You may return the Contract by delivering or mailing it to FSBL. If returned, this Contract will then be deemed void from the beginning.

Signed for First Security Benefit Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York on the Contract Date.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THIS CONTRACT

This is a FLEXIBLE PREMIUM DEFERRED VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT.

*	Purchase Payments may be made until the earlier of the Annuity Start Date or termination of the Contract

*	A death benefit may be paid prior to the Annuity Start Date according to the Contract provisions

*	Annuity Payments begin on the Annuity Start Date using the method specified in the Contract

*	This Contract is non-participating and does not participate in FSBL’s surplus

The smallest annual net rate of return that would have to be earned on the assets of the Separate Account so that the dollar amount of variable Annuity Payments would not decrease is 3 ½%. The annual net rate of return is based upon the rate of return of the underlying mutual fund reduced by expenses of the Separate Account, including the maximum mortality and expense risk charge of 1.20%, the maximum administration charge of 0.65%, and any applicable rider charges.

Benefits and values provided by this Contract are based upon the investment experience of the Separate Account and are variable. These amounts may increase or decrease and are not guaranteed as to dollar amount. (See “Contract Value and Expense Provisions” and “Annuity Benefit Provisions” for details.)

A separate account established and maintained by FSBL under New York law. The Separate Account as set forth on the Contract Data Page is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a Unit Investment Trust. It was established by FSBL to support variable annuity contracts. FSBL owns the assets of the Separate Account and maintains them apart from the assets of its General Account and its other separate accounts. The assets held in the Separate Account equal to the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Separate Account may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business FSBL may conduct. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from assets in the Separate Account are credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account without regard to the income, gains or losses from FSBL's General Account or its other separate accounts.

The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts shown on the Contract Data Page.

FSBL has the right to transfer to its General Account any assets of the Separate Account that are in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Separate Account. The value of the assets in the Separate Account is determined on each Valuation Date as of the end of each Valuation Date.

SUBACCOUNTS

The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts which invest in shares of mutual funds. Each Subaccount may invest its assets in a separate class or series of a designated mutual fund or funds.

change or add designated mutual funds or other investment vehicles;

add, remove or combine Subaccounts;

add, delete or make substitutions for securities that are held or purchased by the Separate Account or any Subaccount;

operate the Separate Account as a management investment company;

combine the assets of the Separate Account with other separate accounts of FSBL or an affiliate thereof;

restrict or eliminate any voting rights of the Owner with respect to the Separate Account or other persons who have voting rights as to the Separate Account; and

terminate and liquidate any Subaccount.

If any of these changes result in a material change to the Separate Account or a Subaccount, FSBL will notify you of the change. FSBL will not change the investment policy of any Subaccount in any material respect without complying with the filing and other procedures of the insurance regulators of the state of issue.

TRANSFER

A Transfer of Contract Value of one Subaccount for the equivalent dollar amount of Contract Value of another Subaccount.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

THE CONTRACT

The entire Contract between the Owner and FSBL consists of this Contract, and any Amendments, Endorsements or Riders to the Contract. All statements made in the Application by the Applicant will be deemed representations and not warranties. Any change in the Contract can be made only with the written consent of the President, a Vice President, or the Secretary of FSBL.

The Purchase Payment(s) and the Application must be acceptable to FSBL under its rules and practices. If they are not, FSBL's liability shall be limited to a return of the Purchase Payment(s).

COMPLIANCE

FSBL reserves the right to make any change to the provisions of this Contract to comply with or give the Owner the benefit of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation. This includes, but is not limited to, requirements for annuity contracts under the Internal Revenue Code or the laws of any state. FSBL will provide the Owner with a copy of any such change and will also file such a change with the insurance regulatory officials of the state of New York.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE

If the age of the Annuitant has been misstated, payments shall be adjusted, when allowed by law, to the amount which would have been provided for the correct age. Proof of the age of an Annuitant may be required at any time, in a form suitable to FSBL. If payments have already commenced and the misstatement has caused an underpayment, the amount of such underpayment, with interest at the rate of 3%, will be paid with the next scheduled payment. If the misstatement has caused an overpayment, the amount of such overpayment, with interest at the rate of 3%, will be deducted from one or more future payments.

EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL

Before FSBL makes a payment, it has the right to require proof of the life or death of any person whose life or death determines whether, or to whom, or how much FSBL must pay under this Contract.

INCONTESTABILITY

FSBL will not contest the validity of this Contract.

ASSIGNMENT

No Assignment under this Contract is binding unless Received by FSBL in writing. FSBL assumes no responsibility for the validity, legality, or tax status of any Assignment. The Assignment will be subject to any payment made or other action taken by FSBL before the Assignment is Received by FSBL. Once Received by FSBL, the rights of the Owner are subject to the Assignment. Any claim is subject to proof of interest of the assignee. If the Contract has been absolutely assigned, the assignee becomes the Owner.

FSB254 (5-13)U

TRANSFERS

The Owner may Transfer Contract Value among the Subaccounts upon written request or under other methods allowed by FSBL, subject to the following.

FSBL reserves the right to:

limit the amount that may be subject to Transfer to $1,000,000 per Transfer;

limit the number of Transfers per Contract Year to six; and

suspend Transfers if the Owner engages in a market timing strategy or makes programmed transfers.

Transfers must be at least $500 or if less the amount remaining in the Subaccount.

FSBL will effect a Transfer to or from a Subaccount on the basis of Accumulation Unit Value determined as of the end of the Valuation Period in which the Transfer request is Received by FSBL. Transfers are effected as of the close of the Valuation Period in which all information required to make the Transfer is Received by FSBL.

After the Annuity Start Date, you may Transfer Annuity Units among the Subaccounts.

CLAIMS OF CREDITORS

The Contract Value and other benefits under this Contract are exempt from the claims of creditors to the extent allowed by law.

BASIS OF VALUES

A detailed statement showing how values are determined has been filed with the state insurance department. All values and reserves are at least equal to those required by the laws of the state in which this Contract is delivered.

PARTICIPATION

This Contract is not participating and does not participate in FSBL’s surplus.

STATEMENTS

At least once per year prior to the Annuity Start Date, FSBL will send you a report that will show your Contract Value and any other information required by law. After the Annuity Start Date, we will send you any information that may be required.

DELAY OF PAYMENT

Generally, payments and Transfers will be made within seven days from receipt of the payment and/or request in a form satisfactory to us. FSBL reserves the right to suspend a Transfer or delay payment of any cash surrender benefits (including Transfers, Withdrawals and Loans) from Contract Value for any period:

when the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or

when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; or

when an emergency exists as a result of which:

(a)

disposal of securities held in the Separate Account is not reasonably practicable; or

(b)

it is not reasonably practicable to fairly value the net assets of the Separate Account; or

during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits to protect owners of securities.

FSB254 (5-13)U

Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission will govern as to whether the conditions set forth above exist.

OWNERSHIP, ANNUITANT AND BENEFICIARY PROVISIONS

OWNERSHIP

During the Owner’s lifetime, all rights and privileges under the Contract may be exercised only by the Owner. If the purchaser names someone other than himself or herself as Owner, the purchaser has no rights in the Contract. No Owner may be older than age 90 on the Contract Date.

JOINT OWNERSHIP

If a Joint Owner is named in the application, then the Owner and Joint Owner share an undivided interest in the entire Contract as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. When an Owner and Joint Owner have been named, FSBL will honor only requests for changes and the exercise of other Ownership rights made by both the Owner and Joint Owner. When a Joint Owner is named, all references to “Owner” throughout this Contract should be construed to mean both the Owner and Joint Owner, except for the “Statements” provision on page 8 and the “Death Benefit Provisions” on page 16.

ANNUITANT

The Annuitant is named on the Contract Data Page. The Owner may change the Annuitant prior to the Annuity Start Date. The request for this change must be made in writing and Received by FSBL at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Start Date. No Annuitant may be named who is more than 90 years old on the Contract Date. When the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Start Date, the Owner must name a new Annuitant within 30 days or, if sooner, by the Annuity Start Date, except where the Owner is a Nonnatural Person. If a new Annuitant is not named, the Owner becomes the Annuitant.

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BENEFICIARIES

The Primary Beneficiary is named on the Contract Data Page. The Owner may change any Beneficiary as described in “Ownership and Beneficiary Changes” below. If the Primary Beneficiary dies prior to the Owner, the Secondary Beneficiary becomes the Primary Beneficiary. Unless the Owner directs otherwise, when there are two or more Primary Beneficiaries, they will receive equal shares.

OWNERSHIP AND BENEFICIARY CHANGES

Subject to the terms of any existing Assignment, you may name a new Owner, a new Primary Beneficiary or a new Secondary Beneficiary; provided that you may not change or remove an irrevocable Beneficiary without obtaining his or her written consent in a form acceptable to us. Any new choice of Owner, Primary Beneficiary or Secondary Beneficiary will revoke any prior choice. Any change must be made in writing and delivered to the Administrative Office. The change will become effective as of the date the written request is signed, whether or not the Owner is living at the time the change is Received by FSBL. A new choice of Primary Beneficiary or Secondary Beneficiary will not apply to any payment made or action taken by FSBL prior to the time it was Received by FSBL. FSBL may require the Contract be returned so these changes may be made.

