After eight years following the date we credit the premium, there will be no surrender charge applicable.

To determine the surrender charge, we first assume that your surrender or non-life payment option election is from amounts (other than earnings) that can be withdrawn without a surrender charge, then from other amounts (other than earnings) and then from earnings. Once we have calculated the total surrender charge amount we actually withdraw it from the fixed account and subaccount in the same proportion that the withdrawal is being made. In calculating the surrender charge, we do not include earnings, although the actual withdrawal to pay the surrender charge may come from earnings.

If you surrender the contract, we will deduct the surrender charge from the contract value in determining the cash surrender value. For a partial surrender, we will deduct the surrender charge from the amount surrendered or from contract value remaining after the amount requested is surrendered, according to your instructions.

Section 3: Proceeds

3.1 Types of Proceeds and Method of Payment

There are various types of proceeds available under this contract. These include:

·	Maturity proceeds

·	Death proceeds

·	Surrender proceeds

·	Partial surrender proceeds

·	Nursing Home Benefit proceeds

We will pay maturity, death or surrender proceeds either under a payment option (as described in Section 10, Payment of Proceeds) or in a lump sum. The amount of proceeds payable will vary by the type of proceeds and the form of payment selected. We will only pay partial surrender proceeds as a lump sum or under the Systematic Partial Surrender Plan described in Section 5.8.

We have the right to require that this contract be returned to us when maturity, surrender or death proceeds are paid.

To the extent permitted by law, proceeds will not be subject to any claims of your creditors or the beneficiary's creditors.

3.2 Maturity Proceeds

On the maturity date we will pay the maturity proceeds to the Annuitant, if living.

The maturity proceeds will be equal to:

(1)	the cash surrender value as described in Section 5.5 if you choose a lump sum or payment options 1, 2, or 3; or

(2)	the contract value as described in Section 5.1 if you choose payment options 4 or 5.

If you fail to make another selection of a payment option or lump sum payment, we will apply the contract value under payment option 4 with an installment refund option of 120 months. This means that the monthly payments will continue for a minimum of 120 months and as long thereafter as the Annuitant lives. If the Annuitant dies before receiving a total of 120 monthly payments, we will continue to make monthly payments to the beneficiary until a total of 120 payments have been made. The beneficiary may elect in writing to receive the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments in a single sum.

3.3 Death Proceeds

If the Annuitant dies before the maturity date, the beneficiary will receive a death benefit. The death benefit will be calculated depending upon which guaranteed death benefit option is in effect on the contract at the date of death. There is a Base Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, or at issue two enhanced options may be chosen at an additional charge. The two Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Options are:

·	The Annual Ratchet Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Option; and

·	The Enhanced Combination Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Option.

The issue requirements and Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Monthly Expense Charge vary for each Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Option. The monthly expense charge for each option is shown in Section 1, Contract Data.

Under the Base Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, we guarantee that the death benefit will be the greater of:

(1)	premium paid, proportionately adjusted for partial surrenders, less any loan balance; or

(2)	the contract value less any loan balance on the date we receive proof of the Annuitant's death.

This option is available at issue and at any time thereafter.

J188

Under the Annual Ratchet Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Option, we guarantee that the death benefit for the Annuitant's attained age 80 and below will be the greater of:

(1)	the death benefit calculated under the Base Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit; or

(2)	the highest contract value as of a contract anniversary during any point the contract has been in effect on or before the Annuitant’s death. Any loan balance will be deducted from such contract value and the contract value will also be proportionately adjusted for partial surrenders.

For the Annuitant's attained age 80 and above we guarantee that the death benefit will equal the greater of:

(a)	the contract value at the time of death; or

(b)	the value of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit on the contract anniversary following the Annuitant’s 80th birthday, calculated as described above, proportionately adjusted for partial surrenders, less any loan balance.

This option is only available at issue of the contract and is only available to Annuitants with issue ages of 75 or below.

Under the Enhanced Combination Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Option, we guarantee that the death benefit for the Annuitant's attained age 80 and below will be the greater of:

(1)	the death benefit calculated under the Base Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit; or

(2)

premium paid, accumulated annually at 5% interest until the date of the Annuitant’s death, proportionately adjusted for partial surrenders and deducting any loan balance. We place a maximum on the amount accumulated at 5% interest of two times the premium paid, less surrenders and any loan balance; or

(3)	the highest contract value as of a contract anniversary during any point the contract has been in effect on or before the Annuitant’s death. Any loan balance will be deducted from such contract value and the contract value was also be proportionately adjusted for partial surrenders.

