READ YOUR CONTRACT CAREFULLY

 

This is a legal contract between you (the “Owner”) and Pacific Life & Annuity Company, a stock life insurance company.

 

We agree to pay the benefits provided under this Contract, subject to its provisions. We have issued this Contract in consideration of the Application and payment of the Purchase Payments received.

 

BENEFITS AND VALUES PROVIDED UNDER THE INDEX-LINKED OPTIONS ARE VARIABLE, MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE, MAY BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED AS TO A FIXED DOLLAR AMOUNT. Index-linked Option CREDIT, IF ANY, is credited on the Contract Anniversary at the end of the Index term, which may be other than annually. SIMILARLY, ANY PROTECTION LEVEL APPLIED TO NEGATIVE RETURNS IS APPLIED AT THE END OF A TERM.

 

THE INDEX RETURN MAY BE POSITIVE, NEGATIVE OR ZERO AND INVESTMENT IN THIS CONTRACT MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF PRINCIPAL. IN SOME INSTANCES, THE POTENTIAL INVESTMENT LOSS FOR THIS PRODUCT MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN THE POTENTIAL INVESTMENT GAIN.

 

THERE IS A RISK OF LOSS AND THE LOSS MAY BE GREATER IF WITHDRAWAL, DISTRIBUTION (INCLUDING ONGOING DISTRIBUTIONS), DEATH, ANNUITIZATION, OR SURRENDER OCCURS BEFORE THE END OF AN INDEX TERM. GAINS MAY BE LIMITED AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED. THE INTERIM VALUE MAY REFLECT A NEGATIVE RETURN EVEN IF THE INDEX RETURN IS POSITIVE OR INCREASES, MAY REFLECT A POSITIVE RETURN EVEN IF THE INDEX DECREASES, AND MAY BE LOWER THAN THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE AT THE END OF THE INDEX TERM. WHILE THE INDEX-LINKED OPTION VALUES ARE AFFECTED BY AN EXTERNAL INDEX, THE CONTRACT DOES NOT DIRECTLY PARTICIPATE IN ANY STOCK OR EQUITY INVESTMENTS. THE DETAILS OF THE INDEX-LINKED OPTIONS APPEAR IN THE RIDER(S) ADDED TO THIS CONTRACT.

 

THERE IS A WITHDRAWAL CHARGE APPLICABLE TO YOUR CONTRACT. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS PAGE AND THE CHARGES, FEES, AND DEDUCTIONS PROVISIONS CAREFULLY.

 

ANY WITHDRAWALS OR DISTRIBUTIONS TAKEN BEFORE THE END OF A TERM WILL BE SUBJECT TO AN INTERIM VALUE ADJUSTMENT.

 

 

Right to Cancel –You may return this Contract within ten (10) days, or sixty (60) days if a replacement, of receipt. To do so, send it to us or to the Financial Professional who sold it to you. No Withdrawal Charge will be imposed, and we will refund the Contract Value as of the date of surrender when the returned Contract is delivered to us, including any fees or charges for applicable taxes that were deducted from the Contract Value.

 

 

Signed for the Company at Newport Beach, California, to be effective as of the Contract Date.

Index-Linked Option – An Interest Crediting Option to which Purchase Payments and Transfers may be allocated. Each Index-Linked Option varies by Crediting Strategy, Protection Level, Index, and Index Term where applicable. The Index-Linked Options available under the Contract are added by Riders attached to this Contract and are listed in the Contract Specifications. We may cease to offer a specific Index-Linked Option or cease to accept Transfers to a specific Index-Linked Option at any time; and will notify you in writing (see Index Discontinuation in General Provisions section). Allocation of each Subsequent Purchase Payment after the Contract Date results in a separate Index-Linked Option segment that has its own Index Term, with an Index Term Start Date as of the date that each Subsequent Purchase Payment is received and the same Index Term End Date as if the allocation had occurred on the Contract Date.

 

Index-Linked Option Credit – The amount of interest credited to an Index-Linked Option. The amount may be positive, negative or equal to zero. On the Index Term End Date, we will calculate the Index-Linked Option Credit that will be credited to the Index-Linked Option.

