Security Benefit Total Value AnnuityStatement of UnderstandingThank you for your interest in the Total Value Annuity from Security Benefit Life Insurance Company (SBL). It isimportant for you to read this summary before you decide to purchase the annuity. This summary will help youunderstand the features of the annuity and determine if it will help you meet your financial goals. Once you haveread this summary, please sign the last page to confirm that you understand the annuity and submit thisdocument with your application for the annuity and the Annuity Suitability Form.For more specific information, please refer to the annuity contract, and its attached riders and endorsements, as itcontains the terms of the annuity.What is the Total Value Annuity?The Total Value Annuity (TVA) is a flexible premium, deferred fixed index annuity with a Bonus, SurrenderCharge, Bonus Recapture and, in most states, a Market Value Adjustment (MVA). The Surrender Charge, BonusRecapture, and if applicable, MVA, apply for 10 contract years*. Accordingly, you should only purchase the TVA ifyou do not expect to need the funds in the next 10 years*, other than amounts available through free withdrawals.The TVA is designed to be held for the long term.Also available with the TVA is (i) the optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Rider - the Income Rider or(ii) the optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider - the Death Benefit Rider. Only one of these riders maybe purchased, and they cannot be cancelled.What are the key terms I need to know to understand the Total Value Annuity?The following terms are keys to understanding the Total Value Annuity:Account Value: is the value of your Total Value Annuity, and is the sum of the Fixed Account Value and theIndex Account Values.Bonus: is an amount added to your Account Value related to purchase payments received by SBL in the firstcontract year.Bonus Recapture: is a charge that reduces the amount of previously credited Bonus and reduces theamount available from your annuity during the Surrender Charge Period. Thus, if you surrender your annuityduring the Surrender Charge Period, all or part of the Bonus credited will be taken away.Cap: The maximum amount of interest that may be credited for a particular time period.Current Interest Rate: is the interest rate applied to your Fixed Account Value. It will never be less than theGMIR.Five year Index Account: refers to either the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account or the TransparentValue Blended Index Account options.Fixed Account Value: is the amount allocated to the Fixed Account.Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate or GMIR: is the minimum annual interest rate that is used to computethe Guaranteed Minimum Cash Surrender Value and is the minimum interest rate for the Fixed Account.Index Account: are the accounts we establish when you allocate your Account Value to the S&P 500 ®Annual Point to Point Index Account, the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent ValueBlended Index Account. For both the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account and the Transparent ValueBlended Index Account, because of the five-year Index Term, we may establish more than one Index Accountif you allocate to either five year index account on the date you purchase your annuity and on future contractanniversaries.Index Account Value: is the amount allocated to the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account, the 5Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account.Index Interest Rate: is the interest rate based on the change of an index and credited on the Index AccountValue.*9 years for contracts issued in CT and DE.Page 1 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Index Term: is the period for each Index Account during which you may not transfer out of an Index Accountand at the end of which the Index Interest Rate is computed and credited (except for interim interest on the5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account and the Transparent Value Blended Index Account).Market Value Adjustment or MVA: is an increase or decrease of the amount available for withdrawals or, inmost states, annuitization as a result of the change in the interest rate environment since your contract wasissued. It applies during the Surrender Charge Period.Spread: the difference between the percentage change on underlying index value and the interest creditedto the Index Account for a particular time period.Surrender Charge: is a charge that reduces the amount available from your annuity during the SurrenderCharge Period.Surrender Charge Period: is the first 10 contract years (9 years for contracts issued in CT and DE).What do I pay for the Total Value Annuity?To purchase the Total Value Annuity, you must pay an initial amount or "purchase payment." The minimum initialpurchase payment is $25,000. As a flexible premium annuity, you may make subsequent purchase payments tothe annuity of at least $1,000. The maximum purchase payment is $1,000,000 without prior company approval.Can I change my mind after purchasing the Total Value Annuity?Yes, many states have laws that give you a specific number of days to You can return your annuity:review an annuity after you buy it. If you decide during that time that you During the free look period.do not want the annuity, you can return it and receive back your entire If you do, you will receive yourpurchase payment less any withdrawals. Read the cover page of yourentire Purchase Payment, withcontract to learn about your free look period. If your contract replaced ano penalty.previous annuity contract owned by you, the free look period may be You will not receive the Bonus.different than that listed on the cover page of your contract (varies bystate). If so, there will be an additional notice for the free look period that was included with your contract.What is the Bonus?The "Bonus" is an amount we add to your Account Value for purchase payments we receive in the first contractyear. The Bonus is equal to the purchase payments we receive in your first contract year multiplied by the Bonusrate. The Bonus rate depends on the state in which you purchase the contract, whether you purchased a rider,and for the Death Benefit Rider, your age.StatesAll states except AK, IN, ME, MN, MO, NH, NJ, NV, OH, CA, FL CT, DEthose listed at right OR, PA, SC, TX, UT, WABonus 7% 5% 6% 2%Bonus with Income RiderPurchaseBonus with Death BenefitRider Purchase*8% 6% 7% 2%7% 5% 6% 2%*If a Death Benefit Rider is purchased and you are 76 or older, the Bonus is reduced by 1%. The Bonus rateremains the same with the purchase of either Rider in CT or DE.Bonus annuities may use factors to determine interest rates that result in lower interest credited in futureyears, have higher surrender charges, and longer surrender charge periods or other charges than similarannuities without a bonus or other charges. The reduction of interest or higher charges may exceed theamount of the bonus.What interest crediting options are available under the Total Value Annuity?Under the TVA, you may select among four different interest crediting options: the Fixed Account and the threeIndex Accounts – the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account, the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI IndexAccount and the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. You may allocate purchase payments along withBonus among the Fixed Account and Index Accounts in whole percentages.Page 2 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

What is the Fixed Account?The Fixed Account is an interest crediting option that guarantees to credit a fixed interest rate. We declare aCurrent Interest Rate equal to at least the GMIR. At the time we issue you your contract, we set the GMIRand it will be shown in your contract. The GMIR will be at least 1%. Interest is credited daily on your FixedAccount Value.What is the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account?The S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account is an interest crediting option that credits interest basedon the change in the S&P 500 ® Index up to a cap. At the end of each Index Term, the Index Interest Rate isdetermined and is credited on your S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account Value. The Index InterestRate will never be less than 0%. For the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account, the Index Term is theperiod starting on your contract date or contract anniversary and ending on the earliest of: (i) your nextcontract anniversary; or (ii) the date due proof of death is received by SBL. In certain cases we may terminatethe S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account. If any amounts are withdrawn from the S&P 500 ® AnnualPoint to Point Index Account before the end of the Index Term, including for a surrender, the Index InterestRate is not credited on those amounts.How is the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account Index Interest Rate computed?You are not investing in and your premiums are not being invested in the S&P 500 ® or any equitysecurities. As such, the interest credited for the Index Account does not equal the change in the S&P500 ® Index.For the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account, we compute the Index Interest Rate at the end ofeach Index Term based upon the change in the index value at the start and the end of your Index Term,up to a cap. The ending index value for one Index Term will be the starting index value for the next IndexTerm. If the index value is not available for any day, we use the index value reported on the priorbusiness day to that day.We compute the difference in the starting and ending index values for the Index Term. If the difference ispositive, we divide that difference by the Index Term's starting index value to determine the percentagechange in the index value for the Index Term. We then compare the percentage change to the cap anduse the lower of the percentage change or the cap as the Index Interest Rate. If the difference in thebeginning and ending index values is negative, the Index Interest Rate is 0%.The cap is the maximum Index Interest Rate that we will credit for the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account. At the time we issue your contract, we set the initial cap and the guaranteed minimum capand they are shown in your contract. Each Index Term, we may change the cap, but it will never be lessthan the guaranteed minimum cap indicated in your contract.Example - Index Interest Rate at the end of the Index Term:Assume that (i) Mary was issued a contract on February 1, 2011, (ii) on February 1, 2011, the S&P 500 ®Annual Point to Point Index Account Value was $100,000, (iii) Mary did not take any withdrawals duringthe Index Term, (iv) the cap was 1%, (v) on February 1, 2011, the index value of the S&P 500 ® Index was1,000, and (vi) On February 1, 2012, the index value of the S&P 500 ® Index was 1,100, then:Difference in Index Value =S&P 500 ® IndexEnding Index Value-S&P 500 ® IndexBeginning Index Value100 = 1100 - 1000Because the difference is positive, we determine the percentage change as follows:Percentage Changein Index Value= Difference in Index Value ÷ Beginning Index Value10% = 100 ÷ 1000We then compare the percentage change to the cap and use the lower of the two. Because the 1% cap islower than the 10% change in the index value, the Index Interest Rate for the S&P 500 ® Annual Point toPoint Index Account for the year would be 1% and the index interest would be $1,000. Thus, Mary’sending S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account Value would be $101,000.Page 3 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

