PURCHASE PAYMENTS
-----------------
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Purchase Payments may be made any time while this contract is in force before
the Annuity Commencement Date. You may start or stop, increase or decrease, or
skip any Purchase Payments.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENT
The purchase payments may not be more than the amount permitted by law if this
is a tax-qualified annuity. The minimum initial purchase payment is $25,000.
The minimum subsequent purchase payment we will accept is $1,000. The maximum
total purchase payments which we will accept without prior Company approval is
$1,000,000.
PURCHASE PAYMENT DATE
The purchase payment date is the date on which the purchase payment is credited
to the contract. The initial purchase payment, less any applicable premium
taxes, will be credited to the contract within two business days of receipt of
the purchase payment and the information needed. Subsequent additional purchase
payments will be credited to the contract as of the business day when the
purchase payment and required information are received. A business day is any
date on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Purchase payments may be applied to various Investment Options that we make
available. You must indicate what percent of each purchase payment to allocate
to various Investment Options. Each percent may be either zero or any whole
number, however, the allocation among all accounts must total 100%.
CHANGE OF ALLOCATION
You may change the allocation of purchase payments to various Investment
Options. You must tell us in a notice You sign that gives us the facts that we
need. Purchase payments received after the date on which we receive Your notice
will be applied on the basis of the new allocation.
PREMIUM TAXES
Your state may impose a premium tax. We reserve the right to deduct any
applicable premium taxes. When permitted by state law, we will not deduct the
tax until the Annuity Commencement Date, date of death, or date of full
surrender.

CASH VALUE AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS - cont.
------------------------------------------
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
We will pay You a portion of the Cash Value as a Partial Withdrawal provided we
receive Your written request while the contract is in effect and before the
Annuity Commencement Date. When You request a Partial Withdrawal You must tell
us how it is to be allocated from among the Investment Options. If Your request
for a Partial Withdrawal from any Investment Option is less than or equal to the
Cash Value in that option, we will pay the amount of Your request. However, if
Your request for a Partial Withdrawal from any Investment Option is greater than
the Cash Value in that option, we will pay You the Cash Value of that Investment
Option.
If any Partial Withdrawal reduces the Cash Value below $10,000, we reserve the
right to pay the full Cash Value and terminate the contract.
We may delay payment of the Cash Value from the Fixed Account for up to 6 months
after we receive the request. If the owner dies after we receive the request,
but before the request is processed, the request will be processed before the
death proceeds are determined.
Partial Withdrawals may be made as follows:
LUMP SUM
A minimum Lump Sum of $500 is available anytime.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION
Beginning in the first Contract Year, a Systematic Withdrawal Option (SWO) is
available on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. SWO withdrawals
must be at least $100 and may not exceed 15% of the Account Value at the time a
SWO withdrawal is made divided by the number of withdrawals made per year (e.g.
12 for monthly). Monthly and quarterly withdrawals must be sent through
electronic funds transfer directly to Your checking or savings account. You may
start or stop SWO withdrawals at any time; however, 30 days' written notice is
required to stop SWO withdrawals.
Once You have elected a SWO, You must wait a minimum time before the first SWO
payment: 1 month for a monthly SWO, 3 months for quarterly, 6 months for semi-
annual, or 12 months for annual.
MINIMUM REQUIRED DISTRIBUTION
For tax-qualified plans, Partial Withdrawals taken to satisfy Minimum
Distribution Requirements under Section 401(a) (9) of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) are available. The amount available from this contract with respect to the
Minimum Distribution Requirement is based solely on this contract.
The owner must be at least 70 1/2 years old in the calendar year of Minimum
Required Distribution, must submit a written request to us and must take the
Minimum Required Distribution before year end. If the owner attains age 70 1/2
in the calendar year of Minimum Required Distribution, a written request which
is postmarked no later than the end of the current calendar year must be
submitted to us.
Systematic Minimum Required Distributions must be at least $100 or a lump sum
distribution is available if Minimum Required Distributions are less than $100.
GUARANTEED RETURN OF FIXED ACCOUNT PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Upon full surrender of the contract, You will always receive at least the
purchase payments made to, less prior withdrawals and transfers from, the Fixed
Account.
MINIMUM VALUES
Benefits available under this contract are not less than those required by any
statute of the state in which the contract is delivered.

