(defined in Article II), by the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit provisions

within the variable annuity contracts issued by the CEDING COMPANY as set forth

D. [REDACTED]

E. This Agreement covers only the CEDING COMPANY's contractual liability for

Hartford Life and Annuity, Agreement No. 2000-25-DB

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE II

COMMENCEMENT AND TERMINATION OF LIABILITY

A. On reinsurance ceded under the terms of this Agreement, the liability of the

REINSURER shall commence simultaneously with that of the CEDING COMPANY. The

liability under this Agreement will terminate either:

1. in accordance with the Duration of Agreement provisions of this Agreement as

stated in Article XX; or,

2. for an individual contract, upon the earliest of the following occurrences

defined in the contract(s) reinsured hereunder:

a. the date the owner elects to annuitize

b. surrender or termination of the contract

c. the CEDING COMPANY's receipt of due proof of death of a single owner

or annuitant where such death triggers the payment of a contractual

death benefit, except when spousal continuance has been elected. On

spousal continuance election the REINSURER's liability will be

terminated upon death of the continuing spouse;

d. attainment of the maximum annuity commencement date (as described in

the contract forms shown in Schedule A), not to exceed age 105.

3. for an individual contract, reinsurance coverage will cease on the first day

of the month following a withdrawal that causes the Account Value of the

contract to fall below four-thousand- dollars ($4,000). Once reinsurance

coverage ends for a specific contract, it cannot be reinstated under this

Agreement.

B. The REINSURER shall be liable to reimburse claims only on those deaths where

the actual date of death is on or after October 1, 2000, in accordance with

Article VII.

Hartford Life and Annuity, Agreement No. 2000-25-DB

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE III

OVERSIGHTS AND CLERICAL ERRORS

A. Should either the CEDING COMPANY or the REINSURER fail to comply with any of

the terms of this Agreement, and if this is shown to be unintentional and the

result of a misunderstanding, oversight or clerical error on the part of either

the CEDING COMPANY or the REINSURER, then this Agreement shall not be deemed

abrogated thereby, but both companies shall be restored to the positions they

would have occupied had no such oversight, misunderstanding or clerical error

occurred. Such conditions are to be reported promptly after discovery and

corrected within an agreed upon time frame.

B. If the CEDING COMPANY or the REINSURER discovers that the CEDING COMPANY did

not cede reinsurance on a contract it should have reinsured under this

Agreement, the CEDING COMPANY will take reasonable and necessary steps to ensure

that similar oversights do not recur. Then this Agreement shall not be deemed

abrogated thereby, but both companies shall be restored to the positions they

would have occupied had the CEDING COMPANY ceded such reinsurance at the

original date. If the REINSURER receives no evidence that the CEDING COMPANY has

taken action to remedy such a situation, the REINSURER reserves the right to

limit its liability to reported contracts only.

C. Any negligent or deliberate acts or omissions by the CEDING COMPANY

regarding the insurance or reinsurance provided are the responsibility of the

CEDING COMPANY and its liability insurer, if any, but not that of the REINSURER.

The previous sentence does not negate the REINSURER's liability under Article

VII, Settlement of Claims, of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REINSURANCE PREMIUMS

A. The reinsurance premium is a monthly YRT rate which is applied to the

REINSURER's quota-share of the average MNAR over the reporting period on a

contract-by-contract basis, and is equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of one-hundred

percent (100%) of the 1994 Variable Annuity MGDB Mortality Table (Exhibit I)

which is the 1994 GAM Basic Table increased by ten percent (10%) for margins and

contingencies, without projection. The reinsurance premium is subject to minimum

and maximum asset-based premium rate levels that vary by age at issue or at the

time the Optional Death Benefit (ODB) is elected. ODB elections that occur post

issue date, shall be reinsured hereunder only if this Agreement is open for New

Business at the time of election. Further, for ODB elections issue age is

understood to mean attained age at election.

