| Aetna will not impose a Surrender Fee on any portion of the Current Value which is paid as an ECO distribution. The Surrender Fee, if applicable, will apply to any additional amounts withdrawn while ECO is in effect. |
|
|
|
| The Certificate Holder may elect ECO beginning with the year he or she turns age 70 1/2, but not earlier than 12 months after receipt of the Purchase Payment, by submitting a properly completed election form to Aetna's Home Office. Aetna may require a minimum initial Current Value for the election of ECO. |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Certificate Holder, or a spousal Beneficiary if ECO is elected after the Certificate Holder's death, may revoke ECO at any time by submitting a written request to Aetna's Home Office. If ECO is revoked, it may not begin again until 36 months have elapsed. |

|
| (a) | If the Certificate Holder dies on or after distribution of his or her interest has begun, the remaining portion of such interest, if any, will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the Certificate Holder's death; |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
| (b) | If the Certificate Holder dies before distribution of his or her interest begins, the death benefit payable to the Beneficiary will be distributed no later than December 31 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the date of the Certificate Holder's death except to the extent that an election is made to receive distribution under an Annuity option in accordance with (i) or (ii) below. |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
| | (i) | Distributions to the Beneficiary may be made in installments over the life of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary commencing no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Certificate Holder died. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|
| | | (ii) If the Beneficiary is the Certificate Holder's survivingspouse, and distributions are to be made in accordance with (i) above, distributions must begin on or before the later of December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Certificate Holder died or December 31 of the calendar year in which the Certificate Holder would have attained age 70 1/2. |

|
| A spousal Beneficiary may elect an Annuity option, a lump sum payment or treat the Certificate Holder's Account as his or her own IRA. This election will be deemed to have been made if such surviving spouse makes a rollover to or from such Certificate Holder's Account, or fails to elect any of the above provisions. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Life expectancy is computed by use of the expected return multiples in Tables V and VI of Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations. Life expectancies for distributions under an Annuity option may not be recalculated. |
|
|
|
|
| Distributions under this section are considered to have begun if distributions are made on account of the Certificate Holder reaching the required beginning date, or if prior to the required beginning date, distributions irrevocably commence over a period permitted and in an Annuity option acceptable under Section 1.401(a)(9) of the Proposed Income Tax Regulations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| If SWO or ECO is in effect and the Certificate Holder dies before the required beginning date for minimum distributions, payments will cease and the Beneficiary may claim the death benefit in accordance with the terms of this Section. |
|
|
|
|
| If SWO or ECO is in effect and the Certificate Holder dies after the required beginning date for minimum distributions, the Beneficiary may elect to continue payments, if permitted by Section 1.401(a)(9) of the Proposed Income Tax Regulations, or may claim the death benefit in accordance with the terms of this Section. |