This example is only to show how the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account IndexInterest Rate and index interest are computed and does not reflect what the interest would be foryour annuity.What is the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account?The 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account is a unique index crediting option available only through SBLthat is based upon the change in the Annuity Linked TVI Index, which is reduced by the annual spread,currently 0.75% annually, and multiplied by a participation rate.What is the Annuity Linked TVI Index?The Index Interest Rate for the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account is based on the Annuity LinkedTVI Index. The Annuity Linked TVI Index is an index that is based upon the Trader Vic Index ExcessReturn index (TVI) modified by an index cost fee and a volatility control overlay. The Annuity Linked TVIIndex is a published index with the Bloomberg ticker "ALTVI:IND". The TVI is a published index onBloomberg with the symbol "TVICTR:IND."The TVI was launched by the Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. (RBS) and EAM Partners LP (EAM). RBSserves as the calculation agent for the TVI and the Annuity Linked TVI Index. The TVI is an indexthat measures the movements in prices of futures contracts on physical commodities, global currenciesand U.S. interest rates that are publicly traded on a U.S. exchange that publishes the contracts’ dailysettlement prices.In computing the index value of the Annuity Linked TVI Index, RBS deducts from the TVI an index cost.The index cost is a charge by RBS to compute the Annuity Linked TVI Index. The index cost is deductedin computing the daily values of the Annuity Linked TVI Index at the rate of 125 basis points per annum.The volatility control overlay is a rules-based adjustment applied in computing the daily values of theAnnuity Linked TVI Index. It measures how much the TVI’s price is changing. The volatility controloverlay reduces the impact of a fall in price, as well as increases in the price of the TVI. The volatilityoverlay will also reduce SBL's hedge costs for the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account. The indexcost and volatility overlay reduce the potential positive change in the Annuity Linked TVI Index and theIndex Interest Rate for the Annuity Linked TVI Index Account.Because the TVI is based on the 24 futures contracts on commodities, global currencies and U.S.interest rates, the daily values of the TVI are likely to be independent from the price movement of equityand bond indices. In addition, unlike traditional equity and bond indices that increase and decrease whenequities and bonds increase and decrease, the TVI can increase in value when the futures contractprices are decreasing. Because it is based on the TVI, the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Accountprovides you with the opportunity to receive index interest credits in times when an index crediting optionbased on equity or bond markets would not.What is the Transparent Value Blended Index Account?The Transparent Value Blended Index Account is another unique index crediting option, available onlythrough SBL. It is based upon the Transparent Value Blended Index℠ (“TVBI”), which is reduced by theannual spread, currently 1.25% annually, and multiplied by a participation rate.What is the Transparent Value Blended Index℠?The Transparent Value Blended Index℠ is part of the Transparent Value Index℠ family—a series ofquantitative strategy indexes offered by Transparent Value LLC ® using rules-based published analytics.The Transparent Value Indexes℠ are designed to measure the performance of investment strategiesbased on the criteria established by Transparent Value LLC ® for the valuation of publicly tradedcompanies.The Transparent Value Blended Index℠ reallocates weights between the Price Return version of theTransparent Value Large-Cap Defensive Index℠ without dividends (“Stock”) and the S&P 2-Year U.S.Treasury Note Futures Total Return Index (“Bond”).Components of the Transparent Value Large-Cap Defensive Index, which consists of 100 stocks chosenfrom the 750 stocks in the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market Index, are selected in partbased on their RBP ® probabilities. RBP ® , which stands for Required Business Performance ® , iscalculated by using a reverse discounted cash flow approach to determine the future businessperformance required by a company to support its current stock price. RBP ® probabilities measure thePage 4 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

likelihood that a company can deliver the required business performance identified by applying themethodology over specified time periods.The S&P ® 2-Year U.S. Treasury Note Futures Total Return Index tracks the performance of a portfoliothat holds the nearest maturity 2-Year U.S. Treasury Note futures contract.The allocation between the two component indexes is calculated daily and the stock selection in theTransparent Value Large Cap Defensive Index℠ is rebalanced quarterly. The goal of the TransparentValue Blended Index℠ is to actively reallocate between the components depending on changing marketconditions and volatility. During the times of increased stock market volatility followed by marketdownturn TVBI immediately allocates a larger portion to the Bond Index, while favoring the Stock Indexduring market upswings.General Information Regarding the 5 year Index AccountsAt the end of each Index Term, the Index Interest Rate is determined and is credited on the 5 year IndexAccount Value. Any amount of a withdrawal (including Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, and MVA),deduction for rider charges, or amount for annuitization taken from the 5 Year Index after the firstanniversary of the start of the Index Term but before the end of the Index Term, receives interim indexcredits that are based upon a vesting percentage. The Index Interest Rate will never be less than 0%,however, it is possible that no interest could be credited at the conclusion of a 5 year Index Account'sIndex Term.Because both 5 year Indexes have multi-year terms, no transfers from either the 5 Year Annuity LinkedTVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account are permitted before the end of theIndex Term. For both 5 year Index Accounts, the Index Term is the period starting on the contract date orcontract anniversary and ending on the earliest of: (i) the fifth anniversary of the start of the Index Term or(ii) the date due proof of death is received by SBL. In certain situations we may terminate both 5 YearIndexes.How is the Index Interest Rate computed for a 5 year Index Account?For a 5 year Index Account, we compute the Index Interest Rate at the end of each Index Term basedupon the change in the Index from the start and at the end of the Index Term, or in computing interimindex interest, the relevant date. In computing the Index Interest Rate, an annual spread currently applies(the specific spreads applicable to each of the 5 year Index Accounts are set forth above), and aparticipation rate may also apply in the future. We set the annual spread and participation rate at thebeginning of each Index Term. The annual spread is guaranteed to never be more than 5% annually or25% for the entire Index Term. The participation rate is guaranteed to never be less than 50%. Inaddition, in computing the interim index interest, the computation is the same except that a vestingpercentage also applies. The vesting percentage is:Vesting Percentage When Applicable Based on Start of Index Term20% On the 1st anniversary and before 2nd anniversary40% On the 2nd anniversary and before 3rd anniversary60% On the 3rd anniversary and before 4th anniversary80% On the 4th anniversary and before 5th anniversary100% On the 5th anniversaryWe compute the Index Interest Rate for a 5 year Index Account as follows:Step 1. Compute the percentage change in the index value of the Index over the relevant period.Step 2. Subtract five years' of annual spread from the result in Step 1. If interim index interest is beingdetermined, this would be based on the amount of days that have elapsed since the start of the IndexTerm.Step 3. Multiply the participation rate by the result in Step 2.Step 4. If interim index interest is being determined for a withdrawal (including Bonus Recapture,Surrender Charge, and MVA), deduction for rider charges, or for annuitization prior to the end of the IndexPage 5 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Term, multiply the applicable vesting percentage, based on the amount of time elapsed since the start ofthe Index Term.Example – Index Interest Rate at the end of the Index Term:Assume that (i) Bill was issued a contract on February 1, 2011, (ii) on February 1, 2011, Index AccountValue was $100,000, (iii) Bill did not take any withdrawals and no rider charges were deducted during theIndex Term, (iv) on February 1, 2011, the index value of the Index was 1,000, (v) on February 1, 2016,the index value of the Index was 1,500, (vi) the annual spread was 3%, and (vii) the participation rate was100%, then:Step 1: Compute the percentage index changeDifference in IndexValue= Index Ending Index Value - Index Beginning Index Value500 = 1500 - 1000Because the difference is positive, we determine the percentage change as follows:Percentage Changein Index Value= Difference in Index Value ÷ Index Beginning Index Value50% = 500 ÷ 1000Step 2: Subtract the annual spread from Step 1Because for this example an annual spread of 3% applies, we subtract five years' of annual spread fromthe percentage change in the Index Value. Five years' of annual spread would be 15%. Subtracting 15%from Step 2 would be:= Step 1 - Five Years' of Annual Spread35% = 50% - 15%Step 3: Multiply the participation rate by the result of Step 2The percentage change in the index value, less the annual spread, is then multiplied by the participationrate. Because the participation rate is 100%, the Index Interest Rate for the Index Account would be 35%and the index interest would be $35,000. Thus, Bill’s ending Index Account Value would be $135,000.This example is only to show how the 5 year Index Interest Rate and index interest are computedand does not reflect what the interest would be for your annuity.The above example assumes that you only allocate purchase payments to either the 5 YearAnnuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. Under theTotal Value Annuity, you may allocate a percentage of your purchase payments to the FixedAccount and each of the Index Accounts.Example – Index Interest Rate for a withdrawal prior to the end of the Index Term:Assume that (i) Bill was issued a contract on February 1, 2011 and allocated his entire PurchasePayment to a 5 Year Index Account, (ii) on February 1, 2011, the Index Account Value was $100,000, (iii)on August 1, 2013 (two and one-half years after the beginning of the Index Term), Bill took a withdrawalthat reduced the Index Account Value by $10,000 (including Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, andMVA), (iv) on February 1, 2011, the value of the Index was 1,000, (v) on August 1, 2013, the value of theIndex was 1,200, (vi) the annual spread was 3%, and (vii) the participation rate was 100%, then:Step 1: Compute the percentage index changeDifference in Index Value = Index Ending Index Value - Index Beginning Index Value200 = 1200 - 1000Page 6 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Because the difference is positive, we determine the percentage change as follows:Percentage Change in IndexValue= Difference in Index Value ÷ Index Beginning Index Value20% = 200 ÷ 1000Step 2: Subtract annual spread from Step 1For this example, because an annual spread of 