B. The minimum and maximum asset-based premium rates shall be applied to the

greater of the average aggregate GMDB value and the average aggregate account

value in force over the reporting period multiplied by the quota-share

percentage reinsured by the REINSURER, subject to the maximum MNAR cap set forth

in Article IV. The reporting period shall be monthly.

C. [REDACTED]

D. The annualized reinsurance premium rates are shown in Exhibit II and are

expressed in terms of basis points. In practice, they shall be applied on a

monthly basis by utilizing one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annualized rates.

E. The YRT rate and the minimum/maximum asset-based premium rates shall be

based on the oldest person of a multiple life status.

F. The monthly reinsurance premium shall be due and payable as described in

Article VI.

Hartford Life and Annuity, Agreement No. 2000-25-DB

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE VI

REINSURANCE ADMINISTRATION

A. Within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month, the CEDING

COMPANY will furnish the REINSURER with a seriatim electronic report as detailed

in Schedule C, for each contract specified in Schedule A, valued as of the last

day of that month.

B. Additionally, within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month, the

CEDING COMPANY will furnish the REINSURER with a separate report summarizing the

following:

1. Reinsurance premiums due the REINSURER separate for each premium class as

shown in Exhibit II

2. Benefit claim reimbursements due the CEDING COMPANY in total and split by

VNAR and SCNAR

C. If the net balance is due to the REINSURER, the amount due shall be remitted

with the report statement. If the net balance is due to the CEDING COMPANY, the

REINSURER shall remit the amount to the CEDING COMPANY within ten (10) days of

receipt of the report.

D. Furthermore, the REINSURER will use the summary data in Schedule C to

calculate and monitor its maximum annual aggregate VNAR liability throughout the

calendar year. Upon the receipt of the final report for the calendar year, the

REINSURER will "true-up" benefit claim reimbursements, if necessary, from the

prior calendar year.

E. Other

1. The REINSURER and the CEDING COMPANY reserve the right to charge interest on

the net balance if (a) below occurs. The REINSURER reserves the right to charge

interest on the net balance if (b) below occurs. Such interest shall be based on

the ninety (90) day Federal Government Treasury Xxxx as first published by the

Wall Street Journal in the month following the end of the billing period plus

fifty (50) basis points. The method of calculation shall be simple interest

(360-day year).

(a) the net balance due the REINSURER or the CEDING COMPANY is not paid

within sixty (60) days of the due date shown on the statement

(b) the premiums for first year business are not paid within

one-hundred-eighty (180) days of the effective date of the contract

2. The party to whom the net balance is owed will have the right to terminate

this Agreement when net balance payments are not paid for one-hundred-eighty

(180) days from the effective date of the policy for new business or anniversary

date for renewals, by giving ninety (90) days written notice of termination to

the other party. As of the close of the last day of this ninety (90) day notice

period, the REINSURER's liability for all risks reinsured associated with the

defaulted payments under this Agreement will terminate. The first day of the

ninety (90) day notice of termination will be the day the notice is received in

the mail by the party in default or if the mail is not used, the day it is

delivered to the party in default. If all premiums in default are received

within the ninety (90) day time period, the Agreement will remain in effect.

3. Payments between the CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER may be paid net of any

amount due and unpaid under this Agreement.

Hartford Life and Annuity, Agreement No. 2000-25-DB

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE VII

SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS

A. The claims, calculated as set forth in Article IV, that are eligible for

reimbursement are only those that the CEDING COMPANY is contractually required

to pay on deaths that occur on or after the Effective Date of this Agreement and

subject to benefit limitations as described in Article I.

B. In the event the CEDING COMPANY provides satisfactory proof of claim

liability to the REINSURER, claim settlements made by the CEDING COMPANY shall

be unconditionally binding on the REINSURER. In every case of claim, copies of

the proofs obtained by the CEDING COMPANY will be taken by the REINSURER as

sufficient.

C. Within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month, the CEDING

COMPANY shall notify the REINSURER of the reinsured contractual death benefits

paid in that month, based on the net amount at risk definition set forth in

Article IV, and the REINSURER shall reimburse the CEDING COMPANY, as provided in

Article VI, for the reinsured benefits.

