this is what we mean:
Accumulation Unit
An accumulation unit is an accounting unit of measure. It is used to calculate
the variable account contract value prior to annuitization.
Annuitant
The person or persons on whose life monthly annuity payments depend. The term
"annuitant" as used in this contract includes joint annuitants and therefore is
replaced in all instances with the term "annuitants." The annuitants are those
persons named in the Contract Data or elected at annuitization. All terms,
conditions, rights and requirements that apply to an "annuitant" under this
contract shall apply jointly and severally to each joint annuitant named. Any
contract provisions based on the age of the annuitant will be based on the age
of the oldest annuitant, except that annuity income plan rates will be based on
the specific annuitant(s)' age(s).
Annuitization
The application of the contract value of this contract to provide annuity
payments.
Annuity Unit
An annuity unit is an accounting unit of measure. It is used to calculate the
value of annuity payments from the variable account on and after annuitization.
Code

in force.

accounts value; and (3) variable account contract value.
Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
A fixed annuity is an annuity with payments which are guaranteed by us as to
dollar amount during the annuity payment period.
One Year Fixed Account
It is an account to which you may allocate purchase payments and contract
values. Amounts you allocate to the one year fixed account earn guaranteed
interest rates that we declare periodically.
Guarantee Period Accounts
These are accounts to which you may allocate purchase payments and contract
values. Guarantee Period Accounts have guaranteed interest rates declared
periodically. Withdrawals or transfers from a Guarantee Period Account prior to
the end of the specified term will receive Market Value Adjustment which could
result in a gain or a loss of principal.
IRA Contract
A contract used in or under a retirement plan or program that is intended to
qualify as an Individual Retirement Annuity under Section 408(b) of the Code.
IRA Required Minimum Distributions
The minimum distributions Code Section 408(b)(3) requires to be distributed from
an IRA, beginning not later than the April 1 following the calendar year you
reach age 70 1/2 (Required Beginning Date).
Market Value Adjustment
A positive or negative adjustment assessed if any portion of a Guarantee Period
Account is withdrawn or transferred prior to the end of its guaranteed period.
Nonqualified Contract
A contract used primarily for retirement purposes that is not intended to
qualify as an IRA contract.
Retirement Date
The date shown under Contract Data on which annuity payments are to begin. This
date may be changed as provided in this contract. You will be notified prior to
the retirement date in order to select an appropriate annuity payment plan.
Valuation Date
A valuation date is each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
Valuation Period
A valuation period is the interval of time commencing at the close of business
on each valuation date and ending at the close of business on the next valuation
date.

Consists of separate subaccounts to which you may allocate purchase payments and
contract values; each invests in shares of one fund. The value of your
investment in each subaccount changes with the performance of the particular
fund.
Variable Annuity
A variable annuity is an annuity with payments which are not predetermined or
guaranteed as to dollar amount and vary in amount with the investment experience
of one or more of the variable subaccounts.

have been provided at the correct birthdate and sex. Any underpayments made by
us will be made up immediately. Any overpayments made by us will be subtracted
from the future payments.

such state. Any paid up annuity, cash withdrawal or death benefits available
under the contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by any
statute of the state in which the contract is delivered.
Reports to Owner
At least once a year we will send you a statement showing the contract value and
the cash withdrawal value of this contract. This statement will be based on any
laws or regulations that apply to contracts of this type.

being alive on a certain date, proof that such condition has been met may be
required by us. Such proof may be required prior to making the payments.
Protection of Proceeds
Payments under this contract are not assignable by any beneficiary prior to the
time they are due. To the extent allowed by law, payments are not subject to the
claims of creditors or to legal process.

withdrawal from a variable subaccount is based on the variable subaccount value.
Voting Rights

contractowners. As contractowner, if you have voting rights we will send a
notice to you telling you the time and place of a shareholder meeting. The
notice will also explain matters to be voted upon and how many votes you get.
Ownership and Beneficiary
Owner Rights
As long as the annuitant is living and unless otherwise provided in this
contract, you may exercise all rights and privileges provided in this contract
or allowed by us.
If this is an IRA contract, you shall be the annuitant, and during your life you
will have the sole and absolute power to receive and enjoy all rights under the
contract. Your entire interest is nonforfeitable. Joint ownership is not
permitted.
Change of Ownership
If this is an IRA contract, your right to change the ownership is restricted.
This contract may not be sold, assigned, transferred, discounted or pledged as
collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or for
any other purpose to any person other than as may be required or permitted under
Section 408 of the Code, or under any other applicable section of the Code. Your
interest in this contract may be transferred to your former spouse, if any,
under a divorce decree or a written instrument incidental to such divorce.
If this is a nonqualified contract, you may change the ownership.
Any change of ownership as provided above must be made by written request on a
form approved by us. The change must be made while the annuitant is living. Once
the change is recorded by us, it will take effect as of the date of your
request, subject to any action taken or payment made by us before the recording.
Beneficiary
Beneficiaries are those you have named in the application or later changed as
provided below, to receive benefits of this contract if you or the annuitant die
while this contract is in force.
