--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This prospectus, dated April 30, 2021, describes an individual flexible premium
variable deferred annuity contract (the "contract" or "contracts") offered to
individuals and qualified and nonqualified retirement plans. Genworth Life and
Annuity Insurance Company (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") issues the
contract. This contract may be referred to as "RetireReady/SM/ Extra" in our
marketing materials. This contract (RetireReady/SM/ Extra) is no longer offered
or sold.
This prospectus describes all material features and benefits of the contract
and provides details about Genworth Life & Annuity VA Separate Account 1 (the
"Separate Account") and the Guarantee Account that you should know before
investing. Please read this prospectus carefully before investing and keep it
for future reference.
The contract offers you the opportunity to accumulate Contract Value and
provides for the payment of periodic annuity benefits. We may pay these annuity
benefits on a variable or fixed basis.
You may allocate your premium payments and automatic bonus credits we provide
you to the Separate Account, the Guarantee Account, or both. The Guarantee
Account may not be available in all states. If we apply bonus credits to your
contract, we will apply them with your premium payment to your Contract Value,
and allocate the credits on a pro-rata basis to the investment options you
select in the same ratio as the applicable premium payment. You should know
that over time and under certain circumstances (such as an extended period of
poor market performance), the costs associated with the bonus credit may exceed
the sum of the bonus credit and any related earnings. You should consider this
possibility before purchasing the contract. The bonus credit is referred to as
an "enhanced premium amount" in your contract. Each Subaccount of the Separate
Account invests in shares of Portfolios of the Funds listed below:

This contract has optional benefits, for an additional charge, available to
contract owners. Not all benefits may be available in all states or in all
markets. Should you not be able to obtain a certain feature explained in this
prospectus through your current representative, please contact our Home Office
at the telephone number or address listed below to inquire as to whether a
particular optional benefit is available in your state and, if so, for a list
of firms that will permit such an optional benefit for sale. Please note that
some optional benefits may have requirements that differ from or are in

premium payments or any amount surrendered to meet minimum distribution
requirements under the Code each contract year without incurring a surrender
charge. If you are making a withdrawal from this contract to meet annual

surrendered unless otherwise requested.

request to terminate your contract and the rider and receive the commuted
value of your income payments in a lump sum (the "commutation value"). In
calculating the commutation value, we assess a commutation charge. The amount
of the commutation charge will be the surrender charge that would otherwise
apply under the contract, in accordance with the surrender charge schedule.

to assess a transfer charge for each transfer among the Subaccounts.

rider, and deducted quarterly from the Contract Value. On the Contract Date,
the benefit base equals the initial premium payment. The benefit base will
change and may be higher than the Contract Value on any given day.
If you purchase Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution
with the Principal Protection Death Benefit, another charge will be assessed
for the Principal Protection Death Benefit. The charge for the Principal
Protection Death Benefit is calculated quarterly as a percentage of the value
of the Principal Protection Death Benefit, as defined and determined under
each rider, and deducted quarterly from the Contract Value. On the Contract
Date, the value of the Principal Protection Death Benefit equals the initial
premium payment. The charge for the Principal Protection Death Benefit is
higher if any Annuitant is age 71 or older at the time of application or when
an Annuitant is added to the contract.

elected the Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider and the Optional
Enhanced Death Benefit Rider. If only one optional death benefit rider was
elected, or if no optional death benefit rider was elected, the total
Separate Account Annual Expenses would be lower.
For information concerning compensation paid for the sale of the contract, see
the "Sales of the Contract" provision of the prospectus.
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total annual operating expenses
charged by the Portfolios for the year ended December 31, 2020. These are
expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets, which may include management
fees, distribution and/or service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other expenses.
Portfolio expenses are the responsibility of the Portfolio or Fund. They are
not fixed or specified under the terms of the contract and are not the
responsibility of the Company. More detail concerning each Portfolio's fees and
expenses appears in the prospectus for each Portfolio.

/1/The Portfolio expenses used to prepare this table were provided to the
Company by the Funds. The Company has not independently verified such
information. The expenses shown are those incurred for the year ended
December 31, 2020, or restated to reflect Portfolio expenses estimated for
the current fiscal year, subject to possible adjustment for material
changes. Current or future expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
The range of expenses above does not show the effect of any fee waiver or
expense reimbursement arrangements. The advisers and/or other service
providers of certain Portfolios have agreed to waive their fees and/or
reimburse the Portfolios' expenses in order to keep the Portfolios' expenses
below specified limits. In some cases, these expense limitations are
contractual. In other cases, these expense limitations are voluntary and may
be terminated at any time. The minimum and maximum Total Annual Portfolio
Operating Expenses for all the Portfolios after all fee waivers and expense
reimbursements (whether voluntary or contractual) are 0.31% and 1.80%,
respectively. Please see the prospectus for each Portfolio for information
regarding the expenses for each Portfolio, including fee reduction and/or
expense reimbursement arrangements, if applicable.

For contracts issued on or after the later of May 1, 2003, or the date on which
state insurance authorities approve applicable contract modifications, the
following Examples apply:
These Examples are intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the
contract with the costs of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These
costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract and optional rider
charges, and Portfolio fees and expenses.
The Examples show the dollar amount of expenses you would bear directly or
indirectly if you:

Benefit or Lifetime Income Plus Solution with the Principal Protection
Death Benefit;

. surrendered your contract at the end of the stated period.
Each Example assumes that the maximum fees and expenses of any of the
Portfolios are charged. Your actual expenses may be higher or lower than those

Benefit, a charge of 2.00% of benefit base plus a charge of 0.50% of the
value of the Principal Protection Death Benefit (deducted quarterly from
Contract Value); and

SYNOPSIS
What type of contract am I buying? The contract is an individual flexible
premium variable deferred annuity contract. We may issue it as a contract
qualified ("Qualified Contract") under the Code, or as a contract that is not
qualified under the Code ("Non-Qualified Contract"). Because this contract may
be used with certain tax qualified retirement plans that offer their own tax
deferral benefit, you should consider purchasing the contract as a Qualified
Contract. This prospectus only provides disclosure about the contract. Certain
features described in this prospectus may vary from your contract. See "The
Contract" provision of this prospectus.
How does the contract work? Once we approve your application, we will issue a
contract. During the accumulation period, you can use your premium payments to
buy Accumulation Units in the Separate Account or interests in the Guarantee
Account. Should you decide to receive income payments (annuitize the contract),
we will convert your Accumulation Units to Annuity Units.
You can choose fixed or variable income payments, unless you are taking income
payments from the GIS Subaccount(s) pursuant to the election of Guaranteed
Income Advantage or you are taking income payments pursuant to the election of
Payment Optimizer Plus. All income payments made from the GIS Subaccount(s)
will be made in accordance with the terms of Guaranteed Income Advantage. All
income payments made from Payment Optimizer Plus will be made in accordance
with the terms of that rider. If you choose variable income payments, we will
base each periodic income payment upon the number of Annuity Units to which you
became entitled at the time you decide to annuitize and on the value of each
unit on the date the payment is determined.
What is a Bonus Credit? The Bonus Credit is an amount we add to each premium
payment we receive. For contracts issued on or after the later of October 29,
2002 or the date on which state insurance authorities approve the applicable
contract modifications, and if the Annuitant is age 80 or younger when the
contract is issued, we will add 5% of each premium payment to your Contract
Value. For contracts issued prior to October 29, 2002 or prior to the date on
which state insurance authorities approve the applicable contract
modifications, and if the Annuitant is age 80 or younger when the contract is
issued, we will add 4% of each premium payment to your Contract Value. If the
Annuitant is age 81 or older at the time the contract is issued, we will not
pay any Bonus Credits. (The Annuitant cannot be age 81 or older at the time of
application unless we approve an Annuitant of an older age.) Bonus Credits are
not considered "premium payments" for purposes of the contract. In addition,
please note that any applicable Bonus Credit will not be included in the
Withdrawal Base, Rider Death Benefit, Principal Protection Death Benefit or
Roll-Up Value, if applicable, if you elected Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime
Income Plus 2007 or Lifetime Income Plus 2008; the Purchase Payment Benefit
Amount, Roll-Up Value, Maximum Anniversary Value or Principal Protection Death
Benefit if you elected Lifetime Income Plus Solution; or the benefit base if
you elected Payment Optimizer Plus. You will have to reset your benefit under
the terms of the applicable rider to capture the Bonus Credit or any related
earnings in the Withdrawal
16
Base, Maximum Anniversary Value or benefit base. See the "Bonus Credits"
provision of this prospectus.
What is the Separate Account? The Separate Account is a segregated asset
account established under Virginia insurance law, and registered with the SEC
as a unit investment trust. We allocate the assets of the Separate Account to
one or more Subaccounts, in accordance with your instructions. We do not charge
those assets with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct.
Amounts you allocate to the Separate Account will reflect the investment
performance of the Portfolios you select. You bear the risk of investment gain
or loss on amounts allocated to the Separate Account. See "The Separate
Account" provision of this prospectus.
What are my variable investment choices? Through its Subaccounts, the Separate
Account uses your premium payments to purchase shares, at your direction, in
one or more of the Portfolios. In turn, each Portfolio holds securities
consistent with its own particular investment objective. See "The Separate
Account" provision of this prospectus.
What is the Guarantee Account? We offer fixed investment choices through our
Guarantee Account. The Guarantee Account is part of our General Account and
pays interest at declared rates we guarantee for selected periods of time. We
also guarantee the principal, after any deductions of applicable contract
charges. Since the Guarantee Account is part of the General Account, we assume
the risk of investment gain or loss on amounts allocated to it.
The Guarantee Account is not a part of and does not depend upon the investment
performance of the Separate Account. You may transfer assets between the
Guarantee Account and the Separate Account subject to certain restrictions. The
Guarantee Account may not be available in all states or markets. See "The
Guarantee Account" and the "Transfers" provisions of this prospectus.
What charges are associated with this contract? Should you take a partial
surrender or totally surrender your contract before your premium payments have
been in your contract for eight full years, we will assess a surrender charge
ranging from 2% to 8%, depending upon how many full years those payments have
been in the contract. If your premium payments have been in your contract for
eight full years, the surrender charge for those purchase payments reduces to
0%. We do not assess a surrender charge upon any amounts surrendered that
represent gain.
You may also partially surrender up to the greater of 10% of premium payments
or any amount surrendered to meet minimum distribution requirements under the
Code each contract year without being assessed a surrender charge. If you are
making a withdrawal from this contract to meet annual minimum distribution
requirements under the Code, and the minimum distribution amount attributable
to this contract for the calendar year ending at or before the last day of the
contract year exceeds the free withdrawal amount, you may withdraw the
difference free of surrender charges. We will deduct amounts surrendered first
from any gain in the contract and then from premiums paid. We do not assess the
surrender charge upon annuitization under an Optional Payment Plan with a life
contingency or a period certain guaranteeing payments for five years or more.
We may also waive the surrender charge under certain other conditions. See the
"Surrender Charge" provision of this prospectus.
We assess annual charges in the aggregate at an effective annual rate of 1.55%
against the daily net asset value of the Separate Account. These charges
consist of an administrative expense charge of 0.25% and a mortality and
expense risk charge of 1.30%. There is also a $25 annual contract charge, which
we waive if the Contract Value is $10,000 or more at the time the charge is
assessed. We also charge for the optional riders. For a complete discussion of
the charges associated with the contract, see the "Charges and Other
Deductions" provision of this prospectus.
If your state assesses a premium tax with respect to your contract, then at the
time we incur the tax (or at such other time as we may choose), we will deduct
those amounts from premium payments or the Contract Value, as applicable. See
the "Charges and Other Deductions" and the "Deductions for Premium Taxes"
provisions of this prospectus.
There are also expenses associated with the Portfolios. These include
management fees and other expenses associated with the daily operation of each
Portfolio, as well as Rule 12b-1 fees or service share fees, if applicable. See
the "Fee Tables" provision of this prospectus. A Portfolio may also impose a
redemption charge on Subaccount assets that are redeemed from the Portfolio in
connection with a transfer. Portfolio expenses, including any redemption
charges, are more fully described in the prospectus for each Portfolio.
We pay compensation to broker-dealers who sell the contracts. For a discussion
of this compensation, see the "Sales of the Contracts" provision of this
prospectus.
We offer other variable annuity contracts in the Separate Account (and our
other separate accounts) that also invest in the same (or many of the same)
Portfolios of the Funds offered under the contract. These other contracts may
have different charges and may offer different benefits more suitable to your
needs. To obtain more information about these contracts, including a
prospectus, contact your registered representative, or call (800) 352-9910.
17
How much must I pay and how often? Subject to certain minimum and maximum
payments, the amount and frequency of your premium payments are flexible. See
"The Contract -- Premium Payments" provision of this prospectus.
How will my income payments be calculated? We will pay you a monthly income
beginning on the Maturity Date (or the earlier of the Income Start Date and the
Maturity Date if Guaranteed Income Advantage is elected at the time of
application) if the Annuitant is still living. You may also decide to take
income payments under one of the Optional Payment Plans. We will base your
initial payment on Contract Value and other factors. See the "Income Payments"
provision of this prospectus.
What happens if I die before the Maturity Date? Before the Maturity Date, if
an owner, joint owner, or Annuitant dies while the contract is in force, we
will treat the designated beneficiary as the sole owner of the contract,
subject to certain distribution rules. We may pay a death benefit to the
designated beneficiary(ies). See the "Death of the Owner and/or Annuitant"
provision of this prospectus.
May I transfer assets among Subaccounts and to and from the Guarantee
Account? You may transfer assets among the Subaccounts and you may transfer
assets to and from the Guarantee Account. However, there are limitations
imposed by your contract on both the number of transfers that may be made per
calendar year, as well as limitations on transfer rights.
For transfers among the Subaccounts and transfers to the Subaccounts from the
Guarantee Account, the minimum transfer amount is currently $100 or the entire
balance in the Subaccount if the transfer will leave a balance of less than
$100. See the "Transfers," "Income Payments -- Transfers After the Maturity
Date," "Income Payments -- Guaranteed Income Advantage," and "The Guarantee
Account" provisions of this prospectus. In addition, if you elect Payment
Optimizer Plus, Lifetime Income Plus or Lifetime Income Plus 2007, the benefits
you receive under those riders may be reduced if, after a transfer, your assets
are not allocated in accordance with the Investment Strategy as outlined in
your rider. Contract owners that own Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime
Income Plus Solution must always allocate assets in accordance with the
Investment Strategy. See the "Surrenders and Partial Surrenders -- Guaranteed
Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders" and "Income Payments -- Payment
Optimizer Plus" provisions of this prospectus.
May I surrender the contract or take a partial surrender? Yes, subject to
contract requirements and restrictions imposed under certain retirement plans.
If you surrender the contract or take a partial surrender, we may assess a
surrender charge as discussed above. In addition, you will ordinarily be
subject to income tax (except for qualified distributions from a Roth IRA) and,
if you are younger than age 59 1/2 at the time of the surrender or partial
surrender, a 10% IRS penalty tax. A total surrender or a partial surrender may
also be subject to tax withholding. See the "Tax Matters" provision of this
prospectus. Certain withdrawals, depending on the amount and timing, may
negatively impact the benefits and guarantees provided by your contract. For
example, a partial surrender will reduce the death benefit by the proportion
that the partial surrender (including any applicable surrender charge and
premium tax) reduces your Contract Value. See the "Death of Owner and/or
Annuitant" provision of this prospectus for more information.
In addition, if you elect Guaranteed Income Advantage and you take a withdrawal
from the GIS Subaccount(s), you will lose your right to make any additional
scheduled transfers to that segment and your guaranteed income floor will be
adjusted to reflect the withdrawal made. See the "Income Payments -- Guaranteed
Income Advantage" provision of this prospectus. If you elect Lifetime Income
Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007, Lifetime Income Plus 2008, Lifetime Income
Plus Solution or Payment Optimizer Plus, partial surrenders may affect the
benefit you receive under that rider. See the "Surrenders and Partial
Surrenders -- Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders" and
"Income Payments -- Payment Optimizer Plus" provisions of this prospectus.
You should carefully consider whether a withdrawal under a particular
circumstance will have any negative impact to your benefits or guarantees. The
impact of withdrawals generally on your benefits and guarantees is discussed in
the corresponding sections of the prospectus describing such benefits and
guarantees.
Do I get a free look at this contract? Yes. You have the right to return the
contract to us at our Home Office at the address listed on page 1 of this
prospectus, and have us cancel the contract within a certain number of days
(usually 10 days from the date you receive the contract, but some states
require different periods).
If you exercise this right, we will cancel the contract as of the Valuation Day
we receive it at our Home Office and send you a refund computed as of that
date. Your refund will be computed as follows:
(1) if your Contract Value has increased or has stayed the same, your refund
will equal your Contract Value, minus any Bonus Credits applied, but
plus any mortality and expense risk charges and administrative
18
expense charges we deducted on or before the date we received the
returned contract at our Home Office;
(2) if your Contract Value has decreased, your refund will equal your
Contract Value, minus any Bonus Credits applied, but plus any mortality
and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges we deducted
on or before the date we received the returned contract and plus any
investment loss, including any charges made by the Portfolios,
attributable to Bonus Credits as of the date we received the returned
contract at our Home Office; or
(3) if required by the law of your state, your premium payments minus any
partial surrenders you previously have taken.
You receive any gains and we bear any losses attributable to the Bonus Credits
during the free look period. We do not assess a surrender charge when your
contract is surrendered during the free-look period. See the "Return Privilege"
provision of this prospectus for more information.
What optional benefits are available under this contract? We offer several
optional benefits by rider under this prospectus. The riders may not be
available in all states or markets.
The Living Benefit Rider Options. Four Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit
for Life Riders are discussed in this prospectus: Lifetime Income Plus,
Lifetime Income Plus 2007, Lifetime Income Plus 2008 and Lifetime Income Plus
Solution. Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007, Lifetime Income Plus
2008 and Lifetime Income Plus Solution provide guaranteed withdrawals until the
last death of an Annuitant, with upside potential, provided you meet certain
conditions. To receive the full benefit provided by each of the Guaranteed
Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders, you must allocate all premium
payments and Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Strategy
prescribed by the particular rider. If you purchase Lifetime Income Plus 2008
or Lifetime Income Plus Solution, you must always allocate premium payments and
Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Strategy prescribed by that
rider. Under certain circumstances, the benefit provided under the Guaranteed
Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders may be reduced or lost. In addition,
if you terminate the contract or rider, you will lose your benefit. Please see
the "Surrenders and Partial Surrenders -- Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit
for Life Riders" provision of this prospectus for more information about the
riders and their features.
Guaranteed Income Advantage provides a guaranteed income benefit that is based
on the amount of assets you invest in the GIS Subaccount(s). You may not
allocate premium payments or assets in your contract directly into the GIS
Subaccount(s). Rather, allocations to the GIS Subaccount(s) must be made
through a series of scheduled transfers from other Subaccounts in which you
have allocated assets. If income payments have not begun and you terminate the
contract, you will lose your benefit. Please see the "Income Payments --
Guaranteed Income Advantage" provision of this prospectus for more information
about the rider and its features.
Finally, we discuss Payment Optimizer Plus, which provides for a guaranteed
income benefit that is based on the amount of premium payments you make to your
contract. To receive the full benefit provided by Payment Optimizer Plus, you
must allocate all premium payments and assets in your contract in accordance
with the Investment Strategy prescribed by the rider. If income payments have
not begun and you terminate the contract, you will lose your benefit. Please
see the "Income Payments -- Payment Optimizer Plus" provision of this
prospectus for more information about the rider and its features.
Each of the riders offered in this prospectus is available at an additional
charge if elected when you apply for the contract.
The Death Benefit Rider Options. We offer the following four optional death
benefits by rider in addition to the Basic Death Benefit provided under the
contract: (i) the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider; (ii) the 5% Rollup Death
Benefit Rider; (iii) the Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider; and (iv) the
Earnings Protector and Greater of Annual Step-Up and 5% Rollup Death Benefit
Rider.
Each of these optional death benefit riders is available at an additional
charge if elected when you apply for the contract. The Basic Death Benefit is
provided to you automatically and at no additional charge.
Please see the "Death of Owner and/or Annuitant" provision of this prospectus
for more information about these optional death benefit riders and their
features.
Are there any risks to purchasing one of the living benefit rider options or
death benefit rider options? Guaranteed benefits provided under the living
benefit rider options and death benefit rider options, as well as any other
contractual guarantee, are guaranteed by the claims paying ability of the
Company's General Account and our long-term ability to make payments. See the
"Financial Condition of the Company" provision of this prospectus for more
information.
When are my allocations effective when purchasing this contract? Within two
business days after we receive all the information necessary to process your
purchase order, we will allocate your initial premium payment directly to the
Guarantee
19
Account and/or the Subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolios you choose.
For contract owners that have elected Payment Optimizer Plus, Lifetime Income
Plus or Lifetime Income Plus 2007, all premium payments must be allocated in
accordance with the Investment Strategy as outlined in each rider in order to
receive the full benefit provided by the rider. Contract owners that own
Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution must always allocate
assets in accordance with the Investment Strategy. For contract owners that
have elected Guaranteed Income Advantage, premium payments may not be allocated
directly to the GIS Subaccount(s), but must be made pursuant to scheduled
transfers from all other Subaccounts in which you have allocated assets. See
"The Contract -- Allocation of Premium Payments," the "Surrenders and Partial
Surrenders -- Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders," the
"Income Payments -- Guaranteed Income Advantage," and the "Income
Payments -- Payment Optimizer Plus" provisions of this prospectus.
What are the federal tax implications of my investment in the
contract? Generally all investment earnings under the contract are
tax-deferred until withdrawn or until income payments begin. A distribution
from the contract, which includes a full or partial surrender or payment of a
death benefit, will generally result in taxable income (except for a qualified
distribution from a Roth IRA) if there has been an increase in the Contract
Value. In certain circumstances, a 10% IRS penalty tax may also apply. 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. See the "Tax Matters" provision of this
prospectus.
CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The value of an Accumulation Unit is determined on the basis of changes in the
per share value of the Portfolios and the assessment of Separate Account
charges which may vary from contract to contract. Please refer to the Statement
of Additional Information for more information on the calculation of
Accumulation Unit values.
Please see Appendix B of this prospectus for tables of Accumulation Unit values.
THE COMPANY
We are a stock life insurance company operating under a charter granted by the
Commonwealth of Virginia on March 21, 1871. We principally offer life insurance
policies and annuity contracts. We do business in 49 states, the District of
Columbia and Bermuda. Our principal offices are at 6610 West Broad Street,
Richmond, Virginia 23230. We are obligated to pay all amounts promised under
the contract.
Capital Brokerage Corporation serves as principal underwriter for the contracts
and is a broker/dealer registered with the SEC. Genworth North America
Corporation (formerly, GNA Corporation) directly owns the stock of Capital
Brokerage Corporation and the Company. Genworth North America Corporation is
indirectly owned by Genworth Financial, Inc., a public company.
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY
Many financial services companies, including insurance companies, continue to
face challenges in the persistent low interest rate environment of the past
decade, and we are not immune to those challenges. We know it is important for
you to understand how this market environment may impact your Contract Value
and our ability to meet the guarantees under your contract.
Assets in the Separate Account. You assume all of the investment risk for
Contract Value allocated to the Subaccounts. Your Contract Value in the
Subaccounts is part of the assets of the Separate Account. These assets may not
be charged with liabilities arising from any other business that we may
conduct. The assets of the Separate Account will, however, be available to
cover the liabilities of our General Account to the extent that the Separate
Account assets exceed the Separate Account liabilities arising under the
contracts supported by it. This means that, with very limited exceptions, all
assets in the Separate Account attributable to your Contract Value and that of
all other contract owners would receive a priority of payment status over other
claims in the event of an insolvency or receivership. See "The Separate
Account" provision of this prospectus.
Assets in the General Account. You also may be permitted to make allocations
to the Guarantee Account, which is part of our General Account. In addition,
any guarantees under the contract that exceed your Contract Value, such as
those associated with the living benefit rider options or the death benefit
rider options, are paid from our General Account (not the Separate Account).
Therefore, any amounts that we may pay under the contract in excess of your
value in the Separate Account are subject to our financial strength and
claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. We issue
(or have issued) other types of insurance policies and financial products as
well, and we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets in
the General Account. In the event of an insolvency or receivership, payments we
make from our General Account to
20
satisfy claims under the contract would generally receive the same priority as
our other policy holder obligations. This means that in the event of an
insolvency or receivership, you may receive only a portion, or none, of the
payments you are due under the contract. See "The Guarantee Account" provision
of this prospectus.
Our Financial Condition. As an insurance company, we are required by state
insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet
all the contractual obligations of our General Account to our contract owners.
In order to meet our claims-paying obligations, we regularly monitor our
reserves to ensure we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected
contract and claims payments. In addition, we actively hedge our investments in
our General Account, while also requiring contract owners to allocate premium
payments to an Investment Strategy if a living benefit rider option has been
elected. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we
will always be able to meet our claims paying obligations, and that there are
risks to purchasing any insurance product.
State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a
minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the
insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the
insurer's operations. These risks include those associated with losses that we
may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on
our General Account assets, which include, but are not limited to, bonds,
mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in
value of these investments resulting from a loss in their market value.
The market effects on our investment portfolio have caused us to re-evaluate
product offerings. We continue to evaluate our investment portfolio to mitigate
market risk and actively manage the investments in the portfolio.
The Company is exposed to potential risks associated with the recent outbreak
of the coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global
economy and financial markets, business operations, and consumer behavior and
confidence. As a result, the Company could experience significant declines in
asset valuations and potential material asset impairments, as well as
unexpected changes in persistency rates, as policyholders and contract owners
who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic may not be able to meet their
contractual obligations, such as premium payments on their insurance policies.
The COVID-19 pandemic has decreased historic low interest rates even further
and could also significantly increase the Company's mortality and morbidity
experience above the assumptions it used in pricing its insurance and
investment products, all of which could result in higher reserve charges and an
adverse impact to the Company's financial results. The COVID-19 pandemic could
also disrupt medical and financial services and has resulted in Genworth
Financial, Inc. practicing social distancing with its employees through office
closures, all of which could disrupt the Company's normal business operations.
While the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is very difficult to predict,
the related outcomes and impact on the Company will depend on the length and
severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and shape of the economic recovery. The
Company continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic developments and the
potential financial impacts on its business. However, given the specific risks
to its business, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic will have a material
adverse impact on the Company, including a material adverse effect on its
financial condition and results of operations.
How to Obtain More Information. We encourage both existing and prospective
contract owners to read and understand our financial statements. We prepare our
financial statements on a statutory basis. Our audited financial statements, as
well as the financial statements of the Separate Account, are located in the
Statement of Additional Information. If you would like a free copy of the
Statement of Additional Information, call (800) 352-9910 or write to our Home
Office at the address listed on page 1 of this prospectus. In addition, the
Statement of Additional Information is available on our website at
www.genworth.com or on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. You may obtain our
audited statutory financial statements and any unaudited statutory financial
statements that may be available by visiting our website at www.genworth.com.
You also will find on our website information on ratings assigned to us by one
or more independent rating organizations. These ratings are opinions of an
operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the obligations of its
insurance and annuity contracts based on its financial strength and/or
claims-paying ability.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
We established the Separate Account as a separate investment account on
August 19, 1987. The Separate Account may invest in mutual funds, unit
investment trusts, managed separate accounts, and other portfolios. We use the
Separate Account to support the contract as well as for other purposes
permitted by law.
Currently, there are multiple Subaccounts of the Separate Account available
under the contract. Each Subaccount invests exclusively in shares representing
an interest in a separate corresponding Portfolio of the Funds.
21
The assets of the Separate Account belong to us. Nonetheless, we do not charge
the assets in the Separate Account attributable to the contracts with
liabilities arising out of any other business which we may conduct. The assets
of the Separate Account will, however, be available to cover the liabilities of
our General Account to the extent that the assets of the Separate Account
exceed its liabilities arising under the contracts supported by it. Income and
both realized and unrealized gains or losses from the assets of the Separate
Account are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard
to the income, gains, or losses arising out of any other business we may
conduct. Guarantees made under the contract, including any rider options, are
based on the claims paying ability of the Company to the extent that the amount
of the guarantee exceeds the assets available in the Separate Account.
We registered the Separate Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"). The Separate Account
meets the definition of a separate account under the Federal securities laws.
Registration with the SEC does not involve supervision of the management or
investment practices or policies of the Separate Account by the SEC. You assume
the full investment risk for all amounts you allocate to the Separate Account.
If permitted by law, we may deregister the Separate Account under the 1940 Act
in the event registration is no longer required; manage the Separate Account
under the direction of a committee; or combine the Separate Account with one of
our other separate accounts. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, we may transfer the assets of the Separate Account to another separate
account.
The Portfolios
There is a separate Subaccount which corresponds to each Portfolio of a Fund
offered in this contract. You select the Subaccounts to which you allocate
premium payments and Contract Value. In addition, you currently may change your
future premium payment allocation without penalty or charges. If you elect
Payment Optimizer Plus, Lifetime Income Plus or Lifetime Income Plus 2007,
however, the benefits you receive under the rider may be reduced if your assets
are not allocated in accordance with the Investment Strategy outlined in each
rider. Contract owners that own Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income
Plus Solution must always allocate assets in accordance with the Investment
Strategy. In addition, there are limitations on the number of transfers that
may be made each calendar year. See the "Transfers" provision of this
prospectus for additional information.
Each Fund is registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment
company under the 1940 Act. The assets of each Portfolio are separate from
other portfolios of a Fund and each Portfolio has separate investment
objectives and policies. As a result, each Portfolio operates as a separate
Portfolio and the investment performance of one Portfolio has no effect on the
investment performance of any other Portfolio.
Certain Portfolios may invest substantially all of their assets in portfolios
of other funds. As a result, you will pay fees and expenses at both portfolio
levels. This will reduce your investment return. These arrangements are
referred to as "funds of funds" or "master-feeder funds." Funds of funds or
master-feeder structures may have higher expenses than Portfolios that invest
directly in debt or equity securities.
Certain Portfolios may employ hedging strategies to provide for downside
protection during sharp downward movements in equity markets. The cost of these
hedging strategies could limit the upside participation of the Portfolio in
rising equity markets relative to other Portfolios. You should consult with
your registered representative to determine which combination of investment
choices is appropriate for you.
Before choosing a Subaccount to which you will allocate your premium payments
and Contract Value, carefully read the prospectus for each Portfolio, along
with this prospectus. You may obtain the most recent prospectus for each
Portfolio by calling us at (800) 352-9910, or writing us at 6610 West Broad
Street, Richmond, Virginia 23230. You may also obtain copies of the prospectus
for each Portfolio on our website at www.genworth.com, hover over "Customer
Service" and then click on "Prospectuses." We summarize the investment
objectives of each Portfolio below. There is no assurance that any of the
Portfolios will meet its objectives. We do not guarantee any minimum value for
the amounts you allocate to the Separate Account. You bear the investment risk
of investing in the Subaccounts.
The investment objectives and policies of certain Portfolios are similar to the
investment objectives and policies of other portfolios that may be managed by
the same investment adviser or manager. The investment results of the
Portfolios, however, may be higher or lower than the results of such other
portfolios. There can be no assurance, and no representation is made, that the
investment results of any of the Portfolios will be comparable to the
investment results of any other Portfolio, even if the other Portfolio has the
same investment adviser or manager, or if the other Portfolio has a similar
name.
22
Subaccounts
You may allocate premium payments in the Portfolios listed below, in addition
to the Guarantee Account (if available), at any one time. For contract owners
that have elected Guaranteed Income Advantage, you may not allocate premium
payments directly to the GIS Subaccount(s). Such allocations must be made
pursuant to scheduled transfers from all other Subaccounts in which you have
allocated assets. See the "Income Payments -- Guaranteed Income Advantage"
provision of this prospectus. If you elect Payment Optimizer Plus, Lifetime
Income Plus or Lifetime Income Plus 2007, the benefits you receive under the
rider may be reduced if your assets are not allocated in accordance with the
Investment Strategy outlined in each rider. Contract owners that own Lifetime
Income Plus 2008 must always allocate assets in accordance with the Investment
Strategy. See the "Surrenders and Partial Surrenders -- Guaranteed Minimum
Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders" and "Income Payments -- Payment Optimizer
Plus," provisions of this prospectus.

Not all of these Portfolios may be available in all states or in all markets.
We will purchase shares of the Portfolios at net asset value and direct them to
the appropriate Subaccounts. We will redeem sufficient shares of the
appropriate Portfolios at net asset value to pay death benefits and surrender
or partial surrender proceeds; to make income payments; or for other purposes
described in the contract. We automatically reinvest all dividend and capital
gain distributions of the Portfolios in shares of the distributing Portfolios
at their net asset value on the date of distribution. In other words, we do not
pay Portfolio dividends or Portfolio distributions out to owners as additional
units, but instead reflect them in unit values.
Shares of the Portfolios are not sold directly to the general public. They are
sold to us, and they may also be sold to other insurance companies that issue
variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. In addition,
they may be sold to retirement plans.
When a Fund sells shares in any of its Portfolios both to variable annuity and
to variable life insurance separate accounts, it engages in mixed funding. When
a Fund sells shares in any of its Portfolios to separate accounts of
unaffiliated life insurance companies, it engages in shared funding.
Each Fund may engage in mixed and shared funding. Therefore, due to differences
in redemption rates or tax treatment, or other considerations, the interests of
various shareholders participating in a Fund could conflict. A Fund's Board of
Directors will monitor for the existence of any material conflicts, and
determine what action, if any, should be taken. See the prospectuses for the
Portfolios for additional information.
We reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to make additions, deletions
and substitutions for the Portfolios of the Funds. We may substitute shares of
other portfolios for shares already purchased, or to be purchased in the
future, under the contract. This substitution might occur if shares of a
Portfolio should no longer be available, or if investment in any Portfolio's
shares should become inappropriate for the purposes of the contract in the
judgment of our management. In addition, the new Portfolios may have higher
fees and charges than the ones they replaced. No substitution or deletion will
be made without prior notice to you and before approval of the SEC, in
accordance with the 1940 Act.
We also reserve the right to establish additional Subaccounts, each of which
would invest in a separate Portfolio of a Fund, or in shares of another
investment company, with a specified investment objective. We may also
eliminate one or more Subaccounts if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax,
or investment conditions warrant. We will not eliminate a Subaccount without
prior notice to you and before approval of the SEC. Not all Subaccounts may be
available to all classes of contracts.
There are a number of factors that are considered when deciding what Portfolios
are made available in your variable annuity contract. Such factors include:
(1) the investment objective of the Portfolio;
(2) the Portfolio's performance history;
(3) the Portfolio's holdings and strategies it uses to try and meet its
objectives; and
(4) the Portfolio's servicing agreement.
The investment objective is critical because we want to have Portfolios with
diverse objectives so that an investor may diversify his or her investment
holdings, from a conservative to an aggressive investment portfolio, depending
on the advice of his or her investment adviser and risk assessment. There is no
assurance, however, that a Portfolio will achieve its stated investment
objective. When selecting a Portfolio for our products, we also consider the
Portfolio's performance history compared to its peers and whether its holdings
and strategies are consistent with its objectives. Please keep in mind that past
29
performance does not guarantee future results. Finally, it is important for us
to be able to provide you with a wide array of the services that facilitate
your investment program relating to your allocation in Subaccounts that invest
in the Portfolios. The Company does not provide investment advice and does not
recommend or endorse any particular Subaccount or Portfolio. You bear the
entire risk of any decline in your Contract Value resulting from the investment
performance of the Subaccounts you have chosen.
Payments from Funds and Fund Affiliates. We have entered into agreements with
either the investment adviser or distributor of each of the Funds and/or, in
certain cases, a Portfolio, under which the Portfolio, the adviser or
distributor may make payments to us and/or to certain of our affiliates. We
consider these payments and fees among a number of factors when deciding to add
or keep a Portfolio on the menu of Portfolios that we offer through the
contract. These payments may be made in connection with certain administrative
and other services we provide relating to the Portfolios. Such administrative
services we provide or obtain include but are not limited to: accounting
transactions for variable owners and then providing one daily purchase and sale
order on behalf of each Portfolio; providing copies of Portfolio prospectuses,
Statements of Additional Information and any supplements thereto; forwarding
proxy voting information, gathering the information and providing vote totals
to the Portfolio on behalf of our owners; and providing customer service on
behalf of the Portfolios, including the provision of teleservicing support in
connection with the Portfolios and the provision of office space, equipment,
facilities and personnel as may be reasonably required or beneficial in order
to provide these services to contract owners. The amount of the payments is
based on a percentage of the average annual aggregate net amount we have
invested in the Portfolio on behalf of the Separate Account and other separate
accounts funding certain variable insurance contracts that we and our
affiliates issue. These percentages differ, and some Portfolios, investment
advisers or distributors pay us a greater percentage than other Portfolios,
advisers or distributors based on the level of administrative and other
services provided. The availability of these types of arrangements may create
an incentive for us to seek and to add as an investment option under the
contract funds or portfolios (and classes of shares of such portfolios) that
pay us higher amounts. Other funds or portfolios (or available classes of
shares of such portfolios) with substantially similar investment objectives may
have lower fees and better overall investment performance than the Funds and
Portfolios offered through your contract.
We may realize a profit from payments received from a Portfolio or from the
adviser and/or the distributor. We may use the proceeds of such payment to pay
for the services described above or for any corporate purpose, including
payment of expenses (i) that we and/or our affiliates incur in promoting,
marketing and administering the contracts, and (ii) that we incur, in our role
as intermediary, in maintaining the Portfolios as investment options and
facilitating the Subaccounts' investment in the Portfolios
The amount received from certain Portfolios for the assets allocated to the
Portfolios from the Separate Account during 2020 ranged from 0.10% to 0.25% of
annualized average daily net assets. The Portfolios that pay a service fee to
us are:
Eaton Vance Variable Trust:
VT Floating-Rate Income Fund
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust:
All Asset Portfolio -- Advisor Class Shares
Foreign Bond Portfolio (U.S. Dollar Hedged) -- Administrative Class Shares
High Yield Portfolio -- Administrative Class Shares
Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio -- Administrative Class Shares

State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc.:
Total Return V.I.S. Fund -- Class 1 Shares
Total Return V.I.S. Fund -- Class 3 Shares
Wells Fargo Variable Trust:
Wells Fargo VT Omega Growth Fund -- Class 2
As noted above, an investment adviser or distributor of a Portfolio, or its
affiliates, may make payments to us and/or certain of our affiliates. These
payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment
adviser or sub-adviser receives on the advisory fee deducted from Portfolio
assets. Contract owners, through their indirect investment in the Portfolios,
bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the Portfolios
for more information). The amount received from the adviser and/or the
distributor for the assets allocated to the Portfolios from the Separate
Account during 2020 ranged from 0.05% to 0.50%. Payment of these amounts is not
an additional charge to you by the Funds or by us, but comes from the Fund's
investment adviser or distributor. These payments may vary by Portfolio.
Therefore, the amount of such payments paid to us may be greater or smaller
based on the Portfolios you select.
30
In addition to the asset-based payments for administrative and other services
described above, the investment adviser or the distributor of the Fund may also
pay us or our affiliate Capital Brokerage Corporation, to participate in
periodic sales meetings, for expenses relating to the production of promotional
sales literature and for other expenses or services. The amount paid to us, or
our affiliate Capital Brokerage Corporation, may be significant. Payments to
participate in sales meetings may provide a Fund's investment adviser or
distributor with greater access to our internal and external wholesalers to
provide training, marketing support and educational presentations.
In consideration of services provided and expenses incurred by Capital
Brokerage Corporation in distributing shares of the Funds, Capital Brokerage
Corporation also receives Rule 12b-1 fees from AB Variable Products Series
Fund, Inc., AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds),
American Century Variable Portfolios II, Inc., BlackRock Variable Series Funds,
Inc., Columbia Funds Variable Series Trust II, Eaton Vance Variable Trust,
Federated Hermes Insurance Series, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund,
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, Goldman Sachs Variable
Insurance Trust, Janus Aspen Series, Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust,
MFS(R) Variable Insurance Trust, MFS(R) Variable Insurance Trust II, PIMCO
Variable Insurance Trust, The Prudential Series Fund, State Street Variable
Insurance Series Funds, Inc. and Wells Fargo Variable Trust. See the "Fee
Tables --Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses" section of this prospectus
and the Fund prospectuses. These payments range up to 0.25% of Separate Account
assets invested in the particular Portfolio. Certain Portfolios may accrue Rule
12b-1 fees at a higher rate (as disclosed in the prospectus for the Portfolio),
but payments to us and/or Capital Brokerage Corporation may be made in a lower
amount. Not all of the Portfolios may pay the same amount of Rule 12b-1 fees or
shareholder servicing fees. Therefore, the amount of such fees paid to us
and/or Capital Brokerage Corporation may be greater or smaller based on the
Portfolios you select.
Voting Rights
As required by law, we will vote the shares of the Portfolios held in the
Separate Account at special shareholder meetings based on instructions from
you. However, if the law changes and we are permitted to vote in our own right,
we may elect to do so.
Whenever a Fund calls a shareholder meeting, owners with voting interests in a
Portfolio will be notified of issues requiring the shareholders' vote as soon
as possible before the shareholder meeting. Persons having a voting interest in
the Portfolio will be provided with proxy voting materials, reports, other
materials, and a form with which to give voting instructions.
We will determine the number of votes which you have the right to cast by
applying your percentage interest in a Subaccount to the total number of votes
attributable to the Subaccount. In determining the number of votes, we will
recognize fractional shares.
We will vote Portfolio shares for which no instructions are received (or
instructions are not received timely) in the same proportion to those that are
received. Therefore, because of proportional voting, a small number of contract
owners may control the outcome of a vote. We will apply voting instructions to
abstain on any item to be voted on a pro-rata basis to reduce the number of
votes eligible to be cast.
Asset Allocation Program
The following is a general description of the Asset Allocation Program
available under the contract. A complete description is available in the
brochure for the program. The program may be referred to as "Efficient Edge" in
the brochure or other materials.
General
The Asset Allocation Program is an asset allocation service that we make
available at no additional charge for use within the contract. Asset allocation
is an investment strategy for distributing assets among asset classes to help
attain an investment goal. For your contract, the Asset Allocation Program can
help with decisions you need to make about how to allocate your Contract Value
among available Subaccounts (and their corresponding Portfolios). The theory
behind an asset allocation strategy is that diversification among asset classes
can help reduce volatility over the long term.
AssetMark, Inc. provides investment advice for the Asset Allocation Program.
AssetMark is an investment adviser that is registered under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. We may compensate AssetMark for services it provides
related to the Asset Allocation Program. As part of the Asset Allocation
Program, AssetMark has developed five asset allocation models ("Asset
Allocation Models" or "Models"), each based on different profiles of an
investor's investment time horizon and willingness to accept investment risk.
Another Asset Allocation Model is a "build your own" Asset Allocation Model. We
will refer to this Asset Allocation Model as the "Build Your Own Asset
Allocation Model" when necessary to distinguish it from the other Asset
Allocation Models. The distinguishing features of the Build Your Own Asset
Allocation Model are discussed in the "Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model"
provision
31
below. The Asset Allocation Models are designed for use in two different
circumstances, as discussed below.
. Certain of the optional riders available for purchase under the contract
are designed to provide protection against market downturns. To ensure
that contract owners' assets protected under one of these riders are
invested in accordance with an investment strategy involving an
appropriate level of risk, we require the assets to be invested only in an
Investment Strategy. For contract owners that purchase Lifetime Income
Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution, the contract owner may elect
Asset Allocation Model A, B, C, or D or the Build Your Own Asset
Allocation Model (or invest in one or more of the Designated Subaccounts)
as the Investment Strategy. A contract owner, however, may not elect Asset
Allocation Model E. For contract owners that purchase one of the other
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders or Payment Optimizer
Plus, the contract owner may elect only Asset Allocation Model C (or
invest in one or more of the Designated Subaccounts). Asset Allocation
Model A, B, D, and E and the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model are not
available as Investment Strategies for these contract owners.
. Contract owners that do not purchase Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders may also elect to
participate in the Asset Allocation Program. These contract owners may
choose Asset Allocation Model A, B, C, D or E. The Build Your Own Asset
Allocation Model, however, is not available to these contract owners.
The Asset Allocation Program is not available to contract owners who have
elected Guaranteed Income Advantage.
If you elect to participate in the Asset Allocation Program, your initial
premium payment will be allocated to the Subaccounts corresponding to the
Portfolios in the Asset Allocation Model you select. Any subsequent premium
payments you make will also be allocated accordingly, unless you instruct us
otherwise in writing. The Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model works a little
differently, as discussed in the "Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model"
provision below.
If you participate in the Asset Allocation Program, AssetMark will serve as
your investment adviser solely for the purposes of the development of the Asset
Allocation Models (except for the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model) and
periodic updates of the Models. The Asset Allocation Models are updated on a
periodic basis (generally annually), as discussed below. If you elect to
participate in the Asset Allocation Program, we will reallocate your Contract
Value or premium payments, as applicable, in accordance with the Model you
select as it is updated from time to time based on limited discretionary
authority that you grant to us, unless you instruct us otherwise. For more
information on AssetMark's role as investment adviser for the Asset Allocation
Program, you may review AssetMark's disclosure brochure, which will be
delivered to you at the time you apply for a contract. Please contact us if you
would like to receive a copy of this brochure. We may change the investment
adviser that we use to develop and periodically update the Asset Allocation
Models, or to the extent permissible under applicable law, use no investment
adviser at all. We may perform certain administrative functions on behalf of
AssetMark. However, we are not registered as an investment adviser and are not
providing any investment advice in making the Asset Allocation Program
available to contract owners.
The Asset Allocation Models
There are six Asset Allocation Models, each comprised of a carefully selected
combination of Portfolios offered under the contract. Development of the Asset
Allocation Models involves a multi-step process designed to optimize the
selection of Portfolios, for a given level of risk tolerance, in an effort to
maximize returns and limit the effects of market volatility. The discussion in
this section generally applies to all of the Asset Allocation Models, although
certain distinguishing features of the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model
are discussed in the "Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model" provision below.
Asset allocation strategies reflect the theory that diversification among asset
classes can help reduce volatility and potentially enhance returns over the
long term. An asset class may be a category of investments having similar
characteristics, such as stocks and other equity investments and bonds and
other fixed income investments. There also may be further divisions within
asset classes, such as divisions according to the size of the issuer (e.g.,
large cap, mid cap, or small cap), the type of issuer (e.g., government,
municipal, or corporate), or the location of the issuer (e.g., domestic or
foreign). AssetMark has identified target allocations, between equities and
fixed income investments, for the level of risk, investment time horizon and
investment objective specified for Asset Allocation Model A, B, C, D and E.
To provide further diversification benefits beyond the broad asset class
allocations, AssetMark conducts an optimization analysis to determine the
appropriate allocations to sub-asset classes for each Asset Allocation Model.
While, generally, AssetMark exercises its own broad discretion in allocating to
sub-asset classes, we may require AssetMark to target certain levels of
sub-asset class allocations in order to achieve a level of
32
risk consistent with certain of our optional riders that require assets to be
invested in an Investment Strategy, which may include one or more of the Asset
Allocation Models.
After the asset class and sub-asset class exposures have been identified for
each Asset Allocation Model, a determination is made as to how available
Portfolios can be used to implement the asset class allocations. Part of the
allocation process used by AssetMark in determining the allocation to
Portfolios in the Asset Allocation Models is an evaluation of the asset and/or
sub-asset class(es) exposures presented by each Portfolio in order to combine
Portfolios to arrive at the desired asset and sub-asset class allocation
levels. The Portfolios considered by AssetMark are all those currently
available for contributions of new purchase payments by all contract owners.
AssetMark considers various factors in determining allocations to each
Portfolio for each Asset Allocation Model, which may include historical style
analysis and asset performance and multiple regression analyses, as well as
qualitative assessments of a Portfolio's portfolio manager and expected future
market and economic conditions. While Portfolios are not required to report
their current securities holdings directly to AssetMark, this analysis is
generally made based on the historic security holdings of the Portfolios as
described in public documents.
In addition, AssetMark may consider (but is not obligated to follow)
recommendations we may make regarding what Portfolios to use. These
recommendations may be based on various factors, including whether the
investment adviser or distributor of a Portfolio pays us a fee in connection
with certain administrative and other services we provide relating to the
Portfolio, and whether our affiliate Capital Brokerage Corporation receives
Rule 12b-1 fees from the Portfolio. Based on this analysis, Portfolios are
selected in a manner that is intended to optimize potential returns of each
Model, given a particular level of risk tolerance. This process could, in some
cases, result in the inclusion of a Portfolio in a Model based on its specific
asset class exposure or other specific optimization factors, even when another
Portfolio may have better investment performance. In addition, this may also
result in the inclusion of Portfolios with higher fees that may adversely
affect performance.
Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model. The Build Your Own Asset Allocation
Model allows for more flexibility than the other five Asset Allocation Models,
enabling you, in consultation with your registered representative, to construct
your own asset allocation that you believe best meets your individual
investment objectives. We have constructed the Build Your Own Asset Allocation
Model to require that you invest between 20% and 80% of your assets in the
"Core" asset class, between 20% and 60% of your assets in the "Fixed Income"
asset class, and no more than 20% of your assets in the "Specialty" asset
class, for a total of 100% of assets invested in accordance with the Model. In
constructing the parameters for the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model, we
defined the asset classes among which assets should be allocated, and
determined an appropriate percentage range for each asset class. In making
these determinations, our goal is to permit any asset allocation that is
appropriate for contract owners with moderately conservative to moderately
aggressive risk tolerance levels.
AssetMark's role for the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model is to make
determinations as to how available Portfolios fit within each asset class.
AssetMark considers various factors in assigning Portfolios to an asset class,
which may include historical style analysis and asset performance and multiple
regression analyses.
As with the other Asset Allocation Models, AssetMark may be subject to certain
conflicts of interests in categorizing the Portfolios for the Build Your Own
Asset Allocation Model, including recommendations from us on which Portfolios
to include in the Model or a specific asset class based on the fees we receive
in connection with a Portfolio (see the discussion in "The Asset Allocation
Models" provision above) and the need by certain Portfolios for additional
assets (see the discussion in the "Risks" provision below). It is possible that
such conflicts of interest could affect, among other matters, AssetMark's
decisions as to which asset class to categorize a Portfolio.
Periodic Updates of Asset Allocation Models and Notices of Updates
Each of the Asset Allocation Models is evaluated periodically (generally
annually) to assess whether the combination of Portfolios within each Model
should be changed to better seek to optimize the potential return for the level
of risk tolerance intended for the Model. As a result of such periodic
analysis, each Model may change, such as by receiving the percentages allocated
to each Portfolio. In addition, Portfolios may be added to a Model (including
Portfolios not currently available in the contract), or Portfolios may be
deleted from a Model.
We evaluate the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model periodically to assess
whether the asset allocation parameters should be changed to better ensure that
resulting asset allocations are in an appropriate risk tolerance range. If, as
a result of such periodic analysis, we determine that the Build Your Own Asset
Allocation Model must change (for example by adding, removing or modifying
asset classes or by changing the percentage range of investments allocable to
an asset class), then we will make a new Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model
available for new contract owners.
33
AssetMark will also evaluate the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model to
assess whether the Portfolios are appropriately categorized within each asset
class. As a result of this evaluation, AssetMark may determine that certain
Portfolios should be placed in a different asset class or, perhaps, removed
from the Model, or that other Portfolios should be added to the Model
(including Portfolios not currently available in the contract).
When your Asset Allocation Model is updated (as described below), we will
reallocate your Contract Value (and subsequent premium payments, if applicable)
in accordance with any changes to the Model you have selected. This means the
allocation of your Contract Value, and potentially the Portfolios in which you
are invested, will change and your Contract Value (and subsequent premium
payments, if applicable) will be reallocated among the Portfolios in your
updated Model (independently of monthly rebalancing, as discussed below). As
discussed below, in the case of the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model, it
is possible that a change may be made to the Build Your Own Asset Allocation
Model that will require a contract owner to provide us with new allocation
instructions.
When Asset Allocation Models are to be updated, we will send you written notice
of the updates to the Models at least 30 days in advance of the date the
updated version of the Model is intended to be effective. Contract owners
purchasing contracts who elect to participate in the Asset Allocation Program
within the two week period prior to a date that Asset Allocation Models are to
be updated, will be provided with information regarding the composition of both
the current Asset Allocation Model as well as the proposed changes to the
Model. You should carefully review these notices. If you wish to accept the
changes to your selected Model, you will not need to take any action, as your
Contract Value (and subsequent premium payments, if applicable) will be
reallocated in accordance with the updated Model. If you do not wish to accept
the changes to your selected Model, you have the following alternatives. If you
elected Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal
Benefit for Life Riders (except for Lifetime Income Plus 2008 and Lifetime
Income Plus Solution, as discussed below) you can transfer your Contract Value
to one or more of the Designated Subaccounts (as described in the sections of
this prospectus discussing the riders), or you can notify us in writing that
you have elected to reject the change. If you reject the change and, as a
result, your total Contract Value is no longer invested in accordance with the
prescribed Investment Strategy, your benefits under the applicable rider will
be reduced by 50%. If you elected Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income
Plus Solution, you must transfer your Contract Value to one or more of the
Designated Subaccounts (as described in the sections of this prospectus
discussing the riders), or one of the other available Asset Allocation Models.
Contract owners that own Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus
Solution must always allocate assets in accordance with the Investment
Strategy, and any attempt to allocate assets otherwise will be considered not
in good order and rejected.
Please note, also, that changes may be made to the Build Your Own Asset
Allocation Model that will require contract owners whose existing allocations
will not meet the parameters of the revised Model to provide us with new
allocation instructions. For example, a Portfolio may be moved from one asset
class to another or shares of a Portfolio may become unavailable under the
contract or in the Model. If we do not receive new allocation instructions from
the contract owner in these circumstances in a timely manner after we request
such new instructions, the contract owner's assets will be re-allocated to
Asset Allocation Model C until we receive new instructions.
When a Portfolio in which your assets are invested is closed to new investments
but remains in your contract, your investment in that Portfolio at the time of
the closing will remain, and you will not be re-allocated to Asset Allocation
Model C. However, any subsequent premium payments or transfers requesting an
allocation to such a Portfolio will be considered not in good order, and you
will be asked to provide us with updated allocation instructions.
If you did not elect Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the Guaranteed Minimum
Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders, you may change to a different Asset
Allocation Model or reject the change.
If you choose to reject a change in an Asset Allocation Model in accordance
with the procedures described above, you create your own portfolio (a
"self-directed portfolio"), you have terminated your advisory relationship with
AssetMark and AssetMark provides no investment advice related to the creation
of a self- directed portfolio. Further, once you have rejected a change in a
Model, you are considered to have elected to reject all future changes in the
Model. Therefore, if you reject a Model change and thereby create a
self-directed portfolio, you will not receive a periodic review of or changes
to your portfolio, as would be provided by AssetMark with respect to the Asset
Allocation Models. You will, however, continue to receive a quarterly statement
with information about your Contract Value, as well as written materials from
AssetMark about any changes proposed to be made to the Models, and you can
notify us in writing to allocate your Contract Value in accordance with such
changes.

Selecting an Asset Allocation Model
For contract owners who have not elected Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders.
If you purchase Payment Optimizer Plus, or one of the Guaranteed Minimum
Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders (except for Lifetime Income Plus 2008 and
Lifetime Income Plus Solution, as discussed below) and elect to participate in
the Asset Allocation Program, you are required to allocate your Contract Value
(and subsequent premium payments, if applicable) to Asset Allocation Model C.
If you purchased Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution and
elect to participate in the Asset Allocation Program, you must allocate your
Contract Value (and subsequent premium payments, if applicable) to Asset
Allocation Model A, B, C, or D or the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model. If
you elect to participate in the Asset Allocation Program and you have not
purchased Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal
Benefit for Life Riders, you must choose Asset Allocation Model A, B, C, D or E
for your allocations. We will not make this decision, nor will AssetMark. The
following paragraphs provide some information you may want to consider in
making this decision.
You should consult with your registered representative and/or your financial
adviser on your decision regarding which Asset Allocation Model to select. Your
registered representative can assist you in determining which Model may be best
suited to your financial needs, investment time horizon, and willingness to
accept investment risk, and can help you complete the proper forms to
participate in the Asset Allocation Program. You should also periodically
review these factors with your registered representative to consider whether
you should change Models (or, if you have purchased Payment Optimizer Plus or
one of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders, whether you
should transfer your Contract Value to one or more of the Designated
Subaccounts) to reflect any changes in your personal circumstances. Your
registered representative can help you complete the proper forms to change to a
different Model or transfer to Designated Subaccounts.
In light of our potential payment obligations under the riders, we will not
permit contract owners who have selected a rider to allocate their assets in
either a highly aggressive or highly conservative manner. In deciding whether
to purchase a rider, you and your registered representative should consider
whether an asset allocation not permitted under the rider would best meet your
investment objectives.
You may, in consultation with your registered representative, utilize an
investor profile questionnaire we make available, which asks questions intended
to help you or your registered representative assess your financial needs,
investment time horizon, and willingness to accept investment risk. However,
even if you utilize the investor profile questionnaire, it is your decision, in
consultation with your registered representative, which Model to choose
initially or whether to change to a different Model or transfer to Designated
Subaccounts, as the case may be, at a later time. Neither we nor AssetMark bear
any responsibility for this decision. You may change to a different Model or
transfer to Designated Subaccounts, as the case may be, at any time with a
proper written request or by telephone or electronic instructions, provided a
valid telephone/electronic authorization is on file with us.
Monthly Rebalancing
Each calendar month (on the "monthly anniversary" of your Contract Date), and
on any Valuation Day after any transaction involving a withdrawal, receipt of a
premium payment or a transfer of Contract Value, we rebalance your Contract
Value to maintain the Subaccounts and their corresponding Portfolios, and the
relative percentages of the Subaccounts, for your selected Asset Allocation
Model. This monthly rebalancing takes account of:
. increases and decreases in Contract Value in each Subaccount due to
Subaccount performance; and
. increases and decreases in Contract Value in each Subaccount due to
Subaccount transfers, withdrawals (particularly if taken from specific
Subaccounts you have designated), and premium payments (particularly if
allocated to specific Subaccounts you have designated).
The first monthly rebalancing will occur on the first "monthly anniversary" of
the Contract Date.
We will not rebalance self-directed portfolios (discussed above) unless the
contract owner elects the Portfolio Rebalancing program. For self-directed
portfolios, future premium payments for which no specific allocation
instructions are received will be allocated in accordance with the last
allocation instructions we received, which may have been a prior version of
their Asset Allocation Model. Accordingly, if you have a self-directed
portfolio you should consider providing specific allocation instructions with
each premium payment or contacting us to update your default allocation
instructions.
Quarterly Reports
If you elect to participate in the Asset Allocation Program, you will be sent
quarterly reports that provide information about the Subaccounts within your
Model, as part of your usual quarterly
35
statement. Information concerning the current Models is provided below.
Risks
Although the Asset Allocation Models are designed to optimize returns given the
various levels of risk, there is no assurance that a Model portfolio will not
lose money or not experience volatility. Investment performance of your
Contract Value could be better or worse by participating in an Asset Allocation
Model than if you had not participated. A Model may perform better or worse
than any single Portfolio, Subaccount or asset class or other combinations of
Portfolios, Subaccounts or asset classes. Model performance is dependent upon
the performance of the component Portfolios. Your Contract Value will
fluctuate, and when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
An Asset Allocation Model may not perform as intended. Although the Models are
intended to optimize returns given various levels of risk tolerance, portfolio,
market and asset class performance may differ in the future from the historical
performance and assumptions upon which the Models are based, which could cause
the Models to be ineffective or less effective in reducing volatility.
Periodic updating of the Asset Allocation Models can cause the underlying
Portfolios to incur transactional expenses to raise cash for money flowing out
of the Portfolios or to buy securities with money flowing into the Portfolios.
These expenses can adversely affect performance of the related Portfolios and
the Models.
AssetMark may be subject to competing interests that have the potential to
influence its decision making with regard to the Asset Allocation Program. For
example, the Company may believe that certain Portfolios could benefit from
additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions.
In addition, the Portfolios underlying the Subaccounts may invest, depending
upon their investment objective and decisions by their investment managers, in
securities issued by Genworth Financial, Inc. or its affiliates. AssetMark will
not have any role in determining whether a Portfolio should purchase or sell
Genworth securities. AssetMark may allocate portions of the Asset Allocation
Models to Portfolios which have held, hold or may hold Genworth securities.
AssetMark's decision to allocate a percentage of a Model to such a Portfolio
will be based on the merits of investing in such a Portfolio and a
determination that such an investment is appropriate for the Model.

The Models
Information concerning the Asset Allocation Models is provided on the following
pages. Effective close of business July 23, 2021, Asset Allocation Models A, B,
C, D and E will be updated. Tables disclosing the Model percentage allocations
and Portfolio selections for Asset Allocation Models A, B, C, D and E, before
and after the update, are provided on the next two pages. You should review
this information carefully before selecting or changing a Model.

