ACCUMULATION PROVISIONS
Before the Annuity Date, the Contract Value is the sum of the Separate Account

and regulations, we may terminate your Contract and send you the remaining

The Separate Account Accumulation Value under the Contract is the sum of the
Accumulation Unit Values held in the Variable Portfolios for You.
NUMBER OF ACCUMULATION UNITS
Your Contract is credited with Accumulation Units of the Separate Account when
amounts are allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s). For that portion of each
Purchase Payment and/or transfer amount allocated to a Variable Portfolio, the
number of Accumulation Units credited is equal to:
The sum of each Purchase Payment and/or transfer amount allocated to the
Variable Portfolio reduced by premium taxes, if any:
Divided by
The Accumulation Unit Value for that Variable Portfolio for the NYSE business
day in which the Purchase Payment or transfer amount is received.
The number of Accumulation Units will be reduced for Withdrawals of Contract
Value, annuitizations, amounts transferred out of a Variable Portfolio, the
Contract Maintenance Fee and applicable charges for elected features as set
forth in endorsements to this Contract. Any reduction to the Contract Value will
be made as of the NYSE business day in which We receive all requirements for the
transaction, as appropriate.
8
AS-981 (5/06)
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE (AUV)
The AUV of a Variable Portfolio for any NYSE business day is calculated by
subtracting (2) from (1) and dividing the result by (3) where:
(1) is the total value at the end of the given NYSE business day of the assets
attributable to the the Variable Portfolio minus any applicable liabilities
other than those owed to the Contractholders;
(2) is the amount equal to the daily Separate Account Charge plus the daily
charge for any optional features that impose a daily charge;
(3) is the number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of the given
NYSE business day.
FIXED ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Fixed Account Accumulation Value, if any, is the sum of all monies allocated
or transferred to the Fixed Account Option(s), if available, reduced by any
applicable premium taxes, plus all interest credited on the Fixed Account
Option(s) during the period that You have Contract Value allocated to the Fixed
Account Option(s). This amount will be adjusted for Withdrawals, annuitizations,
transfers, and the deduction of the Contract Maintenance Fee and applicable
charges for elected features as set forth in endorsements to this Contract. The
Fixed Account Accumulation Value will not be less than the minimum values
required by law in the state where this Contract is issued.
FIXED ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PERIOD OPTIONS AND INTEREST CREDITING
The portion of Your Contract Value within the Fixed Account, if any, is credited
with interest at rates guaranteed by Us for the Guarantee Period(s) selected.
Interest is credited on a daily basis at the then applicable effective interest
rate for the applicable Guarantee Period. You may select from one or more
Guarantee Periods which We may offer at any particular time. We reserve the
right at any time to add or delete Guarantee Periods. If You have allocated any
part of Your initial Purchase Payment to a Guarantee Period, the amount
allocated, as well as the duration of the Guarantee Period, is shown on the
Application or confirmation thereof as completed by You. The interest rate
applicable to an allocation of Purchase Payment or transfer of Contract Value to
a Guarantee Period is the rate in effect for that Guarantee Period at the time
of the allocation or transfer. If You have allocated or transferred amounts at
different times to the Fixed Account, each allocation or transfer may have a
unique effective interest rate associated with that amount. We guarantee that
the effective annual rate of interest for the Fixed Account, including any of
the available Guaranteed Periods, will not be less than the Minimum Guarantee
Rate as mandated by Your state, and shown on Contract Data Page. The minimum
guarantee rate under Your Contract as referenced on the Contract Data Page is at
least equal to the lesser of: (a) 3% per annum; or (b) the three-month average
value of the five-year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate reported by the Federal
Reserve, rounded up to the nearest 1/4th of 1%, for the second, third and fourth
month preceding the first day of the calendar quarter during which the Contract
is issued, reduced by 1.25% and where the resulting interest rate is not less
than 1%.