3% applies, we then subtract two and one-half years' ofannual spread from the percentage change in the index value. Two and one-half years' of annual spreadwould be 7.5%. Subtracting 7.5% from step 2 would be:= Step 1 -Two and One-Half Years' ofAnnual Spread12.5% = 20% - 7.5%Step 3: Multiply the participation rate by the result of Step 2The percentage change in the index value, less the annual spread, is then multiplied by the participationrate. Because the participation rate is 100%, this would result in 12.5%.Step 4: Because the withdrawal occurred during the index term, apply the vesting percentageBecause Bill’s withdrawal occurred after the second anniversary and before the third anniversary of thestart of the Index Term, the vesting percentage would be 40% and it is applied to the result in Step 3.Index Interest Rate = Step 3 x Vesting Percentage5% = 12.5% x 40%Thus, the Index Interest Rate used to determine the interim index interest credit would be 5%.To determine the Index Account Value after the withdrawal:Index Account ValueAfter the Withdrawal=Index Account ValueBefore the Withdrawal-Amount of Withdrawal / (1 +interim Index Interest Rate)$90,476.19 = $100,000 - 10,000 / (1.05)This example is only to show how the Index Interest Rate and index interest, and the reduction tothe Index Account Value are computed and does not reflect what the interest would be for yourannuity.The above example assumes that you only allocate purchase payments to either the 5 YearAnnuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. Under theTotal Value Annuity, you may allocate a percentage of your purchase payments to the FixedAccount and each of the Index Accounts.Can I change how interest is credited under my contract?Yes, after each contract anniversary we will send you a notice about the Fixed Account Value and Index AccountValues available to be transferred and information on the interest crediting options then available. You mustrequest the transfer of Account Value as of the applicable contract anniversary on a form accepted and receivedby SBL on or before the 21st day after that contract anniversary. Any request for transfer received after such datewill not be honored and the allocation of the Account Value will remain the same, unless SBL ceases to offer anIndex Account in which Account Value is held. If you do not request a transfer, the allocation of the Account Valuewill remain the same, unless SBL ceases to offer an Index Account in which the Account Value is held. If SBLceases to offer an Index Account in which Account Value is held and a transfer request is not received by SBL intime or a transfer is not requested, SBL will transfer the Index Account Value in that Index Account to the FixedAccount.No Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, or any MVA applies to transfers.Page 7 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

What is the value of my annuity?For the TVA, we compute your Account Value and your Cash Surrender Value. The greater of the Account Valueand Cash Surrender Value is used to determine the amount received upon the death of the owner/annuitant andthe death of the joint owner who is the spouse of the annuitant. The Cash Surrender Value is used to determinethe amount received upon a surrender of the TVA, applied to an annuity option, or paid as a result of the death ofthe joint owner who is not the spouse of the annuitant.The "Account Value" equals the sum of the Fixed Account Value and the IndexAccount Values. The Fixed Account Value and Index Account Values includeinterest credited and take into account withdrawals or annuitization, including theBonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, and any MVA that is applied to thewithdrawals or annuitization, premium tax and rider charge.The "Cash Surrender Value" is equal to the greater of:(i) The Guaranteed Minimum Cash Surrender Value or(ii) The Account Value, (a) minus any Surrender Charge, (b) minus any Bonus Recapture, (c) minus anypremium or other taxes that apply, including federal tax withholding, and (d) minus any rider charge thatapplies and (e) in most states, plus or minus any MVA.The "Guaranteed Minimum Cash Surrender Value" is equal to 87.5% of the purchase payments, increased byinterest credited at the GMIR, less withdrawals, and less premium or other taxes that apply.What is a Bonus Recapture?A Bonus Recapture is a charge that reduces the amount of previously credited Bonus that applies during theSurrender Charge Period. The Bonus Recapture varies by contract year and is based upon the state whereyou purchase your contract.The Bonus Recapture provision is not applicable to contracts issued in CT or DE.If you take money from yourTotal Value Annuity duringthe surrender charge period,a surrender charge, bonusrecapture and a MarketValue Adjustment may apply.Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11+All states except thoselisted below100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0%AK, IN, MN, MO, NH, NJ,NV, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX,UT, WA100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0%What is the Surrender Charge?The Surrender Charge is a charge that reduces the amount available from your annuity during the SurrenderCharge Period.

What is a Market Value Adjustment?The MVA applies during the Surrender Charge Period. The MVA is based on the interest rate market at the timeyou purchase your contract and when the MVA applies, measured by the 10-year Constant Maturity Treasuryinterest rate. If interest rates in the market are lower by 0.25% or less, or if the market interest rates are higherthan when you purchase your contract, an additional amount is deducted. If market interest rates are lower bymore than 0.25% than when you purchase your contract, an additional amount is added. The 0.25% thresholddoes not apply to contracts issued in Connecticut.The MVA does not apply in Alaska, California, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, NewJersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington.Examples of the Market Value AdjustmentThese examples show how the Market Value Adjustment (MVA) increases or decreases the Cash SurrenderValue based on changes in the market interest rate and the GMIR. The MVA is equal to MVA Factor multiplied bythe Account Value less any unvested Bonus, subject to the MVA limit.The MVA Factor is: [[(1 + i0) / (1 + i1 + 0.0025*)]^T] - 1Where:i0 = 10-year treasury rate on the date prior to the contract date;i1 = 10-year treasury rate on the date prior to the withdrawal; andT = the number of whole and fraction years until the end of the surrender charge period.*The 0.0025 in the MVA Factor is not applicable in Connecticut.The examples assume:$100,000 Purchase Payment allocated 50% to the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account and 50% to theTransparent Value Blended Index Account with the following index interest rates for each Index Account:5 Year Annuity Linked TVI IndexAccountTransparent Value Blended Index AccountYear 1 0.00% 0.00%Year 2 0.00% 0.00%Year 3 0.00% 0.00%Year 4 0.00% 0.00%Year 5 0.00% 42.79% The surrender occurs at the start of the sixth contract year. The TVA was sold in Kansas. Therefore at thebeginning of the sixth year the surrender charge is 9% and the Bonus Recapture is 100%. At the beginning of the sixth contract year, the Account Value is $131,107.Page 9 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

The MVA limit is based upon the Guaranteed Minimum Cash Surrender Value. The Guaranteed Minimum Cash SurrenderValue is based on the GMIR. The MVA limit based on different GMIRs is shown below:3% GMIRThe MVA limit is $11,639.2% GMIRThe MVA limit is $16,946.1% GMIRThe MVA limit is $22,049.Interest Rate Increase – MVA ReductionMarket interest rate at purchase = 6%Market interest rate at surrender = 8%First Step – Compute the MVA:MVA = the MVA Factor multiplied by the AccountValue minus the bonus recapture.[[(1+.06) / (1+ .08 + .0025)]^5] -1 = -0.099694712The MVA is -$12,273 [-0.099694712 * ($131,107-$8,000)].Second Step – See if MVA Limit Applies:If the GMIR is 3%, the MVA limit applies and thereduction to the Cash Surrender Value for theMVA would be $11,639.If the GMIR is 2%, the MVA limit does not applyand the reduction to the Cash Surrender Value forthe MVA would be $12,273.If the GMIR is 1%, the MVA limit does not applyand the reduction to the Cash Surrender Value forthe MVA would be $12,273.Interest Rate Reduction – MVA IncreaseMarket interest rate at purchase = 6%Market interest rate at surrender = 4%First Step – Compute the MVA:MVA = the MVA Factor multiplied by the AccountValue minus the bonus recapture.[[(1+.06) / (1+.04 + .0025)]^5] -1 = 0.086798444The MVA is $10,686 [0.086798444 * ($131,107-$8,000)].Second Step – See if MVA Limit Applies:If the GMIR is 3%, the MVA limit does not apply,and the increase to the Cash Surrender Value forthe MVA would be $10,686.If the GMIR is 2%, the MVA limit does not apply,and the increase to the Cash Surrender Value forthe MVA would be $10,686.If the GMIR is 1%, the MVA limit does not apply,and the increase to the Cash Surrender Value forthe MVA would be $10,686.A surrender charge,bonus recapture andMarket Value Adjustmentapply to any partialwithdrawal, surrender orwhen annuity payoutsstart,* unless: The total amountwithdrawn during thecontract year is equal toor less than the FreeWithdrawal amount; The surrender chargeperiod no longer applies. If you qualify for theNursing Home orTerminal Illness Waiver.*In Florida, these do not applywhen annuity payouts start.When do the Market Value Adjustment, Surrender Charge, and BonusRecapture apply?In all states except those listed below, the Surrender Charge, Bonus Recapture, andan MVA apply during the Surrender Charge Period if: (i) you surrender your contract;(ii) you take withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount; (iii) a payment ismade upon the death of a joint owner who is not the spouse of the annuitant; or (iv)you apply your contract to an annuity option.In Alaska, California, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, NewJersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington,the Surrender Charge and Bonus Recapture apply if: (i) you surrender your contract;(ii) you take withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount; or (iii) a payment ismade upon the death of a joint owner who is not the spouse of the annuitant. NoMVA applies.In Florida, the Surrender Charge, Bonus Recapture, and an MVA apply during theSurrender Charge Period if: (i) you surrender your contract; (ii) you take withdrawalsin excess of the free withdrawal amount; or (iii) a payment is made upon the death ofa joint owner who is not the spouse of the annuitant. If you apply your contract to anannuity option, in Florida, only the Bonus Recapture applies. Additionally, limitedannuity options are available for contracts annuitized during the Surrender ChargePeriod in Florida.Page 10 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