SECTION 6
----------
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
----------------
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
We have established and will maintain a Separate Account, under the laws of the
state of Iowa. Any realized or unrealized income, net gains and losses from the
assets of a Separate Account are credited to or charged against it without
regard to our other income, gains or losses. Assets are put in a Separate
Account for this contract, as well as for other variable annuity policies. Any
Separate Account may invest assets in shares of one or more mutual fund
portfolios, or in the case of a managed Separate Account, direct investments in
stocks or other securities as permitted by law. Fund Shares refer to shares of
underlying mutual funds or pro rata ownership of the assets held in a Subaccount
of a managed Separate Account. Fund shares are purchased, redeemed and valued on
behalf of a Separate Account.
A Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests
exclusively in shares of one of the portfolios of an underlying mutual fund. We
reserve the right to add or remove any Subaccount of a Separate Account.
The assets of a Separate Account are our property. These assets will equal or
exceed the reserves and other contract liabilities of a Separate Account. These
assets will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business
we conduct. We reserve the right, subject to regulations governing a Separate
Account, to transfer assets of a Subaccount, in excess of the reserves and other
contract liabilities with respect to that Subaccount, to another Subaccount or
to our General Account.
We will determine the fair market value of the assets of a Separate Account in
accordance with a method of valuation that we establish in good faith.
Valuation Period means the period of time from one determination of the value of
each Subaccount to the next. Such determinations are made when the value of the
assets and liabilities of each Subaccount is calculated. This is generally the
close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open.
We also reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account, which we
determine to be associated with the class of policies to which this contract
belongs, to another Separate Account. If this type of transfer is made, the
term "Separate Account", as used in the contract, shall then mean a Separate
Account to which the assets were transferred.
We also reserve the right, when permitted by law to:
(a) deregister a Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(b) manage a Separate Account under the direction of a committee at any time;
(c) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of Contract Owners or other persons
who have voting rights as to a Separate Account; and
(d) combine a Separate Account with one or more other Separate Accounts;
(e) create new Separate Accounts;
(f) add new Subaccounts to or remove existing Subaccounts from a Separate
Account, or combine Subaccounts;
(g) add new underlying mutual funds, remove existing mutual funds, or
substitute a new fund for an existing fund.
The Net Asset Value of a fund share is the per-share value calculated by the
mutual fund or, in the case of a managed Separate Account, by the Company. The
Net Asset Value is computed by adding the value of the Subaccount's investments,
cash and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing by the
number of shares outstanding. Net Asset Values of fund shares reflect
investment advisory fees and other expenses incurred in managing a mutual fund
or a managed Separate Account.
CHANGE IN INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OR POLICY OF A MUTUAL FUND
If required by law or regulation, an investment policy of a Separate Account
will only be changed if approved by the appropriate insurance official of the
state of Iowa or deemed approved in accordance with such law or regulation. If
so required, the process for obtaining such approval is filed with the insurance
official of the state or district in which this contract is delivered.

SECTION 6
----------
SEPARATE ACCOUNT - cont.
------------------------
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
The Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and the Administrative Charge are each
deducted both before and after the Annuity Commencement Date to compensate for
changes in mortality and expenses not anticipated by the mortality and
administration charges guaranteed in the contract.
If the Mortality and Expense Risk Fee is more than sufficient, the Company will
retain the balance as profit or reduce this fee in the future.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
The Account Value in a Separate Account before the Annuity Commencement Date is
represented by accumulation units. The dollar value of accumulation units for
each Subaccount will change from day to day reflecting the investment experience
of the Subaccount.
Purchase Payments allocated to and any amounts transferred to the Subaccounts
will be applied to provide accumulation units in those Subaccounts. The number
of accumulation units purchased in a Subaccount will be determined by dividing
the amount allocated to or transferred to that Subaccount, by the value of an
accumulation unit for that Subaccount on the purchase payment or transfer date.
The number of accumulation units withdrawn or transferred from the Subaccounts
will be determined by dividing the amount withdrawn or transferred by the value
of an accumulation unit for that Subaccount on the withdrawal or transfer date.
The value of an accumulation unit on any business day is determined by
multiplying the value of that unit at the end of the immediately preceding
valuation period by the net investment factor for the valuation period.
The net investment factor used to calculate the value of an accumulation unit in
each Subaccount for the valuation period is determined by dividing (a) by (b)
and subtracting (c) from the result, where:
(a) is the result of:
(1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined
as of the end of the current valuation period; plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
made by the fund for shares held in that Subaccount if the ex-dividend
date occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus
(3) a per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for, which we
determine to have resulted from the investment operations of that
Subaccount.
(b) is the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined
as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
(c) is a factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and
Administrative Charge before the Annuity Commencement Date. This factor is
less than or equal to, on an annual basis, the percentage shown on page 3
of the daily net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount.
Since the net investment factor may be greater or less than one, the
accumulation unit value may increase or decrease.

