MODIFIED SINGLE PREMIUM DEFERRED ANNUITY CONTRACT

In this Contract "you" or "your" refers to the Owner shown above. "We," "our," or "us" refers to ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

READ THIS CONTRACT CAREFULLY. This is a legal contract between you and us.

RIGHT TO EXAMINE AND RETURN THIS CONTRACT

You may return this Contract by mailing or delivering it to our Customer Service Center at the address shown above or to the producer through whom you purchased it within twenty days (or thirty days if this is a replacement contract as defined by applicable state regulation) after the date you receive it. If so returned, we will promptly pay you any portion of the Premium paid and not previously Surrendered as of the date the returned Contract is received by us. If you are unsure whether your Contract is a replacement contract, please contact us at our Customer Service Center at the phone number or address set forth above.

WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE BENEFITS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS CONTRACT UPON WRITTEN REQUEST. YOU MAY ALSO CALL OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AT [0-000-000-0000] FOR INQUIRIES, INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE.

Cash Surrender Values may increase based on the Strategy you have selected. You may allocate your Premium between the Fixed Rate Strategy and the Point-to-Point Cap Index Strategy. Under the Point-to-Point Cap Index Strategy contract values are affected by the performance of an external index, but the Contract does not directly participate in such external index or other equity investments.

The initial interest rate for the Fixed Rate Strategy is guaranteed for one year only.

If you Surrender all or a portion of the Accumulation Value of the Contract, Surrender Charges may apply. Surrender Charges, when applied, will reduce the amount paid to you. Surrender Charges will not apply under certain conditions (see Section 6.3).

This Contract is non-participating which means it will not pay dividends resulting from any of the surplus or earnings of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

3. INTRODUCTION TO THE CONTRACT

3.1 The Contract

This Contract and any attached application, amendments, or Endorsements constitute the entire contract between you and us. It is issued in consideration of the Initial Premium.

Only our President, a Vice President or Secretary is authorized to change or modify any of this Contract's terms, provisions or requirements. Any such change must be in writing. We may make changes to this Contract if required by law, including any changes necessary to continue to qualify such Contract as an annuity contract under applicable law. An Endorsement added to comply with applicable law does not require your consent but is subject to regulatory approval. Any such changes will apply uniformly to all contracts that are affected.

The provisions of this Contract shall, in all events, be construed to comply with applicable U.S. federal income tax requirements including the requirements of Section 72(s) of the Code.

3.2 The Owner

The Owner owns the Contract and is entitled to exercise the rights incident to ownership. You are the Owner of this Contract. There may be Joint Owners; however, if there is more than one Owner, both Owners must agree to any change or exercise of the rights under this Contract.

You may change the ownership of this Contract at any time prior to the Maturity Date. Any change, addition or deletion of an Owner is treated as a change of ownership. To change ownership, you must provide Notice to Us of such change. Change of ownership will take effect as of the date we receive Notice to Us.

3.3 The Annuitant

The Annuitant is the individual upon whose life the Annuity Payments are based. The Annuitant must be a natural person and is designated by you at the time this Contract is issued and cannot be changed. There may be two Annuitants.

In addition to the Annuitant, you may also name a Contingent Annuitant. The Contingent Annuitant cannot be changed while he or she is living.

If at the time of any Annuitant's death the Owner is not a natural person, the death of such Annuitant prior to the Maturity Date will be treated as the death of an Owner as described in Section 7.2.

If the Annuitants are not the Owners and all Annuitants die prior to the Maturity Date (and no Contingent Annuitant is named) and the Owner is a natural person, we will treat you or, if there are Joint Owners, the

youngest Owner, as the Annuitant if such youngest Owner has not attained age 85 as of the date of the Annuitant's death. Otherwise you must name an individual as an Annuitant who has not attained age 85.