Build Your Own
Asset Allocation Model
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model is constructed, generally, to allow for the
creation of an equity to fixed income allocation that ranges between 40% equities/60%
fixed income to 80% equities/20% fixed income. These ranges generally fall within the
Investor Profile and Investor Objective for Asset Allocation Model B (Moderately
Conservative Allocation) on one end of the spectrum and for Asset Allocation Model D
(Moderately Aggressive Allocation) on the other. Of course, the Investor Profile and
Investor Objective that your allocation will most closely correspond to will depend on
your actual allocation.

THE GUARANTEE ACCOUNT
Amounts in the Guarantee Account are held in, and are part of, our General
Account. The General Account consists of our assets other than those allocated
to this and other Separate Accounts. Subject to statutory authority, we have
sole discretion over the investment of assets of the General Account. The
assets of the General Account are chargeable with liabilities arising out of
any business we may conduct.
Due to certain exemptive and exclusionary provisions of the federal securities
laws, we have not registered interests in the Guarantee Account under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), and we have not registered either the
Guarantee Account or our General Account as an investment company under the
1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the interests in the Guarantee Account nor our
General Account are generally subject to regulation under the 1933 Act and the
1940 Act. Disclosures relating to the interests in the Guarantee Account and
the General Account, may however, be subject to certain generally applicable
provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy of
statements made in a registration statement. The Guarantee Account may not be
available in all states or markets.
Generally, you may allocate your premium payments and/or transfer assets to the
Guarantee Account. For contracts issued on or after the later of September 2,
2003, or the date on which state insurance authorities approve applicable
contract modifications, we may limit the amount that may be allocated to the
Guarantee Account. Currently, for such contracts, no more than 25% of your
Contract Value, as determined at the time of allocation, may be allocated to
the Guarantee Account. In addition, where permitted by state law, we will
refuse new premium payments or transfers into the Guarantee Account when your
assets in the Guarantee Account are equal to or greater than 25% of your
Contract Value at the time of allocation. We generally exercise our right to
limit or refuse allocations to the Guarantee Account when interest rate periods
are low for prolonged periods of time. Amounts allocated to the Guarantee
Account are credited interest (as described below). Assets in the Guarantee
Account are subject to some, but not all, of the charges we assess in
connection with your contract. See the "Charges and Other Deductions" provision
of this prospectus. The Guarantee Account is not available for contract owners
who have elected Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007, Lifetime
Income Plus 2008, Lifetime Income Plus Solution or Payment Optimizer Plus for
as long as the rider is in effect.
Each time you allocate premium payments or transfer assets to the Guarantee
Account, we establish an interest rate guarantee period. For each interest rate
guarantee period, we guarantee an interest rate for a specified period of time.
At the end of an interest rate guarantee period, a new interest rate will
become effective, and a new interest rate guarantee period for one year will
commence for the remaining portion of that particular allocation.
We determine the interest rates at our sole discretion. The determination made
will be influenced by, but not necessarily correspond to, interest rates
available on fixed income investments which we may acquire with the amounts we
receive as premium payments or transfers of assets under the contracts. You
will have no direct or indirect interest in these investments. We also will
consider other factors in determining interest rates for a guarantee period
including, but not limited to, regulatory and tax requirements, sales
commissions, and administrative expenses borne by us, general economic trends,
and competitive factors. Amounts you allocate to the Guarantee Account (if
available) will not share in the investment performance of our General Account.
We cannot predict or guarantee the level of interest rates in future guarantee
periods. However, the interest rates for any interest rate guarantee period
will be at least the guaranteed interest rate shown in your contract.
We will notify you in writing at least 5 days prior to the expiration date of
any interest rate guarantee period about the then currently available interest
rate guarantee periods and the guaranteed interest rates applicable to such
interest rate guarantee periods. A new one year interest rate guarantee period
will commence automatically unless we receive written notice prior to the end
of the 30-day period following the expiration of the interest rate guarantee
period ("30-day window") of your election of a different interest rate
guarantee period from among those being offered by us at that time, or
instructions to transfer all or a portion of the remaining amount to one or
more Subaccounts subject to certain restrictions. See the "Transfers" provision
of this prospectus. During the 30-day window, the allocation will accrue
interest at the new interest rate guarantee period's interest rate.
To the extent permitted by law, we reserve the right at any time to offer
interest rate guarantee periods that differ than those available when we issued
the contract, and to credit a higher rate of interest on premium payments
allocated to the Guarantee Account participating in a Dollar Cost Averaging
program than would otherwise be credited if not participating in a Dollar Cost
Averaging program. See the "Dollar Cost Averaging Program" provision of this
prospectus. Such a program may not be available to all contracts. We also
reserve the right, at any time, to stop accepting premium payments or transfers
of assets to a particular interest rate guarantee period. Since the specific
interest rate guarantee periods available may change periodically, please
contact our Home Office at the address listed on page 1 of this prospectus to
determine the interest rate guarantee periods currently being offered.

CHARGES AND OTHER DEDUCTIONS
We sell the contracts through registered representatives of broker-dealers.
These registered representatives are also appointed and licensed as insurance
agents of the Company. We pay commissions to the broker-dealers for selling the
contracts. We intend to recover commissions, marketing, administrative and
other expenses and costs of contract benefits, and other incentives we pay,
through fees and charges imposed under the contracts and other corporate
revenue. See the "Sales of the Contracts" provision of this prospectus for more
information.
All of the charges described in this section apply to assets allocated to the
Separate Account. Assets in the Guarantee Account are subject to all of the
charges described in this section except for the mortality and expense risk
charge and the administrative expense charge.
We will deduct the charges described below to cover our costs and expenses,
services provided, and risks assumed under the contracts. We incur certain
costs and expenses for the distribution and administration of the contracts and
for providing the benefits payable thereunder. Our administrative services
include:
. processing applications for and issuing the contracts;
. maintaining records;
. administering income payments;
. furnishing accounting and valuation services (including the calculation
and monitoring of daily Subaccount values);
. reconciling and depositing cash receipts;
. providing tax forms;
. providing contract confirmations and periodic statements;
. providing toll-free inquiry services; and
. furnishing telephone and internet transaction services.
The risks we assume include:
. the risk that the death benefit will be greater than the Surrender Value;
. the risk that withdrawals taken pursuant to a living benefit rider will be
greater than the Surrender Value;
. the risk that the actual life-span of persons receiving income payments
under the contract will exceed the assumptions reflected in our guaranteed
rates (these rates are incorporated in the contract and cannot be changed);
. the risk that more owners than expected will qualify for waivers of the
surrender charges; and
. the risk that our costs in providing the services will exceed our revenues
from contract charges (which cannot be changed by us).
We designed the Bonus Credit as part of the overall sales load structure for
the contracts. When the contracts were designed, we set the Bonus Credit level
and the level of the surrender charge to reflect the overall level of sales
load and distribution expenses associated with the contracts. Although there is
no specific charge for the Bonus Credit, we may use a portion of the surrender
charge and mortality and expense risk charge to help recover the cost of
providing the Bonus Credit under the contract. We may realize a profit from
this feature.
The amount of the charges may not necessarily correspond to the costs
associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designation
of the charge. For example, the surrender charge we collect may not fully cover
all of the sales and distribution expenses we actually incur. We also may
realize a profit on one or more of the charges. We may use any such profits for
any corporate purpose, including the payment of sales expenses.
Transaction Expenses
Surrender Charge
We assess a surrender charge on partial and total surrenders of each premium
payment taken within the first eight years after receipt, unless you meet the
exceptions as described below. You pay this charge to compensate us for the
losses we experience on contract distribution costs.
We calculate the surrender charge separately for each premium payment. For
purposes of calculating this charge, we assume that you withdraw premium
payments on a first-in, first-out basis. We deduct the surrender charge
proportionately from the Subaccounts (excluding the GIS Subaccount(s) if
Guaranteed Income Advantage is elected at the time of application). However, if
there are insufficient assets in the Subaccounts (excluding the GIS
Subaccount(s) if Guaranteed Income Advantage is elected), we will deduct the
charge from all assets in the Guarantee Account. Charges taken from the
Guarantee Account will be taken first from assets that have been in the
Guarantee Account for the longest period of time (and, if Guaranteed Income
Advantage is elected, any remaining
42
withdrawals will then be deducted from the GIS Subaccount(s) from the segment
that has been in effect for the shortest period of time). The surrender charge
is as follows:
Number of Completed Surrender Charge
Years Since We as a Percentage of
Received the the Premium Payment
Premium Payment Surrendered
---------------------------------------
0 8%
1 8%
2 7%
3 6%
4 5%
5 4%
6 3%
7 2%
8 or more 0%
---------------------------------------
Exceptions to the Surrender Charge
We do not assess the surrender charge:
. of amounts of Contract Value representing gain (as defined below) or Bonus
Credits;
. of free withdrawal amounts (as defined below);
. on total or partial surrenders taken under Optional Payment Plan 1,
Optional Payment Plan 2 (for a period of 5 or more years), or Optional
Payment Plan 5; or
. if a waiver of surrender charge provision applies.
You may surrender any gain in your contract (including any Bonus Credits) free
of any surrender charge. We calculate gain in the contract as: (a) plus (b)
minus (c) minus (d), but not less than zero where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day we receive your partial or
total surrender request;
(b) is the total of any partial surrenders previously taken, including
surrender charges;
(c) is the total of premium payments made; and
(d) is the total of any gain previously surrendered.
In addition to any gain, you may partially surrender an amount equal to the
greater of 10% of your total premium payments or any amount surrendered to meet
minimum distribution requirements under the Code each contract year without a
surrender charge (the "free withdrawal amount"). If you are making a withdrawal
from this contract to meet annual minimum distribution requirements under the
Code, and the minimum distribution amount attributable to this contract for the
calendar year ending at or before the last day of the contract year exceeds the
free withdrawal amount, you may withdraw the difference free of surrender
charges. We will deduct amounts surrendered first from any gain in the contract
and then from premiums paid. The free withdrawal amount is not cumulative from
contract year to contract year. (For tax purposes, a surrender is usually
treated as a withdrawal of earnings first.) The free withdrawal amount will not
apply to commutation value taken under Payment Optimizer Plus.
Further, we will waive the surrender charge if you annuitize the contract under
Optional Payment Plan 1 (Life Income with Period Certain), Optional Payment
Plan 2 (Income for a Fixed Period) provided that you select a fixed period of 5
years or more, or Optional Payment Plan 5 (Joint Life and Survivor Income). See
the "Optional Payment Plans" provision of this prospectus. In addition, we will
waive the surrender charges if you take income payments from the GIS
Subaccount(s) pursuant to the terms of Guaranteed Income Advantage or if you
take income payments pursuant to the terms of Payment Optimizer Plus. We may
also waive surrender charges for certain withdrawals made pursuant to Lifetime
Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007, Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime
Income Plus Solution. See the "Optional Payment Plans," "Surrenders and Partial
Surrenders -- Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders," "Income
Payments -- Guaranteed Income Advantage" and "Income Payments -- Payment
Optimizer Plus" provisions of this prospectus.
We also will waive surrender charges arising from a surrender occurring before
income payments begin if, at the time we receive the surrender request, we have
received due proof that the Annuitant has a qualifying terminal illness, or has
a qualifying confinement to a state licensed or legally operated hospital or
inpatient nursing facility for a minimum period as set forth in the contract
(provided the confinement began, or the illness was diagnosed, at least one
year after the contract was issued). If you surrender the contract under the
terminal illness waiver, please remember that we will pay your Contract Value,
which could be less than the death benefit otherwise available. All Annuitants
must be age 80 or younger on the Contract Date to be eligible for this waiver.
The terms and conditions of the waivers are set forth in your contract.
Deductions from the Separate Account
We deduct from the Separate Account an amount, computed daily, at an annual
rate of 1.55% of the daily net assets of the Separate Account. The charge
consists of an administrative expense charge at an effective annual rate of
0.25% and a mortality and expense risk charge at an effective annual rate of
1.30%. These deductions from the Separate Account are reflected in your
Contract Value.
43
Charges for the Living Benefit Rider Options
Charge for Guaranteed Income Advantage
We charge you for expenses related to Guaranteed Income Advantage, if you elect
this rider at the time of application. This charge is deducted daily from the
Separate Account currently at an annual rate of 0.50% of the daily net assets
of the Separate Account. The deduction from the Separate Account is reflected
in your Contract Value. You may elect to receive monthly income under this
rider or you may elect to transfer the value in the GIS Subaccount(s) to
another investment option under your contract and receive income payments. If
you elect to transfer the value in the GIS Subaccount(s) to another investment
option and receive income payments, the rider charge will end. Guaranteed
Income Advantage may not be available in all states and markets. We reserve the
right to discontinue offering Guaranteed Income Advantage at any time and for
any reason.
Charge for Lifetime Income Plus Solution
You may purchase Lifetime Income Plus Solution with or without the Principal
Protection Death Benefit. We assess a charge for the guaranteed minimum
withdrawal benefit provided by the rider. The charge for the guaranteed minimum
withdrawal benefit is calculated quarterly as a percentage of the benefit base,
as defined and determined under the rider, and deducted quarterly from the
Contract Value. On the Contract Date, the benefit base equals the initial
premium payment. The benefit base will change and may be higher than the
Contract Value on any given day.
If you purchase Lifetime Income Plus Solution with the Principal Protection
Death Benefit, then you will be assessed a charge for the Principal Protection
Death Benefit that is in addition to the charge for the guaranteed minimum
withdrawal benefit under the rider. The charge for the Principal Protection
Death Benefit is calculated quarterly as a percentage of the value of the
Principal Protection Death Benefit, as defined and determined under the rider,
and deducted quarterly from the Contract Value. On the Contract Date, the value
of the Principal Protection Death Benefit equals the initial premium payment.
The charge for the Principal Protection Death Benefit is higher if any
Annuitant is age 71 or older at the time of application.
If you reset your benefits under the rider, we will reset the charges for the
rider, which may be higher than your previous charges.

Protection Death Benefit.
On the day the rider and/or the contract terminates, the charges for this rider

Because this contract is no longer offered and sold, Lifetime Income Plus
Solution and the Principal Protection Death Benefit are no longer available to
purchase under the contract.

Contract Value on any given day.
If you purchase Lifetime Income Plus 2008 with the Principal Protection Death
Benefit, then you will be assessed a charge for the Principal Protection Death
Benefit that is in addition to the charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal
benefit under the rider. The charge for the Principal Protection Death Benefit
is calculated quarterly as a percentage of the value of the Principal
Protection Death Benefit, as defined and determined under the rider, and
deducted quarterly from the Contract Value. On the Contract Date, the value of
the Principal Protection Death Benefit equals the initial premium payment. The
charge for the Principal Protection Death Benefit is higher if any Annuitant is
age 71 or older at the time of application.
For contracts that have not reset their Withdrawal Base on or after December 3,
2012, we also apply different charges for the rider for a single Annuitant
contract and a Joint Annuitant contract. Once a contract is a Joint Annuitant
contract and the Joint Annuitant rider charge is applied, the Joint Annuitant
rider charge will continue while the rider is in effect. If a spouse is added
as Joint Annuitant after the contract is issued, new charges may apply. These
new charges may be higher than the charges previously applicable to your
contract.
If you reset your benefits under the rider, we will reset the charges for the
rider, which may be higher than your previous charges.
We currently assess the following charges for the rider, calculated and
deducted as described above, for those contracts that have reset their

and the Principal Protection Death Benefit are no longer available to purchase
under the contract.
Charge for Lifetime Income Plus 2007
The charge for Lifetime Income Plus 2007 for those contracts that reset their
Withdrawal Base on or after July 15, 2019 is equal to 1.25% of the daily net
assets in the Separate Account for both single Annuitant and Joint Annuitant
contracts. The charge for Lifetime Income Plus 2007 for those contracts that
have not reset their Withdrawal Base on or after July 15, 2019 is equal to
0.75% of the daily net assets in the Separate Account for single Annuitant
contracts and 0.85% of the daily net assets in the Separate Account for Joint
Annuitant contracts. Once a contract is a Joint Annuitant contract, and the
Joint Annuitant rider charge is applied, the Joint Annuitant rider charge will
continue while the rider is in effect.
The deduction for the rider charge from the Separate Account is reflected in
your Contract Value. The charge for this rider continues even if you do not
allocate assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy and the
benefits you are eligible to receive are reduced. If you reset your benefit and
allocate assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy available
at that time, we will reset the charge for the rider, which may be higher than
your previous charge, but will never exceed an annualized rate of 2.00% of your
daily net assets in the Separate Account. As disclosed above, if you reset your
benefit on or after July 15, 2019, the charge for the rider is 1.25% of your
daily net assets in the Separate Account.
Lifetime Income Plus 2007 is not available for contracts issued on or after
September 8, 2008.
Charge for Lifetime Income Plus
We charge you for expenses related to Lifetime Income Plus, if you elect this
rider at the time of application. The charge for Lifetime Income Plus for those
contracts that reset their Withdrawal Base on or after July 15, 2019 is equal
to 1.25% of the daily net assets in the Separate Account for both single
Annuitant and Joint Annuitant contracts. The charge for Lifetime Income Plus
for those contracts that have not reset their Withdrawal Base on or after
July 15, 2019 is equal to 0.60% of the daily net assets in the Separate Account
for single Annuitant contracts and 0.75% of the daily net assets in the
Separate Account for Joint Annuitant contracts. For purposes of this rider,
once a contract is a Joint Annuitant contract, and the higher rider charge is
applied, the higher rider charge will continue while the rider is in effect,
even if the contract becomes a single Annuitant contract. The rider charge for
a Joint Annuitant contract is in addition to the Joint Annuitant charge that is
applicable and charged on the contract.
The deduction for the rider charge from the Separate Account is reflected in
your Contract Value. The charge for this rider continues even if you do not
allocate assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy and the
benefits you are eligible to receive are reduced. If you reset your benefit and
allocate assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy available
at that time, we will reset the charge for the rider, which may be higher than
your previous charge, but will never exceed an annualized rate of 2.00% of your
daily net assets in the Separate Account. As disclosed above, if you reset your
benefit on or after July 15, 2019, the charge for the rider is 1.25% of your
daily net assets in the Separate Account.

2008.
Charge for Payment Optimizer Plus
We assess a charge for Payment Optimizer Plus currently equal to an annualized
rate of 0.50% of the daily net assets of the Separate Account for single
Annuitant contracts and 0.65% of the daily net assets of the Separate Account
for Joint Annuitant contracts. For purposes of this rider, once a contract is a
Joint
46
Annuitant contract, and the higher rider charge is applied, the higher rider
charge will continue while the rider is in effect, even if the contract becomes
a single Annuitant contract. The rider charge for a Joint Annuitant contract is
in addition to the Joint Annuitant charge that is applicable and charged on the
contract.
The deduction for the rider charge from the Separate Account is reflected in
your Contract Value and the value of your Annuity Units. The charge for this
rider continues even if you do not allocate assets in accordance with the
prescribed Investment Strategy and the benefits you are eligible to receive are
reduced. If you reset your benefit and allocate assets in accordance with the
prescribed Investment Strategy available at that time, we will reset the charge
for the rider, which may be higher than your previous charge, but will never
exceed an annual rate of 1.25%.
If you purchase Payment Optimizer Plus, after the Annuity Commencement Date you
may request to terminate your contract and the rider and (assuming the right to
cancel period has ended) receive the commuted value of your income payments in
a lump sum (the "commutation value"). In calculating the commutation value, we
assess a commutation charge. The amount of the commutation charge will be the
surrender charge that would otherwise apply under the contract, in accordance
with the surrender charge schedule.
Payment Optimizer Plus is not available for contracts issued after October 17,
2008
Charges for the Death Benefit Rider Options
For contracts issued on or after the later of May 1, 2003, or the date on which
state insurance authorities approve the applicable contract modifications, the
following provisions apply:
Charge for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider Option

for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider Option among the Subaccounts in the
same proportion that your assets in each Subaccount bear to your total assets
in the Separate Account at the time we take the charge. If your assets in the

Separate Account, if any, and then from your assets in the Guarantee Account
(from the amounts that have been in the Guarantee Account for the longest
period of time). At surrender, we will charge you a pro-rata portion of the
annual charge. The charge for the Earnings Protector and Greater of Annual
Step-Up and 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option is an annual rate of 0.70% of

For contracts issued prior to May 1, 2003, or prior to the date on which state
insurance authorities approve applicable contract modifications, the following
provision applies:
Charge for the Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
We charge you for expenses related to the Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit. We deduct this charge against the Contract Value at each contract
anniversary and at the time you fully surrender the contract. This charge is
assessed in order to compensate us for the increased risks and expenses

allocate the annual charge for the Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
among the Subaccounts in the same proportion that your assets in each
Subaccount bear to your total assets in the Separate Account at the time we
take the charge. If the assets in the Separate Account are not sufficient to
cover the charge for the Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, we will
deduct the charge first from your assets in the Separate Account, if any, and
then from your assets in the Guarantee Account (from the amounts that have been
in the Guarantee Account for the longest period of time). At full surrender, we
will charge you a pro-rata portion of the annual charge.
We guarantee that this charge will never exceed an annual rate of 0.35% of your
prior contract year's average benefit amount (we currently charge 0.25%). The
rate that applies to your contract is fixed at issue.
Charge for the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit
We charge you for expenses related to the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit. At
the beginning of each contract year after the first contract year, we deduct a
charge against the average of:
(1) the Contract Value at the beginning of the previous contract year; and
(2) the Contract Value at the end of the previous contract year.
At surrender, the charge is made against the average of:
(1) the Contract Value at the beginning of the current contract year; and
(2) the Contract Value at surrender.
The charge at surrender will be a pro rata portion of the annual charge.
We currently charge an annual rate of 0.20% of your average Contract Value as
described above. However, we guarantee that this charge will never exceed an
annual rate of 0.35% of your prior contract year's average Contract Value. The
rate that applies to your contract will be fixed at issue. We will allocate the
annual charge among the Subaccounts in the same proportion that your assets in
each Subaccount bear to your total assets in all Subaccounts at the time we
take the charge. If there are not sufficient assets in the Subaccounts to cover
the charge, we will deduct the charge first from your assets in the Separate
Account, if any, and then from your assets in the Guarantee Account. Deductions
from the Guarantee Account will be taken first from the amounts (including any
interest earned) that have been in the Guarantee Account for the longest period
of time.
The following provisions apply to all contracts:
Other Charges
Annual Contract Charge
We will deduct an annual contract charge of $25 from your Contract Value to
compensate us for certain administrative expenses incurred in connection with
the contract. We will deduct the charge on each contract anniversary and at
full surrender. We will waive this charge if your Contract Value at the time of
deduction is $10,000 or more.
48
We will allocate the annual contract charge among the Subaccounts in the same
proportion that your assets in each Subaccount bear to your total assets in the
Separate Account at the time the charge is taken. If there are insufficient
assets allocated to the Separate Account, we will deduct any remaining portion
of the charge from the Guarantee Account proportionally from all assets in the
Guarantee Account.
Deductions for Premium Taxes
We will deduct charges for any premium tax or other tax levied by any
governmental entity from premium payments or Contract Value when the premium
tax is incurred or when we pay proceeds under the contract (proceeds include
surrenders, partial surrenders, income payments and death benefit payments).
The applicable premium tax rates that states and other governmental entities
impose on the purchase of an annuity are subject to change by legislation, by
administrative interpretation, or by judicial action. These premium taxes
generally depend upon the law of your state of residence. The tax generally
ranges from 0.0% to 3.5%.
Portfolio Charges
Each Portfolio incurs certain fees and expenses. These include management fees
and other expenses associated with the daily operation of each Portfolio, as
well as Rule 12b-1 fees and/or service share fees, if applicable. To pay for
these expenses, the Portfolio makes deductions from its assets. A Portfolio may
also impose a redemption charge on Subaccount assets that are redeemed from the
Portfolio. Portfolio expenses, including any redemption charges, are more fully
described in the prospectus for each Portfolio. Portfolio expenses are the
responsibility of the Portfolio or Fund. They are not fixed or specified under
the terms of the contract and are not the responsibility of the Company.
Transfer Charges
We reserve the right to impose a charge of up to $10 per transfer. This charge
represents the costs we incur for effecting any such transfer. We will not
realize a profit from imposing this charge.
THE CONTRACT
The contract is an individual flexible deferred variable annuity contract. Your
rights and benefits are described below and in the contract. There may be
differences in your contract (such as differences in fees, charges, and
benefits) because of requirements of the state where we issued your contract.
We will include any such differences in your contract.
This contract is no longer available for new sales, although additional premium
payments may be made in accordance with the terms of the contract and as
described in the "Premium Payments" provision.
This contract may be used with certain tax qualified retirement plans. The
contract includes attributes such as tax deferral on accumulated earnings.
Qualified retirement plans provide their own tax deferral benefit; the purchase
of this contract does not provide additional tax deferral benefits beyond those
provided in the qualified retirement plan. Accordingly, if this contract is
purchased as a Qualified Contract, you should consider purchasing the contract
for its death benefit, income benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits.
Please consult a tax adviser for information specific to your circumstances in
order to determine whether this contract is an appropriate investment for you.
Purchasing the contract through a tax-free "Section 1035" exchange. Section
1035 of the Code generally permits you to exchange one annuity contract for
another in a "tax-free exchange." Therefore, you can use the proceeds from
another annuity contract to make premium payments for this contract. Before
making an exchange, you should carefully compare this contract to your current
contract. You may have to pay a surrender charge under your current contract to
exchange it for this contract, and this contract has its own surrender charges
which would apply to you. The fees and charges under this contract may be
higher (or lower), and the benefits may be different, than those of your
current contract. In addition, you may have to pay federal income and penalty
taxes on the exchange if it does not qualify for Section 1035 treatment. You
should not exchange another contract for this contract unless you determine,
after evaluating all of the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest.
Please note that the person who sells you this contract generally will earn a
commission on the sale.
Ownership
As owner, you have all rights under the contract, subject to the rights of any
irrevocable beneficiary. Two persons may apply for a contract as joint owners.
Joint owners have equal undivided interests in their contract. A joint owner
may not be named for a Qualified Contract. That means that each may exercise
any ownership rights on behalf of the other, except for ownership changes.
Joint owners also have the right of survivorship. This means if a joint owner
dies, his or her interest in the contract passes to the surviving owner. You
must have our approval to add a joint owner after we issue the contract. We may
require additional information if joint ownership is requested after the
contract is issued.
49
Subject to certain restrictions imposed by electable rider options and as
otherwise stated below, before the Maturity Date, you may change:
. your Maturity Date to any date at least ten years after your last premium
payment;
. your Optional Payment Plan;
. the allocation of your investments among the Subaccounts and/or the
Guarantee Account (subject to certain restrictions listed in your contract
and in the "Transfers" provision); and
. the owner, joint owner, primary beneficiary, contingent beneficiary
(unless the primary beneficiary or contingent beneficiary is named as an
irrevocable beneficiary), and contingent Annuitant upon written notice to
our Home Office, and provided the Annuitant is living at the time of the
request. If you change a beneficiary, your plan selection will no longer
be in effect unless you request that it continue. In addition, you may
change any non-natural owner to another non-natural owner. Changing the
owner or joint owner may have tax consequences and you should consult a
tax adviser before doing so.
We must receive your request for a change at our Home Office in a form
satisfactory to us. The change will take effect as of the date you sign the
request. The change will be subject to any payment made before we recorded the
change. Please note that if you elect Guaranteed Income Advantage at the time
of application, you may not change your scheduled income start date or your
Optional Payment Plan. In addition, partial surrenders and/or transfers from
the GIS Subaccount(s) will lower your guaranteed income floor and cause you to
lose your right to continue to make scheduled transfers into the segment from
which the partial surrender and/or transfer was made. If you elect Payment
Optimizer Plus, Lifetime Income Plus or Lifetime Income Plus 2007 at the time
of application, the benefits you receive under such rider may be reduced if
your assets are not allocated in accordance with the Investment Strategy
prescribed by your rider. Contract owners that own Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or
Lifetime Income Plus Solution must always allocate assets in accordance with
the Investment Strategy. You may not however, change the Optional Payment Plan
once elected at the time of application.
Assignment
An owner of a Non-Qualified Contract may assign some or all of his or her
rights under the contract with our consent. However, an assignment may
terminate certain death benefits provided by rider option. An assignment must
occur before the Maturity Date and while the Annuitant is still living. Once
proper notice of the assignment is recorded by our Home Office, the assignment
will become effective as of the date the written request was signed.
Qualified Contracts, IRAs and Tax Sheltered Annuities may not be assigned,
pledged or otherwise transferred except where allowed by law.
If you elect Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal
Benefit for Life Riders, our Home Office must approve any assignment, unless
such assignment was made pursuant to a court order.
Guaranteed Income Advantage will terminate upon assignment of the contract
unless such assignment is a result of legal process. Upon termination of
Guaranteed Income Advantage, all assets in the GIS Subaccount(s) will be
transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money
Market Fund as of the Valuation Day the assignment is received. If the
assignment is received on a non-Valuation Day, the assets will be transferred
on the next Valuation Day.
We are not responsible for the validity or tax consequences of any assignment.
We are not liable for any payment or settlement made before the assignment is
recorded. Assignments will not be recorded until our Home Office receives
sufficient direction from the owner and the assignee regarding the proper
allocation of contract rights.
Amounts pledged or assigned will be treated as distributions and will be
included in gross income to the extent that the Contract Value exceeds the
investment in the contract for the taxable year in which it was pledged or
assigned.
Assignment of the entire Contract Value may cause the portion of the contract
exceeding the total investment in the contract and previously taxed amounts to
be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes each year that the
assignment is in effect.
Amounts assigned may be subject to an IRS tax penalty equal to 10% of the
amount included in gross income.
Premium Payments
You may make premium payments at any frequency and in the amount you select,
subject to certain limitations. You must obtain our approval before you make
total premium payments for an Annuitant age 79 or younger that exceed
$2,000,000 in the aggregate in any variable annuity contracts issued by the
Company or any of its affiliates. If the Annuitant is age 80 or older at the
time of payment, the total amount not subject to prior approval is $1,000,000
in the aggregate in any variable annuity contracts issued by the Company or any
of its affiliates.
50
Premium payments may be made at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the
surrender of the contract, or the death of the owner (or joint owner, if
applicable), whichever comes first.
The minimum initial premium payment is $10,000. We may accept a lower initial
premium payment in the case of certain group sales. Each additional premium
payment must be at least $1,000 for Non-Qualified Contracts ($200 if paid by
electronic fund transfers), $50 for IRA Contracts, and $100 for other Qualified
Contracts.
We reserve the right to refuse to accept a premium payment for any lawful
reason and in a manner that does not unfairly discriminate against similarly
situated purchasers. If you have one or more guaranteed benefits and we
exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional
limitations on, contributions to the contract and/or contributions and/or
transfers into the Subaccounts, you may no longer be able to fund your
guaranteed benefit(s). This means that if you have already funded your
guaranteed benefit(s) by allocating amounts according to the prescribed
Investment Strategy for the rider(s), you may no longer be able to increase
your Contract Value and the benefit base(s) associated with your guaranteed
benefit(s) through contributions and transfers. (For more information about the
potential impact of limitations on your ability to make subsequent premium
payments, see "Important Note" under "Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for
Life Riders" and "Payment Optimizer Plus.")
Valuation Day and Valuation Period
We will value Accumulation and Annuity Units once daily as of the close of
regular trading (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) for each day the New York
Stock Exchange is open except for days on which a Portfolio does not value its
shares. If a Valuation Period contains more than one day, the unit values will
be the same for each day in the Valuation Period.
Allocation of Premium Payments
We place premium payments into the Subaccounts, each of which invests in shares
of a corresponding Portfolio, and/or the Guarantee Account, according to your
instructions. You may allocate premium payments in the Subaccounts plus the
Guarantee Account at any one time. The Guarantee Account may not be available
in all states or in all markets. The percentage of premium payment which you
can put into any one Subaccount or guarantee period must equal a whole
percentage and cannot be less than $100. In addition, for contracts issued on
or after the later of September 2, 2003, or the date on which state insurance
authorities approve applicable contract modifications, we may limit the amount
that may be allocated to the Guarantee Account. Currently, no more than 25% of
your Contract Value, as determined at the time of allocation, may be allocated
to the Guarantee Account.
If you have elected Guaranteed Income Advantage, you may not allocate premium
payments directly to the GIS Subaccount(s); allocations to the GIS
Subaccount(s) must be made by scheduled transfers pursuant to pro rata
scheduled transfers from all other Subaccounts in which you have assets. If you
have elected the Payment Optimizer Plus, Lifetime Income Plus or Lifetime
Income Plus 2007, you must allocate all premium payments in accordance with the
Investment Strategy prescribed by the rider in order to obtain the full benefit
of the rider. The benefits you receive under the rider may be reduced if your
premium payments are not allocated in accordance with the Investment Strategy.
Contract owners that own Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus
Solution must always allocate assets in accordance with the Investment
Strategy. See the "Surrenders and Partial Surrenders -- Guaranteed Minimum
Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders," "Income Payments -- Guaranteed Income
Advantage" and "Income Payments -- Payment Optimizer Plus," provisions of the
prospectus.
Upon allocation to the appropriate Subaccounts, we convert premium payments
into Accumulation Units. We determine the number of Accumulation Units credited
by dividing the amount allocated to each Subaccount by the value of an
Accumulation Unit for that Subaccount on the Valuation Day on which we receive
any additional premium payment at our Home Office. The number of Accumulation
Units determined in this way is not changed by any subsequent change in the
value of an Accumulation Unit. However, the dollar value of an Accumulation
Unit will vary depending not only upon how well the Portfolio's investments
perform, but also upon the expenses of the Separate Account and the Portfolios.
You may change the allocation of subsequent premium payments at any time,
without charge, by sending us acceptable notice. The new allocation will apply
to any new premium payments made after we receive notice of the change at our
Home Office.
Bonus Credits
The Bonus Credit is an amount we add to each premium payment we receive.
For contracts issued on or after the later of October 29, 2002 or the date on
which state insurance authorities approve the applicable contract
modifications, and if the Annuitant is age 80 or younger when the contract is
issued, we will add 5% of each premium payment to your Contract Value. For
contracts issued prior to October 29, 2002 or prior to the date on which state
insurance authorities approve the applicable contract
51
modifications, and if the Annuitant is age 80 or younger when the contract is
issued, we will add 4% of each premium payment to your Contract Value. If the
Annuitant is age 81 or older at the time of issue, we will not pay any Bonus
Credits. The Annuitant cannot be age 81 or older at the time of application,
unless we approve an Annuitant of an older age. We fund the Bonus Credits from
our General Account. We apply the Bonus Credits when we apply your premium
payment to your Contract Value, and allocate the credits on a pro-rata basis to
the investment options you select in the same ratio as the applicable premium
payment. We do not consider Bonus Credits as "premium payments" for purposes of
the contract. In addition, please note that any applicable Bonus Credit will
not be included in the Withdrawal Base, Rider Death Benefit, Principal
Protection Death Benefit or Roll-Up Value, if applicable, if you elected
Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007 or Lifetime Income Plus 2008;
the Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Roll-Up Value, Maximum Anniversary Value
or Principal Protection Death Benefit if you elected Lifetime Income Plus
Solution; or the benefit base if you elected the Payment Optimizer Plus. You
will have to reset your benefit under the terms of the applicable rider to
capture the Bonus Credit or any related earnings in the Withdrawal Base,
Maximum Anniversary Value or benefit base. You should know that over time and
under certain circumstances (such as an extended period of poor market
performance), the costs associated with the Bonus Credit may exceed the sum of
the Bonus Credit and any related earnings. You should consider this possibility
before purchasing the contract. The Bonus Credit is referred to as an "enhanced
premium amount" in your contract.
Valuation of Accumulation Units
Partial surrenders, surrenders and payment of a death benefit all result in the
cancellation of an appropriate number of Accumulation Units. We cancel
Accumulation Units as of the end of the Valuation Period on which we receive
notice or instructions with regard to the surrender, partial surrender or
payment of a death benefit. We value Accumulation Units for each Subaccount
separately. The Accumulation Unit value at the end of every Valuation Day
equals the Accumulation Unit value at the end of the preceding Valuation Day
multiplied by the net investment factor (described below). We arbitrarily set
the Accumulation Unit value at the inception of the Subaccount at $10. On any
Valuation Day, we determine your Subaccount value by multiplying the number of
Accumulation Units attributable to your contract by the Accumulation Unit value
for that day.
The net investment factor is an index used to measure the investment
performance of a Subaccount from one Valuation Period to the next. The net
investment factor for any Subaccount for any Valuation Period reflects the
change in the net asset value per share of the Portfolio held in the Subaccount
from one Valuation Period to the next, adjusted for the daily deduction of the
administrative expense charges, mortality and expense risk charges, and any
applicable optional rider charges (but not any optional death benefit rider
charges) from assets in the Subaccount. The charges for Lifetime Income Plus
2008, Lifetime Income Plus Solution and the Death Benefit Rider Options,
however, are deducted from your Contract Value. If any "ex-dividend" date
occurs during the Valuation Period, we take into account the per share amount
of any dividend or capital gain distribution so that the unit value is not
impacted. Also, if we need to reserve money for taxes, we take into account a
per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for which we determine to
have resulted from the operations of the Subaccount.
The value of an Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease based on the net
investment factor. Changes in the net investment factor may not be directly
proportional to changes in the net asset value of the Portfolio because of the
deduction of Separate Account charges. Though the number of Accumulation Units
will not change as a result of investment experience, the value of an
Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to Valuation
Period. See the Statement of Additional Information for more details.
TRANSFERS
Transfers Before the Maturity Date
All owners may transfer all or a portion of their assets between and among the
Subaccounts of the Separate Account and the Guarantee Account (if available) on
any Valuation Day prior to the Maturity Date, subject to certain conditions
imposed by the contract and as stated below. Owners may not, however, transfer
assets in the Guarantee Account from one interest rate guarantee period to
another interest rate guarantee period. If you elect Guaranteed Income
Advantage, once you make a transfer from a segment that corresponds to a GIS
Subaccount, you may not make subsequent transfers to that segment corresponding
to that GIS Subaccount. If you elect Payment Optimizer Plus, Lifetime Income
Plus or Lifetime Income Plus 2007, the benefits you receive under such rider
may be reduced if, after a transfer, your assets are not allocated in
accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy. Contract owners that own
Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution must always allocate
assets in accordance with the Investment Strategy.
We process transfers among the Subaccounts and between the Subaccounts and the
Guarantee Account as of the end of the Valuation Period that we receive the
transfer request in good order at our Home Office. There may be limitations
placed on
52
multiple transfer requests made at different times during the same Valuation
Period involving the same Subaccounts or the Guarantee Account. We may postpone
transfers to, from, or among the Subaccounts and/or the Guarantee Account under
certain circumstances. See the "Requesting Payments" provision of this
prospectus.
Transfers from the Guarantee Account to the Subaccounts
We may limit and/or restrict transfers from the Guarantee Account to the
Subaccounts. The Guarantee Account may not be available in all states or in all
markets. For any allocation from the Guarantee Account to the Subaccounts, the
limited amount will not be less than any accrued interest on that allocation
plus 25% of the original amount of that allocation. Unless you are
participating in a Dollar Cost Averaging program (see the "Dollar Cost
Averaging Program" provision), you may make such transfers only during the 30
day period beginning with the end of the preceding interest rate guarantee
period applicable to that particular allocation. We may also limit the amount
that you may transfer to the Subaccount.
Transfers from the Subaccounts to the Guarantee Account
We may restrict certain transfers from the Subaccounts to the Guarantee
Account. The Guarantee Account may not be available in all states or in all
markets. For contracts issued on or after the later of September 2, 2003, or
the date on which state insurance authorities approve applicable contract
modifications, we may also limit the amount that may be allocated to the
Guarantee Account. Currently, for such contracts, no more than 25% of your
Contract Value, as determined at the time of allocation, may be allocated to
the Guarantee Account. In addition, where permitted by state law, we will
refuse new premium payments or transfers into the Guarantee Account when your
assets in the Guarantee Account are equal to or greater than 25% of your
Contract Value at the time of allocation. We generally exercise our right to
limit or refuse allocations to the Guarantee Account when interest rate periods
are low for prolonged periods of time. In addition, we reserve the right to
prohibit or limit transfers from the Subaccounts to the Guarantee Account
during the six month period following the transfer of any amount from the
Guarantee Account to any Subaccount.
Transfers Among the Subaccounts
All owners may submit 12 Subaccount transfers each calendar year by voice
response, Internet, telephone, facsimile, U.S. Mail or overnight delivery
service. Once such 12 Subaccount transfers have been executed, a letter will be
sent notifying owners that they may submit additional transfers only in writing
by U.S. Mail or by overnight delivery service, and transfer requests sent by
the Internet, same day mail, courier service, telephone or facsimile will not
be accepted under any circumstances. Once we receive your mailed transfer
request at our Home Office, such transfer cannot be cancelled. We also will not
cancel transfer requests that have not yet been received, i.e., you may not
call to cancel a transfer request sent by U.S. Mail or overnight delivery
service. If you wish to change a transfer request sent by U.S. Mail or
overnight delivery service, such change must also be sent in writing by U.S.
Mail or by overnight delivery service. We will process that transfer request as
of the Valuation Day the new transfer request is received at our Home Office.
Currently, we do not charge for transfers. However, we reserve the right to
assess a charge of up to $10 per transfer. The minimum transfer amount is $100
or the entire balance in the Subaccount or interest rate guarantee period if
the transfer will leave a balance of less than $100.
We also reserve the right to not honor your transfer request if your transfer
is a result of more than one trade involving the same Subaccount within a 30
day period. We will generally invoke this right when either the Portfolio(s) or
we see a pattern of frequent transfers between the same Portfolios within a
short period of time (i.e., transfers among the same Subaccounts occur within
five to 15 days of each other).
In addition, we may not honor transfers made by third parties. See the
"Transfer by Third Parties" provision of this prospectus.
If a transfer request is not processed, a letter will be sent notifying you
that your transfer request was not honored. If we do not honor a transfer
request, we will not count that request as a transfer for purposes of the 12
transfers allowed each calendar year as described in the previous paragraphs.
When thinking about a transfer of assets, you should consider the inherent
risks involved. Frequent transfers based on short-term expectations may
increase the risk that you will make a transfer at an inopportune time. Also,
because certain restrictions on transfers are applied at the discretion of the
Portfolios in which the Subaccount invests, it is possible that owners will be
treated differently and there could be inequitable treatment among owners if a
Portfolio does not apply equal treatment to all shareholders. See the "Special
Note on Frequent Transfers" provision of this prospectus.
These restrictions will apply to all owners and their designated third
party(ies), unless such transfer is being made pursuant to:
(1) a Dollar Cost Averaging program;
(2) a Portfolio Rebalancing program;
53
(3) the terms of an approved Fund substitution or Fund liquidation; or
(4) a Portfolio's refusal to allow the purchase of shares, either on behalf
of an individual owner or on the entire Separate Account, in which case,
the Portfolio's refusal to allow the purchase of shares will not be
considered a transfer for calculation of the 12 transfers allowed per
calendar year by voice response, Internet, telephone, facsimile, U.S.
Mail or overnight delivery service.
In addition, the restrictions and charges listed above do not apply to any:
(1) scheduled transfers made to the GIS Subaccount(s) pursuant to the terms
of Guaranteed Income Advantage; or
(2) transfers made among the Subaccounts pursuant to automatic rebalancing
of assets made under the terms of Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders.
Sometimes, we will not honor transfer requests. We will not honor a transfer
request if:
(1) any Subaccount that would be affected by the transfer is unable to
purchase or to redeem shares of the Portfolio in which the Subaccount
invests; or
(2) the transfer would adversely affect Unit Values.
The affected Portfolio(s) determine whether items (1) or (2) above apply.
We will treat all owners equally with respect to transfer requests.
Telephone/Internet Transactions
All owners may make their first 12 transfers in any calendar year among the
Subaccounts or between the Subaccounts and the Guarantee Account by calling or
electronically contacting us. Transactions that can be conducted over the
telephone and Internet include, but are not necessarily limited to:
(1) the first 12 transfers of assets among the Subaccounts or between the
Subaccounts and the Guarantee Account in any calendar year (this
includes any changes in premium payment allocations when such changes
include a transfer of assets);
(2) Dollar Cost Averaging; and
(3) Portfolio Rebalancing.
We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions we receive
are genuine. Such procedures may include, but are not limited to:
(1) requiring you or a third party you authorized to provide some form of
personal identification before we act on the telephone and/or Internet
instructions;
(2) confirming the telephone/Internet transaction in writing to you or a
third party you authorized; and/or
(3) tape recording telephone instructions or retaining a record of your
electronic request.
We reserve the right to limit or prohibit telephone and Internet transactions.
We will delay making a payment or processing a transfer request if:
(1) the disposal or valuation of the Separate Account's assets is not
reasonably practicable because the New York Stock Exchange is closed;
(2) on nationally recognized holidays, trading is restricted by the New York
Stock Exchange;
(3) an emergency exists making the disposal or valuation of securities held
in the Separate Account impracticable; or
(4) the SEC by order permits postponement to protect our owners.
Rules and regulations of the SEC will govern as to when the conditions
described in (3) and (4) above exist. If we are closed on days when the New
York Stock Exchange is open, Contract Value may be affected since owners will
not have access to their account.
Confirmation of Transactions
We will not be liable for following instructions that we reasonably determine
to be genuine. We will send you a confirmation of any transfer we process.
Systematic transactions, such as those related to portfolio rebalancing or
dollar cost averaging, generally will be reported in quarterly statements. You
are responsible for verifying transfer confirmations and notifying us of any
errors within 30 days of receiving the confirmation statement or, for
systematic transactions not reported on a trade confirmation, the quarterly
statement.
Special Note on Reliability
Please note that the Internet or our telephone system may not always be
available. Any computer or telephone system,
54
whether it is ours, yours, your service provider's, or your registered
representative's, can experience unscheduled outages or slowdowns for a variety
of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing your
request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy
use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are
experiencing problems, you can make your transaction request by writing our
Home Office.
Transfers by Third Parties
As a general rule and as a convenience to you, we allow you to give third
parties the right to conduct transfers on your behalf. However, when the same
third party possesses this ability on behalf of many owners, the result can be
simultaneous transfers involving large amounts of assets. Such transfers can
disrupt the orderly management of the Portfolios underlying the contract, can
result in higher costs to owners, and are generally not compatible with the
long-range goals of owners. We believe that such simultaneous transfers
effected by such third parties are not in the best interests of all beneficial
shareholders of the Portfolios underlying the contracts, and the management of
the Portfolios share this position.
We have instituted procedures to assure that the transfer requests that we
receive have, in fact, been made by the owners in whose names they are
submitted.
Consequently, we may refuse transfers made by third parties on behalf of an
owner in a number of circumstances, which include but are not limited to:
(1) transfers made on behalf of many owners by one third party (or several
third parties who belong to the same firm) where the transfer involves
the same Subaccounts and large amounts of assets;
(2) when we have not received adequate authorization from the owner allowing
a third party to make transfers on his or her behalf; and
(3) when we believe, under all facts and circumstances received, that the
owner or his or her authorized agent is not making the transfer.
We require documentation to provide sufficient proof that the third party
making the trade is in fact duly authorized by the owner. This information
includes, but is not limited to:
(1) documentation signed by the owner or a court authorizing a third party
to act on the owner's behalf;
(2) passwords and encrypted information;
(3) additional owner verification when appropriate; and
(4) recorded conversations.
We will not be held liable for refusing a transfer made by a third party when
we have a reasonable basis for believing such third party is not authorized to
make a transfer on the owner's behalf or we have a reasonable basis for
believing the third party is acting in a fraudulent manner.
Special Note on Frequent Transfers
The Separate Account does not accommodate frequent transfers of Contract Value
among Subaccounts. When owners or someone on their behalf submit requests to
transfer all or a portion of their assets between Subaccounts, the requests
result in the purchase and redemption of shares of the Portfolios in which the
Subaccounts invest. Frequent Subaccount transfers, therefore, cause
corresponding frequent purchases and redemptions of shares of the Portfolios.
Frequent purchases and redemptions of shares of the Portfolios can dilute the
value of a Portfolio's shares, disrupt the management of the Portfolio's
investment portfolio, and increase brokerage and administrative costs.
Accordingly, when an owner or someone on their behalf engages in frequent
Subaccount transfers, other owners and persons with rights under the contracts
(such as Annuitants and beneficiaries) may be harmed.
The Separate Account discourages frequent transfers, purchases and redemptions.
To discourage frequent Subaccount transfers, we adopted the policy described in
the "Transfers Among the Subaccounts" section. This policy requires owners who
request more than 12 Subaccount transfers in a calendar year to submit such
requests in writing by U.S. Mail or by overnight delivery service (the "U.S.
Mail requirement"). The U.S. Mail requirement creates a delay of at least one
day between the time transfer decisions are made and the time such transfers
are processed. This delay is intended to discourage frequent Subaccount
transfers by limiting the effectiveness of abusive "market timing" strategies
(in particular, "time-zone" arbitrage) that rely on "same-day" processing of
transfer requests.
In addition, we will not honor transfer requests if any Subaccount that would
be affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of the
Portfolio in which the Subaccount invests or if the transfer would adversely
affect Accumulation Unit values. Whether these restrictions apply is determined
by the affected Portfolio(s), and although we apply the restrictions uniformly
when we receive information from the Portfolio(s), we cannot guarantee that the
Portfolio(s) will apply their policies and procedures in a uniform basis.
There can be no assurance that the U.S. Mail requirement will be effective in
limiting frequent Subaccount transfers or that we can prevent all frequent
Subaccount transfer activity that may adversely affect owners, other persons
with material rights
55
under the contract, or Portfolio shareholders generally. For instance, imposing
the U.S. Mail requirement after 12 Subaccount transfers may not be restrictive
enough to deter an owner seeking to engage in abusing market timing strategies.
We may revise our frequent Subaccount transfer policy and related procedures,
at our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice, as we deem
necessary or appropriate to better detect and deter frequent transfer activity
that may adversely affect owners, other persons with material rights under the
Policies, or Portfolio shareholders generally, to comply with state or federal
regulatory requirements, or to impose additional or alternative restrictions on
owners engaging in frequent Subaccount transfers. For example, we may invoke
our right to refuse transfers if the transfer involves the same Subaccount
within a 30 day period and/or we may change our procedures to monitor for a
different number of transfers within a specified time period or to impose a
minimum time period between each transfer.
There are inherent risks that changing our policies and procedures in the
future may not be effective in limiting frequent Subaccount transfers. We will
not implement any policy and procedure at the contract level that discriminates
among owners, however, we may be compelled to adopt policies and procedures
adopted by the Portfolios on behalf of the Portfolios and we will do so unless
we cannot service such policies and procedures or we believe such policies and
procedures contradict state or federal regulations or such policies and
procedures contradict with the terms of your contract.
As stated in the previous paragraph, each of the Portfolios in which the
Subaccounts invest may have its own policies and procedures with respect to
frequent purchases and redemption of Portfolio shares. The prospectuses for the
Portfolios describe any such policies and procedures. For example, a Portfolio
may assess redemption fees (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares
held for a relatively short period of time. The frequent trading policies and
procedures of a Portfolio may be different, and more or less restrictive, than
the frequent trading policies and procedures of other Portfolios and the
policies and procedures we have adopted to discourage frequent Subaccount
transfers. Owners should be aware that we may not have the operational
capability to monitor owners' Subaccount transfer requests and apply the
frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective Portfolios that
would be affected by the transfers. Accordingly, owners and other persons who
have material rights under the contracts should assume that the sole protection
they may have against potential harm from frequent Subaccount transfers is the
protection, if any, provided by the policies and procedures we have adopted to
discourage frequent Subaccount transfers.
Under SEC rules, we are required to enter into a written agreement with each
Portfolio or its principal underwriter that will obligate us to provide
promptly, upon request by the Portfolio, certain information to the Portfolio
about the trading activity of individual contract owners. Under these
circumstances, we may be required to provide your tax identification number or
social security number to the Fund and/or its manager. We must then execute any
instructions from the Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or
transfers by a specific contract owner of Accumulation Units or Annuity Units
of the Subaccount that invests in that Portfolio, where such contract owner has
been identified by the Portfolio as having engaged in transactions (indirectly
through such Subaccount) that violate policies established for that Portfolio
for the purpose of eliminating or reducing any dilution of the value of the
outstanding shares of the Portfolio. We will inform any contract owners whose
future purchases and transfers of a Subaccount's units have been restricted or
prohibited by a Portfolio.
Owners and other persons with material rights under the contracts also should
be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Portfolios
generally are "omnibus" orders from intermediaries such as broker-dealers,
retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts.
These omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders
from individual retirement plan participants and/or individual owners of
variable insurance contracts. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the
Portfolios' ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and
procedures. We cannot guarantee that the Portfolios will not be harmed by
transfer activity relating to the retirement plans and/or other insurance
companies that may invest in the Portfolios. In addition, if a Portfolio
believes an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more Subaccount transfer
requests from owners engaged in frequent transfer activity, the Portfolio may
reject a portion of or the entire omnibus order. If a Portfolio rejects part of
an omnibus order it believes is attributable to transfers that exceed its
market timing policies and procedures, it will return the amount to us and we
will credit the amount to the contract owner as of the Valuation Day of our
receipt of that amount. You may realize a loss if the unit value on the
Valuation Day we credit the amount back to your account has increased since the
original date of your transfer.
We apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special
arrangement.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program
The Dollar Cost Averaging program permits you to systematically transfer on a
monthly or quarterly basis a set dollar amount from the Subaccount investing in
the Goldman
56
Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund and/or the
Guarantee Account (if available) to any combination of other available
Subaccounts (as long as the total number of Subaccounts used does not exceed
the maximum number allowed under the contract). The Dollar Cost Averaging
method of investment is designed to reduce the risk of making purchases only
when the price of units is high, but you should carefully consider your
financial ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time to
purchase Accumulation Units when their value is low as well as when it is high.
Dollar Cost Averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.
You may participate in the Dollar Cost Averaging program by:
(1) electing it on your application; or
(2) contacting an authorized sales representative; or
(3) contacting us at (800) 352-9910.
To use the program, you must transfer at least $100 from the Subaccount
investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money
Market Fund and/or interest rate guarantee period with each transfer.
The Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin 30 days after we receive all
required forms with your instructions and any necessary premium payment unless
we allow an earlier date. We will discontinue your participation in the Dollar
Cost Averaging program:
. on the business day we receive your request to discontinue the program in
writing or by telephone (assuming we have your telephone authorization
form on file); or
. when the assets of the Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable
Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund and/or interest rate
guarantee period from which transfers are being made are depleted.
If you Dollar Cost Average from the Guarantee Account, we reserve the right to
determine the amount of each automatic transfer. The Guarantee Account may not
be available in all states or in all markets. We also reserve the right to
transfer any remaining portion of an allocation used for Dollar Cost Averaging
to a new guarantee period upon termination of the Dollar Cost Averaging program
for that allocation. You may not transfer from one interest rate guarantee
period to another interest rate guarantee period.
We also reserve the right to credit a higher rate of interest on premium
payments allocated to the Guarantee Account that participate in the Dollar Cost
Averaging program. We refer to this higher rate of interest as Enhanced Dollar
Cost Averaging. The Dollar Cost Averaging program and/or Enhanced Dollar Cost
Averaging program may not be available in all states and in all markets or
through all broker-dealers who sell the contracts. If you terminate the Dollar
Cost Averaging program prior to the depletion of assets from the Guarantee
Account, we have the right to credit the remaining assets in the Guarantee
Account the current interest rate being credited to all other Guarantee Account
assets not participating in the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging program as of
that Valuation Day. In addition, for contracts issued on or after the later of
September 2, 2003, or the date on which state insurance authorities approve
applicable contract modifications, if you terminate your Dollar Cost Averaging
program prior to the depletion of assets in the Guarantee Account, we may limit
the amount that may be allocated to the Guarantee Account. If we exercise this
right, we guarantee the amount limited will be the same as the amount limited
for those contracts not participating in a Dollar Cost Averaging program as of
the date you terminate your Dollar Cost Averaging program.
There is no additional charge for Dollar Cost Averaging. A transfer under this
program is not a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer charge or
calculating the maximum number of transfers we may allow in a calendar year via
the Internet, telephone or facsimile.
We may, from time to time, offer various Dollar Cost Averaging programs. We
reserve the right to discontinue new Dollar Cost Averaging programs or to
modify such programs at any time and for any reason. We also reserve the right
to prohibit simultaneous participation in the Dollar Cost Averaging program and
Systematic Withdrawal program.
Dollar Cost Averaging is not available if you have elected Payment Optimizer
Plus or one of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders and
you are allocating assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment
Strategy. If you have elected Lifetime Income Plus 2008, Lifetime Income Plus
Solution or Payment Optimizer Plus, you can, however, participate in the
Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program, as described below.
Owners considering participating in a Dollar Cost Averaging program should call
(800) 352-9910 or an authorized sales representative to verify the availability
of Dollar Cost Averaging.
Defined Dollar Cost Averaging Program
The Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program permits you to systematically
transfer a fixed dollar amount on a monthly basis for twelve months from the
Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance
Trust -- Government Money Market Fund to an Asset Allocation Model or, if you
57
have elected Lifetime Income Plus 2008, Lifetime Income Plus Solution or
Payment Optimizer Plus, from the Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman
Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund to one of the
other available Investment Strategy options. The Dollar Cost Averaging method
of investment is designed to reduce the risk of making purchases only when the
price of units is high, but you should carefully consider your financial
ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time to purchase
Accumulation Units when their value is low as well as when it is high. Dollar
Cost Averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.
You may participate in the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program only if you
elect it when you apply for the contract. To use the program, you must transfer
at least $100 from the Subaccount (or Designated Subaccount) investing in the
Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund. If
elected at application, the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin 30
days after the Contract Date. You may accelerate the amount you transfer. You
may also terminate the program at any time.
We will discontinue your participation in the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging
program at the first instance of one of the following events:
(1) on the business day we receive your request to discontinue the program
in writing or by telephone (assuming we have your telephone
authorization form on file);
(2) when the assets in the Subaccount (or Designated Subaccount) investing
in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market
Fund are depleted; or
(3) at the end of the twelfth month following the Contract Date.
Upon termination of the program, any remaining assets in the Subaccount (or
Designated Subaccount) investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance
Trust -- Government Money Market Fund will be transferred to the specified
Asset Allocation Model or Investment Strategy option.
There is no additional charge to participate in the Defined Dollar Cost
Averaging program. A transfer under this program is not a transfer for purposes
of assessing a transfer charge or for calculating the maximum number of
transfers we may allow in a calendar year. Any withdrawals taken from your
contract while the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program is in effect will be
applied on a pro rata basis from all investments, including the Goldman Sachs
Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund. If you request a
withdrawal from a specific Portfolio, however, we will terminate your Defined
Dollar Cost Averaging program and treat the transfer as a transfer for purposes
of assessing a transfer charge or for calculating the maximum number of
transfers we may allow in a calendar year.
We reserve the right to discontinue the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program
or to modify the program at any time and for any reason.
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
Once your premium payment has been allocated among the Subaccounts, the
performance of each Subaccount may cause your allocation to shift. You may
instruct us to automatically rebalance on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual
basis your assets among the Subaccounts to return to the percentages specified
in your allocation instructions. Your percentage allocations must be in whole
percentages. The program does not include allocations to the Guarantee Account.
You may elect to participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing program at any time
by submitting the completed Portfolio Rebalancing form to our Home Office. You
may not participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing program if you have elected
Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for
Life Riders and you are allocating assets in accordance with the prescribed
Investment Strategy.
Subsequent changes to your percentage allocations may be made at any time by
written or telephone instructions to the Home Office. Once elected, Portfolio
Rebalancing remains in effect from the date we receive your written request
until you instruct us to discontinue Portfolio Rebalancing. There is no
additional charge for using Portfolio Rebalancing, and we do not consider a
Portfolio Rebalancing transfer a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer
charge or calculating the maximum number of transfers permitted in a calendar
year via the Internet, telephone or facsimile. We reserve the right to
discontinue or modify the Portfolio Rebalancing program at any time and for any
reason. We also reserve the right to exclude specific Subaccounts from
Portfolio Rebalancing. We will discontinue your participation in Portfolio
Rebalancing if:
. you elected Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the Guaranteed Minimum
Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders at the time of application; and
. you reset your benefit by reallocating assets in accordance with a
prescribed Investment Strategy following a period of allocating assets
outside of the prescribed Investment Strategy.
We will discontinue your participation as of the Valuation Day the reset
occurs. Portfolio Rebalancing does not guarantee a profit or protect against a
loss.
58
Guarantee Account Interest Sweep Program
You may instruct us to transfer interest earned on your assets in the Guarantee
Account (if available) to the Subaccounts to which you are allocating premium
payments, in accordance with your allocation instructions in effect on the date
of the transfer any time before the Maturity Date. You must specify the
frequency of the transfers (either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or
annually).
The minimum amount in the Guarantee Account required to elect this option is
$1,000, but may be reduced at our discretion. The transfers under this program
will take place on the last calendar day of each period.
You may participate in the interest sweep program at the same time you
participate in either the Dollar Cost Averaging program or the Portfolio
Rebalancing program. If any interest sweep transfer is scheduled for the same
day as a Portfolio Rebalancing transfer, we will process the interest sweep
transfer first.
We limit the amount you may transfer from the Guarantee Account to the
Subaccounts for any particular allocation. See the "Transfers" provision of
this prospectus. We will not process an interest sweep transfer if that
transfer would exceed the amount permitted to be transferred.
You may cancel your participation in the interest sweep program at any time by
writing or calling our Home Office at the address or telephone number listed on
page 1 of this prospectus. We will automatically cancel your participation in
the program if your assets in the Guarantee Account are less than $1,000 or
such lower amount as we may determine. There is no additional charge for the
interest sweep program. We do not consider interest sweep transfers a transfer
for purposes of assessing a transfer charge or for calculating the maximum
number of transfers permitted in a calendar year. The interest sweep program
does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.
SURRENDERS AND PARTIAL SURRENDERS
Surrenders and Partial Surrenders
We will allow you to surrender your contract or to partially surrender a
portion of your Contract Value at any time before the Maturity Date upon your
written request, subject to the conditions discussed below.
We will not permit a partial surrender that is less than $100 or a partial
surrender which would reduce your Contract Value to less than $1,000. If your
partial surrender request would reduce your Contract Value to less than $1,000,
we will surrender your contract in full. Different limits and other
restrictions may apply to Qualified Contracts.
The amount payable on surrender of the contract is the Surrender Value at the
end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the request. The Surrender
Value equals:
(1) the Contract Value (after deduction of any charge for the optional
rider(s) and the annual contract charge, if applicable) on the Valuation
Day we receive a request for surrender; less
(2) any applicable surrender charge; less
(3) any applicable premium tax.
We may pay the Surrender Value in a lump sum or under one of the Optional
Payment Plans specified in the contract, based on your instructions.
If you are taking a partial surrender, you may indicate in writing,
electronically, or by calling our Home Office, from which Subaccounts or
interest rate guarantee periods we are to take your partial surrender. If you
do not so specify, we will deduct the amount of the partial surrender first
from the Subaccounts (excluding the GIS Subaccount(s) if Guaranteed Income
Advantage is elected at the time of application) on a pro rata basis in
proportion to your assets allocated to the Separate Account. If you elect the
Payment Optimizer Plus or one of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for
Life Riders and take a partial surrender, we will rebalance Contract Value to
the Subaccounts in accordance with the allocation of Contract Value in effect
prior to the partial surrender, unless you instruct us otherwise. If, after a
partial surrender and such instructions, your Contract Value is not allocated
in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy, the benefit you receive
under the rider may be reduced. Contract owners that own Lifetime Income Plus
2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution must always allocate assets in accordance
with the Investment Strategy. We will deduct any remaining amount from the
Guarantee Account. We will take deductions from the Guarantee Account from the
amounts (including any interest credited to such amounts) which have been in
the Guarantee Account for the longest period of time. If Guaranteed Income
Advantage is elected at the time of application, partial surrenders will then
be deducted from the GIS Subaccount(s) from the segment that has been in effect
for the shortest period of time.
A Portfolio may impose a redemption charge. The charge is retained by or paid
to the Portfolio. The charge is not retained by or paid to us. The redemption
charge may affect the number and/or value of Accumulation Units withdrawn from
the Subaccount that invests in that Portfolio and may affect Contract Value.
When taking a partial surrender, any applicable
59
surrender charges and/or applicable premium tax will be taken from the amount
surrendered, unless otherwise requested.
We will delay making a payment if:
(1) the disposal or valuation of the Separate Account's assets is not
reasonably practicable because the New York Stock Exchange is closed;
(2) on nationally recognized holidays, trading is restricted by the New York
Stock Exchange;
(3) an emergency exists making the disposal or valuation of securities held
in the Separate Account impracticable; or
(4) the SEC by order permits postponement of payment to protect our owners.
Rules and regulations of the SEC will govern as to when the conditions
described in (3) and (4) above exist. If we are closed on days when the New
York Stock Exchange is open, Contract Value may be affected since owners will
not have access to their account.
For contracts issued on or after the later of September 2, 2003, or the date on
which state insurance authorities approve applicable contract modifications,
partial surrenders from the Subaccounts may further reduce or restrict the
amount that may be allocated to the Guarantee Account (see the "Guarantee
Account" provision of this prospectus).
Please remember that partial surrenders (including partial withdrawals taken
pursuant to the terms of Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007,
Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution) will reduce your
death benefit by the proportion that the partial surrender (including any
applicable surrender charge and applicable premium tax) reduces your Contract
Value. See the "Death of Owner and/or Annuitant" provision of this prospectus.
Partial surrenders and surrenders may also be subject to income tax and, if
taken prior to age 59 1/2, an additional 10% penalty tax. See the "Tax Matters"
provision of this prospectus.
Restrictions on Distributions from Certain Contracts
Under Code Section 403(b) tax sheltered annuities, distributions of (1) salary
reduction contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988;
(2) earnings on those contributions; and (3) earnings on amounts held as of the
last year beginning before January 1, 1989, are not allowed prior to age
59 1/2, severance from employment, death or disability. Salary reduction
contributions may also be distributed upon hardship, but would generally be
subject to penalties. For contracts issued after 2008, amounts attributable to
nonelective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified
in the employer's Section 403(b) plan.
If your contract was issued pursuant to a 403(b) plan, we generally are
required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that
surrenders or transfers you request comply with applicable tax requirements and
to decline requests that are not in compliance. We will defer such payments you
request until all information required under the tax law has been received. By
requesting a surrender or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential
information about you, the contract, and transactions under the contract and
any other 403(b) contracts or accounts you have under the 403(b) plan among us,
your employer or plan sponsor, any plan administrator or recordkeeper, and
other product providers.
Section 830.105 of the Texas Government Code permits participants in the Texas
Optional Retirement Program to surrender their interest in a variable annuity
contract issued under the Texas Optional Retirement Program only upon:
(1) termination of employment in the Texas public institutions of higher
education;
(2) retirement;
(3) death; or
(4) the participant's attainment of age 70 1/2.
If your contract is issued to a Texas Optional Retirement Program, you must
furnish us proof that one of these four events has occurred before we
distribute any amounts from your contract.
Systematic Withdrawal Program
The Systematic Withdrawal program allows you to take Systematic Withdrawals of
a specified amount (in equal installments of at least $100) on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Your payments can begin at any time
after 30 days from the date your contract is issued (unless we allow an earlier
date). To participate in the program, your Contract Value initially must be at
least $10,000 and you must submit a completed Systematic Withdrawal form to our
Home Office. You can obtain the form from an authorized sales representative or
our Home Office.
Your Systematic Withdrawals in a contract year may not exceed the amount which
is not subject to a surrender charge. See the "Surrender Charge" provision of
this prospectus. We will deduct the Systematic Withdrawal amounts first from
any gain in the contract and then from premiums paid. You may provide specific
instructions as to which Subaccounts (excluding the GIS Subaccount(s) if
Guaranteed Income Advantage is elected
60
at the time of application) and/or interest rate guarantee periods from which
we are to take Systematic Withdrawals. If you have not provided specific
instructions, or if your specific instructions cannot be carried out, we will
process the withdrawals by cancelling Accumulation Units on a pro-rata basis
from all of the Subaccounts (excluding the GIS Subaccount(s) of Guaranteed
Income Advantage is elected at the time of application) in which you have an
interest. To the extent that your assets in the Separate Account are not
sufficient to accomplish this withdrawal, we will take the remaining amount of
the withdrawal from any assets you have in the Guarantee Account. We will take
deductions from the Guarantee Account from the amounts (including any interest
credited to such amounts) that have been in the Guarantee Account for the
longest period of time. If Guaranteed Income Advantage is elected at the time
of application, any remaining amounts will be taken from the GIS Subaccount(s)
from the segment that has been in effect for the shortest period of time.
After your Systematic Withdrawals begin, you may change the frequency and/or
amount of your payments, subject to the following:
. you may request only one such change in a calendar quarter; and
. if you did not elect the maximum amount you could withdraw under this
program at the time you elected the current series of Systematic
Withdrawals, then you may increase the remaining payments up to the
maximum amount.
A Systematic Withdrawal program will terminate automatically when a Systematic
Withdrawal would cause the remaining Contract Value to be less than $1,000. If
a Systematic Withdrawal would cause the Contract Value to be less than $1,000,
then we will not process that Systematic Withdrawal transaction. If any of your
Systematic Withdrawals would be or become less than $100, we reserve the right
to reduce the frequency of payments to an interval that would result in each
payment being at least $100. You may discontinue Systematic Withdrawals at any
time by notifying us in writing at our Home Office or by telephone. You may
request that we pay any remaining payments in a lump sum. See the "Requesting
Payments" provision of this prospectus.
Each Systematic Withdrawal is subject to Federal income taxes on any portion
considered gain for tax purposes. In addition, you may be assessed a 10% IRS
penalty tax on Systematic Withdrawals if you are under age 59 1/2 at the time
of the withdrawal.
Both partial surrenders at your specific request and partial surrenders under a
Systematic Withdrawal program will count toward the limit of the free amount
that you may surrender in any contract year under the free withdrawal
privilege. See the "Surrender Charge" provision of this prospectus. Partial
surrenders under a Systematic Withdrawal program may also reduce your death
benefit. See the "Death of Owner and/or Annuitant" provision of this
prospectus. Your Systematic Withdrawal amount could be affected if you take an
additional partial surrender.
For contracts issued on or after September 2, 2003, or the date on which state
insurance authorities approve applicable contract modifications, taking
Systematic Withdrawals from the Subaccounts may further reduce or restrict the
amount that may be allocated to the Guarantee Account. See the "Guarantee
Account" provision of this prospectus.
If you elect Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007 or Lifetime Income
Plus 2008, surrenders and partial surrenders under a Systematic Withdrawal
program may reduce the amount of the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit you
are eligible to receive under the terms of the rider. See the "Guaranteed
Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders" provision below.
There is no charge for participation in the Systematic Withdrawal program,
however, we reserve the right to prohibit participation in Systematic
Withdrawal and Dollar Cost Averaging programs at the same time. We also reserve
the right to discontinue and/or modify the Systematic Withdrawal program upon
30 days written notice to owners.
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders
We designed the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders to
protect you from outliving your Contract Value by providing for a guaranteed
minimum withdrawal benefit that is not affected by the market performance of
the Subaccounts in which your assets are allocated. Prior to the Maturity Date,
if you meet the conditions of the respective rider, as discussed more fully
below, you will be eligible to make these guaranteed withdrawals for the life
of your contract. These Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders
are discussed in separate sections below.
Because this contract is no longer offered and sold, none of the Guaranteed
Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Rider Options are available to purchase under the
contract.
Lifetime Income Plus Solution
Lifetime Income Plus Solution provides guaranteed withdrawals for the life of
the Annuitant(s), with upside
61
potential, provided you meet certain conditions. First, you must allocate all
premium payments and Contract Value to the prescribed Investment Strategy. You
must also limit total Gross Withdrawals in each Benefit Year to an amount no
greater than the Withdrawal Limit. Then, you will be eligible to receive total
Gross Withdrawals in each Benefit Year equal to the Withdrawal Limit until the
last death of an Annuitant.
You may purchase Lifetime Income Plus Solution with or without the Principal
Protection Death Benefit. The Principal Protection Death Benefit is a feature
available only with Lifetime Income Plus Solution. It cannot be elected
separately from Lifetime Income Plus Solution. We assess a charge for the
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit provided by the rider. If you purchase
Lifetime Income Plus Solution with the Principal Protection Death Benefit, a
charge will be assessed for the Principal Protection Death Benefit that is in
addition to the charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under the
rider.
The guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit provided under the rider may be
reduced or lost based on the withdrawals you take from the contract. For
example, your guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit will be reduced if you take
excess withdrawals in a Benefit Year. See the "Impact of Withdrawals" provision
below. You will also lose the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit if you
annuitize or surrender the contract or if you elect to terminate the rider on
any contract anniversary on or after the fifth contract anniversary. In
addition, you will no longer receive lifetime payments of your guaranteed
minimum withdrawal benefit if (i)(a) after a withdrawal, your Contract Value is
less than the amount required to keep your contract in effect or (b) your
Contract Value is reduced to $100 and (ii) your Withdrawal Limit is less than
$100. Instead, you could receive, at least, a lump sum equal to the present
value of future lifetime payments in the amount of the Withdrawal Limit.
The Principal Protection Death Benefit provided under the rider, if elected,
will be reduced and may be lost based on withdrawals you take from the
contract. You will also lose the Principal Protection Death Benefit if you
annuitize or surrender the contract or if you elect to terminate the rider.
Because this contract is no longer offered and sold, Lifetime Income Plus
Solution and the Principal Protection Death Benefit are no longer available to
purchase under the contract.
References to Lifetime Income Plus Solution include a rider issued with or
without the Principal Protection Death Benefit, as applicable, unless stated
otherwise.
Effective May 1, 2014, you may request to terminate this rider (without
terminating the contract) on any business day.
Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus Solution. In order to receive the
full benefit provided by Lifetime Income Plus Solution, you must invest all
premium payments and allocations in accordance with a prescribed Investment
Strategy.
Investment Strategies may change from time to time. You may allocate your
assets in accordance with your Investment Strategy prescribed at the time the
contract was issued, or in accordance with the Investment Strategy in effect at
the time you reset your benefit. Therefore, you may have assets allocated to an
Investment Strategy that is different than the Investment Strategy described in
this prospectus. Your ability to choose different Investment Strategies is
limited, as described below.
The Investment Strategy includes Designated Subaccounts and five of the Asset
Allocation Models (Asset Allocation Models A, B, C and D and the Build Your Own
Asset Allocation Model). Under this Investment Strategy, contract owners may
allocate assets to either one of the four available Asset Allocation Models or
to one or more Designated Subaccounts or to the Build Your Own Asset Allocation
Model. Contract owners, however, may elect to participate in the Defined Dollar
Cost Averaging program, which permits the owner to systematically transfer a
fixed dollar amount on a monthly basis for twelve months from the Designated
Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust --
Government Money Market Fund to one of the available Investment Strategy
options. The Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable
Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund is only available as part of
the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program. For more information about the
Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program, the Asset Allocation Models and the
Subaccounts comprising each of the Asset Allocation Models and the Designated
Subaccounts, please see the "Defined Dollar Cost Averaging Program,"
"Subaccounts" and "Asset Allocation Program" provisions of this prospectus.
On a monthly basis, we will rebalance your Contract Value to the Subaccounts in
accordance with the percentages that you have chosen to invest in the
Designated Subaccounts or the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model or in
accordance with the allocations that comprise the applicable Asset Allocation
Model. In addition, we will also rebalance your Contract Value on any Valuation
Day after any transaction involving a withdrawal, receipt of a premium payment
or a transfer of Contract Value, unless you instruct us otherwise. If you are
participating in the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program, rebalancing will
not affect the assets allocated to the Designated Subaccount investing in the
Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance
62
Trust -- Government Money Market Fund. Your allocation instructions must always
comply with the Investment Strategy.
Shares of a Portfolio may become unavailable under the contract for new premium
payments, transfers and asset rebalancing. As a result, shares of a Portfolio
may also become unavailable under your Investment Strategy. Investment
Strategies may be modified to respond to such events by removing unavailable
Portfolios and adding new Portfolios as appropriate. Because such changes may
affect your allocation instructions, you will need to provide updated
allocation instructions to comply with the modified Investment Strategy. If you
do not provide updated allocation instructions, any subsequent premium payments
or transfers requesting payment to an unavailable Portfolio will be considered
not in good order. Assets will remain invested as allocated at the time the
Portfolio became unavailable, except in a situation where the affected
Portfolio is removed. In that case, the assets that were invested in the
removed Portfolio will be invested in a new Portfolio consistent with SEC
precedent (appropriate no-action relief, substitution order, etc.), unless you
are invested in the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model. If you are invested
in the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model, all of the assets you have
invested in the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model will be moved from the
Model to Asset Allocation Model C. Your assets will remain in Asset Allocation
Model C, and any subsequent premium payments or transfer requests will be
applied accordingly. You will need to provide us with updated allocation
instructions if you want to invest in the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model
or another available Investment Strategy option.
Periodic rebalancing to unavailable Portfolios will cease until we receive
updated allocation instructions that comply with the modified Investment
Strategy.
The current Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus Solution is as follows:
(1) owners may allocate assets to the following Designated Subaccounts:
AB Variable Products Series Fund, Inc. -- AB Balanced Wealth Strategy
Portfolio -- Class B;
AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance
Funds) -- Invesco V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund -- Series II shares
(formerly, Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund --Series
II Shares);