SECTION 7
----------
FIXED ACCOUNT
-------------
FIXED ACCOUNT
Purchase payments applied to and any amounts transferred to the Fixed Account
will reflect a fixed interest rate. The interest rates we set will be credited
for increments of at least one year measured from each purchase payment or
transfer date. These rates will never be less than an effective annual interest
rate of 3%.
GUARANTEED PERIODS
We will offer a one year Guaranteed Period Option, into which purchase payments
may be paid or amounts transferred. The current interest rate we set for funds
entering the one year Guaranteed Period Option (GPO) is guaranteed for one year.
At that time, the purchase payment made or amount transferred into the GPO, less
any withdrawals or transfers from that GPO, plus interest, will be rolled into a
new one year GPO or may be transferred to any Subaccount(s) within a Separate
Account.
You may choose either the one year GPO or the Investment Option(s) You want the
funds rolled into by giving us a written notice within 30 days before the end of
the expiring option's Guaranteed Period. However, in order to elect the one
year GPO, the Guaranteed Period elected may not extend beyond the maximum
Annuity Commencement Date defined in Section 11. In the absence of such
election, the funds will be rolled into a new one year GPO. You will be mailed
a notice of completion of the rollover with the new interest rate applicable.
The new GPO will be deemed as accepted if we do not receive a written rejection
within 30 days from the postmark of the completion notice.
For purposes of crediting interest when funds are withdrawn from or transferred
into the one year Guaranteed Period Option, the amount of the oldest purchase
payment or rollover into that GPO is considered to be withdrawn first. If the
amount withdrawn exceeds this amount, the next oldest purchase payment or
rollover is considered to be withdrawn next, and so on until the most recent
purchase payment or rollover is considered to be withdrawn (this is a "First-In,
First-Out" or FIFO procedure). Purchase payment(s) or rollover(s) are deemed to
be withdrawn first, then credited interest.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
We may offer a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Fixed Account Option separate from
the Guaranteed Period Option. The current interest rate we set for the DCA Fixed
Account may differ from the rates credited on the one year GPO in the Fixed
Account. In addition, the current interest rate we credit may vary on different
portions of the DCA Fixed Account. The credited interest rate will never be
less than the minimum effective annual interest rate of 3%. The DCA Fixed
Account Option will only be available under a Dollar Cost Averaging program as
described in Section 8.
SECTION 8
---------
TRANSFERS
---------
A. TRANSFERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, You may transfer the value of the
accumulation units from one Investment Option to another. You must sign a
notice to transfer that gives us the facts we need.
The maximum amount that can be transferred prior to the end of the one year GPO
is 25% of that GPO's Account Value, less amounts previously transferred out of
that GPO during the current Contract Year.
Transfers of interest credited in the GPO to other Investment Options are
allowed on a "First in, First-Out" basis. Such transfers may be made monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Each transfer must be at least $500.
Transfers of Account Value from a Separate Account are subject to a minimum of
$500 or the entire Subaccount Value, if less. However, if the remaining
Subaccount Value is less than $500, we reserve the right to include that amount
as part of the transfer. The minimum transfer to an inactive Subaccount is
$500.
You may transfer to the one year GPO, however, the GPO may not extend beyond the
maximum Annuity Commencement Date defined in Section 11.

SECTION 8
---------
TRANSFERS - cont.
-----------------
No transfers will be allowed out of the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account
Option except through the Dollar Cost Averaging Option.
We reserve the right to limit transfers to no more than 18 in any one Contract
Year. Any transfers in excess of 18 per Contract Year may be charged a fee
equal to the lesser of $10 or 2% of the amount of the transfer. Transfers among
multiple Investment Options will be treated as one transfer in determining the
number of transfers that have occurred. We also reserve the right to prohibit
transfers to the Fixed Account if we are crediting an effective annual interest
rate of 3%.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION
Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, You may instruct us to automatically
transfer a specified amount from the Money Market Subaccount or the Dollar Cost
Averaging (DCA) Fixed Account Option to any other Subaccount(s) of a Separate
Account. In order to be eligible for DCA, the Account Value in the account from
which you are transferring must be at least $5,000.
The automatic transfers can occur monthly or quarterly. If the Dollar Cost
Averaging request is received prior to the 28th day of any month, the first
transfer will occur on the 28th day of that month. If the Dollar Cost Averaging
request is received on or after the 28th day of any month, the first transfer
will occur on the 28th day of the following month.
Changes can be made to the Subaccounts to which these transfers are allocated.
Transfers must be scheduled for at least 6, but not more than 24 months or for
at least 4, but not more than 8 quarters each time the Dollar Cost Averaging
program is started or restarted following termination of the program for any
reason.