FSB254 (5-13)U

PURCHASE PAYMENT PROVISIONS

FLEXIBLE PURCHASE PAYMENTS

This Contract will not be in force until we receive at our Administrative Office the initial Purchase Payment. You may make additional Purchase Payments at any time before the Annuity Start Date, while the Owner is living, and this Contract is in force. Purchase Payments are payable in U.S. dollars and checks should be made payable to FSBL.

PURCHASE PAYMENT LIMITATIONS

Purchase Payments exceeding $1,000,000 will not be accepted without prior approval by FSBL. The Minimum Subsequent Purchase Payment amount is shown on the Contract Data Page.

PURCHASE PAYMENT ALLOCATION

Purchase Payments will be allocated among the Subaccounts. The allocations may be a whole dollar amount or a whole percentage and no less than $25 per Purchase Payment may be allocated to any Account. Purchase Payments will be allocated according to the Owner's instructions in the Application or more recent instructions, if any. The Owner may change the allocations by written notice to FSBL.

PLACE OF PAYMENT

All Purchase Payments under this Contract are to be paid to FSBL at its Administrative Office. Purchase Payments after the initial Purchase Payment are applied as of the end of the Valuation Period during which they are Received by FSBL.

CONTRACT VALUE AND EXPENSE PROVISIONS

CONTRACT VALUE

On any Valuation Date, the Contract Value is the sum of the then current value of the Accumulation Units allocated to each Subaccount for this Contract. For example, if 100 Accumulation Units were allocated to “Subaccount 1” and “Subaccount 2” as of June 1, Contract Value as of that date would be determined as follows:

Subaccount	Number of Accumulation Units	Accumulation Unit Value as of June 1	Subaccount Value
Subaccount 1	100	$10	$1,000
Subaccount 2	100	$12	$1,200
Contract Value as of June 1			$2,200

FSBL reserves the right to pay to the Owner the Contract Value as a lump sum if it is below $2,000 and no Purchase Payments have been received during the preceding three-year period.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

The initial Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount was set by FSBL. The Accumulation Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to (1) times (2) where:

is the Accumulation Unit Value determined on the immediately preceding Valuation Date; and

FSB254 (5-13)U

is the Net Investment Factor as of the Valuation Date with respect to which Accumulation Unit Value is being determined.

The Accumulation Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date which is a Subaccount Payable Date is further adjusted by deducting any Subaccount Adjustment declared as of the preceding Subaccount Record Date. See “Method of Deducting Rider Charges,” below.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

The Net Investment Factor for any Subaccount as of the end of any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (1) by (2) and subtracting (3) from the result, where:

is equal to:

the net asset value per share of the mutual fund held in the Subaccount, found as of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus

the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions paid by the Subaccount's underlying mutual fund that is not included in the net asset value per share; plus or minus

a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which FSBL deems to have resulted from the operation of the Separate Account or the Subaccounts; operations of FSBL with respect to the Contract; or the payment of premiums or acquisition costs under the Contract.

is the net asset value per share of the Subaccount's underlying mutual fund as of the end of the prior Valuation Period.

is a daily factor which is deducted from the Separate Account representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and the Administration Charge.

The Accumulation Unit Value may increase or decrease from one Valuation Period to the next.

DETERMINING ACCUMULATION UNITS

The number of Accumulation Units allocated to a Subaccount under this Contract is found by dividing:

the amount allocated to, or deducted from, the Subaccount; by

the Accumulation Unit Value for the Subaccount as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the amount is allocated or deducted under the Contract.

The number of Accumulation Units allocated to a Subaccount under the Contract will not change as a result of investment experience. Events that change the number of Accumulation Units are:

Purchase Payments that are applied to the Subaccount;

Contract Value that is Transferred into or out of the Subaccount;

Withdrawals and applicable Withdrawal Charges that are deducted from the Subaccount;

Annuity Start Amount applied from the Subaccount to one of Annuity Options 1 through 6;

Premium tax and Account Charges that are deducted from the Subaccount; and

Reinvestment of Subaccount Adjustments that are paid by the Subaccount.

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

FSBL will deduct a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge as shown on the Contract Data Page against your Contract Value held in the Subaccounts. This charge is guaranteed not to increase.

ADMINISTRATION CHARGE

FSBL will deduct the Administration Charge shown on the Contract Data Page against your Contract Value held in the Subaccounts. This charge will be computed and deducted from each Subaccount on each Valuation Date. This charge is factored into the Accumulation Unit and Annuity Unit Values on each Valuation Date. This charge is guaranteed not to increase.

