When will this contract become incontestable?
This contract is incontestable from its date of issue.
What if benefits are based on incorrect data?
If the amount of benefits is determined by data as to a person's age or sex that

Any underpayments made by us will be made up immediately. Any overpayments made
by us will be subtracted from the future payments under this contract and/or as
otherwise legally permissible.
What federal and state laws govern the contract?
This contract is intended to qualify as an annuity contract for Federal income
tax purposes. To that end, the provisions of this contract are to be interpreted
to ensure or maintain such tax qualification, despite any other provisions to
the contrary. We reserve the right to amend this contract to reflect any
clarifications that may be needed or are appropriate to maintain such
qualification or to conform the contract to any applicable changes in the tax
qualification requirements. We will send you a copy of any such amendments.
This contract is governed by the law of the state in which it is delivered. The

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
====================================
Owner
====================================

As long as the annuitant is living and unless otherwise provided in the
contract, you may exercise all rights and privileges in this contract or allowed
by us.
How can you change ownership for this contract?
You can change the ownership of this contract by written request on a form
approved by us. The change must be made while the annuitant is living. Once the
change is recorded by us, it will take effect as of the date of your request,
subject to any action taken or payment made by us before the recording.
Can you assign this contract as collateral?
Yes. While the annuitant is living, you can assign this contract or any interest
in it. Your interest and the interest of any beneficiary is subject to the
interest of the assignee. An assignment is not a change of ownership and an
assignee is not an owner as these terms are used in the contract. Any amounts
payable to the assignee will be paid in a single sum.
A copy of any assignment must be submitted to us at our corporate office. Any
assignment is subject to any action taken or payment made by us before the

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
====================================
Beneficiary and Payments to Beneficiary
====================================
What death benefits are paid if the annuitant or owner dies before settlement?
If the annuitant or owner dies before settlement while this contract is in
force, we will pay the beneficiary the accumulation value.
The above described payment will also be made upon the first to die if ownership
is in a joint tenancy except where spouses are joint owners with right of
survivorship and the surviving spousal joint owner elects to continue the
contract. For joint spousal ownership with rights of survivorship, the surviving
spouse is deemed the sole beneficiary superseding any other beneficiary
designation. The beneficiary may elect to receive payment any time within 5
years after the date of death of the annuitant.
Unless you have provided otherwise during the lifetime of the annuitant, the
beneficiary may elect by written request to have the amount payable applied
under the terms of the annuity payment plans section of this contract provided:
1. the beneficiary elects the plan within 60 days after we receive due proof of
death; and
2. payments begin no later than one year after the date of death; and
3. the plan provides equal or substantially equal payments over a period which
does not exceed the life of the beneficiary or the life expectancy of the
beneficiary.
In this event, the references to "annuitant" in the annuity payment plans
section of this contract will apply to the beneficiary.
Can you pre-elect an annuity payment plan for a beneficiary?
During their lifetime you may elect how the death benefit described herein is to
be paid under the contract in the event of death before the settlement date. Any
such election must be made on a form satisfactory to us. We must receive the
form in our corporate office prior to the first to die of the owner or
annuitant. In this event the death benefit shall be payable as so elected by
you, rather than the beneficiary. If for any reason such election does not
satisfy Internal Revenue Code section 72 distribution requirements, the election
will be void and the beneficiary will then be permitted to elect payment
pursuant to the provisions of the contract.
To whom are the death benefits payable?
Benefits will be paid equally to all primary beneficiaries surviving the
annuitant. If none survive, proceeds will be paid equally to all contingent
beneficiaries surviving the annuitant. If no beneficiary survives the annuitant,
we will pay the benefits to you, if living, otherwise to your estate.
Who is the beneficiary?
Beneficiaries are those you name, in a form satisfactory to us, to
receive the benefits of this contract if the owner or annuitant dies while this
contract is in force. You may change the beneficiary as provided below. If the
beneficiary has been changed, we will pay any benefits in accordance with your
last change of beneficiary request.
How do you change the beneficiary?
