Withholding will only apply to the portion of your payment that is included in your income subject to income tax. There will be no withholding on the return of your own nondeductible contributions to the contract. If we do not know what portion of a distribution is taxable, we will withhold on the net amount after charges.

If no withholding election is affirmatively made, 10% federal income tax will be withheld, subject to certain exceptions. Once a payment has been made, the withholding election applicable to that payment cannot be changed. If you elect not to have withholding apply or if you do not have enough federal income tax withheld from these payments, you may be responsible for the payment of estimated tax and/or be subject to estimated tax penalties. State income tax withholding may also apply. State income tax withholding requirements vary by state. If required under the law of the state in which you live, state income tax withholding will also apply.

General Disclosures. If you are a participant in an Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA), a Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA), 457, or a pension Plan, profit-sharing or 401(k) Plan, the minimum distribution requirement applies to you. The Minimum Distribution Rule does not apply to Roth IRAs during the owner s lifetime. The year in which you must begin taking your RMD depends on the type of Plan you have and whether you are retired. Generally, if you are retired and you were a participant in any of the Plans mentioned above, the year you turn 70 ½ years of age is your first minimum distribution year. If you are working for the employer that sponsored the Plan in the year you turn 70½ years of age, the year you retire is your first minimum distribution year. This rule applies to all the Plans mentioned except IRAs and Plans with a company in which you have at least a 5% ownership interest. If you have an IRA or a Plan with a company in which you have at least a 5% ownership interest, your minimum distribution year is the year you turn 70½, even if you are still working. Deferral of First Distribution. Once you know your minimum distribution year, you have the option of deferring your first distribution until April 1st of the following year. However, before you decide to take advantage of the deferral option, keep in mind that subsequent distributions must be taken by December 31st of each year following your first minimum distribution. Taxable distributions previously taken within the current tax year will be applied toward your RMD requirement. Withdrawals in excess of the RMD amount for each individual contract will be subject to the conditions of the contract. If your requested RMD brings your contract value to zero, your contract will automatically terminate. Aggregating RMD amounts. All IRAs can be aggregated for the purpose of determining the RMD to be taken from a particular IRA contract. All TSAs can be aggregated for the purpose of determining the RMD to be taken from a particular TSA contract. However, IRAs and TSAs can not be aggregated together for the purpose of determining an RMD amount. Distribution amount. By completing this form, you choose to have MassMutual calculate your distribution and you will receive an amount based on MassMutual s interpretation of the IRS code and the information you have provided. Automatic Withdrawal Program. The Automatic Withdrawal Program for RMD is not available on the following products: Flex Extra 457 Fixed Products issued before 1992 Flex-Annuity (Flex 4 & Fund 4) RMD requests for these products must be made as a one-time distribution. Contingent Deferred Sales charges/surrender charges may apply to RMD withdrawals taken from this contract that are not based on only the assets held under this contract. Flex Extra. The withdrawal will be taken on a pro rata basis from your current investment choices unless directed otherwise. Odyssey Select and Stable Voyage. Only one calendar year s RMD withdrawal is available to be taken each contract year with no surrender charge. RMD withdrawals in excess of this limit will be assessed any applicable surrender charges. Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) & MassMutual Lifetime Payment Plus. RMD withdrawals taken under our automatic distribution program will not reduce the Benefit Base, even if such RMD distributions exceed the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Amount (GLWA) for the Contract Year. RMD withdrawals taken outside of the automatic distribution program may negatively impact the rider value. Review your contract or a prospectus for full details. Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) & Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). RMD withdrawals are treated like partial withdrawals and may negatively impact the rider value. Review your contract or a prospectus for full details. If you have elected an optional guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit, guaranteed minimum income benefit or a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit with your variable annuity contract and would like to understand the impact of a withdrawal on the benefit provided by those features, contact us to obtain a personalized calculation demonstrating the effect of a withdrawal. page 5 of 5 Required Minimum Distribution F6695-AN 0818