FSB254 (5-13)U

RIDER CHARGE

FSBL will deduct a charge for Riders as shown on the Contract Data Page against your Contract Value held in the Subaccounts. The amount of the charge for Riders is based upon the Riders selected by the Owner on the application or as otherwise permitted by FSBL.

METHOD OF DEDUCTING RIDER CHARGES

The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and Administration Charge as shown on the Contract Data Page will be computed and deducted from each Subaccount on each Valuation Date. Those charges are factored into the Accumulation Unit Values and the Annuity Unit Values on each Valuation Date.

Any charge for Riders (the “Rider Charge”) will be deducted from monthly Subaccount Adjustments paid by, and reinvested in, the respective Subaccounts. Subaccount Adjustments are declared by FSBL and paid monthly by the Subaccounts for the purpose of deducting any applicable Rider Charge.

The amount of the Rider Charge is determined by adding the charges for each Rider selected by the Owner. The Rider Charge is a percentage on an annual basis of Contract Value allocated to each Subaccount as of the Subaccount Payable Date.

FSBL will declare a Subaccount Adjustment for each Subaccount on one Valuation Date of each calendar month (“Subaccount Record Date”). FSBL will pay the Subaccount Adjustment on a subsequent Valuation Date (“Subaccount Payable Date”) within five Valuation Dates of the Subaccount Record Date. Such Subaccount Adjustment will be declared as a dollar amount per Accumulation Unit.

For each Subaccount, any Owner as of the Subaccount Record Date will receive on the Subaccount Payable Date a net Subaccount Adjustment equal to:

the amount of Subaccount Adjustment per Accumulation Unit; times

the number of Accumulation Units allocated to the Subaccount as of the Subaccount Record Date; less

the amount of the Rider Charge for that Subaccount; provided that FSBL will not deduct any Rider Charge from the first Subaccount Adjustment following the Contract Date.

The net Subaccount Adjustment will be reinvested on the Subaccount Payable Date at the Accumulation Unit Value determined as of the close of the Subaccount Payable Date in Accumulation Units of the Subaccount. The net Subaccount Adjustment shall never be less than zero.

FSBL reserves the right to compute and deduct the Rider Charge from each Subaccount on each Valuation Date in lieu of the method discussed above, in which event the charge would be factored into the Accumulation Unit Values on each Valuation Date.

Example

Assuming Contract Value of $50,000 allocated to “Subaccount 1” and the Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider, the Rider Charge would be as follows:

Rider Charge on Annual Basis

0.35%.

FSB254 (5-13)U

Further assuming 5,000 Accumulation Units with an Accumulation Unit Value of $10 per unit on December 30 and a gross Subaccount Adjustment of $0.025 per unit declared on December 31 (Subaccount Record Date), the net Subaccount Adjustment amount would be as follows:

Accumulation Unit Value as of Valuation Date before Subaccount Record Date		$10.00
Accumulation Unit Value as of Subaccount Payable Date		$ 9.975
Gross Subaccount Adjustment Per Unit		$ 0.025
Rider Charge Per Unit	-	$ 0.00298
Net Subaccount Adjustment Per Unit		$ 0.02202
Number of Accumulation Units	x	5,000
Net Subaccount Adjustment Amount		$ 110.10

The net Subaccount Adjustment amount would be reinvested on the Subaccount Payable Date in Accumulation Units of “Subaccount 1”, as follows: $0.02202 (net Subaccount Adjustment per unit) divided by $9.975 (Accumulation Unit value as of the Subaccount Payable Date) times 5,000 Units equals 11.038 Accumulation Units. On the Subaccount Payable Date, 11.038 Accumulation Units are added to Contract Value for a total of 5,011.038 Accumulation Units after the Subaccount Adjustment reinvestment. Contract Value on the Subaccount Payable Date is equal to 5,011.038Accumulation Units times $9.975 (Accumulation Unit Value as of the Subaccount Payable Date) for a Contract Value of $49,985.10 after the Subaccount Adjustment reinvestment.

The Rider Charge is not deducted from Annuity Unit Values.

ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION CHARGE

FSBL will deduct the Account Administration Charge (“Account Charge”) from Contract Value as shown on the Contract Data Page. FSBL will allocate the Account Charge to the Accounts in the same proportion that Contract Value is allocated among the Accounts. The Account Charge and other charges may be waived or reduced uniformly on all Contracts issued under certain plans or arrangements which are expected to result in administrative cost savings. This charge is guaranteed not to increase.