Dollar Cost Averaging results in the purchase of more accumulation units when
the value of the accumulation unit is low, and fewer accumulation units when the
value of the accumulation unit is high. However, there is no guarantee that the
Dollar Cost Averaging program will result in higher Account Values or will
otherwise be successful.
The Dollar Cost Averaging may be discontinued after satisfying the minimum
number of required transfers by sending written notice to us. While Dollar Cost
Averaging is in effect, Asset Rebalancing is not available.
Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, no transfers, (except through Dollar
Cost Averaging) will be allowed from a DCA Fixed Account. Transfers will
continue until the elected Subaccount or DCA Fixed Account value is depleted.
The amount transferred each time must be at least $500. All transfers from the
DCA Fixed Account will be the same amount as the initial transfer unless
subsequently changed.
Changes to the amount transferred will only be allowed when an additional
purchase payment is allocated or a new amount is transferred into the DCA Fixed
Account.
ASSET REBALANCING
Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, You may instruct us to automatically
transfer amounts among the Subaccounts of a Separate Account on a regular basis
to maintain a desired allocation of the Account Value among the various
Subaccounts offered. Rebalancing will occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-
annual or annual basis, beginning on a date selected. You must select the
percentage of the Account Value desired in each of the various Subaccounts
offered (totaling 100%). Any amounts in the Fixed Account are ignored for the
purposes of asset rebalancing. Rebalancing can be started, stopped or changed
at any time. Asset Rebalancing is not available while Dollar Cost Averaging is
in effect. Rebalancing will cease as soon as we receive a request for any other
transfer.
B. TRANSFERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
After the Annuity Commencement Date, You may transfer the value of the variable
annuity units from one Subaccount to another within a Separate Account or to the
Fixed Account. If You want to transfer the value of the variable annuity units,
You must tell us in a signed notice which gives us the facts that we need. We
reserve the right to limit transfers between the Subaccounts or to the Fixed
Account to once per Contract Year.
The minimum amount which may be transferred is the lesser of $10 monthly income
or the entire monthly income of the variable annuity units in the Subaccount
from which the transfer is being made. If the monthly income of the remaining
units in a Subaccount is less than $10, we have the right to include the value
of those variable annuity units as part of the transfer.
After the Annuity Commencement Date, no transfers may be made from the Fixed
Account to any other Investment Options.

DEATH PROCEEDS
--------------
A.
DEATH PROCEEDS PRIOR TO ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
The amount of death proceeds will be the greater of
(a) or (b) where:
(a) is the Account Value on the date we receive due proof of death and an
election of a method of settlement; and
(b) is the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB), if any, plus any additional
purchase payments received, less any Partial Withdrawals from the date of
death to the date of payment of death proceeds.
If You have not selected a payment option by the date of death, the beneficiary
may make such election within one year of the date we receive due proof of the
owner's or Xxxxxxxxx's death as described in B below. The beneficiary may elect
to receive the death proceeds as a lump sum payment or may use the death
proceeds to provide any of the annuity Payment Options described in Section 10.
Interest on death proceeds will be paid as required by law.
B. DEATH PRIOR TO ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
Death proceeds are payable contingent upon the relationships between the owner,
Xxxxxxxxx, successor owner, and beneficiary as outlined below. The contract must
be surrendered upon settlement or on proof of death.
X. Xxxxxxxxx and owner are the same.
When we have due proof that the owner died before the Annuity Commencement
Date, we will provide the death proceeds to the beneficiary.
a) Beneficiary is the deceased owner's surviving spouse. The beneficiary may
elect to continue this contract as owner and Annuitant rather than
receiving the death proceeds. If the contract is continued, an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, if
any, over the Account Value will then be added to the Account Value. This
is a one-time only Account Value adjustment applied at the time the
contract is continued. The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit will continue
on as applicable.
If this beneficiary elects to have the death proceeds paid, the death proceeds
must be distributed:
(1) by the end of 5 years after the date of the deceased owner's death, or
(2) payments must begin no later than one year after the deceased owner's
death and must be made for a period certain or for this beneficiary's
lifetime, so long as any period certain does not exceed this
beneficiary's life expectancy.
b) Beneficiary is not the deceased owner's surviving spouse. The death
proceeds must be distributed as provided in I.a)(1) or I.a)(2) above.
c) Death proceeds which are not paid to or for the benefit of a natural person
must be distributed by the end of 5 years after the date of the deceased
owner's death .