For the Annuitant's attained age 80 and above we guarantee that the death benefit will equal the greater of:

(1) the contract value at the time of death; or

(2)

the value of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit on the contract anniversary following the Annuitant’s 80th birthday, calculated as described above, proportionately adjusted for partial surrenders, less any loan balance.

This option is only available at issue of the contract and is only available to Annuitants with issue ages of 70 or below.

The proportionate adjustment to the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit for partial surrender is equal to a reduction in the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit by an amount equal to the percentage of the partial surrender, including surrender charges, as compared to the contract value immediately prior to the partial surrender.

If you have elected the Annual Ratchet or Enhanced Combination Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Options, you may change the option at any time to the Base Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. The effective date of change will be the monthly anniversary day on or following the date we receive written notice of the change.

If required by the state in which this contract is delivered, we will pay interest on single sum death proceeds from the date of the Annuitant's death until the date of payment. Interest will be at an annual rate determined by us, but never less than the rate required by the state in which this contract is delivered.

3.4 Surrender Proceeds

We will pay proceeds of a full surrender as either a lump sum or under a payment option as described in Section 10, Payment of Proceeds. Unless you specify otherwise, we will pay full surrender proceeds as a lump sum. Surrender proceeds will be equal to:

(1)	the cash surrender value as described in Section 5.6 if you choose a lump sum or payment options 1, 2 or 3: or

(2)	the contract value as described in Section 5.1 if you choose payment options 4 or 5.

The amount of proceeds payable under the Partial Surrender Provision is defined in Section 5.7. We will only pay out partial surrender proceeds as a lump sum or under the Systematic Partial Surrender Plan described in Section 5.8.

3.5 Nursing Home Benefit Proceeds

If we receive satisfactory proof that the Owner is admitted to a licensed nursing home, up to the full contract value may be paid out equally over at least a three year period with no surrender charges. The Owner must be confined to a licensed nursing home for at least 90 days before the surrender charges will be waived.

J188

3.6 Proceeds Applied Under Payment Options

If you elect to receive proceeds under a payment option as described in Section 10, we may require proof that the Annuitant is living.

If you choose to receive a life income (payment options 4 or 5), this life income will be purchased using the applicable monthly life income factor shown in Section 10. If the pay out rates in use by us at the time proceeds become payable are more favorable than those shown in Section 10, we will provide a life income using the more favorable rates.

Once a monthly life income (payment options 4 or 5 as described in Section 10) becomes payable, you may not make any election regarding payment of the proceeds other than the right to change the beneficiary or contingent payee.

Section 4: Premium

4.1 Premium

Your premium is payable at the Home Office or to a registered representative authorized to receive premium. A receipt signed by us will be furnished on request.

Section 5: Contract Values

5.1 Contract Value

On the contract date the contract value equals:

(1)

premium paid; less

(2)

the annual administration fee shown in Section 1, Contract Data.

On any day after the contract date the contract value is equal to the fixed account value plus the variable account value. We will deduct the annual administration fee shown in Section 1, Contract Data (if applicable), from the contract value at the beginning of each contract year.

5.2 Fixed Account Value

On the contract date the fixed account value equals:

(1)

the portion of the premium allocated to the fixed account; less

(2)

the portion of the annual administration fee allocated to the fixed account.

On each valuation day the fixed account value will be equal to:

A + B - C - D - E

"A" is the fixed account value on the preceding valuation date plus interest from the preceding valuation day to the date of calculation.

“B” is the amount of any transfers from the subaccounts to the fixed account, plus interest on such transferred amounts from the effective dates of such transfers to the date of calculation.

“C” is the amount of any transfers from the fixed account to the subaccounts since the preceding valuation day, plus interest on such transferred amount from the effective dates of such transfers to the date of calculation.

“D” is the amount of any partial surrenders and any applicable surrender charge from the fixed account since the preceding valuation period, plus interest on these surrendered amounts from the effective date of the partial surrenders to the date of calculation.

