OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

Purpose of Contract

The purpose of this Contract is to help you accumulate assets through allocation to underlying mutual fund investments and assist you with your long-term retirement planning or other long-term financial needs. Through payments under the Flexible Pension Builder Rider (if applicable) or payments under the annuitization feature, the Contract can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of periodic payments. The Contract also offers death benefits (including a choice from two optional enhanced death benefits) to protect your designated beneficiaries.

This Contract may be appropriate for you if you have a long term investment horizon, want possible tax-deferred growth, want a death benefit, or want to protect against the risk of you or your spouse outliving your income.

Phases of Contract

Your Contract has two periods - an accumulation period and an annuitization period.

Accumulation Period

To help you accumulate assets during the accumulation period, you can allocate your premium payments to a selection of investment options. Each investment option invests in an underlying mutual fund, each of which has its own investment strategies, investment adviser(s), expense ratios, and returns.

5

Defined Outcome Funds Risk

Certain underlying fund(s) employ a strategy to provide downside (buffer) protection but the fund(s) also have limited participation in upside returns over a defined outcome period. The fund(s) usually have "Buffer" in the name of the fund. The buffer funds included in this Contract are PVC U.S. LargeCap Buffer April Account, PVC U.S. LargeCap Buffer January Account, PVC U.S. LargeCap Buffer July Account, and PVC U.S. LargeCap Buffer October Account. The buffer funds have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be suitable for all investors. These strategies could limit the upside participation of the buffer fund in rising equity markets relative to other funds. The buffer provides limited protection in the event of a market downturn. The buffer, outcome period and FLEX Options and their accompanying risks are summarized below. These underlying mutual funds are not available in the state of New York. These underlying mutual funds may not be available through all broker-dealers.

Buffer Loss Risk

There can be no guarantee that the buffer fund will be successful in its strategy to provide buffer protection against Index losses if the Index decreases over the Outcome Period by 10% or less. An investor may lose his or her entire investment. The buffer fund's strategy seeks to deliver returns that match the Index (but will be less than the Index due to the cost of the options used by the buffer fund), while limiting downside losses, if shares are bought on the day on which the buffer fund enters into the options and held until those options expire at the end of each Outcome Period. In the event shares are purchased after the date on which the options were entered into or shares are redeemed prior to the expiration of the options, the buffer that the buffer fund seeks to provide may not be available. The buffer fund does not provide principal protection, and an investor may experience significant losses on its investment, including the loss of its entire investment.

Outcome Period Risk

The buffer funds seek to match the performance of an index, before the deduction of expenses and subject to the buffer, only if buffer fund shares are held on the first day of the Outcome Period and continues to be held until the last day of the Outcome Period. If the shares are redeemed before the end of the Outcome Period, you may experience investment returns very different from those contracts where the shares are held through the end of the Outcome Period and different from what the fund seeks to provide, including potentially a loss of some or all of your investment. In particular, you will not receive the same amount of protection against losses from the buffer feature if you redeem before the last day of the Outcome Period, and you might lose some or all of your investment.

FLEX Options Risk

The buffer fund may invest in FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"). The buffer fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. If the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the buffer fund could incur significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be illiquid if trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent and, in such cases, the buffer fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices, decreasing the value of the FLEX Options. There is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for FLEX Options, and a less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of FLEX Options. The buffer fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as "qualifying income" under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies ("RICs"). In addition, based upon language in legislative history, the buffer fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset for diversification purposes. If the income is not qualifying income or the issuer of the FLEX Options is not appropriately the referenced asset, the buffer fund could lose its own status as a RIC.

Additional information about the underlying mutual funds in which the divisions invest is provided in APPENDIX A: INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.

For those owners with the Flexible Pension Builder rider, the owner may move all or a portion of his or her accumulated value to a deferred income payment option during the accumulation phase. Making such a deferred income transfer results in amounts in your Contract being moved from the divisions to the General Account. See 10. BENEFITS UNDER THE CONTRACT - Flexible Pension Builder Rider in the Expanded Prospectus.

Annuitization Period

Any time after the first contract year, you can elect to annuitize your Contract and convert your accumulated value into a fixed stream of income payments. You also have the right to partially annuitize a portion of your accumulated value any time after the first contract year. You may select when you want the payments to begin.

