The guaranteed minimum interest rate (for the interest rate guarantee periods) is shown on the schedule page. Taxes Some states charge a premium tax. We will deduct premium taxes if we must pay them. This may occur, for example, at the time when you pay a premium, surrender the policy, make a full or partial withdrawal, when the policy reaches the maturity date, or when a death benefit is paid. No charges are currently imposed for Federal, state, or local taxes other than state premium taxes. However, we reserve the right to deduct charges in the future for such taxes that are attributable to this policy. Transfers During the accumulation period, you may transfer the accumulation value among variable sub-accounts of the separate account and the interest rate guarantee periods of the guaranteed interest account. However, there may be restrictions on transfers from the interest rate guaranteed periods, see your schedule page for any limitations. During the annuity period, if you have chosen a variable annuity payment option, you may transfer the separate account value among the various variable sub-accounts, or to a fixed payment option. However, values are not permitted to be transferred from a fixed payment option. There are no limits on the number of transfers allowed. However, a transfer fee may be deducted from the accumulation value after you make 12 transfers in a policy year. The transfer fee may be applied to each transfer made. All transfers are subject to minimum amounts. Transfers from the guaranteed interest account may be subject to a MVA. Cash Surrender Value The cash surrender value before annuity payments begin equals:
