certificate Suspension

7.5.1

Once during the duration of their Certificate, if the Contract Owner notifies us that a Certificate Owner has transferred their Account Value to an allocation model offered by the Contract Owner but not listed on the Data Pages, the Certificate will not be terminated, but will instead be suspended. We will notify the Certificate Owner that the suspension has occurred and that it will last until the end of the suspension cure period as shown on the Data Pages. During the suspension cure period, the Certificate Owner may cure the suspension by transferring their Account Value to an allocation model listed on the Data Pages. Following such a transfer, the Withdrawal Guarantee will be recalculated on the Valuation Day following the suspension cure period using the Account Value multiplied by the current Withdrawal Guarantee Factor for the Attained Age. This calculation will occur as of the Valuation Day following the end of the suspension cure period regardless of on which day during the cure period the transfer of

MP7170 5/07 VA

Account Value occurs. If the Certificate Owner fails to transfer their Account Value to an allocation model listed on the Data Pages by the end of the suspension cure period, the Certificate will terminate.

7.5.2

If an Addition is made to a Certificate Owner’s Account which exceeds the Account Limit, or if an Addition causes the Certificate Owner’s Account to exceed the Account Limit, the Certificate will be suspended. During the suspension cure period, in the case of an Account which was already over the Account Limit, the Certificate Owner may cure the suspension by withdrawing the entire Addition. In the case of an Addition which caused the Account to exceed the Account Limit, the Certificate Owner may cure the suspension by withdrawing the portion of the Account Value exceeding the Account Limit. In neither case will there be an Early or Excess Withdrawal. If the suspension cure period ends without such corrective action, the Certificate will remain suspended until the amount needed to cure the suspension is withdrawn from the Account. In this case, Early Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals apply. Until the suspension is lifted, asset charges will apply to the greater of the Account Limit and the Account Value prior to the Addition.

7.6

Termination

7.6.1

We reserve the right to terminate the Contract if any of the following events occur:

(a)

the Contract Owner discontinues administration of this Contract without arranging for a successor acceptable to us;

(b)

the Contract Owner fails to cure the cause of a Contract suspension within the suspension cure period as shown on the Data Pages;

(c)

there is a violation of any material rights or obligations imposed by law as determined by governing regulatory and/or judicial bodies; or

(d)

upon the occurrence of any additional Contract termination event as shown on the Data Pages.

7.6.2

We will provide the Contract Owner with written notice that one of these events has occurred. The notice will state the reason(s) for the termination and that we intend to terminate the Contract at the end of the Contract termination cure period as shown on the Data Pages. The termination will not take effect if the cause is cured in a mutually acceptable manner prior to the intended termination date. We will provide Certificate Owners with written notification of Contract termination. During the termination cure period the Certificate Owners will have the right to preserve the Withdrawal Guarantee by transferring their Account Values to a third party account insured by us or to an annuity contract we, or one of our affiliates, offer. Upon such transfer the Contract Owner agrees not to charge any fees for the transfer. The Withdrawal Guarantee transferred shall be equal to the Withdrawal Guarantee on the Valuation Day of the transfer. Termination will not affect any Certificates in the payout phase. Upon termination all remaining Certificates in the funding phase will terminate.

7.6.3

We may establish a higher Withdrawal Guarantee for certain Certificates under this Contract in order to accommodate a transfer of a Withdrawal Guarantee from a suspended or terminated contract that we insured.

MP7170 5/07 VA

7.7

Entire Contract

7.7.1

This Contract is a legal contract between the named Contract Owner, us and the named Certificate Owners and no one else. This Contract is the entire contract. An agent cannot change this Contract. Any change to the Contract must be in writing and approved by us. Only an authorized officer of the Company can give our approval. This Contract will be construed according to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is issued, as shown on the Data Pages.

7.7.2

We may amend the Contract when, in our opinion, it is necessary to protect us from any of the following: (i) adverse financial impact due to any modification of the investment policy; (ii) adverse financial impact due to changes in the investment policy practices; (iii) changes in investment policy options; and (iv) upon the occurrence of a Contract amendment event as shown on the Data Pages.

7.8

Income Tax Qualification

7.8.1

Each Certificate is intended to qualify for tax treatment as an annuity contract under Section 72 of the Code. With respect to an Account other than a Qualified Account, if a Certificate Owner dies during the funding phase and the surviving spouse does not become the sole Certificate Owner, the Certificate will immediately terminate. Death of the Participant or Joint Participant will terminate the Certificate if the Certificate Owner is a non-natural person. This will satisfy the requirement in Section 72(s)(1)(B) of the Code that the entire interest of such holder in the Contract be distributed within 5 years after death. If a Certificate Owner dies during the payout phase, Section 72(s) is satisfied by the Continuation of Income Payments provision and the Death Provisions included in the Certificate. The Contract provisions will be interpreted to preserve the intended tax treatment. We reserve the right to amend this Contract as needed to maintain its tax status under the Code. We will send the Contract Owner a copy of any amendment.

7.8.2

If the Account is a Qualified Account per the Qualified Accounts provision, this Contract is intended to qualify for tax treatment under Section 401(g) of the Code.

7.9

Qualified Accounts

7.9.1

If the Account is a Qualified Account maintained pursuant to an eligible retirement plan defined in Code section 402(c)(8)(B), a plan under Code section 457(b) or other plans subject to Section 401(g), only a single person or entity may be named as Certificate Owner. For a Qualified Account, the Participant will be the individual for whose benefit the Account is maintained under the plan or arrangement. The Joint Participant, if any, of a Qualified Account must be the Participant’s spouse. If the Participant dies during the funding phase and the sole beneficiary of the Account is not the Joint Participant, the

MP7170 5/07 VA

Certificate will terminate upon the Participant’s date of death. A former spouse may be a Joint Participant when required by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, as defined in Code section 414(p). The Contract Owner will provide us with notice if the Participant dies during the funding phase and the Beneficiary of the Qualified Account is not the Joint Participant.

7.9.2

For any Qualified Account, the Certificate may not be sold, assigned, discounted or pledged. The Certificate (i) cannot be used as collateral for a loan; (ii) cannot be used as security for the performance of an obligation; and (iii) cannot be alienated for any other purpose.

7.12

Misstatement of Age or Account Value

If any Participant or Joint Participant’s age or Birthday is misstated, any Certificate benefits will be re-determined using the correct age(s). If any overpayments have been made, future payments will be adjusted. Any underpayments will be paid in full.
