THE UNITED STATES LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK (“We”, “Us”, the “Company”,
or “US LIFE”) agrees to provide benefits to the Owner in accordance with the provisions set forth
in this Contract and in consideration of the Application and/or confirmation thereof and Purchase
Payments We receive.
The value of amounts allocated to the Separate Account during the accumulation and annuity periods
is not guaranteed, and will increase or decrease in value based upon the investment experience of
the Variable Portfolios You choose.
The Separate Account Charge is charged against the assets of the Separate Account. This charge
includes fees for mortality and expense risk and the distribution expense. On an annualized basis
the charge equals 1.65%. These charges are assessed, on a simple interest basis, as a percentage
of the average daily ending value of the assets attributable to the Accumulation Units of the
Variable Portfolios to which your Contract Value is allocated. The daily charge is
1/365th of the annualized charge. Thus, the smallest annual effective rate of the
investment return that would have to be earned on assets of the Separate Account so that the dollar
amount of variable annuity payments will not decrease is 5.22%, compounded daily. The Contract’s
assumed rate of return is based on compound interest.
The Fixed Account Options, Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Fixed Account Option(s) or one or more fixed
account guarantee periods may not be available on the issue date. Please check with Your
registered representative for availability of these options as well as the Contract Data Page,
which lists available options.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE – If, within 10 days of receipt of this Contract (60 days if the Contract replaced
any other life insurance or annuity contract(s)) You are not satisfied with it, You may return this
Contract to Our Annuity Service Center or to the agent through whom the Contract was purchased.
The Company will refund the Purchase Payment or the Contract Value, whichever is greater, computed
as of the business day during which we receive the Contract. Upon such refund, the Contract shall
be void.
For Individual Retirement Annuities, or if a refund of the Purchase Payment(s) is otherwise
required, We reserve the right to allocate Your Purchase Payment(s) to the Cash Management
Portfolio until the end of the Right To Examine period.
With 30 days advance notice, we may cease offering Fixed Account Guarantee Period Options and/or
Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Options if market conditions are such that we are not able to
credit the Minimum Guarantee Rate shown on the Contract Data Page.

FS-993 (12/10) | 8 |
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Separate Account Accumulation Value under the Contract is the sum of the Accumulation Unit
Values held in the Variable Portfolios for You. The Company does not hold itself out to be a
trustee of the Separate Account.
NUMBER OF ACCUMULATION UNITS
Your Contract is credited with Accumulation Units of the Separate Account when amounts are
allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s). For that portion of each Purchase Payment and/or transfer
amount allocated to a Variable Portfolio, the number of Accumulation Units credited is equal to:
The sum of each Purchase Payment and/or transfer amount allocated to the Variable Portfolio reduced
by premium taxes, if any:
Divided by
The Accumulation Unit Value for that Variable Portfolio for the NYSE business day in which the
Purchase Payment or transfer amount is received.
The number of Accumulation Units will be reduced for Withdrawals of Contract Value, annuitizations,
amounts transferred out of a Variable Portfolio, the Contract Maintenance Fee, if applicable, and
applicable charges for any elected features as set forth in Endorsements to this Contract. Any
reduction to the Contract Value will be made as of the NYSE business day in which We receive all
requirements for the transaction, as appropriate.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE (AUV)
The AUV of a Variable Portfolio for any NYSE business day is calculated by subtracting (2) from (1)
and dividing the result by (3) where:
(1) | is the total value at the end of the given NYSE business day of the assets attributable to the Variable Portfolio minus any applicable liabilities other than those owed to You; | ||
(2) | is the amount equal to the daily Separate Account Charge plus the daily charge for any optional features that impose a daily charge; | ||
(3) | is the number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of the given NYSE business day. |
FIXED ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Fixed Account Accumulation Value, if any, is the sum of all amounts allocated or transferred to
the Fixed Account Option(s), if available, reduced by any applicable premium taxes, plus all
interest credited on the Fixed Account Option(s) during the period that You have Contract Value
allocated to the Fixed Account Option(s). This amount will be adjusted for Withdrawals,
annuitizations, transfers, the deduction of the Contract Maintenance Fee and applicable charges for
any elected features as set forth in Endorsements to this Contract. The Fixed Account Accumulation
Value will not be less than the minimum values required by law in the state where this Contract is
issued.
FIXED ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PERIOD OPTIONS AND INTEREST CREDITING
The portion of Your Contract Value within the Fixed Account Option(s), if any, is credited with
interest at rates guaranteed by Us for the Guarantee Period(s) selected. Interest is credited on a
daily basis at the then applicable effective interest rate for the applicable Guarantee Period.
You may select from one or more Guarantee Periods which We may offer at any particular time. We
reserve the right at any time to add or delete Guarantee Periods. A written notification will be
provided to the Owner at least 30 days prior to the discontinuation of a Guarantee Period. If You
have allocated any part of Your initial Purchase Payment to a Guarantee Period, the percentage
allocated, as well as the duration of the Guarantee Period, is shown on the election form and/or
confirmation thereof as completed by You.
FS-993 (12/10) | 9 |
The interest rate applicable to the allocation of a Purchase Payment or transfer of Contract Value
to a Guarantee Period is the rate in effect for that Guarantee Period at the time of the allocation
or transfer. If You have allocated or transferred amounts at different times to the Fixed Account
Option(s), each allocation or transfer may have a unique effective interest rate associated with
that amount. We guarantee that the effective annual rate of interest for the Fixed Account
Option(s), including any of the available Guaranteed Periods, will not be less than the Minimum
Guarantee Rate as mandated by Your state, and shown on the Contract Data Page.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
We will deduct the following charges from the Contract:
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE FEE
The charge as shown on the Contract Data Page, if applicable, will be deducted on each Contract
anniversary on or prior to the Annuity Date. It will also be deducted when the Contract Value is
withdrawn in full if the Withdrawal is not on the Contract anniversary. We reserve the right to
waive the fee for Contract Values of $75,000.00 and up.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
The charge, as shown on the Contract Data Page, if any, may be deducted upon Withdrawal of any
portion of the Contract Value that is not considered a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. See WITHDRAWAL
PROVISIONS.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGE
This charge, as shown on the Contract Data Page, on an annualized basis equals a percentage of the
average daily ending value of the assets attributable to the Accumulation Units of the Variable
Portfolio(s) to which the Contract Value is allocated. This charge compensates Us for the
mortality and expense risk and the costs of contract distribution assumed by Us. We subtract this
charge daily.
TRANSFER FEE
We permit 15 free transfers between Variable Portfolios and/or available Fixed Account Option(s)
each Contract Year. We may charge You a fee, as shown on the Contract Data Page, for each
additional transfer that Contract Year, except for transfers made as part of an automated transfer
program.
TRANSFER PROVISIONS
Subject to applicable restrictions, You may transfer all or part of Your Contract Value amongst the
Variable Portfolios and/or available Fixed Account Option(s) (unless otherwise noted). The minimum
amount that can be transferred and the amount that can remain in a Variable Portfolio and/or
available Fixed Account Option are subject to Company limits. We reserve the right to restrict
Your transfer privileges.
Furthermore, the Underlying Funds, may have their own transfer policies that are applicable to this
Contract as a result of investment in the Variable Portfolios.
FS-993 (12/10) | 10 |
TRANSFERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
Before the Annuity Date, transfers are subject to certain restrictions as indicated above and on
the Contract Data Page. You may transfer all or a portion of Your Contract Value from one Variable
Portfolio to another Variable Portfolio(s) or any available Fixed Account Option(s) other than the
DCA Fixed Account Options. You may also transfer from any available Fixed Account Option(s) to the
Variable Portfolio(s) and/or any available Fixed Account Option(s) of the Contract. A transfer
will result in the redemption of Accumulation Units in a Variable Portfolio and the purchase of
Accumulation Units in the other Variable Portfolio. Transfers will be effected at the end of the
NYSE business day in which We receive Your completed request for the transfer.
TRANSFERS AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE
On and after the Annuity Date, transfers into and out of any available Fixed Account Option(s) are
not allowed. You may transfer all or a portion of Your Annuity Units from one Variable Portfolio
to another Variable Portfolio(s). A transfer will result in the redemption of Annuity Units in a
Variable Portfolio and the purchase of Annuity Units in the other Variable Portfolio. Transfers
will be effected for the last NYSE business day of the month in which We receive Your request for
the transfer.
WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
On or before the Annuity Date and while You are living, You may withdraw all or part of Your
Contract Value under this Contract by informing Us in writing in a form satisfactory to Us at Our
Annuity Service Center. For a full Withdrawal, this Contract must be returned to Our Annuity
Service Center. The minimum amount that can be withdrawn and the Minimum Amount Remaining After a
Partial Withdrawal are as shown on the Contract Data Page, subject to minimums set forth by the
laws of the State of New York. If the amount of a partial Withdrawal request reduces Your Contract
Value below the Minimum Amount Remaining After a Partial Withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data
Page, We may treat Your request as a request for a full Withdrawal.
Unless You tell Us otherwise in writing, Withdrawals will be deducted from the Contract Value in
proportion to their allocation among any available Fixed Account Option(s) and the Variable
Portfolios. Withdrawals will be based on values for the NYSE business day in which the request for
Withdrawal is received at Our Annuity Service Center. In the case of a full Withdrawal, the
Withdrawal will be based on values for the NYSE business day in which the request for Withdrawal
and the Contract are received at Our Annuity Service Center. Unless the SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS or
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS sections are in effect, payment of Withdrawals will be made within seven
calendar days.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
Withdrawals of all or a portion of the Contract Value may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge as
shown on the Contract Data Page. The Withdrawal Charge percentage applied to any withdrawal will
depend on how long the Purchase Payment to which the Withdrawal is attributed has been in the
Contract. No Withdrawal Charge is deducted on an amount which is considered a Penalty-Free
Withdrawal or a Purchase Payment no longer subject to a Withdrawal Charge.
For the purpose of determining the Withdrawal Charge applicable to a partial Withdrawal, the
Withdrawal will be attributed to amounts in the following order: (1) any remaining Penalty-Free
Withdrawal amount (except in the case of a full Withdrawal); (2) Purchase Payments not yet
withdrawn and no longer subject to Withdrawal Charges; (3) Purchase Payments not yet withdrawn and
still subject to Withdrawal Charges; and (4) any remaining Contract Value. A Purchase Payment, or
portion thereof, is considered withdrawn when the Withdrawal incurs a Withdrawal Charge, and are
assumed to be withdrawn on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You will not receive the benefit of
a Penalty-Free Withdrawal if You take a full Withdrawal.
FS-993 (12/10) | 11 |
The Withdrawal Charge will be assessed against the Variable Portfolio(s) and the available Fixed
Account Option(s) in the same proportion as the remaining Contract Value is allocated unless You
request that the Withdrawal come from a particular Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account
Option. If the amount of a partial Withdrawal request causes the Contract Value to be less than
the Minimum Amount Remaining After a Partial Withdrawal, as shown on the Contract Data Page, We may
treat Your partial Withdrawal request as a request for a full Withdrawal.
PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS
On any day in a Contract Year before the Annuity Date, You may make a partial Withdrawal of up to
the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as of that day without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. The
Maximum Penalty-Free Withdrawal Percentage, the Minimum Partial Withdrawal Amount and the Minimum
Amount Remaining After a Partial Withdrawal are shown on the Contract Data Page.
Each Contract Year, the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount is calculated as the Maximum Penalty-Free
Withdrawal Percentage multiplied by the remaining Purchase Payments not yet withdrawn and still
subject to Withdrawal Charges.
Although amounts withdrawn as Penalty-Free Withdrawals reduce the Contract Value, they do not
reduce the remaining Purchase Payments for purposes of calculating future Penalty-Free Withdrawal
amounts and Withdrawal Charges. Partial Withdrawals in a Contract Year that are in excess of the
Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount incur a Withdrawal Charge applicable to the remaining Purchase
Payments and reduce those Purchase Payments on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. If You choose to
take less than the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount during a Contract Year, You may not carry over
the unused Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount in any subsequent Contract Years. A Penalty-Free
Withdrawal is not available to You if You take a full Withdrawal.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
Prior to the Annuity Date, You may elect to participate in a Systematic Withdrawal Program by
informing Us at Our Annuity Service Center. The Systematic Withdrawal Program allows You to make
automatic Withdrawals from Your Contract monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. The minimum
systematic withdrawal amount is shown on the Contract Data Page. Any amount withdrawn through the
Systematic Withdrawal Program may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge as discussed in the WITHDRAWAL
CHARGE and PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS provisions. You may terminate Your participation in the
Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time by sending Us a written request.