Only those beneficiaries who are living when death benefits become payable may
share in the benefits, if any. If no beneficiary is then living, we will pay the
benefits to you, if living, otherwise to your estate.
Change of Beneficiary
You may change the beneficiary anytime while the annuitant is living by
satisfactory written request to us. Once the change is recorded by us, it will
take effect as of the date of your request, subject to any action taken or
payment made by us before the recording.
Assignment
If this is an IRA contract, you may not assign this contract as collateral.
If this is a nonqualified contract, you can assign this contract or any interest
in it while the annuitant is living. Your interest and the interest of any
beneficiary is subject to the interest of the assignee. An assignment is not a
change of ownership and an assignee is not an owner as these terms are used in
this contract. Any amounts payable to the assignee will be paid in a single sum.
A copy of any assignment must be submitted to us at our administrative office.
Any assignment is subject to any action taken or payment made by us before the
assignment was recorded at our administrative office. We are not responsible for
the validity of any assignment.
Payments to Beneficiary
Death Benefits Before Annuitization
A death benefit is payable to the beneficiary upon the earlier death of you or
the annuitant while this contract is in force and prior to annuitization.
We will pay the beneficiary the greatest of the following amounts, less any
purchase payment credits that have not vested;
1. the contract value; or
2. the total payments and purchase payment credits made to the contract minus
adjustments for partial withdrawals; or
Adjustments for Partial Withdrawals
Adjustments for partial withdrawals are calculated for each partial withdrawal
as the product of (a) times (b) where:
(a) is the ratio of the amount of the partial withdrawal (including any
withdrawal charges) to the contract value on the date of (but prior
to) the partial withdrawal; and
(b) is the death benefit on the date of (but prior to) the partial
withdrawal.
Any amounts payable or applied by us as described in the sections below will be
based on the contract values as of the valuation date on or next following the
date on which due proof of death is received at our administrative office. Due
proof of death includes all documents needed to complete the beneficiary's
claim.
Payment of Nonqualified Contract Death Benefit Before Annuitization
The above death benefit will be payable in a lump sum upon the receipt of due
proof of death of you or the annuitant, whichever first occurs. The beneficiary
may elect to receive payment any time within five years after the date of death.
The above death benefit will also be made upon the first to die if ownership is
in a joint tenancy except where spouses are joint owners with right of
survivorship and the surviving joint spouse elects to continue the contract.
In lieu of a lump sum, payments may be made under:
1. an Annuity Payment Plan, provided:
o the beneficiary elects the plan within 60 days after we receive due
proof of death; and
o the plan provides payments over a period which does not exceed the
life or life expectancy of the beneficiary; and
o payments must begin no later than one year after the date of death; or
2. under other distribution options that we may offer and that satisfy
requirements of Code Section72(s)(2) and related regulations, rulings or
promulgations of the Internal Revenue Service or Department of the
Treasury.
For Annuity Payment Plans, the reference to "annuitant" in the Annuity
Provisions shall apply to the beneficiary.
Payment of IRA Contract Death Benefit Before Annuitization
The above death benefit will be payable in a lump sum upon the receipt of due
proof of death. Under tax law, distributions are considered to have begun if
they are made when you reach your IRA required beginning date or if you have
annuitized according to applicable Treasury Regulations.
If distributions from your IRA have begun but you have not annuitized before
your death, your beneficiary must continue using the same method, or a faster
method, than you were using for your required minimum distributions, to receive
the death benefit.
If distributions from your IRA have not begun and you have not annuitized before
your death, your beneficiary may take one or more distributions so that the
entire death benefit is received within five years of the year in which your
death occurs. In lieu of taking payments within five years, payments may be made
under an Annuity Payment Plan, provided:
1. the beneficiary elects the plan within 60 days after we receive due proof
of death; and
2. the plan provides payments over a period which does not exceed the life or
life expectancy of the beneficiary; and
3. payments must begin no later than one year after the year your death
occurs, in the case of a non-spouse beneficiary, or by December 31 of the
year in which you would have turned age 70 1/2, in the case of a spouse
beneficiary.
Payment amounts, durations and life expectancy calculations must comply with
Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and regulations thereunder.
For purposes of the foregoing provisions, life expectancy and joint and last
survivor expectancy shall be determined by use of the expected return multiples
in Table V and VI of Treasury Regulation Section 1.72-9 in accordance with Code
Section 408(b)(3) and the regulations thereunder. Life expectancy will be
initially determined on the basis of your beneficiary's attained age in the year
distributions are required to commence. Unless you (or your spouse) elects
otherwise prior to the time distributions are required to commence, your life
expectancy and, if applicable, your spouse's life expectancy will be
recalculated annually based on your attained ages in the year for which the
required distribution is being determined. The life expectancy of a nonspouse
beneficiary will not be recalculated. Instead, life expectancy will be
calculated using the attained age of such beneficiary during the calendar year
in which the individual attains age 70 1/2 , and payments for subsequent years
shall be calculated based on such life expectancy reduced by one for each
calendar year which has elapsed since the calendar year life expectancy was
first calculated.
You or your beneficiary, as applicable, shall have the sole responsibility for
requesting a distribution that complies with this Contract and applicable law.