During the Surrender Charge Period, the Surrender Charge, Bonus Recapture, and MVA do not apply if yousatisfy conditions in the Nursing Home Waiver or Terminal Illness Waiver, if allowed in your state after thewaiting period.Rider charge and premium taxWe deduct any rider charge as well as any premium tax from the Fixed Account. If any rider charges orpremium tax is not fully paid from the Fixed Account, then we deduct the unpaid portion pro rata from theAccount Value held in all Index Accounts with the same term, starting with the shortest term Index Accounts.For example, the unpaid portion is deducted first from the Account Value held in the S&P 500 ® Annual Pointto Point Index Account and then pro rata from the Account Value held in the 5 year Index Accounts. The prorata amounts are based upon the Index Account Values and the Account Value as of the date the ridercharge, premium tax or both are deducted. If no funds are left in either the Fixed Account or the S&P 500 ®Annual Point to Point Index Account and you have purchased either the Income Rider or the Death BenefitRider, the rider charge will be deducted pro rata from the 5 year Index Accounts. The amount of rider chargededucted from the 5 year Index Accounts may not receive any index interest or may only receive interim indexinterest, which is subject to a vesting percentage.How can I access funds from my annuity?You may request funds from your annuity at any time. During the Surrender Charge Period, the SurrenderCharge, Bonus Recapture, and in most states, MVA, may apply if you access funds from your annuity. When yourequest funds from your annuity you may select from which interest crediting options we take the funds. If you donot make a selection, we will take the funds in the same way we deduct the rider charge and premium tax.Can I access funds from my annuity without any fees or charges?After the first contract year, you may take free withdrawals each contract year. After the first contract year, thetotal amount that you may withdraw as a free withdrawal in any contract year is 10% of the Account Value asof the beginning of the contract year.Limits:1. On a surrender during the Surrender Charge Period, the Surrender Charge, Bonus Recapture, and inmost states, MVA, applies to the entire amount surrendered; and2. During the Surrender Charge Period, the Surrender Charge, Bonus Recapture, and in most states, MVAwill be applied to the decrease in the Account Value with respect to all free withdrawals if within the 12months after the free withdrawal (i) a surrender is taken, or (ii) a death payment is made as a result of thedeath of the joint owner who is not the spouse of the annuitant; or (iii) the annuity contract is annuitized (ifpermitted during the Surrender Charge Period).What annuity income may I take from my annuity?If you do not select a payoutUnder your annuity, you may receive annuity payments from your annuity option, the Life with 10-Yearbased on the eight different annuityFixed Period Option applies. Upoptions we currently offer, except in Florida. If you purchased the annuity in to 30 days prior to the annuityFlorida, (i) if you decide to take annuity payments during the Surrender start date, you may change theCharge Period, you may only elect options 1 through 4 or option 8 and; (ii) if payout option.you decide to take annuity payments after the Surrender Charge Period, youmay elect any one of the eight options. The annuity options are:Option 1 Life Option: For the life of the annuitant. Upon death, no further payments will be made.Option 2 Life with Fixed Period Option: For the later of: (i) life of the annuitant or (ii) the end of a 5, 10, 15,or 20 contract year period that you choose.*Option 3Life with Installment or Unit Refund Option: For the later of: (i) life of the annuitant or (ii) the endof the period equal to the annuity start amount divided by the first payment.*Page 11 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Option 4Joint and Last Survivor Option: For as long as either the annuitant or joint annuitant is living.Option 5 Fixed Period Option: For a fixed number of contract years between 5 and 20.*Option 6Option 7Option 8Fixed Payment Option: Of a fixed amount. If the annuitant dies before the amount applied plusdaily interest credits is paid, the beneficiary receives the remaining annuity payments.Period Certain Option: Until the end of a 10, 15, or 20 contract year period that you choose.*Joint and Contingent Survivor Option: For the life of the primary annuitant and if the jointannuitant is living at the death of the primary annuitant, for the life of the joint annuitant.*If the annuitant dies before the end of the period, the beneficiary receives the remaining annuity payments.If you do not choose a payout option, the Life with 10-Year Fixed Period Option applies. Up to 30 days prior to theannuity start date, you may change the payout option. After the 30 days prior to the annuity start date, the CashSurrender Value will be applied to the annuity option and you cannot change the payout option or surrender yourannuity.When may I begin receiving annuity payments?When you may begin receiving annuity payments depends upon theterms of your contract. If your contract is issued in:For all states other than those listed below:You may begin receiving annuity payments on the later of: (i)the contract anniversary following the annuitant’s 95 th birthdayor (ii) the 26th contract anniversary.For Florida: The Income Rider guarantees that ifyou withdraw only a set amounteach year, called the LifetimeAnnual Income, this amount will beavailable for the rest of your life. The Income Rider allows you tochoose the starting point – theIncome Phase Start Date – atwhich to begin receiving LifetimeAnnual Income.While the contract will state a maturity date, you may request tochange the date to any day after the first contract anniversary and prior to the contract anniversaryfollowing the annuitant's 95 th birthday so long as we receive written notice at least 30 days prior to the dayannuity payments are to begin.For Alaska, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon,Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington:Annuity payments may begin on any date after the Surrender Charge Period has elapsed so long as wereceive the written request at least 30 days prior to the day annuity payments are to begin. Annuitypayments must begin by the contract anniversary following the annuitant's 95 th birthday.What happens upon a death?If you apply the entire value of your contract to an annuity option, then upon the death of an annuitant, we willcontinue to make annuity payments, if any, as may apply under the annuity option chosen.If you have not applied the entire value of your contract to an annuity option, then an amount is payable under thecontract upon the death of the annuitant or the owner. The amount payable depends upon who died. If theannuitant dies, the amount payable is the greater of: (i) the Cash Surrender Value or (ii) the Account Value. If thejoint owner dies, the amount payable is equal to the Cash Surrender Value, unless the joint owner is the spouseof the annuitant. In that case, the amount payable is the greater of: (i) the Cash Surrender Value or (ii) theAccount Value. In certain circumstances, the contract can be continued.What benefit riders or endorsements are available?The Nursing Home Waiver and Terminal Illness Waiver endorsements are included with your annuity for noadditional fee or charge. In addition, you may purchase the optional Income Rider or the optional Death BenefitRider, but not both.Page 12 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Stacking Roll-up: is the rate by which the Income Benefit Base increases during the Stacking Roll-up Term.It is not interest credited to your Account Value.Stacking Roll-up Term: begins on your contract issue date and ends on the 10th contract anniversary,unless renewed for another 10 years, until you reach age 85, start taking Lifetime Annual Income or theAccount Value is zero. If you purchase the TVA and Income Rider after age 75, the Stacking Roll-up Termwill be less than 10 years.If I purchase the Income Rider, when can I take withdrawals?You have the flexibility to take withdrawals whenever you like. However, the timing and the amount of thewithdrawal may cause your Lifetime Annual Income to be reduced. In fact, withdrawals could reduce your LifetimeAnnual Income to zero.How do withdrawals impact the guarantees under the Income Rider?Under the Income Rider, treatment of withdrawals is based upon whether thewithdrawal is made before or after the date you start Lifetime Annual Income. Youselect when you want to start your Lifetime Annual Income. If you elect to take withdrawals prior to starting Lifetime Annual Income, thewithdrawals will cause your Lifetime Annual Income to be lower than if you hadnot taken the withdrawals.Taking withdrawalsother than the LifetimeAnnual Income willreduce your benefitsunder the GLWBRider. If you elect to take withdrawals after you start your Lifetime Annual Income that are equal to or less thanyour Lifetime Annual Income, the withdrawals will not reduce your Lifetime Annual Income. If you elect to take withdrawals after you start your Lifetime Annual Income that are in excess of theLifetime Annual Income, the withdrawals will reduce your subsequent Lifetime Annual Income.How much is my Lifetime Annual Income?Your Lifetime Annual Income is the maximum amount that can be withdrawn each contract year without reducingor eliminating the guarantee of the Income Rider. Lifetime Annual Income is the greater of:1. The Income Benefit Base multiplied by the applicable Lifetime Withdrawal Rate; and2. The RMD Annual Income Amount.Note that since the RMD Annual Income Amount is calculated on a calendar year basis, and Lifetime AnnualIncome determined using the Income Benefit Base is calculated on a contract year basis, (i) it is possible thatyou could take out two RMDs during one contract year and (ii) the actual Lifetime Annual Income may changeduring a contract year due to changes in the RMD Annual Income Amount. The RMD Annual Income Amountis determined by us based solely on the values under your contract using the IRS Uniform Lifetime table orJoint Life and Survivor Expectancy table. It does not apply to amounts required to be distributed following thequalified annuity owner's death.The Lifetime Withdrawal Rate is based upon your age on the Income Phase Start Date and whether single lifeor joint lives are covered. If joint lives are covered, it is based on the younger age of you or your spouse (ordomestic or civil union partner in certain states) on the Income Phase Start Date. Once Lifetime AnnualIncome begins, your Lifetime Withdrawal Rate is set and does not change. A single life Lifetime WithdrawalRate starts at 3.80% for age 50 and increases 0.10% each year up to 7.80% at age 90. For joint lives, theLifetime Withdrawal Rate is 0.70% lower than the corresponding single life Lifetime Withdrawal Rate.Lifetime Annual Income is computed on:1. The Income Start Date;2. Each contract anniversary;3. When a request for the Home Healthcare Doubler is received; and4. When Excess Withdrawals are taken.For example, assume that (i) Mary elected her Income Phase Start Date, (ii) the Account Value on the IncomePhase Start Date was $100,000, (iii) the Income Benefit Base on the Income Phase Start Date was $120,000, (iv)Mary elected a single life payout option, (v) the contract was an IRA contract, (vi) the RMD Annual IncomeAmount for the current calendar year was $8,000, and (vii) Mary was 75.Mary’s Income Benefit Base on the Income Phase Start Date would be the greater of the Account Value($100,000) or the Income Benefit Base ($120,000). Accordingly, the Income Benefit Base would be $120,000. Atage 75, the Lifetime Withdrawal Rate is 6.3%. The Lifetime Withdrawal Rate (6.3%) is multiplied by the IncomeBenefit Base ($120,000) to equal $7,560.Page 14 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Lifetime Annual Income is the greater of $7,560 or the RMD Annual Income Amount of $8,000. Because the RMDAnnual Income Amount is greater, Mary’s Lifetime Annual Income is $8,000.Even if $8,000 is greater than the free withdrawal amount, no Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, or MVA wouldapply.This example is only to show how the Lifetime Annual Income is computed and does not reflect what yourLifetime Annual Income would be under your contract.Income Benefit Base, Stacking Roll-up, and Interim Roll-upThe Income Benefit Base increases: For purchase