You may change the beneficiary any time while the annuitant is living by
satisfactory written request to us. Once the change is recorded by us, it will
take effect as of the date of your request, subject to any action taken or
payment made by us before the recording.
What are the rights of the beneficiary?
If the death benefit under this contract becomes payable to a beneficiary
(payee) under an Annuity Payment Plan, that payee shall have the right to name a
beneficiary. Any such request from the payee must be made on a form satisfactory
to us.
What is the spouse's option to continue this contract?
If the owner's death occurs prior to the settlement date, the owner's spouse, if
designated as sole beneficiary, may elect in writing to forego receipt of the
death benefit and instead continue this contract in force as its owner. The
election by the spouse must be made within 60 days after we receive due proof of
death.
What if the annuitant dies after settlement?
If the annuitant dies after settlement, the amount payable, if any, will be as
provided in the annuity payment plan then in effect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==================================
Accumulation Value,
==================================
==================================
Cash Surrender Value,
==================================
==================================
Market Adjusted Value
==================================
How is the accumulation value determined?
On the contract date the accumulation value of this contract is the purchase
payment. Thereafter interest accrues from day to day for the guarantee period at
the rate shown under contract data. This rate represents an effective annual
yield. At no time while the contract is in force shall interest accrue at a rate
less than 3% compounded annually. The accumulation value will be adjusted for
any amounts surrendered.
Are there premium tax charges?
We reserve the right to deduct an amount from the accumulation value of this
contract at the time that any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted
are payable.
If a tax is payable at the time of your purchase payment and we choose to not
deduct it at that time, we further reserve the right to deduct it at a later
date.
How are renewal guarantee periods determined?
At the end of any guarantee period, a renewal guarantee period will begin. We
will notify you in writing 45 days before the renewal guarantee period. Each
renewal guarantee period will be one year unless you elect a different length
from those offered at the time. We must receive your written request at least 15
days before the renewal date. The renewal guarantee period may never extend
beyond the settlement date.
The accumulation value on the renewal date will be equal to the accumulation
value at the end of the guarantee period just ending. This value will earn
interest at the renewal guarantee rate. Upon written request, within 45 days of
the renewal guarantee period, we will notify you of the renewal guarantee rate
then in effect for contracts renewing at that time. The actual renewal guarantee
rate will be determined on the renewal date.
What is the market adjusted value and how is it determined?
The market adjusted value is the accumulation value on any date before the end
of the current guarantee period adjusted by a formula. The formula adjustment
reflects the relationship between:
1. the interest rate we are then crediting for new contract sales and renewals
(Form 30484) for the time remaining in your contract's current guarantee
period; and
2. the guaranteed interest rate applicable to your contract's current guarantee
period.
The market adjusted value may be more or less than the accumulation value.
The market adjusted value formula is as follows:
market adjusted value = renewal value
(1 + ic + .0025)(N + t)
where: renewal value = the accumulation value at the end of your curren
guarantee period.
N = the number of complete contract years to the end
of your guarantee period.
t = the fraction of the contract year remaining to
the end of your contract year (for example, if 180
days remain in a 365 day contract year, t would be
.493)
ic = the current rate offered for new contract sales
and renewals (Form 30484) for the number of years
left in your guarantee period (straight line
interpolation between whole year rates). If N is
zero, ic is the rate for one year guarantee
periods.
The market value adjustment is as follows:
market value adjustment =
market adjusted value _ accumulation value
There will be no market value adjustment made on the last day of a guarantee
period.
Can you request surrender of any amounts under this contract before settlement?
Yes. By written request to us and subject to the rules below you may:
1. surrender this contract for the total cash surrender value;
2. partially surrender this contract for a part of the cash surrender value.
How is the cash surrender value determined?
The cash surrender value is the market adjusted value. On the last day of a
guarantee period, the cash surrender value is the accumulation value.
What are the rules for a surrender or partial surrender?
The amount surrendered and any applicable market value adjustment will be
deducted from the accumulation value of the contract on the date of surrender.
You may surrender all or a portion of the cash surrender value. However, the
accumulation value that remains after a partial surrender must be at least
$2,000. Any partial surrender must be at least $250.
