However, should You have any questions after You have read it, please call the representative who sold this Policy to You or call Us. This summary is not a substitute for the detailed policy provisions. This is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy. Proceeds as described in this Policy will be paid upon surrender, maturity, or death of the Insured.

Sufficient premiums must be paid to continue this Policy in force. Premium reminder notices will be sent for planned premiums and for premiums required to continue this Policy in force.

Page 5 Right to Defer Payment Payments of any Separate Account Value will be made within 7 days after Our receipt of Your Written Request. However, the Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of any benefit or values for any Valuation Period (1) when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except holidays or weekends); (2) when trading on the Exchange is restricted; (3) when an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that disposal of the securities held in the Funds is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Funds' net assets; or (4) during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders. For payment from the Separate Account in such instances, We may defer payment of: 1. Surrender or partial surrender values; 2. any Proceeds on death in excess of the current Specified Amount; or 3. any portion of the Loan Value. Payment of any Fixed Account Value may be deferred for up to six months, except when used to pay premiums to Us.

If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, more than 2 years from the Date of Issue of this Policy but within 2 years from the Date of Issue of any increase in coverage, We will pay: 1. The Proceeds on death for any coverage in effect more than 2 years from the Date of Issue of this Policy; plus 2. the monthly deductions for the increase in coverage. All amounts will be calculated as of the date of death. Incontestability With respect to statements made in the initial application for the Insured: We will not contest this Policy after it has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for 2 years from its Date of Issue. With respect to statements made in any Subsequent Applications for the Insured: We will not contest coverage relating to Subsequent Applications after coverage has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for 2 years from the Date of Issue of such coverage or from the effective date of any reinstatement. If this Policy is contested, Your rights or the Beneficiary's rights may be affected. Page 6 Premiums and Reinstatement General Sufficient premiums must be paid to continue this Policy in force until the Maturity Date. The first premium is due on the Date of Issue. Premium due dates are measured from the Date of Issue. Any premiums after the first premium are payable only at the Administrator Mailing Address. Send Your check or money order, payable to Lincoln Life, to the Administrator Mailing Address. Please be sure to write Your policy number on Your check. A receipt signed by an officer of the Company will be given upon request. We may apply limits for Planned Premiums and Additional Premiums as necessary to preserve the status of this Policy as a life insurance policy under federal tax law. We may require satisfactory evidence of insurability if payment of the new Planned Premium or an Additional Premium during the current Policy Year would increase the difference between the Death Benefit and the Total Account Value. Planned Premiums Planned Premium is the premium amount You intend to pay and the amount that will be billed. Premium reminder notices for Planned Premiums will be sent at frequencies of 3, 6 or 12 months, or at any other frequency to which We agree. Planned premiums as of the Date of Issue are shown in the Policy Specifications. You may change the amount and frequency of Planned Premiums by Your Written Request. Additional Premiums Additional Premiums are premium payments in excess of planned premiums. Additional Premiums may be paid at any time while this Policy is in force and before the Maturity Date. Allocation of Premium Each Net Premium will be credited to Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account S (and each of the selected Funds) and/or the General Account in the percentages indicated in the Policy Specifications, unless changed as provided in the Changes in Allocation Percentages provision below. Changes in Allocation Percentages Allocation percentages may be changed at any time by Your request to Us. Percentages must be changed in whole percentages. If these percentages are changed in accordance with this provision, We will send a letter to You confirming the change. The change will be effective as of the date of the next premium payment after You notify Us. Grace Period If the Total Account Value less the Loan Account Value is not sufficient to allow a Monthly Deduction on the Monthly Deduction Day, We will allow You 61 days of grace for payment of an amount sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction. We may require payment of the amount necessary to keep this Policy in force for the current Policy Month plus two additional Policy Months. Written notice will be mailed to Your last known address, according to Our records, not less than 61 days