payments, including any Bonus on purchase payments inthe first contract year. During the Stacking Roll-up Term, on each contract anniversary for theStacking Roll-up. On each contract anniversary if on that date the Account Value is greaterthan the Income Benefit Base after any Stacking Roll-up, for a step-up ofthe Income Benefit Base to the Account Value. It may also increase on the Income Phase Start Date for the InterimRoll-up.The Income Benefit Base decreases:A Roll-up is used tocompute the Benefit Base oneach contract anniversaryduring which the Roll-upapplies.The Roll-up is not interestand is not credited to yourAccount Value. You cannotreceive the Roll-up upon asurrender or withdrawal, oras a death benefit. For withdrawals made prior to the Income Phase Start Date, proportionately by the amount of thewithdrawal compared to the Account Value prior to the withdrawal. For an Excess Withdrawal, proportionately by the amount of the Excess Withdrawal compared to theAccount Value prior to the Excess Withdrawal.Note that a withdrawal prior to the Income Phase Start Date and an Excess Withdrawal will reduce the IncomeBenefit Base by more than the amount of the withdrawal or Excess Withdrawal. In addition, any portion of a freewithdrawal in excess of Lifetime Annual Income amount will be an Excess Withdrawal.On and after the Income Phase Start Date, withdrawals in a contract year that in sum are equal to or less thanLifetime Annual Income do not reduce the Income Benefit Base.The Income Benefit Base is not an amount that may be withdrawn and is not an amount payable at deathor that may be annuitized.The Stacking Roll-up increases the Income Benefit Base during the Stacking Roll-up Term. The Stacking Roll-upon each contract anniversary is equal to 4% plus the sum of the interest rates applied to your Account Valueweighted by allocation. The Interim Roll-up is equal to the sum of the Index Interest Rates weighted by allocationto a 5 year Index Account computed on the Income Phase Start Date.How is the Income Benefit Base computed following a withdrawal prior to the Income Phase StartDate or an Excess Withdrawal after the Income Phase Start Date?To compute the Income Benefit Base following a withdrawal prior to the Income Phase Start Date, firstdetermine the percentage the withdrawal (including Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, and MVA)represents of your Account Value by dividing the amount withdrawn (including Bonus Recapture, SurrenderCharge, and MVA and adjusting for interim index credits due to withdrawals from the 5 year Index Accounts)by your Account Value before the withdrawal. Next, reduce the Income Benefit Base by the same percentage.To compute the Income Benefit Base following an Excess Withdrawal after the Income Phase Start Date, firstdetermine the amount of the Excess Withdrawal by subtracting the amount of Lifetime Annual Income fromthe total amount withdrawn. Next, determine the Account Value after withdrawal of Lifetime Annual Income.Then, determine the percentage the Excess Withdrawal (including Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, andMVA) represents of the Account Value. Finally, reduce the Income Benefit Base by the same percentage.Example – Withdrawal Prior to Income Phase Start DateAssume that (i) Bill elected his Income Phase Start Date, (ii) he took a $20,000 withdrawal (includingBonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, and MVA), (iii) the Account Value at the time of his withdrawal was$100,000, and (iv) the Income Benefit Base at the time of his withdrawal was $120,000.Page 15 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

The withdrawal is 20% of the Account Value ($20,000 / $100,000). Accordingly, the Income Benefit Baseis also reduced by 20% or $24,000 ($120,000 x .20) and the new Income Benefit Base is $96,000.This example is only to show how the Income Benefit Base is computed and does not reflect whatit would be for your annuity.Example – Withdrawal of entire Account Value Prior to Income Phase Start DateAssume that (i) Mary did not elect the Income Phase Start Date, (ii) Mary took a $100,000 withdrawal(including Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, and MVA), (iii) the Account Value at the time of herwithdrawal was $100,000, and (iv) the Income Benefit Base at the time of her withdrawal was $120,000.The withdrawal amount is 100% of the Account Value ($100,000 / $100,000). Accordingly, the IncomeBenefit Base is also reduced by 100% or $120,000 ($120,000 x 100%) so the Income Benefit Base isnow $0, which results in the termination of the Income Rider.This example is only to show how the Income Benefit Base is computed and does not reflect whatit would be for your annuity.Example – Excess Withdrawal After Income Phase Start DateAssume that (i) Bill elected his Income Phase Start Date, (ii) the amount of Lifetime Annual Income was$6,600, (iii) after the Income Phase Start Date, Bill took a withdrawal of $26,600 (including BonusRecapture, Surrender Charge, and MVA), (iv) the Account Value at the time of the withdrawal was$106,600, and (v) the Income Benefit Base at the time of the withdrawal was $120,000.The Excess Withdrawal is $20,000 ($26,600 - $6,600). Determine the Account Value before the ExcessWithdrawal by subtracting the amount of Lifetime Annual Income from the Account Value ($106,600 -$6,600). The Excess Withdrawal is 20% of the Account Value prior to the Excess Withdrawal ($20,000 /$100,000). Accordingly, the Income Benefit Base is reduced by 20% or $24,000 ($120,000 x .20) and thenew Income Benefit Base is $96,000.This example is only to show how the Income Benefit Base is computed and does not reflect whatit would be for your annuity.How is the Income Benefit Base computed on a contract anniversary during the Stacking Roll-upTerm?During the Stacking Roll-up Term, on each contract anniversary, the Income Benefit Base is the greater of: (i)the Account Value on the contract anniversary or (ii) the last computed Income Benefit Base increased by theStacking Roll-up. Thus, to compute the Income Benefit Base during the Stacking Roll-up Term, the first stepis to compute the Stacking Roll-up on the contract anniversary.The following steps are taken to determine the Stacking Roll-up on a contract anniversary:Step 1. Determine the "weight" for your contract's allocation among the Fixed Account and each IndexAccount, as applicable, by dividing the Fixed Account Value and each Index Account Value, as applicable, bythe Account Value.Step 2. For a contract anniversary, determine the weighted Fixed Account interest rate and the weightedIndex Account interest rate by multiplying the weight of your contract's allocation to the Fixed Account by thecurrent interest rate that applied that contract year, and the weight of the contract's allocation to each IndexAccount by the Index Interest Rate as determined that contract anniversary. If any amount is allocated to the5 year Index Account, unless the date is the end of the Index Term, the Index Interest Rate will be zero.Step 3. Sum the interest rates weighted by allocation.Step 4. Add the 4% to the sum of the interest rates weighted by allocation calculated in Step 3.Once the Stacking Roll-up is determined, it is applied to the last computed Income Benefit Base. The result iscompared to the Account Value on the contract anniversary to determine the Income Benefit Base.Example – Income Benefit Base on the first contract anniversaryAssume that (i) Mary’s contract was issued on March 1, 2011, (ii) on March 1, 2011, her Account Valueand Income Benefit Base were $100,000, (iii) $50,000 was allocated to the S&P 500 ® Annual Point toPoint Index Account and $50,000 to the 5 year Index Account, (iv) on March 1, 2012, we determined thatPage 16 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account Index Interest Rate was 1%, (v) on March 1, 2012, noindex interest was credited to the 5 year Index Account because it was not the end of its Index Term, (vi)on March 1, 2012, the Account Value was $ $100,500, (vii) Mary had not taken any withdrawals, and (viii)she did not request Lifetime Annual Income.On March 1, 2012, the Stacking Roll-up would be calculated as follows:Step 1. Determine the "weight" for the contract's allocation among the Fixed Account and each IndexAccountFor the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account:Weight of S&P 500 ® AnnualPoint to Point Index Account=S&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account Value÷ Account Value50% = $50,000 ÷ $100,000For the 5 year Index Account:Weight of the 5 year IndexAccount= 5 year Index Account Value ÷ Account Value50% = $50,000 ÷ $100,000Step 2. Compute the interest rate weighted by allocation for the Fixed Account and each Index Account,as applicableFor the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account:Weighted Interest Rate ofthe S&P 500 ® Annual Pointto Point Index Account=S&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account Value WeightxIndex Interest Rate for the S&P500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account0.5% = 50% x 1%For the 5 year Index Account:Weighted Interest Rate of 5year Index Account=5 year Index Account ValueWeightxInterest Rate for the 5 yearIndex Account0% = 50% x 0%**The Index Interest Rate is zero due to the fact that interest is only credited at the end of an Index Termand on March 1, 2012, the 5 year Index Account is not at the end of an Index Term.Step 3. Compute the sum of the interest rates weighted by allocationSum of the WeightedInterest Rates=Weighted Index Interest Rate ofthe S&P 500 ® Annual Point toPoint Index Account+Weighted Index Interest Rate forthe 5 year Index Account0.5% = 0.5% + 0%Step 4. Add the 4%The sum of the interest rates weighted by allocation and the 4% Roll-up is 4.5% (4% + 0.5%).Compute the Stacking Roll-up (4.5%) increase to the last computed Income Benefit Base ($100,000) andthe increased Income Benefit Base is $104,500.Because the last computed Income Benefit Base increased by the Stacking Roll-up ($104,500) is greaterthan the Account Value ($100,500), the new Income Benefit Base is $104,500.This example is only to show how the Income Benefit Base is computed and does not reflect whatit would be for your annuity.The above example assumes that you only allocate purchase payments to either the 5 YearAnnuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. Under thePage 17 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Total Value Annuity, you may allocate a percentage of your purchase payments to the FixedAccount and each of the Index Accounts.Example – Income Benefit Base on the fifth contract anniversaryNow after five years, on March 1, 2016, assume that (i) we determined the S&P 500 ® Annual Point toPoint Index Account Index Interest Rate was 1%, (ii) we determined the 5 year Index Account IndexInterest Rate was 20% (iii) due to the rider charges that were deducted from the S&P 500 ® Annual Pointto Point Index Account, 45% of the Account Value was allocated to the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account and 55% was allocated to the 5 year Index Account, (iv) Lifetime Annual Income was notrequested, (v) on March 1, 2016, the Account Value was $115,000 (after interest was credited), and (vi)the last calculated Income Benefit Base was $124,000.On March 1, 2016, the Stacking Roll-up would be calculated as follows:Step 1. Determine the "weight" for the contract's allocation among the Fixed Account and each IndexAccountAs shown above, this is done by dividing the value of each individual Index Account by the AccountValue. For this example, we assumed that by March 1, 2016, 45% of the Account Value was allocated tothe S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account and 55% was allocated to the 5 year Index Accountbecause the annual rider charge was deducted from the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index AccountValue as it had the shortest Index Term (one year versus 5 years).Step 2. Compute the interest rate weighted by allocation for the Fixed Account and each Index Account,as applicableFor the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account:Weighted Interest Rate oftheS&P 500 ® Annual Point toPointIndex Account=Weight of S&P 500 ® AnnualPoint to Point Index AccountValuexIndex Interest Rate for the S&P500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex0.45% = 45% x 1%For the 5 year Index Account for the Index Term starting on March 1, 2011 and ending on March 1, 2016:Weighted Interest Rate of 5year Index Account=Weight of the 5 year IndexAccount ValuexIndex Interest Rate for the 5year Index Account11% = 55% x 20%Step 3. Compute the sum of the interest rates weighted by allocationSum of the WeightedInterest Rates=Weighted Interest Rate of theS&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account+Weighted Interest Rate for the 5year Index Account11.45% = 0.45% + 11%Step 4. Add the 4%By adding the sum of the interest rates weighted by allocation to the 4% Roll-up we get a total of 15.45%(4% + 11.45%).Compute the Stacking Roll-up (15.45%) increase to the last computed Income Benefit Base ($124,000)and the increased Income Benefit Base is $143,158.Because the last computed Income Benefit Base increased by the Stacking Roll-up ($143,158) is greaterthan the Account Value ($115,000), the new Income Benefit Base is $143,158.This example is only to show how the Income Benefit Base is computed and does not reflect whatit would be for your annuity.Page 18 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