For Annuity Payment Plans, the reference to "annuitant" in the Annuity
Provisions shall apply to the beneficiary.
Spouse's Option to Continue Contract
For nonqualified contracts: If you die prior to annuitization and your spouse is
the sole beneficiary or co-owner of the contract, your spouse may keep the
contract in force as owner and may make additional purchase payments to the
contract.
For IRA contracts: If you die prior to your required beginning date and your
spouse is the sole beneficiary, your spouse may keep the contract in force as
his or her own IRA. As owner, your spouse may make additional payments to the
contract. As owner, your spouse's life will determine the IRA required beginning
date and minimum distribution amounts. If you die after your required beginning
date, spousal continuation of this contract is not available.
Election by the spouse to continue the contract must be made by written request
within 60 days after we receive proof of death. Upon such continuation the
contract value shall be equal to the death benefit that would otherwise have
been paid. Withdrawal charges under the continued contract shall only apply to
additional purchase payments.
Death After Annuitization
If you or the annuitant die after annuitization, the amount payable to the
beneficiary, if any, will be as provided in the Annuity Payment Plan then in
effect.
Purchase Payments
Purchase Payments
Purchase payments are the payments you make for this contract and the benefits
it provides. Purchase payments must be paid or mailed to us at our
administrative office or to an authorized agent. If requested, we'll give you a
receipt for your purchase payments.
Additional Purchase Payments
Additional purchase payments may be made until the earlier of:
1. the date this contract terminates by withdrawal or otherwise; or
2. the date on which annuity payments begin.
Additional purchase payments are subject to the "Payment Limits Provision"
below.
Payment Limits Provision
Maximum Purchase Payments -- The maximum total contract purchase payments may
not exceed the amounts shown under Contract Data. We reserve the right to
increase the maximums.
Additional Purchase Payments -- You may make additional purchase payments of at
least the amount shown in the Contract Data.
In addition, if this is an IRA contract, except as otherwise provided in this
paragraph, the total purchase payments for any taxable year may not exceed the
amounts provided in the Code and all related laws and regulations which are in
effect during the term of this contract. In the case of a rollover contribution
described in Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8) or 408(d)(3) of the Code, the
limit on the amount of your purchase payment is as stated under Contract Data.
No contribution will be accepted under a SIMPLE plan established by any employer
pursuant to Code Section 408(p). No transfer or rollover of funds attributable
to contributions made by a particular employer under its SIMPLE plan will be
accepted from a SIMPLE IRA prior to the expiration of the two-year period
beginning on the date the individual first participated in that employer's
SIMPLE plan.
You shall have the sole responsibility for determining whether purchase payments
meet applicable income tax requirements.
All purchase payments must be made in cash. If you die before the entire
interest in this contract has been distributed to you, and your beneficiary is
other than your surviving spouse, no additional purchase payments will be
accepted from your beneficiary under this contract.
Allocation of Purchase Payments
You instruct us on how you want your purchase payments allocated among the One
Year Fixed Account, Guarantee Period Accounts and variable subaccounts. Your
choice for the One Year Fixed Account, each Guarantee Period Account and each
variable subaccount may be made in any whole percent from 0% to 100%. Your
allocation instructions as of the contract date are shown under Contract Data.
We reserve the right to limit the maximum number of accounts and/or subaccounts
to which you can allocate purchase payments or contract value at any time. We
also reserve the right to limit purchase payment allocations to the One Year
Fixed Account during any time period that our credited rate of interest for new
purchase payments is equal to the fixed account minimum interest rate shown
under Contract Data.
If purchase payments are allocated to a Guarantee Period Account, the period you
select will determine the guaranteed interest rate applicable for the Guarantee
Period.
By written request, or by another method agreed to by us, you may change your
choice of accounts or percentages. The first net purchase payment will be
allocated as of the end of the valuation period during which we make an
affirmative decision to issue this contract. Net purchase payments after the
first will be allocated as of the end of the valuation period during which we
receive the payment at our administrative office.
Purchase Payment Credits
If shown under Contract Data, Wwe may apply an additional purchase payment
credit to your contract value for applicable net purchase payments you make to
this contract. The purchase payment credit is a percentage of such net purchase
payment which is the purchase payment less the amount of partial withdrawals
that exceed all prior purchase payments. The percentage depends on the amount of
cumulative purchase payments under the contract less partial withdrawals as
shown under Contract Data.
If an additional purchase payment causes the contract as a whole to be eligible
for a greater percentage credit, an additional credit on prior purchase
payments, less any partial withdrawals, will be allocated on the date of the
additional purchase payment. Such additional credit is calculated to bring the
credit percentage on all prior net purchase payments to the current level.
Purchase payment credits will be allocated to the contract value according to
your then-existing purchase payment allocation instructions.
Any partial withdrawal reduces the cumulative net purchase payments used as the
basis of the credits on a last-in, first-out basis. Purchase payment credits are
vested as indicated under Contract Data.
Contract Value
Contract Value
The contract value at any time is the sum of:
1. the One Year Fixed Account contract value; and
2. the value of the Guarantee Period Accounts; and
3. the variable account contract value.
