Days, we are required to return the Purchase Payment to you at that time, unless you specifically consent to our retaining the<br />
Purchase Payment while we gather the required information. Once we obtain the required information, we will invest the Purchase<br />
Payment (and any associated Purchase Credit with respect to the X Series) and issue an Annuity within two (2) Valuation Days.<br />
With respect to your initial Purchase Payment that is pending investment in our separate account, we may hold the amount<br />
temporarily in a suspense account and may earn interest on such amount. You will not be credited with interest during that period.<br />
As permitted by applicable law, the broker-dealer firm through which you purchase your Annuity may forward your initial<br />
Purchase Payment to us prior to approval of your purchase by a registered principal of the firm. These arrangements are subject to<br />
a number of regulatory requirements, including that until such time that the insurer is notified of the firm's principal approval and is<br />
provided with the application, or is notified of the firm principal's rejection, customer funds will be held by the insurer in a<br />
segregated bank account. In addition, the insurer must promptly return the customer's funds at the customer's request prior to the<br />
firm's principal approval or upon the firm's rejection of the application. The monies held in the bank account will be held in a<br />
suspense account within our general account and we may earn interest on amounts held in that suspense account. Contract owners<br />
will not be credited with any interest earned on amounts held in that suspense account. The monies in such suspense account may<br />
be subject to our general creditors. Moreover, because the FINRA rule authorizing the use of such accounts is new, there may be<br />
uncertainty as to the segregation and treatment of such insurance company general account assets under applicable Federal and<br />
State laws.<br />
Additional Purchase Payments: We will apply any additional Purchase Payments (and any associated Purchase Credit with<br />
respect to the X Series) on the Valuation Day that we receive the Purchase Payment at our Service Office in Good Order.<br />
Scheduled Transactions: Scheduled transactions include transfers under Dollar Cost Averaging, the Asset Allocation Program,<br />
Auto-Rebalancing, Systematic Withdrawals, Systematic Investments, Required Minimum Distributions, substantially equal<br />
periodic payments under section 72(t)/72(q) of the Code, and annuity payments. Scheduled transactions are processed and valued<br />
as of the date they are scheduled, unless the scheduled day is not a Valuation Day. In that case, the transaction will be processed<br />
and valued on the next Valuation Day, unless (with respect to Required Minimum Distributions, substantially equal periodic<br />
payments under Section 72(t)/72(q) of the Code, and annuity payments only), the next Valuation Day falls in the subsequent<br />
calendar year, in which case the transaction will be processed and valued on the prior Valuation Day.<br />
Unscheduled Transactions: “Unscheduled” transactions include any other non-scheduled transfers and requests for partial<br />
withdrawals or Free Withdrawals or Surrenders. With respect to certain written requests to withdraw Account Value, we may seek<br />
to verify the requesting Owner's signature. Specifically, we reserve the right to perform a signature verification for (a) any<br />
withdrawal exceeding a certain dollar amount and (b) a withdrawal exceeding a certain dollar amount if the payee is someone other<br />
than the Owner. In addition, we will not honor a withdrawal request in which the requested payee is the Financial Professional or<br />
agent of record. We reserve the right to request a signature guarantee with respect to a written withdrawal request. If we do perform<br />
a signature verification, we will pay the withdrawal proceeds within 7 days after the withdrawal request was received by us in<br />
Good Order, and will process the transaction in accordance with the discussion in “Processing And Valuing Transactions”<br />
Medically-related Surrenders & Death Benefits: Medically-related surrender requests and Death Benefit claims require our<br />
review and evaluation before processing. We price such transactions as of the date we receive at our Service Office in Good Order<br />
all supporting documentation we require for such transactions.<br />
We are generally required by law to pay any surrender request or death benefit claims from the Separate Account within 7 days of<br />
our receipt of your request in Good Order at our Service Office.<br />
Termination of Optional Benefits: In general, if an optional benefit terminates, we will no longer deduct the charge we apply to<br />
purchase the optional benefit. However, for the Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0, Highest Daily Lifetime Income or Highest<br />
Daily Lifetime 6 Plus benefits, if the benefit terminates for any reason other than death or annuitization, we will deduct a final<br />
charge upon termination, based on the number of days since the charge for the benefit was most recently deducted. Certain optional<br />
benefits may be added after you have purchased your Annuity. On the date a charge no longer applies or a charge for an optional<br />
benefit begins to be deducted, your Annuity will become subject to a different charge.<br />
