• The Segment Rate of Return for Segments using one Segment Option may differ from Segments using different Segment Options even though the Segments have similar durations and/or track similar indices. In addition, because of the way the Segment Rate of Return is calculated for Step Up and Dual Direction Segments, I understand that in certain circumstances a very small difference in the Index Performance Rate can result in a much larger difference in the Segment Rate of Return for those Segments.
• For Enhanced Upside Segments, the Segment Rate of Return—inclusive of any application of the Enhanced Upside Rate—is always subject to, and thus limited by, the Performance Cap Rate. This means that even if the Index Performance Rate multiplied by the Enhanced Upside Rate is greater than the Performance Cap Rate, the Segment Rate of Return will equal the Performance Cap Rate.

•BENEFIT DISCLOSURE. I/WE UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT:
• There are additional charges for certain guaranteed benefit riders. Please see your prospectus for additional information. Your age on the issue date of your contract may impact the extent to which you can participate in certain contract
• features. Please see your prospectus for additional information regarding the contract’s features and benefits.
The age requirements for all guaranteed benefits are based on the Owner’s age(s) at the time the contract is issued, • regardless of the Owner’s age(s) when the application is signed.
The benefit base(s) does not represent an Account Value or Cash Value. The benefit base(s) cannot be split in connection • with a divorce.
A guaranteed benefit may be of limited use if required minimum distributions apply, now or in the future, to my Contract because withdrawals that are made from this Contract to meet the required amount may significantly reduce the benefit. However, if I elect the Automatic Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Withdrawal Service, one withdrawal per contract year of my required minimum distributions made through the automatic Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Withdrawal Service will not reduce my Income Base. Such withdrawal will reduce the Highest Anniversary Value Death Benefit (HAV
• DB) base on a dollar for dollar basis, and the Return of Premium Death Benefit (ROP DB) benefit base on a pro-rata basis.
• Withdrawals under the Contract may reduce my benefits.
If you take a withdrawal from, or transfer out of, a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date, we calculate the Segment Interim Value (“SIV”) for that Segment. The SIV may be less than the Segment Investment and may be less than the Segment Maturity Value would have been on the Segment Maturity Date. Any such withdrawal or transfer will reduce the
• Segment Investment and the reduction may be greater than the dollar amount of the withdrawal or transfer. Any change in ownership (except for certain non-natural ownership changes) will terminate all guaranteed benefits and the death benefit will become your account value.
