Income and Performance Death Benefit Combination Rider
This rider was issued because you selected the Performance Death Benefit and the
Income Benefit Combination.
As used in this rider, "Contract" means the Contract or Certificate to which
this rider is attached.
For purposes of this rider, "Rider Date" is the date this rider was issued as a
part of your Contract: xx/xx/xxxx
The following changes are made to your Contract.
Performance Death Benefit
The Death Benefit provision of your Contract is modified as follows:
If the Owner is a natural person, the Performance Death Benefit applies only to
the death of the Owner. If the Owner is not a natural person, the Performance
Death Benefit applies only to the death of the Annuitant. This is unlike the
death benefit defined in the Death Benefit provision of your Contract which may
apply to the death of the Annuitant even if the Owner is a natural person.
The Death Benefit will be the greatest of the values stated in your Contract, or
the value of the Performance Death Benefit.
After the Rider Date, the Performance Death Benefit is recalculated when a
purchase payment or withdrawal is made or on a Contract anniversary as follows:
Death Benefit
- On the Rider Date, the Death Benefit is equal to the Contract value.
- After the Rider Date, the Death Benefit is recalculated when a purchase
payment or a withdrawal is made or on a Contract anniversary as
follows:
- For purchase payments for all ages, the Death Benefit is equal
to the most recently calculated Death Benefit plus the
purchase payment.
- For withdrawals for all ages, the Death Benefit is equal to
the most recently calculated Death Benefit reduced by a
withdrawal adjustment defined below.
- The Death Benefit will be recalculated for purchase payments,
for withdrawals and on Contract anniversaries until the first
Contract anniversary after the 85th birthday of the oldest
Owner or, if the Owner is not a living individual, the oldest
Annuitant.
In the absence of any withdrawals or purchase payments, the Death Benefit will
be the greater of the Contract value on the Rider Date and all Contract
anniversary Contract values between the Rider Date and the date we calculate the
Death Benefit.
Withdrawal Adjustment
The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (1) divided by (2) with the result
multiplied by (3) where:
(1) = the withdrawal amount.
(2) = the Contract value immediately prior to the withdrawal.
(3) = the most recently calculated Death Benefit, as applicable
Income Benefit Combination
The following is added to your Contract:
Qualifications
On the Payout Start Date, the Owner may choose to receive income payments
defined in the Income Benefit Combination provision if all of the following
conditions are met.
- The Owner elects a Payout Start date that is on or after the 10th
anniversary of the Rider Date;
- The Payout Start Date occurs during the 30 day period following the
Contract anniversary;
- The Income Base is applied to Fixed Account Income Payments or Variable
Amount Income Payments as we may permit from time to time for all owners
who choose to receive Income Payments under this rider; and
- The selected Income Plan provides payments guaranteed for either single or
joint life with a period certain of at least:
- 10 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is 80 or less on the date
the amount is applied, or
- 5 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is greater than 80 on the
date the amount is applied.
Throughout the PAYOUT PHASE section of your Contract, the term "Contract value"
is replaced with "The greater of the Contract value or the Income Benefit
Combination."
If the amount applied to an Income Plan is the Contract value, then the Income
Plan may be any plan then offered by us.
Income Base
The Income Base is the greater of Income Base A or Income Base B.
Income base is used solely for the purpose of calculating the Income Benefit
Combination and does not provide a Contract value or guarantee performance of
any investment option.
Income Base A.
- On the Rider Date, Income Base A is equal to the Contract value.
- After the Rider Date, Income Base A is recalculated as follows on the
Contract anniversary and when a purchase payment or withdrawal is
made.
- For the purchase payments, Income Base A is equal to the most recently
calculated Income Base A plus the purchase payment.
- For withdrawals, Income Base A is equal to the most recently
calculated Income Base A reduced by a withdrawal adjustment.
- On each Contract anniversary, Income Base A is equal to the greater of
the Contract value or the most recently calculated Income Base A.
In the absence of any withdrawals or purchase payments, Income Base A will
be the greatest of the Contract value on the Rider Date and all Contract
anniversary Contract values between the Rider Date and the Payout Start
Date.
Income Base A will be recalculated for purchase payments, for withdrawals
and on Contract anniversaries until the first Contract anniversary after
the 85th birthday of the oldest Owner or, if no Owner is a living
individual, the oldest Annuitant.
After that date, Income Base A will be recalculated only for purchase
payments and withdrawals.
Income Base B.
On the Rider Date, Income Base B is equal to the Contract value. After the
Rider Date, Income Base B plus any subsequent purchase payments and less a
withdrawal adjustment for any subsequent withdrawals will accumulate daily
at a rate equivalent to 5% per year until the first Contract anniversary
after the 85th birthday of the oldest Owner or, if the Owner is not a
living individual, the oldest Annuitant.
Withdrawal Adjustment
The adjustment is equal to (1) divided by (2), with the result multiplied by (3)
where:
(1) = the withdrawal amount.
(2) = the Contract value immediately prior to the withdrawal.
(3) = the most recently calculated Income Base.
Guaranteed Income Benefit
The Guaranteed Income Benefit amount is determined by applying the Income Base
to the guaranteed rates for the Income Plan elected by the Owner. The Income
Plan selected must satisfy the conditions defined in Qualifications above. The
rates are the guaranteed rates defined in the Income Payment Tables section of
the Contract for either a single or joint life with a period certain.
On the Payout Start Date, the income payment will be the greater of the
Guaranteed Income Benefit and the income payment provided in the Payout Phase
section of the Contract.
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge provision of your Contract is modified as
follows:
On and after the Rider Date, the maximum annualized Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge is increased by 0.43% for this rider.
Except as amended by this rider, the Contract remains unchanged.