before termination of this Policy. This notice will also be mailed to the last known address of any assignee of record. During the days of grace this Policy will stay in force. If the Insured's death occurs during the days of grace, We will deduct an amount sufficient to cover the overdue Monthly Deduction(s) from the Death Benefit. If payment is not made within 61 days after the Monthly Deduction Day, the Policy will terminate without value at the end of the Grace Period. Page 7 Reinstatement If this Policy terminates as provided in the Grace Period provision, We may allow it to be reinstated within 5 years after the date of termination and before the Maturity Date. To reinstate this Policy, We will require: 1. satisfactory evidence of insurability on the Insured; and 2. payment of an amount sufficient to cover the current monthly deduction(s) plus two additional Policy Months. If this Policy is reinstated, it will be reinstated on the Monthly Deduction Day following Our approval. This Policy's Total Account Value at reinstatement will be the Net Premium paid less the monthly deduction for that day. Any Loan Account Value will not be reinstated. Death Benefit Options General The Proceeds payable upon the Insured's death will be as provided under one of the following Death Benefit options. The option for this Policy as of the Date of Issue is shown in the Policy Specifications. If You have changed the Death Benefit option, the option is shown in the supplemental Policy Specifications which will be sent to You. Option 1 The Specified Amount shown in the Policy Specifications includes the Total Account Value. Under this option, the Death Benefit will be the greater of: (a) the Specified Amount on the date of death or (b) a percentage of the Total Account Value. This percentage is one divided by the Net Single Premium per dollar. The Net Single Premium is based on interest of 4.0% per annum and guaranteed cost of insurance rates. Option 2 The Specified Amount is in addition to the Total Account Value. Under this option, the Death Benefit will be the greater of: (a) the Specified Amount plus the Total Account Value on the date of death or (b) a percentage of the Total Account Value. This percentage is one divided by the Net Single Premium per dollar. The Net Single Premium is based on interest of 4.0% per annum and guaranteed cost of insurance rates. Option 3 Under this option, the Death Benefit will be the greater of (a) the Specified Amount plus the Accumulated Premium(s) on the date of death, or (b) a percentage of the Total Account Value. This percentage is one divided by the Net Single Premium per dollar. The Net Single Premium is based on interest of 4.0% per annum and guaranteed cost of insurance rates. The total death benefit under this option is limited and will not exceed the total Death Benefit paid under Option 2. The Accumulated Premium is the sum of all premiums paid from the Date of Issue accumulated at the Premium Accumulation Rate. This option may be selected only at issue. Policy Values Basis of Calculation The values of this Policy equal or exceed those required by the Standard Nonforfeiture Law as provided in the Variable Life Insurance law in the jurisdiction where this Policy is delivered. A detailed statement has been filed with the jurisdiction which shows how to compute those values. Page 8 Interest Credited We will credit interest on the Fixed Account Value at the guaranteed rate of 4.0% per year. This guaranteed rate equals 0.32737%, per month, compounded monthly. We may credit interest in excess of the guaranteed rate. Additional excess interest at a rate not to exceed 1/2% per year will be credited to policies in force at least 10 years. The guaranteed interest rate will not be increased by the additional excess interest rate. Interest earned by the Loan Account Value is described in the Loan Interest Credited provision. Fixed Account Value The Fixed Account Value for this Policy will be: 1. The value of the Net Premiums credited to the Fixed Account Value; less 2. the portion of monthly deductions from the Fixed Account Value; plus 3. interest credited; less 4. any transfers of value out of the Fixed Account Value; plus 5. any transfers from the Fund(s) to the Fixed Account Value; plus 6. any loan repayments credited to the Fixed Account Value. Separate Account Value The Separate Account Value of this Policy will be the sum of the Fund Account Values. A. Fund Account Value The portion of each Net Premium allocated to a Fund plus any interest earned on the Loan Account Value which is attributable to that Fund is credited to this Policy in the form of accumulation units. Accumulation units measure the net investment result of each Fund. The number of accumulation units credited is equal to that portion of Net Premium divided by the accumulation unit value for that Fund for the Valuation Period in which the premium is received. The Fund Account Value of each Fund will equal the accumulation unit value for that Fund multiplied by the number of accumulation units for that Fund credited to this Policy. B. Accumulation Unit Value A Fund accumulation unit value for any Valuation Period after the inception of the Fund is calculated as follows: 1. The total value of Fund shares held is calculated by multiplying the number of Fund shares owned at the beginning