3.4 The Beneficiary

The Beneficiary is an individual or entity designated by you to receive the Death Benefit. A Beneficiary’s status may be changed at any time prior to the Maturity Date unless you designate such Beneficiary as an Irrevocable Beneficiary. An Irrevocable Beneficiary cannot be changed without the consent of the Irrevocable Beneficiary. You may designate one or more (i) primary Beneficiaries and (ii) contingent Beneficiaries. These classes set the order under which the Death Benefit is paid. If all the primary Beneficiaries die before any Owner (or, if the Owner is not a natural person, any Annuitant), the contingent Beneficiary shall take the place of, and be deemed to be, the primary Beneficiary, and the Death Benefit will be paid to the contingent Beneficiary. If there are multiple Beneficiaries, the Death Benefit shall be paid in equal shares to all Beneficiaries in the same class (primary or contingent, as applicable) unless you provide Notice to Us directing otherwise.

If there are Joint Owners, at the death of the first Owner, any surviving Owner shall take the place of, and be deemed to be, the primary Beneficiary. This will override any other Beneficiary designation.

IU-IA-3090

If there is a single natural Owner and all Beneficiaries die before the Owner, or if no Beneficiary has been designated at the time of the Owner’s death, the Owner’s estate will be deemed to be the primary Beneficiary.

If the Owner is not a natural person and all Beneficiaries die before any Annuitant, or if no Beneficiary has been designated at the time of any Annuitant's death, the Owner will be deemed to be the primary Beneficiary.

We will deem any Beneficiary to have predeceased the Owner if: (1) such Beneficiary died at the same time as the Owner;

(2) such Beneficiary died within twenty-four hours after the Owner's death; or

(3) there is not sufficient evidence to determine that the Beneficiary and Owner died other than at the same time.

To make a Beneficiary change, you must provide Notice to Us. Unless you specify otherwise, such change cancels any existing Beneficiary designations in the same class (primary or contingent) and will take effect as of the date Notice to Us is received.

The rights of any Beneficiary (if a natural person), including an Irrevocable Beneficiary, will end if he or she dies prior to the Owner and will pass to any other Beneficiary (which, if a natural person, must be then living) as described in this Section 3.4 unless you provide Notice to Us directing otherwise.

IU-IA-3090

4. PREMIUMS

4.1 Premiums

The Initial Premium for this Contract is required to put this Contract into effect. The amount of the Initial Premium is shown on the first page of this Contract.

We retain the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse to accept any Additional Premium. Subject to our right to refuse and return any Additional Premium, you may pay Additional Premiums prior to the first Contract Anniversary.

Any Additional Premium must be received at our Customer Service Center at the address shown on the first page of this Contract and are subject to the following limitations: (1) Each payment of Additional Premium must be at least $5,000.

(2) The sum of all Premiums paid or the Accumulation Value under all annuity contracts you have with us, including this Contract, is less than $1,000,000.

4.2 Allocating Strategies

You select the Strategy and Index, if applicable, to which to allocate your Premiums from among those offered by us. Your selection of Strategy and Index, if applicable, for any Additional Premium payments will be at the same Premium Allocation Percentage as your Initial Premium, unless you provide Notice to Us directing otherwise. You may reallocate all or a portion of the Accumulation Value, attributable to that Allocation Anniversary in any Strategy and/or Index to any other available Strategy and/or Index by providing Notice to Us. You may do so only during the 30-day period following an Allocation Anniversary. No Surrender Charge will apply. The Reallocation from each Strategy and Index is taken on a last in first out basis. Such Reallocations are effective on the Allocation Anniversary immediately preceding the Reallocation and interest will be applied as though the Reallocation was in effect on such Allocation Anniversary. Reallocation requests must be in a form acceptable to us.

We may cease to accept Additional Premium payments to any specific Index at any time at our discretion.

In addition, we may cease to accept Reallocations to any specific Index, or cease to permit Accumulation Value from continuing to be applied to any specific Index at the applicable Allocation Anniversary under the following circumstances: (1) The Index is discontinued or its composition is substantially changed, or our agreement with the sponsor of the Index is terminated; or (2) We determine that conditions in the capital markets do not permit us to effectively establish reasonable Index Caps applicable to the Point-to-Point Cap Index Strategy.

