Payments received in connection with an exchange, transfer or rollover must be initiated within 14 days and received within 60 days of the origination date. Minimum additional: $1,000 Payments initiated outside the windows for the initial purchase payment, but within the first contract year, are additional purchase payments.

Withdrawals may be subject to income tax and, if taken prior to age 591/2, an additional 10% IRS tax penalty may apply. More frequent withdrawals may reduce earnings more than annual withdrawals. 2
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA) A limited market value adjustment will be applied to withdrawals that exceed the allowable penaltyfree amount. The MVA can increase, decrease or have no effect on the amount deducted from the contract value to satisfy a withdrawal request, based on changes in market interest rates between the contract issue date and the withdrawal date. The MVA is limited. It does not apply after the withdrawal charge period expires, and does not affect the contract s minimum surrender value. MINIMUM SURRENDER VALUE A minimum surrender value is guaranteed when the contract is terminated due to full surrender, death, or annuitization. This amount is calculated by: - Taking 100% of aggregate purchase payments accumulated at the contract s non-forfeiture rate, which cannot be less than 1% or more than 3%, and - Subtracting any prior aggregate withdrawals (including withdrawal charges) accumulated at the non-forfeiture rate, and - Subtracting any withdrawal charges that apply at termination. NURSING FACILITY/TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER Waives withdrawal charges after the first contract anniversary, if the contract owner or spouse is confined to a hospital or nursing facility for at least 30 days, or if the contract owner or spouse has a terminal illness expected to result in death within 12 months. Not available in all states. State variations may apply. UNEMPLOYMENT WAIVER Waives withdrawal charges, if the contract owner or spouse (annuitant or annuitant s spouse, if the owner is not a natural person) becomes unemployed. In order to qualify, clients: 1. Must have been employed full time on the contract issue date. 2. Must be unemployed for a period of at least 60 consecutive calendar days prior to claiming the waiver of the withdrawal charge. 3. Must be unemployed on the date when the full surrender or partial withdrawal is requested. Not available in all states. State variations may apply. DEATH BENEFIT The greater of the contract value or the minimum surrender value as of the date Protective Life receives proof of death. 3
ALLOCATION OPTIONS Purchase payments may be allocated among one fixed and three indexed interest crediting strategies. FIXED FIXED ACCOUNT Amounts allocated to this strategy earn a fixed rate of interest that is credited daily, as determined in advance upon each contract anniversary. This strategy is similar to a traditional fixed annuity, whereby the interest credited is not dependent on market index performance. S&P 500 Index Amounts allocated to any of the following strategies earn interest in arrears based, in part, on the performance of the S&P 500 Index (without dividends). ANNUAL POINT-TO-POINT This strategy credits interest when index performance is positive up to a maximum of the interest rate cap in effect for that year. When index performance is flat or negative, no interest is credited for that year. ANNUAL TRIGGER RATE This strategy credits a predetermined trigger interest rate when index performance is flat or positive. When index performance is negative, no interest is credited for that year. INDEXED Citi Flexible Allocation 6 Excess Return Index Amounts allocated to this strategy earn interest in arrears based, in part, on the performance of the Citi Flexible Allocation 6 Excess Return Index. 2-YEAR PARTICIPATION & SPREAD This strategy credits interest by multiplying the index performance by the participation rate and then subtracting the spread. A positive result is the interest rate for that term. If the result of that calculation is flat or negative, no indexed interest will be credited for that term. There are two versions of this strategy, a Participation Focus and a Spread Focus, which are described below. Participation Focus has a participation rate that we declare in advance, subject to the minimum participation rate, and is guaranteed for each two-year index term. The spread is guaranteed to remain 0% for the life of the contract. Spread Focus has a spread that we declare in advance, subject to the maximum spread, and is guaranteed for each two-year index term. The participation rate is guaranteed to remain 100% for the life of the contract. INDEX TERM Index term refers to the period of time over which index-related interest is calculated. Interest is then credited at the end of each term. Because interest is credited on the last day of the index term, no interest is earned on amounts withdrawn before that day. The index terms for Protective Asset Builder interest crediting strategies are: - One year for Annual Point-to-Point and Annual Trigger - Two years for Participation & Spread IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT PURCHASE PAYMENT ALLOCATIONS AND CREDITING RATES Only the initial purchase payment is immediately allocated to the interest crediting strategies. Additional purchase payments are allocated to the Holding Account until the following contract anniversary when they are then allocated to the interest crediting strategies per the current contract allocation instructions. 4