of the Valuation Period by the net asset value per share of the Fund at the end of the Valuation Period and adding any dividend or other distribution of the Fund earned during the Valuation Period; minus 2. the liabilities of the Fund at the end of the Valuation Period; such liabilities include daily charges imposed on the Fund and may include a charge or credit with respect to any taxes paid or reserved for by Us that We determine result from operations of the Separate Account; and 3. the result of (2) is divided by the number of accumulation units for that Fund outstanding at the beginning of the Valuation Period. The daily charges imposed on a Fund for any Valuation Period are equal to the mortality and expense risk charge multiplied by the number of calendar days in the Valuation Period. The accumulation unit value may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to Valuation Period. Page 9 Charges to Policy Values Charges and deductions made according to this Policy's provisions will be deducted from the Separate Account Value and the Fixed Account Value in the same proportion that these Values bear to the sum of the Fixed Account Value and the Separate Account Value on the date of the deduction. The portion of the deduction attributable to the Separate Account Value will reduce each Fund Account Value in the same proportions that these Fund Account Values bear to the total Separate Account Value. The number of accumulation units deducted from each Fund is determined by dividing the amount of the deduction attributable to the Fund by the Fund's accumulation unit value for the Valuation Period when the charge was made. The resulting number of Fund accumulation units will be deducted from the total accumulation units for that Fund. The portion of the deduction attributable to the Fixed Account Value will be deducted from that Value as a dollar amount. Transfers Within Accounts You may transfer all or part of each Fund Account Value to any other Fund or to the Fixed Account Value at any time. There will be no charge for the first 12 transfers within a Policy Year, but we reserve the right to charge a $25 administrative fee for each additional transfer within that Policy Year. Within the forty-five days following the Policy Anniversary, You may request a transfer of a portion of the Fixed Account Value to one or more of the Funds. This type of transfer is allowed only once within these forty-five days and We must receive Your request at the Administrator Mailing Address within the forty-five days. The transfer will be effective on the Valuation Date that Your request is received at the Administrator Mailing Address. The amount of such transfer cannot exceed the greater of 20% of the greatest amount in the Fixed Account Value during the prior 5 years or $1000. Accumulation units for each Fund will be added to or subtracted from the total accumulation units for that Fund, based on each Fund's accumulation unit value at the end of the Valuation Date when request for such transfer is received by Us. A dollar amount will be added to or subtracted from the Fixed Account Value according to the terms of Your request for transfer. Monthly Deductions Monthly deductions begin on the Date of Issue and occur on each Monthly Deduction Day thereafter. The monthly deduction will be deducted from this Policy's values as described in the Charges to Policy Values provision. The monthly deduction is equal to: 1. the cost of insurance as calculated below; plus 2. the monthly policy fee, shown in the Policy Specifications. Cost of Insurance The Cost of Insurance on any Monthly Deduction Day will be (1) multiplied by the result of (2) minus (3) where: (1) is the monthly Cost of Insurance Rate on that date divided by 1,000; (2) is the death benefit on that date divided by 1.0032737; (3) is the Total Account Value on that date before computing the monthly deductions for the cost of insurance for this Policy. Cost of Insurance Rate The monthly cost of insurance is based on the Insured's issue age, number of Policy Years elapsed and premium class. For Initial Coverage, the premium class on the Date of Issue will be used. For any increase, the premium class for that increase will be used. If the Insured is assigned a premium class which designates "smoker" and this classification changes, You may, by Written Request, reclassify the Insured any time after the first Policy Anniversary. Upon Our acceptance of the change, supplemental Policy Specifications will be sent to You. The monthly Cost of Insurance Rates may be adjusted by Us from time to time. Adjustments will be on a class basis and will be based on Our estimates for future factors such as mortality, investment income, expenses, and the length of time policies stay in force. Any adjustments will be made on a nondiscriminatory basis. The rate during any Policy Year will never exceed the rate shown for that year in the Table of Guaranteed Maximum Insurance Rates in the Policy Specifications. Guaranteed rates for this Policy are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table B. Page 10 Nonforfeiture Provisions Continuation of Coverage Coverage of this Policy will continue to the Maturity Date as long as the Surrender Value is sufficient to cover each monthly deduction. If the Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover a monthly deduction, the Grace Period provision will apply. Surrender Value By Written Request, the Owner may surrender this Policy for its full surrender value at any time during the lifetime of the Insured. All or a portion of the premium load(s) and Premium Tax Charge in the first Policy Year will be refunded to You within the first two Policy Years upon a full surrender. Decreases in the Specified Amount will decrease the portion of the premium load(s) and Premium Tax Charge refunded to you. All insurance coverage under this Policy will end on the date of the full surrender. Partial surrenders will also be allowed. The full Surrender Value will equal: 1. The Total Account Value on the date of surrender; less 2. the Loan Account Value plus any accrued interest; plus 3. the premium load refund, if any. Partial Surrender Partial surrenders may be made at any time after the first Policy Year while this Policy is in force. The minimum amount of any partial surrender is $500. If the Death Benefit option for this Policy is option 1 or 3, a partial surrender will reduce the Total Account Value, Death Benefit, and Specified Amount. However, We will not allow a partial surrender if the Specified Amount will be reduced below the Minimum Specified Amount. If the Death Benefit on the date of the partial surrender is determined as a percentage of the Total Account Value as described in the Death Benefit Options section, the partial surrender may not reduce the Specified Amount. If the Death Benefit option for this Policy is Option 2, a partial surrender will reduce the Total Account Value and the Death Benefit. The Specified Amount will not be reduced. Paid-Up Nonforfeiture Option By Written Request, You may elect, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, to continue this Policy as paid-up life insurance with no further premiums due. The Specified Amount of the paid-up insurance will be the amount, up to the Death Benefit under this Policy as of the effective date of the paid-up insurance, that the Surrender Value can purchase for a Net Single Premium at the Insured's Attained Age and premium class on the date this option is elected. The Net Single Premium will be based on the maximum cost of insurance rates in this Policy and an interest rate of 4.0% compounded annually. Any excess value will be refunded to You. The effective date of the paid-up insurance will be the Monthly Deduction Day which occurs on or immediately after the date Your request is received by Us. As of the effective date: No further premium payments, monthly deductions, excess interest credits or changes in coverage may be made; and No transfers from the Fixed Account Value back to the Separate Account Value may be made; and all extra benefit riders will terminate. You may, after electing paid-up insurance, surrender the Policy for its Total Account Value. We will transfer the Separate Account Value to the Fixed Account Value on the date we receive Your Written Request to elect this option. Page 11 Policy Loans General We will grant loans while this Policy is in force. The amount of the loan will not be more than the Loan Value. The Loan Value for this Policy is 90% of the sum of the Fixed Account Value and the Separate Account Value. The amount of the loan will be transferred out of the Fixed Account and Separate Account Values as described in the Charges to Policy Values provision. The loan amount increases the Loan Account Value. The Loan Account Value plus accrued interest will reduce any Proceeds under this Policy. If the Loan Account Value exceeds the sum of the Separate Account Value and Fixed Account Value, the Grace Period provision will apply. Loan Interest Rate Charged Interest, at an effective annual rate, will be charged on this Policy's Loan Account Value. The rate of interest may change and applies to this Policy's total Loan Account Value. Changes will be made only on a Policy Anniversary. Interest is due and payable on the next Policy Anniversary, the date this Policy ends or upon full repayment of the Loan Account Value. Any interest not paid when due will be added to the Loan Account Value on the Policy Anniversary and will itself bear interest on the same terms. The interest rate is based on a Monthly Average. The Monthly Average will be the Composite Yield on Corporate Bonds as published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or any successor to that service. If such average is no longer published, the average used will be determined by law or regulation of the insurance supervisory official of the jurisdiction where this policy is delivered. In no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum rate imposed by law or regulation of the jurisdiction where this policy is delivered. The interest rate charged during any Policy Year will not exceed the maximum rate for that year. The maximum rate will be the greater of: 1. the Monthly Average for the calendar month which ends 2 months before the month in which the Policy Anniversary occurs; or 2. 