•  Our optional benefits also are subject to various other restrictions or limitations. Certain riders, for example, such as the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider, may not be terminated after elected. As another example, under certain guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders, the amount that can determine the guaranteed withdrawals you can take can stop increasing when the older annuitant reaches a certain age.

•  We reserve the right to modify certain of our optional benefits. For example, we reserve the right to discontinue new Dollar Cost Averaging programs or to modify such programs at any time and for any reason.

•  Under our guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders, "excess withdrawals" (i.e., withdrawals in excess of the Withdrawal Limit for a Benefit Year) can reduce the amount we use to determine your future Withdrawal Limit by an amount that is more than the dollar amount of the withdrawal. Excess withdrawals also could terminate the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit.

Table of Contents

Conflicts of Interest Location in Prospectus

•  The prospect of receiving such compensation may create an incentive for selling firms and/or their registered representative to sell you this contract versus another product with respect with which a selling firm does not receive additional compensation, or a lower level of additional compensation. You may wish to take such compensation arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the contracts.

Exchanges

•  Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you the contract in place of the one you own. Similarly, some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a different contract in place of this one. 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.

Availability of Certain Portfolios Varies Based on Optional Riders Elected Under the Contract:

Certain of the optional benefit riders require allocation of Contract Value to a prescribed Investment Strategy or, in the case of Guaranteed Income Advantage, to the GIS Subaccount, to receive the full benefits provided under such riders. Specifically, the following optional Living Benefit Riders require such an allocation:

Ø Lifetime Income Plus Solution
Ø Lifetime Income Plus 2008
Ø Lifetime Income Plus 2007
Ø Lifetime Income Plus
Ø Guaranteed Withdrawal Advantage
Ø Guaranteed Income Advantage
Ø Payment Optimizer Plus
Ø Principal Protection Advantage

Guaranteed Income Advantage provides a guaranteed income benefit that is based on the amount of assets you invest in the GIS Subaccount. The GIS Subaccount invests exclusively in shares of the State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. - Total Return V.I.S. Fund. You may not allocate purchase payments or assets in your contract directly into the GIS Subaccount. Rather, allocations to the GIS Subaccount must be made through a series of scheduled transfers from other Subaccounts in which you have allocated assets.

In order to receive the full benefit provided by each of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Rider Options and the Payment Protection Rider Options, you must invest all purchase payments and allocations in accordance with a prescribed Investment Strategy. Except for Lifetime Income Plus 2008 and Lifetime Income Plus Solution, if you do not allocate all assets in accordance with a prescribed Investment Strategy, your benefit under the rider will be reduced by 50%. Contract owners that own Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution must always allocate assets in accordance with the Investment Strategy.

The current Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus Solution and Lifetime Income Plus 2008 is as follows:

(1) owners may allocate assets to the following Designated Subaccounts:

AB Variable Products Series Fund, Inc. - AB VPS Balanced Hedged Allocation Portfolio - Class B;

AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) - Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund - Series II shares;

BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc. - BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund - Class III Shares;

Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products Fund - VIP Balanced Portfolio - Service Class 2;

Janus Aspen Series - Janus Henderson Balanced Portfolio - Service Shares;