DEATH PROVISIONS
Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, all payments of benefits under this
Contract will be made in a manner that satisfies the requirements of IRC Section 72(s), as amended
from time to time. If the Contract is owned by a trust or other non-natural person, We will treat
the death of any Annuitant as the death of the “Primary Annuitant” and as the death of any Owner.
DUE PROOF OF DEATH
Due Proof of Death means:
1. | a certified copy of a death certificate; or |
FS-993 (12/10) | 12 |
2. | a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or | ||
3. | a written statement by a medical doctor who attended the deceased Owner at the time of death; or | ||
4. | any other proof satisfactory to Us. |
DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE
We will pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary upon Our receiving all Required Documentation at Our
Annuity Service Center. Unless You have previously designated a payment option on behalf of the
Beneficiary, the Beneficiary must select one of the following options:
1. | Immediately collect the death benefit in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is elected, payment will be in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations governing payments on death; or | ||
2. | Collect the death benefit in the form of one of the Annuity Income Payment Options. If an Annuity Income Payment Option is desired, an option must be elected within 60 days of Our receipt of all Required Documentation. The annuity income payments must be over the life of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. Consistent with applicable tax rules, payments under this option generally must begin within one year after the Owner’s death, otherwise, the death benefit will be paid in accordance with option 1 above; or | ||
3. | If eligible, continue the Contract as the Spousal Beneficiary. On the Continuation Date, We will contribute to the Contract any amount by which the Death Benefit exceeds the Contract Value, calculated based on the Owner’s date of death. This amount is not considered a Purchase Payment except in the calculation of certain death benefits upon the death of the Spousal Beneficiary. If this option is elected, no death benefit is paid out to the Spousal Beneficiary on the Continuation Date; or | ||
4. | A payment option that is mutually agreeable between You and Us. |
The entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within the five year period specified under
applicable laws and regulations, commencing with the date of death of the Owner unless option 2 or
3 was selected under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.
You cannot change any elected death benefit option specified on the Contract Data Page. Upon
Spousal Continuation, Your Spousal Beneficiary cannot change any death benefit elected by You.
Upon the Spousal Beneficiary’s death, the entire interest of the Contract must be distributed
immediately under option 1 or 2 as provided under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.
AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT
Upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center, the Death Benefit
payable upon the death of the Owner will be calculated. The death benefit calculation is different
depending on whether a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit has been elected and
if the benefit has been terminated.
If You did not elect a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, We will calculate
the Death Benefit as the greater of:
FS-993 (12/10) | 13 |
1. | The Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or | ||
2. | Net Purchase Payment(s) received prior to the Owner’s 86th birthday. |
If You elected a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit as shown on the contract
Data Page, We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greater of:
1. | The Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or | ||
2. | Purchase Payment(s) received prior to the Owner’s 86th birthday reduced by: |
(a) | any Withdrawal Adjustments if the benefit has not been terminated; or | ||
(b) | any Withdrawal Adjustments prior to the date the benefit is terminated, and reduced proportionately by the amount by which each Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value on and after the date the benefit is terminated. |
Spousal Beneficiary Continuation
If the Spousal Beneficiary continues the Contract on the Continuation Date and upon Our receipt of
all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center, the Death Benefit payable upon the death
of the Spousal Beneficiary will be calculated. The death benefit calculation is different
depending on whether a living benefit or a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit has been elected
and if the benefit has been terminated.
