the variable account contract value prior to annuitization.
ANNUITANT

"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 under 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 under an annuity payment plan.
ANNUITY UNIT

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.
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
You may change the ownership. Any change of ownership 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.

provided below, to receive benefits of this contract if you or the annuitant

the benefits to you, if living, otherwise to your estate.
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY

273954 Page 6
PAYMENTS TO BENEFICIARY
DEATH BENEFIT 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.
As of the date we receive due proof of death, w e will pay the beneficiary the
greater of the following amounts, less any applicable purchase payment credits
that have not vested:
1. the contract value; or
2. the "Return of Payment Value".
RETURN OF PAYMENT VALUE (ROP) DEFINITION
The ROP is the total purchase payments AND ANY APPLICABLE PURCHASE PAYMENT
CREDITS MADE TO THE CONTRACT, minus "adjustments for partial withdrawals".
ADJUSTMENTS FOR PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS DEFINITION
"Adjustments for partial withdrawals" are for each partial withdrawal using
the following formula:
A X B where:
-------
C
A = the partial withdrawal including any
applicable withdrawal charge
B = the ROP on the date of (but prior to) the partial
withdrawal
C = the contract value 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 corporate office. Due
proof of death includes all documents needed to complete the beneficiary's
claim.
PAYMENT OF 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 begin no later than one year after the date of death; or
2. 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.
SPOUSE'S OPTION TO CONTINUE CONTRACT
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
Election by the spouse to continue the contract must be made by written
request within 60 days after we receive due proof of death. Upon such
continuation the contract value shall be equal to the death benefit that would
otherwise have been paid. Withdrawal charges, if any, 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.
273954 Page 7
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
PURCHASE PAYMENT
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 corporate
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 under Contract Data.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
In most cases, you request, in whole percentages, how you want your purchase
payments allocated among the One-Year Fixed Account, DCA Fixed Account,
Guarantee Period Accounts and variable subaccounts. The percentage of any
payment which may be allocated to the One-Year Fixed Account is shown under
Contract Data. We reserve the right to reduce this percentage during any time
period that our credited rate of interest for new purchase payments is equal
to the Guaranteed Minimum Effective Interest Rate shown under Contract Data.
We reserve the right to limit the accounts and/or subaccounts to which you can
allocate purchase payments or contract value at any time. In addition,
allocations to certain accounts or subaccounts may be limited or required
under the terms of certain optional benefit riders, if any, attached to this
contract. Your allocations as of the contract date are shown under Contract
Data.
Unless any restrictions apply, you may, by written request, or other method
agreed to by us, change your choice of accounts or percentages. The first
purchase payment will be allocated as of the end of the valuation period
during which we make an affirmative decision to issue this contract. Purchase
payments after the first will be allocated as of the end of the valuation
period during which we receive the payment at our corporate office.
PURCHASE PAYMENT CREDITS
If shown under Contract Data, we 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 shown under Contract Data.
273954 Page 8
CONTRACT VALUE

3. the value of the Guarantee Period Accounts; and
4. 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, DCA 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, DCA 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, DCA Fixed Account and Guarantee Period Accounts will be
deducted in the same proportion that your interest in each bears to the total
contract value.
ONE-YEAR FIXED ACCOUNT CONTRACT VALUE
The One-Year Fixed Account contract value at any time will be:

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, DCA Fixed Account 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.
DCA FIXED ACCOUNT CONTRACT VALUE
The DCA Fixed Account contract value at any time will be:

credits allocated to the DCA Fixed Account, plus interest credited; less

3. any amounts transferred from the Guarantee Period Accounts to any
variable subaccount or the One-Year Fixed Account; less
4. any amounts deducted for market value adjustments, charges or
withdrawals; plus
5. any amounts added for market value adjustments.
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 applicable
purchase payment credits so allocated, plus
2. the sum of the value of all variable subaccount accumulation units under
this contract resulting from amounts transferred to the variable
subaccounts from any variable subaccount, One-Year Fixed Account, DCA
Fixed Account or Guarantee Period Accounts; less
3. the sum of the value of all variable subaccount accumulation units under
this contract resulting from or amounts transferred from the variable
subaccounts to any variable subaccount, One-Year Fixed Account or
Guarantee Period Accounts; less

