DISCLOSURES Death benefits will be payable under the named Contract as instructed in this form upon the death of the Annuitant, prior to annuitization of the policy. The beneficiary will have no right to change the option or receive a lump sum unless specifically provided for in this form. If no beneficiary is alive when death benefits become payable, or the beneficiary dies while receiving payments, benefits will be made as provided by the Contract. If the death of the owner occurs after annuitization of the policy, the payout restriction is cancelled. If the beneficiary is a minor, any payments due will be made in accordance with state law. If a payee is not appointed, the death benefit will not be paid until such minor beneficiary attains the age of majority. For non-qualified contracts, payments to a non-spouse beneficiary must begin within twelve months of the date of death or the entire death benefit must be distributed within five years of the date of death in accordance with IRS Code, Section 72(s). For qualified contracts, payments to a non-spouse beneficiary must start by December 31st of the year following the year of death or the entire death benefit must be distributed by December 31st of the year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of death in accordance with IRS Code, Section 401(a)(9). If the company is not given due proof of death in sufficient time to begin death payout within the required period, the company will pay the death benefit in payments so that the entire death benefit will be paid within the required five-year period. This form restricts the options normally available to a beneficiary. Neither the Company nor its agents/representatives can provide legal, tax, or accounting advice.