The above example assumes that you only allocate purchase payments to either the 5 YearAnnuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. Under theTotal Value Annuity, you may allocate a percentage of your purchase payments to the FixedAccount and each of the Index Accounts.How is the Income Benefit Base computed on the Income Phase Start Date during the Stacking RollupTerm?During the Stacking Roll-up Term, on your Income Phase Start Date, the last computed Income Benefit Basemay be increased by the Interim Roll-up. Thus, to compute the Income Benefit Base during the Stacking RollupTerm, the first step is to compute the Interim Roll-up on the Income Phase Start Date.The following steps are taken to determine the Interim Roll-up on the Income Phase Start Date:Step 1. Determine the "weight" for your contract's allocation to the 5 year Index Account by dividing the 5 yearIndex Account Value by the Account Value.Step 2. Determine the interest rate weighted by allocations to the 5 year Index Accounts by multiplying theweight of the contract's allocations to the 5 year Index Accounts by the Index Interest Rates for the 5 yearIndex Accounts.Once the Interim Roll-up is determined, that rate is applied to the last computed Income Benefit Base.Example – Income Benefit Base on the Income Phase Start DateAssume that (i) on the seventh contract year, on June 1, 2018, Bill requested Lifetime Annual Income, (ii)we determined the 5 year Index Account interim Index Interest Rate was 5.5%, (iii) at that time 40% of hisAccount Value was allocated to the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account and 60% wasallocated to the 5 year Index Account, (iv) on June 1, 2018, the Account Value was $125,000 (afterinterest crediting to the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account), and (v) the Income Benefit Baselast computed was $137,000.On June 1, 2018, the Interim Roll-up would be calculated as follows:Step 1. Determine the "weight" for the contract's allocation to the 5 year Index AccountsAs shown above, this is done by dividing the 5 year Index Account by the Account Value. For thisexample, we assumed that on June 1, 2018, 40% of the Account Value was allocated to the S&P 500 ®Annual Point to Point Index Account and 60% was allocated to the 5 year Index Account.Step 2. Compute the interim interest rate weighted by allocation to the 5 year Index AccountsWeighted Interest Rate of 5year Index Account=Weight of the 5 year IndexAccount ValuexIndex Interest Rate for the 5year Index Account3.3% = 60% x 5.5%So, on June 1, 2018, the Interim Roll-up would be 3.3%.Compute the Interim Roll-up (3.3%) increase to the last computed Income Benefit Base ($137,000) andthe Income Benefit Base on the Income Phase Start Date is $141,521.This example is only to show how the Income Benefit Base is computed and does not reflect whatit would be for your annuity.The above example assumes that you only allocate purchase payments to either the 5 YearAnnuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. Under theTotal Value Annuity, you may allocate a percentage of your purchase payments to the FixedAccount and each of the Index Accounts.Home Healthcare DoublerUnder the Home Healthcare Doubler, your Lifetime Withdrawal Rate doubles for up to five contract years if proofis submitted that you (or if you elected joint lives coverage your spouse, or in certain states civil union or domesticpartners) becomes unable to perform at least two of the basic activities of daily living during this period (bathing,continence, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring). A two-contract year waiting period applies before theHome Healthcare Doubler may be requested and it may only be elected once. As of the contract date, you or yourPage 19 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

spouse (or in certain states civil union or domestic partners), as it may apply, must have been able to perform allof the basic activities of daily living. A request for the Home Healthcare Doubler must be on forms we accept andreceive. The necessary forms will require statements by a licensed doctor certifying that at least two of the basicactivities of daily living cannot be performed. We require the request, along with proof, to be submitted eachcontract year during which the increase to the Lifetime Withdrawal Rate is sought. The Home Healthcare Doubleris not available in California, Connecticut, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire and Washington.What is the charge for the Income Rider?The initial rider charge is 0.95% of the Income Benefit Base. The ridercharge may be changed on the 10th contract anniversary if you elect tocontinue the Roll-up on the 10th contract anniversary. The Income Ridercharge will never exceed the guaranteed maximum rider charge of 1.80%of the Income Benefit Base.What is the Death Benefit Rider?You may purchase the Death Benefit Rider at the same time you purchase the TVA and it cannot be purchasedlater. You cannot terminate the rider. The Death Benefit Rider may increase the amount paid upon the death of:(i) the owner, (ii) if the owner is a nonnatural person, the annuitant, or (iii) if the TVA is jointly owned by spouses,the last death of the owner and joint owner. It may be as much as 300% (200% in NJ) of all purchase payments(not including any bonus), less any applicable premium tax if no withdrawals are taken. Withdrawals reduce thepotential amount payable under the Death Benefit Rider and may cause the rider to terminate before any amountis payable upon death. The Death Benefit Rider is not available in California, Connecticut, Missouri, Nevada, NewHampshire and Washington.The following terms are keys to understanding the Death Benefit Rider:Death Benefit Base: is an amount used to determine the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. It is the lesserof the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount or the Death Benefit Cap. It is not an amount that you may withdraw orapply to an annuity option.Death Benefit Base Cap: is a cap, or upper limit, used to determine the Death Benefit Base, equal to 300%(200% in NJ) of your purchase payments (not including any bonus). It is reduced by withdrawals.Death Benefit Roll-up Amount: is used only to determine the Death Benefit Base. It is reduced bywithdrawals. The Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is not an amount that you may withdraw or apply to anannuity option.Excess Withdrawal: is the amount of a withdrawal.Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit: is the greater of thedeath benefit computed under the contract or the Death BenefitBase.Interim Roll-up: is equal to the weighted Index Interest Ratesof the 5 year Index Accounts computed when the Death BenefitRider is payable during the Stacking Roll-up Term.Stacking Roll-up: is an annual increase to the Death BenefitRoll-up Amount during the Stacking Roll-up Term.A Rider Charge is the charge forthe Income Rider.No index interest is credited onamounts taken to pay the RiderCharge at the first contractanniversary after the start of a 2year Index Term.A Roll-up is used to compute the BenefitBase on each contract anniversary duringwhich the Roll-up applies.The Roll-up is not interest and is notcredited to your Account Value. Youcannot receive the Roll-up upon asurrender or withdrawal, or as a deathbenefit.Stacking Roll-up Term: begins on your contract issue date and ends on the 10th contract anniversary,unless renewed for another 10 years, until you reach 80 or the Account Value is zero. If you purchase theTVA and the Death Benefit Rider after age 70, the Stacking Roll-up will be less than 10 years, but it isguaranteed to be at least 5 years unless the Account Value is zero.Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit and Death Benefit BaseThe Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the amount payable upon the death of: (i) the owner; (ii) if the owner isa nonnatural person, the annuitant; or (iii) if the TVA is jointly owned by spouses, the last death of the owner andjoint owner. It is equal to the greater of the amount payable under the contract and the Death Benefit Base.Withdrawals reduce the potential amount payable under the Death Benefit Rider and may cause the rider toterminate before any amount is payable upon death.Page 20 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