 

Index Term – A period used to measure the change in Index prices for each Index-Linked Option. On the Index Term End Date, we credit Index-Linked Option Credit. The initial Index Term for an Index-Linked Option begins on the Contract Date, or in the case of a subsequent additional Purchase Payment, the date each Purchase Payment was applied to the Contract. Subsequent Index Terms begin on a Contract Anniversary after the end of the prior Index Term. The duration of each Index-Linked Option’s Index Term is shown in the Rider(s). The Index Term ends on a Contract Anniversary.

 

Interest Crediting Option(s) – The Fixed Account Option or any Index-Linked Options offered under the Contract by Rider.

 

Interim Value – The value of an Index-Linked Option in which you invest on any date other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. The Interim Value (as described in each Index-Linked Option Rider) is calculated separately for each Index-Linked Option to reflect a fair value of the Index-Linked Option Value. The Interim Value is used when a partial or full Withdrawal, Death Benefit payment, or Annuitization occurs between an Index Term Start Date and the Index Term End Date.

 

Non-Natural Owner – A corporation or other entity with Ownership rights under this Contract.

 

Notice Date – The day we receive Proof of Death and instructions for the Death Benefit payment.

 

Owner and Joint Owner – The person(s) or entity with all rights to this Contract. If Joint Owners are named, all references to Owner means both Owners.

 

Pro-Rata Reduction – The reduction percentage that is calculated at the time of a Withdrawal by dividing the amount of each Withdrawal (including any applicable taxes or Withdrawal Charges) by the Contract Value immediately prior to the Withdrawal.

 

Protection Level The Protection Level provides limited protection to your Index-Linked Option Value against negative Index returns.

 

Purchase Payment(s) – The amount of money paid to fund the Contract. The Initial Purchase Payment and any Subsequent Purchase Payments are Purchase Payments.

The aggregate Purchase Payments are based on all the Contracts for which you are either Owner and/or Annuitant.

 

Purchase Payment Allocation – You may allocate all or part of your Purchase Payments to one or more of the Interest Crediting Options available under this Contract or by Rider or Endorsement. Each Subsequent Purchase Payment will be allocated according to the same allocation as the Initial Purchase Payment. Each Subsequent Purchase Payment allocated to an Index-Linked Option has separate Index-Linked Option Values from allocations of the Initial Purchase Payment and any other Subsequent Purchase Payment.

 

FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION INTEREST CREDITING AND NONFORFEITURE
PROVISIONS

 

Interest Rate – The rate at which interest will be credited to the Fixed Account Option. The initial Interest Rate is shown in the Contract Specifications.

 

On each Contract Anniversary, we will declare the renewal Interest Rates that will be credited to the Fixed Account Option throughout the year. These renewal Interest Rates may vary on each Contract Anniversary and will never be less than the Nonforfeiture Rate. Each rate will be guaranteed for one Contract Year and be effective on the Contract Anniversary.

 

Crediting Interest – Interest will be credited daily to the Fixed Account Option. We will stop crediting interest on that portion of the Fixed Account Option Value that is transferred, withdrawn, or applied to provide annuity payments, including any:

·Withdrawal Charge, if applicable; and
·Charges for Premium Taxes and/or other taxes.

 

Nonforfeiture Rate – The Initial Nonforfeiture Rate is set on the Contract Date and is guaranteed for the length of the Withdrawal Charge Period. After the Withdrawal Charge Period the Nonforfeiture Rate will be redetermined annually. The redetermined Nonforfeiture Rate will be equal to the applicable Nonforfeiture Rate that is effective on the Contract Anniversary at the time of redetermination. The Nonforfeiture Rate is redetermined annually as described below.

 

The applicable Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate for the Fixed Account Option is determined annually and becomes effective on the first day of September of each Calendar Year. The basis for calculating the rate is the average daily value of the five-year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate during the month of June preceding the effective date, rounded to the nearest 0.05%, and reduced by 1.25%. This rate will always be greater than or equal to 1.00% and will not exceed 3.00%.

 

CONTRACT VALUE PROVISIONS

 

Contract Value – The Contract Value as of the end of any Business Day is the sum of:

·The Fixed Account Option Value; and
·The Index-Linked Option Values.

 

We determine values on each Business Day.

