Withdrawal Provisions
Free WithdrawalsThe Free Withdrawal amount is the greater of a percentage of the Accumulation Value and a percentage of the Initial Premium and Premium Bonus, if applicable. The percentage is 10% in all years. Withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal amount (excluding Required Minimum Distributions) will not receive gains to-date and will be subject to any applicable Withdrawal Charges, Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustments and MVAs. Gains to-date are not credited on Lifetime Income Withdrawals or to withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal amount. Withdrawals may be automatically deposited into your bank account on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. The contract waives Withdrawal Charges, Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustments and the MVA, if applicable, on Required Minimum Distributions attributable to your contract. For any amount withdrawn in excess of the Free Withdrawal amount or the RMD attributable to your contract, the following Withdrawal Charge Schedule will apply. Market Value Adjustment (MVA)The MVA applies to withdrawals greater than the Free Withdrawal amount and may increase or decrease the amount you receive. For more information, please see the Additional Information insert.Return of Charge (ROC) If you do not take any withdrawals, including a full surrender, that are subject to a Withdrawal Charge, the Cash Surrender Value of your contract after the Withdrawal Charge period will never be less than the premium paid plus any applicable Premium Bonus, adjusted for withdrawals. This means that your premium and any bonus will be returned to you, even if Annual Strategy Charges and optional rider charges are greater than the interest earnings credited to your account.