D. Settlements by the REINSURER shall be in a lump sum regardless of the mode

of payment made by the CEDING COMPANY.

E. In no event will the REINSURER participate in punitive or compensatory

damages, which are awarded against the CEDING COMPANY as a result of an act,

omission or course of conduct committed solely by the CEDING COMPANY in

connection with the insurance reinsured under this Agreement. The REINSURER

shall, however, pay its share of statutory penalties awarded against the CEDING

COMPANY in connection with insurance reinsured under this Agreement if the

REINSURER elected to join in the contest of the coverage in question.

The parties recognize that circumstances may arise in which equity would require

the REINSURER, to the extent permitted by law, to share proportionately in

certain assessed situations in which the REINSURER was an active party and

directed, consented to, or ratified the act, omission or course of conduct of

the CEDING COMPANY which ultimately resulted in the assessment of the

extra-contractual damages, other than statutory damages. In such situations, the

REINSURER and the CEDING COMPANY shall share such damages so assessed, in

equitable proportions. For the purposes of this provision, the following

definitions will apply:

- "PUNITIVE DAMAGES" are those damages awarded as a penalty, the amount

of which is neither governed nor fixed by statute

- "STATUTORY PENALTIES" are those amounts awarded as a penalty, but

fixed in amount by statute

- "COMPENSATORY DAMAGES" are those amounts awarded to compensate for

the actual damages sustained and are not awarded as a penalty, nor

fixed in amount by statute

If the REINSURER declines to be party to the contest, compromise, or litigation

of a claim, it will pay its full share of the amount reinsured, as if there had

been no contest, compromise, or litigation, and its proportionate share of

covered expenses incurred to the date it notifies the CEDING COMPANY it declines

to be a party.

Hartford Life and Annuity, Agreement No. 2000-25-DB

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE VII - SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS

(continued)

F. In no event will the REINSURER be liable for expenses incurred in connection

with a dispute or contest arising out of conflicting or any other claims of

entitlement to contract proceeds or benefits, provided the REINSURER makes

payment of the amount of reinsurance to the CEDING COMPANY, as described in the

above paragraph.

Hartford Life and Annuity, Agreement No. 2000-25-DB

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE VIII

REINSURANCE CREDIT

It is the intention of both the REINSURER and the CEDING COMPANY that the CEDING

COMPANY qualify for reinsurance credit in all States for reinsurance ceded

hereunder. The REINSURER, at its sole cost and expense, shall do all that is

necessary to comply with the insurance laws and regulations of all States in

order to enable the CEDING COMPANY to take credit for the reinsurance ceded

hereunder, including, but not limited to, the purchase of a letter of credit and

the delivery of any reports required thereunder.

Hartford Life and Annuity, Agreement No. 2000-25-DB

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE IX

RECAPTURE PRIVILEGES

The CEDING COMPANY may recapture existing reinsurance in force in accordance

with the following rules:

A. The CEDING COMPANY will notify the REINSURER of its intent to recapture at

least ninety (90) days prior to any recaptures.

B. No recapture will be made unless reinsurance has been in force for fifteen

(15) years.

C. Recapture will only be available provided the total carry-forward, upon the

release of reserves, is in a positive position. The total carry-forward is

defined as the sum of the carry-forwards of this Agreement and the complementary

GMIB Agreement, if any, that reinsures the same related contracts.

D. The carry-forward for each Agreement is defined as the current period's

reinsurance premium, minus all reinsurance claims paid under this Agreement,

minus a two-and-one-half (2.5) basis point annual expense allowance applied

against the average aggregate Account Value, minus the change in treaty

reserves, plus last period's loss carry-forward. The carry-forward amount is

accumulated at the ninety (90) day Federal Government Treasury Xxxx rate as

published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the current

period plus two percent (2%).