5.0% We may increase the rate only when the maximum rate is at least .5% higher than the rate in effect for the prior Policy Year. We will reduce the rate only when the maximum rate is at least .5% lower than the rate in effect for the prior Policy Year. We will notify You of the current policy loan interest rate for this Policy at the time a policy loan is taken. If the Policy has a Loan Account Value, We will notify You of any change in the interest rate before the new rate becomes effective. Loan Interest Rate Credited The Loan Account Value will earn interest at a rate equal to the greater of: 1. the policy loan interest rate less a rate not to exceed .90%; or 2. 4.0% We will notify You of the current policy loan interest rate for this Policy at the time a policy loan is taken. If the Policy has Loan Account Value, We will notify You of any change in the interest rate before the new rate becomes effective. The interest earned by the Loan Account Value will be credited to the Fixed Account Value and the Separate Account Value in the same proportion in which the loan amount was originally deducted from these values. Page 12 Repayment The Loan Account Value may be repaid in full or in part at any time as long as this Policy is in force and the Insured is living. The amount necessary to repay all loans in full is the Loan Account Value plus any accrued interest. Loan repayments will be allocated to the Fixed Account Value and the Separate Account Value in the same proportion in which the loan was taken. The proportion allocated to the Separate Account Value will be further allocated to the Funds in accordance with current premium allocation. The Loan Account Value will be reduced by the amount of any loan repayment. Changes in Insurance Coverage General For any change in coverage We will require Your Written Request. Supplemental Policy Specifications will be sent to You once the change is completed. Increase in Specified Amount Increases will be allowed at any time. Satisfactory evidence of insurability on the Insured may be required. The Date of Issue for any increase will be shown in the Supplemental Policy Specifications. Decrease in Specified Amount Decreases will be allowed at any time with Our consent. The amount of a decrease cannot reduce this Policy's Specified Amount below the Minimum Specified Amount. For a decrease in the Specified Amount, the Date of Issue will be the Monthly Deduction Date on or next following the date on which Your Written Request is received. The decrease will reduce any past increases in the reverse order in which they occurred. Change in Death Benefit Option Any change in the Death Benefit option is subject to the following conditions: We will not allow a change from Death Benefit Options 1 or 2 to Death Benefit Option 3. We will not allow a change in the Death Benefit option if the Specified Amount will be reduced below the Minimum Specified Amount. The change will take effect on the Monthly Deduction Day on or next following the date on which Your Written Request is received. Evidence of insurability may be required. Change from Option 1 to 2 Changes from Option 1 to 2 will be allowed at any time. The Specified Amount will be reduced to equal the Specified Amount less the Total Account Value at the time of the change. Change from Option 2 to 1 Changes from Option 2 to 1 will be allowed at any time. The new Specified Amount will equal the Specified Amount plus the Total Account Value at the time of the change. Change from Option 3 to 1 Changes from Option 3 to 1 will be allowed at any time. The Specified Amount will be increased to equal the Specified Amount prior to the change, plus the lesser of the accumulated premiums or the Total Account Value at the time of the change. Page 13 Change from Option 3 to 2 Changes from Option 3 to 2 will be allowed at any time. The Specified Amount will be reduced to equal the Specified Amount prior to the change plus the difference between the Total Account Value and the accumulated premiums at the time of the change. Change of Fund(s) The Company may: 1. Change the Fund(s) which may be invested in a Separate Account; and 2. replace the shares of Funds held in a Separate Account with shares of other Fund(s). Changes must be: 1. Approved by a majority vote of persons having an interest in the Separate Account and its Fund(s); or 2. deemed necessary by Us under the Investment Company Act of 1940; or 3. deemed necessary by Us to accomplish the purpose of the Separate Account. The investment policy of a Separate Account may not be changed without Our obtaining any necessary regulatory or other approvals. We will notify You of any change. Separate Account Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account S is a Separate Account established by Us in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana. Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses from the assets of Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account S will be credited to or charged against Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account S without regard to Our other income, gains, or losses. Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account S's liabilities arise from the variable life insurance policies that it supports. The assets of Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account S are available to cover the liabilities of the General Account only to the extent that Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account S's assets exceed its liabilities. The value of the assets of Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account S is determined whenever the policy benefits vary and at the end of every Valuation Period. Settlement Options Conditions All or part of the Proceeds of this Policy may be applied under one or more of the options described below. An election shall be made by Written Request filed at the Administrator Mailing Address. The Payee of Proceeds may make this election if no prior election has been made. Our consent to the election of an option is required if: the Payee is not a natural person receiving payments in his or her own right; or the Payee is an assignee of this Policy. When any option is chosen, the Payee must designate whether the annuity will be: (a) a fixed annuity (b) a variable annuity, or (c) a combination of (a) and (b). If no designation is made, the Separate Account Value shall be used to provide a variable annuity payment, and the Fixed Account Value shall be used to provide a fixed annuity payment. Page 14 If a fixed annuity is chosen, the annuity purchase rate for the option chosen will reflect at least the minimum guaranteed interest rate of 3.0%. Where a variable annuity is chosen, an assumed annual net return rate of 4.0% will be used to determine the amount of the first annuity payment under a variable annuity. The 4.0% assumed annual net return is the measuring point for subsequent variable annuity payouts. If the actual net investment rate (annualized) exceeds 4.0%, the variable annuity payments will increase at a rate equal to the amount of such excess. Conversely, if the actual rate is less than 4.0%, variable annuity payments will decrease. Payments will not change due to changes in the mortality or expense results or administrative charges. Separate Account Payments on a variable basis will be made from the Proceeds held in Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N. Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N is a Separate Account established by Us in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana. Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses from the assets of Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N will be credited to or charged against Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N without regard to Our other income, gains, or losses. Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N's liabilities arise from the variable portion of annuity contracts and life insurance settlement options that it supports. The assets of Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N are available to cover the liabilities of the General Account only to the extent that Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N's assets exceed its liabilities. Fund(s) Settlement Option Annuity Units of Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N If payment on a variable basis is chosen, the first payment is calculated as follows: 1. the portion of Proceeds applied to make payment on the variable basis; divided by 2. 1,000; multiplied by 3. the payment rate for the option chosen. This amount is divided by the Fund settlement option annuity unit value on the Annuity Commencement Date to determine the number of Fund settlement option annuity units. The due date of the first annuity payment will be 14 days after the Annuity Commencement Date. The number of Fund settlement option annuity units remains fixed unless a Fund transfer occurs. Each future payment is equal to this number multiplied by the Fund settlement option annuity unit value on the Valuation Date ending 14 days prior to the due date of the payment. Fund(s) Settlement Option Annuity Unit Value of Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N A Fund settlement option annuity unit value for any Valuation Period after the inception of the Fund is calculated as follows: 1. The Fund settlement option annuity unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period; multiplied by 2. The Fund settlement option accumulation unit value for this Valuation Period divided by the Fund settlement option accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period; multiplied by 3. 0.9998926 raised to a power equal to the number of days in the current Valuation Period. 0.9998926 is the daily factor for the 4.0% assumed annual net return rate. The dollar value of the Fund settlement option unit values and payments may increase or decrease due to investment gain or loss. Page 15 Fund(s) Settlement Option Accumulation Unit Value of Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account N A Fund settlement option accumulation unit value for any Valuation Period after the inception of the Fund is calculated as follows: 1. The total value of Fund shares held is calculated by multiplying the number of Fund shares owned at the beginning of the Valuation Period by the net asset value per share of the Fund at the end of the Valuation Period and adding any dividend or other distribution of the Fund earned during the Valuation Period; minus 2. The liabilities of the Fund at the end of the Valuation Period; such liabilities include daily charges imposed on the Fund and may include a charge or credit with respect to any taxes paid or reserved for by Us that We determine result from operations of the Separate Account; and 3. The result of (2) is divided by the number of accumulation units for that Fund outstanding at the beginning of the Valuation Period. The daily charges imposed