We will notify you in advance of the date on which we will cease accepting Additional Premiums or Reallocations to an Index or cease to permit Accumulation Value from continuing to be applied to any specific Index at the applicable Allocation Anniversary. If you do not provide Notice to Us regarding the Reallocation of Accumulation Value from a discontinued Index, the Accumulation Value applicable to the discontinued Index will be reallocated to the Fixed Rate Strategy at the next Allocation Anniversary applicable to Accumulation Value allocated to the discontinued Index.

IU-IA-3090

5. STRATEGIES

5.1 Strategies

You select the Strategy and Index, if applicable, for which any portion of Premiums and Reallocations are allocated, subject to the terms of this Contract. We reserve the right to add Indexes as approved by the insurance supervisory official in the jurisdiction in which the Contract is issued.

We may cease to offer a specific Index or cease to accept Premiums and/or Reallocations to a specific

Index at any time. Any Additional Premiums and Reallocations accepted or continued application of amounts to any Strategy and Index are subject to the terms and conditions in existence for any Strategy and Index available at that time, including the then existing Fixed Rate Strategy Interest Rate and Index Caps which may differ from those applicable to previous allocations or Reallocations.

Surrenders are taken on a last in first out basis and in the same proportion as the Accumulation Value associated with the Strategy and any applicable Index relative to the total Accumulation Value.

5.2 Fixed Rate Strategy

Fixed Rate Strategy Interest Rates

In our discretion, we determine and set the Fixed Rate Strategy Interest Rate. The Initial Fixed Rate Strategy Interest Rate is stated in the Contract Schedule. The Fixed Rate Strategy Interest Rate will be declared annually and in advance and is guaranteed for one year unless the Premium or Reallocation of Accumulation Value is reallocated to another strategy. The Fixed Rate Strategy Interest Rate will be at least equal to the Fixed Rate Strategy Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate shown on the Contract Schedule.

Fixed Rate Strategy Accumulation Value

The Accumulation Value for the Fixed Rate Strategy equals the sum of the Accumulation Value associated with each Premium and Reallocation allocated to this Strategy. Each Premium and Reallocation allocated to this Strategy will have an associated Accumulation Value which will be calculated as follows: (1) On each Allocation Date the Accumulation Value for each Premium or Reallocation equals the amount of Premium or Reallocation allocated to this Strategy, if any, less any premium tax, if applicable.

(2) On each Allocation Anniversary the Accumulation Value associated with each Premium or Reallocation allocated to this Strategy equals:

(a)	The Accumulation Value of the Premium or Reallocation allocated to this Strategy on the last Allocation Anniversary; less
(b)	Any Reallocations out of the Accumulation Value of the Premium or Reallocation allocated to this Strategy since the last Allocation Anniversary; less
(c)	Adjustments for any partial Surrenders of Accumulation Value of the Premium or Reallocation allocated to this Strategy since the last Allocation Anniversary; plus
(d)	Interest credited daily.

For the purpose of this calculation, during the first Allocation Year, the Allocation Date shall be deemed to be “the last Allocation Anniversary.”

Interest will be compounded daily in a manner to yield the declared annual Fixed Rate Strategy Interest Rate.

The portion of any Additional Premium or Reallocations allocated to this Strategy will be credited an interest rate declared in advance by us. The initial interest rate applicable to the Initial Premium is also shown in the Contract Schedule.

In case of full or partial Surrender, interest will be credited on the portion of this Strategy’s Accumulation Value Surrendered up to and including the date the transaction is processed. The Accumulation Value of this Strategy at any date within an Allocation Year will be determined by us with allowance for the time elapsed in the Allocation Year. No interest will be credited on any premium tax after we deduct it.

IU-IA-3090

5.3 Point-to-Point Cap Index Strategy

The following definitions apply to the Point-to-Point Cap Index Strategy:

Index Change is calculated as (i)/(ii)-1, where:

(i)	is the Index Number as of the end of the Indexing Period; and
(ii)	is the Index Number as of the start of the Indexing Period.

The Index Change is calculated separately for each Index.