II. Xxxxxxxxx and owner are different and the Annuitant dies.
When we have due proof that the Annuitant died prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date, the owner will become the new Annuitant and no death
proceeds are payable. If the owner is also the deceased Xxxxxxxxx's surviving
spouse and the contract is continued, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, if any, over the Account Value will then
be added to the Account Value. This is a one-time only Account Value adjustment
applied at the time the contract is continued. The Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit will continue on as applicable.
However, in lieu of becoming the new Annuitant, the owner may elect to have the
death proceeds distributed to the Annuitant's beneficiary on the death of the
Annuitant. This election must be in writing and must be received by us prior to
the Annuitant's death. In such case, when we have due proof that the Annuitant
died prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, we will provide the death proceeds
to the Annuitant's beneficiary.
a) If the owner has elected to have the death proceeds paid as a lump sum,
the beneficiary must, within 60 days of our receipt of due proof of the
Annuitant's death, either:
1) receive the lump sum proceeds; or
L950

SECTION 9
----------
DEATH PROCEEDS - cont.
----------------------
2) elect to receive annuity payments. Such payments must begin
within one year of our receipt of due proof of the Annuitant's
death and must be made for a period certain or for this
beneficiary's lifetime, so long as any period certain does not
exceed this beneficiary's life expectancy.
b) Death proceeds which are not paid to or for the benefit of a natural
person must be distributed by the end of 5 years after the date of the
Annuitant's death.
III. Annuitant and owner are different and the owner dies.
If the owner dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and before the
entire interest in the contract is distributed, the successor owner will
become the new owner. The remaining portion of any interest in the contract
must be distributed to the extent provided below in III.a), III.b), III.c),
or III.d).
a) Successor owner is the deceased owner's surviving spouse. The successor
owner may elect to continue this contract rather than receive the
Account Value. If the successor owner elects to receive the Account
Value, the Account Value must be distributed:
1) by the end of 5 years after the date of the deceased owner's death,
or
2) payments must begin no later than one year after the deceased
owner's death and must be made for a period certain or for the
successor owner's lifetime, so long as any period certain does not
exceed the successor owner's life expectancy.
b) Successor owner is not the deceased owner's surviving spouse. The
Account Value must be distributed as provided in III.a)(1) or III.a)(2)
above.
c) Successor owner is not a natural person. The Account Value must be
distributed as provided in III.a)(1) above.
d) No successor owner survives the deceased owner. The deceased owner's
estate will become the new owner (or the estate may name a new owner).
The Executor or Administrator must be named in a form acceptable to us.
The Account Value must be distributed by the end of 5 years after the
date of the deceased owner's death.
IV. More than one Owner.
If there is more than one owner, then the death of any owner will be treated the
same as the death of the owner.
C. DEATH ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
The death proceeds on or after the Annuity Commencement Date depend on the
payment option selected. If any owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement
Date, but before the entire interest in the contract is distributed, the
remaining portion of such interest in the contract will be distributed to the
beneficiary at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used
as of the date of that owner's death.
D. AN OWNER IS NOT AN INDIVIDUAL
In the case of a non tax-qualified annuity, if any owner or beneficial owner is
not an individual, then for purposes of the federal income tax mandatory
distribution provisions in subsection B or C above, (1) the primary Annuitant
will be treated as the owner of the contract, and (2) if there is any change in
the primary Annuitant, such a change will be treated as the death of the owner.

make annuity payments to the Payee under Option 3 and/or 3-V, respectively, with
10 years certain, or if elected, under one or more of the other options
described in this section. However, the option(s) elected must provide for
lifetime income or income for a period of at least 60 months. You will become
the Annuitant at the Annuity Commencement Date. Payments will be made at 1, 3, 6
or 12 month intervals. We reserve the right to change the frequency of payments
to avoid making payments of less than $50.00
Before the Annuity Commencement Date, if the death proceeds become payable or if
You surrender this contract, we will pay any proceeds in one sum, or if elected,
all or part of these proceeds may be placed under one or more of the options
described in this section. If we agree, the proceeds may be placed under some
other method of payment instead.
Adjusted Age
Payments under Options 3 and 5 and the first payment under Options 3-V and 5-V
are determined based on the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The adjusted age is
the Annuitant's actual age on the Annuitant's nearest birthday, at the Annuity
Commencement Date, adjusted as follows:
Annuity
Commencement Date Adjusted Age
----------------- ------------
Before 2010 Actual Age
2010 - 2019 Actual Age minus 1
2020 - 2026 Actual Age minus 2
2027 - 2033 Actual Age minus 3
2034 - 2040 Actual Age minus 4
After 2040 Determined by us
This adjustment assumes an increase in life expectancy, and therefore it results
in lower payments than without such an adjustment.
Election of Optional Method of Payment
Before the Annuity Commencement Date You can elect or change a payment option.