 

Fixed Account Option Value – The Fixed Account Option Value on any day is the Fixed Account Option Value as of the prior day, increased by any additions to the Fixed Account Option on that day as a result of any:

·Crediting Interest;
·Purchase Payments received by us and allocated to the Fixed Account Option; and
·Transfers allocated to the Fixed Account Option;

 

7

 

 

and decreased by any deductions from the Fixed Account Option on that day as a result of any:

·Transfers from the Fixed Account Option;
·Withdrawals, including any applicable Withdrawal Charge; and
·Charges for Premium Taxes and/or other taxes.

 

Index-Linked Option Value – The Index-Linked Option Value for an Index-Linked Option on any day is determined in accordance with its respective Index-Linked Option Rider.

 

CHARGES, FEES, AND DEDUCTIONS PROVISIONS

 

Premium Taxes – From the Contract Value, we will deduct a charge for any taxes we pay that are attributable to Purchase Payments or Withdrawals. We will normally deduct this charge upon annuitization. However, we may impose this charge on any Withdrawal, at the time any Death Benefit is paid, when the taxes are incurred or when we pay the taxes. We will base this charge on the Contract Value, the amount of the transaction, the aggregate amount of Purchase Payments we receive under the Contract; or any other amount needed to reimburse us for Premium Taxes paid on this Contract.

 

Withdrawal Charge – Withdrawals from the Contract Value are subject to a Withdrawal Charge, if applicable. This charge may apply to amounts withdrawn under the Contract prior to the Annuity Date, depending on which Contract Year the Withdrawal is made in.

 

We will not apply the Withdrawal Charge on:

·Withdrawals as defined under the “Free Withdrawals” section;
·Distributions resulting from the death of the first Owner;
·Annuitization after the first Contract Year, if the Contract is annuitized with us;
·Approved requests under a Nursing Home Confinement Waiver; or
·Approved requests under a Terminal Illness Waiver. A request to waive the Withdrawal Charge must include proof of terminal illness diagnosis (defined as a certification from a licensed member of the medical profession).

 

A request to waive the Withdrawal Charge must be in writing. If the request to waive the Withdrawal Charge is denied by us, the Withdrawal request shall not be processed until the Owner is notified of the denial and provided with the opportunity to accept or reject the Withdrawal request, including any Withdrawal Charges.

 

Amount of Withdrawal Charge – The amount depends on how long the Purchase Payments are held under this Contract. Each Purchase Payment you make is considered to have an “age,” determined by the length of time since the Business Day that Purchase Payment was effective.

 

A Purchase Payment is “age one” from the Business Day it was effective until the next Contract Anniversary and increases in “age” on that and each succeeding Contract Anniversary. When you withdraw an amount, the “age” of any Purchase Payment you withdraw determines the Withdrawal Charge Percentage.

 

The Withdrawal Charge is equal to a percentage of the amount withdrawn in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount based on the year of Withdrawal. The Withdrawal Charge will be deducted proportionately from each Interest Crediting Option selected for Withdrawal.

 

TRANSFER PROVISIONS

 

Transfer(s) – You may, on or before the Annuity Date and subject to the requirements and restrictions described in this section, Transfer the value in any Interest Crediting Option among other currently available Interest Crediting Options, while the Contract is active.

 

Transfers between any Interest Crediting Option must take place on a Contract Anniversary. The following conditions also apply to these Transfers:

·Transfers into or out of available Interest Crediting Options are only permitted at the end of a corresponding Index Term or Fixed Account term.

 

Transfers between the Interest Crediting Options will be effective on the Contract Anniversary, provided the Transfer request is received in Good Order at our Service Center by market close on the Contract Anniversary.

 

8

 

 

Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will automatically Transfer the Index-Linked Option Value of an expiring Index Term into a new Index Term under the same Index-Linked Option.

 

If the same Index-Linked Option is not available, the Index-Linked Option Value will be transferred to the Fixed Account Option.

 

At the end of a 6-year Index Term, if you do not provide instructions to Transfer into an available 1-year Index-Linked Option or Fixed Account Option, the Index-Linked Option Value will be transferred to the corresponding 1-year Index-Linked Option. If the corresponding 1-year Index-Linked Option is not available, then the Index-Linked Option Value will be transferred to the Fixed Account Option.

 

WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

 

Withdrawal(s) – On or before the Annuity Date you may, subject to the requirements and restrictions described in this section, withdraw all or a portion of the Contract Value, while the Owner, or Annuitant in the case of a Non-Natural Owner, is living and the Contract is active.

