I. DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS ENDORSEMENT

ADVISORY FEE PAYMENT

“Advisory Fee Payment” is an amount to pay advisory fee(s) to your authorized advisor and is deducted from and reduces your Annuity Account Value. Advisory Fee Payments are separate from any fees and charges detailed in your Contract and must be elected using our advisory fee service form(s). This Advisory Fee Payment must be received by an authorized firm.

ADVISORY FEE PAYMENT RATE

The “Advisory Fee Payment Rate” is a rate specified by an authorized advisor which cannot exceed [1.25%] per Contract Year. For recurring payments, the specified Advisory Fee Payment Rate is divided by the number of payments in a Contract Year.

Each Advisory Fee Payment amount is calculated by multiplying the applicable Advisory Fee Payment Rate by your Annuity Account Value immediately prior to the Advisory Fee Payment.

The cumulative Advisory Fee Payment Rate for all requests for Advisory Fee Payments in a single Contract Year, whether one-time or recurring, and including any request to re-elect or otherwise modify the advisory fee service in the same Contract Year cannot exceed [1.25%].