Index Credit. We will apply the Index Credit to each Premium and Reallocation allocated to the Point-to-Point Index Cap Strategy. The Index Credit will equal the lesser of the Index Cap or the Index Change. The Index Credit will never be less than zero.

Index Number. Each Allocation of Premium and Reallocation will be assigned an Index Number equal to the value of the Index as of the close of business on the day before the Allocation Date. The Index Number for the start of each applicable Indexing Period after the first Indexing Period will be the Index Number as of the end of the Business Day before the Allocation Anniversary. If the Index Number is not published on any day for which a calculation is made, the first preceding published Index Number will be used.

Indexing Period. Each Allocation of Premium and Reallocation has its own specific Indexing Period. The initial Indexing Period for each Premium or Reallocation begins on the Allocation Date for that Premium or Reallocation and ends on the day before the following Allocation Anniversary. Subsequent Indexing Periods begin on the Allocation Anniversary and end on the day before the next Allocation Anniversary.

Point-to-Point Cap Index Strategy Accumulation Value

The Accumulation Value for this Strategy equals the sum of the Accumulation Value associated with each Premium and Reallocation allocated to an Index in the Strategy. Each Premium and Reallocation allocated to an Index in this Strategy will have an associated Accumulation Value which will be calculated as follows: (1) On each Allocation Date the Accumulation Value for each Premium or Reallocation equals the amount of Premium or Reallocation allocated to an Index in this Strategy, if any, less any premium tax, if applicable.

(2) On each Allocation Anniversary the Accumulation Value associated with each Premium or Reallocation allocated to an Index in this Strategy equals:

(a)	The Accumulation Value of the Premium or Reallocation allocated to an Index on the last Allocation Anniversary; less
(b)	Any Reallocations out of the Accumulation Value of the Premium or Reallocation allocated to an Index since the last Allocation Anniversary; less
(c)	Adjustments for any partial Surrenders of Accumulation Value of the Premium or Reallocation

allocated to an Index since the last Allocation Anniversary; plus (d) The result multiplied by (1+ the applicable Index Credit)

For the purpose of this calculation, on the first Allocation Anniversary the Allocation Date shall be deemed to be "the last Allocation Anniversary." (3) On any other date during the applicable Allocation Year, the Accumulation Value associated with each Premium or Reallocation allocated to an Index in this Strategy is calculated as follows:

6. CONTRACT VALUES

6.1 The Accumulation Value

On the Contract Date, the Contract’s Accumulation Value equals the Initial Premium paid less any premium tax, if applicable. At any time after the Contract Date, the Contract’s Accumulation Value equals the sum of the Accumulation Value for each Allocation of Premium and Reallocation to a Strategy and associated Index, where applicable. The Accumulation Value for each Strategy and Index is calculated separately as set forth in Section 5 of this Contract.

6.2 The Cash Surrender Value

The Cash Surrender Value of this Contract equals the greater of:

(1) The Minimum Guaranteed Contract Value (as defined in the Contract Schedule); or (2) The Accumulation Value, less any Surrender Charge.

6.3 Charges

Surrender Charge

Except as described below, if the Contract is Surrendered, in full or in part, while the Surrender Charge schedule shown in the Contract Schedule is in effect a Surrender Charge will be imposed as a percentage of Accumulation Value Surrendered. The percentage imposed at the time of Surrender depends on the number of complete years that have elapsed since Contract issue. Surrender Charges are shown in the Contract Schedule.

No Surrender Charges will be assessed upon:

(1) the commencement of Annuity Payments if Annuity Payments begin after the seventh Contract Year; (2) any Surrender of Accumulation Value less than or equal to the Surrender Charge Free Amount; or (3) any Surrender of the Accumulation Value after the seventh Contract Year.

If total Surrenders in any Contract Year exceed the Surrender Charge Free Amount, any applicable Surrender Charges will apply to the amount Surrendered that is in excess of the Surrender Charge Free Amount.

Waiver of Surrender Charges due to Extended Medical Care or Terminal Condition

We will waive any Surrender Charges otherwise applicable if you Surrender, in full or in part, because you are receiving Extended Medical Care or if you are diagnosed with a Terminal Condition.