 

You may specify that the Withdrawal be taken from a specific Interest Crediting Option(s) or proportionally from all Interest Crediting Options. If your request does not specify the Interest Crediting Option(s) from which the Withdrawal is to be made, the Withdrawal will be taken pro-rata from all Interest Crediting Options relative to the Contract Value in each option. Withdrawals from an Index-Linked Option into which the Initial Purchase Payment and/or Subsequent Purchase Payments have been allocated, will be processed on a first in first out basis. Note that no Index-Linked Option Credit will be earned or credited on Withdrawals prior to the end of an Index Term.

 

Minimum Withdrawal Amount – The minimum amounts that may be withdrawn from your Contract are shown in the Contract Specifications.

 

If any Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value to an amount less than or equal to the Minimum Contract Value to Avoid Contract Termination, shown in the Contract Specifications and no Purchase Payments have been made for a period of three full years, we may terminate the Contract and pay you the Withdrawal proceeds (see Full Withdrawal provision).

 

Amount Available for Withdrawal – The Amount Available for Withdrawal is the Contract Value as of the end of the day on which the Withdrawal request is effective, less any applicable:

·Withdrawal Charge; and
·Charges for Premium Taxes and/or other taxes .

 

The amount we send you (the "Withdrawal proceeds") will also reflect any required or requested federal and/or state income tax withholding.

 

Nursing Home Confinement Waiver – Allows for a waiver of Withdrawal Charges after ninety (90) days from the Contract Date if the Owner, or Annuitant in the case of a Non-Natural Owner, has been confined to an accredited nursing home for thirty (30) days or more and was not confined to a nursing home on the Contract Date. An accredited nursing home is a nursing home located in the United States   that (i) is licensed by and   operating in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where it is located, (ii) is primarily engaged in providing, in addition to room and board, skilled nursing care under the supervision of a duly licensed physician, and (iii) provides continuous 24-hour-a-day nursing services by or under the supervision of a registered nurse and maintains a daily record of the patient. The eligibility date to elect the waiver is shown in the Contract Specifications. See the Withdrawal Charge provision for instructions on exercising the waiver.

 

Terminal Illness Waiver – Allows for a waiver of Withdrawal Charges after the first Contract Anniversary, if the Owner, or Annuitant in the case of a Non-Natural Owner, has been diagnosed on or after the Contract Date as having a terminal illness (defined as a medically determinable condition that results in a life expectancy of twelve (12) months or less) and we are provided with proof of such diagnosis. The eligibility date to elect the waiver is shown in the Contract Specifications. See Withdrawal Charge provision for instructions on exercising the waiver.    

 

9

 

 

Free Withdrawals (“Free Withdrawal Amount”) – During a Contract Year, you may withdraw free of Withdrawal Charge, the Free Withdrawal Amount.

 

The Free Withdrawal Amount each Contract Year during the Withdrawal Charge Period is the Free Withdrawal Percentage multiplied by your Total Purchase Payments. The Free Withdrawal Amount is calculated at the start of each Contract Year and is reduced by any Withdrawals made during the Contract Year.

 

Any portion of the Free Withdrawal Amount not withdrawn during a Contract Year may not be carried over to the next Contract Year.

 

Full Withdrawal – You may, on or before the Annuity Date, make a Full Withdrawal under this Contract for its Withdrawal proceeds, while the Owner or Annuitant in the case of a Non-Natural Owner, is living and the Contract is active. A Full Withdrawal will terminate the Contract, and we will have no further obligations under the Contract.

 

BENEFICIARY PROVISIONS

 

Designation of Beneficiary – The person(s) or entity(ies) you name who may receive Death Benefit proceeds, or remaining annuity payments after the Annuity Date, according to the Line of Succession outlined under the Death Benefit Provisions. You may name multiple Beneficiaries who will share the Death Benefit Amount (or any remaining annuity payments). If any Beneficiary pre-deceases the Annuitant or Owner, that Beneficiary's portion will go to the other named Beneficiaries, according to their respective interests, unless otherwise specified by you. If the Beneficiary is a trust, we will not be responsible for verifying the trustee’s authority under the trust or for how the trustee disposes of any Death Benefit Amount. If we receive proper notice that the trust is not in effect prior to the Death Benefit payment, then the Death Benefit Amount will be paid to the Contingent Beneficiary, if living; if not, to the Owner’s estate.