You may elect, in a notice You sign which gives us the facts that we need,
annuity payments that may be either variable, fixed, or a combination of both.
If You elect a combination, You must also tell us what part of the contract
proceeds on the Annuity Commencement Date are to be applied to provide each type
of payment. (You must also specify which Subaccounts.) The amount of a combined
payment will be the sum of the variable and fixed payments. Payments under a
variable payment option will reflect the investment performance of the selected
Subaccount of a Separate Account.
Payee
Unless You specify otherwise, the Payee shall be the Annuitant, or the
beneficiary as defined in the Beneficiary provision in Section 11.
Proof of Age
We may require proof of the age of any person who has an annuity purchased under
Options 3, 3-V, 5 and 5 -V of this section before we make the first payment.
Minimum Proceeds
If the proceeds are less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay them out as a
lump sum instead of applying them to a payment option.
Premium Tax
We may be required by law to pay premium tax on the amount applied to a payment
option. If so, we will deduct the premium tax before applying the proceeds.
Supplementary Contract
Once proceeds become payable and a payment option has been selected, this
contract will terminate and we will issue a supplementary contract to reflect
the terms of the selected option. The contract will name the Payee(s) and will
describe the payment schedule.

ANNUITY PAYMENTS - cont.
-------------------------
B. FIXED ACCOUNT PAYMENTS
Guaranteed Payment Options
The fixed account payment is determined by multiplying each $1,000 of contract
proceeds allocated to a fixed payment option by the amounts shown on page 15 for
the option You select. Options 1, 2 and 4 are based on a guaranteed interest
rate of 3%.
Options 3 and 5 are based on a guaranteed interest rate of 3%, and the Annuity
2000 (male, female, and unisex if required by law) mortality table projected for
improvement using projection scale G, assuming an annuity commencement date of
2005.
Option 1 - Interest Payments
We will pay the interest on the amount we use to provide annuity payments in
equal payments or this amount may be left to accumulate for a period of time we
and You agree to. We and You will agree on withdrawal rights when You elect this
option. The interest rate we declare for this option may be different than the
interest rate(s) credited prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.
Option 2 - Income for a Specified Period
We will make level payments only for the fixed period You choose. In the event
of the death of the person receiving payments prior to the end of the fixed
period elected, payments will be continued to that person's beneficiary or their
present value may be paid in a single sum. No funds will remain at the end.
Option 3 - Life Income - You may choose between:
1. "No Period Certain" - We will make level payments only during the Annuitant's
lifetime.
2. "10 Years Certain" - We will make level payments for the longer of the
Annuitant's lifetime or ten years.
3. "Guaranteed Return of Contract Proceeds" - We will make level payments for
the longer of the Annuitant's lifetime or until the total dollar amount of
payments we made to You equals the amount applied to this option.
Option 4 - Income of a Specified Amount
Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this
option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be a series of level payments
followed by a smaller final payment. In the event of the death of the person
receiving payments prior to the time proceeds with interest are exhausted,
payments will be continued to that person's beneficiary or their present value
may be paid in a single sum.
Option 5 - Joint and Survivor Annuity
Payments are made during the joint lifetime of the Payee and a joint Payee of
Your selection. Payments will be made as long as either person is living.
Current Payment Options
The amounts shown in the tables on page 17 are the guaranteed amounts. Current
amounts offered to individuals of the same class may be obtained from us.
C. VARIABLE ACCOUNT PAYMENT OPTIONS
Variable Annuity Units
The contract proceeds You tell us to apply to a variable payment option will be
used to purchase variable annuity units in Your chosen Subaccounts. The dollar
value of variable annuity units in Your chosen Subaccounts will increase or
decrease reflecting the investment experience of Your chosen Subaccounts.
The value of a variable annuity unit in a particular Subaccount on any business
day is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c), where:
(a) is the variable annuity unit value for that Subaccount on the immediately
preceding business day;
(b) is the net investment factor for that Subaccount for the Valuation Period;
and
(c) is the Assumed Investment Return adjustment factor for the Valuation Period.
The Assumed Investment Return adjustment factor for the valuation period is the
product of discount factors of .99986634 per day to recognize the 5.0% effective
annual Assumed Investment Return.

SECTION 10
-----------
ANNUITY PAYMENTS - cont.
------------------------
The net investment factor used to calculate the value of a variable annuity unit
in each Subaccount for the Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b)
and subtracting (c) from the result, where:
(a) is the net result of:
(1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined
as of the end of the current valuation period; plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain Distributions made
by the fund for shares held in that Subaccount if the ex-dividend date
occurs during the Valuation Period; plus or minus
(3) a per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for, which we
determine to have resulted from the investment operations of the
Subaccount.
