13. Signature and Acknowledgements
GENERAL DISCLOSURE. I/WE UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT:
• ACCOUNT VALUE(S) ATTRIBUTABLE TO ALLOCATIONS TO THE VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS, STRUCTURED INVESTMENT OPTION AND ANY VARIABLE ANNUITY BENEFIT PAYMENTS I MAY ELECT, MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED AS TO DOLLAR AMOUNT.
• In the case of IRAs and Qualified Plans that provide tax deferral under the Internal Revenue Code, by signing this application I acknowledge that I am buying the Contract for its features and benefits other than tax deferral, as the tax deferral feature of the Contract does not provide additional benefits.
• Under penalty of perjury, I certify that all the Taxpayer Identification Numbers in Section 2 and 3 are correct.
• All information and statements furnished in this application are true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
• Equitable may accept amendments to this application provided by me or under my authority.
• No Registered Representative has the authority to make or modify any Contract on behalf of Equitable, or to waive or alter any of Equitable’s rights and regulations. Equitable must agree to any change made to the Contract and benefits applied for, or to the age at issue, in writing.
• Charges under the Contract generally apply for the duration of the Contract.
• Fees, Charges and Investment Options vary by Series.
• Unless I elect DCA, if I elect any of the Segment Types available, once amount(s) are received, they will be placed in the applicable Segment Type Holding Account(s) until swept into the Segment Type(s) on the Segment Start Date provided that all Segment Participation Requirements specified in the Contract are met.
• Each Segment in the Structured Investment Option provides a rate of return tied to the performance of specified index. The
Segments are not index funds and do not invest in underlying mutual funds that hold investments tracked by a specified index.
• The Segment Rate of Return for Segments using one Segment Option may differ from Segments using different Segment Options even though the Segments have similar durations and/or track similar indices. In addition, because of the way the Segment Rate of Return is calculated for Step Up Segments, I understand that in certain circumstances a very small difference in the Index Performance Rate can result in a much larger difference in the Segment Rate of Return for those Segments.
• The prospectus and applicable supplements contain more complete information including the limitations, restrictions and
conditions that apply to the Contract.
• In the case of IRAs and Qualified Plans, by signing this application I acknowledge that I am buying the Contract for its features and benefits other than tax deferral. IRAs and Qualified Plans derive tax deferral from the Internal Revenue Code and therefore the tax deferral feature of the Contract does not provide additional benefits.
• The S&P 500® Price Return Index is a product of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“SPDJI”), and has been licensed for use by Equitable. The Investment Edge contract is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by SPDJI, Dow Jones, S&P or any of their respective affiliates (collectively, “S&P Dow Jones Indices”). S&P Dow Jones Indices makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the Investment Edge contract.
• Investment Edge is not sponsored, endorsed, or promoted by MSCI, and MSCI bears no liability with respect to such product or any index on which such product is based. The prospectus contains a more detailed description of the limited relationship that MSCI has with Equitable and any related product.
OPTIONAL RETURN OF PREMIUM DEATH BENEFIT DISCLOSURE. I/WE UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT:
• There is an additional charge if the Return of Premium Death Benefit (“ROP DB”) is elected.
• The ROP DB generally cannot be terminated once it is elected.
• The ROP DB does not provide an Annuity Account Value or Cash Value and cannot be withdrawn.
• If I/We elect the ROP DB, the maximum age I/We may make contributions to the Contract will be through age 75 (or first
Contract Date Anniversary if later) of the older of the original Owner or Annuitant.
• Withdrawals under the Contract may reduce my ROP DB.
• The ROP DB may be of limited use if required minimum distributions apply, now or in the future, to my Contract because withdrawals that are made from this Contract to meet the required amount may significantly reduce the benefit.
Prospectus Information: I acknowledge that I have received the most current prospectus and supplements, for
Investment Edge. After reviewing my financial information and goals with my Financial Professional, I believe that this Certificate/Contract will meet my financial goals.