If:
1. part or all of the contract value is withdrawn; or
2. charges described herein are made against the contract value;
then a number of accumulation units from the variable subaccounts and an amount
from the One Year Fixed Account and Guarantee Period Accounts will be deducted
to equal such amount. For withdrawals, deductions will be made from the One Year
Fixed Account, Guarantee Period Accounts or variable subaccounts that you
specify. Otherwise, the number of units from the variable subaccounts and the
amount from the One Year Fixed Account and Guarantee Period Accounts will be
deducted in the same proportion that your interest in each bears to the total
contract value.
Variable Account Contract Value
The variable account contract value at any time will be:
1. the sum of the value of all variable subaccount accumulation units under
this contract resulting from purchase payments and any purchase payment
credits so allocated, or amounts transfered to the variable subaccounts;
less
2. the value of any units deducted for charges, or withdrawals or transfers
from the variable subaccounts.
Guarantee Period Account Value
The value of a Guarantee Period Account at any time will be the:
1. sum of the purchase payments and any purchase payment credits allocated or
amounts transferred to the Guarantee Period Account, plus interest
credited; less
2. any amounts transferred from the Guarantee Period Account to any variable
subaccount or the One Year Fixed Account; less
3. any amounts deducted for market value adjustments, charges or withdrawals;
plus
4. any amounts added for market value adjustments.
One Year Fixed Account Contract Value
The One Year Fixed Account contract value at any time will be:
1. the sum of all purchase payments and any purchase payment credits allocated
to the One Year Fixed Account, plus interest credited; plus
2. any amounts transferred to the One Year Fixed Account from any variable
subaccount or Guarantee Period Accounts, plus interest credited; less
3. any amounts transferred from the One Year Fixed Account to any variable
subaccount or Guarantee Period Accounts; less
4. any amounts deducted for charges or withdrawals.
Interest to be Credited
We will credit interest to the One Year Fixed Account and Guarantee Period
Account contract values. Interest will begin to accrue daily on the date the
purchase payments which are received in our administrative office become
available for us to use. Such interest will be credited at rates that we
determine from time to time. However, we guarantee that the rate for the One
Year Fixed Account will not be less than the minimum effective annual interest
rate shown under Contract Data.
Contract Administrative Charge
We charge a fee for establishing and maintaining our records for this contract.
The charge per year is shown in the Contract Data and is deducted from the
contract value at the end of each contract year. The charge deducted will be
prorated among the variable subaccounts, the One Year Fixed Account and
Guarantee Period Accounts in the same proportion your interest in each bears to
the total contract value.
We waive the annual contract administrative charge for any contract year where
the contract value immediately prior to the deduction of the charge is equal to
or more than as shown in the Contract Data.
If you make a full withdrawal of this contract, we deduct the full contract
administrative charge at the time of full withdrawal regardless of contract
value.
The charge does not apply at or after annuitization of this contract or at the
time a death benefit is paid.
Premium Tax Charges
We reserve the right to assess a charge against the contract value of this
contract for any applicable premium tax assessed to us by a state or local
government. This charge could be deducted when you make purchase payments, or
make a full withdrawal of the contract value or at the time of annuitization.
Transfers of Contract Values
While this contract is in force prior to annuitization, transfers of contract
values may be made as outlined below.
1. You may transfer all or a part of the values held in one or more of the
variable subaccounts to another one or more of the variable subaccounts.
Subject to Items 2 and 3, you may also transfer values held in one or more
of the variable subaccounts to the One Year Fixed Account or Guarantee
Period Accounts.
2. On or within the 30 days before or after a contract anniversary you may
transfer values from the One Year Fixed Account to one or more of the
variable subaccounts or Guarantee Period Accounts. This amount shall not
exceed the One Year Fixed Account transfer limit shown under Contract Data.
If such a transfer is made, no transfers from any variable subaccount or
Guarantee Period Account to the One Year Fixed Account may be made for six
months after such a transfer.
3. You may transfer values from any Guarantee Period Accounts to one or more
of the variable subaccounts, One Year Fixed Account or Guarantee Period
Accounts anytime after 60 days of the date of the payment allocation or
transfer allocation into such Guarantee Period Account. Any transfer prior
to the end of the applicable guarantee period will be subject to a market
value adjustment.
You may make a transfer by written request. Telephone transfers may also be made
according to telephone procedures that are then currently in effect, if any.
There is no fee or charge for these transfers. However, the minimum transfer
amount is $500. If you request a transfer of $500 or less, we will transfer the
entire value in the subaccount or in the One Year Fixed Account or in the
Guarantee Period Account from which the transfer is being made, or other such
minimum amounts agreed to by us. The minimum amount that may be transferred to a
Guarantee Period Account is shown under Contract Data.
We may suspend or modify transfer privileges at any time. The right to transfer
contract values among the subaccounts and fixed accounts is also subject to
modification if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the exercise of that
right by one or more contract owners is, or would be, to the disadvantage of
other contract owners. Any modification could be applied to transfers to or from
some or all of the subaccounts, Guarantee Period Accounts and One Year Fixed
Account. These modifications could include, but not be limited to, the
requirements of a minimum time period between each transfer, not accepting
transfer requests of an agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more
than one contract owner, not accepting transfers to or from the Guarantee Period
Accounts or limiting the dollar amount that may be transferred between the
subaccounts and the One Year Fixed Account by a contract owner at any one time.