If the Spousal Beneficiary was Age 85 or younger on the Continuation Date, and if the Owner did not
elect a living benefit or a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, We will calculate the Death
Benefit as the greater of:
1. | The Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or | ||
2. | The Contract Value on the Continuation Date, plus Purchase Payment(s) received since the Continuation Date and prior to the Spousal Beneficiary’s 86th birthday, and reduced proportionately by any Withdrawals after the Continuation Date. |
If the Spousal Beneficiary was Age 85 or younger on the Continuation Date, and if the Owner elected
a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, We will calculate the Death Benefit as
the greater of:
1. | The Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or | ||
2. | The Contract Value on the Continuation Date, plus Purchase Payment(s) received since the Continuation Date and prior to the Spousal Beneficiary’s 86th birthday, and reduced by: |
(a) | any Withdrawal Adjustments after the Continuation Date if the benefit has not been terminated; or |
FS-993 (12/10) | 14 |
(b) | any Withdrawal Adjustments after the Continuation Date and prior to the date the benefit is terminated, and reduced proportionately by any Withdrawals after the Continuation Date and on and after the date the benefit is terminated. |
Withdrawal Adjustments
If a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit is elected and the benefit has not
been
terminated, the amount of the Death Benefit will be adjusted for Withdrawals as follows:
1. | If the cumulative Withdrawals, in any Contract Year, are taken prior to your 81st birthday and are less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the amount of adjustment will be the amount of each Withdrawal; or | ||
2. | If cumulative Withdrawals in any Contract Year are taken prior to your 81st birthday and are in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the Contract Value and Death Benefit are first reduced by the Withdrawal amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount; then the Death Benefit is further reduced proportionately by the amount by which the Excess Withdrawal reduced the resulting Contract Value. | ||
3. | If Withdrawals are taken on or after your 81st birthday, the Death Benefit is reduced proportionately by the amount by which each Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. |
If the Spousal Beneficiary was age 86 or older on the Continuation Date, the Death Benefit will be
the Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive all Required Documentation at
Our Annuity Service Center.
DEATH OF OWNER OR ANNUITANT ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE
If any Owner or Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date and before the entire interest in the
Contract has been distributed, We will pay any remaining portion of the annuity income payment(s)
to the Beneficiary upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation. For further information
pertaining to death of the Annuitant, see ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENT OPTIONS.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is selected by the Owner. While the Owner is living and before the Annuity Date,
the Owner may change the Beneficiary by written notice. A change in Beneficiary will take effect
on the date We receive the written notice in a form satisfactory to Us at Our Annuity Service
Center. If two or more persons are named as Beneficiaries under the Contract, those surviving the
Owner will share equally unless otherwise specified by the Owner and each must elect to receive
their respective portions of the death benefit according to the options listed under DEATH OF OWNER
BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE. If the Annuitant survives the Owner, and there are no surviving
Beneficiaries, the Annuitant will be deemed the Beneficiary.
Joint Owners, if applicable, shall be each other’s primary Beneficiary. Joint Annuitants, if any,
when the Owner is a non-natural person, shall be each other’s primary Beneficiary. Any other
Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary.
If the Owner is also the Annuitant and there are no surviving Beneficiaries, upon Our receipt of
all Required Documentation, We will pay the Death Benefit to the estate of the Owner in accordance
with option 1, under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.
FS-993 (12/10) | 15 |
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
ANNUITY DATE
You may specify an anticipated Annuity Date. You may change the Annuity Date at any time, at least
seven days prior to the Annuity Date, by written notice to Us at Our Annuity Service Center. The
Annuity Date must always be the first day of the calendar month. The Earliest Annuity Date After
the Contract Date is shown on the Contract Date Page. The Annuity Date must not be beyond the
Latest Annuity Date shown on the Contract Data Page. If no Annuity Date is specified by You, the
Annuity Date will be the Latest Annuity Date.
PAYMENTS TO OWNER
Unless You request otherwise, We will make annuity income payments to You. If You want the annuity
income payments to be made to some other Payee, We will make such annuity income payments subject
to receipt of a written request signed by You and filed at the Annuity Service Center no later
than thirty (30) days before the due date of the first annuity income payment or subsequent annuity
income payment.
Any such request is subject to the rights of any assignee. No annuity income payments available to
or being paid to the Payee while the Annuitant is alive can be transferred, commuted, anticipated
or encumbered.
BETTERMENT OF RATES
The amount of the Owner’s initial monthly payment will be at least equal to the monthly payment
produced by the application of an amount equal to the Contract Value of this Contract to purchase
any single consideration immediate annuity contract offered by the Company at the same time to the
same class of annuitants. We are not currently offering any single premium immediate annuity
contracts.
FIXED ANNUITIZATION
If a Fixed Annuitization has been elected, the proceeds payable under this Contract less any
applicable premium taxes, shall be applied to the payment of the fixed annuity income payment
option elected at rates which are at least equal to the annuity rates based upon the applicable
tables in the Contract. In no event will the Fixed Annuitization be changed once it begins.
AMOUNT OF FIXED ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS
The amount of each fixed annuity income payment will be determined by applying the portion of the
Contract Value allocated by You for Fixed Annuitization on the Annuity Date, less any applicable
premium taxes, to the annuity factor applicable to the fixed annuity income payment option chosen.