AS-981 (5/06)
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
We will deduct the following charges from the Contract:
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE FEE
The charge, as shown on the Contract Data Page, will be deducted on each
Contract anniversary before the Annuity Date. It will also be deducted when the
Contract Value is withdrawn in full if the Withdrawal is not on the Contract
anniversary. We also reserve the right to waive the fee for certain Contract
Values of [$50,000.00 and up].
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
The charge, as shown on the Contract Data Page, if any, may be deducted upon
Withdrawal of any portion of the Contract Value. See WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGE
This charge, as shown on the Contract Data Page, on an annualized basis equals a
percentage of the average daily ending value of the assets attributable to the
Accumulation Units of the Variable Portfolio(s) to which the Contract is
allocated. This charge compensates Us for mortality and expense risks,
distribution expenses and guaranteed death benefit risk associated with the
Contract. We subtract this charge daily. We reserve the right to assess a charge
on a class basis which differs from the charge specified on the Contract Data
Page.
TRANSFER PROVISIONS
Subject to applicable restrictions, You may transfer all or part of Your
Contract Value amongst the Variable Portfolios and/or available Fixed Account
Options (unless otherwise noted). The minimum amount that can be transferred and
the amount that can remain in a Variable Portfolio and/or available Fixed
Account Option are subject to Company limits. We further reserve the right to
restrict Your transfer privileges, including but not limited to possible
termination of those privileges in our sole discretion.
Furthermore, the Underlying Funds, may have their own transfer policies that are
applicable to this Contract as a result of investment in the Variable
Portfolios. These policies, likewise may include termination of Your transfer
privileges and/or penalty fees resulting from transfer activity that is defined
as excessive according to the Underlying Funds' policies.
TRANSFERS OF ACCUMULATION UNITS BETWEEN VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS AND FIXED ACCOUNTS
Before the Annuity Date, transfers are subject to certain restrictions. You may
transfer all or a portion of Your Contract Value from one Variable Portfolio to
another Variable Portfolio(s) or any available Fixed Account Option(s) other
than the DCA Fixed Account Options. You may also transfer from any available
Fixed Account Option(s) to the Variable Portfolio(s) and/or any available Fixed
Account Option(s) of the Contract. A transfer will result in the redemption of
Accumulation Units in a Variable Portfolio and the purchase of Accumulation
Units in the other Variable Portfolio. Transfers will be effected at the end of
the NYSE business day in which We receive Your completed request for the
transfer.
10
AS-981 (5/06)
TRANSFERS OF ANNUITY UNITS BETWEEN VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS
On and after the Annuity Date, transfers into and out of any available Fixed
Account Option(s) are not allowed. You may transfer all or a portion of Your
Contract Value from one Variable Portfolio to another Variable Portfolio(s). A
transfer will result in the redemption of Annuity Units in a Variable Portfolio
and the purchase of Annuity Units in the other Variable Portfolio. Transfers
will be effected for the last NYSE business day of the month in which We receive
Your request for the transfer.
WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
On or before the Annuity Date and while You are living, You may withdraw all or
part of Your Contract Value under this Contract by informing Us at Our Annuity
Service Center. For a full Withdrawal, this Contract must be returned to Our
Annuity Service Center. The minimum amount that can be withdrawn and the amount
remaining after Withdrawal are subject to Company limits.
Unless You tell Us otherwise in writing, Withdrawals will be deducted from the
Contract Value in proportion to their allocation among any available Fixed
Account Options and the Variable Portfolios. Withdrawals will be based on values
for the NYSE business day in which the request for withdrawal and the Contract
(in the case of a full withdrawal), are received at Our Annuity Service Center.
Unless the SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS or DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS sections are in
effect, payment of withdrawals will be made within seven calendar days.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
Withdrawals of all or a portion of the Contract Value may be subject to a
Withdrawal Charge as shown on the Contract Data Page. The Withdrawal Charge
percentage applied to any withdrawal will depend on how long the Purchase
Payment to which the Withdrawal is attributed has been in the Contract. No
Withdrawal Charge is deducted on an amount which is considered a Penalty-Free
Withdrawal or a Purchase Payment no longer subject to a Withdrawal Charge.
For the purpose of determining the Withdrawal Charge, a Withdrawal will be
attributed to amounts in the following order: (1) penalty-free earnings in the
Contract; (2) Purchase Payments no longer subject to the Withdrawal Charge and
not yet withdrawn; (3) any remaining Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount (except in
the case of a full Withdrawal); and (4) Purchase Payments subject to a
Withdrawal Charge. Purchase Payments, when withdrawn, are assumed to be
withdrawn on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You will not receive the benefit
of a Penalty-Free Withdrawal in case of a full Withdrawal.
The Withdrawal Charge will be assessed against the Variable Portfolio(s) and the
available Fixed Account Option(s) in the same proportion as the remaining
Contract Value is allocated unless You request that the Withdrawal come from a
particular Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account Option. After a
Withdrawal is taken, the remaining Contract Value must be sufficient to cover