We may apply these modifications or restrictions in any manner reasonably
designed to prevent any use of the transfer right we consider to be to the
disadvantage of other contract owners.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program
You may authorize the transfer of an amount, at the interval selected by you,
from the DCA Fixed Account Option to any variable subaccount. All amounts that
are allocated to a DCA Fixed Account Option will be transferred out in specified
amounts within the specified DCA Fixed Account period from the One Year Fixed
Account. The values credited and applied to your contract are determined on each
date of transfer. You may terminate the DCA Fixed Account Option at any time.
Upon termination any amount remaining in the DCA Fixed Account Option will be
transferred to the One Year Fixed Account. We reserve the right to change the
terms and conditions of the DCA program at any time.
Fixed, Guarantee Period and Variable Accounts
The Fixed Account
The fixed account is the One Year Fixed Account.
It is made up of all our assets other than those in:
1. The Variable Account; and
2. Any other segregated asset accounts, including the Guarantee Period
Accounts.
We back the principal and interest guarantees relating to the One Year Fixed
Account. Purchase payments and transfers to the One Year Fixed Account become
part of our general account.
Guarantee Period Accounts
The Guarantee Period Accounts are part of a "nonunitized" segregated asset
account (Separate Account). We have established the separate account for the
purpose of facilitating accounting and investment processes we undertake in
offering guaranteed interest for periods you can select from those that are
available. This separate account may not be charged with liabilities from any
other separate account or our general account. We back the principal and
interest guarantees relating to the Guarantee Period Accounts. The minimum
investment in any Guarantee Period Account is as indicated on your Contract
Data.
The Variable Account
The variable account is a separate investment account of ours. It consists of
several subaccounts which are named under Contract Data. We have allocated a
part of our assets for this and certain other contracts to the variable account.
Such assets remain our property. However, they may not be charged with the
liabilities from any other business in which we may take part.
Investments of the Variable Account
Purchase payments applied to the variable account will be allocated as specified
by the owner. Each variable subaccount will buy, at net asset value, shares of
the fund shown for that subaccount under Contract Data or as later added or
changed.
We may change the funds the variable subaccounts buy shares from if laws or
regulations change, the existing funds become unavailable or, in the judgment of
American Enterprise Life, the funds are no longer suitable for the subaccounts.
We have the right to substitute any funds for those shown under Contract Data.
We may also:
o add new subaccounts,
o combine any two or more subaccounts,
o make additional subaccounts investing in additional funds,
o transfer assets to and from the subaccounts or the variable account, and
o eliminate or close any subaccounts.
We would first seek approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission if
necessary, and, where required, the insurance regulator of the state where this
contract is delivered.
Valuation of Assets
Fund shares in the variable subaccounts will be valued at their net asset value.
Variable Account Accumulation Units
The number of accumulation units for each of the variable subaccounts is found
by adding the number of accumulation units resulting from:
1. purchase payments and any purchase payment credits allocated to the
subaccount; and
2. transfers to the subaccount;
and subtracting the number of accumulation units resulting from:
1. transfers from the subaccount; and
2. withdrawals (including withdrawal and other charges) from the subaccount;
and
3. contract administrative charge or any rider charge deductions from the
subaccount.
The number of accumulation units added or subtracted for each of the above
transactions is found by dividing (1) by (2) where:
1. is the amount allocated to or deducted from the subaccount; and
2. is the accumulation unit value for the subaccount for the respective
valuation period during which we received the purchase payment or transfer
value, or during which we deducted transfers, withdrawals, withdrawal or
other charges or contract administrative charges.
Variable Account Accumulation Unit Value
The value of an accumulation unit for each of the variable subaccounts was set
at $1 when the first fund shares were bought. The value for any later valuation
period is found as follows:
The accumulation unit value for each variable subaccount for the last prior
valuation period is multiplied by the net investment factor for the same
subaccount for the next following valuation period. The result is the
accumulation unit value. The value of an accumulation unit may increase or
decrease from one valuation period to the next.
Net Investment Factor
The net investment factor is an index applied to measure the investment
performance of a variable subaccount from one valuation period to the next. The
net investment factor may be greater or less than one; therefore, the value of
an accumulation or annuity unit may increase or decrease.
The net investment factor for any such subaccount for any valuation period is
determined by: dividing (1) by (2) and subtracting (3) and (4) from the result.
This is done where:
1. is the sum of:
a. the net asset value per share of the fund held in the variable
subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus
b. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution made
by the fund held in the variable subaccount, if the "ex-dividend" date
occurs during the current valuation period; and
2. is the net asset value per share of the fund held in the variable
subaccount, determined at the end of the last prior valuation period; and
3. is a factor representing the mortality and expense risk charge; and
4. is a factor representing the variable account administrative charge.
