TRANSFER CALCULATION FORMULA
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE TERMS AND DEFINITIONS REFERENCED IN THE TRANSFER
CALCULATION FORMULA:
. AV is the current Account Value of the Annuity
. V is the current Account Value of the elected Sub-accounts of the
Annuity
. B is the total current value of the Transfer Account
. C//l// is the lower target value; it is established on the Effective
Date and is not changed for the life of the guarantee
. C//t// is the middle target value; it is established on the Effective
Date and is not changed for the life of the guarantee
. C//u// is the upper target value; it is established on the Effective
Date and is not changed for the life of the guarantee
. T is the amount of a transfer into or out of the Transfer Account
For both the Base Guarantee and Step-Up Guarantee, if any,
. G//i// is the Base Guarantee Amount or the current Step-Up Guarantee
Amount, respectively.
. N//i// is the number of days until the end of the Base Guarantee
Period or current Step-Up Guarantee Period, respectively.
. d//i// is the discount rate associated with the number of days until
the end of the Base Guarantee Period or the current Step-Up Guarantee
Period, respectively. The discount rate is determined by taking the
greater of the Benchmark Index Interest Rate less the Discount Rate
Adjustment, and the Discount Rate Minimum. The applicable term that
determines the Benchmark Index Interest Rate is the same as the number
of days remaining until the end of the applicable Guarantee Period. If
no Benchmark Index Interest Rate is available for such term, the
nearest available term will be used. The Discount Rate Minimum is
determined based on the number of months since the Effective Date.
The formula, which is set on the Effective Date and is not changed while this
Rider is in effect, determines, on each Valuation Day, when a transfer is
required:
The formula begins by determining the value on that Valuation Day that, if
appreciated at the applicable discount rate, would equal the guarantee amount at
the end of the Base Guarantee Period or Step-Up Guarantee Period. We call the
greatest of these values the "current liability (L)."
L = MAX (L//i//), where L//i// = G//i// / (1 + d//i//)^(N//i// / 365).
Next the formula calculates the following formula ratio (r):
r = (L - B) / V.

TRANSFER CALCULATION FORMULA (CONTINUED)
If the formula ratio exceeds an upper target value, then Account Value will be
transferred to the bond portfolio Sub-account associated with the current
liability, subject to the 90% Cap Rule. If, at the time we make a transfer to
the bond portfolio Sub-account associated with the current liability, there is
Account Value allocated to a bond portfolio Sub-account not associated with the
current liability, we will transfer all assets from that bond portfolio
Sub-account to the bond portfolio Sub-account associated with the current
liability.
The formula will transfer assets into the Transfer Account if r > Cu and if
transfers have not been suspended due to the 90% Cap Rule. Assets in the elected
Sub-accounts are transferred to the Transfer Account in accordance with the
Transfer provisions of the Rider.
The transfer amount is calculated by the following formula:
T = Min (Max (0, .90 * (V + B) - B), [L - B - V * C//t// ] / (1 - C//t//))
If the formula ratio is less than a lower target value and there are assets in
the Transfer Account, then the formula will transfer assets out of the Transfer
Account and into the elected Sub-accounts.
The formula will transfer assets out of the Transfer Account if r < C//l// and B
> 0.
The transfer amount is calculated by the following formula:
T = Min (B, - [L - B - V * C//t// ] / (1 - C//t//))
If, following a transfer to the elected Sub-accounts, there are assets remaining
in a bond portfolio Sub-account not associated with the current liability, we
will transfer all assets from that bond portfolio Sub-account to the bond
portfolio Sub-account associated with the current liability.
90% CAP RULE: If, on any Valuation Day this Rider remains in effect, a transfer
into the Transfer Account occurs which results in 90% of the Account Value being
allocated to the Transfer Account, any transfers into the Transfer Account will
be suspended even if the formula would otherwise dictate that a transfer into
the Transfer Account should occur. Transfers out of the Transfer Account and
into the elected Sub-accounts will still be allowed. The suspension will be
lifted once a transfer out of the Transfer Account occurs. Due to the
performance of the Transfer Account and the elected Sub-Accounts, the Account
Value could be more than 90% invested in the Transfer Account.