 

Change of Beneficiary – You may change Beneficiaries subject to the terms of any Assignment, at any time prior to the death of the Annuitant or Owner, by submitting a request to us. Unless otherwise specified by you, any Beneficiary change will take effect on the date the change request is signed by you, subject to any payments made or actions taken by us prior to receipt of the notice.

 

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS

 

DEFINITION OF TERMS

 

Add-In Amount – The amount added by us, if applicable, to the Contract Value on the Notice Date to set the Contract Value equal to the Death Benefit proceeds that would have been payable to the Spouse as the deemed designated recipient of the Death Benefit.

 

Total Adjusted Purchase Payments – The sum of all Purchase Payments made to the Contract, reduced by a Pro-Rata Reduction for each prior Withdrawal. This amount may be adjusted if there is a change of Owner.

 

DEATH OF FIRST OWNER (OR FIRST ANNUITANT IF NON-NATURAL OWNER) BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE

 

Death Benefit Amount – The Death Benefit Amount depends upon the Age of the Owner (or Annuitant if Non-Natural Owner) on the Contract Date, as follows:

 

If the oldest Owner’s Age (or oldest Annuitant’s Age if Non-Natural Owner) on the Contract Date is Age 80 or younger, the Death Benefit Amount as of any day prior to the Annuity Date is equal to the greater of:

1.The Contract Value as of the Notice Date; or
2.The Total Adjusted Purchase Payments as of the Notice Date.

 

10

 

 

Change of Owner – If there is a change of Owner:

·To someone other than the Owner’s Spouse; or
·To a Trust or Non-Natural Entity where the Owner and Annuitant are not the same person prior to the change; or

 

·If an Owner is added that is not a Spouse of the Owner, the Total Adjusted Purchase Payments on the effective date of the change of Owner (the “Change Date”) will be reset to equal the lesser of:
1.The Contract Value as of the Change Date; or
2.Total Adjusted Purchase Payments as of the Change Date.

 

Additionally, after the Change Date the Total Adjusted Purchase Payments.

·Will be increased by any Purchase Payments made after the Change Date; and
·Will be reduced by any Pro-Rata Reduction for Withdrawals made after the Change Date.

 

A change of Owner may only be elected if the Age of any new Owner is Age 80 or younger on the Change Date.

 

If any Owner’s Age (or any Annuitant’s Age if Non-Natural Owner) on the Contract Date is over Age 80, the Death Benefit Amount as of any day prior to the Annuity Date is equal to the Contract Value as of the Notice Date.

 

Death Benefit – A Death Benefit will be payable as described below if the first Owner (or any Annuitant in the case of a Non-Natural Owner) dies while this Contract is active.

 

The Death Benefit proceeds will be payable on the Notice Date. The proceeds will equal the Death Benefit Amount reduced by any charges for Premium Taxes and/or other taxes  if proceeds are used to purchase an Annuity Option from us.

 

These proceeds may be payable in a lump sum, as Periodic Payments under an Annuity Option available, or in accordance with the Code (see Death of Owner Distribution Rules Before the Annuity Date provision).

 

Interest on Death Benefit We will pay Interest on Death Benefit payments as required by the laws of the state of New York. For the portion of the Contract Value invested in the Fixed Account Option, Interest on Death Benefit payments will be credited from the date of death. For the portion of the Contract Value invested in the Index-Linked Options, Interest on Death Benefit payments will be credited if the payment is not made within seven (7) days following the Notice Date.

 

Line of Succession – We will pay the Death Benefit proceeds to the first among the following who is:

·Living; or
·An entity entitled to receive such proceeds:
1.The Owner;
2.The Joint Owner;
3.The Beneficiary; or
4.The Contingent Beneficiary.

 

If none are living (or if there is no entity entitled to receive the Death Benefit proceeds) on the date of the death, we will pay the proceeds to the Owner’s estate.

 

If the Joint Owner is living at the time of the Owner’s death but dies prior to the claim being paid, the proceeds will be paid to the Beneficiary.

 

If the Beneficiary and Contingent Beneficiary pre-decease the Owner, the proceeds will be paid to the Owner’s estate.

 

If the Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary is living at the time of the Owner’s death but dies prior to the claim being paid, the proceeds will be paid to the Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary’s estate.