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
In calculating unit values we will deduct a mortality and expense risk charge
from the variable subaccounts. This deduction is made to compensate us for
assuming the mortality and expense risks under contracts of this type. We
estimate that approximately 2/3 of this charge is for assumption of mortality
risk and 1/3 is for assumption of expense risk. The deduction will be:
1. made from each variable subaccount; and
2. computed on a daily basis.
Variable Account Administrative Charge
In calculating unit values, we will deduct a variable account administrative
charge from the variable subaccounts. This deduction is made to compensate us
for certain administrative and operating expenses for contracts of this type.
The deduction will be:
1. made from each variable subaccount; and
2. computed on a daily basis.
Annuity Unit Value
The value of an annuity unit for each variable subaccount was arbitrarily set at
$1 when the first fund shares were bought. The value for any later valuation
period is found as follows:
1. the annuity unit value for each variable subaccount for the last prior
valuation period is multiplied by the net investment factor for the
subaccount for the valuation period for which the annuity unit value is
being calculated.
2. the result is multiplied by an interest factor. This is done to neutralize
the assumed investment rate which is built into the annuity tables on Page
18.
Withdrawal Provisions
Withdrawal
By written request and subject to the rules below you may:
1. withdraw this contract for the total withdrawal value; or
2. partially withdraw this contract for a part of the withdrawal value.
Rules for Withdrawal
All withdrawals will have the following conditions.
1. You must apply by written request or other method agreed to by us:
a. while this contract is in force; and
b. prior to the earlier of beginning an annuity payment plan or the death
of the annuitant or owner.
2. You must withdraw an amount equal to at least $500. Each variable
subaccount value, Guarantee Period Account value and the One Year Fixed
Account value after a partial withdrawal must be either $0 or at least $50.
3. The amount withdrawn, less any charges, will normally be mailed to you
within seven days of the receipt of your written request and this contract,
if required.
For withdrawals from the One Year Fixed Account, we have the right to defer
payment to you for up to six months from the date we receive your request.
4. For partial withdrawals, if you do not specify from which account the
withdrawal is to be made, the withdrawal will be made from the variable
subaccounts, Guarantee Period Accounts, and the One Year Fixed Account in
the same proportion as your interest in each bears to the contract value.
5. Any amounts withdrawn and charges which may apply cannot be repaid.
Upon withdrawal for the full withdrawal value this contract will terminate. We
may require that you return the contract to us before we pay the full withdrawal
value.
Withdrawal Value
The withdrawal value at any time will be:
1. the contract value;
2. plus or minus any applicable market value adjustment;
3. minus the full contract administrative charge;
4. minus any withdrawal charge;
5. minus any purchase payment credits that have not vested as indicated under
Contract Data.
Withdrawal Charge
If you withdraw all or a part of your contract, you may be subject to a
withdrawal charge. A withdrawal charge applies if all or a part of the contract
value you withdraw is from payments received that are still in the withdrawal
charge period indicated under Contract Data. Refer to Waiver of Withdrawal
Charges for situations when withdrawal charges are not deducted.
For full withdrawals, we determine your withdrawal charge by multiplying each of
your purchase payments not previously withdrawn and not subject to a waiver of
withdrawal charge by the applicable withdrawal charge percentage, and then
totaling the charges.
For partial withdrawals, the withdrawal charge is prorated based on the
percentage of your contract value being withdrawn. For example, if you withdraw
half of your contract value, approximately half of the withdrawal charge
applicable for a full withdrawal would be charged. (However, any waivers of
withdrawal charge will not be prorated, so the withdrawal charge in the above
example would be reduced further to account for applicable waivers.)
For partial withdrawals, we determine the amount that represents purchase
payments which could be subject to a withdrawal charge by the following formula:
PS - FA X (PP - PE)
-------
CV - FA
PS = Amount of partial withdrawal
FA = Free amount (amounts that are subject to a waiver of withdrawal
charge)
CV = Contract value prior to the withdrawal
PP = Purchase payments not previously withdrawn
PE = Amounts withdrawn totaling up to 10% of the prior contract
anniversary value to the extent it is larger than amounts withdrawn
that represent contract earnings (See item 1 under Waiver of
Withdrawal Charges.)
After calculating the amount of purchase payments that might be subject to a
withdrawal charge, we use the Withdrawal Order described below to determine the
withdrawal charge
For a partial withdrawal that is subject to a withdrawal charge, the amount we
actually withdraw from your contract value will be the amount you request plus
any applicable withdrawal charge. The withdrawal charge is applied to this total
amount. We pay you the amount you requested.
The withdrawal charge applies regardless of the contract value at time of
withdrawal. Therefore, the purchase payment amount applied to the withdrawal
charge percentage may be greater or less than the contract value.