PREMIUM TAX EXPENSE

FSBL reserves the right to deduct Premium tax when due or any time thereafter. FSBL will allocate the Premium tax to the Accounts in the same proportion that Contract Value is allocated among the Accounts.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGES

Purchase Payments may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge, which is shown on the Contract Data Page. The Withdrawal Charge may apply to amounts you withdraw under your Contract, depending on the length of time each Purchase Payment has been allocated to your Contract and the amount you withdraw. FSBL does not apply the Withdrawal Charge on:

·	Death benefit proceeds; or

·	Annuity Payments.

The amount of the Withdrawal Charge depends on how long your Purchase Payments are held under the Contract. Each Purchase Payment you make is considered to have a certain “age,” depending on the length of time since that Purchase Payment was effective. A Purchase Payment is “age one” in the year beginning on the date the purchase payment is Received by FSBL and increases in age each year thereafter. When you withdraw an amount, the “age” of any Purchase Payment you withdraw determines the level(s) of Withdrawal Charge as shown on the Contract Data Page. For the purpose of calculating Withdrawal Charge, FSBL assumes that withdrawal amounts will be applied to Purchase Payments first in the order Purchase Payments were received. The Withdrawal Charge will be deducted proportionately from each Account selected for Withdrawal. This charge is guaranteed not to increase.

FSB254 (5-13)U

FREE WITHDRAWALS

During a Contract Year, you may make Free Withdrawals, which are Withdrawals that are not subject to the Withdrawal Charge. The amount of Free Withdrawals available in any Contract Year is determined as follows. In the first Contract Year, the amount is equal to:

cumulative purchase payments; times

the Free Withdrawal percentage shown on the Contract Data Page; less

any Free Withdrawals made during the Contract Year.

The amount of Free Withdrawals in subsequent Contract Years is equal to:

Contract Value as of the first day of the current Contract Year; times

the Free Withdrawal percentage shown on the Contract Data Page; less

any Free Withdrawals made during the Contract Year.

Unused Free Withdrawal amounts are not carried from one Contract Year to the next. Free Withdrawals do not reduce Purchase Payments for purposes of calculating the Withdrawal Charge on future Withdrawals.

MUTUAL FUND EXPENSES

Each Subaccount invests in shares of a mutual fund. The net asset value per share of each underlying fund reflects the deduction of any investment advisory and administration fees and other expenses of the fund. These fees and expenses are not deducted from the assets of a Subaccount, but are paid by the underlying funds. The Owner indirectly bears a pro rata share of such fees and expenses. An underlying fund’s fees and expenses are not specified or fixed under the terms of this Contract.

WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

WITHDRAWALS

A full or partial Withdrawal of Contract Value is allowed at any time prior to the Annuity Start Date while the Owner is living. Withdrawals will be effected as of the end of the Valuation Period in which the Withdrawal request is Received by FSBL, and payment will be made within the time frame required by applicable law. (Please see “Delay of Payment,” page 9 for a discussion of the circumstances under which payments may be delayed.) Withdrawals normally will be effective as of the close of the Valuation Period during which we receive your proper request. Any Withdrawal will reduce Contract Value by the amount of the Withdrawal, any Withdrawal Charges attributable to the Withdrawal, any Premium tax and, in the case of a full Withdrawal, any pro rata Account Charge.

Upon the Owner’s request for a full Withdrawal, FSBL will pay the Withdrawal Value in a lump sum, and the Contract will terminate. If you make a full withdrawal, we require return of your Contract or a signed Lost Contract Affidavit with your proper request.

All Withdrawals must meet the following conditions.

The request for Withdrawal must be Received by FSBL in writing or under other methods allowed by FSBL, if any;

The Owner must apply prior to the Annuity Start Date while this Contract is in force; and

The amount withdrawn must be at least $500, except upon a full Withdrawal.

FSB254 (5-13)U

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

A partial Withdrawal request must state the allocations for deducting the Withdrawal from each Account. If no allocation is specified, FSBL will deduct the Withdrawal from the Accounts in the same proportion that Contract Value is allocated among the Accounts. If your partial Withdrawal causes your Contract Value to be less than $2,000 immediately after the Withdrawal and no Purchase Payments have been made in the prior three years, we may terminate your Contract and send you the Withdrawal proceeds; provided, however, that FSBL shall not deduct any Withdrawal Charge in connection with such a Withdrawal.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS

Systematic Withdrawals are automatic periodic Withdrawals from Contract Value in substantially equal amounts prior to the Annuity Start Date. To start Systematic Withdrawals, you must make the request in writing, stating the type of payment, its frequency and allocations for such Withdrawals. If no allocation is specified, FSBL will deduct Systematic Withdrawals from the Accounts in the same proportion that Contract Value is allocated among the Accounts. Any Systematic Withdrawal will reduce Contract Value by the amount of the Systematic Withdrawal, any Withdrawal Charges attributable to the Systematic Withdrawal, and any Premium tax.