(b) is the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined
as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period.
(c) is a factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and
Administrative Charge applicable after the Annuity Commencement Date. This
factor is less than or equal to, on an annual basis, the percentage shown
on page 3 of the daily net asset value of a fund share held in the Separate
Account for that Subaccount.
Determination of the First Variable Payment
The amount of the first variable payment is determined by multiplying each
$1,000 of contract proceeds allocated to a variable payment option by the
amounts shown on page 20 for the variable option You select. Options 3-V and 5-V
are based on a 5% effective annual Assumed Investment
Return and the Annuity 2000 (male, female, and unisex if required by law)
mortality table projected for improvement using projection scale G assuming an
annuity commencement date of 2005.
Option 3-V - Life Income
An election may be made between:
1. "No Period Certain" - Payments will be made during the lifetime of the
Annuitant.
2. "10 Years Certain" - Payments will be made for the longer of the Annuitant's
lifetime or ten years. In the event of the death of the person receiving
payments prior to the end of the guarantee period for which the election was
made, payments will be continued to that person's beneficiary or their
present value may be paid in a single sum.
Option 5-V - Joint and Survivor Annuity
Payments are made as long as either the Annuitant or the joint Annuitant is
living.
Determination of Subsequent Variable Payments
The amount of each variable annuity payment after the first will increase or
decrease according to the value of the variable annuity units which reflect the
investment experience of the selected Subaccounts.
Each variable annuity payment after the first will be equal to the number of
variable annuity units in the selected Subaccounts multiplied by the variable
annuity unit value on the date the payment is made. The number of variable
annuity units in each selected Subaccount is determined by dividing the first
variable annuity payment allocated to the Subaccount by the variable annuity
unit value of that Subaccount on the Annuity Commencement Date.

SECTION 11

GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
THE CONTRACT
The entire contract consists of this contract, riders, endorsements, if any, and
the application, or information provided in lieu thereof, signed by You.
MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT
No change in this contract is valid unless made in writing by us and approved by
one of our officers. No Registered Representative has authority to change or
waive any provision of Your contract.
TAX QUALIFICATION
This contract is intended to qualify as an annuity contract for federal income
tax purposes. The provisions of this contract are to be interpreted to maintain
such qualification, notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary. To
maintain such tax qualification, we reserve the right to amend this contract to
reflect any clarifications that may be needed or are appropriate to maintain
such tax qualification or to conform this contract to any applicable changes in
the tax qualification requirements. We will send You a copy in the event of any
such amendment. If You refuse such an amendment it must be by giving us written
notice, and Your refusal may result in adverse tax consequences.
NON-PARTICIPATING
This contract will not share in our surplus earnings.
AGE OR SEX CORRECTIONS
If the age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the benefits will be
those which the purchase payments paid would have purchased for the correct age
and sex. If required by law to ignore differences in the sex of the Annuitant,
the annuity payments will be determined using the unisex factors in Section 10.
Any underpayment made by us will be paid with the next payment. Any overpayment
made by us will be deducted from future payments. Any underpayment
or overpayment, will include interest at 5% per year, from the date of the wrong
payment to the date of the adjustment.
INCONTESTABILITY
This contract shall be incontestable from the Contract Date.
EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL
We have the right to require satisfactory evidence that a person was alive if a
payment was based on that person being alive. No payment will be made until we
receive the evidence.
SETTLEMENT
Any payment by us under this contract is payable at our Service Office.
RIGHTS OF OWNER
The owner may, while the Annuitant is living:
1. Assign this contract.
2. Surrender the contract to us.
3. Amend or modify the contract with our consent.
4. Receive annuity payments or name a Payee to receive the payments,
5. Exercise, receive and enjoy every other right and benefit contained in the
contract.
The use of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or
irrevocable beneficiary; and of the spouse in a community or marital property
state.
Unless we have been notified of a community or marital property interest in this
contract, we will rely on our good faith belief that no such interest exists and
will assume no responsibility for inquiry.
SUCCESSOR OWNER
A Successor Owner can be named in the application, or information provided in
lieu thereof, or in a notice You sign that gives us the facts we need. The
Successor Owner will become the new owner when You die, if You die before the
Annuitant. If no Successor Owner survives You and You die before the Annuitant,
Your estate will become the new owner.

SECTION 11
-----------
GENERAL PROVISIONS - cont.
--------------------------
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
In the case of a non-tax qualified annuity, You can change the owner of this
contract, from yourself to a new owner, in a notice You sign which gives us the
facts that we need. When this change takes effect, all rights of ownership in
this contract will pass to the new owner.