Declared rates for the first contract year are locked in as of the application signed date with the exception of the rate for the Holding Account. The Holding Account rate is determined as of the date each additional purchase payment is applied to the contract. Beginning index values for each portion of the initial purchase payment are determined as of the date each portion is applied to the contract. Thus, there may be multiple index performance percentages calculated during the first contract year. The sole beginning index value thereafter is determined upon each contract anniversary. ABOUT THE CITI FLEXIBLE ALLOCATION 6 EXCESS RETURN INDEX Offered exclusively through Protective Life, the Citi Flexible Allocation 6 Excess Return Index strives to create positive and consistent returns through a multi-asset investment strategy and a volatility control methodology. The index includes two different portfolios: (1) Core Portfolio: comprised of U.S. equities, international equities, commodities, real estate, U.S. Treasuries and (2) Reserve Portfolio: comprised of gold and U.S. Treasuries. On a monthly basis, the index applies established rules to allocate hypothetical exposure to either the Core Portfolio or Reserve Portfolio based on backward looking (momentum) and forward looking (Citi Risk Aversion Indicator) signals. The Citi RAI seeks to measure relative levels of risk aversion by tracking the levels of six financial market indicators, each of which may reflect market sentiment about risk in a particular market at a point in time. When the index determines that the Core Portfolio is neutral or trending upward and market conditions measured by the Citi RAI may indicate lower risk aversion, the strategy allocates to the Core Portfolio. Otherwise, the strategy allocates to the Reserve Portfolio. In either case, a portion of the index may be allocated to non-interest bearing cash to bring the expected volatility of the index within the 6% risk control. The index attempts to maintain a short-term, 21-day realized portfolio volatility of 6%. When short-term realized volatility exceeds the 6% target, a percentage of the allocation is shifted out of the index and into a cash component that does not generate any return. This is an excess return index whereby the index performance will be determined by subtracting the three-month LIBOR rate from the return of the index components.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGES A 7-year withdrawal charge schedule will apply. Seven years after the contract issue date, the contract owner has full access to the total investment and any earnings attributed to it without a withdrawal charge. 7-YEAR SCHEDULE YEAR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 CHARGE 7 % 6 % 5 % 4 % 3 % 2 % 1 % 0 % PENALTY FREE WITHDRAWALS* First contract year: 10% of the initial purchase payment.

Guaranteed Income Benefit withdrawals up to the annual withdrawal amount are also penalty free. The contract value after each withdrawal must be at least $10,000. * Withdrawals reduce the annuity s remaining death benefit, contract value, cash surrender value and future earnings. Withdrawals may be subject to income tax and, if taken prior to age 59 1/ 2, an additional 10% IRS tax penalty may apply. More frequent withdrawals may reduce earnings more than annual withdrawals. The benefit base will decrease if withdrawals are taken prior to beginning Rising Income Benefit withdrawals or if withdrawal amounts are greater than the allowable amount provided by Rising Income Benefit. LIFETIME INCOME BENEFIT This solution offers a Guaranteed Income Benefit, which immediately creates a protected balance known as the benefit base." The benefit base is different than the contract value and is the amount used to determine the income amount in retirement when the owner chooses to take it. The benefit base grows each year with an 8% simple interest rollup for 10 years, or until benefit withdrawals begin. Clients elect to take income when they are ready, and can choose from one of two strategies: WITHDRAWAL PERCENTAGES FOR RISING INCOME OPTION* AGE SINGLE JOINT 59 ½ 64 4.00 4.40 3.50 3.90 65 69 4.50 4.90 4.00 4.40 70 79 5.00 5.90 4.50 5.40 80 84 6.00 6.40 5.50 5.90 85 89 6.50 6.90 6.00 6.40 90 95 7.00 7.50 6.50 7.00 * withdrawal percentages increase by 0.10% every year from age 60 95 1.