E. Upon election, recapture shall occur ratably over a thirty-six (36) month

period (i.e., the initial quota-share percentage reduces 2.78% times the initial

quota-share percentage each month). It is irrevocable once elected.

F. It is the responsibility of the REINSURER to determine the carry-forward,

based on the method described above.

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE X

INSPECTION OF RECORDS

A. The REINSURER, or its duly appointed representatives, shall have the right

at all reasonable times and for any reasonable purpose to inspect at the office

of the CEDING COMPANY all records referring to reinsurance ceded to the

REINSURER.

B. Relating to the business reinsured hereunder, the CEDING COMPANY or its duly

appointed representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times and for

any reasonable purpose, to inspect at the office of the REINSURER all records

referring to reinsurance ceded from the CEDING COMPANY.

Hartford Life and Annuity, Agreement No. 2000-25-DB

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE XI

INSOLVENCY

A. In the event of the insolvency of the CEDING COMPANY, all reinsurance will

be payable on the basis of the liability of the CEDING COMPANY on the policies

reinsured directly to the CEDING COMPANY or its liquidator, receiver or

statutory successor without diminution because of the insolvency of the CEDING

COMPANY.

B. In the event of insolvency of the CEDING COMPANY, the liquidator, receiver

or statutory successor will, within a reasonable time after the claim is filed

in the insolvency proceeding, give written notice to the REINSURER of all

pending claims against the CEDING COMPANY or any contracts reinsured. While a

claim is pending, the REINSURER may investigate and interpose, at its own

expense, in the proceedings where the claim is adjudicated, any defense or

defenses which it may deem available to the CEDING COMPANY or its liquidator,

receiver or statutory successor. The expenses incurred by the REINSURER will be

chargeable, subject to court approval, against the CEDING COMPANY as part of the

expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit

which may accrue to the CEDING COMPANY solely as a result of the defense

undertaken by the REINSURER. Where two or more reinsurers are participating in

the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose a defense or

defenses to any such claim, the expenses will be apportioned in accordance with

the terms of the Reinsurance Agreement as though such expense had been incurred

by the CEDING COMPANY.

C. Any debts or credits, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, in

favor of or against either the REINSURER or CEDING COMPANY with respect to this

Agreement are deemed mutual debts or credits, as the case may be, and will be

offset, and only the balance will be allowed or paid. However, in the event of

liquidation, the REINSURER may offset against undisputed amounts which are due

and payable to the CEDING COMPANY, only those undisputed amounts due the

REINSURER which are not more than one-hundred-eighty (180) days past due at the

date of the court order of liquidation.

D. In the event of insolvency of the REINSURER, the CEDING COMPANY may

recapture immediately all ceded benefits upon written notice to the REINSURER,

its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor. The CEDING COMPANY shall also

have a claim on the REINSURER for any reinsurance credit amounts including

reserves, unearned premiums and other amounts due the CEDING COMPANY on such

reinsurance, at the date of recapture.

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE XII

NEGOTIATION

A. Within ten (10) days after one of the parties has given the other the first

written notification of a specific dispute, each party will appoint a designated

officer to attempt to resolve the dispute. The officers will meet at a mutually

agreeable location as early as possible and as often as necessary, in order to

gather and furnish the other with all appropriate and relevant information

concerning the dispute. The officers will discuss the problem and will negotiate

in good faith without the necessity of any formal arbitration proceedings.

During the negotiation process, all reasonable requests made by one officer to

the other for information will be honored. The specific format for such

discussions will be decided by the designated officers.

B. If the officers cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of their

first meeting, the parties will agree to submit the dispute to formal

arbitration. However, the parties may agree in writing to extend the negotiation

period for an additional thirty (30) days.

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE XIII

ARBITRATION

A. It is the intention of the CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER that the customs

and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry will be given full

effect in the operation and interpretation of this Agreement. The parties agree

to act in all things with the highest good faith. If after the negotiation

required by Article XII, the REINSURER or the CEDING COMPANY cannot mutually

resolve a dispute that arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the dispute

will be decided through arbitration. The arbitrators will base their decision on

the terms and conditions of this Agreement plus, as necessary, on the customs

and practices of the insurance and reinsurance industry rather than solely on a

strict interpretation of the applicable law. There will be no appeal of their

decision, and any court having jurisdiction of the subject matter and the

parties, may reduce that decision to judgement.