The type of payment may be:

in a fixed amount;

in Level Payments calculated by FSBL;

for a specified period;

a specified percentage;

earnings only; or

based upon the life expectancy of the Owner or the Owner and a beneficiary.

The payment frequency may be:

monthly;

quarterly;

semiannually; or

annually.

The minimum Systematic Withdrawal amount is $100 per payment. You may stop or change Systematic Withdrawals upon proper written request Received by FSBL at least 30 days in advance of the requested date of termination or change. FSBL reserves the right to stop, modify or suspend Systematic Withdrawals at any time.

WITHDRAWAL VALUE

The Withdrawal Value is the amount available for Withdrawal. The Withdrawal Value as of the close of any Valuation Date is the Contract Value less:

any Withdrawal Charges;

any pro rata Account Charge; and

any Premium tax due or paid by FSBL.

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS

DEATH BENEFIT

FSBL will pay a Death Benefit upon the death of the Owner prior to the Annuity Start Date while this Contract is in force. FSBL will pay the Death Benefit proceeds to the Designated Beneficiary when due Proof of Death and instructions regarding payment are Received by FSBL. Such proceeds will equal the amount of the Death Benefit

FSB254 (5-13)U

reduced by any charge for Premium tax due or paid by FSBL with respect to the Contract, and any pro rata Account Charge.

The Death Benefit is equal to the Contract Value as of the date due Proof of Death and instructions regarding payment are Received by FSBL.

If a lump sum payment is requested, the payment will be made in accordance with any laws and regulations that govern the payment of Death Benefits.

PROOF OF DEATH

Any of the following will serve as Proof of Death of the Owner:

certified copy of the death certificate;

certified decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death;

any proof accepted by FSBL.

DISTRIBUTION RULES

In the event of an Owner’s death prior to the Annuity Start Date, the entire Death Benefit shall be paid within 5 years after the death of the Owner, except as provided below. In the event that the Beneficiary elects an Annuity Option, the length of time for payment of the benefit may be longer than 5 years if:

The Designated Beneficiary is a natural person;

The Death Benefit is paid out under one of Annuity Options 1 through 6;

Payments are made over a period that does not exceed the life or life expectancy of the Beneficiary; and

Payments begin within one year of the death of the Owner.

If the deceased Owner’s spouse is the sole Designated Beneficiary, the spouse shall become the sole Owner of the Contract. He or she may elect to:

keep the Contract in force until the sooner of the spouse’s death or the Annuity Start Date; or

receive the Death Benefit.

If any Owner dies on or after the Annuity Start Date, Annuity Payments shall continue to be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of payment being used as of the date of the Owner’s death.

If the Owner is a Nonnatural Person, the distribution rules set forth above apply in the event of the death of, or change in, the Annuitant.

The foregoing distribution rules do not apply to a Contract, which is:

provided under a plan described in Code section 401(a) or 403(b);

an individual retirement annuity or provided under an individual retirement account or annuity; or

otherwise exempt from the Code section 72(s) distribution rules.

ANNUITY BENEFIT PROVISIONS

ANNUITY START DATE

The Annuity Start Date is the date as of which the first Annuity Payment is computed under one of the Annuity Options. The Annuity Start Date shall not be earlier than the 12-month anniversary of the Contract Date. The Owner may elect the Annuity Start Date at the time of application. If no Annuity Start Date is selected, FSBL will use the later of the:

FSB254 (5-13)U

the oldest Annuitant’s seventieth birthday; or

the tenth Contract Anniversary.

The Annuity Start Date must be prior to the later of the oldest Annuitant’s 90th birthday or the tenth Contract Anniversary.

CHANGE OF ANNUITY START DATE

The Owner may change the Annuity Start Date. A request for the change must be made in writing. The written request must be received by FSBL at least 30 days prior to the new Annuity Start Date as well as 30 days prior to the previous Annuity Start Date.

