With the prior approval of the Company, amounts may be remitted via wire transfer, electronic fund transfer or other means from a United States Bank to the Company.

Except as otherwise provided, contributions to this Contract may only be made to the extent they are excludable from the gross income of the Participant within the limits of Section 403(b) and 402(g) of the Code.

SECTION 3 – ACCOUNTS

3.1 Accounts

Subject to the Changes to Separate Account provision of this Section, the Company shall maintain under this Contract the Interest Accumulation Account and the Investment Funds as set forth in the List of Accounts and Funds Section of this Contract.

3.2 General Account

All contributions allocated to the Interest Accumulation Account shall become part of the Company’s general account. All contributions allocated to the Interest Accumulation Account shall be credited with interest at the Current Rate of Interest. Such interest shall be credited on dates determined by the Company, but not less frequently than once each calendar month.

3.3 Separate Account

All contributions allocated to any of the Investment Funds shall become part of the Separate Account. The Separate Account consists of Investment Funds that own shares of the corresponding funds or portfolios of the Underlying Investment Companies.

The value of the assets in any Investment Fund shall increase or decrease based upon the investment results of that Investment Fund during each Valuation Period.

The assets of each Investment Fund are the exclusive property of the Company, and neither the Contract Holder nor any other person or entity shall have any proprietary interest in such assets. The Company shall not be considered a trustee of the assets for the benefit of the Contract Holder or any person or entity allocating contributions to the Separate Account. All income, gains and losses of an Investment Fund shall be credited to or charged against that Investment Fund without regard to other income, gains or losses of the Company. The assets of each Investment Fund are not chargeable with any liabilities arising out of any other business that the Company may conduct.

3.4 Account Value

In determining the Account Value attributable to a Participant under this Contract on any Valuation Day:

(a)

The value of the Interest Accumulation Account maintained under this Contract attributable to a Participant on a Valuation Day is equal to (i) the total of all amounts allocated under this Contract for such Participant to the Interest Accumulation Account, plus (ii) all interest accrued thereon, minus (iii) the sum of any withdrawals, transfers and Participant’s Administrative Charges deducted from the Interest Accumulation Account under this Contract for such Participant, all to such Valuation Day.

(b)

The value of any Investment Fund maintained under this Contract attributable to a Participant on a Valuation Day is equal to (i) the number of accumulation units credited to the Investment Fund on such Valuation Day attributable to such Participant under this Contract, multiplied by (ii) the accumulation unit value for the Investment Fund for the Valuation Period which includes such Valuation Day.

3.5 Accumulation Units

Each Investment Fund is maintained in accumulation units. Accumulation units shall be used to calculate the value of each Investment Fund. The number of accumulation units shall change based on any amounts allocated or transferred to, or withdrawn or transferred from, each Investment Fund during each Valuation Period. The number of accumulation units to be added to or deducted from each Investment Fund at the end of each Valuation Period is (a) the amount allocated, withdrawn or transferred during the present Valuation Period, divided by (b) the accumulation unit value for that Valuation Period. The number of accumulation units credited to such Investment Fund on any Valuation Day shall be (a) the sum of any accumulation units credited to that Investment Fund, minus (b) the sum of any accumulation units withdrawn from such Investment Fund.

3.6 Accumulation Unit Value

Each Investment Fund has its own distinct accumulation unit value. The accumulation unit value for an Investment Fund was (or shall be) set by the Company when the Investment Fund was (or shall be) initially funded. The accumulation unit value for each Investment Fund shall change for each Valuation Day based upon the investment results of the Investment Fund on that Valuation Day. For any Valuation Period, the accumulation value is (a) the accumulation unit value applicable to that Investment Fund for the preceding Valuation Period, multiplied by (b) the accumulation unit value change factor for the Investment Fund for the current Valuation Period.


TDA-2006		[xxxx]		Page 8

3.7 Accumulation Unit Value Change Factor

For any Valuation Period, the accumulation unit value change factor for each Investment Fund that owns shares of the corresponding fund or portfolio of an Underlying Investment Company affiliated with the Company is:

(a)

the ratio of (i) the asset value of the Investment Fund at the end of the current Valuation Period before any amounts are allocated to, or withdrawn or transferred from, that Investment Fund during that Valuation Period, to (ii) the asset value of that Investment Fund at the end of the last Valuation Period after all allocations and withdrawals were made during that Valuation Period; divided by

(b)	1.00 plus the total of all Participant’s Administrative Charges, other than the Contract Charge, for the number of days from the end of the last Valuation Period to the end of the current Valuation Period.

