• There is an immediate and heavy financial need;
• The distribution is necessary to meet such a need; and

increase the amount of my financial need and/or create an adverse financial situation;

partial withdrawal of my account has been made, my election to waive QPSA and QJSA is irrevocable with respect to the value of
amounts paid pursuant to my request.
I understand that the Company reserves the right to directly or through a third party recover any payments made in excess of
amounts to which I am entitled under the terms of the Contract regardless of the method of payment.

Notification
If you are a resident of Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland1,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska2, North Carolina3, Oklahoma, Oregon, Vermont, or Virginia1, your state requires state income
tax withholding on the taxable portion of your distribution from your 401, 403(b), 408 Individual Retirement or Governmental
457 Plan. This state income tax withholding is in addition to the mandatory 20% (or, in some cases, 10%) federal income tax
withholding. Please note, when a state cost basis differs from federal, the federal cost basis will be used in determining taxability
for state income tax withholding purposes.
• If you are a resident of California or Oregon state income tax withholding will be calculated unless you elect “out” of state
income tax withholding.
• If you are a resident of Arkansas, North Carolina3 or Vermont, state withholding will be automatically calculated when federal
income tax withholding applies. If you do not elect “out” of 10% federal income tax withholding, you can still choose to elect out
of state withholding. Requesting North Carolina withholding over mandatory amounts requires their Form NC-4P, Withholding
Certificate for Pension or Annuity Payments.
• If you are a resident of Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska2, or Oklahoma, state income tax withholding will be automatically
calculated as these states do not allow an election “out” of state income tax withholding when federal income tax withholding
applies.
• If you are a resident of Delaware, Kansas or Maryland1 and are subject to mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding,
state income tax withholding will be automatically calculated. State withholding is not required when 10% federal income tax
withholding applies.
• If you are a resident of Virginia1 or Michigan, state income tax withholding will be calculated automatically unless you meet
certain criteria and claim an exemption from withholding. To claim an exemption or to request withholding over mandatory
amounts, complete Form VA-4P for Virginia or Form MI-W4P for Michigan, and return the appropriate form to us with, and to the
same designated location as, your Withdrawal Request.
• If you are a resident of the District of Columbia and are receiving a total distribution of your account balance, state income tax
withholding will be automatically calculated. State withholding is not required for partial distributions.
• If you are a resident of Georgia and are receiving periodic payments, state income tax withholding will be automatically
calculated unless you elect out.
• If you are a resident of Connecticut and are receiving partial non-periodic payments, state income tax withholding will be taken
at the highest marginal rate unless you claim exemption from withholding and/or request additional withholding by completing
Form CT-W4P. If you are receiving a total payment of your account balance, state income tax withholding will be taken at the
highest marginal rate unless you request additional withholding by completing Form CT-W4P. You cannot claim exemption
from withholding for a total payment. If you are receiving a periodic payment, state income tax withholding will be taken at
the highest marginal rate unless you complete Form CT-W4P. Form CT-W4P must be returned to us with, and to the same
designated location as, your Withdrawal Request.