To qualify for a waiver as a result of Extended Medical Care:

(1) You (or any Annuitant, if the Owner is not a natural person) must first begin receiving Extended Medical Care on or after the first Contract Anniversary and receive such Extended Medical Care for at least forty-five days during any continuous sixty day period; and (2) Your request for a Surrender, together with satisfactory proof of such Extended Medical Care, must be provided by Notice to Us during the term of such Extended Medical Care or within ninety days after the last day that you received such Extended Medical Care. Such proof must be in writing and, where applicable, attested to by a Qualifying Medical Professional.

To qualify for a waiver as a result of a Terminal Condition:

(1) You (or any Annuitant, if the Owner is not a natural person) must first be diagnosed by a Qualifying Medical Professional as having a Terminal Condition on or after the first Contract Anniversary; and (2) Your request for a Surrender, together with satisfactory proof of such Terminal Condition, must be provided in a Notice to Us. Such proof must be in writing and, where applicable, attested to by a Qualifying Medical Professional.

We may, at any time and at our expense, require a secondary medical opinion by a Qualifying Medical Professional of our choosing in connection with (i) the prescription of Extended Medical Care, or (ii) the diagnosis of a Terminal Condition.

Premium Tax

We may deduct from the Accumulation Value, as applicable, the amount of any premium tax or other state and local taxes levied by any state or local government entity when: (1) such premium tax is incurred by us; or

(2) the Proceeds or Cash Surrender Value, as applicable, is applied to an Annuity Plan as described in Section 7.3.

We have the right to change the amount we charge for any premium tax to conform to changes in applicable law or if you change your state of residence. Any premium taxes will be deducted on a last in first out basis and on a pro rata basis from the Strategy and Index.

IU-IA-3090

7. CONTRACT BENEFITS

7.1 Contract Surrender

On or at any time prior to the Maturity Date you may Surrender the Contract in full for its Cash Surrender Value. To do so you must provide Notice to Us, as defined in Section 2, which we must receive no later than the Maturity Date. If we receive your Notice to Us before the close of business on any Business Day, the Cash Surrender Value will be determined at the close of business on such Business Day; otherwise, the Cash Surrender Value will be determined as of the close of the next Business Day. We may require that this Contract be returned to us before we pay you the Cash Surrender Value. If you have lost the Contract, we may require that you complete and return to our Customer Service Center a lost contract form. Upon payment of the Cash Surrender Value, this Contract shall cease to have any further value.

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, you may also Surrender a portion of the Contract's Accumulation Value. The minimum amount that may be Surrendered at any one time is the lesser of: (i) $1,000; or (2) the Surrender Charge Free Amount. A partial Surrender will be deemed to be a full Surrender and the Cash Surrender Value will be paid if, at the time of the Surrender, the Cash Surrender Value is reduced to less than $2,500. Partial Surrenders will be taken on a last in first out basis and on a pro rata basis from the Strategy and Index.

7.2 The Death Benefit

If any Owner (or, if the Owner is not a natural person, any Annuitant) dies before the Maturity Date, the Death Benefit is payable to the Beneficiary as determined under Section 3.4. Only one Death Benefit is payable under this Contract. If there are multiple Beneficiaries, the Death Benefit will be paid in equal shares to all Beneficiaries in the same class (primary or contingent, as applicable) unless you provide Notice to Us directing otherwise.

The Death Benefit equals the Proceeds as of the date of death of the Owner or Annuitant, whichever is applicable. From the date of death until the Death Benefit is paid, the Death Benefit will be credited with interest at the greater of the Company Death Benefit Rate or the applicable state interest rate required to be paid on annuity death claims, if any. We determine the Company Death Benefit Rate solely in our discretion and it is subject to change. Your Beneficiaries may contact us to determine the current Company Death Benefit Rate.

The entire interest in this Contract must be distributed as described below in accordance with the requirements of Section 72(s) of the Code and all the terms of this Contract shall be interpreted in accordance with that section. If the Death Benefit is applied to an Annuity Plan, the primary Beneficiary will be deemed to be the Annuitant. See Section 7.3 for more information on applying the Death Benefit to an Annuity Plan.

