                       Income Benefit Combination Rider 2


This rider was issued because you selected the Income Benefit  Combination Rider
2.

As used in this rider,  "Contract"  means the Contract or  Certificate  to which
this rider is attached.

For purposes of this rider,  "Rider Date" is the date this rider was issued as a
part of your Contract: xx/xx/xxxx

The following changes are made to your Contract.

Qualifications

On the  Payout  Start  Date,  the Owner may choose to  receive  income  payments
defined in the Income  Benefit  Combination  provision  if all of the  following
conditions are met.

o    The  Owner  elects a  Payout  Start  Date  that is on or  after  the  tenth
     anniversary of the Rider Date;

o    The Payout Start Date occurs during the 30 day period  following a Contract
     anniversary;

o    The Income  Base is applied to Fixed  Amount  Income  Payments  or Variable
     Amount  Income  Payments  as we may permit from time to time for all owners
     who choose to receive Income Payments under this rider; and

o    The selected Income Plan provides payments  guaranteed for either single or
     joint life with a period certain of at least:

o    10 years,  if the  youngest  Annuitant's  age is 80 or less on the date the
     amount is applied, or

o    5 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is greater than 80 on the date the
     amount is applied.

Throughout the PAYOUT PHASE section of your  Contract,  the term "Cash Value" is
replaced with "the greater of the Cash Value or the Income Benefit Combination".

If the amount applied to an Income Plan is the Cash Value,  then the Income Plan
may be any plan then offered by us.

Income Base

The Income Base is the greater of Income Base A or Income Base B.

Income Base is used solely for the purpose of calculating the Guaranteed  Income
Benefit  and does not  provide  a Cash  Value or  guarantee  performance  of any
investment option.

     Income Base A.

o    On the Rider Date, Income Base A is equal to the Cash Value.

o    After the Rider  Date,  Income  Base A is  recalculated  as  follows on the
     Contract anniversary and when a purchase payment or withdrawal is made.

<PAGE>



o    For  purchase  payments,  Income  Base  A is  equal  to the  most  recently
     calculated Income Base A plus the purchase payment.

o    For  withdrawals,  Income Base A is equal to the most  recently  calculated
     Income Base A reduced by a withdrawal adjustment.

o    On each Contract anniversary,  Income Base A is equal to the greater of the
     Cash Value or the most recently calculated Income Base A.

     In the absence of any withdrawals or purchase payments,  Income Base A will
     be the  greatest  of the Cash  Value  on the  Rider  Date and all  Contract
     anniversary Cash Values between the Rider Date and the Payout Start Date.

     Income Base A will be recalculated for purchase  payments,  for withdrawals
     and on Contract  anniversaries  until the first Contract  anniversary after
     the  85th  birthday  of the  oldest  Owner  or,  if no  Owner  is a  living
     individual, the oldest Annuitant.

     After that  date,  Income  Base A will be  recalculated  only for  purchase
payments and withdrawals.

     Income Base B.

     On the Rider  Date,  Income  Base B is equal to the Cash  Value.  After the
     Rider Date, Income Base B plus any subsequent  purchase payments and less a
     withdrawal adjustment for any subsequent  withdrawals will accumulate daily
     at a rate  equivalent to 5% per year until the first  Contract  anniversary
     after the 85th  birthday  of the  oldest  Owner,  or, if the Owner is not a
     living individual, the oldest Annuitant.

Withdrawal Adjustment

The  adjustment  is equal to (1) divided by (2),  with the result  multiplied by
(3), where:

         (1) = the withdrawal amount.

         (2) = the Cash Value

         (3) = the most recently calculated Income Base.

Guaranteed Income Benefit

The  Guaranteed  Income Benefit amount is determined by applying the Income Base
less any applicable taxes to the guaranteed rates for the Income Plan elected by
the Owner.  The Income Plan  selected  must  satisfy the  conditions  defined in
Qualifications  above.  The rates are the guaranteed rates defined in the Income
Payment  Tables section of the Contract for either a single or joint life with a
period certain.