any Withdrawal Charge remaining upon full Withdrawal of the Contract.
PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS
On any day before the Annuity Date, You may make a Withdrawal of up to the
Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as of that day without incurring a Withdrawal
Charge. Any portion of the
11
AS-981 (5/06)
Penalty-Free Withdrawal made in excess of the penalty-free earnings in the
Contract is considered to be a Withdrawal of future Penalty-Free earnings and is
therefore not a Withdrawal of the Total Invested Amount. On any day,
penalty-free earnings in the Contract are calculated as the Contract Value at
the end of that day less the Total Invested Amount.
During the first Contract Year, the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount is equal to
the penalty-free earnings in the Contract as of the date of Withdrawal.
Alternatively, during the first Contract Year, You may make Withdrawals of the
Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount through the Systematic Withdrawal Program. The
Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as of any systematic withdrawal date is 10% of
the Total Invested Amount less any Withdrawals already made during the Contract
Year.
After the first Contract Year, the maximum Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as of
the date of the Withdrawal is the greater of:
(a) penalty-free earnings in the Contract; or
(b) 10% of the Total Invested Amount on deposit for at least one year, less any
Withdrawals already made during the year.
Although amounts withdrawn free of a Withdrawal Charge reduce Contract Value,
they do not reduce the Total Invested Amount for purposes of calculating the
Withdrawal Charge or for the purposes of calculating penalty-free earnings in
the Contract. As a result, You will not receive the benefit of a Penalty-Free
Withdrawal in a full Withdrawal.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
Prior to the Annuity Date, You may elect to participate in a Systematic
Withdrawal Program by informing Us at Our Annuity Service Center. The Systematic
Withdrawal Program allows You to make automatic withdrawals from Your Contract
monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. The minimum systematic withdrawal
amount is subject to Company limits. Any amount withdrawn through the Systematic
Withdrawal Program may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge as discussed in the
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE and PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS provisions. You may terminate
Your participation in the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time by sending
Us a written request. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the
Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time.
Systematic withdrawals will be deducted from the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount
available each Contract Year.
DEATH PROVISIONS
Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, all payments of
benefits under this Contract will be made in a manner that satisfies the
requirements of IRC Section 72(s), as amended
12
AS-981 (5/06)
from time to time. If the Contract is owned by a trust or other non-natural
person, We will treat the death of any Annuitant as the death of the "Primary
Annuitant" and as the death of any Owner.
DUE PROOF OF DEATH
Due Proof of Death means:
1. a certified copy of a death certificate; or
2. a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as
to the finding of death; or
3. a written statement by a medical doctor who attended the deceased
Owner at the time of death; or
4. any other proof satisfactory to Us.
DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
We will pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary upon Our receiving all Required
Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center. Unless You have previously
designated a payment option on behalf of the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary must
select one of the following options:
1. Immediately collect the death benefit in a lump sum payment. If a lump
sum payment is elected, payment will be in accordance with any
applicable laws and regulations governing payments on death; or
2. Collect the death benefit in the form of one of the Annuity Payment
Options. If an Annuity Payment Option is desired, an option must be
elected within 60 days of Our receipt of all Required Documentation.
The payments must be over the life of the Beneficiary or over a period
not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. Payments
under this option must begin within one year after the Owner's death,
otherwise, the death benefit will be paid in accordance with option 1
above; or
3. If eligible, continue the Contract as the Spousal Beneficiary. On the
Continuation Date, We will contribute to the Contract any amount by
which the Death Benefit exceeds the Contract Value, calculated as of
the Owner's date of death. This amount is not considered a Purchase
Payment except in the calculation of certain death benefits upon the
death of the Spousal Beneficiary. If this option is elected, no death
benefit is paid.
You cannot change any elected death benefit option specified on the Contract
Data Page. In any event, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed
within five years from the date of death of the Owner unless payment option 2 or
3 was selected under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.
Your Spousal Beneficiary may discontinue any optional death benefit option on
the Continuation Date. Your Spousal Beneficiary cannot change the death benefit
option elected by you on the Application. Upon the Spousal Beneficiary's death,
the entire interest of the Contract must be distributed immediately under option
1 or 2 as provided under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.
13
AS-981 (5/06)
AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT
If the Owner was Age [82 or younger] on the Contract Date, [and death occurs
before the [90th] birthday,] upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation at

receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or
(2) [100% of] Net Purchase Payment(s) received prior to the Owner's [86th]

receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or
(2) The lesser of:
a) [100% of] Net Purchase Payment(s) received before the Owner's

b) [125% of] Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which
We receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service
Center.

be the Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive all
Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center.]
SPOUSAL BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION
If the Spousal Beneficiary was Age [82 or younger] on the Continuation Date and
was younger than Age [86] at the time of death, upon Our receipt of all Required
Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center, We will calculate the Death Benefit
as the greater of:

receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or
(2) [100% of] the Contract Value on the Continuation Date, and a Death
Benefit Adjustment for Purchase Payment(s) transacted on or after the

and/or Withdrawals transacted after the Continuation Date.
If the Spousal Beneficiary was at least Age [83 but younger than age 86] on the
Continuation Date and was younger than Age [86] at the time of death, upon Our
receipt of the all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center, We will

If the Spousal Beneficiary was age [86] or older on the Continuation Date, the
Death Benefit will be [100% of] the Contract Value for the NYSE business day
during which We receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service
Center.
DEATH OF OWNER OR ANNUITANT ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE
If any Owner or Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date and before the
entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, We will pay the remaining
portion of the annuity payout to the Beneficiary upon Our receipt of Required
Documentation. For further information pertaining to death of the Annuitant, see
ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is selected by the Owner. While the Owner is living and before
the Annuity Date, the Owner may change the Beneficiary by written notice in a
form satisfactory to Us. A change in Beneficiary will take effect on the date We
receive the written notice at Our Annuity Service Center. If two or more persons
are named as Beneficiaries under the Contract, those surviving the Owner will
share equally unless otherwise stated and each must elect to receive their
respective portions of the death benefit according to the options listed under
DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE. If the Annuitant survives the Owner, and
there are no surviving Beneficiaries, the Annuitant will be deemed the
Beneficiary.
Joint Owners, if applicable, shall be each other's primary Beneficiary. Joint
Annuitants, if any, when the Owner is a non-natural person, shall be each
other's primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated
as a contingent Beneficiary.
If the Owner is also the Annuitant and there are no surviving Beneficiaries upon
Our receipt of all Required Documentation We will pay the Death Benefit to the
estate of the Owner in accordance with option 1 under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE
ANNUITY DATE.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
ANNUITY DATE
You specify an anticipated Annuity Date on the Application as shown on the
Contract Data Page. You may change the Annuity Date at any time at least seven
days before the Annuity Date, by written notice to the Us at Our Annuity Service
Center. The Annuity Date must always be the first day of the calendar month and
must be at least two years after the Contract Date, but not beyond the Latest
Annuity Date. If no Annuity Date is specified on the Application, the Annuity
Date will be the Latest Annuity Date.
PAYMENTS TO OWNER
Unless You request otherwise, We will make annuity payments to You. If You want
the annuity payments to be made to some other Payee, We will make such payments
subject to receipt of a written request filed at the Annuity Service Center no
later than thirty (30) days before the due date of the first annuity payment.
Any such request is subject to the rights of any assignee. No payments available
to or being paid to the Payee while the Annuitant is alive can be transferred,
commuted, anticipated or encumbered.