If any Owner (or, if the Owner is not a natural person, any Annuitant) dies before the Maturity Date, the following applies:

Spousal Beneficiaries

If the sole primary Beneficiary is the deceased Owner's "spouse" (as defined by federal law), upon Notice

to Us from your surviving spouse, in lieu of receiving the Death Benefit, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner, pursuant to Section 72(s) of the Code, and the following will apply: (1) If the deceased Owner was an Annuitant, the surviving spouse will also become an Annuitant.

(2) The age of the surviving spouse will be used as the Owner's age under the continued Contract. (3) Surrender Charges on subsequent Surrenders will be waived.

(4) Additional Premiums will not be accepted.

(5) At the subsequent death of the new Owner (i.e., the surviving spouse), the Death Benefit must be distributed as required for non-spousal Beneficiaries as stated below after which the continued Contract will terminate.

If the deceased Owner’s spouse does not choose to continue the Contract (or, if continued, upon the death of the deceased Owner’s spouse), the Death Benefit will be distributed as stated below for non-spousal Beneficiaries. If the deceased Owner’s spouse has attained age 85 on the date of the Owner’s death, the deceased Owner’s spouse may not choose to continue the Contract.

IU-IA-3090

Non-spousal Beneficiaries

If any primary Beneficiary is someone other than the deceased Owner's spouse, the primary Beneficiary will become the Annuitant and the following will apply: (1) No Additional Premiums may be made following the date of the Owner's death; and (2) The entire Proceeds must be distributed to the Beneficiary:

(a)	in its entirety within five years of the Owner's death; or
(b)	beginning within one year after the Owner's death: (i) over the life of the Beneficiary; or (ii) over a period not greater than the Beneficiary's life expectancy.

If the Beneficiary dies before all Death Benefit payments have been distributed, any remaining distributions will be paid to such Beneficiary’s estate or as otherwise directed by the Beneficiary in a Notice to Us.

How to Claim the Death Benefit

We shall pay the Death Benefit upon our receipt of Proof of Death and all required claim forms. The claimant should contact our Customer Service Center at the address or phone number on the first page of this Contract for further instructions.

7.3 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.

Electing an Annuity Plan

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-3090

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.

(2) Our consent is necessary if the payee is not a natural person.

(3) Any change in the payee will take effect as of the date we receive Notice to Us.

If any Owner or payee dies on or after the Maturity Date but before all Annuity Payments have been paid, we will pay the primary Beneficiary the remaining value of any such Annuity Payments at least as rapidly as under the Annuity Plan in effect at the time of death.

Subject to the provisions set forth above an Annuity Plan may also be elected for the distribution of the Cash Surrender Value after the first Contract Year, or the Death Benefit.

The Annuity Plans

(1) Payments for a Period Certain

Annuity Payments are paid in equal installments for a fixed number of years as shown in Table A below. The number of years cannot be less than ten or more than thirty unless otherwise limited by applicable law.

(2) Payments for Life with Period Certain

Annuity Payments are paid for a fixed number of years and as long thereafter as the Annuitant is living as shown in Table B below. However, the number of years cannot be less than ten or more than thirty unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(3) Life Only Payments

Annuity Payments are paid for as long as the Annuitant is living as shown in Table B below. (4) Joint and Last Survivor Life Payments

Annuity Plan Tables

The following tables show the minimum monthly payments for each $1,000 of Proceeds or Cash Surrender Value, as applicable, applied under the Annuity Plan, assuming fixed payments with a net investment return of 1.0%, using the Annuity 2000 Mortality Tables. We may pay a higher rate at our discretion.

In Tables B and C, the amount of each payment will depend on the Annuitant's sex and age as determined by the nearest birthday at the time Annuity Payments commence. Annuity Payments made on a basis other than monthly and for ages or number of years not shown will be calculated on the same basis as those shown and may be obtained from us by contacting our Customer Service Center at the address or phone number set forth on the first page of this Contract.