Lifetime income benefit withdrawals reduce the contract value and death benefit. 7
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA) A limited market value adjustment will be applied to withdrawals that exceed the allowable penaltyfree amount. The MVA can increase, decrease or have no effect on the amount deducted from the contract value to satisfy a withdrawal request, based on charges in market interest rates between the contract issue date and the withdrawal date. The MVA is limited. It does not apply after the withdrawal charge period expires, and does not affect the contract s minimum surrender value. MINIMUM SURRENDER VALUE A minimum surrender value is guaranteed when the contract is terminated due to full surrender, death, or annuitization. This amount is calculated by: - Taking 100% of aggregate purchase payments accumulated at the contract s non-forfeiture rate, which cannot be less than 1% or more than 3%, and - Subtracting any prior aggregate withdrawals (including withdrawal charges) accumulated at the non-forfeiture rate, and - Subtracting any withdrawal charges that apply at termination NURSING FACILITY/TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER Waives withdrawal charges after the first contract anniversary, if the contract owner or spouse is confined to a hospital or nursing facility for at least 30 days, or if the contract owner or spouse has a terminal illness.

SecurePay SE Optional Protected Lifetime Income Benefit available with Protective Indexed Annuity II HIGHLIGHTS Guaranteed growth now and steady, predictable income later Potential for the benefit base to grow annually by a minimum of 7% of the total purchase payments or the last contract anniversary value matched (if applicable) for the first 10 contract years or until the owner decides to begin benefit withdrawals (if earlier) Captures the gains of interest crediting strategies until age 95 or until benefit withdrawals begin (if earlier) AVAILABILITY Ages 55 85 ANNUAL COST At issue: 0.85% of the benefit base The cost is charged in arrears by multiplying it by the benefit base at the beginning of every third contract month and then dividing the result by four. ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL AMOUNTS The initial withdrawal amount is calculated on the benefit election date. If the benefit base changed since the latter of the benefit election date or the prior contract anniversary, then it will recalculate on the next contract anniversary. BENEFIT BASE The benefit base is the amount on which the optional protected lifetime income benefit is determined. It is not the value of the contract or the death benefit. The benefit base is equal to the initial purchase payment, increased dollar-for-dollar, with any additional purchase payments made before the benefit election date and adjusted for any withdrawals. SecurePay SE withdrawals do not reduce the benefit base. The benefit base is capped at $5 million. ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL PERCENTAGES AGE ONE COVERED PERSON TWO COVERED PERSONS 60 64 4.5% 4.0% 65 69 5.0% 4.5% 70 74 5.5% 5.0% 75 79 6.0% 5.5% 80 84 6.5% 6.0% 85+ 7.0% 6.5% 12
STEP-UP PROVISION An opportunity to step-up the amount of the benefit base occurs on every contract anniversary until the owner reaches age 95. The benefit base will increase when, on any contract anniversary, earned interest from the interest crediting strategies causes the contract value to exceed the value of the benefit base. When this occurs, the benefit base increases to equal the contract anniversary value. Future benefit withdrawals are then based on the new, higher benefit base increasing the amount of benefit withdrawals. ROLL-UP BENEFIT If the contract anniversary value is less than the benefit base plus 7% of either the total purchase payments or the last contract anniversary value matched (if applicable), the benefit base will still increase annually by this amount. This opportunity occurs on every contract anniversary for the first 10 contract years or until the owner decides to begin benefit withdrawals, if earlier. Future benefit withdrawals are then based on the guaranteed new and higher benefit base increasing the amount of benefit withdrawals. Note: Optional protected lifetime income benefits may have certain requirements and restrictions, are available at an additional cost, are subject to state availability, and will affect the underlying annuity contract features. For complete details, please read the product contract. AGE 55+ MINIMUM ANNUAL BENEFIT BASE GROWTH RATE 7% of total purchase payments or last contract anniversary value matched (if applicable) 13