charges or withdrawals from the variable subaccounts.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
We charge a fee for establishing and maintaining our records for this
contract. The charge per year is shown under 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, One-Year Fixed Account, DCA
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 under 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.
273954 Page 9
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 unless contract values are required to be
allocated to certain accounts or subaccounts under the terms of certain
optional benefit riders, if any, attached to this contract.
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 and the limitations shown under Contract Data,
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.
4. You may transfer from the DCA Fixed Account to the other accounts as
explained in Dollar Cost Averaging, shown below. You may not transfer
values from any account into the DCA Fixed Account.
You may make a transfer by written request. Telephone transfers may also be
made according to telephone procedures or automated transfer procedures that
are then currently in effect, if any. There is no fee or charge for these
transfers. However, the minimum transfer is $500. If you request a transfer of
$500 or less, we will transfer the entire value in the subaccount, 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, Guarantee Period Accounts and
One-Year 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 (DCA)
You may authorize the automated transfer of an amount, at the interval
selected by you, from the 1-Year Guarantee Period Account, the One-Year Fixed
Account or any variable subaccount to any other variable subaccount, Guarantee
Period Account or the One-Year Fixed Account, subject to limitations shown
under Contract Data. Amounts transferred automatically from the 1-Year
Guarantee Period Account will not be subject to a market value adjustment. You
may terminate automated transfers at any time.
You may also allocate purchase payments to the DCA Fixed Account which will be
transferred out within the specified DCA Fixed Account period to an asset
allocation program model portfolio, or to the One-Year Fixed Account, a
Guarantee Period Account, and/or any variable subaccount. Transfers to the
One-Year Fixed Account and Guarantee Period Accounts are subject to
limitations shown under Contract Data. If you terminate automated transfers
from the DCA Fixed Account, the entire DCA Fixed Account balance will
immediately be transferred to the specified accounts or asset allocation
program model portfolio.
We reserve the right to change the terms and conditions of the DCA program at
any time.
273954 Page 10
FIXED, GUARANTEE PERIOD AND VARIABLE ACCOUNTS
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
The fixed account is our general 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 will credit interest to the fixed account. Interest will begin to accrue
daily on the date the purchase payments which are received in our corporate
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 fixed account will not be less than the minimum effective annual interest
rate shown under Contract Data.
We back the principal and interest guarantees relating to the fixed account.
Purchase payments and transfers to the fixed account become part of our
general account.
The fixed account consists of the One-Year Fixed Account and the Dollar Cost
Averaging Fixed Account.
ONE-YEAR FIXED ACCOUNT Payment allocations or transfers may be made to this
----------------------
account, subject to the limitations shown under Contract Data.
DCA FIXED ACCOUNT Payment allocations made to this account must be
-----------------
transferred, within the timeframe shown under Contract Data, to any or all of
the following:
o an asset allocation program model portfolio;
o variable subaccount(s);
o Guarantee Period Account(s), subject to the limitations shown under
Contract Data.;
o the One-Year Fixed Account, subject to the limitations shown under
Contract Data.
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 shown under Contract Data.
The Guarantee Period Account term durations we offer may vary over time. We
declare and guarantee an interest rate for the entire term duration of each
Guarantee Period Account when you make an allocation or transfer to a
Guarantee Period Account. We credit interest to Guarantee Period Account
contract values daily. All interest rates we quote are effective annual
interest rates - this refers to the rate that results after interest has
compounded daily for a full year. Refer to the Purchase Payments and Contract
Value sections for detailed Guarantee Period Account payment allocation and
contract value transfer rules.
You may transfer or withdraw contract value from a Guarantee Period Account
within the 30 day period before the end of the Guarantee Period Account's
guarantee period without receiving a Market Value Adjustment. During this 30
day window you may choose to transfer value to:
o a new Guarantee Period Account, subject to the limitations shown under
Contract Data, or
o the One-Year Fixed Account, subject to the limitations shown under
Contract Data, or
o any of the variable subaccounts.
Or, you may choose to withdraw the value from the contract (subject to
applicable withdrawal provisions). If we do not receive any instructions at
the end of your guarantee period we will automatically transfer the value into
a Guarantee Period Account with the shortest term duration we then offer.
Refer to the Withdrawal Provision section for detailed market value adjustment
and withdrawal rules.
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
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 RiverSource 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.
273954 Page 11
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 applicable 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 Table A under
the Tables of Annuity Rates section.

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 fixed account and following any required
regulatory approval, 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 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 shown under
Contract Data.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
A withdrawal charge may apply in the event you withdraw some or all of your
contract value. The withdrawal charge schedule for your contract is shown
under Contract Data. A withdrawal charge applies if you withdraw purchase
payments received that are still in the withdrawal charge period. 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:
PW - FA X (PP - PE)
-------
CV - FA
PW = 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.
273954 Page 13
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;
(3) amounts withdrawn from the Guarantee Period Accounts within 30 days
before the end of the Guarantee Period,
(4) amounts transferred due to rebalancing of an asset allocation program
model portfolio, and
(5) DCAs from the 1-Year Guarantee Period Account.
..
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 value (initial purchase payment and purchase
payment credit, if applicable, in the first contract year), 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.
273954 Page 14
WITHDRAWAL ORDER
We use this order to determine withdrawal charges.
o First, withdrawals up to 10% of your prior contract anniversary value
(initial purchase payment and purchase payment credit, if applicable, in
the first contract year) not previously withdrawn during this contract
year. (No withdrawal charge.)
o Next, withdrawals are from amounts representing contract earnings - if
any - in excess of the annual 10% free withdrawal amount. (No withdrawal
charge.)
o 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 under Contract Data prior to withdrawal. (No
withdrawal charge.)
o 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.
273954 Page 15
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
ANNUITIZATION
When annuitization occurs, the contract value, less any applicable Market
Value Adjustment and any purchase payment credits that have not vested, 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 corporate office.
The maximum retirement date is the latest of:
1. the annuitant's 90th birthday, or
2. the 10th contract anniversary, or
3. such other date as agreed upon by us.
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 corporate 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.
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 corporate 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.
273954 Page 16
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 and
the DCA Fixed Account are not available after annuitization.
FIXED ANNUITY
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
contract value amounts you allocate to provide fixed dollar payments 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 under the Tables of Annuity Rates section.
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 contract value amounts you allocate to provide variable
annuity payments 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 under the
Tables of Annuity Rates section.
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.
273954 Page 17
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.