“E” is the portion of the annual administration fee shown in Section 1, Contract Data.

5.3 Guaranteed Interest Rate for the Fixed Account

The guaranteed interest rate for the fixed account, shown in Section 1, Contract Data, is in effect from the contract date to the first redetermination date, shown in Section 1, Contract Data. On each redetermination date, a redetermined guaranteed interest rate for the fixed account will take effect. The redetermined guaranteed interest rate for the fixed account is based on the 5-year Constant Treasury Maturity monthly average rate for November of the previous calendar year published by the Federal Reserve, known hereafter in this provision as the Treasury Rate. The redetermined guaranteed interest rate for the fixed account will be calculated as the Treasury Rate rounded to the nearest five-hundredths of one percent (0.05%) reduced by 1.25%, and will be at least 1% and not more than 3%.

We will notify you when your guaranteed interest rate for the fixed account is redetermined.

5.4 Interest Rate for Fixed Account Value

The value in the fixed account is guaranteed to accumulate at a minimum effective annual interest rate no less than the guaranteed interest rate for the fixed account. We may credit a rate in excess of the guaranteed interest rate for the fixed account while the contract is in force and before the maturity proceeds have been paid.

We may change the interest rate credited to new deposits at any time. We will not change the interest rate credited to funds in the fixed account more often than once each year.

5.5 Variable Account Value

The variable account value is the sum of the values of the subaccounts under this contract.

On the contract date the value of each subaccount equals:

(1)

the portion of the premium allocated to the subaccount; less

(2)

the portion of the annual administration fee, mortality and expense risk charges and asset-based administration charge allocated to the subaccounts.

J188

5.6 Cash Surrender

You may surrender this contract for its cash surrender value at any time before the earliest of:

(1)	your death;

(2)	the Annuitant's death; or

(3)	the maturity date.

When you surrender the contract you will receive 10% of the contract value without a surrender charge, provided you have not exercised the partial surrender provision or have not participated in the systematic partial surrender plan during the current contract year.

The cash surrender value of this contract is:

(1)

the contract value at the time of surrender; less

(2)

any applicable surrender charge (shown in Section 1, Contract Data); less

(3) any loan balance; less

(4) any premium taxes payable.

To surrender the contract you must submit a written request to us. We have the right to require that the contract be returned to us as well. We will determine the cash surrender value on the date we receive these requirements.

We will pay the cash surrender value in a lump sum unless you request payment under a payment option.

Certain federal income tax consequences may apply to a cash surrender of the contract. You should consult your tax adviser before requesting a surrender.

5.7 Partial Surrender

You may make a partial surrender at any time before the earliest of:

(1)	the death of the Annuitant;

(2)	the death of the Owner; or

(3)	the maturity date.

You may make a partial surrender of up to 10% of the contract value each contract year without incurring a surrender charge. Any surrender in excess of 10% during a contract year will be subject to the surrender charge.

We will surrender the amount requested from the contract value on the day we receive written notice for the surrender. We will deduct any applicable surrender charge from the remaining contract value. If the remaining contract value is less than the surrender charge, we will reduce the amount surrendered. You may specify the specific amount to be surrendered from certain subaccounts or the fixed account.

The minimum distribution requested must be for at least $100. We will pay partial surrender proceeds in a lump sum.

We will pay you the amount requested and cancel units equal to the amount surrendered from the subaccounts and/or the fixed account according to your instructions. In the event that the amount to be surrendered exceeds the subaccount(s) value and/or the fixed account value, we will process the surrender for the amount available and contact you for further instructions.

We limit the option to elect a 10% free partial surrender to one per contract year, even if the amount surrendered during that year is less than 10% of the contract value. If you are participating in the systematic partial surrender plan, that is considered the one free partial surrender for the contract year.

Certain federal income tax consequences may apply to partial surrenders from the contract. You should consult your tax adviser before requesting any partial surrenders.

5.8 Systematic Partial Surrender

The systematic partial surrender plan enables you to pre-authorize a periodic exercise of the partial surrender right. If you enter into this plan, you may instruct us to surrender a requested dollar amount from the contract on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

The minimum distribution requested must be for at least $100. The maximum amount which can be surrendered under the plan without a surrender charge is 10% of the contract value as of the time the systematic plan is elected. In subsequent years the amount which can be surrendered under the plan without a surrender charge is 10% of the contract value at the beginning of each contract year.