On the  Payout  Start  Date,  the  income  payment  will be the  greater  of the
Guaranteed  Income Benefit and the income  payment  provided in the Payout Phase
section of the Contract.

                  Income and Death Benefit Combination Rider 2


This rider was issued because you selected the Death Benefit Combination and the
Income Benefit Combination.

As used in this rider,  "Contract"  means the Contract or  Certificate  to which
this rider is attached.

For purposes of this rider,  "Rider Date" is the date this rider was issued as a
part of your Contract: xx/xx/xxxx

The following changes are made to your Contract.

Death  Benefit  Combination  The Death  Benefit  provision  of your  Contract is
modified as follows:

If the Owner is a natural person, the Death Benefit  Combination applies only to
the death of the Owner. If the Owner is not a natural person,  the Death Benefit
Combination applies only to the death of the Annuitant. This is unlike the death
benefit defined in the Death Benefit  provision of your Contract which may apply
to the death of the Annuitant even if the Owner is a natural person.

The Death Benefit will be the greatest of the values stated in your Contract, or
the value of the Death Benefit Combination.

The  Death  Benefit  Combination  is  equal  to the  greater  of two  separately
calculated  death  benefits,  Death  Benefit A and Death  Benefit  B, as defined
below.

After the Rider Date,  the Death  Benefit  Combination  is  recalculated  when a
purchase payment or withdrawal is made or on a Contract anniversary as follows:

Death Benefit A

o    On the Rider Date, Death Benefit A is equal to the Cash Value.

o    After the Rider  Date,  Death  Benefit A is  recalculated  when a  purchase
     payment or a withdrawal is made or on a Contract anniversary as follows:

o    For purchase  payments for all ages,  Death  Benefit A is equal to the most
     recently calculated Death Benefit A plus the purchase payment.

o    For withdrawals for all ages, Death Benefit A is equal to the most recently
     calculated  Death  Benefit A reduced  by a  withdrawal  adjustment  defined
     below.

o    Death Benefit A will be recalculated for purchase payments, for withdrawals
     and on Contract  anniversaries  until the first Contract  anniversary after
     the 85th  birthday  of the  oldest  Owner  or, if the Owner is not a living
     individual, the oldest Annuitant.

In the absence of any withdrawals or purchase payments,  Death Benefit A will be
the  greater of the Cash Value on the Rider  Date and all  Contract  anniversary
Cash Values between the Rider Date and the date we calculate the Death Benefit.


     Death Benefit B


<PAGE>




     On the Rider Date,  Death  Benefit B is equal to the Cash Value.  After the
     Rider Date, Death Benefit B plus any subsequent  purchase payments and less
     a withdrawal  adjustment for any  subsequent  withdrawals  will  accumulate
     daily  at a rate  equivalent  to 5%  per  year  until  the  first  Contract
     anniversary after the 85th birthday of the oldest Owner or, if the Owner is
     not a living individual, the oldest Annuitant.

Withdrawal Adjustment

The  withdrawal  adjustment  is equal  to (1)  divided  by (2)  with the  result
multiplied by (3) where:

         (1) = the withdrawal amount.

         (2) = the Cash Value immediately prior to the withdrawal.

         (3) = the most recently calculated Death Benefit A or B, as applicable


Income Benefit Combination The following is added to your Contract:

Qualifications

On the  Payout  Start  Date,  the Owner may choose to  receive  income  payments
defined in the Income  Benefit  Combination  provision  if all of the  following
conditions are met.

o    The  Payout  Start Date  occurs  during  the 30 day  period  following  the
     Contract anniversary;

o    The Income  Base is applied to Fixed  Account  Income  Payments or Variable
     Amount  Income  Payments  as we may permit from time to time for all owners
     who choose to receive Income Payments under this rider; and

o    The selected Income Plan provides payments  guaranteed for either single or
     joint life with a period certain of at least:

o    10 years,  if the  youngest  Annuitant's  age is 80 or less on the date the
     amount is applied, or

o    5 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is greater than 80 on the date the
     amount is applied.


Throughout the PAYOUT PHASE section of your  Contract,  the term "Cash Value" is
