(1) Represents the range of reasonable assumptions that management has used in its fair value calculations.
(2) Those policyholders who have elected systematic withdrawals are assumed to continue taking withdrawals.
As a percent of account value, 30% are taking systematic withdrawals. Of those policyholders who are not
taking withdrawals, the Company assumes that 85% will begin systematic withdrawals after a delay period.
The utilization function varies by policyholder age and policy duration. Interactions with lapse and mortality
also affect utilization. The utilization rate for GMWB and GMWBL tends to be lower for younger contract
owners and contracts that have not reached their maximum accumulated GMWB and GMWBL benefit
amount. There is also a lower utilization rate, though indirectly, for contracts that are less “in the money”
(i.e., where the notional benefit amount is in excess of the account value) due to higher lapses. Conversely,
the utilization rate tends to be higher for contract owners near or beyond retirement age and contracts that
have accumulated their maximum GMWB or GMWBL benefit amount. There is also a higher utilization
rate, though indirectly, for contracts which are highly “in the money”. The chart below provides the
GMWBL account value by current age group and average expected delay times from the associated attained
age group as of December 31, 2013 (account value amounts are in $ billions).

* For population expected to withdraw in future. Excludes policies taking systematic withdraws and 15%
of policies the Company assumes will never withdraw.
(3) Lapse rates tend to be lower during the contractual surrender charge period and higher after the surrender
charge period ends; the highest lapse rates occur in the year immediately after the end of the surrender
charge period.