In no event will the Fixed Annuitization be changed once it begins.
AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS
(a) | FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENT: The dollar amount of the first Variable Annuitization payment will be determined by applying the portion of the Contract Value allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s) on the Annuity Date, less any applicable premium taxes, to rates which are at least equal to the annuity rates based upon the annuity factor applicable to the variable annuity income payment option chosen. If the Contract Value is allocated to more than one Variable Portfolio, the value of Your interest in each Variable Portfolio is applied separately to the variable annuity income payment option table to determine the amount of the first annuity income payment attributable to each Variable Portfolio. | |
(b) | NUMBER OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNITS: The number of Annuity Units for each applicable Variable Portfolio is the amount of the first annuity income payment attributable to that Variable Portfolio divided by the value of the applicable Annuity Unit for that Variable Portfolio as of the Annuity Date. The number of Annuity Units will not change as a result of investment experience. |
FS-993 (12/10) | 16 |
(c) | VALUE OF EACH VARIABLE ANNUITY UNIT: The value of an Annuity Unit may increase or decrease from one month to the next. For any month, the value of an Annuity Unit of a particular Variable Portfolio is the value of that Annuity Unit as of the last NYSE business day of the preceding month, multiplied by the Net Investment Factor for that Variable Portfolio for the last NYSE business day of the current month. |
The Net Investment Factor for any Variable Portfolio for a certain month is determined by dividing
(1) by (2) and multiplying by (3) where:
(1) | is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Variable Portfolio determined as of the last business day at the end of that month, and | ||
(2) | is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Variable Portfolio determined as of the last business day at the end of the preceding month, and | ||
(3) | is a factor that neutralizes the assumed investment rate of 3.5%. |
(d) | SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS: After the first Variable Annuitization payment, subsequent Variable Annuitization payments will vary in amount according to the investment performance of the applicable Variable Portfolio(s) in which You are invested. The amount may change from month to month. The amount of each subsequent payment for each Variable Portfolio is (1) multiplied by (2) where: |
(1) | Is the number of Annuity Units for each Variable Portfolio as determined for the first annuity income payment | ||
(2) | Is the value of an Annuity Unit for that Variable Portfolio at the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which payment is due. |
We guarantee that the amount of each Variable Annuitization payments will not be affected by variations in Our expenses or mortality experience. |
GENERAL PROVISIONS
ENTIRE CONTRACT
The Entire Contract between You and Us consists of this Contract, this Application and/or
confirmation thereof, and any attached endorsement(s) or rider(s). An agent cannot change the
terms or conditions of this Contract. Any change must be in writing and approved by Us. Only Our
President, Secretary, or one of Our Vice-Presidents can give Our approval. All statements made by,
or under the authority of, the applicant for the issuance of this Contract shall be deemed
representations and not warranties.
CHANGE OF ANNUITANT
If the Owner is an individual, the Owner may change the Annuitant(s) at any time prior to the
Annuity Date. To make a change, the Owner must send a written notice to Us at least 30 days before
the Annuity Date. If the Owner is a non-natural person, the Owner may not change the Annuitant.
FS-993 (12/10) | 17 |
DEATH OF ANNUITANT
If the Owner is a natural person, the Owner and Annuitant are different, and the Annuitant dies
before the Annuity Date, the Owner becomes the Annuitant until the Owner elects a new Annuitant. If
there are Joint Annuitants, upon the death of any Annuitant prior to the Annuity Date, the Owner
may elect a new Joint Annuitant. However, if the Owner is a non-natural person, We will treat the
death of any Annuitant as the death of the “Primary Annuitant” as defined in the IRC, and as the
death of the Owner, as explained in the DEATH PROVISIONS.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the Age or sex of any Annuitant has been misstated, future annuity payments will be adjusted
using the correct Age and sex, according to Our rates in effect on the date that annuity payments
were determined. Any overpayment, plus interest at the rate of 4% per year, will be deducted from
the next payment(s) due. Any underpayment, plus interest at the rate of 4% per year, will be paid
in full with the next payment due.
With respect to Contract issue Age and other age driven features in the Contract, should We
discover a misstatement of Age, We reserve the right to fully pursue Our remedies including
possible or revocation of any Age driven benefits.
