If you have not made a Lifetime Withdrawal on or before the 12 th Anniversary of the effective date of the benefit, your Periodic Value on the 12 th Anniversary of the benefit effective date is equal to the greater of: (1) the Periodic Value described above or, (2) the sum of (a), (b) and (c) proportionally reduced for any Non-Lifetime Withdrawal: (a) 200% of the Unadjusted Account Value on the effective date of the benefit including any Purchase Payments (including any associated Purchase Credits) made on that day; (b) 200% of all Purchase Payments (including any associated Purchase Credits) made within one year following the effective date of the benefit; and (c) all Purchase Payments (including any associated Purchase Credits) made after one year following the effective date of the benefit. This means that if you do not take a withdrawal on or before the 12 th Anniversary of the benefit, your Protected Withdrawal Value on the 12 th Anniversary will be at least double (200%) your initial Protected Withdrawal Value established on the date of benefit election. As such, you should carefully consider when it is most appropriate for you to begin taking withdrawals under the benefit. Once the first Lifetime Withdrawal is made, the Protected Withdrawal Value at any time is equal to the greater of (i) the Protected Withdrawal Value on the date of the first Lifetime Withdrawal, increased for subsequent Purchase Payments (including any associated Purchase Credits) and reduced for subsequent Lifetime Withdrawals, and (ii) the highest daily Unadjusted Account Value upon any step-up, increased for subsequent Purchase Payments (including any associated Purchase Credits) and reduced for subsequent Lifetime Withdrawals (see the examples that begin immediately prior to the sub-heading below entitled “Example of dollar-for-dollar reductions”). Please note that if you elect Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0, your Account Value is not guaranteed, can fluctuate and may lose value. Key Feature – Annual Income Amount under Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 The Annual Income Amount is equal to a specified percentage of the Protected Withdrawal Value at the first Lifetime Withdrawal and does not reduce in subsequent Annuity Years, as described below. The percentage initially depends on the age of the younger designated life on the date of the first Lifetime Withdrawal after election of the benefit. The percentages are: 2.5% for ages 50-54, 3.5% for ages 55 to 64; 4.5% for ages 65 to 84, and 5.5% for ages 85 and older. We use the age of the younger designated life even if that designated life is no longer a participant under the Annuity due to death or divorce. Under Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0, if your cumulative Lifetime Withdrawals in an Annuity Year are less than or equal to the Annual Income Amount, they will not reduce your Annual Income Amount in subsequent Annuity Years, but any such withdrawals will reduce the Annual Income Amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis in that Annuity Year and also will reduce the Protected Withdrawal Value on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If your cumulative Lifetime Withdrawals in an Annuity Year are in excess of the Annual Income Amount for any Annuity Year (“Excess Income”), your Annual Income Amount in subsequent years will be reduced (except with regard to Required Minimum Distributions for this Annuity that comply with our rules) by the result of the ratio of the Excess Income to the Unadjusted Account Value immediately prior to such withdrawal (see examples of this calculation below). Excess Income also will reduce the Protected Withdrawal Value by the same ratio. As discussed in this paragraph, when you make a partial withdrawal that is subject to a CDSC and/or tax withholding, we will identify the amount that includes not only the amount you actually receive, but also the amount of the CDSC and/or tax withholding, to determine whether your withdrawal has exceeded the Annual Income Amount. When you take a partial withdrawal, you may request a “gross” withdrawal amount (e.g., $2000) but then have any CDSC and/or tax withholding deducted from the amount you actually receive (although an MVA may also be applied to your remaining Unadjusted Account Value, it is not considered for purposes of determining Excess Income). The portion of a withdrawal that exceeded your Annual Income Amount (if any) would be treated as Excess Income and thus would reduce your Annual Income Amount in subsequent years. Alternatively, you may request that a “net” withdrawal amount actually be paid to you (e.g., $2000), with the understanding that any CDSC and/or tax withholding (e.g., $240) be applied to your remaining Unadjusted Account Value (although an MVA may also be applied to your remaining Unadjusted Account Value, it is not considered for purposes of determining Excess Income). In the latter scenario, we determine whether any portion of the withdrawal is to be treated as Excess Income by looking to the sum of the net amount you actually receive (e.g., $2000) and the amount of any CDSC and/or tax withholding (in this example, a total of $2240). The amount of that sum (e.g., the $2000 you received plus the $240 for the CDSC and/or tax withholding) that exceeds your Annual Income Amount will be treated as Excess Income – thereby reducing your Annual Income Amount in subsequent years. You may use the Systematic Withdrawal program to make withdrawals of the Annual Income Amount. Any systematic withdrawal will be deemed a Lifetime Withdrawal under this benefit. 70