The Death Benefit Base is an amount used to compute the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit and the DeathBenefit Rider charge. The Death Benefit Base is equal to the lesser of the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount and theDeath Benefit Cap.The Death Benefit Base is not an amount that may be withdrawn or annuitized.Example – the Guaranteed Minimum Death BenefitAssume that Mary was issued a contract on March 1, 2011 and on March 1, 2017, (i) her Account Valuewas $135,000, (ii) the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount was $150,000, (iii) the Death Benefit Cap was$300,000, and (iv) the Cash Surrender Value was $120,000.First, determine the Death Benefit Base by taking the lesser of the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount and theDeath Benefit Cap. Because the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount of $150,000 is lower than the DeathBenefit Cap of $300,000, the Death Benefit Base is equal to $150,000.Next, determine the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit by taking the higher of the Death Benefit Baseand the amount available under the contract.The amount available under the contract is equal to the greater of the Account Value and the CashSurrender Value. Because the Account Value of $135,000 is greater than the Cash Surrender Value of$120,000, the amount available under the contract is $135,000.Because the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount of $150,000 is higher than the amount available under thecontract of $135,000, Mary’s Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is $150,000.This example is only to show how the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is calculated and doesnot reflect what it would be under your contract.Death Benefit Roll-up Amount, Stacking Roll-up, and Interim Roll-upThe Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is used to determine the Death Benefit Base.The Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is not an amount that may be withdrawn or annuitized.The Death Benefit Roll-up Amount increases: For purchase payments, including Bonus on purchase payments in the first contract year. During the Stacking Roll-up Term, on each contract anniversary for the Stacking Roll-up. On each contract anniversary, if on that date the Account Value is greater than the DeathBenefit Roll-up Amount, for a step-up to the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount to the AccountValue.It may also increase if the Death Benefit Rider becomes payable for the Interim Roll-up.The Death Benefit Roll-up Amount decreases: For Excess Withdrawals, proportionately by the amount of the Excess Withdrawal comparedto the Account Value prior to the withdrawal.Note that an Excess Withdrawal will reduce the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount by more than the dollaramount of the Excess Withdrawal.The Stacking Roll-up increases the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount. The Stacking Roll-up is 4% plus the sum of theinterest rates applied to your Account Value weighted based on allocation. It applies on each contract anniversaryduring the Stacking Roll-up Term. In addition, the Interim Roll-up may apply if the Guaranteed Minimum DeathBenefit is payable and you allocated any amount to the 5 year Index Accounts.How is the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount computed after an Excess Withdrawal?To compute the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount following an Excess Withdrawal, first determine the percentagethe Excess Withdrawal (including Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, and MVA) represents of the AccountValue, and then subtract this percentage from 1 (one). Finally, multiply that resulting percentage by the lastcalculated Death Benefit Roll-up Amount.Page 21 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Example – Death Benefit Roll-up Amount after an Excess WithdrawalAssume that Bill took a withdrawal of $12,000 (including Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, and MVA),the entire amount of which is an Excess Withdrawal, that the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount lastcalculated was $120,000, and that the Account Value at the time of the withdrawal $110,000.The Excess Withdrawal is 10.91% of the Account Value prior to the Excess Withdrawal ($12,000 /$110,000). Accordingly, the new Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is $106,909.This example is only to show how the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is computed and does notreflect what it would be for your annuity.How is the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount computed on a contract anniversary during the StackingRoll-up Term?During the Stacking Roll-up Term, on each contract anniversary, the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is thegreater of: (i) your Account Value on the contract anniversary or (ii) the last computed Death Benefit Roll-upAmount increased by the Stacking Roll-up. Thus, to compute the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount during theStacking Roll-up Term, the first step is to compute the Stacking Roll-up on the contract anniversary.The following steps are taken to determine the Stacking Roll-up on a contract anniversary:Step 1. Determine the "weight" for your contract's allocation among the Fixed Account and each IndexAccount, as applicable, by dividing the Fixed Account Value and each Index Account Value, as applicable, bythe Account Value.Step 2. For a contract anniversary, determine the weighted Fixed Account interest rate and the weightedIndex Account interest rate by multiplying the weight of the contract's allocation to the Fixed Account by theCurrent Interest Rate that applied that contract year, and the weight of the contract's allocation to each IndexAccount by the Index Interest Rate as determined that contract anniversary. If any amount is allocated to the5 year Index Accounts, unless the date is the end of the Index Terms, the Index Interest Rates will be zero.Step 3. Sum the interest rates weighted by allocation.Step 4. Add the 4% to the sum of the interest rates weighted by allocation calculated in Step 3.Once the Stacking Roll-up is determined, it is applied to the last computed Death Benefit Roll-up Amount. Theresult is compared to the Account Value on the contract anniversary to determine the Death Benefit Roll-upAmount.Example – Death Benefit Roll-up Amount on the first contract anniversaryAssume that (i) Mary’s contract was issued on March 1, 2011, (ii) on March 1, 2011 her Account Valueand Death Benefit Roll-up Amount were $100,000, (iii) $50,000 was allocated to the S&P 500 ® AnnualPoint to Point Index Account and $50,000 to the 5 year Index Account, (iv) on March 1, 2012, wedetermined that the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account Index Interest Rate was 1%, (v) onMarch 1, 2012, no index interest was credited to the 5 year Index Account because it is was not the endof its Index Term, (vi) on March 1, 2012, Mary’s Account Value was $100,500, (vii) Mary did not take anywithdrawals, and (viii) on March 1, 2012, Mary was still alive.On March 1, 2012, the Stacking Roll-up would be computed as follows:Step 1. Determine the "weight" for the contract's allocation among the Fixed Account and each IndexAccountFor the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account:Weight of S&P 500 ® AnnualPoint to Point Index Account=S&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account Value÷ Account Value50% = $50,000 ÷ $100,000For the 5 year Index Account:Weight of the 5 year IndexAccount= 5 year Index Account Value ÷ Account Value50% = $50,000 ÷ $100,000Page 22 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Step 2. Compute the interest rate weighted by allocation for the Fixed Account and each Index Account,as applicableFor the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account:Weighted Interest Rate oftheS&P 500 ® Annual Point toPoint Index Account=S&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account Value WeightxIndex Interest Rate for the S&P500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account0.5% = 50% x 1%For the 5 year Index Account:Weighted Interest Rate of 5year Index Account=5 year Index Account ValueWeightxInterest Rate for the 5 yearIndex Account0% = 50% x 0%**The Index Interest Rate is zero due to the fact that interest is only credited at the end of an Index Termand on March 1, 2012, the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account is not at the end of an Index Term.Step 3. Compute the sum of the interest rates weighted by allocationSum of the WeightedInterest Rates=Weighted Index Interest Rate ofthe S&P 500 ® Annual Point toPoint Index Account+Weighted Index Interest Rate forthe 5 year Index Account0.5% = 0.5% + 0%Step 4. Add the 4%The sum of the interest rates weighted by allocation and the 4% Roll-up is 4.5% (4% + 0.5%).Compute the Stacking Roll-up (4.5%) increase to the last computed Death Benefit Roll-up Amount($100,000) and the increased Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is $104,500.Because the last computed Death Benefit Roll-up Amount increased by the Stacking Roll-up ($104,500)is greater than the Account Value ($100,500), the new Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is $104,500.This example is only to show how the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is computed and does notreflect what it would be for your annuity.The above example assumes that you only allocate purchase payments to either the 5 YearAnnuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. Under theTotal Value Annuity, you may allocate a percentage of your purchase payments to the FixedAccount and each of the Index AccountsExample – Death Benefit Roll-up Amount on the fifth contract anniversaryNow after five years, on March 1, 2016, assume that (i) we determined the S&P 500 ® Annual Point toPoint Index Account Index Interest Rate was 1%, (ii) we determined the 5 year Index Account IndexInterest Rate was 20%, (iii) due to the rider charges that were deducted from the S&P 500 ® Annual Pointto Point Index Account, 45% of the Account Value was allocated to the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account and 55% was allocated to the 5 year Index Account, (iv) on March 1, 2016, the AccountValue was $115,000 (after interest was credited), and (v) the last calculated Death Benefit Roll-upAmount was $124,000, and (vi) on March 1, 2016, Mary was alive.On March 1, 2016, the Stacking Roll-up would be calculated as follows:Step 1. Determine the "weight" for the contract's allocation among the Fixed Account and each IndexAccountAs shown above, this is done by dividing the value of each individual Index Account by the AccountValue. For this example, we assumed that by March 1, 2016, 45% of the Account Value was allocated tothe S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account and 55% was allocated to the 5 year Index Accountbecause the annual rider charge is deducted from the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index AccountValue as it had the shortest Index Term (one year versus 5 years).Page 23 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Step 2. Compute the interest rate weighted by allocation for the Fixed Account and each Index Account,as applicableFor the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account:Weighted Interest Rate oftheS&P 500 ® Annual Point toPointIndex Account=Weight of S&P 500 ® AnnualPoint to Point Index AccountValuexIndex Interest Rate for the S&P500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex0.45% = 45% x 1%For the 5 year Index Account for the Index Term starting on March 1, 2011 and ending on March 1, 2016:Weighted Interest Rate of 5year Index Account=Weight of the 5 year IndexAccount ValuexIndex Interest Rate for the 5year Index Account11% = 55% x 20%Step 3. Compute the sum of the interest rates weighted by allocationSum of the WeightedInterest Rates=Weighted Interest Rate for theS&P 500 ® Annual Point to PointIndex Account+Weighted Interest Rate for the 5yearIndex Account11.45% = 0.45% + 11%Step 4. Add the 4%By adding the sum of the interest rates weighted by allocation to the 4% Roll-up we get a total of 15.45%(4% + 11.45%).Compute the Stacking Roll-up (15.45%) increase to the last computed Death Benefit Roll-up Amount($124,000) and the increased Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is $143,158.Because the last computed Death Benefit Roll-up Amount increased by the Stacking Roll-up ($143,158)is greater than the Account Value ($115,000), the new Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is $143,158.This example is only to show how the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is computed and does notreflect what it would be for your annuity.The above example assumes that you only allocate purchase payments to either the 5 YearAnnuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. Under theTotal Value Annuity, you may allocate a percentage of your purchase payments to the FixedAccount and each of the Index Accounts.How is the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount computed if the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit ispayable during the Stacking Roll-up Term?During the Stacking Roll-up Term, if the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is payable, the last