B. To initiate arbitration, either the REINSURER or the CEDING COMPANY will

notify the other party in writing of its desire to arbitrate, stating the nature

of its dispute and the remedy sought. The party to which the notice is sent will

respond to the notification in writing within ten (10) days of its receipt.

C. There will be three arbitrators who will be current or former officers of

life insurance companies other than the contracting companies or affiliates

thereof. Each of the contracting companies will appoint one of the arbitrators

and these two arbitrators will select the third. If either party refuses or

neglects to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days, the other party may

appoint the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators do not agree on a third

arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, then the appointment of

said arbitrator will be left to the President of the American Arbitration

Association. Once chosen, the arbitrators are empowered to decide all

substantive and procedural issues by majority of votes.

D. It is agreed that each of the three arbitrators should be impartial regarding

the dispute and should resolve the dispute on the basis described in Section A

of this Article.

E. The arbitration hearing will be held on the date fixed by the arbitrators in

New York City. In no event will this date be later than three (3) months after

the appointment of the third arbitrator. As soon as possible, the arbitrators

will establish pre-arbitration procedures as warranted by the facts and issues

of the particular case. At least ten (10) days prior to the arbitration hearing,

each party will provide the other party and the arbitrators with a detailed

statement of the facts and arguments they will present at the arbitration

hearing. The arbitrators may consider any relevant evidence; they will give the

evidence such weight as they deem it entitled to after consideration of any

objections raised concerning it. Each party may examine any witnesses who

testify at the arbitration hearing.

F. The cost of arbitration will be divided between the parties, unless the

arbitrators decide otherwise.

ARTICLE XIV

RIGHT TO OFFSET BALANCES DUE

The CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER shall have, and may exercise at any time,

the right to offset any balance or balances due one party to the other, its

successors or assignees, against balances due to the other party under this

Agreement provided such amounts are not in dispute in accordance with Article

VI. This right of offset shall not be affected or diminished because of the

insolvency of either party to this Agreement.

Effective October 1, 2000

ARTICLE XV

CONTRACT AND PROGRAM CHANGES

A. The CEDING COMPANY may amend, substitute, add or delete variable investment

funds to the investment options supporting the annuity contract as described in

the contract general provisions. No such change will be made by the CEDING

COMPANY without prior notification to the REINSURER and without the prior

approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if necessary. The CEDING

COMPANY agrees to maintain at all times a satisfactory selection of core

investment options with characteristics similar to those listed in Schedule B.

B. The CEDING COMPANY shall also give the REINSURER advance notice of any other

changes to its annuity product design and/or death benefit design, its contract

level and fund level fees and charges, its distribution systems and/or methods,

or the addition of any riders to any contract forms reinsured hereunder.

C. Should any such change, as stated above, result in a material change in the

underlying risk, the REINSURER shall have the right to modify, for that product

line only, the premium rates by an amount which would reflect the change(s) made

to the contracts in order to restore the REINSURER to its original position. In

the event that reconciliation cannot be addressed via a change in premiums,

changes in other areas may be required and will be subject to mutual agreement.

D. The reinsurance premium structure described above shall remain in effect as

long as the death benefit design, contract fees, mortality and expense charges,

administration fees and contingent deferred sales charges in effect at the

inception of this Agreement remain unchanged.

E. The CEDING COMPANY agrees to provide the REINSURER with all contractholder

communications as though the REINSURER were a contractholder in the State of

Delaware. Such communication includes any items required to be submitted by the

Securities and Exchange Commission or the State of Delaware including but not

limited to the prospectus and any supplements thereto.