We will notify you if the total amount to be surrendered in a subsequent contract year will exceed 10% of the contract value as of the beginning of such contract year. Unless you instruct us to reduce the surrender amount for that year so that it does not exceed the 10% limit, we will continue to process surrenders for the designated amount. Once the amount of the surrender exceeds the 10% limit, we will deduct the applicable surrender charge from the remaining payments made during that contract year.

Any other surrender in a year when the systematic partial surrender plan has been utilized will be subject to the surrender charge.

J188

and/or the fixed account value, we will process the surrender for the amount available and contact you for further instructions.

The option to elect the 10% free systematic partial surrender plan is limited to one per contract year, even if the amount surrendered during that year is less than 10% of the contract value.

Systematic partial surrenders may be discontinued by you at any time upon written request to us at our Home Office.

Certain federal income tax consequences may apply to systematic partial surrenders from the contract. Therefore, you should consult with your tax adviser before requesting any systematic partial surrenders.

5.9 Time Period for Payment

We will normally pay out any partial surrender, cash surrender value or death benefit within seven days of receiving your written request or receipt and filing of due proof of death. However, we have the right to suspend or delay the date of any surrender, partial surrender or death benefit payment from the subaccounts for any period during which:

(1)

the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

(2)

the Securities and Exchange Commission permits by an order the postponement for the protection of contract owners; or

(3)

The Securities and Exchange Commission determines that an emergency exists that would make the disposal of securities held in the variable account or the determination of the value of the variable account’s net assets not reasonably practicable.

For any surrender, partial surrender or transfer from the fixed account, we have the right to postpone making a payment to you up to six months from the date of written notice. If payment is not made within 30 days after receipt of documentation necessary to complete the transaction (or such shorter period required by a particular jurisdiction), we will add interest to the amount paid from the date we receive documentation at 3% (or such higher rate required for a particular state).

Section 6: Other Contract Provisions

6.1 Contract

This contract and application are the entire contract. This contract is issued in consideration of the application and payment of the premium. We will attach a copy of the application when we issue the contract.

We may use statements to contest a claim or the validity of this contract only if they are contained in the application.

6.2 Authority to Change Contract

(1)

make the contract or the variable account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are subject; or

(2)

assure continued qualification of the contract under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or variable annuity contracts; or

(3)

reflect a change in the operation of the variable account; or

(4)

provide additional variable account and/or fixed accumulation options.

We have the right to modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent the contract owner from being considered the owner of the assets of the variable account.

In the event of any such modification, we will issue an appropriate endorsement to the contract, if required.

6.4 Incontestability

After this contract has been in force during the Annuitant's lifetime for two years from the contract date, we cannot contest this contract.

6.5 Age and Sex

This contract is issued at the Annuitant's age shown in Section 1, Contract Data. If the contract date falls on the birthday of the Annuitant, the age will be the age the Annuitant reaches on the contract date.

If the Annuitant's age or sex has been incorrectly stated, the benefits under this contract will be those the proceeds applied would have purchased for the correct age and sex.

If the incorrect statement is not discovered until after payments have begun:

(1)

any overpayment by us will be deducted from the next succeeding payment or payments as they fall due; or

(2)

any underpayment by us will be paid in one sum to the Annuitant.

J188

In either case, interest will be payable at the rate of 3% per year compounded annually.

(3)

the requested maturity date cannot exceed the later of the contract anniversary following the Annuitant’s 85th birthday, or the tenth anniversary of the contract; and

(4)

the requested maturity date must be no later than any earlier maturity date required by law.

We may require that the contract be submitted for endorsement to show the change.

If you elect a new maturity date, the monthly life income factor will be as shown in Table B of Section 10, Payment of Proceeds.

6.7 Contract Termination

We have the right to terminate this contract and pay the cash surrender value if all of the following occur simultaneously:

(1)	the contract value is less than $2,000; and

(2)	premium paid, less any partial surrenders, is less than $2,000.

