Commission and under such requirements as it may impose.

ACCUMULATION PROVISIONS
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE
The Separate Account Accumulation Value under the Certificate shall be the sum
of the values of the Accumulation Units held in the Subaccounts for the
Participant.
NUMBER OF ACCUMULATION UNITS
For each Subaccount, the number of Accumulation Units is the sum of each
Purchase Payment and transfer amount allocated to the Subaccount, reduced by
premium taxes, if any:
Divided by
The Accumulation Unit value for that Subaccount for the NYSE business day in
which the Purchase Payment or transfer amount is received.
The number of Accumulation Units will be similarly adjusted for withdrawals,
annuitizations, transfers and charges. Adjustments 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 Subaccount for any NYSE business day is calculated by subtracting
(2) from (1) and dividing the result by (3) where:
(1) is the total value for the given NYSE business day of the assets
attributable to the Accumulation Units of the Subaccount minus the total
liabilities;
(2) is the cumulative unpaid charge for assumption of Expense Risk,
Distribution Expense, Mortality Risk and Guaranteed Death Benefit Risk
charges (See CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS);
(3) is the number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of the given
NYSE business day.
FIXED ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE
Under the Certificate, the Fixed Account Accumulation Value shall be the sum of
all monies allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account Option(s), reduced by
any applicable premium taxes, plus all interest credited on the Fixed Account
Option(s) during the period that the Certificate has been in effect. This amount
shall be adjusted for withdrawals, annuitizations, transfers, Certificate
Administration Charge and any applicable Withdrawal Charge. The Fixed Account
Accumulation Value shall not be less than the minimum values required by law in
the state where this Certificate is issued.
FIXED ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PERIOD OPTIONS AND INTEREST CREDITING
9
10
Any amounts allocated to the Fixed Account Options from the first Purchase
Payment will earn interest at the Initial Interest Rate for the Fixed Account
Option(s) selected for the duration of the Guarantee Period.
Subsequent Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account Options will earn
interest at the Current Interest Rate for the Fixed Account Option(s) selected
for the duration of the Guarantee Period.
Transfers to the Fixed Account Options from the Subaccounts and amounts renewed
into the Fixed Account Options will earn interest at the Renewal Interest Rate
for the Fixed Account Option(s) selected for the duration of the Guarantee
Period.
For thirty (30) days following the date of expiration of a Guarantee Period, You
may renew for the same or any other Guarantee Period at the Renewal Interest
Rate or You may transfer all or a portion of the amount to the Subaccounts. If
You do not specify a Guarantee Period at the time of renewal, We will select the
same Guarantee Period as has just expired, crediting Your Certificate with the
Renewal Interest Rate in effect on the date of expiration of the Guarantee
Period, so long as such Guarantee Period does not extend beyond the Annuity
Date. If a renewal occurs within one year of the latest Annuity Date, We will
credit interest up to the Annuity Date at the Renewal Interest Rate for the
1-Year Fixed Account Option.
If you are participating in the DCA program, Purchase Payments may be allocated
to the 1-Year DCA Fixed Account Option or the 1-Year Fixed Account Option. Upon
termination of the DCA program, any amounts remaining in the 1-Year DCA Fixed
Account Option will be automatically transferred to the 1-Year Fixed Account
Option. Such amounts will earn interest at the Renewal Interest Rate for the
1-Year Fixed Account Option.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA)
Any payments and values based on the 3, 5, 7 or 10-year Fixed Account Options
may be subject to an MVA, the operation of which may result in upward or
downward adjustments in the Certificate Value, if withdrawn, transferred or
annuitized prior to the end of the respective Guarantee Period. The MVA will be
calculated by multiplying the amount withdrawn, transferred or annuitized by the
following formula:
N/12
{(1 + I)/(1+J+0.0050)} -1
I = The interest rate currently in effect for that Guarantee Period.
J = The Initial Interest Rate available for the Guarantee Period equal to the
number of years (rounded up to an integer) remaining in the current Guarantee
Period at the time of withdrawal, transfer or annuitization. In the
determination of J, if the Company currently does not offer the applicable
Guarantee Period, then the rate will be determined by linear interpolation of
the Initial Interest Rate for the nearest two Guarantee Periods that are
available.
N = The number of full months remaining in the current Guarantee Period at the
time the withdrawal or annuitization request is processed.
10
11
If a Withdrawal Charge is applied to a withdrawal, then the MVA will be applied
to the withdrawal amount net of the Withdrawal Charge.