AS-981 (5/06)
AMOUNT OF FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
The amount of each fixed annuity payment will be determined by applying the
portion of the Contract Value allocated by You for Fixed Annuitization, less any
applicable premium taxes, to the annuity table applicable to the fixed annuity
payment option chosen. In no event will the Fixed Annuitization be changed once
it begins.
AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
(a) FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT: The dollar amount of the first Variable
Annuitization payment will be determined by applying the portion of the
Contract Value allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s), less any applicable
premium taxes, to rates which are at least equal to the annuity rates based
upon the annuity table applicable to the variable annuity payment option
chosen. If the Contract Value is allocated to more than one Variable
Portfolio, the value of Your interest in each Variable Portfolio is applied
separately to the variable annuity payment option table to determine the
amount of the first annuity payment attributable to each Variable
Portfolio.
(b) NUMBER OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNITS: The number of Annuity Units for each
applicable Variable Portfolio is the amount of the first annuity payment
attributable to that Variable Portfolio divided by the value of the
applicable Annuity Unit for that Variable Portfolio as of the Annuity Date.
The number will not change as a result of investment experience.
(c) VALUE OF EACH VARIABLE ANNUITY UNIT: The value of an Annuity Unit may
increase or decrease from one month to the next. For any month, the value
of an Annuity Unit of a particular Variable Portfolio is the value of that
Annuity Unit as of the last NYSE business day of the preceding month,
multiplied by the Net Investment Factor for that Variable Portfolio for the
last NYSE business day of the current month.
The Net Investment Factor for any Variable Portfolio for a certain month is
determined by dividing (1) by (2) and multiplying by (3) where:
(1) is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Variable Portfolio determined as
of the last business day at the end of that month, and
(2) is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Variable Portfolio determined as
of the last business day at the end of the preceding month, and
(3) is a factor that neutralizes the assumed investment rate of 3.5%.
(d) SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS: After the first Variable
Annuitization payment future payments will vary in amount according to the
investment performance of the applicable Variable Portfolio(s) to which
Your Purchase Payments are allocated. The amount may change from month to
month. The amount of each subsequent payment for each Variable Portfolio
is:
The number of Annuity Units for each Variable Portfolio as determined for
the first annuity payment
Multiplied by
The value of an Annuity Unit for that Variable Portfolio at the end of the
month immediately preceding the month in which payment is due.
16
AS-981 (5/06)
We guarantee that the amount of each Variable Annuitization payment will
not be affected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
ENTIRE CONTRACT
The Entire Contract between You and Us consists of this Contract, the
Application or confirmation thereof and any attached endorsement(s) or rider(s).
An agent cannot change the terms or conditions of this Contract. Any change must
be in writing and approved by Us. Only Our President, Secretary, or one of Our
Vice-Presidents can give Our approval.
CHANGE OF ANNUITANT
If the Owner is an individual, the Owner may change the Annuitant(s) at any time
before the Annuity Date. To make a change, the Owner must send a written notice
to Us at least 30 days before the Annuity Date. If the Owner is a non-natural
person, the Owner may not change the Annuitant.
DEATH OF ANNUITANT
If the Owner is a natural person, the Owner and Annuitant are different, and the
Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date, the Owner becomes the Annuitant until
the Owner elects a new Annuitant. If there are Joint Annuitants, upon the death
of any Annuitant before the Annuity Date, the Owner may elect a new Joint
Annuitant. However, if the Owner is a non-natural person, We will treat the
death of any Annuitant as the death of the "Primary Annuitant" and as the death
of the Owner, as explained in the DEATH PROVISIONS.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the Age or sex of any Annuitant has been misstated, future annuity payments
will be adjusted using the correct Age and sex, according to Our rates in effect
on the date that annuity payments were determined. Any overpayment from the
fixed annuity payment options, plus interest at the rate of [4%] per year, will
be deducted from the next payment(s) due. Any underpayment from the fixed
annuity payment options, plus interest at the rate of [4%] per year, will be
paid in full with the next payment due. Any overpayment from the Variable
Portfolios will be deducted from the next payment(s) due. Any underpayment from
the Variable Portfolios will be paid in full with the next payment due.
With respect to Contract issue Age and other age driven features in the
Contract, should We discover a misstatement of Age, We reserve the right to
fully pursue Our remedies including possible termination of the Contract and/or
revocation of any Age driven benefits.
PROOF OF AGE, SEX, OR SURVIVAL
We may require satisfactory proof of correct Age or sex at any time. If any
payment under this Contract depends on the Annuitant being alive, We may require
satisfactory proof of survival.
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may defer making payments from the available Fixed Account Options for up to
six (6) months. Interest, subject to state requirements, will be credited during
the deferral period.
17
AS-981 (5/06)
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS

the following occur:
(a) the NYSE is closed;
(b) trading on the NYSE is restricted;
(c) an emergency exists such that it is not reasonably practical to dispose of
securities in the Variable Portfolios or to determine the value of its
assets; or
(d) the Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits for the
protection of Owners.
Conditions in (b) and (c) will be decided by or in accordance with rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
CONFORMITY WITH STATE LAWS
The provisions of this Contract will be interpreted by the laws of the state in
which the Application or confirmation thereof was signed or such other state as
is required by law. Any provision which, on the Contract Date, is in conflict
with the law of such state is amended to conform to the minimum requirements of
such law.
CHANGES IN LAW
If the laws governing this Contract or the taxation of benefits under the
Contract change, We reserve the right to amend this Contract to comply with
these changes.
ASSIGNMENT
You may assign this Contract before the Annuity Date, but We will not be bound
by an assignment unless the request for assignment is signed by You and received
by Us. Your rights and those of any other person referred to in this Contract
will be subject to the assignment. Certain assignments may be taxable. We do not
assume any responsibility for the validity or tax consequences of any
assignment. We reserve the right to not recognize assignments if it changes the
risk profile of the Owner of the Contract as determined in Our sole discretion.
CLAIMS OF CREDITORS

will be subject to claims of creditors or legal process.
PREMIUM TAXES OR OTHER TAXES
We may deduct from Your Contract Value any premium tax or other taxes payable to
a state or other government entity, if applicable. Should We advance any amount
so due, We are not waiving any right to collect such amount at a later date. We
will deduct any withholding taxes required by applicable law.

or confirmation thereof unless You request otherwise. Any written request or
notice to Us must be sent to Our Annuity Service Center, as specified on the