For any Valuation Period, the accumulation unit value change factor for an Investment Fund that owns shares of the corresponding fund or portfolio of an Underlying Investment Company not affiliated with the Company is:

(a)

the ratio of (i) the value of a share held by the Investment Fund at the end of the current Valuation Period, adjusted by the Cumulative Dividend Multiplier (as defined below) for the current Valuation Period, to (ii) the value of a share held by the Investment Fund at the end of the last Valuation Period, adjusted for the Cumulative Dividend Multiplier for the last Valuation Period; divided by

(b)	1.00 plus the total of all Participant’s Administrative Charges, other than the Contract Charge, for the number of days from the end of the last Valuation Period to the end of the current Valuation Period.

For purposes of this provision, the Cumulative Dividend Multiplier is calculated by dividing the share value, after a dividend distribution, into the share value without regard to the dividend distribution, multiplied by the previous Cumulative Dividend Multiplier.

The Company reserves the right, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing separate account operations, to:

(a)	create new Investment Funds at any time;

(b)	modify, combine or remove Investment Funds;

(c)	transfer assets the Company has determined to be associated with the class of contracts to which this Contract belongs from one Investment Fund to another Investment Fund;

(f)	operate the Separate Account as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or in any other form permitted by law, and designate an investment advisor for its management, which may be the Company, an affiliate of the Company or another person;

(g)	cause the registration or deregistration of any of the Company’s separate accounts, including the Separate Account, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and/or cease to maintain their registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for sales of units of interest under this Contract; and

(h)	operate the Separate Account under the general supervision of a committee, any or all members of which may be interested persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Company or its affiliates, or discharge the committee for the Separate Account.

Such loan reserve amount shall, at any time, be of an amount equal to: (a) the principal amount of such loan; plus (b) the amount then required to cover contingency expenses over the life of such loan and to protect against any defaults; plus (c) if the Participant has elected to have federal income taxes withheld in the event that a default in the payment of the loan principal, or interest, or both, results in the Participant’s loan balance being treated as current income, the amount that the Company determines is necessary to be withheld for such federal income taxes. Except as provided in the next sentence, a Participant may borrow up to the maximum amount permitted by Section 72(p) of the Code, reduced by any loan reserve amount required by the Company. However, a Participant in a tax deferred annuity program that is subject to ERISA may not borrow more than 50% of their portion of the vested Account Value as of the day that the loan is made, reduced by any loan reserve amount required by the Company.

The rate of interest to be allocated to the loan reserve amount shall be the greater of (a) the Guaranteed Rate of Interest and (b) the lesser of (i) the Current Rate of Interest and (ii) a rate of interest equal to the loan interest rate then in effect less a percentage (not greater than 3%) which the Company shall determine. The loan interest rate applicable to a Participant shall be an adjustable rate declared by the Company. In no event shall such interest rate be greater than the higher of (a) the Current Rate of Interest in effect under this Contract at the time the rate is determined plus one percentage point or (b) the Monthly Average Corporates yield shown in Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Averages for the calendar month ending two months before the date on which the rate is determined, published by Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc., or any successor, or, if no longer published, a rate which is set by law or by regulation of the insurance supervisory official of the State in which this Contract is delivered.

The loan interest rate in effect with respect to a Participant shall be evaluated at least once every twelve months, but not more frequently than once in any three months’ period. If at the time of such evaluation, the rate of interest then applicable to new loans is at least .5% greater or lesser than the loan interest rate applicable to the Participant, the loan interest rate on the Participant’s outstanding loan balance shall then be adjusted to reflect such increase or decrease. A Participant shall receive a statement of the initial loan interest rate and shall receive at least 30 days’ advance written notification of any change in the loan interest rate, provided however that any Participant taking a loan within 30 days of any change in the loan interest rate will be informed of such change on or before the time the loan is made.

Any loan under this Contract shall be repaid within five years, except that in the case of a loan used to acquire a dwelling unit that is to be used as the principal residence of the Participant, the loan may be repaid over a period not to exceed ten years. The loan agreement shall provide for repayments to be made at least quarterly and shall contain a repayment schedule that provides for the substantial level amortization of the loan over the applicable period, except as may be permitted by Section 72(p) of the Code.

If (a) the Participant defaults in the payment of the loan principal, or interest, or both or (b) the due date of the loan has been accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Company has not otherwise been repaid, an amount equal to the sum of; (i) the loan principal; (ii) interest; and (iii) federal income tax withheld shall be withdrawn from the Account Value in the Interest Accumulation Account, and, upon such withdrawal, the loan reserve amount shall cease to exist, The amounts described in the preceding sentence that are so withdrawn shall be paid to the Company, and, upon such payment, the Company shall transmit the amount described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence to the Federal Government.

If (a) this Contract is discontinued, and (b) the Contract Holder elects to have the funds under this Contract paid to a custodian or another insurance company, and (c) there are amounts being held as loan reserves under this Contract on the date of such election, then such loan reserve amounts shall be disposed of in accordance with the following clause (i) or the following clause (ii), whichever the Contract Holder elects:

(i)

An amount equal to the principal loan balance outstanding with respect to each Participant plus interest thereon shall be withdrawn from the Account Value and paid to the Company. The balance of the Account Value and loan documentation shall then be transferred to another insurance company or to a custodian.