ANNUITY OPTIONS

The Contract provides for Annuity Payments to be made under one of Annuity Options 1 through 6. Your Annuity Option is shown on the Contract Data Page. Options 1 through 4 and 6 generally provide for payments to be made during the life of the Annuitant or Joint Annuitants. Under Option 5, Annuity Payments are made to the Annuitant and in the event of the Annuitant’s death before the end of the Period Certain term, to the Designated Beneficiary. If the Designated Beneficiary dies prior to the end of the Period Certain, remaining payments will be made to the Designated Beneficiary’s estate.Options 1 through 6 are available as a Fixed Annuity, a Variable Annuity or a combination of Fixed and Variable Annuity. The Annuity Options are shown below.

Prior to the Annuity Start Date, the Owner may change the Annuity Option selected. The Owner must request the change in writing. This request must be Received by FSBL at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Start Date.

OPTION 1

LIFE INCOME OPTION: This option provides Annuity Payments for the life of the Annuitant. Upon the Annuitant’s death, no further Annuity Payments will be made.

OPTION 2

LIFE INCOME WITH PERIOD CERTAIN OPTION: This option provides Annuity Payments for the life of the Annuitant. A fixed period of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years may be chosen. Annuity Payments will be made to the end of this period even if the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the period. If the Annuitant dies before receiving all of the Annuity Payments during the fixed period, the remaining Annuity Payments will be made to the Designated Beneficiary. Upon the Annuitant’s death after the period certain, no further Annuity Payments will be made.

OPTION 3

LIFE INCOME WITH INSTALLMENT OR UNIT REFUND OPTION: This option provides Annuity Payments for the life of the Annuitant, with a period certain determined by dividing the Annuity Start Amount by the amount of the first Annuity Payment. A fixed number of Annuity Payments will be made even if the Annuitant dies. If the Annuitant dies before receiving the fixed number of Annuity Payments, any remaining Annuity Payments will be made to the Designated Beneficiary. If the Annuitant dies after receiving the fixed number of Annuity Payments, no further Annuity Payments will be made.

OPTION 4

JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR OPTION: This option provides Annuity Payments for the lives of the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant. Annuity Payments will be made as long as either is living. Upon the death of one Annuitant, Annuity Payments continue to the surviving Joint Annuitant at the same or a reduced level of 75%, 66 2/3% or 50% of Annuity Payments, as elected by the Owner. With respect to Variable Annuity Payments, the number of Annuity Units used to determine the Annuity Payment, is reduced as of the first Annuity Payment following the Annuitant’s death. In the event of the death of one Annuitant, the surviving Joint Annuitant has the right to exercise all rights under the Contract. Upon the death of the last Annuitant, no further Annuity Payments will be made.

FSB254 (5-13)U

OPTION 5

PERIOD CERTAIN OPTION: This option provides Annuity Payments for a fixed period of 10, 15 or 20 years. Annuity Payments will be made until the end of this period. If the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the period, the remaining Annuity Payments will be made to the Designated Beneficiary.

OPTION 6

JOINT AND CONTINGENT SURVIVOR OPTION: This option provides Annuity Payments for the life of the primary Annuitant. Annuity Payments will be made to the primary Annuitant as long as he or she is living. Upon the death of the primary Annuitant, Annuity Payments will be made to the contingent Annuitant as long as he or she is living. If the contingent Annuitant is not living upon the death of the primary Annuitant, no further payments will be made.

ANNUITY START AMOUNT

Annuity Start Amount is Contract Value as of the Annuity Start Date, less any Premium tax and, if applicable, any pro rata Account Charge. Annuity Start Amount allocated to the Fixed Account is applied to purchase a Fixed Annuity and that allocated to the Subaccounts is applied to purchase a Variable Annuity. For Annuity Options 1 through 6, the Annuity Start Amount is divided by $1,000, and the result is multiplied by the applicable amount in the Annuity Tables to determine the minimum guaranteed monthly Annuity Payment with respect to a Fixed Annuity or the first monthly Annuity Payment with respect to a Variable Annuity, as adjusted for the Assumed Interest Rate

FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS

With respect to Fixed Annuity Payments, the amount set forth in the Annuity Tables as adjusted by the current rate of interest credited by FSBL, is the amount of each monthly Annuity Payment for Annuity Options 1 through 6. Neither expense actually incurred (other than tax on investment return), nor mortality actually experienced, shall adversely affect the dollar amount of Annuity Payments already commenced.

VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS

With respect to Variable Annuity Payments, the amount set forth in the Annuity Tables, as adjusted for the Assumed Interest Rate, is the amount of the first monthly Annuity Payment for Annuity Options 1 through 6. The amount of each Annuity Payment after the first for these options is computed by means of Annuity Units. Variable Annuity Payments will fluctuate with the performance of the Subaccount(s). Neither expense actually incurred (other than tax on investment return), nor mortality actually experienced, shall adversely affect the dollar amount of Annuity Payments.

