IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE CONTRACT
FEES AND EXPENSES
Charges for Early Withdrawals
If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your Contract within seven (7) years following your last Purchase Payment and before the Annuity Date, you will be assessed a surrender charge of up to 7% on the amount of the withdrawal minus the annual free withdrawal amount. The surrender charge starts at 7% and declines to 0% over seven (7) years.
For example, assume you purchased a Contract with a single Purchase Payment of $100,000 and surrendered the Contract during the first Contract Year. Your free withdrawal amount is $10,000 (10% x $100,000) and is not subject to a surrender charge. You will be assessed a surrender charge of up to $6,300 (7% x $90,000) on the remaining amount of your surrender request.
For additional information about charges for surrenders and early withdrawals, see "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS - Surrender Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge)" and "FEE TABLE -- Transactions Expenses" in the Prospectus.
Transaction Charges
In addition to surrender charges, you may also be assessed a fee for each transfer after the first 12 transfers in a Contract Year, and a SecurePay Medical Evaluation Fee if you request an increase in the Annual Withdrawal Amount under a SecurePay rider. Currently, we do not assess a charge for transfers.
For additional information about transaction charges, see "FEE TABLE - Transaction Expenses" and "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS" in the Prospectus.
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

RISKS
Risk of Loss
You can lose money by investing in this Contract, including loss of principal.
For additional information about the risk of loss, see "PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT" in the Prospectus.
Not a Short-Term Investment
This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Although you are permitted to take withdrawals or surrender the Contract, surrender charges and federal and state income taxes may apply.
Surrender charges may apply for up to seven (7) years following your last Purchase Payment. Withdrawals will reduce your Contract Value and death benefit.
The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections also mean the Contract is less beneficial to investors with a short time horizon.
For additional information about the investment profile of the Contract, see "PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT," "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS," "FEDERAL TAX MATTERS," and "TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL" in the Prospectus.
Risks Associated with Investment Options
An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Contract.
Each Investment Option (including the Guaranteed Account) has its own unique risks.
You should review the prospectuses for the available Funds and consult with your financial professional before making an investment decision.
For additional information about the risks associated with Investment Options, see "PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT" in the Prospectus.
Insurance Company Risks
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. Any obligations (including under the Guaranteed Account), guarantees, or benefits under the Contract are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request at no charge by calling us at 1-800-456-6330 or writing us at the address shown on the cover page.

RESTRICTIONS
Investments
Currently, there is no charge when you transfer Contract Value among Investment Options. However, we reserve the right to charge $25 for each transfer after the first 12 transfers in any Contract Year in the future.
We reserve the right to remove or substitute Funds as Investment Options that are available under the Contract. We also reserve the right to restrict the allocation of additional Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Contract Value to a Fund if we determine the Fund no longer meets one or more of our Fund selection criteria and/or if a Fund has not attracted significant contract owner assets.
For additional information about Investment Options, see "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS - Transfer Fee" and "THE COMPANY, VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND FUNDS - Selection of Funds - Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Investments" in the Prospectus.
Optional Benefits
If you select a Protected Lifetime Income Benefit rider:

The Investment Options available to you under the Contract will be limited.

You may not make additional Purchase Payments two years or more after the Rider Issue Date or on or after the Benefit Election Date, whichever comes first.
Withdrawals from Contract Value that exceed the Annual Withdrawal Amount under the rider may significantly reduce or eliminate the rider benefits.
We may stop offering an optional benefit rider at any time.
If you purchase an optional death benefit, withdrawals may reduce the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn.
For additional information about the optional benefits, see "PROTECTED LIFETIME INCOME BENEFITS" and "DEATH BENEFIT - Selecting a Death Benefit" in the Prospectus.
TAXES
Tax Implications
You should consult with a qualified tax advisor regarding the federal tax implications of an investment in, payments received under, and other transactions in connection with this Contract.
If you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement arrangement (IRA), you do not get any additional tax deferral. Generally, all earnings on the investments underlying the Contract are tax-deferred until distributed or deemed distributed. A distribution from a non-Qualified Contract, which includes a surrender, withdrawal, payment of a death benefit, or annuity income payments, will generally result in taxable income if there has been an increase in the Contract Value. In the case of a Qualified Contract, a distribution generally will result in taxable income even if there has not been an increase in the Contract Value. In certain circumstances, a 10% additional tax may also apply if the Owner takes a withdrawal before age 59½. All amounts includable in income with respect to the Contract are taxed as ordinary income; no amounts are taxed at the special lower rates applicable to long term capital gains and corporate dividends.
For additional information about tax implications, see "FEDERAL TAX MATTERS" and "TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL" in the Prospectus.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional Compensation
We pay compensation, in the form of commissions, non-cash compensation, and asset-based compensation, to broker-dealers in connection with the promotion and sale of the Contracts. A portion of any payments made to the broker-dealers may be passed on to their registered representatives in accordance with their internal compensation programs. The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of, asset-based compensation may provide broker-dealers and/or their registered representatives with an incentive to recommend initial or continued investment in the Contracts over other variable insurance products (or other investments). You may wish to take such compensation arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Contracts.
For additional information about compensation, see "DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS" in the Prospectus.
Exchanges
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the contract you already own. You should only exchange your current contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.
For additional information about exchanges, see "TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL - Exchanges of Annuity Contracts" in the Prospectus.
