For example, if You select an Annuity option guaranteeing payments for Your lifetime and Your spouse's lifetime, Your payments will typically be lower than if You select an Annuity option with payments over only Your lifetime. Annuity options that guarantee that payments will be made for a certain number of years regardless of whether the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is alive (such as Options 2, as defined below) result in payments that are smaller than with Annuity options without such a guarantee (such as Option 1, Option 3 or Option 4, as defined below). In addition, to the extent the Annuity options have a guarantee period, choosing a shorter guarantee period will result in each payment being larger. Generally, if more than one frequency is permitted under Your Contract, choosing less frequent payments will result in each Annuity payment being larger.

Misstatement. We may require proof of age of the Contract Owner, Beneficiary or Annuitant before making any payments under this Contract that are measured by the Contract Owner's, Beneficiary's or Annuitant▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s life. If the age of the measuring life has been misstated, the amount payable will be the amount that would have been provided at the correct age. Once Annuity payments Payments have begun, the amount of any overpayments or underpayments will be deducted from or added to the payment or payments made after the adjustment. In certain states, we We are required to pay interest on any underpayments. CHANGE OF ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT MATURITY DATE OR ANNUITY OPTION You may change the Annuity Commencement Maturity Date at any time as long as such change is made in writing and is received by Us at least 30 days before the scheduled Annuity Commencement DateMaturity Date is scheduled to become effective. Once an Annuity option has begun, it may not be changed. ANNUITY OPTIONS Any You or a Participant, if authorized, may elect any one of the following Annuity Options may be electedoptions. Annuity payments Payments may be available on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual semiannual, or annual basis. The minimum amount that may be applied to Annuity Options options is $2,000 unless we We consent to a smaller amount. If any periodic payments due are less than $100, We reserve the right to make payments at less frequent intervals. Where required by state law or under a qualified retirement Plan, sex will not be taken into account in calculating Annuity Payments. Annuity rates will not be less than the rates guaranteed by the Contract at the time of purchase. Due to underwriting, administrative or Code considerations, the choice of percentage reduction and/or the duration of the Guarantee Period may be limited. We use the Life Annuity Tables to determine the first monthly payment. They show the dollar amount of the first monthly Annuity Payment which can be purchased with each $1,000 applied. The amount applied to an Annuity will be the Cash Surrender Value attributable to a Participant's Individual Account as of 14 days before the Maturity Date. We reserve the right to require satisfactory proof of age of any person on whose life We base Annuity Payments before making the first payment under any of these options. Any Cash Surrender Value We apply to an Annuity option will provide payments at least equal to those provided if the same amount was applied to purchase a single premium immediate Annuity We offer at that time for the same class of Contracts. If it would produce a larger payment, We agree that We will determine the Annuity Payment using the Life Annuity Tables in effect on the Maturity Date. As provided in Your Contract, We may adjust the age used to determine Annuity Payments, and We may deduct Premium Taxes from Annuity Payments. Your income payment amount will depend upon Your choices. For lifetime options, the age and sex (where permitted) of the measuring lives (Annuitants) will also be considered. For example, if You select an Annuity option guaranteeing payments for Your lifetime and Your spouse's lifetime, Your payments will typically be lower than if You select an Annuity option with payments over only Your lifetime. Annuity options that guarantee that payments will be made for a certain number of years regardless of whether the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is alive (such as Options 2, as defined below) result in payments that are smaller than with Annuity options without such a guarantee (such as Option 1, Option 3 or Option 4, as defined below). In addition, to the extent the Annuity options have a guarantee period, choosing a shorter guarantee period will result in each payment being larger. Generally, if more than one frequency is permitted under Your Contract, choosing less frequent payments will result in each Annuity payment being larger. Option 1 -- Life Annuity -- NO REFUND: The Company will make Annuity payments Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant ending with the last payment before death. This option offers the maximum periodic payment, since there is no assurance of a minimum number of payments or provision for a death benefit for Beneficiaries. Option 2 -- Life Annuity With 120, 180, or 240 Monthly Payments Assured: The Company will make monthly Annuity payments Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the agreement that if, at the death of that person, payments have been made for less than 120, 180, or 240 months as elected, We will continue making payments to the Beneficiary during the remainder of the period. Option 3 -- Cash Refund Life Annuity: The Company will make annuity payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Upon the death of the Annuitant, the Beneficiary will receive a payment equal to the Cash Value applied to this option on the Annuity Commencement Date minus the dollar amount of annuity payments already paid. Option 4 -- Joint And Last Survivor Life Annuity -- NO REFUND: The Company will make annuity payments during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a second person. On the death of either person, We will continue making payments to the survivor. No further payments will be made following the death of the survivor. OPTION 5 -- Payments For A Designated Period: We will make periodic payments guaranteed for the number of years selected which may be from five to thirty years. Please note that Option 5 may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules for Qualified Contracts. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option. OPTION 6 -- Annuity Proceeds Settlement Option: Proceeds from the Death Benefit may be left with the Company for a period not to exceed five years from the date of the Owner's or Annuitant's death prior to the Annuity.