Any Purchase Payment that you make subsequent to the election of Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 and subsequent to the first Lifetime Withdrawal will (i) immediately increase the then-existing Annual Income Amount by an amount equal to a percentage of the Purchase Payment (including any associated Purchase Credits) based on the age of the younger designated life at the time of the first Lifetime Withdrawal (the percentages are: 2.5% for ages 50-54, 3.5% for ages 55 to 64, 4.5% for ages 65 to 84, and 5.5% for ages 85 and older), and (ii) increase the Protected Withdrawal Value by the amount of the Purchase Payment (including any associated Purchase Credits). If your Annuity permits additional Purchase Payments, we may limit any additional Purchase Payment(s) if we determine that as a result of the timing and amounts of your additional Purchase Payments and withdrawals, the Annual Income Amount is being increased in an unintended fashion. Among the factors we will use in making a determination as to whether an action is designed to increase the Annual Income Amount in an unintended fashion is the relative size of additional Purchase Payment(s). Subject to state law, we reserve the right to not accept additional Purchase Payments if we are not then offering this benefit for new elections. We will exercise such reservation of right for all annuity purchasers in the same class in a nondiscriminatory manner. Highest Daily Auto Step-Up An automatic step-up feature (“Highest Daily Auto Step-Up”) is part of this benefit. As detailed in this paragraph, the Highest Daily Auto Step-Up feature can result in a larger Annual Income Amount subsequent to your first Lifetime Withdrawal. The Highest Daily Step-Up starts with the anniversary of the Issue Date of the Annuity (the “Annuity Anniversary”) immediately after your first Lifetime Withdrawal under the benefit. Specifically, upon the first such Annuity Anniversary, we identify the Unadjusted Account Value on each Valuation Day within the immediately preceding Annuity Year after your first Lifetime Withdrawal. Having identified the highest daily value (after all daily values have been adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals), we then multiply that value by a percentage that varies based on the age of the younger designated life on the Annuity Anniversary as of which the step-up would occur. The percentages are 2.5% for ages 50-54, 3.5% for ages 55 to 64, 4.5% for ages 65 to 84, and 5.5% for ages 85 and older. If that value exceeds the existing Annual Income Amount, we replace the existing amount with the new, higher amount. Otherwise, we leave the existing Annual Income Amount intact. We will not automatically increase your Annual Income Amount solely as a result of your attaining a new age that is associated with a new age-based percentage. The Unadjusted Account Value on the Annuity Anniversary is considered the last daily step-up value of the Annuity Year. In later years (i.e., after the first Annuity Anniversary after the first Lifetime Withdrawal), we determine whether an automatic step-up should occur on each Annuity Anniversary by performing a similar examination of the Unadjusted Account Values that occurred on Valuation Days during the year. Taking Lifetime Withdrawals could produce a greater difference between your Protected Withdrawal Value and your Unadjusted Account Value, which may make a Highest Daily Auto Step-up less likely to occur. At the time that we increase your Annual Income Amount, we also increase your Protected Withdrawal Value to equal the highest daily value upon which your step-up was based only if that results in an increase to the Protected Withdrawal Value. Your Protected Withdrawal Value will never be decreased as a result of an income step-up. If, on the date that we implement a Highest Daily Auto Step-Up to your Annual Income Amount, the charge for Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 has changed for new purchasers, you may be subject to the new charge at the time of such step-up. Prior to increasing your charge for Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 upon a step-up, we would notify you, and give you the opportunity to cancel the automatic step-up feature. If you receive notice of a proposed step-up and accompanying fee increase, you should carefully evaluate whether the amount of the step-up justifies the increased fee to which you will be subject. Any such increased charge will not be greater than the maximum charge set forth in the table entitled “Your Optional Benefit Fees and Charges”. If you are enrolled in a Systematic Withdrawal program, we will not automatically increase the withdrawal amount when there is an increase to the Annual Income Amount. You must notify us in order to increase the withdrawal amount of any Systematic Withdrawal program. Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 does not affect your ability to take withdrawals under your Annuity, or limit your ability to take partial withdrawals that exceed the Annual Income Amount. Under Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0, if your cumulative Lifetime Withdrawals in an Annuity Year are less than or equal to the Annual Income Amount, they will not reduce your Annual Income Amount in subsequent Annuity Years, but any such withdrawals will reduce the Annual Income Amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis in that Annuity Year. If, cumulatively, you withdraw an amount less than the Annual Income Amount in any Annuity Year, you cannot carry over the unused portion of the Annual Income Amount to subsequent Annuity Years. If your cumulative Lifetime Withdrawals in an Annuity Year exceed the Annual Income Amount, your Annual Income Amount in subsequent years will be reduced (except with regard to Required Minimum Distributions for this Annuity that comply with our rules). Because each of the Protected Withdrawal Value and Annual Income Amount is determined in a way that is not solely related to Unadjusted Account Value, it is possible for the Unadjusted Account Value to fall to zero, even though the Annual Income Amount remains. Examples of dollar-for-dollar and proportional reductions, and the Highest Daily Auto Step-Up are set forth below. The values shown here are purely hypothetical, and do not reflect the charges for the Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 or any other fees and charges under the Annuity.