A change of owner or successor owner will not be effective until it is recorded
in our records. After it has been so recorded, the change will take effect as
of the date You signed the notice. However, if the Annuitant dies before the
notice has been so recorded, it will not be effective as to those proceeds we
have paid before the change was recorded in our records.
We may require that the change be endorsed in the contract. Changing the owner
or naming a new successor owner cancels any prior choice of successor owner, but
does not change the beneficiary or the Annuitant.
A change of ownership may result in adverse tax consequences.
ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
The date upon which annuity payments are to begin. This date may be any date at
least thirty days after the Contract Date and may be the latter of the last day
of the contract month starting after the Annuitant attains age 100 or 10 years
from the Contract Date, except as expressly allowed by Transamerica.
ASSIGNMENT
(a) In the case of a non tax-qualified annuity, this Contract may be assigned.
The assignment must be in writing and filed with us.
(b) We assume no responsibility for the validity of any assignment. Any claim
made under an assignment shall be subject to proof of interest and the
extent of the assignment.
(c) This contract may be applied for and issued to qualify as a tax-qualified
annuity under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. Ownership of
this contract is then restricted so that it will comply with provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code.
Assignment of this contract may result in adverse tax consequences.
BENEFICIARY
Death proceeds, when payable in accordance with Section 9, are payable to the
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. Such beneficiary(ies) must be named in
the application, or information provided in lieu thereof, and may be changed
without consent (unless irrevocably designated or required by law) by notifying
us in writing on a form acceptable to us. The change will take effect upon the
date You sign it, whether or not You are living when we receive it. The notice
must have been postmarked (or show other evidence of delivery that is acceptable
to us) on or before the date of death. Your most recent change of beneficiary
notice will replace any prior beneficiary designations. No change will apply to
any payment we made before the written notice was received. If an irrevocable
beneficiary dies, You may designate a new beneficiary.
You may direct that the beneficiary shall not have the right to withdraw, assign
or commute any sum payable under an option. In the absence of such election or
direction, the beneficiary may change the manner of payment or make an election
of any option.
If any primary or contingent beneficiary dies before the Annuitant, that
beneficiary's interest in this contract ends with that beneficiary's death.
Only those beneficiaries living at the time of the Annuitant's death will be
eligible to receive their share of the Death Proceeds. In the event no
contingent beneficiaries have been named and all primary beneficiaries have died
before the death proceeds become payable, the owner(s) will become the
beneficiary(ies) unless elected otherwise in accordance with Section 9. If both
primary and contingent beneficiaries have been named, payment will be made to
the named primary beneficiaries living at the time the death proceeds become
payable. If there is more than one beneficiary and You failed to specify their
interest, they will share equally. Payment will be made to the named contingent
beneficiary(ies) only, if all primary beneficiaries have died before the death
proceeds become payable. If any primary beneficiary is alive at the time the
death proceeds become payable, but dies before receiving their payment, their
share will be paid to their estate.
In cases where the Annuitant dies and the owner (who is not the Annuitant)
elected to receive the death benefit in accordance with Section 9, if the
Annuitant's estate has been named as beneficiary, then payment will be made to
the owner.

SECTION 11
-----------
GENERAL PROVISIONS - cont.
--------------------------
PROTECTION OF PROCEEDS
Unless You so direct, by filing written notice with us, no beneficiary may
assign any payments under this contract before the same are due. To the extent
permitted by law, no payments under this contract will be subject to the claims
of creditors of any beneficiary.
DEFERMENT
We will pay any Partial Withdrawals or Surrender proceeds from a Separate
Account within 7 days after we receive all requirements that we need. However,
it may happen that the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (other than
the usual weekend or holiday closings), or the Securities and Exchange
Commission restricts trading or determines that an emergency exists. If so, it
may not be practical for us to determine the investment experience of a Separate
Account. In that case, we may defer transfers among the Subaccounts and to the
Fixed Account, and determination or payment of Partial Withdrawals or Surrender
proceeds.
When permitted by law, we may defer paying any Partial Withdrawals or Surrender
proceeds from the Fixed Account for up to 6 months from the date we receive Your
request. If the owner dies after the request is received, but before the
request is processed, the request will be processed before the death proceeds
are determined. Interest will be paid on any amount deferred for 30 days or
more. This rate will be 3% per year unless otherwise required by law.
REPORTS TO OWNER
We will give You an annual report at least once each Contract Year. This report
will show the number and value of the accumulation units held in each of the
Subaccounts as well as the value of the Fixed Account. It will also give You
the Death Benefit, Cash Value, and any other facts required by law or
regulation.