Market Value Adjustment
With respect to the Guarantee Period Accounts, any amount withdrawn, transferred
or annuitized prior to the end of that guarantee period may be subject to a
Market Value Adjustment. The Market Value Adjustment will be calculated by
multiplying the amount withdrawn, transferred or annuitized by the formula
described below:
Amount x ( ( (1 + i) / (1 + j + 0.001) ) n/12 - 1 )
Where: i = rate earned in the account from which funds are being transferred
or withdrawn
j = current rate for a new Guarantee Period equal to the remaining
term (rounded up) in the current Guarantee Period
n = number of months remaining in the current Guarantee Period
(rounded up)
There will be no Market Value Adjustment on withdrawals from Guarantee Period
Accounts in the following situations: (1) Death Benefit; (2) amounts withdrawn
to pay fees or charges; and (3) amounts withdrawn from the Guarantee Period
Accounts within 30 days before the end of the Guarantee Period.
Waiver of Withdrawal Charges
Withdrawal charges are waived for all of the following.
1. In each contract year, the greater of:
a. Withdrawals during the year totaling up to 10% of your prior contract
anniversary contract value, or
b. Contract earnings. ("Contract earnings" is defined as the contract
value less purchase payments not previously withdrawn.)
2. Withdrawals made if both you and the annuitant were under age 76 on the
contract date, and you provide proof satisfactory to us that, as of the
date you request the withdrawal, you or the annuitant are confined to a
hospital or nursing home, and have been for the prior 60 days.
To qualify, the nursing home must:
a. be licensed by an appropriate licensing agency to provide nursing
services; and
b. provide 24-hour-a-day nursing services; and
c. have a doctor available for emergency situations; and
d. have a nurse on duty or call at all times; and
e. maintain clinical records; and
f. have appropriate methods for administering drugs.
3. Withdrawal charges are waived if you or the annuitant are diagnosed in the
second or later contract years as disabled with a medical condition that
with reasonable medical certainty will result in death within 12 months or
less from the date of the licensed physician's statement. You must provide
us with a licensed physician's statement containing the terminal illness
diagnosis and the date the terminal illness was initially diagnosed.
4. IRA required minimum distributions, for those amounts required to be
distributed from this contract only.
5. Annuity payment plan payments.
6. Payments made in the event of the death of the owner or annuitant.
Withdrawal Order
We use this order to determine withdrawal charges.
1. First, withdrawals up to 10% of your prior contract anniversary contract
value not previously withdrawn during this contract year. (No withdrawal
charge.)
2. Next, withdrawals are from amounts representing contract earnings - if any
- in excess of the annual 10% free withdrawal amount. (No withdrawal
charge.)
3. Next, withdrawals are from purchase payments not previously withdrawn and
which had been paid more than the number of years in the withdrawal charge
period shown in the Contract Data prior to withdrawal. (No withdrawal
charge.)
4. Last, withdrawals are from purchase payments received that are still within
the withdrawal charge period shown in the schedule under Contract Data. We
withdraw these payments on a "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis. There is a
withdrawal charge on these payments.
Suspension or Delay in Payment of Withdrawal
We have the right to suspend or delay the date of any withdrawal payment from
the variable subaccounts for any period:
1. when the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or
2. when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; or
3. when an emergency exists as a result of which:
a. disposal of securities held in the variable subaccounts is not
reasonably practical; or
b. it is not reasonably practical to fairly determine the value of the
net assets of the variable subaccounts; or
4. during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by
order, so permits for the protection of security holders.
Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission will govern as
to whether the conditions set forth in 2 and 3 exist.
Annuity Provisions
Annuitization
When annuitization occurs, the contract value, less any applicable Market Value
Adjustment will be applied to make annuity payments. The first payment will be
made as of the retirement date. This date is shown under Contract Data. Before
payments begin we will require satisfactory proof that the annuitant is alive.
We may also require that you exchange this contract for a supplemental contract
which provides the annuity payments.
Change of Retirement Date
You may change the retirement date shown for this contract. Tell us the new date
by written request. If you select a new date, it must be at least 30 days after
we receive your written request at our administrative office.
The maximum retirement date on an IRA contract is the later of:
1. the April 1 following the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age
70 1/2; or
2. such other date which satisfies the minimum distribution requirements under
the Code, its regulations, and/or promulgations by the Internal Revenue
Service; or
3. such other date as agreed upon by us.
Notwithstanding the above, and for all nonqualified contracts, the maximum
retirement date is the later of:
1. the annuitant's 85th birthday; or
2. the 10th contract anniversary.
Pre-election of an Annuity Income Plan
If this is a nonqualified contract, you may elect how the death benefit is to be
paid under the contract in the event of death before annuitization. You must
make any such election on a form satisfactory to us. We must receive the form in
our administrative office prior to the date of death. The death benefit will
then be payable as elected by you, rather than as requested by the beneficiary.
If for any reason such election does not satisfy Section 72 of the Code or
related distribution requirements, the election will be void. The beneficiary
will then be permitted to elect payment as otherwise allowed by this contract.
Annuity Payment Plans
Annuity payments may be made on a fixed dollar basis, a variable basis or a
combination of both. You can schedule receipt of annuity payments according to
one of the Plans A through E below or another plan agreed to by us.
If this is an IRA, payment amounts, durations and life expectancy calculations
must comply with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder
and generally must:
1. provide for payments over your life or over your and your beneficiary's
lives; or
2. provide for payments over a period which does not exceed your life
expectancy and/or the life expectancy of you and your beneficiary; and
3. meet the minimum incidental death benefit requirements under the Code and
all related laws and regulations which are then in effect.
