on whose life Annuity Payments are based. We reserve the right to discontinue

You, as the Owner, may change owners at any time after the Issue Date. A change
of Owner request may be refused in a non-discriminatory manner in order to

JOINT OWNER
A Contract may be owned by Joint Owners, limited to two natural persons. Joint

those ownership rights unless otherwise allowed by us. Upon the death of either
Owner, the surviving Joint Owner will be deemed to be the primary Beneficiary.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the person on whose life Annuity Payments are based. The
Annuitant is the person designated by you as of the Issue Date, unless changed
prior to the Annuity Date. The Annuitant may not be changed in a Contract which
is owned by a non-natural person. Any change of Annuitant is subject to our
underwriting rules in effect at the time of the request.
ASSIGNMENT
You may assign your rights under this Contract prior to the Annuity Date except
in situations where restrictions are required for the purposes of satisfying
applicable laws or regulations. If your contract is assigned absolutely, we will
treat it as a change of ownership and all rights will be transferred. We are not
bound by any assignment unless it is in writing and until it is recorded at our
Annuity Service Office. We are not responsible for the validity of any
assignment. The change will become effective as of the date the Notice is
signed, unless otherwise specified by the Owner, subject to any payments made or
actions taken by the Company prior to receipt of this notice. After the Annuity
Date, your Contract may not be assigned.

a natural person, the Annuitant's death); or if there are none, then
2. to the contingent Beneficiary(ies) who survive you (or if the Owner is
not a natural person, the Annuitant's death); or if there are none, then
3. to your estate.

is signed, unless otherwise specified by the Owner, subject to any payments made
or actions taken by the Company prior to receipt of this notice.
PURCHASE PAYMENT PROVISIONS
PURCHASE PAYMENT
The Purchase Payment is due on the Issue Date. The Maximum Purchase Payment
permitted under this Contract is shown on the Contract Schedule. Additional
Purchase Payments are not allowed.
If more than one annuity contract or life insurance policy is being exchanged,
or if your Purchase Payment will be paid from different sources (e.g. personal
check and proceeds from a brokerage account), we will allow the proceeds to be
used as the Purchase Payment for the Contract. We may refuse to accept any
portion of the Purchase Payment not received by the Company within 90 days of
the Issue Date
We may revoke the Contract if proceeds from all of the exchanged annuity
contracts or life insurance policies or other different sources do not equal, in
the aggregate, the Minimum Purchase Payment as shown on your Contract Schedule.
If the Contract is revoked, we will return the Account Value without application
of any Withdrawal Charges.
ACCOUNT VALUE PROVISION
ACCOUNT VALUE
Your Account Value for any Business Day is the sum of your interests in the
Subaccounts of the Separate Account as of such Business Day.
The portion of your Account Value in a Subaccount is determined by multiplying
the number of Accumulation Units allocated to the Contract for the Subaccount by
the Accumulation Unit Value.
ACCOUNT FEE
The Account Fee, if any, is shown on the Contract Schedule. Any Account Fee will
be deducted from the Account Value.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is designated on the Contract Schedule and consists of
assets owned by us, which are kept separate from our General Account assets and
all of our other segregated asset accounts. The assets of the Separate Account,
equal to reserves and other liabilities of your Contract and those of other
owners who have an interest in the Separate Account, will not be charged with
liabilities arising out of any other business we may do. Income, gains, and
losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account
shall be credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to
other income, gains or losses of the company.
The Separate Account assets are divided into Subaccounts. The assets of each
Subaccount are invested in a single Investment Option.
INVESTMENTS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Purchase Payment applied to the Separate Account is allocated to the
Subaccounts of the Separate Account according to your instructions. We may add
additional Investment Options. You may be permitted to transfer all or a portion
of your Account Value to the additional Investment Option(s). However, the right
to make
6-200-1 (11/14)
9
any transfer is limited as described in this Contract and will be subject to any
terms and conditions in effect at the time of transfer.
If the shares of any of the Investment Options become unavailable for investment
by the Separate Account, or we deem further investment in these shares
inappropriate, we may prohibit or otherwise limit further purchase of such
shares, subject to obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals. We may
substitute shares of another Investment Option for shares already purchased
under this Contract, subject to obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals.
CHANGE IN OPERATION
We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account to another
account, and to modify the structure or operation of the Separate Account,
subject to obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals. If we do so, we
guarantee that such modification will not affect your Account Value.
VALUATION OF ASSETS
Assets of the Separate Account are valued at their fair market value in
accordance with our procedures.
ACCUMULATION UNIT
Accumulation Units shall be used to account for all amounts allocated to or
withdrawn from a Subaccount of the Separate Account as a result of the Purchase
Payment, withdrawals, transfers, or fees and charges. We will determine the
number of Accumulation Units of a Subaccount purchased or canceled. This is done
by dividing the amount allocated to (or the amount withdrawn from) the
Subaccount, by the dollar value of one Accumulation Unit of the Subaccount as of
the end of the Business Day during which the Notice for the transaction is
received at the Annuity Service Office.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The initial Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount was set by us.
Subsequent Accumulation Unit Values for each Subaccount are determined by
multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value for the immediately preceding Business
Day by the Net Investment Factor of the Subaccount for the current Business Day.
The Accumulation Unit Value may increase or decrease from Business Day to
Business Day.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor for each Subaccount is determined by dividing A by B
and multiplying by (1-C) where:
A is (i) the net asset value per share of the Investment Option held by the
Subaccount at the end of the current Business Day; plus
(ii) any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of such
Investment Option that has an ex-dividend date as of the current
Business Day.
B is the net asset value per share of the Investment Option held by the
Subaccount for the immediately preceding Business Day.
C is (i) the Separate Account Product Charges which are shown on the
Contract Schedule for each day since the last Business Day. The
daily charge is equal to the annual Separate Account Product Charges
divided by 365; plus
(ii) a charge factor, if any, for any taxes or any tax reserve we have
established as a result of the operation of this Subaccount.
PRODUCT CHARGES
We deduct Product Charges from the Separate Account and Account Value as shown
on the Contract Schedule.
TRANSFER PROVISIONS
You may make certain transfers of your Account Value subject to the provisions
set forth below. You may elect to make these transfers by telephone or other
means acceptable to us. However, to elect this option you must first provide us
with a Notice in a form that we may require. If there are Joint Owners, unless
we are instructed to the contrary, transfer instructions will be accepted from
either one of the Joint Owners. We will use reasonable procedures to confirm
that instructions are genuine. Neither we nor our Annuity Service Office will
6-200-1 (11/14)
10
be liable for any transfers made in accordance with your instructions. All
transfers made on the same Business Day will be treated as one transfer. A
transfer will be made as of the end of a Business Day when we receive a Notice
containing all the required information necessary to process the request.
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD
During the Accumulation Period, you may ask us to transfer your Account Value
from one Subaccount to another, subject to the following:
1. the maximum number of transfers per Contract Year is shown on the Contract
Schedule;
2. We reserve the right to assess a transfer fee, if any, if the number of
transfers exceeds the maximum number of permissible free transfers shown on
the Contract Schedule;
3. the minimum and maximum amounts which may be transferred are shown on the
Contract Schedule;
4. your right to make transfers is subject to limitations or modification by
us if We determine that the exercise of the right by one or more owners
with interests in the Subaccount is, or would be, to the disadvantage of
other owners. Restrictions may be applied in any manner reasonably designed
to prevent any use of the transfer right that is considered by us to be to
the disadvantage of other owners. A limitation or modification could be
applied to transfers to, or from, one or more of the Subaccounts and could
include, but is not limited to:
a. the requirement of a minimum time period between each transfer;
b. not accepting a transfer request from an agent acting under a power
of attorney on behalf of more than one owner;
c. limiting the dollar amount that may be transferred between the
Subaccounts by an owner at any one time;
d. requiring that a written transfer request be provided to us, signed
by an owner;
5. to the extent permitted by applicable law, during times of drastic
economic or market conditions, we may suspend the transfer privilege
temporarily without notice and treat transfer requests based on their
separate components (a redemption order with a simultaneous request for
purchase of another Subaccount). In such a case, the redemption order would
be processed at the source Subaccount's next determined Accumulation Unit
Value. However, the purchase into the new Subaccount would be effective at
the next determined Accumulation Unit Value for the new Subaccount only
after we receive the proceeds from the source Subaccount, or we otherwise
receive cash on behalf of the source Subaccount;
DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS
DEATH OF OWNER DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD
During the Accumulation Period, the death benefit will be paid to your
Beneficiary(ies) upon your death, or upon the first death of a Joint Owner.
DEATH BENEFIT DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD
The death benefit is the Account Value determined as of the end of the Business
Day on which we have received both due proof of death and an election for the
payment method. The death benefit amount in the Separate Account remains in the
Separate Account until distribution begins. From the time the death benefit is
determined until complete distribution is made, any amount in the Separate
Account will continue to be subject to investment risk. This risk is borne by
the Beneficiary.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD
A Beneficiary must elect the death benefit to be paid under one of the options
below in the event of the death of an Owner during the Accumulation Period. In
addition, if the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner, he or she may elect to
continue the Contract in his or her own name and exercise all the Owner's rights
under the Contract. The death benefit options available under the Contract are:
Option 1 - lump sum payment of the death benefit; or
Option 2 - the payment of the entire death benefit within five (5) years of the
date of the death of the Owner or the first Joint Owner to die; or
6-200-1 (11/14)
11
Option 3 - payment of the death benefit under an Annuity Option over the
lifetime of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life
expectancy of the Beneficiary with distribution beginning within one year of the
date of death of the Owner or the first Joint Owner to die.
Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Option 3 within one (1) year
of the date of the Owner's or Joint Owner's death must be distributed within
five (5) years of the date of death.
If a lump sum payment is requested, the amount will be paid within seven (7)
days of receipt of proof of death and the election, unless the Suspension or
Deferral of Payments or Transfers From the Separate Account provision is in
effect.
Payment to the Beneficiary, other than in a lump sum, may only be elected during
the sixty (60) day period beginning with the date of receipt of proof of death.
DEATH OF OWNER DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD
If the Owner or a Joint Owner, who is not the Annuitant, dies during the Annuity
Period, any remaining payments under the Annuity Option elected will continue at
least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of
the Owner's death. Upon the death of the Owner or a Joint Owner during the
Annuity Period, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner.
DEATH OF ANNUITANT
Upon the death of an Annuitant, who is not the Owner or Joint Owner, during the
Accumulation Period, the Owner automatically becomes the Annuitant. The Owner
may select a new Annuitant if the Owner does not want to be the Annuitant. Any
new Annuitant designation will be subject to the Company's underwriting rules
then in effect. However, if the Owner is a non-natural person, the death of the
primary Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner.
Upon the death of the Annuitant during the Annuity Period, the death benefit, if
any, will be as specified in the Annuity Option elected. Death benefits will be
paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the
Annuitant's death.
PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT
We will require due proof of death before any death benefit is paid. Due proof
of death will be:
1. a certified death certificate;
2. a certified decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding
of death;
3. a written statement by a licensed medical doctor who attended the
deceased; or
4. any other proof satisfactory to us.
Any death benefit will be paid in accordance with applicable law or regulations
governing death benefit payments.
In all events, death benefits under the Contract will be administered in
accordance with Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
WITHDRAWALS
Prior to the Annuity Date, you may, upon Notice to us, make a total or partial
withdrawal of the Withdrawal Value. A withdrawal will result in the cancellation
of Accumulation Units from each applicable Subaccount of the Separate Account in
the ratio that the Account Value in the Subaccount bears to the total Account
Value. You must specify in a Notice to us from which Subaccount(s) values are to
be withdrawn if other than the above method is desired. We will pay the amount
of any withdrawal within seven (7) days of receipt of the Notice in good order
unless the Suspension or Deferral of Payments or Transfers from the Separate
Account provision is in effect.
Each partial withdrawal must be for an amount which is not less than the minimum
shown on the Contract Schedule or, if smaller, the remaining Withdrawal Value.
If the withdrawal would result in the Account Value
6-200-1 (11/14)
12
being less than the Minimum Withdrawal Value Which must Remain in the Contract
after a Partial Withdrawal as shown on the Contract schedule, we will treat the
withdrawal request as a request for a full withdrawal.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
Upon withdrawal of all or a portion of the Account Value, a Withdrawal Charge as
set forth on the Contract schedule may be assessed. Under certain circumstances,
described on the Contract Schedule, a withdrawal may be made without the
imposition of a Withdrawal Charge.
For a partial withdrawal, the Withdrawal Charge will be deducted from the
remaining Account Value, if sufficient, or from the amount withdrawn.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
ANNUITY DATE
When your Contract is issued the Annuity Date, as defined under Annuity
Requirements in the Contract Schedule, is equal to the Maturity Date as shown on
the Contract Schedule. You may change the Annuity Date to an earlier date by
sending Notice to us. We must receive the Notice at least 30 days before the
Annuity Date you select.
ELECTION OF ANNUITY OPTION
The Annuity Option is elected by you. If no Annuity Option is elected, Option 3
- Life Annuity with Cash Refund will automatically be applied. Upon thirty (30)
days Notice prior to the Annuity Date you may change the Annuity Option.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
You may elect to receive Annuity Payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or
annually. The following Annuity Options, or any other Annuity Option acceptable
to you and us, may be elected:
OPTION 1 - LIFE ANNUITY
We will make Annuity Payments, payable at the frequency elected, during the
lifetime of the Annuitant and terminating with the last payment due prior to the
Annuitant's death.
OPTION 2 - LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10 YEARS OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED
We will make Annuity Payments, payable at the frequency elected, during the
lifetime of the Annuitant with a guarantee that if at the Annuitant's death
there have been less than 10 years of Annuity Payments made as selected, Annuity
Payments will continue for the remainder of the Guaranteed Period.
OPTION 3 - LIFE ANNUITY WITH CASH REFUND
We will make Annuity Payments, payable at the frequency elected, during the
lifetime of the Annuitant with a guarantee that if at the Annuitant's death the
total amount of Annuity Payments is less than the Account Value applied to the
Annuity Option, we will pay in a lump sum the difference of the two amounts.
OPTION 4 - JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
We will make Annuity Payments, payable at the frequency elected, during the
joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant. Upon the death of
either the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments will continue to be
paid during the remaining lifetime of the survivor. Annuity Payments cease with
the final Annuity Payment due prior to the last survivor's death.
OPTION 5 - JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY WITH 10 YEARS OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
GUARANTEED
We will make Annuity Payments, payable at the frequency elected, during the
joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant. Upon the death of
either the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments will continue to be
paid during the remaining lifetime of the survivor. If at the last death of the
Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant, there have been less than 10 years of Annuity
Payments made as selected, Annuity Payments will continue to be made for the
remainder of the Guaranteed Period.
6-200-1 (11/14)
13
OPTION 6 - JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY WITH XXXX REFUND
We will make Annuity Payments, payable at the frequency elected, during the
joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant. Upon the death of
either the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments will continue to be
paid during the remaining lifetime of the survivor. Upon last death of the
Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant, if the total amount of Annuity Payments is
less than the Account Value applied to the Annuity Option, we will pay in a lump
sum the difference of the two amounts.
ANNUITY
You can elect to have the Annuity Option payable as Fixed Annuity Payments.
Fixed Annuity Payments are guaranteed as to dollar amount. Unless another payee
is designated, you will be the payee of the Annuity Payments.
The "Adjusted Account Value" is the Account Value, less any Premium and Other
Taxes or other applicable taxes and less any applicable Account Fee. The
Adjusted Account Value will be applied to the applicable Fixed Annuity Tables to
determine your Annuity Payment. The Adjusted Account Value is determined on the
Annuity Calculation Date which is a Business Day no more than five Business Days
prior to the Annuity Date. The amount of the payment for each $1,000 of Adjusted
Account Value is shown in the Annuity Tables.
FIXED ANNUITY
Fixed Annuity Payments are based upon the Annuity Option elected, the
Annuitant's Attained Age and sex, and the appropriate Fixed Annuity Option
Table. If, as of the Annuity Calculation Date, the then-current Fixed Annuity
Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide an Annuity Payment
greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this
Contract, then the greater payment will be made.
FREQUENCY AND AMOUNT OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Annuity Payments will be paid as monthly installments or at any frequency
acceptable to you and us. The Adjusted Account Value on the Annuity Calculation
Date is applied to the Annuity Table for the Annuity Option elected. If the
amount of the Adjusted Account Value to be applied under an Annuity Option is
less than $5,000, we reserve the right to make one lump sum payment in lieu of
Annuity Payments. If the amount of any Annuity Payment would be or becomes less
than $100, we may reduce the frequency of payments to an interval which will
result in each payment being at least $100.
BASIS OF PAYMENTS