We will mail notice to you of our intention to terminate the contract at least six months in advance. We have the right to terminate on the date specified in the notice unless the contract value has increased to the amount specified above.

6.8 Contract Loans

If your contract has been purchased as a tax sheltered annuity as described in Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, that is not part of a plan that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, you will have the option of taking a contract loan at any time after the first contract year. If your contract has been purchased in this tax sheltered market, an endorsement attached to this contract will detail the loan requirements.

6.9 Nonparticipating

This contract will not participate in any of our profits, losses or surplus earnings.

6.10 Annual Report

At least annually we will send you a report showing the following:

(1) the contract value;

(2) the cash surrender value; and

(3)

any other information required by law or regulation.

Upon receiving your written notice, we will send you a report at any other time during the year for a reasonable charge as determined by us.

6.11 Basis of Computation

Our calculation of guaranteed fixed account values is based on the guaranteed interest rate for the fixed account described in Section 5.3, Guaranteed Interest Rate for the Fixed Account. The reserves and guaranteed fixed account values will never be less than the minimum required by law of the state in which this contract is delivered.

Section 7: Control of Contract

7.1 Ownership

The Annuitant is the owner unless otherwise provided in the application. As owner, you may exercise every right provided by your contract. These rights and privileges end at the Annuitant’s death.

The consent of the beneficiary is required to exercise these rights if you have not reserved the right to change the beneficiary.

7.2 Change of Ownership

You may change the ownership of this contract by giving written notice to us. The change will be effective on the date your written notice was signed but will have no effect on any payment made or other action taken by us before we receive it. We may require that the contract be submitted for endorsement to show the change.

Certain federal income tax consequences may apply to a change of ownership on non-qualified contracts. You should consult with your tax adviser before requesting any change of ownership on a non-qualified contract.

7.3 Assignment

An assignment is a transfer of some or all of your rights under this contract. No assignment will be binding on us unless made in writing and filed at our Home Office. We assume no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment.

Certain federal income tax consequences may apply to an assignment. You should consult with your tax adviser before requesting any assignment.

7.4 Beneficiary

The beneficiary is shown on the application or in the last beneficiary designation filed with us. Death proceeds will be paid to the beneficiary except as provided in this Section.

J188

If any beneficiary dies before the Annuitant, that beneficiary's interest will pass to any other beneficiaries according to their respective interest.

If all beneficiaries die before the Annuitant, we will pay the death proceeds to you, if living, otherwise to your estate or legal successors.

Unless you have waived the right to do so, you may change the beneficiary by filing a written notice in a form satisfactory to us. In order to be effective, the written notice for change of beneficiary must be signed while your contract is in force and the Annuitant is living. The change will be effective on the date your written notice was signed but will have no effect on any payment made or other action taken by us before we receive it.

The interest of any beneficiary will be subject to:

(1)

any assignment of this contract which is binding on us; and

(2)

any optional settlement agreement in effect at the Annuitant’s death.

7.5 Simultaneous Death of Beneficiary and Annuitant

We will pay death proceeds as though the beneficiary died before the Annuitant if:

(1)

the beneficiary dies at the same time as or within 15 days of the Annuitant’s death; and

(2)	we have not paid the proceeds to the beneficiary within this 15-day period.

Section 8: Variable Account

8.1 General Description

The name of the variable account is the Kansas City Life Variable Annuity Separate Account. The income, gains and losses (whether or not realized) from assets allocated to the variable account are credited or charged against the variable account without regard to our other income, gains or losses. The portion of the assets of the variable account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the variable account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may contract.

The assets of the variable account are segregated by investment options, thus establishing a series of subaccounts within the variable account.

When permitted by law, we have the right to:

(1) create new variable accounts;

(2) combine variable accounts;

(3)

remove, combine or add subaccounts and make the new subaccounts available to you at our discretion;

(4)

substitute shares of another portfolio of the funds or shares of another investment company for those of the funds;

(5) add new portfolios to the funds;

(6)

de-register the variable account under the Investment Company Act of 1940 if registration is no longer required;

(7)

make any changes required by the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

(8)

operate the variable account as a managed investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any other form permitted by law.

If a change is made, we will send you a revised prospectus and any notice required by law. If required, we would first seek the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and when required, the appropriate state regulatory authorities, before making a change in the investment options.