CONFIDENTIALITY

A. This Agreement incorporates the confidentiality agreement previously agreed

to between the parties on October 14, 1998 (the "Confidentiality Agreement") a

means other than by either party or their agents, or unless the disclose is

required for retrocession purposes, has been mandated by law, or is duly

required by external auditors.

B. The CEDING COMPANY and the REINSURER agree that all facts or information

received by any party related to a contract owner shall remain confidential,

unless such facts or information is required to be disclosed by any regulatory

authority or court of competent jurisdiction.

For purposes of this Agreement, Personal Information means financial and medical

information that identifies an individual personally and is not available to the

public, including, but not limited to, credit history, income, financial

benefits, policy or claim information and medical records.

All parties agree to use and disclose Personal Information only to carry out the

F. REINSURANCE PREMIUMS

The provisions of Article V of the underlying Agreement shall apply except as

noted herein.

1. The reinsurance premium is an asset-based premium rate which shall be

applied to the average aggregate account value over the reporting period inforce

multiplied by the quota share percentage reinsured by the REINSURER and further

multiplied by the Premium Adjustment Factor (PAF) determined as shown in the

following formula:

[REDACTED]

The PAF will be based on the sum of all uncapped EDBMNAR resulting from each

contract owned by any individual life.

The above PAF will change for each reporting period as long as the sum of all

uncapped EDBMNAR for any individual life exceeds one million dollars

($1,000,000), adjusted by the quota share percentage reinsured. Should the sum

of all uncapped EDBMNAR for any individual life decrease below one million

dollars ($1,000,000), adjusted by the quota share percentage reinsured, then the

PAF for that individual life reverts to 100%.

2. The premium rate levels vary by issue age and underlying GMDB design. The

annualized reinsurance premium rates are shown in EXHIBIT II-1 attached to this

Amendment and are expressed in terms of basis points. In practice, the

reinsurance premiums shall be applied on a monthly basis by utilizing 1/12th of

the annualized rates. The reporting period is monthly.

3. The YRT reinsurance premium rate described in Article V, Paragraph A of the

underlying Agreement does not apply to reinsurance on the EDB-XX Xxxxx.

ARTICLE II

COMMENCEMENT AND TERMINATION OF LIABILITY

A. On reinsurance ceded under the terms of this Agreement, the liability of the

REINSURER shall commence simultaneously with that of the CEDING COMPANY. The

liability under this Agreement will terminate either:

1. in accordance with the Duration of Agreement provisions of this Agreement

as stated in Article XX; or,

2. for an individual contract, upon the earliest of the following occurrences

defined in the contract(s) reinsured hereunder:

a. the date the owner elects to annuitizc

b. surrender or termination of the contract

c. the CEDING COMPANY's receipt of due proof of death of a single owner

or annuitant where such death triggers the payment of a contractual

death benefit, except when spousal continuance has been elected. On

spousal continuance election the REINSURER's liability will be

terminated upon death of the continuing spouse;

d. attainment of the maximum annuity commencement date (as described in

the contract forms shown in Schedule A), not to exceed age 105.

3. for an individual contract, reinsurance coverage will cease on the first

day of the month following a withdrawal that causes the Account Value of

the contract to fall below four-thousand-dollars ($4,000). Once reinsurance

coverage ends for a specific contract, it cannot be reinstated under this

Agreement.

NOTE: The provisions of this Paragraph 3 apply only to contracts for which

the GMDB is reduced dollar-for-dollar for partial surrender and not to

contracts issued with the Amendatory Rider.

B. The REINSURER shall be liable to reimburse claims only on those deaths where

the actual date of death is on or after October 1, 2000, in accordance with

Amendment No. 3

[LOGO]

HARTFORD LIFE

GUARANTEED INCOME BENEFIT RIDER

The term "Contract" as used in this rider applies to either a contract or a

certificate. The term "Contract Owner" as used in this rider applies to a

contract owner, certificate owner or certificate participant, as the case may

be.