computedDeath Benefit Roll-up Amount may be increased by the Interim Roll-up if any amounts are allocated to the5 year Index Accounts. To compute the Interim Roll-up, first, we must compute the Index Interest Rates forthe 5 year Index Accounts, which would include a vesting percentage. Note that the vesting percentage doesnot apply in computing the Index Interest Rate for the 5 year Index Account applied to the Account Value inconnection with the death.The following steps are taken to determine the Interim Roll-up if the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit ispayable:Step 1. Compute the 5 year Index Account Index Interest Rates for the Death Benefit Rider during the IndexTerm.Step 2. Determine the "weight" for the contract's allocation to the 5 year Index Accounts by dividing the 5 yearIndex Account Values by the Account Value.Page 24 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Step 3. Determine the Index Interest Rates weighted by allocation for the 5 year Index Accounts bymultiplying the weight of the contract's allocation to the 5 year Index Accounts by the Index Interest Rates forthe 5 year Index Accounts.Once the Interim Roll-up is determined, it is applied to the last computed Death Benefit Roll-up Amount.Example – Death Benefit Roll-up Amount if the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is payableAssume that in the seventh contract year, on June 1, 2018, due proof of death was received by SBL and(i) on March 1, 2016, the index value of the 5 year Index Account was $1,000 (ii) on June 1, 2018, theindex value of the 5 year Index Account was 1,200, (iii) at that time 40% of the Account Value wasallocated to the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account and 60% was allocated to the 5 yearIndex Account, (iv) on June 1, 2018, the Account Value was $125,000, (v) the Death Benefit Roll-upAmount on the last contract anniversary was $137,000, (vii) the annual spread for the 5 year IndexAccount was 3%, (vi) the participation rate for the 5 year Index Account was 100%, and (viii) for theInterim Roll-up, the vesting percentage applied in computing the Index Interest Rate for the 5 year IndexAccount was 40% because due proof of death was received by SBL after the second contract anniversarybut before the third contract anniversary.On June 1, 2018, Interim Stacking Roll-up would be computed as follows:Step 1. Compute the 5 year Index Account Index Interest Rate during the Index TermFirst, compute the percentage index change as follows:Difference in IndexValue=5 year Index Account EndingIndex Value-5 year Index Account BeginningIndex Value200 = 1200 - 1,000Because the difference is positive, we determine the percentage change in index value as follows:Percentage Changein Index Value =Difference in Index Value÷5 year Index Account BeginningIndex Value20% = 200 ÷ 1,000Because for this example an annual spread of 3% applies, we subtract annual spread for the two yearsand three months from the percentage change in index value of 6.75% (2.25 x 3%).= - 2.25 Years’ of Annual Spread13.25% = 20% - 6.75%Because we received due proof of death after the second anniversary and before the third anniversary ofthe start of the Index Term, the vesting percentage would be 40%. Thus, we determine the Index InterestRate for the Interim Roll-up as follows:Index Interest Rate= x Vesting Percentage5.3% = 13.25% x 40%Step 2. Determine the "weight" for the contract's allocation to the 5 year Index AccountAs shown above, this is done by dividing the 5 year Index Account by the Account Value. For thisexample, we assumed that on June 1, 2018, 40% of the Account Value was allocated to the S&P 500 ®Annual Point to Point Index Account and 60% was allocated to the 5 year Index Account.Step 3. Compute the interest rate weighted by allocation to the 5 year Index AccountFor the 5 Year Annuity Linked TVI Index Account for the Index Term starting on March 1, 2016 andending on June 1, 2018:Page 25 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

Weighted Interest Rate of 5year Index Account=Weight of the 5 year IndexAccount ValuexIndex Interest Rate for the 5year Index Account3.18% = 60% x 5.3%So, on June 1, 2018, the Stacking Roll-up would be 3.18%.Compute the Interim Roll-up (3.18%) increase to the last computed Death Benefit Roll-up Amount($137,000) and the Death Benefit Base Roll-up Amount on the date due proof of death is received by SBLis $141,357.This example is only to show how the Death Benefit Roll-up Amount is computed and does notreflect what it would be for your contract.The above example assumes that you only allocate purchase payments to either the 5 YearAnnuity Linked TVI Index Account or the Transparent Value Blended Index Account. Under theTotal Value Annuity, you may allocate a percentage of your purchase payments to the FixedAccount and each of the Index Accounts.Death Benefit CapThe Death Benefit Cap is a cap on the Death Benefit Base. The Initial Death Benefit Cap is equal to the initialpurchase payments multiplied by the Death Benefit Cap factor of 3.The Death Benefit Cap increases: For purchase payments (less any premium tax) multiplied by the Death Benefit Cap factor of3.The Death Benefit Cap decreases: For Excess Withdrawals, proportionately by the amount of the Excess Withdrawal comparedto the Account Value prior to the withdrawal. An Excess Withdrawal is the amount of anywithdrawal.Note that an Excess Withdrawal will reduce the Death Benefit Cap by more than the dollar amount of theExcess Withdrawal.Example – Death Benefit Cap after a Purchase PaymentAssume that (i) Bill’s Death Benefit Cap on March 1, 2011 was $300,000, and (ii) Bill made a newpurchase payment of $10,000 on August 1, 2011.The Death Benefit Cap on August 1, 2011 would be equal to the previous Death Benefit Cap ($300,000)plus the new purchase payment multiplied by the Death Benefit Cap factor ($10,000 x 3) for a total of$330,000.This example is only to show how the Death Benefit Cap is computed and does not reflect what itwould be for your annuity.Example – Death Benefit Cap after an Excess WithdrawalAssume that (i) Bill had taken a withdrawal under the contract of $26,600 (including Bonus Recapture,Surrender Charge, and MVA), (ii) his Account Value at the time of the withdrawal was $106,600, and (iii)the Death Benefit Cap Amount at the time of the withdrawal was $300,000.The amount of the withdrawal that is an Excess Withdrawal is $26,600. First, determine the percentagethe Excess Withdrawal (including Bonus Recapture, Surrender Charge, and MVA) represents of theAccount Value, and then subtract this percentage from 1 (one). Finally, multiply that resulting percentageby the last calculated Death Benefit Cap. The Excess Withdrawal is 24.95% of the Account Value prior tothe Excess Withdrawal ($26,600 / $106,600). The new Death Benefit Cap is $225,141.This example is only to show how the Death Benefit Cap is computed and does not reflect what itwould be for your annuity.Page 26 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

What is the charge for the Death Benefit Rider?The initial Rider Charge is 0.95% of the Death Benefit Base. The rider charge may bechanged on the renewal of the Stacking Roll-up but will never exceed the guaranteedmaximum rider charge of 1.80% of the Death Benefit Base.How will annuity payments and withdrawals from my annuity be taxed?Interest credited on your annuityis tax-deferred. This means youdo not pay taxes on the interestcredited to your annuity until themoney is paid to you.Your annuity earns interest tax-deferred, so you donot pay taxes on the interest earned under yourcontract until the money is paid to you. When youtake annuity payments or make a withdrawal, youpay ordinary income taxes on the interest earned(and on the principal if the contract is tax qualified).You may also pay a 10% federal income tax penalty on amounts you withdraw before attaining age 59½, if theydo not meet certain exceptions such as disability, health insurance expenses, medical expenses, or first-timehome buyer expenses. However, this document is not intended to provide tax advice. You should consult your taxadvisor to determine if your particular circumstances qualify as an exception to the 10% penalty tax. If your stateimposes a premium tax, it will be deducted from the money you receive.You can exchange one tax-deferred annuity for another without paying income taxes on the earnings when youmake the exchange. (Taxes may be assessed if you withdraw from the annuity that you exchanged into prior tothe expiration of a 180-day period.) Before you make such an exchange,compare the benefits, features, and costs of the two annuities.You should consult a tax advisor to discuss the tax treatment of the benefitspayable under the Income Rider or Death Rider, and the tax treatment ofmaking exchanges or withdrawals to determine any potential taxconsequences.A Rider Charge isthe charge for theDeath Benefit Rider.No index interest iscredited on amountstaken to pay theRider Charge at thefirst contractanniversary after thestart of a 2 yearIndex Term.This guide is not intended toprovide tax advice. You shouldconsult your tax adviser todiscuss your particularcircumstances.Does buying an annuity in a retirement plan provide extra tax benefits?No. Buying an annuity within an IRA, 401(k), or other tax-deferred retirement plan does not give you any extra taxbenefits. You should choose your annuity based on its features and benefits as well as its risks and costs, not ontax benefits alone.Important Information About ReplacementA replacement occurs when funds are taken from an existing annuity contract or life insurance policy, whether bya loan, a partial withdrawal (including a free withdrawal), or a full surrender, and those funds are used to purchasea new annuity contract (or life insurance policy). The withdrawal of funds and the purchase of the new annuitycontract need not occur simultaneously for the transaction to constitute a replacement. Some state laws specifythat a replacement has occurred if funds taken from an existing annuity contract or life insurance policy are usedto purchase a new annuity contract up to a year later. Replacement of an existing annuity contract or lifeinsurance policy is something that should be considered carefully. You should weigh the benefits and costs of theexisting contract or policy against those of the Total Value Annuity to determine whether the replacement wouldbetter serve your insurance needs and financial objectives.Page 27 of 28 IM-22310-03 2014/06/13

The ALTVI has avolatility control overlay that is adjusted daily based on recent historical volatility, so that more volatility generally leads toreduced exposure to the TVI and less volatility generally leads to more exposure.* The overlay may thus reduce or increasethe potential positive change in the ALTVI relative to the TVI and thus may lessen or increase the interest that will be creditedto a fi xed index annuity allocated to the ALTVI relative to one allocated to the TVI (which is not available). The overlay alsoreduces the cost to hedge the interest crediting risk to Security Benefi t Life Insurance Company (“SBL”). As a result, SBL maybe able to offer a higher cap, higher participation rate, or lower spread on the ALTVI as a crediting option within a fi xed indexannuity relative to what it would be able to offer with the TVI as a crediting option. The cost for the volatility control overlayand maintaining the ALTVI is 1.25% per annum. RBS collects this daily through an up-front pro rata deduction from the TVI incalculating the ALTVI.* As low as 10% (in the event of very high volatility) to as high as 150% (in the event of very low volatility). Historical averageas of December 31, 2013 = 95.8%.TVI, TVI Index, Trader Vic Index, and EAM are trademarks of EAM Partners L.P.