8.2 Subaccounts

The subaccounts are separate investment accounts. They are named in Section 1, Contract Data. The assets of each subaccount are invested in a corresponding portfolio of a designated mutual fund.

Subaccount values will fluctuate in accordance with the investment experience of the applicable portfolio of the fund held within the subaccount.

The subaccount value is equal to the number of accumulation units credited to the subaccount times the appropriate accumulation unit value.

The number of accumulation units to be purchased or redeemed in a transaction is found by dividing:

(1) the dollar amount of the transaction; by

(2)	the subaccount’s unit value for the valuation period for that transaction. The number of units in any subaccount will be increased at the end of the valuation period by:

(a)	any transfers to the subaccount from another subaccount or from the fixed account during the current valuation period; and

(b)	the amount of any variable account bonus that may be credited on a monthly anniversary.

The number of units in any subaccount will be decreased at the end of the valuation period by:

(1)	any amounts transferred from the subaccount to another subaccount or the fixed account;

(2)	amounts surrendered during the current valuation period; or

J188

(3)	the cost of the monthly guaranteed minimum death benefit expense charge, if any, that is deducted on the monthly anniversary day.

The number of units in any subaccount will also be reduced at the beginning of each contract year by a pro-rata share of the $30 annual administration fee. The annual administration fee will reduce the subaccount units in proportion to each subaccount’s value to the entire contract value.

The value of an accumulation unit for each of the subaccounts was arbitrarily set at $10 when the first investments were bought. The value for any later valuation period is equal to:

A x B

“A” is equal to the subaccount’s accumulation unit value for the end of the immediately preceding valuation day.

“B” is equal to the net investment factor for the most current valuation day.

The net investment factor equals:

X - Z

“X” equals the sum of:

(1)

the net asset value per accumulation unit held in the subaccount at the end of the current valuation day; plus

(2)

the per accumulation unit amount of any dividend, or capital gain distribution on shares held in the subaccount during the current valuation day; less

(3)

the per accumulation unit amount of any capital loss distribution on shares held in the subaccount during the current valuation day; less

(4)

the per accumulation unit amount of any taxes or any amount set aside during the valuation day as a reserve for taxes.

“Y” equals the net asset value per accumulation unit held in the subaccount as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation day.

“Z” equals the charges deducted from the subaccount on each valuation period for the asset-based administration charge and the mortality and expense risk charge.

The value of the subaccount may increase, decrease, or remain the same.

8.3 Allocations

This contract provides investment options for the amount in the contract value. We allocate amounts placed in the contract value to the subaccounts of the variable account and to the fixed account at your direction. The premium allocation percentages are indicated in the application for this contract.

Allocation percentages must be zero or a whole number not greater than 100. The sum of the premium allocation percentages must equal 100.

We have the right to limit the number of subaccount allocations in effect at any one time.

8.4 Deductions Made From Subaccounts

We deduct the mortality and expense risk charge and the asset-based administration charge from each of the subaccounts on each valuation day. These charges are shown in Section 1, Contract Data.

Section 9: Transfers

9.1 Transfer Fees

Six transfers per year may be made from subaccounts and the fixed account free of charge. However, you may make only one transfer from the fixed account each contract year. Any unused free transfers do not carry over to the next contract year. We will charge a $25 transfer fee on any additional transfers during a contract year. For the purpose of assessing a fee, we consider each written request or telephone request to be one transfer. We will deduct the processing fee from the amount being transferred, or from the remaining contract value, according to your instructions.

9.2 Transfers From Subaccounts

After the 10-day right to examine period and prior to the maturity date, you may transfer all or a part of an amount from the value in any subaccount of the variable account to one or more of the subaccounts of the variable account or to the fixed account. The minimum amount that you may transfer is the lesser of:

(1) $250; or

(2)

the total value in that subaccount on that date.

We will treat any transfer that would reduce the amount in a subaccount below $250 as a transfer request for the entire amount in that subaccount.

A transfer fee may apply as described in Section 9.1, Transfer Fees.