6

We offer fixed annuity benefit payments only. No surrender charge is imposed on any portion of your accumulated value that has been annuitized. All benefits under this Contract (except any rights under the Flexible Pension Builder rider, if applicable) terminate when you annuitize your entire accumulated value.

See9. ANNUITY PERIOD in the Expanded Prospectus.

Contract Features

This Contract is designed to accumulate value and to provide retirement income that you cannot outlive or that continues for a specified period of time. The Contract's primary features include: a death benefit (without surrender charges), including two optional death benefits from which you can choose one for an extra charge; the ability to annuitize the Contract, which provides a fixed stream of income payments; and a Flexible Pension Builder rider (automatically included with Contract for people of certain ages).

Death Benefit

The standard death benefit is the accumulated value. Information about optional death benefits can be found below in Optional Benefits and Loans.

If you are purchasing the Pivot Series Variable Annuity as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), as defined in Internal Revenue Code Sections 408(b)(k)(p) and 408A, election of the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit may be required by certain broker dealers.

See 10. BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT in the Expanded Prospectus.

Flexible Pension Builder Rider (f/k/a Deferred Income Rider)

The Flexible Pension Builder Rider can provide you with a stream of income payments that will start at a date in the future that you select. Before making deferred income transfers, you should consider your liquidity needs because deferred income transfers cannot be surrendered after the 10 day cancellation period; those amounts are accessible only through the future stream of fixed income payments created by deferred income transfers.

The Flexible Pension Builder Rider is automatically issued at no additional cost when:

• the owner and annuitant are the same (except for a non-natural owner);

• the Contract does not have joint owners and/or joint annuitants; and

• for qualified contracts, the issue age is less than 67.

See 10. BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT in the Expanded Prospectus.

Tax Treatment

Your premium payments accumulate on a tax-deferred basis.Your earnings are not taxed until money is taken out of the Contract, such as when: you make a withdrawal; you receive an income payment; or a death benefit is paid.

Waiver of Surrender Charge Rider

This rider is automatically added to the Contract at issue (subject to state approval and state variations may apply). There is no additional charge for this benefit.

This rider waives the surrender charge on surrenders made after the first Contract anniversary if the owner or annuitant has a critical need. A critical need is limited to confinement to a health care facility, terminal illness diagnosis, or total and permanent disability.

The benefits are available for a critical need if the following conditions are met:

•the owner or annuitant has a critical need; and

•the critical need did not exist before the contract date.

7

For the purposes of this rider, the following definitions apply:

•health care facility - a licensed hospital or inpatient nursing facility providing daily medical treatment and keeping daily medical records for each patient (not primarily providing just residency or retirement care). This does not include a facility owned or operated by the owner, annuitant or a member of their immediate family. If the critical need is confinement to a health care facility, the confinement must continue for at least 60 consecutive days after the contract date and the surrender must occur within 90 days of the confinement's end. Notice must be provided within 90 days after confinement ends.

•terminal illness - sickness or injury that results in the owner's or annuitant's life expectancy being 12 months or less from the date notice to receive a distribution from the Contract is received by the Company.

•total and permanent disability - the owner or annuitant is unable to engage in any occupation for pay or profit due to sickness or injury.

Optional Benefits and Loans

This Contract does not provide for loans.

At the time the application is signed, you may select one of the following optional death benefit riders if the oldest owner is younger than age 80:

1. Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider - the death benefit under this rider is the greater of:

(a) the standard death benefit; or

(b) the total of premium payments.

2. Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider - the death benefit under this rider is the greatest of:

(a) the standard death benefit; or

(b) the total of premium payments; or

(c) the highest accumulated value on any Contract anniversary prior to the lock-in date (for more information on the lock-in date, see 10. BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT - Death Benefit in the Expanded Prospectus).

These death benefit amounts will be adjusted for premium payments, partial surrenders, partial annuitizations, and deferred income transfers.

If you are purchasing the Pivot Series Variable Annuity as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), as defined in Internal Revenue Code Sections 408(b)(k)(p) and 408A, election of the Return of Premium Death Benefit or the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit may be required by certain broker dealers.

If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:	1 year $11,750	3 years $24,154	5 years $34,523	10 years $60,087
If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:	1 year $6,444	3 years $19,031	5 years $31,227	10 years $60,087
If you do not surrender your Contract:	1 year $6,444	3 years $19,031	5 years $31,227	10 years $60,087