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund -- VIP Balanced
Portfolio -- Service Class 2;
Janus Aspen Series -- Janus Henderson Balanced Portfolio -- Service
Shares;
MFS(R) Variable Insurance Trust -- MFS(R) Total Return Series -- Service
Class Shares; and/or
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. -- Total Return
V.I.S. Fund -- Class 3 Shares;
OR
(2) owners may allocate assets to Asset Allocation Model A, B, C or D;
OR
(3) owners may allocate assets to the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model.
Contract owners may elect to participate in the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging
program when they apply for the contract. Defined Dollar Cost Averaging permits
the owner to systematically transfer a fixed dollar amount on a monthly basis
for twelve months from the Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs
Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund to one of the
available Investment Strategy options. The Designated Subaccount investing in
the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund is
only available as part of the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program.
Withdrawal Limit. The Withdrawal Limit is calculated on each Valuation Day.
The Withdrawal Limit is the benefit base multiplied by the Withdrawal Factor.
The Withdrawal Factor percentages will be provided in your contract.
The Withdrawal Factor is based on the age of the younger Annuitant. The
Withdrawal Factor will be fixed on the earlier of the Valuation Day of the
first withdrawal and the Valuation Day when the Contract Value is reduced to
$100.
Benefit Base. The benefit base is an amount used to establish the Withdrawal
Limit. The benefit base on the Contract Date is equal to the initial premium
payment. On each Valuation Day, the benefit base is the greatest of the
Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, the Roll-Up Value and the Maximum Anniversary
Value. The benefit base may change as a result of a premium payment,
withdrawal, or reset as described below.
Premium Payments. Any premium payment applied to your contract will adjust
your Purchase Payment Benefit Amount and Principal Protection Death Benefit (if
applicable), and may adjust your Roll-Up Value as described in the "Roll-Up
Value"
63
provision below. Please note that Bonus Credits are not considered "premium
payments" for purposes of the contract and this rider. Therefore any applicable
Bonus Credits will not be included as a premium payment when calculating the
Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Roll-Up Value, Maximum Anniversary Value or
Principal Protection Death Benefit. You will have to reset your Maximum
Anniversary Value to capture the Bonus Credit or any related earnings, since
the Bonus Credit and any related earnings will be reflected in the Contract
Value. You must allocate all premium payments and Contract Value to the
Investment Strategy at all times.
We reserve the right to not adjust the Purchase Payment Benefit Amount,
Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable), and/or the Roll-Up Value
for any subsequent premium payments. Please see the "Important Note" provision
below.
Purchase Payment Benefit Amount. The Purchase Payment Benefit Amount will
equal your premium payments unless adjusted as described in this provision.
If no withdrawals are taken prior to the later of the tenth anniversary of the
Contract Date and the date the older Annuitant turns age 65, your Purchase
Payment Benefit Amount will equal the sum of (a) plus (b), where:
(a) is 200% of premium payments made in the first contract year; and
(b) is premium payments received after the first contract year.
On any Valuation Day you make a Gross Withdrawal, if that Gross Withdrawal plus
all prior Gross Withdrawals within that Benefit Year is in excess of the
Withdrawal Limit, your Purchase Payments Benefit Amount will be reduced on a
pro-rata basis by the excess amount as described in the "Impact of Withdrawals"
provision below.
Roll-Up Value. Your Roll-Up Value on the Contract Date is equal to the amount
of your initial premium payment. We will increase your Roll-Up Value on each
day. The new Roll-Up Value is equal to the sum of (a) and (b), multiplied by
(c), where:
(a) is the Roll-Up Value on the prior day;
(b) is any premium payment(s) made on the prior Valuation Day; and
(c) is the daily roll-up factor, as shown in your contract.
On each contract anniversary, if the Maximum Anniversary Value is greater than
the current Roll-Up Value, the Roll-Up Value will be increased to the Maximum
Anniversary Value. If this day is not a Valuation Day, this adjustment will
occur on the next Valuation Day. The Roll-Up Value will continue to increase
until the date of the first withdrawal or the later of the tenth anniversary of
the Contract Date and the date the older Annuitant turns age 65. The Roll-Up
Value will not increase after this date.
On any Valuation Day you make a Gross Withdrawal, if that Gross Withdrawal plus
all prior Gross Withdrawals within that Benefit Year is in excess of the
Withdrawal Limit, your Roll-Up Value will be reduced on a pro-rata basis by the
excess amount as described in the "Impact of Withdrawals" provision below. The
Roll-Up Value will not increase after this date.
Maximum Anniversary Value and Reset. The Maximum Anniversary Value on the
Contract Date is equal to the initial premium payment. On each contract
anniversary, if the Contract Value is greater than the current Maximum
Anniversary Value, the Maximum Anniversary Value will be increased to the
Contract Value. If this day is not a Valuation Day, this reset will occur on
the next Valuation Day.
On any Valuation Day you make a Gross Withdrawal, if that Gross Withdrawal plus
all prior Gross Withdrawals within that Benefit Year is in excess of the
Withdrawal Limit, your Maximum Anniversary Value will be reduced on a pro-rata
basis by the excess amount as described in the "Impact of Withdrawals"
provision below.
On the Valuation Day we reset your Maximum Anniversary Value, we will reset the
Investment Strategy to the current Investment Strategy and reset the charges
for this rider. Effective on and after December 3, 2012, the charge for
Lifetime Income Plus Solution increased, on an annual basis, to 1.25% upon
reset of the Maximum Anniversary Value. The rider charge increase applies to
both single and joint annuitant contracts regardless of the date the contract
was issued. If you are potentially impacted, you will receive written notice in
advance of your contract anniversary informing you of your options as well as a
discussion of certain circumstances in which a reset would not be in your best
interest. If your rider is scheduled to automatically reset, you will have the
opportunity to opt-out of the automatic reset and resulting rider charge
increase. If you have to request a manual reset, you will have the opportunity
to reset and, if you reset, incur the higher rider charge. We reserve the right
to discontinue sending written notice of the potential impact of a reset after
we send you the first notice.
As noted, if there is an automatic reset, your Maximum Anniversary Value will
be increased to your Contract Value. However, the Maximum Anniversary Value is
just one element used to determine your Benefit Base which is in turn used to
calculate your Withdrawal Limit. The Benefit Base is the
64
greatest of the Maximum Anniversary Value, Purchase Payment Benefit Amount and
the Roll-Up Value. If your Maximum Anniversary Value resets but your Roll-Up
Value or Purchase Payment Benefit Amount is higher than your Maximum
Anniversary Value on the date of reset, the Roll-Up Value or Purchase Payment
Benefit Amount will be used to determine your Benefit Base, but you will be
assessed a rider charge of 1.25% because of the reset of the Maximum
Anniversary Value. In this circumstance, if your rider fee was less than 1.25%
before the reset, you will pay a higher rider fee for a benefit that you would
have received even without the reset.
For Lifetime Income Plus Solution without the Principal Protection Death
Benefit, the new charges, which may be higher than your previous charges, will
never exceed 2.00% of the benefit base. For Lifetime Income Plus Solution with
the Principal Protection Death Benefit, the new charges, which may be higher
than your previous charges, will never exceed 2.00% of the benefit base plus
0.50% of the value of the Principal Protection Death Benefit. Resets will occur
automatically unless such automatic resets are or have been terminated.
Any change to the charges or to the required Investment Strategy for this rider
will be communicated to you in writing prior to the contract anniversary date.
Upon reset, these changes will apply. The reset provision is not available on
or after the latest permitted Maturity Date.
Automatic resets will continue until and unless:
(a) the owner (or owners) submits a written request to our Home Office to
terminate automatic resets (such a request must be received at least 15
days prior to the contract anniversary date);
(b) the Investment Strategy changes, allocations are affected, and we do not
receive confirmation of new allocations from you at our Home Office;
(c) income payments begin via annuitization; or
(d) ownership of the contract changes.
If automatic resets have terminated, you may later reinstate automatic resets
for any future contract anniversary by submitting a written request to do so;
provided you are following the Investment Strategy and income payments have not
begun.
Please note that an automatic reset will occur on a contract anniversary if
Contract Value is even nominally higher than the Maximum Anniversary Value
(e.g., as little as $1.00 or even $0.01 higher) and, therefore, an automatic
reset may not be in your best interest because: (i) the charges for this rider
may be higher than your previous charges and (ii) the Investment Strategy will
be reset to the current Investment Strategy (the Investment Strategy offered on
the reset date). Please carefully consider the impact of automatic resets when
you elect Lifetime Income Plus Solution and while the rider is in effect. As
indicated above, you may terminate the automatic reset feature of the rider at
any time by submitting a written request to us at our Home Office at least 15
days prior to the contract anniversary date.
Important Note. We reserve the right to not adjust the Purchase Payment
Benefit Amount, Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable), and/or
Roll-Up Value for any subsequent premium payments received. As a result, it is
possible that you would not be able to make subsequent premium payments after
the initial premium payment to take advantage of the benefits provided by
Lifetime Income Plus Solution that would be associated with such additional
premium payments. Before making premium payments that do not increase the
Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Principal Protection Death Benefit (if
applicable) or Roll-Up Value, you should consider that: (i) the guaranteed
amounts provided by the Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Principal Protection
Death Benefit (if applicable) and Roll-Up Value will not include such premium
payments or Bonus Credits; and (ii) this rider may not make sense for you if
you intend to make subsequent premium payments that will not increase the
Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Principal Protection Death Benefit (if
applicable) and Roll-Up Value.
Impact of Withdrawals. If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals
within a Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal Limit, your Purchase
Payment Benefit Amount, Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable),
Roll-Up Value, and Maximum Anniversary Value will be recalculated to reflect a
pro-rata reduction for each dollar that is in excess of your Withdrawal Limit.
Your new Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Principal Protection Death Benefit
(if applicable), Roll-Up Value and Maximum Anniversary Value after such a
withdrawal will be calculated by multiplying each of (a) by (b), divided by
(c), where:
(a) is the Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Principal Protection Death
Benefit (if applicable), Roll-Up Value and Maximum Anniversary Value
before the Gross Withdrawal;
(b) is the Contract Value after the Gross Withdrawal; and
(c) is the Contract Value before the Gross Withdrawal reduced by any
remaining Withdrawal Limit.
For purposes of (c) above, "any remaining Withdrawal Limit" is the Gross
Withdrawal that could have been taken without exceeding the Withdrawal Limit.
65
When requesting an excess withdrawal, we will attempt to contact you or your
representative to confirm that you understand the implications of the excess
withdrawal and would like to proceed with the request.
If the total Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year are less than or equal to the
Withdrawal Limit, we will waive any surrender charge on the Gross Withdrawal.
The Withdrawal Limit will be increased for any Benefit Year to the extent
necessary to meet any minimum distribution requirements based on life
expectancy under federal tax law. This increase applies only to the required
minimum distribution based on the Contract Value for the calendar year ending
within the Benefit Year.
You should carefully manage withdrawals because excess withdrawals will have
adverse consequences on the benefits provided under Lifetime Income Plus
Solution, particularly in down markets. Over the period of time during which
you take withdrawals, there is the risk that you may need funds in excess of
the Withdrawal Limit and, if you do not have other sources of income available,
you may need to take (excess) withdrawals that will reduce your Purchase
Payment Benefit Amount, Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable),
Maximum Anniversary Value and Roll-Up Value (and, consequently, your Withdrawal
Limit).
You also should carefully consider when to begin taking withdrawals if you
elected Lifetime Income Plus Solution. The longer you wait before beginning to
take withdrawals, the higher the Withdrawal Factor will be, which is one of the
components used to determine the amount of your Withdrawal Limit. If you delay
taking withdrawals too long, however, you may limit the number of years
available for you to take withdrawals in the future (due to life expectancy)
and you may be paying for a benefit you are not using.
Your Contract Value after taking a withdrawal may be less than the amount
required to keep your contract in effect. In this event, or if your Contract
Value is reduced to $100, the following will occur:
. If the Withdrawal Limit is less than $100, we will pay you the greatest of
the following:
(a) the Contract Value;
(b) a lump sum equal to the present value of future lifetime payments in
the amount of the Withdrawal Limit calculated using the 2000 Annuity
Mortality Table and an interest rate of 3%; and
(c) the Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable).
. If the Withdrawal Limit is greater than or equal to $100, we will begin
income payments. We will make payments of a fixed amount for the life of
the Annuitant or, if there are Joint Annuitants, the last surviving
Annuitant. The fixed amount payable annually will equal the most recently
calculated Withdrawal Limit. We will make payments monthly or on another
periodic basis agreed by us. If the monthly amount is less than $100, we
will reduce the frequency so that the payment will be at least $100. The
Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable) will continue under
this provision. The Principal Protection Death Benefit will be reduced by
each payment. The Principal Protection Death Benefit, if any, will be
payable on the death of the last surviving Annuitant.
Principal Protection Death Benefit. You may purchase Lifetime Income Plus
Solution with the Principal Protection Death Benefit. The Principal Protection
Death Benefit is a feature available only with Lifetime Income Plus Solution.
It cannot be elected separately from Lifetime Income Plus Solution.
The Principal Protection Death Benefit is used to determine the death benefit,
if any, payable under the contract and rider as described in the "Death
Provisions" section below. The Principal Protection Death Benefit on the
Contract Date is equal to the initial premium payment. Premium payments in a
Benefit Year increase the Principal Protection Death Benefit. The Principal
Protection Death Benefit, if any, will be payable on the death of the last
surviving Annuitant.
Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year decrease the Principal Protection Death
Benefit. If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals within a
Benefit Year is less than or equal to the Withdrawal Limit, the Principal
Protection Death Benefit will be reduced by the Gross Withdrawal. If a Gross
Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals within a Benefit Year is in excess
of the Withdrawal Limit, your Principal Protection Death Benefit will be
reduced on a pro-rata basis for each dollar that is in excess of your
Withdrawal Limit, as described in the "Impact of Withdrawals" provision above.
At the death of the last surviving Annuitant, a death benefit may be payable
under this contract and rider. The amount of any death benefit payable will be
the greatest of (a), (b) and (c), where:
(a) is the death benefit as calculated under the base contract;
66
(b) is the Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable); and
(c) is any amount payable by any other optional death benefit rider (if
applicable).
Death Provisions. At the death of any Annuitant, a death benefit may be
payable under the contract. The death benefit payable, if any, will be paid
according to the distribution rules under the contract.
If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is not an Annuitant,
whose age is 45 through 85, and who elects to continue the contract as the new
owner, this rider will continue. The Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Principal
Protection Death Benefit (if applicable), Roll-Up Value and Maximum Anniversary
Value for the new owner will be the death benefit determined as of the first
Valuation Day we receive at our Home Office due proof of death and all required
forms. The Withdrawal Factor for the new owner will be based on the age of that
owner on the date of the first Gross Withdrawal for that owner.
If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is an Annuitant and who
elects to continue the contract as the owner, this rider will continue. The
Purchase Payment Benefit Amount, Principal Protection Death Benefit (if
applicable), Roll-Up Value and Maximum Anniversary Value will be the same as it
was under the contract for the deceased owner. If no withdrawals were taken
prior to the first Valuation Day we receive due proof of death and all required
forms at our Home Office, the Withdrawal Factor for the surviving spouse will
be established based on the age of the surviving spouse on the date of the
first Gross Withdrawal for the surviving spouse. Otherwise, the Withdrawal
Factor will continue as it was under the contract for the deceased owner.
If the surviving spouse cannot continue the rider, the rider and the rider
charges will terminate. The charges for this rider will be calculated, pro
rata, and deducted.
Proceeds that were transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance
Trust -- Government Money Market Fund upon the death of the owner will be
reallocated to the Investment Strategy and the asset percentages then in effect
at the time of the death of the owner. Such reallocations will not be counted
as a transfer for the purpose of the number of transfers allowed under the
contract in a calendar year.
Considerations. While the rider is designed to provide life-time withdrawal
benefits, these benefits are only guaranteed to the extent you comply with the
limits, conditions and restrictions set forth in the contract.
Rider Charge. We assess a charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
provided by the rider. The charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
is calculated quarterly as a percentage of the benefit base, as defined and
determined under the rider, and deducted quarterly from the Contract Value.
Please note that, if your benefit base increases, the amount deducted from your
Contract Value will increase.
If you purchase Lifetime Income Plus Solution with the Principal Protection
Death Benefit, a charge will be assessed for the Principal Protection Death
Benefit that is in addition to the charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal
benefit under the rider. The charge for the Principal Protection Death Benefit
is calculated quarterly as a percentage of the value of the Principal
Protection Death Benefit, as defined and determined under the rider, and
deducted quarterly from the Contract Value. Please note that, if the value of
the Principal Protection Death Benefit increases through additional premium
payments, the amount deducted from your Contract Value will increase. The
charge for the Principal Protection Death Benefit is higher if any annuitant is
age 71 or older at the time of application.
If you reset your benefits under the rider, we will reset the charges for the
rider, which may be higher than your previous charges.
For contracts issued with Lifetime Income Plus Solution on or after January 5,
2009 and that have reset their Maximum Anniversary Value on or after December
3, 2012, we currently assess the following charges for the rider, calculated