This rider is issued as part of the contract to which it is attached. The

effective date is when this rider is issued and made part of the contract. This

rider cannot be terminated either by You or Us prior to the Annuity Commencement

Date. Except where this rider provides otherwise, it is subject to all of the

conditions and limitations of the contract.

When elected on the Contract Issue Date, this rider provides a guaranteed income

benefit that gives You the right to make periodic surrenders that total an

amount equal to Your premium payments. This guarantee will remain in effect if

periodic surrenders do not exceed an amount equal to 7% of premium payments each

Contract Year. If the Contract Owner chooses to surrender an amount more than 7%

in a Contract Year, then the guarantee may be reduced to an amount less than

premium payments in accordance with the provisions of this rider.

When this rider is elected after the Contract Issue Date, the guaranteed income

benefit will be based on the amount of the Contract Value on the effective date

of the rider plus premium payments made subsequent to the effective date of this

rider. Accordingly, for purposes of this rider, the Contract Value plus premium

payments made subsequent to the effective date of this rider will be treated in

the same manner as premium payments when this rider is effective on the Contract

Issue Date.

There is an additional charge for this guaranteed income benefit.

If your Contract Value Increases, You have the right to "step-up" the guaranteed

benefit to the current Contract Value at certain intervals. We may modify the

charge for this rider if You elect to step-up.

At any point in time, the total guaranteed amount available for future periodic

surrenders is called the Guaranteed Remaining Balance (GRB). The surrender

amount that the Contract. Owner has the right to make each Contract Year until

the GRB is depleted Is called the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Benefit (GAWB).

However, at any time You may surrender an amount up to Your Contract Value.

GUARANTEED REMAINING BALANCE (GRB)

Your GRB is determined at the following times and is subject to a maximum GRB of

$5,000,000:

At Rider Effective Date

If this rider is effective on the Contract Issue Date, then the GRB equals the

premium payments. If this rider is effective after the Contract issue Date, then

the GRB equals 100% of the Contract Value on the rider effective date.

When a subsequent premium Payment is made

Upon each subsequent premium payment, the GRB is recalculated to equal the sum

of the GRB immediately prior to receipt of the subsequent premium payment, plus

100% of the subsequent premium payment. The Company reserves the right to

restrict subsequent premium payments.

When a partial surrender is made

Whenever a partial surrender is made, the GRB will be equal to the amount

determined In either (A) or (B) as follows:

A. If the total partial surrenders since the later of (1) the most recent

Contract Anniversary, or (2) the Valuation Day that the Guaranteed Annual

Withdrawal Benefit (GAWB) was last established (excluding establishments for

subsequent premium payments), are equal to or less than the GAWB, the GRB

becomes the GRB immediately prior to the partial surrender, less the amount

of partial surrender.

B. If the total partial surrenders as determined in (A) above exceed the GAWB,

the GRB will have an automatic reset to the greater of zero or the lesser of

(i) or (ii) as follows:

(i) the Contract Value immediately following the partial surrender; or

(ii) the GRB immediately prior to the partial surrender, less the amount

of partial surrender.

For purposes of this rider, the term "partial surrender" is a gross amount and

will include any Contingent Deferred Sales Charges.

GUARANTEED ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT (GAWB)

Your GAWB is established at the following times:

At Rider Effective Date

7% of the GRB.

When a subsequent premium payment is made

Upon each subsequent premium payment, the GAWB is recalculated to equal the sum

of 7% of the subsequent premium payment plus the GAWB immediately prior to the

subsequent premium payment.

When a partial surrender is made that causes an automatic reset of the GRB (as

determined in (B) above)

The new GAWB will be the lesser of (C), (D), or (E) as follows:

C. the GAWB immediately prior to the partial surrender; or

D. the greater of 7% of the reset GRB or 7% of the Contract Value immediately

following the partial surrender; or

E. the reset GRB.

When a partial surrender is made that reduces the GRB to an amount less than the

GAWB

Whenever a partial surrender is made that reduces the GRB to an amount less than

the GAWB, the GAWB is reduced to equal the GRB.