(ii)

An amount equal to the Account Value less the loan reserve amount being held by the Company for a Participant’s loan shall be transferred to another insurance company or to a custodian. The loan reserve amount under this Contract for a Participant shall continue to be held by the Company until the Participant’s loan under the Plan has been repaid. Upon the entire loan being repaid the Account Value shall be transferred to another insurance company or to a custodian.

(e)	The Company assumes no responsibility for determining whether any method of payment selected under this Contract complies with the applicable Treasury Regulations or other requirements.

9.3 Timing of Minimum Distributions to Beneficiary

If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

(a)

If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary, then, except as provided in paragraph (c) below, distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70¹⁄₂, if later.

(b)	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the sole Beneficiary, then, except as provided in paragraph (c) below, distributions to the Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

(c)

If the Beneficiary is a Designated Beneficiary and so elects, distributions to the Beneficiary are not required to begin by the date specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, but the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. The election must be made no later than the earlier of the end of the calendar year in which distribution would be required to begin under paragraph (a) or (b) above, or by the end of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s (or, if applicable, the surviving spouse’s) death. If the Beneficiary does not make an election under this paragraph (c), the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed no later than December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death, or if later, begin to be distributed by the date specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as applicable.

(d)	If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, then the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

(e)	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this subsection, other than for paragraph (a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

(f)

For purposes of this subsection and subsection 9.4, unless paragraph (e) above applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Required Beginning Date. If paragraph (e) above applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph (a) above. If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Required Beginning Date (or to the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph (a) above), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

9.4 Amount of Required Minimum Distribution

(a)	During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:

(i)

The quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or

(ii)

If the sole Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.

The minimum distribution, determined under this paragraph (a), shall begin with the first Distribution Calendar Year and continue up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.

(b)

If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a Beneficiary who is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Beneficiary, determined as follows:

(i)

The Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(ii)

If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.


TDA-2006		[xxxx]		Page 20

(iii)

If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the sole Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(c)

If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin, and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(d)	If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, then:

(i)

Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in accordance with the five-year rule described in subsection 9.3(c), the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Designated Beneficiary’ determined as provided in paragraph (b) above.

(ii)

If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

(iii)

If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under subsection 9.3(a), this paragraph (d) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

9.5 Direct Rollover

Except as provided below, any Distributee who is entitled to an Eligible Rollover Distribution from this Contract may elect to forego receipt of any portion of that distribution and direct the administrator of the Plan, if any, or the Company, if there is no Plan, to pay such amount on their behalf to an Eligible Retirement Plan as a Direct Rollover. However:

(a)	An election to have all or a part of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid as a Direct Rollover must be made in writing on a form provided by the Company.

(b)	No portion of a Distributee’s Eligible Rollover Distribution may be paid as a Direct Rollover unless that distribution, plus all other Eligible Rollover Distributions payable to that Distributee during the same calendar year, may be reasonably expected to have a total value of at least $200.

(c)	No amount less than $500 may be paid as a Direct Rollover unless it represents the total value of an Eligible Rollover Distribution.

(d)	All Direct Rollovers attributable to the same Eligible Rollover Distribution must be paid to the same Eligible Retirement Plan.

Any Distributee who is entitled to an Eligible Rollover Distribution shall be notified of their right to have it paid to an Eligible Retirement Plan on their behalf as a Direct Rollover. This notice shall be provided in writing by the Company. If an Eligible Rollover Distribution is payable in the form of a non-periodic payment, this notice shall be provided at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before that payment is made. If a series of payments of Eligible Rollover Distributions is payable, this notice shall be provided at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the first payment is made and at least once every calendar year thereafter, until payments cease. However, an Eligible Rollover Distribution may be paid less than 30 days after the Distributee has been notified of their Direct Rollover rights if the Distributee so elects.

The rates set forth in Table B and Table C above are based on mortality according to the “GAM01 Table”, with 2% interest and no loading. The GAM01 Table was developed by projecting, according to Projection Scale AA, the mortality rates of the 1994 Group Annuity Reserving Table to 2001, with additional projection of one year for each year that the age exceeds 65. Male and female mortality rates were projected separately, and the resulting projected tables were blended using 2/3 of the female mortality rate and 1/3 of the male mortality rate at each age to produce the GAM01 Table.

A person’s age for the purpose of the foregoing tables shall be such person’s age at their last birthday before payments under the annuity benefit are to begin to such person, plus the fraction of a year corresponding to the number of completed months from such birthday to the date such payments begin. Amounts required for ages not shown and for other forms of annuity shall be calculated by the Company on the same actuarial assumptions and shall be furnished upon request.

The rates set forth in Table A, Table B and Table C above may be changed by the Company in accordance with subsection 8.19 of this Contract.