The charges for Lifetime Income Plus Solution without the Principal Protection
Death Benefit will never exceed 2.00% of benefit base. The charges for Lifetime
Income Plus Solution with the Principal Protection Death Benefit will never
exceed 2.00% of benefit base plus 0.50% of the value of the Principal
Protection Death Benefit.
On the day the rider and/or the contract terminates, the charges for this rider
will be calculated, pro rata, and deducted.
Please note that you will begin paying the rider charge (including the
applicable charge associated with the Principal Protection Death Benefit if you
have elected that option) as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do
not begin taking withdrawals under the rider for many years, or ever. We will
not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to
take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider; nor
will we refund charges if the Principal Protection Death Benefit feature under
a contract does not pay out.
When the Rider is Effective
If available, Lifetime Income Plus Solution and the Principal Protection Death
Benefit must be elected at application. The rider will remain in effect while
the contract is in force and before the Maturity Date. Effective May 1, 2014,
you may request to terminate this rider (without terminating the contract) on
any business day. The rider will terminate on the first day of the next quarter
as measured from the contract anniversary (i.e., not a calendar quarter). Rider
charges will continue from the date of the request to terminate until the date
of termination. On the day the rider and/or the contract terminates, the
charges for this rider will be calculated, pro rata, and deducted. We are
waiving the provision in the rider that limits the ability to terminate the
rider to any contract anniversary on or after the fifth contract anniversary.
Otherwise this rider and the corresponding charges will terminate on the
Maturity Date. Please note that, upon termination of this rider, you will lose
all of the benefits for which you are eligible under the rider, including any
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits provided by the rider.
At any time before the Maturity Date, you can elect to annuitize under current
annuity rates in lieu of continuing Lifetime Income Plus Solution. This may
provide a higher income amount and/or more favorable tax treatment than
payments made under this rider.
Change of Ownership
We must approve any assignment or sale of this contract unless the assignment
is a court ordered assignment.
68
General Provisions
For purposes of this rider:
. A non-natural entity owner must name an Annuitant and may name the
Annuitant's spouse as a Joint Annuitant.
. An individual owner must also be an Annuitant and may name his or her
spouse as a Joint Annuitant at issue.
. A joint owner must be the owner's spouse.
. If you marry after issue, you may add your spouse as a joint owner and
Joint Annuitant or as a Joint Annuitant only, subject to our approval.
. Under federal tax law, all contract provisions relating to spousal
continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of
"spouse" under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex
marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized
under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic
partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages
under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal
law. Consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Civil union partners are not permitted to continue the contract without
taking required distributions upon the death of an owner. Therefore, even
if named a joint owner/Joint Annuitant, a civil union partner will have to
take required distributions upon the death of the other joint owner/Joint
Annuitant. See the "Distribution Rules" provision of this prospectus. If
this situation applies to you, you should consult a tax adviser.

Examples
The following examples show how Lifetime Income Plus Solution works based on
hypothetical values. The examples are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended to depict investment performance of the contract and, therefore,
should not be relied upon in making a decision to invest in the rider or
contract. The examples assume current rider charges for all periods shown. If
an owner resets the benefits under the rider, we reset the charges for the
rider, which may be higher than the previous charges. Higher rider charges
would produce lower values in the examples.
This example assumes:
(1) the owner, who is also the Annuitant, purchases the contract with
$100,000 and elects Lifetime Income Plus Solution without the Principal
Protection Death Benefit;
(2) the owner makes no additional premium payments;
(3) the owner is age 55 at issue, waits until after reaching age 65 before
taking a withdrawal, and has a Withdrawal Factor of 5.5%;
(4) the Roll-Up Value increases until age 65 and the Purchase Payment
Benefit Amount after the owner turns age 65 equals $200,000 (200% of
premium payments made in the first contract year);
(5) the contract earns a net return of -2% before rider charges are
deducted; and
(6) the owner dies upon reaching age 90.

This example assumes:
(1) the owner, who is also the Annuitant, purchases the contract with
$100,000 and elects Lifetime Income Plus Solution with the Principal
Protection Death Benefit;
(2) the owner makes no additional premium payments;
(3) the owner is age 72 at issue, waits ten years before taking a
withdrawal, and has a Withdrawal Factor of 7%;
(4) the Roll-Up Value increases for ten years and the Purchase Payment
Benefit Amount at the end of ten years equals $200,000 (200% of premium
payments made in the first contract year);
(5) the contract earns a net return of 8% before rider charges are deducted;
and
(6) the owner dies upon reaching age 90.

Lifetime Income Plus 2008
Lifetime Income Plus 2008 provides guaranteed withdrawals for the life of the
Annuitant(s), with upside potential, provided you meet certain conditions.
First, you must allocate all Contract Value to the prescribed Investment
Strategy. You must also limit total Gross Withdrawals in each Benefit Year to
an amount no greater than the Withdrawal Limit. Then, you will be eligible to
receive total Gross Withdrawals in each Benefit Year equal to the Withdrawal
Limit until the last death of an Annuitant.
You may purchase Lifetime Income Plus 2008 with or without the Principal
Protection Death Benefit. The Principal Protection Death Benefit is a feature
available only with Lifetime Income Plus 2008. It cannot be elected separately
from Lifetime Income Plus 2008. We assess a charge for the guaranteed minimum
withdrawal benefit provided by the rider. If you purchase Lifetime Income Plus
2008 with the Principal Protection Death Benefit, a charge will be assessed for
the Principal Protection Death Benefit that is in addition to the charge for
the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under the rider.
The guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit provided under the rider may be
reduced or lost based on the withdrawals you take from the contract. For
example, your guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit will be reduced if you take
excess withdrawals in a Benefit Year. See the "Impact of Withdrawals" provision
below. You will also lose the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit if you
annuitize or surrender the contract or if you elect to terminate the rider on
any contract anniversary on or after the fifth contract anniversary. In
addition, you will no longer receive lifetime payments of your guaranteed
minimum withdrawal benefit if (i)(a) after a withdrawal, your Contract Value is
less than the amount required to keep your contract in effect or (b) your
Contract Value is reduced to $100 and (ii) your Withdrawal Limit is less than
$100. Instead, you could receive, at least, a lump sum equal to the present
value of future lifetime payments in the amount of the Withdrawal Limit.
The Principal Protection Death Benefit provided under the rider, if elected,
will be reduced and may be lost based on withdrawals you take from the
contract. You will also lose the Principal Protection Death Benefit if you
annuitize or surrender the contract or if you elect to terminate the rider.
Because this contract is no longer offered and sold, Lifetime Income Plus 2008
and the Principal Protection Death Benefit are no longer available to purchase
under the contract.
References to Lifetime Income Plus 2008 include a rider issued with or without
the Principal Protection Death Benefit, as applicable, unless stated otherwise.
Effective May 1, 2014, you may request to terminate this rider (without
terminating the contract) on any business day.
Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus 2008. In order to receive the
full benefit provided by Lifetime Income Plus 2008, you must invest all premium
payments and allocations in accordance with a prescribed Investment Strategy.
Investment Strategies may change from time to time. You may allocate your
assets in accordance with your Investment Strategy prescribed at the time the
contract was issued, or in accordance with the Investment Strategy in effect at
the time you reset your benefit. Therefore, you may have assets allocated to an
Investment Strategy that is different than the Investment Strategy described in
this prospectus. Your ability to choose different Investment Strategies is
limited, as described below.
The Investment Strategy includes Designated Subaccounts and five of the Asset
Allocation Models (Asset Allocation Models A, B, C and D and the Build Your Own
Asset Allocation Model). Under this Investment Strategy, contract owners may
allocate assets to either one of the four available Asset Allocation Models or
to one or more Designated Subaccounts or to the Build Your Own Asset Allocation
Model. Contract owners, however, may elect to participate in the Defined Dollar
Cost Averaging program, which permits the owner to systematically transfer a
fixed dollar amount on a monthly basis for twelve months from the Designated
Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust --
Government Money Market Fund to one of the available Investment Strategy
options. The Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable
Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund is only available as part of
the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program. For more information about the
Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program, the Asset Allocation Models and the
Subaccounts comprising each of the Asset Allocation Models and the Designated
Subaccounts, please see the "Defined Dollar Cost Averaging Program,"
"Subaccounts" and "Asset Allocation Program" provisions of this prospectus.
On a monthly basis, we will rebalance your Contract Value to the Subaccounts in
accordance with the percentages that you have chosen to invest in the
Designated Subaccounts or the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model or in
accordance with the allocations that comprise the applicable Asset Allocation
Model. In addition, we will also rebalance your Contract Value on any Valuation
Day after any transaction involving a withdrawal, receipt of a premium payment
or a transfer of Contract Value, unless you instruct us otherwise. If you are
participating in the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program, rebalancing will
not affect the assets allocated to the Designated Subaccount investing in the
Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund. Your
allocation instructions must always comply with the Investment Strategy.
75
Shares of a Portfolio may become unavailable under the contract for new premium
payments, transfers and asset rebalancing. As a result, shares of a Portfolio
may also become unavailable under your Investment Strategy. Investment
Strategies may be modified to respond to such events by removing unavailable
Portfolios and adding new Portfolios as appropriate. Because such changes may
affect your allocation instructions, you will need to provide updated
allocation instructions to comply with the modified Investment Strategy. If you
do not provide updated allocation instructions, any subsequent premium payments
or transfers requesting payment to an unavailable Portfolio will be considered
not in good order. Assets will remain invested as allocated at the time the
Portfolio became unavailable, except in a situation where the affected
Portfolio is removed. In that case, the assets that were invested in the
removed Portfolio will be invested in a new Portfolio consistent with SEC
precedent (appropriate no-action relief, substitution order, etc.), unless you
are invested in the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model. If you are invested
in the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model, all of the assets you have
invested in the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model will be moved from the
Model to Asset Allocation Model C. Your assets will remain in Asset Allocation
Model C, and any subsequent premium payments or transfer requests will be
applied accordingly. You will need to provide us with updated allocation
instructions if you want to invest in the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model
or another available Investment Strategy option.
Periodic rebalancing to unavailable Portfolios will cease until we receive
updated allocation instructions that comply with the modified Investment
Strategy.
The current Investment Strategy is as follows:
(1) owners may allocate assets to the following Designated Subaccounts:
AB Variable Products Series Fund, Inc. -- AB Balanced Wealth Strategy
Portfolio -- Class B;
AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) --
Invesco V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund -- Series II shares (formerly,
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund -- Series II Shares);
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;
MFS(R) Variable Insurance Trust -- MFS(R) Total Return Series -- Service
Class Shares; and/or
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. -- Total Return
V.I.S. Fund -- Class 3 Shares;
OR
(2) owners may allocate assets to Asset Allocation Model A, B, C or D.
OR
(3) owners may allocate assets to the Build Your Own Asset Allocation Model.
Contract owners may elect to participate in the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging
program when they apply for the contract. Defined Dollar Cost Averaging permits
the owner to systematically transfer a fixed dollar amount on a monthly basis
for twelve months from the Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs
Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund to one of the
available Investment Strategy options. The Designated Subaccount investing in
the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund is
only available as part of the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program.
Withdrawal Limit. The Withdrawal Limit is calculated on each Valuation Day.
The Withdrawal Limit is the benefit base multiplied by the Withdrawal Factor.
On each Valuation Day, the benefit base is the greatest of the Contract Value
on the prior contract anniversary, the Withdrawal Base, and the Roll-Up Value.
The Withdrawal Factor is established based on the age of the younger Annuitant
on the earlier of the Valuation Day of the first Gross Withdrawal and the
Valuation Day when the Contract Value is reduced to $100. The Withdrawal Factor
percentages will be provided in your contract.
Withdrawal Base. Your initial Withdrawal Base is equal to your initial premium
payment received and is adjusted when any subsequent premium payment is
received, as described in the "Premium Payments" provision. It may also change
as a result of a withdrawal or reset, as described below.
Roll-Up Value. Your initial Roll-Up Value is equal to your initial premium
payment received. We will increase your Roll-Up Value on each day. The new
Roll-Up Value is equal to the sum of (a) and (b), multiplied by (c), where:
(a) is the Roll-Up Value on the prior day;
(b) is any premium payment(s) made on the prior Valuation Day; and
(c) is the daily roll-up factor, as shown in your contract.
76
On each contract anniversary, if the Withdrawal Base is greater than the
current Roll-Up Value, the Roll-Up Value will be increased to the Withdrawal
Base. The Roll-Up Value will continue to increase until the date of the first
withdrawal or the later of the tenth anniversary of the Contract Date and the
date the older Annuitant turns age 65. The Roll-Up Value will not increase
after this date.
On any Valuation Day you make a Gross Withdrawal, if that Gross Withdrawal plus
all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal
Limit, your Roll-Up Value will be reduced to zero. The Roll-Up Value will not
increase after this date. When requesting an excess withdrawal, you will be
asked if you understand the implications of the excess withdrawal and if you
would like to proceed with the request.
Premium Payments. Any premium payment applied to your contract will be added
to your Withdrawal Base and your Principal Protection Death Benefit (if
applicable), and may be added to your Roll-Up Value as described in the
"Roll-Up Value" provision above. Please note that we do not consider Bonus
Credits as "premium payments" for purposes of the contract and this rider.
Therefore, any applicable Bonus Credit will not be included in the Withdrawal
Base, Principal Protection Death Benefit or Roll Up Value, if applicable. You
will have to reset your benefit under the terms of the rider to capture the
Bonus Credit or any related earnings in the Withdrawal Base. You must allocate
all assets to the prescribed Investment Strategy.
Important Note. We reserve the right to not adjust the Withdrawal Base,
Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable), and/or Roll-Up Value for
any subsequent premium payments received. As a result, it is possible that you
would not be able to make subsequent premium payments after the initial premium
payment to take advantage of the benefits provided by Lifetime Income Plus 2008
that would be associated with such additional premium payments. Before making
premium payments that do not increase the Withdrawal Base, Principal Protection
Death Benefit (if applicable) or Roll-Up Value, you should consider that:
(i) the guaranteed amounts provided by the Withdrawal Base, Principal
Protection Death Benefit (if applicable) and Roll-Up Value will not include
such premium payments or Bonus Credits; and (ii) this rider may not make sense
for you if you intend to make premium payments that will not increase the
Withdrawal Base, Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable) and Roll-Up
Value.
Reset of the Benefit. You may reset your Withdrawal Base on an annual
anniversary of the Contract Date when your Contract Value is higher than the
Withdrawal Base. If such contract anniversary is not a Valuation Day, the reset
will occur on the next Valuation Day. On the Valuation Day you reset your
benefit, we will reset the Investment Strategy to the current Investment
Strategy and reset the charges for this rider.
Effective on and after December 3, 2012, the charge for Lifetime Income Plus
2008 increased, on an annual basis, to 1.25% upon reset of the Withdrawal Base.
The rider charge increase applies to both single and joint annuitant contracts
regardless of the date the contract was issued. If you are potentially
impacted, you will receive written notice in advance of your contract
anniversary informing you of your options as well as a discussion of certain
circumstances in which a reset would not be in your best interest. If your
rider is scheduled to automatically reset, you will have the opportunity to
opt-out of the automatic reset and resulting rider charge increase. If you have
to request a manual reset, you will have the opportunity to reset and, if you
reset, incur the higher rider charge. We reserve the right to discontinue
sending written notice of the potential impact of a reset after we send you the
first notice.
As noted, if there is an automatic reset, your Withdrawal Base will be
increased to your Contract Value. However, the Withdrawal Base is just one
element used to determine your Benefit Base which is in turn used to calculate
your Withdrawal Limit. The Benefit Base is the greatest of the Withdrawal Base,
Contract Value on the prior contract anniversary and the Roll-Up Value. If your
Withdrawal Base resets but your Roll-Up Value is higher than your Withdrawal
Base on the date of reset, the Roll-Up Value will be used to determine your
Benefit Base, but you will be assessed a rider charge of 1.25% because of the
reset of the Withdrawal Base. In this circumstance, if your rider fee was less
than 1.25% before the reset, you will pay a higher rider fee for a benefit that
you would have received even without the reset.
For Lifetime Income Plus 2008 without the Principal Protection Death Benefit,
the new charges, which may be higher than your previous charges, will never
exceed 2.00% of the benefit base. For Lifetime Income Plus 2008 with the
Principal Protection Death Benefit, the new charges, which may be higher than
your previous charges, will never exceed 2.00% of the benefit base plus 0.50%
of the value of the Principal Protection Death Benefit. The reset date must be
at least 12 months after the later of the Contract Date and the last reset
date. Resets will occur automatically unless such automatic resets are or have
been terminated.
Any change to the charges or to the required Investment Strategy for this rider
will be communicated to you in writing prior to the contract anniversary date.
Upon reset, these changes will apply. The reset provision is not available on
or after the latest permitted Maturity Date.
77
Automatic resets will continue until and unless:
(a) the owner (or owners) submits a written request to our Home Office to
terminate automatic resets (such a request must be received at least 15
days prior to the contract anniversary date);
(b) the Investment Strategy changes, allocations are affected, and we do not
receive confirmation of new allocations from you at our Home Office;
(c) income payments begin via annuitization; or
(d) ownership of the contract changes.
If automatic resets have terminated, you may later reinstate automatic resets
for any future contract anniversary by submitting a written request to do so;
provided you are following the Investment Strategy and income payments have not
begun.
Please note that an automatic reset will occur on a contract anniversary if
Contract Value is even nominally higher than the Withdrawal Base (e.g., as
little as $1.00 or even $0.01 higher) and, therefore, an automatic reset may
not be in your best interest because: (i) the charges for this rider may be
higher than your previous charges and (ii) the Investment Strategy will be
reset to the current Investment Strategy (the Investment Strategy offered on
the reset date). Please carefully consider the impact of automatic resets when
you elect Lifetime Income Plus 2008 and while the rider is in effect.
Impact of Withdrawals. If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals
in a Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal Limit, your Withdrawal Base,
Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable) and Roll-Up Value are
reduced. The new Withdrawal Base equals the lesser of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
(b) is the prior Withdrawal Base minus the Gross Withdrawal.
The new Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable) equals the lesser of
(a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
(b) is the prior Principal Protection Death Benefit minus the Gross
Withdrawal.
The new Roll-Up Value will be zero. Additional premium payments will not
increase the Roll-Up Value.
If the total Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year are less than or equal to the
Withdrawal Limit, we will waive any surrender charge on the Gross Withdrawal.
The Withdrawal Limit will be increased for any Benefit Year to the extent
necessary to meet any minimum distribution requirements based on life
expectancy under federal tax law. This increase applies only to the required
minimum distribution based on the Contract Value for the calendar year ending
within the Benefit Year.
You should carefully manage withdrawals because excess withdrawals will have
adverse consequences on the benefits provided under Lifetime Income Plus 2008,
particularly in down markets. Over the period of time during which you take
withdrawals, there is the risk that you may need funds in excess of the
Withdrawal Limit and, if you do not have other sources of income available, you
may need to take (excess) withdrawals that will reduce your Withdrawal Base
(and, consequently, your Withdrawal Limit), the Principal Protection Death
Benefit (if applicable), and your Roll-Up Value.
You also should carefully consider when to begin taking withdrawals if you
elected Lifetime Income Plus 2008. The longer you wait before beginning to take
withdrawals, the higher the Withdrawal Factor will be, which is one of the
components used to determine the amount of your Withdrawal Limit. If you delay
taking withdrawals too long, however, you may limit the number of years
available for you to take withdrawals in the future (due to life expectancy)
and you may be paying for a benefit you are not using.
Your Contract Value after taking a withdrawal may be less than the amount
required to keep your contract in effect. In this event, or if your Contract
Value is reduced to $100, the following will occur:
. If the Withdrawal Limit is less than $100, we will pay you the greatest of
the following:
(a) the Contract Value;
(b) a lump sum equal to the present value of future lifetime payments in
the amount of the Withdrawal Limit calculated using the 2000 Annuity
Mortality Table and an interest rate of 3%; and
(c) the Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable).
. If the Withdrawal Limit is greater than or equal to $100, we will begin
income payments. We will make payments of a fixed amount for the life of
the Annuitant or, if there are Joint Annuitants, the last
78
surviving Annuitant. The fixed amount payable annually will equal the most
recently calculated Withdrawal Limit. We will make payments monthly or on
another periodic basis agreed by us. If the monthly amount is less than
$100, we will reduce the frequency so that the payment will be at least
$100. The Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable) will continue
under this provision. The Principal Protection Death Benefit will be
reduced by each payment. The Principal Protection Death Benefit, if any,
will be payable on the death of the last surviving Annuitant.
Principal Protection Death Benefit. You may purchase Lifetime Income Plus 2008
with the Principal Protection Death Benefit. The Principal Protection Death
Benefit is a feature available only with Lifetime Income Plus 2008. It cannot
be elected separately from Lifetime Income Plus 2008.
The Principal Protection Death Benefit is used to determine the death benefit,
if any, payable under the contract and rider as described in the "Death
Provisions" section below. The Principal Protection Death Benefit on the
Contract Date is equal to the initial premium payment. Premium payments in a
Benefit Year increase the Principal Protection Death Benefit.
Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year decrease the Principal Protection Death
Benefit. If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit
Year is less than or equal to the Withdrawal Limit, the Principal Protection
Death Benefit will be reduced by the Gross Withdrawal. If a Gross Withdrawal
plus all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is in excess of the
Withdrawal Limit, your Principal Protection Death Benefit will equal the lesser
of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
(b) is the prior Principal Protection Death Benefit minus the Gross
Withdrawal.
Death Provisions. At the death of the last surviving Annuitant, a death
benefit may be payable under this contract and rider. The amount of any death
benefit payable will be the greatest of (a), (b) and (c), where:
(a) is the death benefit as calculated under the base contract;
(b) is the Principal Protection Death Benefit (if applicable); and
(c) is any amount payable by any other optional death benefit rider (if
applicable).
The death benefit payable will be paid according to the distribution rules
under the contract.
If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is not an Annuitant,
whose age is 45 through 85, and who elects to continue the contract as the new
owner, this rider will continue. The Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value for the
new owner will be the death benefit determined as of the first Valuation Day we
receive at our Home Office due proof of death and all required forms. The
Withdrawal Factor for the new owner will be based on the age of that owner on
the date of the first Gross Withdrawal for that owner.
If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is an Annuitant and who
elects to continue the contract as the owner, this rider will continue. The
Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value will be the same as it was under the contract
for the deceased owner. If no withdrawals were taken prior to the first
Valuation Day we receive due proof of death and all required forms at our Home
Office, the Withdrawal Factor for the surviving spouse will be established
based on the attained age of the surviving spouse on the date of the first
Gross Withdrawal for the surviving spouse. Otherwise, the Withdrawal Factor
will continue as it was under the contract for the deceased owner.
If the surviving spouse cannot continue the rider, the rider and the rider
charges will terminate. The charges for this rider will be calculated, pro
rata, and deducted.
Proceeds that were transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust --
Government Money Market Fund upon the death of the owner will be reallocated to
the Investment Strategy and the asset percentages then in effect at the time of
the death of the owner. Such reallocations will not be counted as a transfer
for the purpose of the number of transfers allowed under the contract in a
calendar year.
Considerations. While the rider is designed to provide life-time withdrawal
benefits, these benefits are only guaranteed to the extent you comply with the
limits, conditions and restrictions set forth in the contract.
Rider Charge. We assess a charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
provided by the rider. The charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
is calculated quarterly as a percentage of the benefit base, as defined and
determined under the rider, and deducted quarterly from the Contract Value.
Please note that, if your benefit base increases, the amount deducted from your
Contract Value will increase.
If you purchase Lifetime Income Plus 2008 with the Principal Protection Death
Benefit, a charge will be assessed for the Principal Protection Death Benefit
that is in addition to the charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
under the rider. The charge for the Principal Protection Death Benefit is
calculated quarterly as a percentage of the value of the Principal Protection
Death Benefit, as defined and determined
79
under the rider, and deducted quarterly from the Contract Value. Please note
that, if the value of the Principal Protection Death Benefit increases through
additional premium payments, the amount deducted from your Contract Value will
increase. The charge for the Principal Protection Death Benefit is higher if
any annuitant is age 71 or older at the time of application.
For contracts that have not reset their Withdrawal Base on or after December 3,
2012, we also apply different charges for the rider for a single Annuitant
contract and a Joint Annuitant contract. Once a contract is a Joint Annuitant
contract and the Joint Annuitant rider charge is applied, the Joint Annuitant
rider charge will continue while the rider is in effect. If a spouse is added
as Joint Annuitant after the contract is issued, new charges may apply. These
new charges may be higher than the charges previously applicable to your
contract.
If you reset your benefits under the rider, we will reset the charges for the
rider, which may be higher than your previous charges.
We currently assess the following charges for the rider, calculated and
deducted as described above, for those contracts that have reset their
Withdrawal Base on or after December 3, 2012:

Single or Joint Annuitant Contract 1.25% of benefit base

deducted as described above, for those contracts that have not reset their
Withdrawal Base on or after December 3, 2012:
Lifetime Income Plus 2008 without the Principal Protection Death Benefit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Single Annuitant Contract 0.75% of benefit base
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joint Annuitant Contract 0.85% of benefit base
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lifetime Income Plus 2008 with the Principal Protection Death Benefit --
Annuitant Age 45-70
Single Annuitant Contract 0.75% of benefit base plus
0.15% of value of Principal
Protection Death Benefit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joint Annuitant Contract 0.85% of benefit base plus
0.15% of value of Principal
Protection Death Benefit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lifetime Income Plus 2008 with the Principal Protection Death Benefit --
Annuitant Age 71-85
Single Annuitant Contract 0.75% of benefit base plus
0.40% of value of Principal
Protection Death Benefit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joint Annuitant Contract 0.85% of benefit base plus
0.40% of value of Principal
Protection Death Benefit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The charges for Lifetime Income Plus 2008 without the Principal Protection
Death Benefit will never exceed 2.00% of benefit base. The charges for Lifetime
Income Plus 2008 with the Principal Protection Death Benefit will never exceed
2.00% of benefit base plus 0.50% of the value of the Principal Protection Death
Benefit.
On the day the rider and/or the contract terminates, the charges for this rider
will be calculated, pro rata, and deducted.
Please note that you will begin paying the rider charge (including the
applicable charge associated with the Principal Protection Death Benefit if you
have elected that option) as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do
not begin taking withdrawals under the rider for many years, or ever. We will
not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to
take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider; nor
will we refund charges if the Principal Protection Death Benefit feature under
a contract does not pay out.
When the Rider is Effective
If available, Lifetime Income Plus 2008 and the Principal Protection Death
Benefit must be elected at application. The rider will remain in effect while
the contract is in force and before the Maturity Date. Effective May 1, 2014,
you may request to terminate this rider (without terminating the contract) on
any business day. The rider will terminate on the first day of the next quarter
as measured from the contract anniversary (i.e., not a calendar quarter). Rider
charges will continue from the date of the request to terminate until the date
of termination. On the day the rider and/or the contract terminates, the
charges for this rider will be calculated, pro rata, and deducted. We are
waiving the provision in the rider that limits the ability to terminate the
rider to any contract anniversary on or after the fifth contract anniversary.
Otherwise this rider and the corresponding charges will terminate on the
Maturity Date. Please note that, upon termination of this rider, you will lose
all of the benefits for which you are eligible under the rider, including any
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits provided by the rider.
At any time before the Maturity Date, you can elect to annuitize under current
annuity rates in lieu of continuing Lifetime
80
Income Plus 2008. This may provide a higher income amount and/or more favorable
tax treatment than payments made under this rider.
Change of Ownership
We must approve any assignment or sale of this contract unless the assignment
is a court ordered assignment.
General Provisions
For purposes of this rider:
. A non-natural entity owner must name an Annuitant and may name the
Annuitant's spouse as a Joint Annuitant.
. An individual owner must also be an Annuitant and may name his or her
spouse as a Joint Annuitant at issue.
. A joint owner must be the owner's spouse.
. If you marry after issue, you may add your spouse as a joint owner and
Joint Annuitant or as a Joint Annuitant only, subject to our approval.
. Under federal tax law, all contract provisions relating to spousal
continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of
"spouse" under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex
marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized
under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic
partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages
under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal
law. Consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Civil union partners are not permitted to continue the contract without
taking required distributions upon the death of an owner. Therefore, even
if named a joint owner/Joint Annuitant, a civil union partner will have to
take required distributions upon the death of the other joint owner/Joint
Annuitant. See the "Distribution Rules" provision of this prospectus. If
this situation applies to you, you should consult a tax adviser.