ELECTIVE STEP-UP OF THE GRB AND GAWB

At the times determined below, the Contract Owner may elect to Step-up the GRB

and if applicable, the GAWB as follows:

GRB Step-up

Beginning with the 5th anniversary date of the effective date of this rider, the

Contract Owner has the option to increase the GRB to an amount equal to 100% of

the current Contract Value (herein referred to as Step-up). Once a Step-up has

been elected, another Step-up may not be elected until on or after the 5th

anniversary of the latest Step-up date.

If the surviving spouse becomes the Contract Owner under the contract's Spouse

Beneficiary provision, the next Step-up may be elected at anytime thereafter.

This is allowed regardless if it occurs before the 5th anniversary date of the

effective date of this rider or if the latest Step-up occurred within the last

five years. Once this Step-up has been elected, another Step-up may not be

elected until on or after the 5th anniversary of this Step-up.

In the future, We may allow You to Step-up Your GRB only on a Contract

Anniversary.

GAWB Step-up

The GAWB Step-up is equal to the greater of (H) or (I) as follows:

H. the GAWB immediately prior to the Step-up; or

I. 7% of the Contract Value on the Step-up date.

CONTRACT VALUE REDUCES TO ZERO

If the Contract Value reduces to zero on a particular Valuation Day as a result

of a partial surrender and on such Valuation Day the GRB remains greater than

zero, the following will occur:

J. The GRB will be paid to You on a periodic basis elected by You. The

frequencies will be among those offered by Us at that time but will be

no less frequently than annually.

K. The total annual payment amount will equal the GAWB.

L. We will no longer accept subsequent premium payments.

GUARANTEED INCOME BENEFIT ANNUITY OPTION

In addition to the Annuity options available under the contract, the following

annuity option may be elected by You under this rider:

Fixed Payout -- Under this option, You are entitled to receive payments in a

fixed dollar amount for a stated number of years. The actual number of years

that payments will be made is determined on the calculation date by dividing the

GRB by the GAWB. The total annual amount payable under this option will equal

the GAWB but will not exceed the current GRB. This annualized amount will be

paid over the determined number of years in the frequency that You elect. The

frequencies will be among those offered by Us at that time but will be no less

frequently than annually. If, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have been

made for less than the stated number of years, the remaining payments will be

made to the Beneficiary.

This option may not be available if the contract is issued to qualify under

Section 401, 403, 408, or 457 of the internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

For such contracts, this option will be available only if the guaranteed payment

period is less than the life expectancy of the annuitant at the time the option

becomes effective. Such life expectancy will be computed under the mortality

table then in use by Us.

This annuity option may be elected as a settlement option by the Beneficiary of

a contract. Whenever multiple Beneficiaries are designated under the contract,

each such Beneficiary's share of the proceeds if they elect this option will be

in proportion to their applicable designated Beneficiary percentage.

Beneficiaries of nonqualified contracts may elect this settlement option subject

to the Distribution Requirements section of the contract.

RIDER CHARGE

The charge for this rider is added to the net investment factor. The net

investment factor for each Sub-Account is:

M. the net asset value per share of the corresponding fund at the end of

the valuation period (plus the per share amount of any unpaid

dividends or capital gains by that fund); divided by

N. the net asset value per share of the corresponding fund at the

beginning of the valuation period; minus

O. the mortality and expense risk charge and any applicable

administration charge, adjusted for the number of days in the

valuation period; minus

P. the charge for this rider, adjusted for the number of days in the

valuation period.

The charge for this rider per annum of the daily value of the Sub-Accounts is [

0.75%], subject to a guaranteed maximum charge of [ 0.75%]. The rider charge may

change if You elect to Step-up the GRB. However, the rider charge will never

exceed the lesser of the maximum charge or the charge currently offered for this

same benefit under newly issued riders. If the GRB is never Stepped-up by the

Contract Owner, the charge established on the effective date of this rider will

never change. The rider charge will be discontinued once an Annuity option

available under the contract becomes effective.
