Example of

Benefit Payment Calculation

Assume that your Certificate Anniversary is January 15, 2008. The Benefit Base on this date is equal to $110,000; the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is equal to $5,500; and the Fund Account value is equal to $3,000. You have not taken any withdrawals from the Fund Account in this Certificate Year.

Now assume that on March 15, 2008, you take an Eligible Withdrawal of $3,000. Your Fund Account value is now $0 and the Certificate moves into the Payout Phase. Your Benefit Payment Start Date is March 15, 2008.

Each Benefit Payment in this Certificate Year will be $550.00. To determine this amount, divide the Maximum Annual Withdrawal ($5,500) by 10.

Each Benefit Payment in subsequent Certificate Years (beginning on January 15, 2009) will be $458.33, which is the Maximum Annual Withdrawal ($5,500) divided by 12.