Examples
The following examples show how Lifetime Income Plus 2008 works based on
hypothetical values. The examples are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended to depict investment performance of the contract and, therefore,
should not be relied upon in making a decision to invest in the rider or
contract. The examples assume current rider charges for all periods shown. If
an owner resets the benefits under the rider, we reset the charges for the
rider, which may be higher than the previous charges. Higher rider charges
would produce lower values in the examples.
This example assumes:
(1) the owner, who is also the Annuitant, purchases the contract for
$100,000 and elects Lifetime Income Plus 2008 without the Principal
Protection Death Benefit;
(2) the owner makes no additional premium payments;
(3) the owner is age 52 at issue, waits 13 years to take a withdrawal, and
has a Withdrawal Factor of 5.5%;
(4) the Roll-Up Value increases until age 65;
(5) the contract earns a net return of -2%, before rider charges are
deducted;
(6) the owner takes partial withdrawals equal to the Withdrawal Limit (which
is the Withdrawal Factor multiplied by the benefit base) for the rest of
the owner's life;
(7) The Withdrawal Base is reset annually on the contract anniversary; and
(8) the owner dies upon reaching age 90.

Lifetime Income Plus 2007
Lifetime Income Plus 2007 provides guaranteed withdrawals for the life of the
Annuitant(s), with upside potential, provided you meet certain conditions. If
you:
. allocate all Contract Value to the prescribed Investment Strategy; and
. limit total Gross Withdrawals in each Benefit Year to an amount no greater
than the Withdrawal Limit;
then you will be eligible to receive total Gross Withdrawals in each Benefit
Year equal to the Withdrawal Limit until the last death of an Annuitant.
For important information about the Investment Strategy, please see the
"Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus and Lifetime Income Plus 2007"
provision below.
The guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit provided under the rider may be
reduced or lost based on the withdrawals you take from the contract. For
example, your guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit will be reduced if you take
excess withdrawals in a Benefit Year. See the "Withdrawals" provision below.
Your benefit will also be reduced if you choose not to follow the Investment
Strategy. See the "Impact of Violating the Investment Strategy on the
Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit" provision below. You will also lose
the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit if you annuitize or surrender the
contract. In addition, you will no longer receive lifetime payments of your
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit if (i)(a) after a withdrawal, your
Contract Value is less than the amount required to keep your contract in effect
or (b) your Contract Value is reduced to $100 and (ii) your Withdrawal Limit is
less than $100. Instead, you could receive, at least, a lump sum equal to the
present value of future lifetime payments in the amount of the Withdrawal Limit.
The Rider Death Benefit provided under the rider, if elected, will be reduced
and may be lost based on withdrawals you take from the contract. Your benefit
will also be reduced if you choose not to follow the Investment Strategy. See
the "Impact of Violating the Investment Strategy on the Withdrawal Factor and
Rider Death Benefit" provision below. You will also lose the Rider Death
Benefit if you annuitize or surrender the contract.
Lifetime Income Plus 2007 is not available for contracts issued on or after
September 8, 2008.
Withdrawal Limit. The Withdrawal Limit is calculated on each Valuation Day.
The Withdrawal Limit is (a) multiplied by (b) where:
(a) is the greatest of:
(1) the Contract Value on the prior contract anniversary;
(2) the Withdrawal Base; and
(3) the Roll-Up Value; and
(b) is the Withdrawal Factor.
The Withdrawal Base and the Roll-Up Value are amounts used to calculate and
establish the Withdrawal Limit. The Withdrawal Factor is established based on
the age of the younger Annuitant on the earlier of the Valuation Day of the
first Gross Withdrawal and the Valuation Day when the Contract Value is reduced
to $100.
Withdrawal Base. Your initial Withdrawal Base is equal to your initial premium
payment received and is adjusted when any subsequent premium payment is
received, as described in the "Premium Payments" provision.
Roll-Up Value. Your initial Roll-Up Value is equal to your initial premium
payment received. On each Valuation Day your Roll-Up Value will be adjusted.
The new Roll-Up Value will equal (a) plus (b) plus (c), where:
(a) is the Roll-Up Value on the prior Valuation Day;
(b) is any premium payment made on the current Valuation Day;
(c) is the daily roll-up rate, as shown in your contract, multiplied by the
cumulative premium payments.
The Roll-Up Value will continue to increase until the earlier of (i) the "last
roll-up date" or (ii) the date of the first withdrawal. The "last roll-up date"
is the later of the fifth contract anniversary or the first contract
anniversary on or after the day the older Annuitant turns 70 years old. On the
last roll-up date or the date of the first withdrawal, whichever comes first,
the Roll-Up Value will equal the Roll-Up Value on the prior Valuation Day.
After this date, additional premium payments will not increase the Roll-Up
Value.
On any Valuation Day you make a Gross Withdrawal, if that Gross Withdrawal plus
all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal
Limit, your Roll-Up Value will be reduced to zero. After this date, additional
premium payments will not increase the Roll-Up Value.
Premium Payments. Any premium payment applied to your contract will adjust
your Withdrawal Base and your Rider
88
Death Benefit, and may adjust your Roll-Up Value as described in the "Roll-Up
Value" provision above. Please note that we do not consider Bonus Credits as
"premium payments" for purposes of the contract and this rider. Therefore, any
applicable Bonus Credit will not be included in the Withdrawal Base, Rider
Death Benefit or Roll-Up Value, if applicable. You will have to reset your
benefit under the terms of the rider to capture the Bonus Credit or any related
earnings in the Withdrawal Base.
In order to obtain the full benefit provided by this rider, you must allocate
all assets to the prescribed Investment Strategy from the Benefit Date. Except
as noted below, if you have allocated all assets to the Investment Strategy
from the Benefit Date, any subsequent premium payment will be added to the
Roll-Up Value. If you have not allocated all assets to the Investment Strategy,
the premium payment will be added to the Withdrawal Base and, if applicable,
the Roll-Up Value, but the Rider Death Benefit will be increased only by 50% of
the premium payment.
Important Note. We reserve the right to not adjust the Withdrawal Base, Rider
Death Benefit, and/or Roll-Up Value for any subsequent premium payments
received. As a result, it is possible that you would not be able to make
subsequent premium payments after the initial premium payment to take advantage
of the benefits provided by Lifetime Income Plus 2007 that would be associated
with such additional premium payments. Before making premium payments that do
not increase the Withdrawal Base, Rider Death Benefit or Roll-Up Value, you
should consider that: (i) the guaranteed amounts provided by the Withdrawal
Base, Rider Death Benefit and Roll-Up Value will not include such premium
payments or Bonus Credits; and (ii) this rider may not make sense for you if
you intend to make premium payments that will not increase the Withdrawal Base,
Rider Death Benefit and Roll-Up Value.
Impact of Violating the Investment Strategy on the Withdrawal Factor and Rider
Death Benefit. Beginning on the first Valuation Day after you choose not to
follow the Investment Strategy, your Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit
will be reduced by 50%.
You may elect to resume participation in the Investment Strategy, as described
in the "Restoration or Reset of the Benefit" provision below, provided we
receive notice of your election in a form acceptable to us.
We will not reduce your Withdrawal Factor or Rider Death Benefit if you are not
following the Investment Strategy due to a Portfolio liquidation or a Portfolio
dissolution and the assets are transferred from the liquidated or dissolved
Portfolio to another Portfolio.
Restoration or Reset of the Benefit
Restoration. If your Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit have been
reduced because you have not allocated all assets to the prescribed Investment
Strategy, you will have a one-time opportunity to restore your Withdrawal
Factor and Rider Death Benefit on a contract anniversary. If such contract
anniversary is not a Valuation Day, the restoration will occur on the next
Valuation Day. The restore feature under this rider may be used only once and
is not available on or after the latest permitted Maturity Date.
On the Valuation Day we restore your benefit, we will:
(a) restore the Withdrawal Factor to 100% of the Withdrawal Factor
established as of the date of the first withdrawal;
(b) calculate your Rider Death Benefit to equal the lesser of (i) the total
premium payments less Gross Withdrawals and (ii) current Contract Value;
(c) calculate your Withdrawal Base to equal the lesser of (i) the Withdrawal
Base as of the date of the restore, determined as if you have not
allocated outside of the prescribed Investment Strategy and (ii) the
current Contract Value;
(d) allocate your assets to the Investment Strategy in effect as of the last
Benefit Date prior to the reduction in benefits, in accordance to your
instructions; and
(e) assess a rider charge equal to the charge that was in effect as of your
last Benefit Date prior to the reduction in benefits.
If you want to restore your benefit, we must receive notice of your election at
our Home Office in a form acceptable to us at least 15 days prior to your next
contract anniversary.
Reset. You may reset your Withdrawal Base on an annual anniversary of the
Contract Date when your Contract Value is higher than the Withdrawal Base. If
such contract anniversary is not a Valuation Day, the reset will occur on the
next Valuation Day. The reset date must be at least 12 months after the later
of the Contract Date and the last reset date. Resets will occur automatically
unless such automatic resets are or have been terminated.
On the Valuation Day we reset your benefit, we will:
(a) reset the Withdrawal Factor to 100% of the Withdrawal Factor established
as of the date of first withdrawal;
(b) reset the Rider Death Benefit to the lesser of (i) the total premium
payments less Gross Withdrawals and (ii) current Contract Value;
89
(c) reset the Withdrawal Base to your Contract Value;
(d) reset the Investment Strategy to the current Investment Strategy; and
(e) reset the charge for this rider (the new charge, which may be higher
than your previous charge, will never exceed 2.00%).
Effective on and after July 15, 2019, the charge for Lifetime Income Plus 2007
increased, on an annual basis, to 1.25% upon reset of the Withdrawal Base. The
rider charge increase applies to both single Annuitant and Joint Annuitant
contracts regardless of the date the contract was issued. If you are
potentially impacted, you will receive written notice in advance of your
contract anniversary informing you of your options as well as a discussion of
certain circumstances in which a reset would not be in your best interest. If
your rider is scheduled to automatically reset, you will have the opportunity
to opt-out of the automatic reset and resulting rider charge increase. If you
have to request a manual reset, you will have the opportunity to reset and, if
you reset, incur the higher rider charge. We reserve the right to discontinue
sending written notice of the potential impact of a reset after we send you the
first notice.
As noted above, if there is an automatic reset, your Withdrawal Base will be
increased to your Contract Value. The Withdrawal Base, however, is just one
element used to calculate your Withdrawal Limit. If your Withdrawal Base resets
but your Roll-Up Value is higher than your Withdrawal Base on the date of
reset, the Roll-Up Value will be used to determine your Withdrawal Limit, but
you will be assessed a rider charge of 1.25% because of the reset of the
Withdrawal Base. In this circumstance, if your rider fee was less than 1.25%
before the reset, you will pay a higher rider fee for a benefit that you would
have received even without the reset.
Any change to the charge or to the required Investment Strategy for this rider
will be communicated to you in writing prior to the contract anniversary date.
Upon reset, these changes will apply. The reset provision is not available on
or after the latest permitted Maturity Date.
Automatic resets will continue until and unless:
(a) the owner (or owners) submits a written request to our Home Office to
terminate automatic resets (such a request must be received at least 15
days prior to the contract anniversary date);
(b) the Investment Strategy is violated;
(c) the Investment Strategy changes, allocations are affected, and we do not
receive confirmation of new allocations from you at our Home Office;
(d) income payments begin via annuitization; or
(e) ownership of the contract changes.
If automatic resets have terminated, you may later reinstate automatic resets
for any future contract anniversary by submitting a written request to our Home
Office to do so; provided you are following the Investment Strategy and income
payments have not begun.
Please note that an automatic reset will occur on a contract anniversary if
contract value is even nominally higher than the Withdrawal Base (e.g., as
little as $1.00 or even $0.01 higher) and, therefore, an automatic reset may
not be in your best interest because: (i) the charge for this rider may be
higher than your previous charge and (ii) the Investment Strategy will be reset
to the current Investment Strategy (the Investment Strategy offered on the
reset date). Please carefully consider the impact of automatic resets when you
elect Lifetime Income Plus 2007 and while the rider is in effect.
Withdrawals. If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals in a
Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal Limit, your Withdrawal Base, Rider
Death Benefit and Roll-Up Value are reduced. The new Withdrawal Base equals the
lesser of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
(b) is the prior Withdrawal Base minus the Gross Withdrawal.
The new Rider Death Benefit equals the lesser of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
(b) is the prior Rider Death Benefit minus the Gross Withdrawal.
The new Roll-Up Value will be zero. Additional premium payments will not
increase the Roll-Up Value.
If the total Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year are less than or equal to the
Withdrawal Limit, we will waive any surrender charge on such total Gross
Withdrawals.
If all Contract Value is allocated to the Investment Strategy, the Withdrawal
Limit will be increased for any Benefit Year to the extent necessary to meet
any minimum distribution requirements based on life expectancy under federal
tax law. This increase applies only to the required minimum distribution based
on the Contract Value.
90
You should carefully consider when to begin taking withdrawals if you elected
Lifetime Income Plus 2007. The longer you wait before beginning to take
withdrawals, the higher the Withdrawal Factor will be, which is one of the
components used to determine the amount of your Withdrawal Limit. If you delay
taking withdrawals too long, however, you may limit the number of years
available for you to take withdrawals in the future (due to life expectancy)
and you may be paying for a benefit you are not using.
Your Contract Value after taking a withdrawal may be less than the amount
required to keep your contract in effect. In this event, or if your Contract
Value is reduced to $100, the following will occur:
. If the Withdrawal Limit is less than $100, we will pay you the greatest of
the Rider Death Benefit, the Contract Value and the present value of the
Withdrawal Limit in a lump sum, calculated using the Annuity 2000
Mortality Table and an interest rate of 3%.
. If the Withdrawal Limit is greater than or equal to $100, we will begin
income payments. We will make payments of a fixed amount for the life of
the Annuitant or, if there are Joint Annuitants, the last surviving
Annuitant. The fixed amount payable annually will equal the most recently
calculated Withdrawal Limit. We will make payments monthly or on another
periodic basis agreed by us. If the monthly amount is less than $100, we
will reduce the frequency so that the payment will be at least $100. The
Rider Death Benefit will continue under this provision. The Rider Death
Benefit will be reduced by each payment. The Rider Death Benefit, if any,
will be payable on the death of the last surviving Annuitant.
Death Provisions. At the death of the last surviving Annuitant, a death
benefit may be payable under this contract and rider. The amount of any death
benefit payable will be the greatest of (a), (b) and (c), where:
(a) is the death benefit as calculated under the base Contract;
(b) is the Rider Death Benefit; and
(c) is any amount payable by any other optional death benefit rider.
The death benefit payable will be paid according to the distribution rules
under the contract.
If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is not an Annuitant,
whose age is 45 through 80, and who elects to continue the contract as the new
owner, this rider will continue. The Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value for the
new owner will be the death benefit determined as of the first Valuation Day we
receive at our Home Office due proof of death and all required forms. The
Withdrawal Factor for the new owner will be based on the age of that owner on
the date of the first Gross Withdrawal for that owner.
If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is an Annuitant and who
elects to continue the contract as the owner, this rider will continue. The
Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value will be the same as it was under the contract
for the deceased owner. If no withdrawals were taken prior to the first
Valuation Day we receive due proof of death and all required forms at our Home
Office, the Withdrawal Factor for the surviving spouse will be established
based on the attained age of the surviving spouse on the date of the first
Gross Withdrawal for the surviving spouse. Otherwise, the Withdrawal Factor
will continue as it was under the contract for the deceased Owner.
If the surviving spouse cannot continue the rider, the rider and the rider
charge will terminate on the next contract anniversary.
Proceeds that were transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance
Trust -- Government Money Market Fund upon the death of the owner will be
reallocated to the Investment Strategy, if applicable, and the asset
percentages then in effect at the time of the death of the owner. Such
reallocations will not be counted as a transfer for the purpose of the number
of transfers allowed under the contract in a calendar year.
Rider Death Benefit. This rider provides for a death benefit (the "Rider Death
Benefit") that, on the Contract Date, is equal to the initial premium payment.
The Rider Death Benefit is used to determine the death benefit, if any, payable
upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant as described in the "Death
Provisions" section above.
Premium payments applied to your contract in a Benefit Year increase the Rider
Death Benefit. If you have allocated all assets to the Investment Strategy from
the Benefit Date, any subsequent premium payment will be added to the Rider
Death Benefit. Otherwise, the Rider Death Benefit will be increased only by 50%
of the premium payment.
Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year decrease the Rider Death Benefit. If a
Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is less
than or equal to the Withdrawal Limit, the Rider Death Benefit will be reduced
by the Gross Withdrawal. If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals
in a Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal Limit, your Rider Death
Benefit will equal the lesser of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
91
(b) is the prior Rider Death Benefit minus the Gross Withdrawal.
If you choose not to follow the Investment Strategy, your Rider Death Benefit
will be reduced as described in the "Impact of Violating the Investment
Strategy on the Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit" provision above.
Considerations. While the rider is designed to provide life-time withdrawal
benefits, these benefits are only guaranteed to the extent you comply with the
limits, conditions and restrictions set forth in the contract.
Rider Charge. We assess a charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
provided by the rider. The charge for Lifetime Income Plus 2007 for those
contracts that reset their Withdrawal Base on or after July 15, 2019 is equal
to 1.25% of the daily net assets in the Separate Account for both single
Annuitant and Joint Annuitant contracts. The charge for Lifetime Income Plus
2007 for those contracts that have not reset their Withdrawal Base on or after
July 15, 2019 is equal to 0.75% of the daily net assets in the Separate Account
for single Annuitant contracts and 0.85% of the daily net assets in the
Separate Account for Joint Annuitant contracts. Once a contract is a Joint
Annuitant contract, and the Joint Annuitant charge is applied, the Joint
Annuitant rider charge will continue while the rider is in effect.
The deduction for the rider charge from the Separate Account is reflected in
your Contract Value. The charge for this rider continues even if you do not
allocate assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy and the
benefits you are eligible to receive are reduced. If you reset your benefit and
allocate assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy available
at that time, we will reset the charge for the rider, which may be higher than
your previous charge, but will never exceed an annualized rate of 2.00% of your
daily net assets in the Separate Account.
Please note that you will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the
rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals under the rider
for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the
rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any
payments under the rider.
When the Rider is Effective
If available, Lifetime Income Plus 2007 must be elected at application. The
rider will remain in effect while the contract is in force and before the
Maturity Date. The rider may not be terminated prior to the Maturity Date. On
the Maturity Date, the rider, and the benefits you are eligible to receive
thereunder, will terminate.
At any time before the Maturity Date, you can elect to annuitize under current
annuity rates in lieu of continuing Lifetime Income Plus 2007. This may provide
a higher income amount and/or more favorable tax treatment than payments made
under this rider.
Change of Ownership
We must approve any assignment or sale of this contract unless the assignment
is a court ordered assignment.
General Provisions
For purposes of this rider:
. A non-natural entity owner must name an Annuitant and may name the
Annuitant's spouse as a Joint Annuitant.
. An individual owner must also be an Annuitant and may name his or her
spouse as a Joint Annuitant at issue.
. A joint owner must be the owner's spouse.
. If you marry after issue, you may add your spouse as a joint owner and
Joint Annuitant or as a Joint Annuitant only, subject to our approval.
. Under federal tax law, all contract provisions relating to spousal
continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of
"spouse" under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex
marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized
under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic
partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages
under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal
law. Consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Civil union partners are not permitted to continue the contract without
taking required distributions upon the death of an owner. Therefore, even
if named a joint owner/Joint Annuitant, a civil union partner will have to
take required distributions upon the death of the other joint owner/Joint
Annuitant. See the "Distribution Rules" provision of this prospectus. If
this situation applies to you, you should consult a tax adviser.

Examples
The following examples show how Lifetime Income Plus 2007 works based on
hypothetical values. The examples are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended to depict investment performance of the contract and, therefore,
should not be relied upon in making a decision to invest in the rider or
contract.
This example assumes:
(1) the owner, who is also the Annuitant, purchases the contract for
$100,000;
(2) a bonus credit of $5,000 (5% of $100,000) is applied to the contract;
(3) the owner makes no additional premium payments;
(4) all Contract Value is allocated in accordance with the prescribed
Investment Strategy at all times;
(5) the owner is age 62 at issue, waits 8 years to take a withdrawal, and
has a Withdrawal Factor of 6%;
(6) the Roll-Up Value increases until age 70;
(7) the contract earns a net return of -2%;
(8) the owner takes partial withdrawals equal to the Withdrawal Limit (which
is the Withdrawal Factor multiplied by the greater of the Contract Value
as of the prior contract anniversary, the Withdrawal Base and the Rollup
Value) for the rest of the owner's life; and
(9) the owner dies upon reaching age 90.

Lifetime Income Plus
Lifetime Income Plus provides guaranteed withdrawals for the life of the
Annuitant(s), at least equal to premium payments, with upside potential,
provided you meet certain conditions. If you:
. allocate all Contract Value to the prescribed Investment Strategy; and
. limit total Gross Withdrawals in each Benefit Year to an amount no greater
than the Withdrawal Limit;
then you will be eligible to receive total Gross Withdrawals in each Benefit
Year equal to the Withdrawal Limit until the last death of an Annuitant.
For important information about the Investment Strategy, please see the
"Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus and Lifetime Income Plus 2007"
provision below.
The guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit provided under the rider may be
reduced or lost based on the withdrawals you take from the contract. For
example, your guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit will be reduced if you take
excess withdrawals in a Benefit Year. See the "Withdrawals" provision below.
Your benefit will also be reduced if you choose not to follow the Investment
Strategy. See the "Impact of Violating the Investment Strategy on the
Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit" provision below. You will also lose
the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit if you annuitize or surrender the
contract. In addition, you will no longer receive lifetime payments of your
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit if (i)(a) after a withdrawal, your
Contract Value is less than the amount required to keep your contract in effect
or (b) your Contract Value is reduced to $0 and (ii) your Withdrawal Limit is
less than $100. Instead, you could receive, at least, a lump sum equal to the
present value of future lifetime payments in the amount of the Withdrawal Limit.
The Rider Death Benefit provided under the rider, if elected, will be reduced
and may be lost based on withdrawals you take from the contract. Your benefit
will also be reduced if you choose not to follow the Investment Strategy. See
the "Impact of Violating the Investment Strategy on the Withdrawal Factor and
Rider Death Benefit" provision below. You will also lose the Rider Death
Benefit if you annuitize or surrender the contract.
Lifetime Income Plus is not available for contracts issued on or after May 1,
2008.
Withdrawal Limit. The Withdrawal Limit is calculated on each Valuation Day.
The Withdrawal Limit is (a) multiplied by (b) where:
(a) is the greater of the Contract Value on the prior contract anniversary
and the Withdrawal Base; and
(b) is the Withdrawal Factor.
Withdrawal Base. The Withdrawal Base is an amount used to establish the
Withdrawal Limit. The Withdrawal Factor is established based on the attained
age of the younger Annuitant on the earlier of the Valuation Day of the first
Gross Withdrawal and the Valuation Day when the Contract Value is reduced to
zero.
Your initial Withdrawal Base is equal to your initial premium payment received
and is adjusted when any subsequent premium payment is received, as described
in the "Premium Payments" provision.
Premium Payments. Any premium payment applied to your contract will adjust
your Withdrawal Base and your Rider Death Benefit. Please note that we do not
consider Bonus Credits as "premium payments" for purposes of the contract and
this rider. Therefore, any applicable Bonus Credit will not be included in the
Withdrawal Base or the Rider Death Benefit. You will have to reset your benefit
under the terms of the rider to capture the Bonus Credit or any related
earnings in the Withdrawal Base.
In order to obtain the full benefit provided by this rider, you must allocate
all assets to the prescribed Investment Strategy since the Benefit Date. If you
have allocated all assets to the prescribed Investment Strategy since the
Benefit Date, any subsequent premium payment will be added to the Withdrawal
Base and the Rider Death Benefit. If you have not allocated all assets to the
prescribed Investment Strategy, the Withdrawal Base still will be increased by
the amount of the premium payment, but the Rider Death Benefit will be
increased only by 50% of the premium payment.
Important Note. We reserve the right to not adjust the Withdrawal Base and/or
the Rider Death Benefit for any subsequent premium payments received. As a
result, it is possible that you would not be able to make subsequent premium
payments after the initial premium payment to take advantage of the benefits
provided by Lifetime Income Plus that would be associated with such additional
premium payments. For example, if you make premium payments that are not
included in the calculation of your Withdrawal Base or the Rider Death Benefit,
you will pay a higher rider charge to the extent that the premium payments
increase the Contract Value upon which the charge is imposed. Also, to the
extent your Contract Value is increased by such premium payments, you
96
are less likely to realize any benefit under Lifetime Income Plus, because it
is less likely that your Contract Value will be less than the Withdrawal Base.
Bonus Credits will have a similar effect on your contract because they increase
Contract Value but do not adjust the Withdrawal Base or the Rider Death Benefit
when they are applied to the contract. Before making premium payments that do
not increase the Withdrawal Base or Rider Death Benefit, you should consider
that: (i) the guaranteed amounts provided by the Withdrawal Base and the Rider
Death Benefit will not include such premium payments or Bonus Credits; (ii) any
such premium payments or Bonus Credits make it less likely that you will
receive a benefit in the form of an additional amount even if your Contract
Value has declined; and (iii) this rider may not make sense for you if you
intend to make premium payments that will not increase the Withdrawal Base and
the Rider Death Benefit.
Impact of Violating the Investment Strategy on the Withdrawal Factor and Rider
Death Benefit. Beginning on the first Valuation Day after you choose not to
follow the Investment Strategy, your Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit
will be reduced by 50%.
You may elect to resume participation in the Investment Strategy, as described
in the "Restoration or Reset of the Benefit" provision below, provided we
receive notice of your election at our Home Office in a form acceptable to us.
We will not reduce your Withdrawal Factor or Rider Death Benefit if you are not
following the Investment Strategy due to a Portfolio liquidation or a Portfolio
dissolution and the assets are transferred from the liquidated or dissolved
Portfolio to another Portfolio.
Restoration or Reset of the Benefit
Restoration. If your Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit have been
reduced because you have not allocated all assets to the prescribed Investment
Strategy, you will have a one-time opportunity to restore your Withdrawal
Factor and Rider Death Benefit.
Reset. If all of the Annuitants are ages 50 through 80, you may choose to
reset your Withdrawal Base on an annual anniversary of the Contract Date that
is at least 12 months after the later of the Contract Date and the last reset
date.
If you do reset your Withdrawal Base, as of that date, we will:
. reset the Withdrawal Base to your Contract Value;
. reset the charge for this rider. The new charge, which may be higher than
your previous charge, will never exceed 2.00% annually; and
. reset the Investment Strategy to the current Investment Strategy.
Effective on and after July 15, 2019, the charge for Lifetime Income Plus
increased, on an annual basis, to 1.25% upon reset of the Withdrawal Base. The
rider charge increase applies to both single Annuitant and Joint Annuitant
contracts regardless of the date the contract was issued. If you are
potentially impacted, you will receive written notice in advance of your
contract anniversary informing you of your options as well as a discussion of
certain circumstances in which a reset would not be in your best interest. If
your rider is scheduled to systematically reset, you will have the opportunity
to opt-out of the systematic reset and resulting rider charge increase. If you
have to request a manual reset, you will have the opportunity to reset and, if
you reset, incur the higher rider charge. We reserve the right to discontinue
sending written notice of the potential impact of a reset after we send you the
first notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For either a restoration of your Withdrawal Factor, or a reset of your
Withdrawal Base, we must receive notice of your election in writing at our Home
Office, at least 15 days prior to your next contract anniversary. You may
restore your Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit once during the life of
your contract.
You may not use the restore or reset provision if any Annuitant is older than
age 80 on the contract anniversary. We reserve the right to limit the
restoration date to a contract anniversary on or after three complete years
from the Benefit Date.
Systematic Resets. You may elect to reset your Withdrawal Base automatically
on an available contract anniversary (a "systematic reset"). If you have not
previously elected to systematically reset your benefit, or if your election
has terminated, we must receive written notice of your election to
systematically reset your benefit at our Home Office at least 15 days prior to
your next contract anniversary.
A systematic reset of your Withdrawal Base will occur when your contract value
is higher than the Withdrawal Base as of the available contract anniversary or,
if the contract anniversary is not a Valuation Day, as of the next Valuation
Day. By "available contract anniversary" we mean a contract anniversary on
which you are eligible to reset your benefit, as such requirements (age and
otherwise) are described herein.
Systematic resets will continue until and unless:
(a) the Investment Strategy is violated;
(b) the owner (or owners) submits a written request to our Home Office to
terminate systematic resets;
(c) income payments begin via annuitization;
(d) the Investment Strategy changes, allocations are affected, and we do not
receive confirmation from you at our Home Office of new allocations; or
(e) ownership changes.
Please note that a systematic reset will occur on an available contract
anniversary if contract value is even nominally higher than the Withdrawal Base
(e.g., as little as $1.00 or even $0.01 higher) and, therefore, a systematic
reset may not be in your best interest because: (i) the charge for this rider
may be higher than your previous charge; and (ii) the Investment Strategy will
be reset to the current Investment Strategy (the Investment Strategy offered on
the reset date). Please carefully consider whether it is in your best interest
to elect to systematically reset your Withdrawal Base.
Withdrawals. If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals in a
Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal Limit, your Withdrawal Base and
Rider Death Benefit are reduced. The new Withdrawal Base equals the lesser of
(a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
(b) is the prior Withdrawal Base minus the Gross Withdrawal.
The new Rider Death Benefit equals the lesser of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
98
(b) is the prior Rider Death Benefit minus the Gross Withdrawal.
If the total Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year are less than or equal to the
Withdrawal Limit, we will waive any surrender charge on such total Gross
Withdrawals.
If all Contract Value is allocated to the Investment Strategy, the Withdrawal
Limit will be increased for any Benefit Year to the extent necessary to meet
any minimum distribution requirements based on life expectancy under federal
tax law. This increase applies only to the required minimum distribution based
on the Contract Value.
You should carefully consider when to begin taking withdrawals if you elected
Lifetime Income Plus. The longer you wait before beginning to take withdrawals,
the higher the Withdrawal Factor will be, which is one of the components used
to determine the amount of your Withdrawal Limit. If you delay taking
withdrawals too long, however, you may limit the number of years available for
you to take withdrawals in the future (due to life expectancy) and you may be
paying for a benefit you are not using.
Your Contract Value after taking a withdrawal may be less than the amount
required to keep your contract in effect. In this event, or if your Contract
Value becomes zero, your contract, all riders and endorsements, including this
rider, will terminate and the following will occur:
. If the Withdrawal Limit is less than $100, we will pay you the greatest of
the Rider Death Benefit, the Contract Value and the present value of the
Withdrawal Limit in a lump sum calculated using the Annuity 2000 Mortality
Table and an interest rate of 3%.
. If the Withdrawal Limit is greater than or equal to $100, we will issue
you a supplemental contract. We will continue to pay you the Withdrawal
Limit until the last death of an Annuitant. We will make payments monthly
or on another periodic basis agreed to by us. If the monthly amount is
less than $100, we will reduce the frequency, to no less than annually, so
that the payment will be at least $100. The Rider Death Benefit will
continue under the supplemental contract. The Rider Death Benefit will be
reduced by each payment made under the supplemental contract. The Rider
Death Benefit, if any, will be payable on the last death of an Annuitant.
Rider Death Benefit. This rider provides for a death benefit (the "Rider Death
Benefit") that, on the Contract Date, is equal to the initial premium payment.
The Rider Death Benefit is used to determine the death benefit payable upon the
death of the last Annuitant as described in the "Death Provisions" section
below.
Premium payments applied to your contract in a Benefit Year increase the Rider
Death Benefit. If you have allocated all assets to the Investment Strategy
since the Benefit Date, any subsequent premium payment will be added to the
Rider Death Benefit. Otherwise, the Rider Death Benefit will be increased only
by 50% of the premium payment.
Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year decrease the Rider Death Benefit. If a
Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is less
than or equal to the Withdrawal Limit, the Rider Death Benefit will be reduced
by the Gross Withdrawal. If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals
in a Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal Limit, your Rider Death
Benefit will equal the lesser of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
and
(b) is the prior Rider Death Benefit minus the Gross Withdrawal.
If you choose not to follow the Investment Strategy, your Rider Death Benefit
will be reduced as described in the "Impact of Violating the Investment
Strategy on the Withdrawal Factor and Rider Death Benefit" provision above.
Rider Charge. We assess a charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
provided by the rider. The charge for Lifetime Income Plus for those contracts
that reset their Withdrawal Base on or after July 15, 2019 is equal to 1.25% of
the daily net assets in the Separate Account for both single Annuitant and
Joint Annuitant contracts. The charge for Lifetime Income Plus for those
contracts that have not reset their Withdrawal Base on or after July 15, 2019
is equal to 0.60% of the daily net assets in the Separate Account for single
Annuitant contracts and 0.75% of the daily net assets in the Separate Account
for Joint Annuitant contracts. Once a contract is a Joint Annuitant contract,
and the Joint Annuitant charge is applied, the Joint Annuitant rider charge
will continue while the rider is in effect.
The deduction for the rider charge from the Separate Account is reflected in
your Contract Value. The charge for this rider continues even if you do not
allocate assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy and the
benefits you are eligible to receive are reduced. If you reset your benefit and
allocate assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy available
at that time, we will reset the charge for the rider, which may be higher than
your previous charge, but will never exceed an annualized rate of 2.00% of your
daily net assets in the Separate Account.
99
Please note that you will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the
rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals under the rider
for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the
rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any
payments under the rider.
Considerations. While the rider is designed to provide life-time withdrawal
benefits, these benefits are only guaranteed to the extent you comply with the
limits, conditions and restrictions set forth in the contract.
When the Rider is Effective
Lifetime Income Plus must be elected at application. Lifetime Income Plus is
not available for contracts issued on or after May 1, 2008. The rider will
remain in effect while the contract is in force and before the Maturity Date.
The rider may not be terminated prior to the Maturity Date. On the Maturity
Date, the rider, and the benefits you are eligible to receive thereunder, will
terminate.
At any time before the Maturity Date, you can elect to annuitize under current
annuity rates in lieu of continuing Lifetime Income Plus. This may provide a
higher income amount and/or more favorable tax treatment than payments made
under this rider.
Change of Ownership
We must approve any assignment or sale of this contract unless the assignment
is a court ordered assignment.
General Provisions
For purposes of this rider:
. A non-natural entity owner must name an Annuitant and may name the
Annuitant's spouse as a Joint Annuitant.
. An individual owner must also be an Annuitant.
. You may name only your spouse as a joint owner.
. If there is only one owner, that owner may name only his or her spouse as
a Joint Annuitant at issue.
. If you marry after issue, you may add your spouse as a joint owner and
Joint Annuitant or as a Joint Annuitant only, subject to our approval.
. Under federal tax law, all contract provisions relating to spousal
continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of
"spouse" under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex
marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized
under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic
partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages
under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal
law. Consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Civil union partners are not permitted to continue the contract without
taking required distributions upon the death of an owner. Therefore, even
if named a joint owner/Joint Annuitant, a civil union partner will have to
take required distributions upon the death of the other joint owner/Joint
Annuitant. See the "Distribution Rules" provision of this prospectus. If
this situation applies to you, you should consult a tax adviser.
Death Provisions
At the death of the last Annuitant, a death benefit may be payable under this
contract and rider. The amount of any death benefit payable will be the
greatest of (a), (b) and (c), where:
(a) is the death benefit as calculated under the base Contract;
(b) is the Rider Death Benefit; and
(c) is any amount payable by any other optional death benefit rider.
The death benefit payable will be paid according to the distribution rules
under the contract.
If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is not an Annuitant,
whose age is 50 through 80, and who elects to continue the contract as the new
owner, this rider will continue. The Withdrawal Base for the new owner will be
the death benefit determined as of the first Valuation Day we have receipt of
due proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office. The Withdrawal
Factor for the new owner will be based on the age of that owner on the date of
the first Gross Withdrawal for that owner.
If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is an Annuitant and who
elects to continue the contract as the owner, this rider will continue. The
Withdrawal Base will be the same as it was under the contract for the deceased
owner. If no withdrawals were taken prior to the first Valuation Day we receive
due proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office, the Withdrawal
Factor for the surviving spouse will be established based on the attained age
of the surviving spouse on the date of the first Gross Withdrawal for the
surviving spouse. Otherwise, the Withdrawal Factor will continue as it was
under the contract for the deceased Owner.
If the surviving spouse cannot continue the rider, the rider and the rider
charge will terminate on the next contract anniversary.
Proceeds that were transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance
Trust -- Government Money Market Fund upon the death of the owner will be
reallocated to the Investment Strategy, if applicable, and the asset
percentages then in effect at the time of the death of the owner. Such
reallocations will not be counted as a transfer for the purpose of the number
of transfers allowed under the contract in a calendar year.