 

11

 

 

If there are multiple Beneficiaries, the Death Benefit Amount will be calculated when we receive Proof of Death and instructions in Good Order from any Beneficiary. Any Death Benefit Amount remaining to be paid to any other Beneficiary will be invested in the Fixed Account Option and earn an Interest Rate at least equal to the Nonforfeiture Rate.

 

Death of Annuitant – If an Annuitant dies and there is a surviving Joint or Contingent Annuitant, the surviving Joint or Contingent Annuitant becomes the sole Annuitant. If there is no surviving Joint or Contingent Annuitant, the youngest Owner becomes the Annuitant, provided that the Owner is a natural person.

 

DEATH OF OWNER DISTRIBUTION RULES BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE

 

The following rules determine when a distribution must be made under this Contract. These rules do not affect our determination of the Death Benefit Amount payable or distribution proceeds. If there is more than one Owner, these rules apply on the date the first of the Joint Owners dies.

 

If any Owner dies, the designated recipient may elect to receive the Death Benefit proceeds:

·In a lump sum payment; or
·Within five (5) years following the Owner’s death; or
·In the form of an annuity for life or over a period that does not exceed the life expectancy of the designated recipient, with annuity payments starting within one (1) year after the Owner’s death.

 

Unless otherwise required by law, an election must be made to commence annuity payments within one (1) year from the date of death. If no such election is made, the payment option will be a lump sum.

 

The Owner may designate that the Beneficiary is to receive the Death Benefit proceeds either through a lump sum, an annuity for life or over a period that does not exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. The instructions must be received by us and may only be changed by the Owner. Upon death of the Owner, the Beneficiary cannot change the Owner’s instructions regarding the Death Benefit proceeds.

 

This Contract is subject to all applicable provisions of Code Section 72(s) including the requirement that, if the Owner dies before the Annuity Date, any Death Benefit proceeds under this Contract shall be distributed within five (5) years of the Owner’s death (or such other period that we offer and that is permitted under the Code).

 

SPOUSAL CONTINUATION

 

On the Notice Date, if the Spouse of the deceased Owner is the sole surviving Beneficiary, or is the sole surviving Joint Owner, and has an unrestricted right to receive the Death Benefit proceeds in a lump sum, the Spouse may choose to continue this Contract as the Owner when we receive processing instructions prior to one (1) year from the date of death. If the Spouse chooses to continue this Contract as the Owner, then on the Notice Date we will set the Contract Value to be equal to the Death Benefit Amount that would have been payable to the Spouse as the Beneficiary. The amount that the Death Benefit Amount exceeds the Contract Value will be added to the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account Option in the form of the Add-In Amount on the Notice Date. The existing allocations will remain in the same Interest Crediting Option(s) for the remainder of the existing term(s). The Spouse may Transfer to other Interest Crediting Options at the end of the corresponding term.

 

DEATH ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE

 

Death of Owner – If an Owner, who is not the Annuitant, dies after the Annuity Date and there are remaining annuity payments under the Annuity Option in effect at the time of the Owner’s death, payments will continue, and the Owner’s Contract rights will transfer per the Line of Succession provision.

 

12

 

 

Death of Annuitant – If the Annuitant dies and a joint Annuity Option was selected, the annuity payments will be based on the life of the Joint Annuitant. If a Period Certain Annuitization Option was chosen and the Annuitant dies before the guaranteed annuity payments are completed, we will pay the remainder of the guaranteed payments per the Line of Succession provision. If Life with Period Certain Annuity Option was chosen, after the guaranteed payments under the Period Certain have been paid, payments will stop when the Annuitant dies. If the Life with Cash Refund Option was chosen and the total amount of annuity payments is less than the amount annuitized, a lump sum amount (equal to the amount annuitized less total annuity payments paid) will be paid. If the Life with Installment Refund Option was chosen and the total amount of annuity payments is less than the amount annuitized, annuity payments will continue to be paid until the total amount of all annuity payments equals the amount annuitized.

 

ANNUITY PROVISIONS

 

Date Annuity Payments Begin – Annuity payments begin on the Annuity Date, if the Annuitant is living and the Contract is active. Once annuity payments begin, no changes can be made to the Annuity Option, no Subsequent Purchase Payments will be accepted, and no Withdrawals will be allowed.