The surrender payment will normally be mailed to you within seven days of the
receipt of your written request.
Upon surrender of this contract for the total cash surrender value, this
contract will terminate. We may require that you return this contract to our
corporate office before we pay the total cash surrender value.
Can we delay or suspend payment of a partial or full surrender?
We may defer payment of any partial or full surrender for a period not to exceed
6 months from the date we receive your surrender request or the period permitted
by state insurance law, if less. If we defer payment more than 30 days, we will
pay annual interest of at least 3% on the amount deferred.
Will you receive information about your contract values?
Yes. At least once a year we will send you a statement showing both the
accumulation value and the cash surrender value of this contract. The statement
will specify the market value adjustment used to determine the cash surrender
value. This statement will be based on any laws or regulations that apply.
We will also notify you 45 days before the end of a guarantee period concerning
renewal periods available and your right to surrender without a market value
adjustment on the last day of your guarantee period.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==================================
Annuity Payment Plans
==================================
When will annuity payments begin?
The first payment will be made as of the settlement date. Before payments begin,
we will require satisfactory proof that the annuitant is alive. We may also
require that you exchange this contract for a supplemental contract which
provides the annuity payments.
Can you change the settlement date?
Yes. Tell us the new date by written request. However, the settlement date
cannot be later than the later of:
1. the contract anniversary nearest the annuitant's 85th birthday; or
2. the 10th contract anniversary.
Also, if you select a new date, it must be at least 30 days after we receive
your written request at our corporate office.
What are the annuity payment plans?
There are different ways to receive annuity payments. We call these plans.
Plan A - This provides monthly annuity payments for the lifetime of the
annuitant. No payments will be made after the annuitant dies.
Plan B - This provides monthly annuity payments for the lifetime of the
annuitant with a guarantee by us that payments will be made for a period of at
least five, ten, or fifteen years. You must select the guaranteed period.
Plan C - This provides monthly annuity payments for the lifetime of the
annuitant with a guarantee by us that payments will be made for a certain number
of months. We determine the number of months by dividing the market adjusted
value applied under this plan by the amount of the monthly annuity payment.
Plan D - We call this a joint and survivor life annuity. Monthly payments will
be paid for the lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant. When either the
annuitant or joint annuitant dies, we will continue to make monthly payments for
the lifetime of the survivor. No payments will be paid after the death of both
the annuitant and joint annuitant.
Plan E - This provides monthly fixed dollar annuity payments for a period of
years. The period of years may be no less than 10 nor more than 30.
What are the requirements for selecting a plan?
By written request to us at least 30 days before the settlement date, you may
select the plan or change to another plan. If at least 30 days before the
settlement date we have not received at our corporate office your written
request to select a plan, we will make payments according to Plan B with
payments guaranteed for ten years.
If the amount to be applied to a plan is not at least $2,000, or if payments are
to be made to other than a natural person, we have the right to make a lump sum
payment of the cash surrender value.
How will payments be made?
Payments will be made by us by check. The check must be personally endorsed by
the payee or payees as well as the annuitant (or joint annuitant under Plan D).
If the annuitant or joint annuitant does not endorse the check, other evidence
must be furnished to show that the annuitant or joint annuitant is still alive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==================================
Table of Settlement Rates
==================================
What will be the amount of the monthly annuity payments?
If the settlement date is the last day of a guarantee period, the amount applied
to provide a payment will be the accumulation value on that date. The market
adjusted value is applied if the settlement date is not the last day of a
guarantee period. The amount applied to provide a payment will be the
accumulation value on the settlement date. The amount of each monthly annuity
payment for each $1,000 applied under any payment plan will be based on our
Table of Settlement Rates in effect at the time of the first payment. The
amounts will not be less than those shown in the table below.
The amount of such payments under plans A, B, and C will depend on the sex and
the adjusted age of the annuitant on the settlement date. The amount of such
payments under plan D will depend on the sex and the adjusted age of the
annuitant and the joint annuitant on the settlement date. Adjusted age means the
age on the annuitant's nearest birthday minus an "adjustment" based on the
calendar year of the birth of the annuitant as follows:
