ANNUITY PROVISIONS Choice of Annuity Date — Unless otherwise changed as provided below, the Annuity Date is shown in the Contract Specifications. We assigned the Annuity Date based on the Contract type chosen and the Annuitant’s Age shown in the application for this Contract. If there are Joint Annuitants, the Annuity Date was based on the younger Annuitant’s birthday. The Annuity Date may be changed by providing proper notice to us at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the current Annuity Date or new Annuity Date, whichever is earlier, subject to any applicable state law or the Code. The new Annuity Date may not be earlier than the first Contract Anniversary and must occur on or before the day the Annuitant reaches his or her 95th birthday, or earlier, as required by any applicable state law or the Code. If there are Joint Annuitants, the Annuity Date will be based on the younger Annuitant’s birthday. You may be subject to additional restrictions under your Qualified Plan. You should consult with your Qualified Plan administrator before you elect an Annuity Date.

Fixed Annuity Payments The minimum guaranteed income purchased per $1,000 of the net amount applied to a fixed annuity is based on an annual interest rate of 3% and the 1983a Mortality Table with the ages set back ten (10) years. Conversion to Current Rates – Annuity payments will be based on the greater of: • our current income factors in effect for this Contract on the Annuity Date; or • our guaranteed income factors. The dollar amount of any payments after the first annuity payment is specified during the annuity payment period according to the provisions of the elected Annuity Option.
ANNUITY Payment of an income:
ANNUITY PAYMENTS If the Annuitant is living and this contract is in force on the Annuity Commencement Date, based on the election we have on record we will begin to make annuity payments under one of the payout options below or any other payout option we make available. You may elect for payments to be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually or any other frequency that we make available. If no election is made as of the Annuity Commencement Date, payments will be made monthly under Fixed Annuity Payout Option F-2 with a guaranteed period of 10 years. If annuity payout option F-3 is chosen, you must select a joint Annuitant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. All annuity payments are based on: • the age and sex (if a Non-Qualified Contract) of the Annuitant at the birthday nearest the Annuity Commencement Date; • the Accumulation Value on the Annuity Commencement Date less any annuity taxes; • the annuity payout option elected; and • the annuity payout frequency. Payee Unless you request otherwise, the payee of any annuity payments will be the first among the following who is living at the time the payment is to be made: • any surviving Owner or joint Owner; if none then • any surviving Primary Beneficiary; if none then • any surviving Contingent Beneficiary. If no payees are living and a guaranteed period has not ended, the present value of any remaining payments will be paid to the estate of the last remaining payee. Annuity Payout Options You may elect to receive annuity payments from one of the following options or any other option we make available. Unless stated otherwise, once annuity payments begin you may not change the Annuitant, payout option, guaranteed period or, in the case of option F-3, the survivor percentage. Life Annuity without Guaranteed Period (Option F-1) We will make fixed annuity payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. We do not guarantee a minimum number of annuity payments under this option. Payments stop once the Annuitant dies. Life Annuity with Guaranteed Period (Option F-2) We will make fixed annuity payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Payments are guaranteed for any number of full years between 1 and 30. The length of the guaranteed period must be elected prior to receiving any annuity payments, and cannot exceed the life expectancy of the Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies before the end of the guaranteed period, we will pay the balance of the payments for the remainder of that period, unless you elect to be paid the present value of the current dollar amount of the then remaining annuity payments in a lump sum. Joint and Survivor Annuity (Option F-3) We will make fixed annuity payments while the Annuitant and joint Annuitant are living and during the survivor’s remaining lifetime. Based on your selection, payments may have no guaranteed period or may have a guaranteed period for any number of full years between 1 and 30. If you select a guaranteed period, the length of the guaranteed period must be elected prior to receiving any annuity payments, and cannot exceed the joint life expectancy of the Annuitants. When the Annuitant or the joint Annuitant dies, payments based on a percentage of the payment in effect while both were living will continue for the lifetime of the survivor. The percentage may be any percentage between 5% and 100%. The percentage must be elected prior to receiving the first annuity payment. If both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant die before the end of any guaranteed period, we will pay the balance of the payments for the remainder of that period, unless you elect to be paid the present value of the current dollar amount of the then remaining annuity payments in a lump sum.
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity An immediate annuity for the life of the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the spouse which is not less than 50% and not more than 100% of the amount of the annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the spouse and which is the amount of benefit which can be purchased with the Participant's vested account balance. The percentage of the survivor annuity under the Plan shall be 50% (unless a different percentage is elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement).
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 4 -- 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. You may elect to have the present value of the guaranteed Variable Annuity Payments remaining, as of the date due proof of the Annuitant's death is received at our Annuity Service Office, commuted at the Assumed Investment Return selected. We will require the return of this Contract and proof of death prior to the payment of any commuted values. ANNUITY -- You can elect to have the Annuity Option payable as Fixed Annuity Payments or Variable Annuity Payments or a combination. Fixed Annuity Payments are guaranteed as to dollar amount. Variable Annuity Payments will reflect the investment experience of the Separate Account in accordance with the allocation of the Account Value to the Subaccounts. Unless another payee is designated, you will be the payee of the Annuity Payments. The Adjusted Account Value will be applied to the applicable Fixed and/or Variable Annuity Tables to determine your first 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 Adjusted Account Value is the Account Value, less any Premium and Other Taxes or other applicable taxes and less the Account Fee. The amount of the first 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. The dollar amount of the first Variable Annuity Payment is determined as follows. The first Variable Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's Attained Age and sex, and the appropriate Variable Annuity Option Table. If, as of the Annuity Calculation Date, the then current Variable Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of Contracts provide a first Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this Contract, the greater payment will be made. The dollar amount of Variable Annuity Payments for each applicable Subaccount after the first payment is determined as follows:
JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY The Advisory Committee must direct the Trustee to distribute a married or unmarried Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity, unless the Participant makes a valid waiver election (described in Section 6.05) within the 90 day period ending on the annuity starting date. If, as of the annuity starting date, the Participant is married, a qualified joint and survivor annuity is an immediate annuity which is purchasable with the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit and which provides a life annuity for the Participant and a survivor annuity payable for the remaining life of the Participant's surviving spouse equal to 50% of the amount of the annuity payable during the life of the Participant. If, as of the annuity starting date, the Participant is not married, a qualified joint and survivor annuity is an immediate life annuity for the Participant which is purchasable with the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit. On or before the annuity starting date, the Advisory Committee, without Participant or spousal consent, must direct the Trustee to pay the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a lump sum, in lieu of a qualified joint and survivor annuity, in accordance with Section 6.01, if the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is not greater than $3,500. This Section 6.04(A) applies only to a Participant who has completed at least one Hour of Service with the Employer after August 22, 1984.
Death Subsequent to Commencement of Benefit Payments In the event the Executive dies while receiving payments, but prior to receiving all payments due and owing hereunder, the Employer shall pay the Beneficiary the same amounts at the same times as the Employer would have paid the Executive, had the Executive survived.
