Please note: In order for you to receive the Roll-up Rate and Withdrawal Percentages reflected in this Supplement, your Application or benefit election form must be signed within the time period disclosed above. From the date you sign your Application or benefit election form, we must also receive that paperwork in Good Order within 15 calendar days, and for new purchases the annuity must be funded within 45 calendar days. If these conditions are not met, and you decide to proceed with the purchase of the annuity, additional paperwork will be required to issue the contract with the applicable rates in effect at that time. Under certain circumstances we may waive these conditions or extend these time periods in a nondiscriminatory manner.
 
 
Subject to the rules stated above, it is important to note that if either (1) the Roll-up Rate; and/ or (2) the Withdrawal Percentages (collectively the “set of rates”) that we are currently offering on the effective date of the benefit is higher than the set of rates we were offering on the date you signed the applicable paperwork and neither the Roll-up Rate nor any Withdrawal Percentages have decreased, you will receive that higher set of rates. If any rates have decreased when we compare the set of rates that we were offering on the day you signed your paperwork to the set of rates that we are offering on the effective date of the benefit, your contract will be issued with the set of rates that were in effect on the day you signed your paperwork.