PROOF OF AGE, SEX, OR SURVIVAL
We may require satisfactory proof of correct Age or sex at any time. If any payment under this
Contract depends on the Annuitant being alive, We may reasonably require satisfactory proof of
survival.
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may defer making payments, subject to state requirements, from the available Fixed Account
Option(s) for up to six (6) months. Interest will be credited during any deferral period exceeding
the number of days as specified by the state at the rate currently paid by Us on proceeds left
under the interest-only settlement option.
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS
We may suspend or postpone any payments from the Variable Portfolios if any of the following occur:
(a) | the NYSE is closed; | |
(b) | trading on the NYSE is restricted; | |
(c) | an emergency exists such that it is not reasonably practical to dispose of securities in the Variable Portfolios or to determine the value of its assets; | |
(d) | the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits for the protection of Owners; or | |
(e) | We are on notice that this Contract is the subject of a court proceeding, an arbitration, a regulatory matter or other legal action. |
Conditions in (b) and (c) will be decided by or in accordance with rules of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission.
CONFORMITY WITH STATE LAWS
The provisions of this Contract will be interpreted by the laws of the State of New York, the state
in which this Contract is delivered. Any provision which, on the Contract Date, is in conflict
with the law of such state is amended to conform to the minimum requirements of such law. The
paid-up annuity benefits, cash surrender benefits, and death benefits provided under this Contract
are not less than those required by the state where the contract was issued.
FS-993 (12/10) | 18 |
CHANGES IN LAW
If the laws governing this Contract or the taxation of benefits under the Contract change, We will
amend this Contract, subject to New York State Department of Financial Services approval, to comply
with any changes.
ASSIGNMENT / CHANGE OF OWNER
Unless restricted by federal tax law, You may assign this Contract before the Annuity Date, but We
will not be bound by an assignment unless the request for assignment is signed by You and received
by Us. Your rights and those of any other person referred to in this Contract will be subject to
the assignment. Certain assignments may be taxable. We do not assume any responsibility for the
validity or tax consequences of any assignment. We reserve the right to not recognize assignments
if it changes the risk profile of the Owner of the Contract as determined in Our sole discretion.
INSURABLE INTEREST
Evidence must exist that the Owner(s), Annuitant(s) or Beneficiary(ies) will suffer a financial
loss at the death of the life that triggers the death benefit. Generally, We consider an interest
insurable if a familial relationship and/or economic interest exists. A familial relationship
generally includes those persons related by blood or by law. An economic interest exists when the
Owner has a lawful and substantial economic interest in having the life, health or bodily safety of
the insured life preserved.
CLAIMS OF CREDITORS
To the extent permitted by law, no right or proceeds payable under this Contract will be subject to
claims of creditors or legal process.
PREMIUM TAXES OR OTHER TAXES
We may deduct from Your Contract Value any premium tax or other taxes payable to a state or other
government entity, if applicable. Should We advance any amount so due, We are not waiving any
right to collect such amount at a later date. We will deduct any withholding taxes required by
applicable law.
WRITTEN NOTICE
Any notice We send to You will be sent to Your address shown in the Application and/or confirmation
thereof unless You request otherwise. Any written request or notice to Us must be sent to Our
Annuity Service Center, as specified on Page 1 of this Contract.

At least once during each Contract Year, We will send You a statement of the account activity of
the Contract. The statement will include all transactions which have occurred during the
accounting period shown on the statement and other required information.

Contract Date during the lifetime of any Owner who is required to provide Us with information
concerning their Age, sex and identity. Accurate statements as to any Owner’s Age, sex and
identity are required as a condition of issuing this Contract. The Incontestability of this
Contract applies to any statements any Owner makes, except as otherwise stated in the Misstatement
of Age or Sex Provision.
NONPARTICIPATING
This Contract does not share in Our surplus.
FS-993 (12/10) | 19 |
WAIVER
Our waiver of any of the terms and conditions under this Contract will not be deemed to constitute
waiver of the right to enforce strict compliance.

VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENT OPTIONS TABLE
BASIS OF COMPUTATION
The actuarial basis for the Table of Annuity Rates is the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with an
effective annual Assumed Investment Rate of 3.50%, with quinquennial age setbacks. For every five
years that the Contract has been in effect at the time of annuitization, the Annuitant’s age will
be set back by one year to determine the applicable factors. The Variable Annuity Income Payment
Options Table does not include any applicable premium tax.