 

On the Annuity Date we will apply the entire Contract Value, less any applicable premium taxes, to provide annuity payments under the Annuity Option selected. Annuitizing only a portion of the Contract Value is not allowed.

 

Annuitant Requirements and Changes – The following apply:

·All Annuitants must not exceed the Maximum Issue Age as of the Contract Date.
·You may not change the primary or Joint Annuitant after the Contract Date.
·If the Contract is owned by a Non-Natural Owner, you may not have a Contingent Annuitant.
·You may add or change a Contingent Annuitant prior to the Annuity Date if the Contingent Annuitant is not the sole surviving Annuitant at the time of the change.
·You may add a Joint Annuitant on the Annuity Date.

 

Minimum Amount – On the Annuity Date, if the Contract Value is less than the Minimum Annuitization Amount, and if no Purchase Payments have been made for a period of three full years, the entire amount will be distributed in one lump sum. Regardless of the annuity payments frequency selected, the Minimum Annuity Payment Amount must be met. We may pay the amount in a lump sum Withdrawal if the monthly annuity benefit does not equal or exceed the Minimum Annuity Payment Amount shown in the Contract Specifications. Withdrawal Charges will not be deducted from the lump sum Withdrawal.

 

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 on the Contract Date and the Annuitant’s Age. If there are Joint Annuitants, the Annuity Date is 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 or new Annuity Date, whichever is earlier. The new Annuity Date must be after the first Contract Anniversary and on or before the day the younger Annuitant reaches the Maximum Annuitization Age, or earlier as required by any applicable federal law or the Code.

 

Default Annuity Option – If you do not choose an Annuity Date, the Annuity Date will be the Annuitant’s Maximum Annuitization Age or your younger Joint Annuitant’s Maximum Annuitization Age, whichever applies.

 

If you have not selected an Annuity Option at your Annuity Date, we will apply the sum of:

·Index-Linked Option Value(s), plus
·Fixed Account Option Value, less
·Charges for Premium Taxes, if applicable.

 

This amount will be annuitized under the Life with a ten (10) year Period Certain Annuity Option.

 

Amount of Payments – The annuity payment amount depends on the Annuity Option, Contract Value annuitized and payment frequency. If you do not choose the Period Certain Only Option, the payment amount will also depend on the Age and the sex of the Annuitant(s).

 

13

 

 

Conversion to Current Rates – Annuity payments will be calculated using the greater of:

·Our current income factors in effect for this Contract on the Annuity Date; or
·Our guaranteed income factors set forth in this Contract.

 

Periodic Payments – The first payment under the chosen Annuity Option will be determined on the Annuity Date and will be made on the day following the Annuity Date. Subsequent annuity payments will be processed on the day in each payment period that corresponds to the Payment Start Date and will be made on the following day.

 

Beneficiary Annuity Option – For a Beneficiary selecting an Annuity Option, the first payment will be on the first day of the calendar month, or earlier at our option, following the day we receive due Proof of Death and instructions regarding payment, (called the “Payment Start Date”). The amounts of subsequent annuity payments will be determined on the day in each payment period that corresponds to the Payment Start Date and will be made on the following day.

 

ANNUITY OPTION PROVISIONS

 

Life with Period Certain (Single/Joint) – Periodic annuity payments are made for the greater of the Annuitant’s (both Annuitants for Joint) life and the specified period.

 

You may choose to have annuity payments guaranteed for a specified period of five (5) through thirty (30) years, subject to Annuity Option chosen.

 

Contact us to obtain a current list of additional available Annuity Options, if any.

 

ANNUITY OPTION TABLES

 

Applicability of Rates – The Annuity Tables contained in the following pages illustrate the minimum guaranteed monthly income purchased per $1,000 of the net amount applied.

 

Basis of Computations – The actuarial basis for the Annuity Option Tables is the 2012 Individual Annuity Mortality Period Life Table with the ages set back ten (10) years with interest as shown in the Contract Specifications.

 

Rates Not Shown – Any rates and/or Ages not shown in the Annuity tables contained in this Contract will be provided by the Company upon request.

 

Annuity benefits will not be less than those that would be provided by the application of an amount to purchase any single premium immediate annuity offered by us at the time annuity payments commence to the same class of Annuitants. The amount is the greater of the cash surrender benefit or 95% of what the cash surrender benefit would be if there were no Withdrawal Charge.