There will be no MVA on withdrawals from the Fixed Account Options in the
following situations: (1) to pay a Death Benefit paid upon death of the
Participant; (2) on amounts withdrawn to pay fees or charges; (3) on amounts
withdrawn from the Fixed Account Options within thirty (30) days after the end
of the Guarantee Period; (4) on annuitizations on the Latest Annuity Date; (5)
on amounts withdrawn from the 1-Year Fixed Account Option or the 1-Year DCA
Fixed Account Option.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
We will deduct the following charges from the Certificate:
CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATION CHARGE
The charge specified on the Certificate Data Page will be deducted on each
Certificate anniversary that occurs on or prior to the Annuity Date. It will
also be deducted when the Certificate Value is withdrawn in full if withdrawal
is not on the Certificate anniversary. We reserve the right to assess a charge
on a class basis which is less than the charge specified on the Certificate Data
Page.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
This charge may be deducted upon withdrawal of any portion of the Certificate
Value. See WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS.
MORTALITY RISK CHARGE
On an annual basis this charge equals 0.90% of the average daily total net asset
value of the Subaccounts to which Your Purchase Payments are allocated. This
charge is to compensate Us for assuming the mortality risks under the
Certificate.
EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
On an annual basis this charge equals 0.35% of the average daily total net asset
value of the Subaccounts to which Your Purchase Payments are allocated. This
charge is to compensate Us for assuming the expense risks under the Certificate.
DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE CHARGE
On an annual basis this charge equals 0.15% of the average daily total net asset
value of the Subaccounts to which Your Purchase Payments are allocated. This
charge is to compensate Us for all distribution expenses associated with the
Certificate.
GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT RISK CHARGE
On an annual basis this charge equals 0.12% of the average daily total net asset
value of the Subaccounts to which Your Purchase Payments are allocated. This
charge is to compensate Us for the risk assumed as a result of contractual
obligations to provide a minimum guaranteed Death Benefit prior to the Annuity
Date.
11
12
TRANSFER PROVISIONS
Prior to the Annuity Date, You may transfer all or part of Your Certificate
Value to any of the Subaccounts or Fixed Account Options subject to certain
restrictions. We reserve the right to charge a fee for transfers if the number
of transfers exceeds the limit specified by Us. The minimum amount that can be
transferred and the amount that can remain in a Subaccount or Fixed Account
Option are subject to Company limits.
TRANSFERS OF ACCUMULATION AND ANNUITY UNITS BETWEEN SUBACCOUNTS
Prior to the Annuity Date, You may transfer all or a portion of Your Certificate
Value between Subaccounts. A transfer will result in the purchase of
Accumulation Units in a Subaccount and the redemption of Accumulation Units in
the other Subaccount. Transfers will be effected at the next computed
Accumulation Unit Value following Our receipt of Your request for transfer.
Accumulation Unit Values are calculated at the close of each NYSE business day.
After the Annuity Date, You may transfer all or a portion of Your Certificate
Value from one Subaccount to another Subaccount. A transfer will result in the
purchase of Annuity Units in a Subaccount and the redemption of Annuity Units in
the other Subaccount. Transfers will be effected for the last NYSE business day
of the month in which We receive Your request for the transfer.
TRANSFERS OF ACCUMULATION UNITS TO AND FROM THE FIXED ACCOUNT
Prior to the Annuity Date, You may transfer all or any part of Your Certificate
Value from the Subaccount(s) to the Fixed Account Option(s) or from the Fixed
Account Option(s) to the Subaccount(s) of the Certificate. However, You may only
transfer to the 1-Year DCA Fixed Account Option if You are participating in the
DCA program.
After the Annuity Date, transfers into or out of the Fixed Account Option(s) are
not allowed.
WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
On or before the Annuity Date and while the Participant is living, You may
withdraw all or part of Your Certificate Value under this Certificate by
informing Us at Our Annuity Service Center. For a full withdrawal, this
Certificate must be returned to Our Annuity Service Center. The
12
13
minimum amount that can be withdrawn and the amount remaining after withdrawal
are subject to Company limits.
Without a written notice to the contrary, withdrawals will be deducted from the
Certificate Value in proportion to their allocation among the Fixed Account
Options and the Subaccounts. Withdrawals will be based on values for the NYSE
business day in which the request for withdrawal and the Certificate (in the
case of a full withdrawal), are received at Our Executive Office. 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 Certificate Value may be subject to a
Withdrawal Charge as shown in the chart below. The Withdrawal Charge applied to
any withdrawal will depend on how long the Purchase Payment to which the
withdrawal is attributed has been in the Certificate. No Withdrawal Charge is
made on an amount withdrawn which is considered to be a withdrawal of
penalty-free earnings.
For the purpose of determining the Withdrawal Charge, a withdrawal will be
attributed to amounts in the following order: (1) penalty-free earnings in the
Certificate; (2) Purchase Payments which are both no longer subject to the
Withdrawal Charge and are not yet withdrawn; (3) any remaining Penalty-Free
Withdrawal amount (except in the case of a full surrender); and (4) Purchase
Payments subject to a Withdrawal Charge. Purchase Payments, when withdrawn, are
assumed to be withdrawn on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You will not
receive the benefit of a Penalty-Free Withdrawal in a full surrender.
Number of Contribution Years Elapsed Withdrawal Charge as a
Between Contribution Year of Purchase Payment Percentage of Withdrawn
and Contribution Year of Withdrawal Purchase Payment
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
1 7%
2 6%
3 5%
4 4%
5 3%
6 2%
7 1%
8+ 0%
The Withdrawal Charge will be assessed against the Subaccounts and the Fixed
Account Options in the same proportion as the remaining Certificate Value is
allocated unless You request that the withdrawal come from a particular Fixed
Account Option or Subaccount. If the remaining Certificate Value is insufficient
to cover the Withdrawal Charge, any remaining balance will be deducted from the
withdrawal amount requested.
PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS
13
14
As of any day, You may make a withdrawal of up to the Penalty-Free Withdrawal
amount for that day without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. Any Penalty-Free
Withdrawal made in excess of penalty-free earnings in the Certificate is
considered to be a withdrawal of future penalty-free earnings and is therefore
not a withdrawal of the Total Invested Amount. On any day, penalty-free earnings
in the Certificate are calculated as the Certificate Value at the end of that
day less the Total Invested Amount.
During the first Certificate Year, the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount is equal
to the penalty-free earnings in the Certificate as of the date of withdrawal.
Alternatively, during the first Certificate Year, You may make withdrawals of
the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount through the Systematic Withdrawal Program.
The Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as of any systematic withdrawal date is 10%
of the Total Invested Amount less any withdrawals already made during the
Certificate Year.
After the first Certificate Year, the maximum Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as
of the date of the withdrawal is the greater of:
(a) penalty-free earnings in the Certificate as of that date; or
(b) 10% of the Total Invested Amount on deposit for at least one year, less
any withdrawals already made during the year.
Although amounts withdrawn free of a Withdrawal Charge may reduce principal,
they do not reduce the Total Invested Amount for purposes of calculating the
Withdrawal Charge or for the purposes of calculating penalty-free earnings in
the Certificate. As a result, You will not receive the benefit of a Penalty-Free
Withdrawal in a full surrender.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
Prior to the Annuity Date, You may elect to participate in the Systematic
Withdrawal Program by informing Us at Our Annuity Service Center. The Systematic
Withdrawal Program allows You to make automatic withdrawals from your account
monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. The minimum systematic withdrawal
amount is $250 per withdrawal. Any amount withdrawn through the Systematic
Withdrawal Program may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge and a Market Value
Adjustment as discussed in the WITHDRAWAL CHARGE, PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS and
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT provisions. You may terminate Your participation in the
Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time by sending us a written request.
Systematic withdrawals will be deducted from the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount
available each Certificate Year.

elects a new Annuitant. If there are Joint Annuitants, upon the death of any
Annuitant prior to the Annuity Date, the Participant may elect a new Joint
Annuitant. However, if the Participant is a non-natural, We will treat the death
of any Annuitant as the death of the "Primary Annuitant" and as the death of the
Participant, see DEATH PROVISIONS.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX

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 from the
1-Year Fixed Account Option, plus interest at the rate of 4% per year, will be
deducted from the next payment(s) due. Any underpayment from the 1-Year Fixed
Account Option, plus interest at the rate of 4% per year, will be paid in full
with the next payment due. Any overpayment from the Subaccounts will be deducted
from the next payment(s) due. Any underpayment from the Subaccounts will be paid
in full with the next payment due.
PROOF OF AGE, SEX, OR SURVIVAL
The Company may require satisfactory proof of correct Age or sex at any time. If
any payment under this Certificate depends on the Annuitant being alive, the
Company may require satisfactory proof of survival.
CONFORMITY WITH STATE LAWS
The provisions of this Certificate will be interpreted by the laws of the state
in which the enrollment form was signed or such other state as is required by
law. Any provision which, on the Certificate Date, is in conflict with the law
of such state is amended to conform to the minimum requirements of such law.
CHANGES IN LAW
If the laws governing this Certificate or the taxation of benefits under the
Certificate change, We reserve the right to amend this Certificate to comply
with these changes.

Us must be sent to Our Annuity Service Center, as specified on the Certificate
Data Page.
PERIODIC REPORTS
At least once during each Certificate Year, We will send You a statement of the
account activity of the Certificate. The statement will include all transactions
which have occurred during the accounting period shown on the statement.
Statements of Your Certificate Value will cease to be provided to You after the
Annuity Date.
INCONTESTABILITY
This Certificate will be incontestable from the Certificate Date.
NONPARTICIPATING

DEATH PROVISIONS
Notwithstanding any provision of this Certificate to the contrary, all payments
of benefits under this Certificate will be made in a manner that satisfies the
requirements of IRC Section 72(s), as amended from time to time. If the
Certificate 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 Participant.
DEATH OF PARTICIPANT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE. We will pay a death benefit to the
Beneficiary upon Our receiving all required documentation including: (a) due
proof that any Participant died before the Annuity Date; and (b) an election
form selecting the payment option form the options listed below. If no election
is received within 60 days of our receipt of
16
17
due proof of death, the death benefit will be paid in accordance with option 1
below. 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 and death; or
2. Collect the death benefit in the form of one of the
Annuity Payment Options. The payments must be over the
life of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending
beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. Payments
under this option must commence within one year after the
Participant's death, otherwise, the death benefit will be
paid in accordance with option 1 above; or
3. If the Beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, the
Beneficiary may elect to become the Participant and
continue the Certificate in force. If this option is
elected, no death benefit is paid. Upon the new
Participant's subsequent death, the entire interest must
be distributed immediately under option 1 or 2 above.
In any event, the entire interest in the Certificate will be distributed within
five years from the date of death of the Participant.
DUE PROOF OF DEATH Due Proof of Death means:
1. a certified copy of a death certificate; or
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 Participant at the time of death; or
4. any other proof satisfactory to Us.
AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT
The amount of the death benefit will be determined based upon your selection on
the Participant Enrollment Form. Once selected, the death benefit option cannot
be changed. The death benefit options are as described below.
OPTION I: PURCHASE PAYMENT ACCUMULATION DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
Prior to the Annuity Date and upon death of the Participant, the Beneficiary
will receive the greatest of:
17
18
1. the Certificate Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive
all required documentation including due proof of death of the
Participant and an election of the type of payment to be made at Our
Annuity Service Center; or
2. Purchase Payments less any partial withdrawals, compounded until the
date of death at 4% interest, plus any Purchase Payments and less any
withdrawals recorded after the date of death; or
3. the Certificate Value at the seventh Certificate anniversary, plus any
subsequent Purchase Payments and less any subsequent partial withdrawals
compounded until the date of death at 4% interest, plus any Purchase
Payments and less any partial withdrawals recorded after the date of
death.
If the Participant was age 70 or older on the Certificate Date, both (2) and (3)
above will be compounded at 3%, rather than 4%. If the death benefit is paid on
the death of a Participant who was not originally named in the application and
was age 70 or older on the Certificate Date, both (2) and (3) above will be
compounded at 3%, rather than 4%.
OPTION II: MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
If, upon the death of the Participant and prior to the Annuity Date, the
Participant has not attained his or her 90th birthday, the Beneficiary will
receive the greatest of:
1. the Certificate Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive
all required documentation including due proof of death the Participant
and an election of the type of payment to be made at Our Annuity Service
Center; or
2. Purchase Payments less any partial withdrawals; or
3. the maximum anniversary value preceding the date of death. The maximum
anniversary value is equal to the greatest anniversary value attained
from the following:
As of the date of receipt of due proof of death and an election of the
type of payment to be made, at our Annuity Service Center, We will
calculate an anniversary value for each Certificate anniversary prior to
the Participant's 81st birthday. The anniversary value is equal to the
Certificate Value on a Certificate anniversary, increased by the dollar
amount of any Purchase Payments made since that anniversary and reduced
by the dollar amount of any partial withdrawals since that anniversary.
If the deceased Participant has attained age 90, then the death benefit will be
the Certificate Value as defined in (1) above.
DEATH OF PARTICIPANT OR ANNUITANT ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE. If any
Participant or Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date and before the entire
interest in the Certificate has been distributed, We will pay the remaining
portion of the interest of the
18
19
Certificate under the annuity payment option being used on the date of death.
For further information pertaining to death of the Annuitant, see ANNUITY
PAYMENT OPTIONS.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is as designated on the Participant Enrollment Form unless later
changed by the Participant. While: (a) the Participant is living; and (b) before
the Annuity Date, the Participant may change the Beneficiary by written notice
in a form satisfactory to Us. The change will take effect on the date We record
the proper notice subject to any payments We have made. If two or more persons
are named: (a) those surviving the Participant will share equally unless
otherwise stated; and (b) the Beneficiaries must elect to receive their
respective portions of the death benefit according to the options listed under
DEATH OF PARTICIPANT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE. If the Annuitant survives the
Participant, and there are no surviving Beneficiaries, the Annuitant will be
deemed the Beneficiary.
Joint Participants, if applicable, shall be each other's primary Beneficiary.
Joint Annuitants, if any, when the Participant is a non-natural person, shall be
each other's primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designated on the
Participant Enrollment Form will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary.
If the Participant is also the Annuitant and there are no surviving
Beneficiaries at the death of the Participant, the death benefit will be paid to
the estate of the Participant in accordance with option 1, under DEATH OF
PARTICIPANT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
ANNUITY DATE
The Participant selects an Annuity Date (the date on which annuity payments are
to begin) at the time of application. The Participant may change the Annuity
Date at any time, at least seven days prior to the Annuity Date, by written
notice to the Company at its Annuity Service Center. The Annuity Date must
always be the first day of the calendar month and must be at least two years
after the Certificate Date, but not beyond the later of the Participant's 90th
birthday or ten years after the Certificate Date. If the Participant is a
non-natural person, the latest Annuity Date is the later of the Annuitant's 90th
birthday or ten years after the Certificate Date. If no Annuity Date is
selected, the Annuity Date will be the latest Annuity Date, as set by the
Company.
PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANT
Unless You request otherwise, We will make annuity payments to You. If You want
the annuity payments to be made to some other Payee, We will make such payments
subject to receipt of a written request filed at the Annuity Service Center no
later than thirty (30) days before the due date of the first annuity payment.
Any such request is subject to the rights of any assignee. No payments available
to or being paid to the Payee while the Annuitant is alive can be transferred,
commuted, anticipated or encumbered.
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
19
20
If a Fixed Annuity payment option has been elected, the proceeds payable under
this Certificate less any applicable premium taxes, shall be applied to the
payment of the Fixed Annuity payment option elected at rates which are at least
equal to the annuity rates based upon the applicable tables in the Certificate.
In no event will the Fixed Annuity payments be changed once they begin.
AMOUNT OF FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
The amount of each Fixed Annuity payment will be determined by applying the
portion of the Certificate Value allocated to Fixed Annuity payments less any
applicable premium taxes to the annuity table applicable to the Fixed Annuity
payment option chosen.
AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
(a) FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT: The dollar amount of the first Variable
Annuity payment will be determined by applying the portion of the
Certificate Value allocated to the Subaccount, less any applicable
premium taxes, to rates which are at least equal to the annuity rates
based upon the annuity table applicable to the Variable Annuity payment
option chosen. If the Certificate Value is allocated to more than one
Subaccount, the value of Your interest in each Subaccount is applied
separately to the Variable Annuity payment option table to determine the
amount of the first annuity payment attributable to each Subaccount.
(b) NUMBER OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNITS: The number of Annuity Units for each
applicable Subaccount is the amount of the first annuity payment
attributable to that Subaccount divided by the value of the applicable
Annuity Unit for that Subaccount as of the Annuity Date. The number will
not change as a result of investment experience.
(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 Subaccount 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 Subaccount for the last
NYSE business day of the current month.
The Net Investment Factor for any Subaccount for a certain month is determined
by dividing (1) by (2) where:
(1) is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Subaccount
determined as of the last business day at the end of that
month, and
(2) is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Subaccount
determined as of the last business day at the end of the
preceding month.
The result is then multiplied by a factor that neutralizes the assumed
investment rate of 3.5%.
(d) SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS: After the first Variable Annuity
payment, payments will vary in amount according to the investment
performance of the applicable Subaccount(s) to which Your Purchase
Payments are allocated. The amount may change from month to month. The
amount of each subsequent payment for each Subaccount is:
20
21
The number of Annuity Units for each Subaccount as determined for the first
annuity payment
Multiplied by
The value of an Annuity Unit for that Subaccount at the end of the month
immediately preceding the month in which payment is due.
We guarantee that the amount of each Variable Annuity payment will not be
affected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.
21
22
