There are [two] optional riders available under your contract. Refer to the Vanguard Variable Annuity prospectus for detailed information on [both] riders.

  [Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit]  

 

The [Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB)] is an optional rider that provides a guaranteed* lifetime income for you and, if applicable, a joint annuitant. The level of income depends on the annuitant’s attained age (the younger of the living spouses for the joint rider) at the time of the first withdrawal as well as the amount allocated to the designated investments eligible for the GLWB.

 

Note: The GLWB rider can be added to your contract by completing this section. You must allocate a portion of your initial premium payment to one or more of the designated investments eligible for the GLWB as listed in Section 10. If you don’t wish to elect the GLWB at this time, skip to Section 9.

You can elect the rider at a later date.

 

¨   Single

 

¨   Joint. Please make sure you’ve completed Sections 3 and 5. For nonqualified contracts, the annuitant’s spouse or civil union/domestic partner must be designated as both the joint contract owner and the joint annuitant. (In California only, for nonqualified contracts, the annuitant’s spouse or civil union/domestic partner must be designated as the joint annuitant.) For qualified contracts, the annuitant’s spouse or civil union/domestic partner must be designated as both the joint annuitant and the primary beneficiary.

9. Your method of purchase

 

You can establish your Vanguard Variable Annuity with a check or wire transfer, the assets in an existing annuity contract or life insurance policy, a transfer/rollover of tax-deferred assets from a traditional IRA or qualified plan or annuity, or with shares from a Vanguard account.

12. Phone and online authorization

Check the box below if you or the joint owner wish to establish telephone and online privileges for your annuity contract.

¨  I authorize Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company to honor permitted transactions I request through telephone instruction or online as a registered user of [vanguard.com.] In the event this contract is owned by more than one owner, each owner authorizes Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company to accept permitted telephone or online transactions from one owner. I hereby acknowledge that all instructions given pursuant to this authorization are subject to the conditions set forth in the prospectus and that neither Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company nor The Vanguard Group, Inc., will be liable for any loss, liability, cost, or expense for acting in accordance with such instructions believed by them to be genuine and in accordance with the procedures set forth in the prospectus.

13. Signatures All owners must sign below exactly as their names appear in Sections 2 and 3.
I acknowledge receipt of a current prospectus and declare that all statements in this application are true to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that all payments and values provided by the contract may vary as to dollar amount to the extent they are based on the investment performance of the selected portfolio(s). With this in mind, I feel the contract applied for will meet anticipated financial needs.
I understand and further agree that:

•   Unless I have notified Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company of a community or marital property interest in this contract, Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company will rely on good faith belief that no such interest exists and will assume no responsibility for inquiry.

•   This application is subject to acceptance by Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company. If this application is rejected for any reason, Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company will be liable only for return of purchase payment paid.

•   Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain customer information, including the name, residential address, date of birth, Social Security number or other taxpayer ID number, and any other information necessary to sufficiently identify each customer. Failure to provide this information could result in the annuity contract not being issued, transactions being delayed or unprocessed, or the annuity contract being terminated.

•   Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company does not deduct premium taxes at the time I make a premium payment. I further acknowledge that, generally, premium taxes will be deducted from the policy value when I begin receiving annuity payments, when I surrender the policy, or when death proceeds are paid. The Maine premium tax is 2%.

•   If I’m using this form to establish banking instructions on a Vanguard Variable Annuity contract, I authorize The Vanguard Group, Inc., and Vanguard Marketing Corporation, and any affiliates or subsidiaries of either (individually or collectively, “Vanguard”), upon telephone or online request, to pay amounts representing redemptions or withdrawals made by me, or to secure payment of amounts invested by me, by initiating credit or debit entries to the bank named by me. I authorize the bank to accept any such credits or debits to my account without responsibility for the correctness thereof. I acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to my account must comply with U.S. law. I further agree that Vanguard won’t incur any loss, liability, cost, or expense in connection with my telephone or online request. I understand that this authorization may be terminated by me at any time by written notification to Vanguard and to the bank. The termination request will be effective as soon as Vanguard has had a reasonable amount of time to act upon it. I represent and warrant to Vanguard that I’m an owner or authorized signer on the bank account specified by me on this form and that no other owner or authorized signer of such bank account (other than the joint Vanguard account owner(s), if applicable) is required to sign in order to authorize the initiation of ACH entries to such bank account.