on a Fund for any Valuation Period represent the daily mortality and expense risk charge and the daily administrative charge adjusted for the number of calendar days in the Valuation Period. On an annual basis this charge will not exceed 1.40%. If a variable annuity is chosen, the Payee must allocate the initial payment amount among the allowable Funds. We require a minimum initial payment per Fund of $50 and/or a minimum fixed benefit payment of $50. Fund Transfers During the Annuity Period At the request of the Payee, all or any portion of the variable annuity payment amount allocated to a Fund may be transferred from any Fund to any other allowable Fund or to a fixed benefit payment. A transfer of a fixed benefit payment to a variable benefit payment is not allowed. During the annuity period, the maximum number of allowable transfers in a calendar year is three. We reserve the right to change the number of allowable transfers. Transfer requests must be expressed as a percentage of the current variable annuity units per payment allocated among the Funds. Any transfer must result in a minimum annuity payment per Fund of $50. Transfers will be processed as of the next Valuation Date following receipt of such request in good order at the Administrator Mailing Address. Annuity Payment Options: Option 1 - Life Annuity / Life Annuity with Guaranteed Period - Fixed and/or variable annuity payments will be made for the lifetime of the Annuitant with no certain period, or life and a 10 year certain period, or life and a 20 year certain period. Option 2 - Unit Refund Life Annuity - Variable annuity payments will be made for the lifetime of the Annuitant with the guarantee that upon death, if (a) the number of Fund settlement option annuity units initially purchased (determined by dividing the total dollar amount applied to purchase this settlement option by the Fund settlement option annuity unit value on the Annuity Commencement Date) is greater than (b) the number of Fund settlement option annuity units paid as part of each variable annuity benefit payment multiplied by the number of annuity benefit payments paid prior to death; then a refund payment equal to the number of Fund settlement option annuity units determined by (a) minus (b) will be made. The refund payment value will be determined using the Fund settlement option annuity unit value on the Valuation Date on which the death claim is approved by Us for payment after We are in receipt of (1) proof of death acceptable to Us; (2) written authorization for payment; and (3) all claim forms, fully completed. Option 3 - Cash Refund Life Annuity - Fixed annuity payments will be made for the lifetime of the Annuitant with the guarantee that upon death, if (a) the total dollar amount applied to purchase this option is greater than (b) the fixed annuity benefit payment multiplied by the number of annuity benefit payments paid prior to death; then a refund payment equal to the dollar amount of (a) minus (b) will be made. The refund payment will be made on the Valuation Date on which the death claim is approved by Us for payment after We are in receipt of (1) proof of death acceptable to Us; (2) written authorization for payment; and (3) all claim forms, fully completed. Option 4 - Joint Life Annuity / Joint Life Annuity with Guaranteed Period - Fixed and/or variable payments will be made during the joint life of the Annuitant and a Joint Annuitant of the Owner's choice. Payments will be made for life with no certain period, or life and a 10 year certain period, or life and a 20 year certain period. Payments continue for the life of the survivor at the death of the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant. Other Options - other options may be available as agreed upon in writing by Us. Page 16 The amount of annuity payment will depend on the age and sex (except in cases where unisex rates are required) of the Annuitant as of the Annuity Commencement Date. A choice may be made to receive payments once each month, four times each year, twice each year, or once each year. The Proceeds and Fund settlement option Annuity unit value used to effect benefit payments will be calculated as of the Annuity Commencement Date. If any portion of the annuity payment will be made on a variable basis, the first payment will be made fourteen days after the Annuity Commencement Date. Article 1 of this Policy illustrates the minimum payment amounts and the age adjustments which will be used to determine the first monthly payment under a variable annuity payment option. The tables show the dollar amount of the first monthly payment which can be purchased with each $1,000 of Proceeds, after deduction of any applicable premium taxes. Amounts shown use the 1983 `a' Individual Annuity Mortality Table, modified, with an assumed rate of return of 4.0% per year. Article 2 of this Policy illustrates the minimum payment amounts and the age adjustments which will be used to determine the monthly payments under a fixed annuity payment option. The tables show the dollar amount of the guaranteed monthly payments which can be purchased with each $1,000 of Proceeds, after deduction of any applicable premium taxes. Amounts shown use the 1983 `a' Individual Annuity Mortality Table, modified, with an interest rate of 3.0% per year and a 2.0% expense load.