The rules described in the "Payment of IRA Contract Death Benefit Before
Annuitization" section for determining life expectancy will apply in determining
the amount of these distributions, except that the life expectancy of you and
your beneficiary will be initially determined on the basis of your attained ages
in the year you reach 70 1/2. IRA annuity payments must be nonincreasing, or may
increase only for a variable life annuity as provided in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A F-3.
An appropriate annuity payment plan is intended to satisfy the following
requirements that otherwise apply: the annual distribution required to be made
by your IRA required beginning date is for the calendar year in which you
reached age 70 1/2; annual payments for subsequent years, including the year in
which your IRA required beginning date occurs, must be made by December 31 of
that year.
You shall have the sole responsibility for electing an annuity payment plan that
complies with this Contract and applicable law.
Plan A -- This provides monthly annuity payments during the lifetime of the
annuitant. No payments will be made after the annuitant dies.
Plan B -- This provides monthly annuity payments during the lifetime of the
annuitant with a guarantee by us that payments will be made for a period of at
least five, 10 or 15 years. You must select the guaranteed period.
Plan C --This provides monthly annuity payments during the lifetime of the
annuitant with a guarantee by us that payments will be made for a certain number
of months. We determine the number of months by dividing the amount applied
under this plan by the amount of the first monthly annuity payment.
Plan D -- Monthly annuity payments will be paid during the lifetime of the
annuitant and joint annuitant. When either the annuitant or the joint annuitant
dies we will continue to make monthly payments during the lifetime of the
survivor. No payments will be made after the death of both the annuitant and
joint annuitant.
Plan E -- This provides monthly annuity payments for a period of years. The
period of years may be no less than 10 nor more than 30.
You may select the plan by written request to us at least 30 days before the
retirement date. If at least 30 days before the retirement date we have not
received at our administrative office your written request to select a plan, we
will make payments according to Plan B with payments guaranteed for 10 years.
If the amount to be applied to a plan would not provide a monthly payment of at
least $20, we have the right to change the frequency of the payment or to make a
lump sum payment of the contract value.
Allocation of Contract Values at Annuitization
At the time of annuitization under an Annuity Payment Plan, you may reallocate
your contract value to the One Year Fixed Account to provide fixed dollar
payments and/or among the variable subaccounts, to provide variable annuity
payments. We reserve the right to limit the number of variable subaccounts used
at any one time during annuitization. The Guarantee Period Accounts are not
available after annuitization.
Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
A fixed annuity is an annuity with payments that are guaranteed by us as to
dollar amount. Fixed annuity payments remain the same. At annuitization the
fixed account contract value will be applied to the applicable Annuity Table.
This will be done in accordance with the payment plan chosen. The minimum amount
payable for each $1,000 so applied is shown in Table B on Page 18.
Variable Annuity
A variable annuity is an annuity with payments which:
1. are not predetermined or guaranteed as to dollar amount; and
2. vary in amount with the investment experience of the variable subaccounts.
Determination of the First Variable Annuity Payment
At annuitization, the variable account contract value will be applied to the
applicable Annuity Table. This will be done:
1. on the valuation date on or next preceding the seventh calendar day before
the retirement date; and
2. in accordance with the payment plan chosen. The amount payable for the
first payment for each $1,000 so applied is shown in Table A on Page 18.
Variable Annuity Payments After the First Payment
Variable annuity payments after the first payment vary in amount. The amount
changes with the investment performance of the variable subaccounts. The dollar
amount of variable annuity payments after the first is not fixed. It may change
from month to month. The dollar amount of such payments is determined as
follows.
1. The dollar amount of the first annuity payment is divided by the value of
an annuity unit as of the valuation date on or next preceding the seventh
calendar day before the retirement date. This result establishes the number
of annuity units for each monthly annuity payment after the first payment.
This number of annuity units remains fixed during the annuity payment
period.
2. The fixed number of annuity units is multiplied by the annuity unit value
as of the valuation date on or next preceding the seventh calendar day
before the date the payment is due. The result establishes the dollar
amount of the payment.
We guarantee that the dollar amount of each payment after the first will not be
affected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.
Exchange of Annuity Units
After annuity payments begin, annuity units of any variable subaccount may be
exchanged for units of any of the other variable subaccounts. This may be done
no more than once a year. We reserve the right to limit the number of variable
subaccounts used at any one time. Once annuity payments start no exchanges may
be made to or from any fixed annuity.
Tables of Annuity Rates
Table A below shows the amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment,
based on a 5% assumed investment return, for each $1,000 of value applied under
any payment plan. The amount of the first and all subsequent monthly fixed
dollar annuity payments for each $1,000 of value applied under any payment plan
will be based on our fixed dollar Table of Annuity Rates in effect at
annuitization. Such rates are guaranteed to be not less than those shown in
Table B. The amount of such annuity payments under Plans A, B and C will depend
upon the sex and age of the annuitant at annuitization. The amount of such
annuity payments under Plan D will depend upon the sex and the age of the
annuitant and the joint annuitant at annuitization.