ANNUITY TABLES

The amounts set forth in the Annuity Tables for Annuity Options 1 through 4 and 6 depend on the age of the Annuitant or the Joint Annuitants on the Annuity Start Date. The Annuity Tables are modified to reflect:

(1) the Assumed Interest Rate for Variable Annuity Payments; or

(2) the rate of interest in effect on the Annuity Start Date for Fixed Annuity Payments.

The rate of interest for Fixed Annuity Payments is guaranteed not to be less than 1.5%. The basis of the Annuity Tables for Options 1 through 4 and 6 is the 1983(a) Mortality Table projected for mortality improvement for 45 years using Projection Scale G and an interest rate factor equal to 1.5%. The Annuity Tables contain the amount of monthly Annuity Payment per $1,000 of Annuity Start Amount. The Annuity Tables state values for the exact ages shown.

The values will be interpolated based on the exact age(s) of the Annuitant or Joint Annuitants on the Annuity Start Date. The Assumed Interest Rate is set forth on the Contract Data Page. The Annuity Table for Option 5 is determined without reference to the age of the Annuitant and is based upon an interest rate factor equal to 1.5%. The Annuity Tables are used in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles..

FSB254 (5-13)U

ANNUITY PAYMENTS

If no Purchase Payments have been received by FSBL during the three-years preceding the Annuity Start Date, you may not select an Annuity Option that requires FSBL to make Annuity Payments of less than $20.00. If FSBL refuses to commence Annuity Payments of less than $20.00, FSBL will permit surrender of the contract, with no withdrawal charges. If no Annuity Option is chosen prior to the Annuity Start Date, FSBL will use Option 1 with a ten-year period certain. Each Annuity Option allows for making Annuity Payments annually, semiannually, quarterly or monthly. Annuity Payments due on a date other than a Valuation Date are paid as of the end of the next following Valuation Date.

ANNUITY UNITS

On the Annuity Start Date, the amount of the first Variable Annuity Payment is divided by the Annuity Unit Value as of that date to determine the number of Annuity Units to be used in calculating subsequent Annuity Payments. If the Annuity Start Amount was allocated to more than one Subaccount, the first Variable Annuity Payment will be allocated to each Subaccount in the percentage corresponding to the allocation of Annuity Start Amount. The number of Annuity Units for each Subaccount is then found by dividing the amount of the first Variable Annuity Payment allocated to that Subaccount by the Annuity Unit Value for the Subaccount on the Annuity Start Date. The number of Annuity Units for the Subaccount then remains constant, unless a Transfer of Annuity Units is made. After the first Variable Annuity Payment, the dollar amount of each subsequent Annuity Payment is equal to the sum of the payment amount determined for each Subaccount. The payment amount for each Subaccount is equal to the number of Annuity Units allocated to that Subaccount multiplied by the Annuity Unit Value as of the date of the Annuity Payment.

An example of an initial Variable Annuity Payment calculation, age 60. is as follows:

Annuity Start Amount = $100,000	$100,000 $1,000	= 100
Amount determined by reference in 1999 to Annuity Table, age 60, under Option 1
First Variable Annuity Payment	$4.44 100 x $4.44	= $444

Subaccount	Annuity Start Amount Allocation	First Variable Annuity Payment Allocation		Annuity Unit Value on Annuity Start Date		Number of Annuity Units Used to Determine Subsequent Payments
Subaccount 1	50%	$222.00	÷	$1.51	=	147.0199
Subaccount 2	50%	$222.00	÷	$1.02	=	217.6471

An example of a subsequent Variable Annuity Payment calculation using the assumptions above is as follows:

Subaccount	Annuity Units		Annuity Unit Value on Date of Subsequent Payment		New Annuity Payment Amount
Slubaccount 1	147.0199	x	$1.60	=	$235.23
Subaccount 2	217.6471	x	$1.10	=	$239.41
					$474.64

ANNUITY UNIT VALUE

The Annuity Unit Value for each Subaccount was first set by FSBL. The Annuity Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to (a) times (b) times (c), where:

(a)

is the Annuity Unit Value on the immediately preceding Valuation Date:

(b)

is the Net Investment Factor for the day;

FSB254 (5-13)U

(c)

is a factor used to adjust for the Assumed Interest Rate set forth on the Contract Data Page which is used to determine the first Variable Annuity Payment amount.

ALTERNATE ANNUITY OPTION RATES

Currently, FSBL does not sell single premium immediate annuities ("SPIAs"). However, in the future, FSBL may sell SPIAs. If so, any more favorable rates available under FSBL’s SPIAs will be given to the Annuitant.