An excessive number of transfers, including short-term “market timing” transfers, may adversely affect the performance of the underlying fund in which a subaccount invests. If, in our sole opinion, a pattern of excessive transfers develops, we have the right not to process a transfer request. We also have the right not to process a transfer request when the sale or purchase of shares of a fund is not reasonably practicable due to actions taken or limitations imposed by the fund.

We may suspend or modify this transfer privilege at any time.

J188

9.3 Transfers From The Fixed Account

At your request, you may transfer an amount from the unloaned value in the fixed account to one or more subaccounts of the variable account. We must receive the request in writing or other form acceptable to us. You may make only one transfer from the fixed account each contract year.

The maximum amount you may transfer from the fixed account each contract year will be the greatest of:

(1)	25% of the unloaned fixed account value in the fixed account on the date of transfer (unless the balance after the transfer is less than $250, in which case we will transfer the entire amount); or

(2)	the amount transferred out of the fixed account in the prior contract year; or

(3)	$2,000 (or the unloaned fixed account value, if less).

A transfer fee may apply as described in Section 9.1, Transfer Fees.

Beginning in the 9th contract year, there is no limitation on the amount transferred from the fixed account.

We may suspend or modify this transfer privilege at any time.

Section 10: Payment of Proceeds

10.1 Payment Options

You may apply death benefit, maturity or full surrender proceeds of $2,000 or more to any of the following options:

Option 1. Interest Payments

We will make guaranteed interest payments to the payee annually or monthly as elected. We will pay interest on the proceeds at the guaranteed rate of 1.5% per year and this may be increased by additional interest paid annually. The proceeds and any unpaid interest may be withdrawn in full at any time.

Option 2. Installments of a Specified Amount

We will make annual or monthly payments until the proceeds plus interest are fully paid. We will pay interest on the proceeds at the guaranteed rate of 1.5% per year and this may be increased by additional interest. The present value of any unpaid installments may be withdrawn at any time.

Option 3. Installments For a Specified Period

Payment of the proceeds may be made in equal annual or monthly payments for a specified number of years. We will pay interest on the proceeds at the guaranteed rate of 1.5% per year and this may be increased by additional interest. The present value of any unpaid installments may be withdrawn at any time. The amount of each payment is shown in Table A.

Option 4. Life Income

We will pay an income during the payee's lifetime. A minimum guaranteed payment period may be chosen. We will continue payments under the Installment Refund option until the total income payments paid equal the proceeds applied. The amount of each payment is shown in Table B.

Option 5. Joint and Survivor Income

We will pay an income during the lifetime of two persons and will continue to pay the same income as long as either person is living. The minimum guaranteed payment period will be ten years. The amount of each payment is shown in Table C.

If the payout rates in use by us at the time proceeds become payable are more favorable than those shown in options 4 and 5, we will provide a life income using the more favorable rates.

10.2 Payee

The payee is the person receiving proceeds under a payment option. The payee can be you, the Annuitant or a beneficiary. We will require satisfactory proof of the payee's age under options 4 and 5.

The contingent payee is the person named to receive proceeds if the payee is not alive.

10.3 Minimum Payments

The payment under any payment option must be at least $50. We may make payments less frequently so that each payment is at least $50.

10.4 Choice of Options

You may choose an option by written notice during the Annuitant’s lifetime. If an option for payment of proceeds is not in effect at the Annuitant’s death, the beneficiary may make a choice.

10.5 Availability of Options

We have the right to restrict these options if you designate an executor, administrator, trustee, corporation, partnership or association as the payee.

10.6 Operative Date

The first payment will be payable on the payment mode following the date proceeds become payable.

10.7 Death of Payee

At the death of the payee, any payments remaining will be paid according to the terms of the option chosen for payment of proceeds, unless the contingent payee elects in writing to receive the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments in a single sum.

J188

If a contingent payee has not been named or does not survive the payee, the following amounts will be paid in one sum to the estate of the payee:

(1)

any amount left on deposit under option 1; and

(2)

the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments under options 2 through 5.

If you have not named a contingent payee, or if every contingent payee named by you dies before the payee, you may, by written notice, name a new contingent payee. The new contingent payee will receive any amount that would otherwise have been payable to the payee's estate.

10.8 Claims of Creditors

To the extent permitted by law, proceeds will not be subject to any claims of a payee's creditors.