Examples
The following examples show how Lifetime Income Plus works based on
hypothetical values. The examples are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended to depict investment performance of the contract and, therefore,
should not be relied upon in making a decision to invest in the rider or
contract.
This example assumes:
(1) the owner, who is also the Annuitant, purchases the contract for
$100,000;
(2) a bonus credit of $5,000 (5% of $100,000) is applied to the contract;
(3) the owner makes no additional premium payments;
(4) all Contract Value is allocated in accordance with the prescribed
Investment Strategy at all times;
(5) the owner is age 65 at issue and has a Withdrawal Factor of 5.5%;
(6) the contract earns a net return of -2%;
(7) the owner takes partial withdrawals equal to the Withdrawal Limit (which
is the Withdrawal Factor multiplied by the greater of the Contract Value
as of the prior contract anniversary and the Withdrawal Base) until the
Contract Value reduces to zero, at which time a supplemental contract is
issued which pays the Withdrawal Limit for the rest of the owner's life;
and
(8) the owner dies upon reaching age 90.

Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus and Lifetime Income Plus 2007
In order to receive the full benefit provided by Lifetime Income Plus and
Lifetime Income Plus 2007, you must invest all premium payments and allocations
in accordance with a prescribed Investment Strategy. If you do not allocate all
assets in accordance with a prescribed Investment Strategy, your benefit under
the rider will be reduced by 50%. Even if your benefit is reduced, you will
continue to pay the full amount charged for the rider.
Contract owners that own Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus
Solution must always allocate assets in accordance with the Investment
Strategy. The Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus 2008 is discussed
above in the "Lifetime Income Plus 2008" provision of this prospectus. The
Investment Strategy for Lifetime Income Plus Solution is discussed above in the
"Lifetime Income Plus Solution" provision of this prospectus.
Investment Strategies may change from time to time. You may allocate your
assets in accordance with your Investment Strategy prescribed at the time the
contract was issued, or in accordance with the Investment Strategy in effect at
the time you reset your benefit. Therefore, you may have assets allocated to an
Investment Strategy that is different than the Investment Strategy described in
this prospectus. Your ability to choose different Investment Strategies is
limited, as described below.
The Investment Strategy includes Designated Subaccounts and Asset Allocation
Model C. Under this Investment Strategy, contract owners may allocate assets to
either Asset Allocation Model C or to one or more Designated Subaccounts.
Contract owners may not allocate assets to Asset Allocation Model C and one or
more Designated Subaccounts. For more information about Asset Allocation Model
C and the Subaccounts comprising Asset Allocation Model C and the Designated
Subaccounts, please see the "Subaccounts" and "Asset Allocation Program"
provisions of this prospectus.
On a monthly basis, we will rebalance your Contract Value to the Subaccounts in
accordance with the percentages that you have chosen to invest in the
Designated Subaccounts or in accordance with the allocations that comprise
Asset Allocation Model C. In addition, we will also rebalance your Contract
Value on any Valuation Day after any transaction involving a withdrawal,
receipt of a premium payment or a transfer of Contract Value, unless you
instruct us otherwise.
Shares of a Portfolio may become unavailable under the contract for new premium
payments, transfers and asset rebalancing. As a result, shares of a Portfolio
may also become unavailable under your Investment Strategy. Investment
Strategies may be modified to respond to such events by removing unavailable
Portfolios and adding new Portfolios as appropriate. Because such changes may
affect your allocation instructions, you will need to provide updated
allocation instructions to comply with the modified Investment Strategy. If you
do not provide updated allocation instructions, any subsequent premium payments
or transfers requesting payment to an unavailable Portfolio will be considered
not in good order. Periodic rebalancing to unavailable Portfolios will cease
and any imbalances in percentages due to lack of asset rebalancing will not
cause a reduction in your benefit.
If you request a transfer or send a subsequent premium payment with allocation
instructions to a Portfolio that is not part of the prescribed Investment
Strategy, we will honor your instructions. Please be aware, however, that your
total Contract Value will not be invested in accordance with the prescribed
Investment Strategy and the guaranteed amount available for withdrawal will be
reduced by 50%, resulting in a reduction in your benefit. You may reset your
benefit on the next available reset date as described in the "Restoration or
Reset of the Benefit" provision for the applicable Guaranteed Minimum
Withdrawal Benefit Rider Option.
The current Investment Strategy is as follows:
(1) owners may allocate assets to the following Designated Subaccounts:
AB Variable Products Series Fund, Inc. -- AB Balanced Wealth Strategy
Portfolio -- Class B;
AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) --
Invesco V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund -- Series II shares (formerly,
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund -- Series II Shares);
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;
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund -- VIP Balanced
Portfolio -- Service Class 2;
Janus Aspen Series -- Janus Henderson Balanced Portfolio -- Service
Shares;
MFS(R) Variable Insurance Trust -- MFS(R) Total Return Series -- Service
Class Shares; and/or
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. --Total Return V.I.S.
Fund -- Class 3 Shares;
104
OR
(2) owners may allocate assets to Asset Allocation Model C.
DEATH OF OWNER AND/OR ANNUITANT
For contracts issued on or after the later of May 1, 2003, or the date on which
state insurance authorities approve applicable contract modifications, the
following provisions apply:
Distribution Provisions Upon Death of Owner or Joint Owner
In certain circumstances, federal tax law requires that distributions be made
under this contract upon an individual's death. Except as described below in
the "Distribution Rules" provisions, a distribution is required upon the death
of:
(1) an owner or joint owner; or
(2) the Annuitant or Contingent Annuitant if any owner or joint owner is a
non-natural entity.
The amount of proceeds payable upon the death of an owner or joint owner (or
the Annuitant or Contingent Annuitant if an owner or joint owner is a
non-natural entity) and the methods available for distributing such proceeds
are described below.
If any owner or joint owner who is not also an Annuitant dies prior to the
Maturity Date, the amount of proceeds payable will be the Contract Value as of
the first Valuation Day we have receipt of the request for surrender or choice
of applicable payment choice, due proof of death and any required forms at our
Home Office.
Death Benefit at Death of Any Annuitant Before the Maturity Date
If the Annuitant dies before the Maturity Date, regardless of whether the
Annuitant is also an owner or joint owner, the amount of proceeds payable is
the death benefit. Upon receipt at our Home Office of due proof of the
Annuitant's death and all required forms (generally, due proof of death is a
certified copy of the death certificate or a certified copy of the decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death), a death benefit
will be paid in accordance with your instructions, subject to distribution
rules and termination of contract provisions discussed in the contract and
elsewhere in this prospectus.
The death benefit choices we offer are:
(1) the Basic Death Benefit;
(2) the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider Option;
(3) the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option;
(4) the Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option; and
(5) the Earnings Protector and Greater of Annual Step-Up and 5% Rollup Death
Benefit Rider Option.
We automatically provide the Basic Death Benefit to you. The death benefit
rider options are available to you for an additional charge and the death
benefit options must be elected at the time of application. You may elect the
Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider with Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime Income
Plus 2007, Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution at the
time of application. You may not elect any of the other optional death benefit
riders with Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007, Lifetime Income
Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution. You may elect the Earnings
Protector Death Benefit Rider with either the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit
Rider or the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider. You may not, however, elect the
Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider and the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider
together or in any combination. The Earnings Protector and Greater of Annual
Step-Up and 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider may not be elected with any other
death benefit rider.
The death benefit varies based on:
(1) the Annuitant's age on the date the contract is issued;
(2) the Annuitant's age on the date of his or her death;
(3) the number of contract years that elapse from the date the contract is
issued until the date of the Annuitant's death; and
(4) whether any premium taxes are due at the time the death benefit is paid.
Basic Death Benefit
The Basic Death Benefit available for all contracts issued is equal to the
greater of:
(a) premium payments adjusted for any partial surrenders and any applicable
premium taxes; and
(b) the Contract Value on the Valuation Day upon receipt of due proof of
death and all required forms at our Home Office.
Partial surrenders (including partial surrenders taken pursuant to the terms of
Lifetime Income Plus or Lifetime Income Plus 2007) will reduce the death
benefit proportionally by the same percentage that the partial surrender
(including any applicable surrender charges and any premium taxes assessed)
reduces the Contract Value.
Please refer to Appendix A for an example of the calculation of the Basic Death
Benefit.
105
Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider Option
The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider adds an extra feature to the Basic Death
Benefit. Under the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider, the amount of death
benefit proceeds we will pay upon receipt of due proof of death of the
Annuitant and all required forms at our Home Office will be the greater of:
. the Basic Death Benefit; and
. the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider Option described below.
The following is the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit if the Annuitant is age 80 or
younger on the date the contract is issued:
The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit on the Contract Date is the initial premium
payment. The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit will be reset on each contract
anniversary, up to and including the later of the fifth contract anniversary
and the contract anniversary next following or coincident with the 80th
birthday of the Annuitant and on the Valuation Day that we receive due proof of
death and all require forms at our Home Office. At each reset date, the Annual
Step-Up Death Benefit equals the greater of (a) and (b) where:
(a) is the Contract Value; and
(b) is the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit on the last reset date plus premium
payments made since the last reset date, adjusted for any partial
surrenders made and premium taxes paid since the last reset date.
Partial surrenders (including partial surrenders taken pursuant to the terms of
a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Rider) reduce the Annual
Step-Up Death Benefit proportionally by the same percentage that the partial
surrender (including any applicable surrender charges and any premium taxes
assessed) reduces the Contract Value.
The following is the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit if the Annuitant is older
than age 80 on the date the contract is issued:
The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit on the Contract Date is the initial premium
payment. The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit will be reset on each contract
anniversary, up to and including the contract anniversary next following or
coincident with the 85th birthday of the Annuitant and on the Valuation Day
that we receive due proof of death and all require forms at our Home Office. At
each reset date, the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit equals the greater of (a) and
(b) where:
(a) is the Contract Value; and
(b) is the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit on the last reset date plus premium
payments made since the last reset date, adjusted for any partial
surrenders made and premium taxes paid since the last reset date.
Partial surrenders (including partial surrenders taken pursuant to the terms of
a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Rider) reduce the Annual
Step-Up Death Benefit proportionally by the same percentage that the partial
surrender (including any applicable surrender charges and any premium taxes
assessed) reduces the Contract Value.
You may only elect the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Option Rider at the time of
application. Once elected, it may not be terminated and it will remain in
effect while this contract is in force until income payments begin. On the
Maturity Date, this rider and its corresponding charge will terminate.
The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Option Rider may not be available in all
states or in all markets. We charge an additional amount for this benefit. This
charge will not exceed an annual rate of 0.20% of your Contract Value at the
time of the deduction. See the "Fee Tables" provision of this prospectus for
additional information.
Please refer to Appendix A for an example of the calculation of the Annual
Step-Up Death Benefit Rider Option.
5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option
The 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider adds an extra feature to the Basic Death
Benefit. Under the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider, the amount of death benefit
proceeds we will pay upon receipt of due proof of death of the Annuitant and
all required forms at our Home Office will be the greater of:
. the Basic Death Benefit; and
. the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option described below.
The 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option is available only to contracts where
the Annuitant is age 75 or younger on the date the contract is issued.
The 5% Rollup Death Benefit on the Contract Date is the initial premium
payment. At the end of each Valuation Period after the Contract Date, the 5%
Rollup Death Benefit is equal to the lesser of (a) and (b) where:
(a) is 200% of premium payments; and
(b) is the Rollup Death Benefit at the end of the last Valuation Period
increased by a daily interest factor, equivalent to a 5% annual
effective interest rate, plus premium payments made during the current
Valuation Period and adjusted for any partial surrenders and premium
taxes paid during the current Valuation Period.
106
Partial surrenders taken each contract year, up to 5% of premium payments,
calculated at the time of the partial surrender, reduce the 5% Rollup Death
Benefit by the same amount that the partial surrender, including any surrender
charges any premium taxes paid, reduces the Contract Value. If partial
surrenders greater than 5% of premium payments are taken in any contract year,
the 5% Rollup Death Benefit is reduced proportionally for that partial
surrender and all future partial surrenders by the same percentage that the
partial surrender, including any surrender charges and any premium taxes paid,
reduces the Contract Value.
Partial surrenders may have unintended consequences to your 5% Rollup Death
Benefit. This benefit increases daily at a compounded rate of 5%. Because of
this, any partial surrenders in a contract year that exceed the accumulated
rollup interest, up to an amount equal to 5% of premium payments, will reduce
the death benefit amount below the value at the start of the contract year.
You may only elect the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Option Rider at the time of
application. Once elected, it may not be terminated and it will remain in
effect while this contract is in force until income payments begin. On the
Maturity Date, this rider and its corresponding charge will terminate.
The 5% Rollup Death Benefit Option Rider may not be available in all states or
in all markets. We charge an additional amount for this benefit. This charge
will not exceed an annual rate of 0.30% of your Contract Value at the time of
the deduction. See the "Fee Tables" provision of this prospectus for additional
information.
Please refer to Appendix A for an example of the calculation of the 5% Rollup
Death Benefit Rider Option.
Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option
The Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider adds an extra feature to your death
benefit. The Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider is available only to
contracts where the Annuitant is age 75 or younger on the date the contract is
issued.
The following is the Earnings Protector Death Benefit if the Annuitant is age
70 or younger on the date the contract is issued:
The Earnings Protector Death Benefit is equal to 40% of earnings which are
defined as (a) minus (b) where:
(a) is the Contract Value as of the first Valuation Day we have receipt of
due proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office; and
(b) is the sum of all premium payments paid and not previously surrendered.
The Earnings Protector Death Benefit cannot exceed 70% of premium payments
adjusted for partial surrenders. Premium payments, other than the initial
premium payment, paid within 12 months of the date of the Annuitant's death,
are not included in this calculation. The Earnings Protector Death Benefit will
never be less than zero.
The following is the Earnings Protector Death Benefit if the Annuitant is older
than age 70 on the date the contract is issued:
The Earnings Protector Death Benefit is equal to 25% of earnings which are
defined as (a) minus (b) where:
(a) is the Contract Value as of the first Valuation Day we have receipt of
due proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office; and
(b) is the sum of all premium payments paid and not previously surrendered.
The Earnings Protector Death Benefit cannot exceed 40% of premium payments paid
as adjusted for partial surrenders. Premium payments, other than the initial
premium payment, paid within 12 months of the date of the Annuitant's death,
are not included in this calculation. The Earnings Protector Death Benefit will
never be less than zero.
Under both age scenarios listed above, partial surrenders are taken first from
gain and then from premium payments made. For purposes of this rider, gain is
calculated as (a) plus (b) minus (c) minus (d), but not less than zero, where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day we receive your partial
surrender or total surrender request;
(b) is the total of any partial surrenders;
(c) is the total of premium payments paid; and
(d) is the total of any gain previously surrendered.
You may only elect the Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option at the
time of application. Once elected, it may not be terminated and it will remain
in effect while the contract is in force until income payments begin. On the
Maturity Date, this rider and its corresponding charge will terminate.
The Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option may not be available in all
states or in all markets. We charge an additional amount for this benefit. This
charge will not exceed an annual rate of 0.30% of your Contract Value at the
time of the deduction. See the "Fee Tables" provision of this prospectus for
additional information.

Please refer to Appendix A for an example of the calculation of the Earnings
Protector Death Benefit Rider Option.
There are important things you should consider before you purchase the Earnings
Protector Death Benefit Rider Option. These include:
. The Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option does not guarantee that
any amounts under the benefit will become payable at death. Market
declines resulting in your Contract Value being less than your premium
payments paid and not previously surrendered may result in no additional
amount being payable.
. Once you purchase the Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option, you
cannot terminate it. This means that regardless of any changes in your
circumstances, we will continue to assess a charge for the Earnings
Protector Death Benefit Rider Option.
. Please take advantage of the guidance of a qualified financial adviser in
evaluating the Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option, as well as
the other aspects of the contract.
The Earnings Protector and Greater of Annual Step-Up and 5% Rollup Death
Benefit Rider Option
The Earnings Protector and Greater of Annual Step-Up and 5% Rollup Death
Benefit Rider Option combines the Greater of the Annual Step-Up and 5% Rollup
Death Benefit Rider Option plus the Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider
Option. Under this rider option, the amount of death benefit proceeds we will
pay upon receipt of due proof of death of the Annuitant and all required forms
at our Home Office will be the greatest of:
. the Basic Death Benefit;
. the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider Option described above; and
. the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option described above; plus
. the Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option described above.
You may only elect the Earnings Protector and Greater of Annual Step-Up and 5%
Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option at the time of application. Once elected, it
may not be terminated and it will remain in effect while this contract is in
force until income payments begin. On the Maturity Date, this rider and its
corresponding charge will terminate.
The Earnings Protector and Greater of Annual Step-Up and 5% Rollup Death
Benefit Rider Option may not be available in all states or in all markets. We
charge an additional amount for this benefit. This charge will not exceed an
annual rate of 0.70% of your Contract Value at the time of the deduction. See
the "Fee Tables" provision of this prospectus for additional information.
Termination of Death Benefit Rider Options When Contract Assigned or Sold
Your death benefit rider options will terminate in the event that you assign or
sell this contract, unless your contract is assigned or sold pursuant to a
court order.
How to Claim Proceeds and/or Death Benefit Payments
At the death of:
(1) an owner or joint owner (or the Annuitant if any owner or joint owner is
a non-natural entity); or
(2) the Annuitant;
the person or entity first listed below who is alive or in existence on the
date of that death will become the designated beneficiary:
(1) owner or joint owner;
(2) primary beneficiary;
(3) contingent beneficiary;
(4) owner or joint owner's estate.
The designated beneficiary will be treated thereafter as the sole owner of the
contract. The designated beneficiary may choose one of the Payment Choices
described below, or a default Payment Choice will apply if no such election is
made. For purposes of this provision, if there is more than one primary
beneficiary named, each one will be treated separately with respect to their
portion of the contract. Thus, in cases where there are multiple designated
beneficiaries, once all required information is received, each designated
beneficiary will be allocated their share of the proceeds in accordance with
the terms of the contract and as specified by the owner. Then, each designated
beneficiary may elect one of the Payment Choices below or have the default
Payment Choice apply. If there is no primary beneficiary(ies) alive or in
existence at the time of the death, all proceeds will be then payable to any
named contingent beneficiary(ies).
We should be notified immediately by telephone or in writing upon the death of
an owner, joint owner or Annuitant. We have the right to request that any
notification of death given by telephone be immediately followed by written
notification. Upon notification, no additional premium payments will be
accepted (unless the designated beneficiary is the spouse of the
108
deceased and that spousal designated beneficiary has elected to continue the
contract). Upon such notification of death, we will transfer all assets in the
Separate Account to the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government
Money Market Fund until receipt of due proof of death and any required forms.
Due proof of death consists of a death certificate issued by a government
jurisdiction or a court of law. Any required forms can consist of information
necessary in order to pay any named designated beneficiary(ies) and any other
information necessary to process applicable proceeds.
Payment Choices: The designated beneficiary may elect the form in which the
proceeds will be paid from the following Payment Choices (and if no election is
made, the default Payment Choice described below will apply):
(1) receive the proceeds in a lump sum;
(2) receive the proceeds over a period of five years following the date of
death. At the end of the five year period, any remaining amount will be
distributed in a lump sum (if the designated beneficiary dies before all
payments have been distributed, the remaining proceeds will be paid to
the person or entity named by the designated beneficiary or his or her
estate if no person or entity is named);
(3) elect Optional Payment Plan (1) or (2) as described in the "Optional
Payment Plans" provision of this prospectus. If elected, payments must
commence no later than one year after the date of death. In addition, if
Optional Payment Plan (1) is chosen, the period certain cannot exceed
the designated beneficiary's life expectancy, and if Optional Payment
Plan (2) is chosen, the fixed period cannot exceed the designated
beneficiary's life expectancy;
(4) elect a "stretch" payment choice, as described in the "Stretch Payment
Choices" provision below;
(5) if the designated beneficiary is the spouse of a deceased owner, he or
she may continue the contract as stated in the "Distribution Rules"
provision; or
(6) if the designated beneficiary is an owner or joint owner who is a
natural person, he or she may continue the contract as stated in the
"Distribution Rules" provision.
If a designated beneficiary makes no election within 60 days following receipt
of due proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office, payments will
default to Payment Choice (2).
If your contract is a Qualified Contract, not all elections will satisfy
required minimum distribution rules. Note that effective for owners who die on
or after January 1, 2020, subject to certain exceptions, most non-spouse
designated beneficiaries must now complete death benefit distributions within
ten years of the owner's death in order to satisfy required minimum
distribution rules. Consult a tax adviser before making an election.
Stretch Payment Choices
The following payment choice is available to designated beneficiaries of
Non-Qualified Contracts:
A designated beneficiary of a Non-Qualified Contract may apply the death
proceeds of the contract to provide for an annual payment equal to the Minimum
Annual Income, described below, for the life expectancy of the designated
beneficiary. The first income payment must be made no later than 350 days after
the original owner's date of death. The income payment period must be a period
not exceeding the designated beneficiary's life expectancy. Payments will
continue annually on the distribution date until the death of the designated
beneficiary or the Contract Value is reduced to $0. Upon death of the
designated beneficiary, the person or entity named by the designated
beneficiary or, if no one is named, the designated beneficiary's estate may
receive the remaining Contract Value. The recipient may take the Contract Value
as a lump sum or continue to receive the annual payment on the distribution
date equal to the Minimum Annual Income, or until the Contract Value is reduced
to $0.
The Minimum Annual Income is the amount withdrawn each year to satisfy Section
72(s)(2)(B) of the Code. The Minimum Annual Income will be re-determined each
year for the designated beneficiary's life expectancy using the Single Life
Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 A-1 of the Income Tax Regulations, as amended.
After death, the Minimum Annual Income is calculated using the designated
beneficiary's remaining life expectancy. We may offer alternative calculations
of Minimum Annual Income based on amortization or annuitization calculations
methods described in guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service.
Special rules for this payment choice only:
. This payment choice cannot be selected if the Minimum Annual Income would
be less than $100.
. The designated beneficiary must elect a distribution date on which
payments will be made. The first distribution date must be no later than
350 days after the owner's date of death.
. Amounts paid to satisfy the Minimum Annual Income will not be subject to
surrender charges. Surrender charges will apply to amounts withdrawn above
the Minimum Annual Income.
. Optional living benefit and death benefit riders are not available with
this payment choice.
. Additional premium payments may not be added with this payment choice.
109
Under this payment choice, the contract will terminate upon payment of the
entire Contract Value.
The following payment choice is available to designated beneficiaries of
Qualified Contracts or any beneficiary receiving death proceeds from any other
individual retirement plan:
An inherited owner may apply death proceeds to provide for an annual payment
equal to the Minimum Annual Income, described below. For purposes of this
provision, an inherited owner is any designated beneficiary receiving death
proceeds from a Qualified Contract or any beneficiary receiving death proceeds
from any other individual retirement plan. A surviving spouse may elect to be
treated as an inherited owner in lieu of exercising spousal continuation. The
inherited owner will be named the Annuitant at election of the payment choice.
Payments under this payment choice will continue annually on the distribution
date selected by the inherited owner, subject to the special rules stated
below, until the death of the inherited owner or the Contract Value is reduced
to $0. Upon death of the inherited owner, the person or entity named by the
inherited owner or, if no one is named, the inherited owner's estate may
receive the remaining Contract Value. The recipient may take the Contract Value
as a lump sum or continue to receive the annual payment on the distribution
date equal to the Minimum Annual Income until the Contract Value is reduced to
$0.
The Minimum Annual Income is the amount withdrawn each year to satisfy Section
408(b)(3) of the Code. The Minimum Annual Income will be based on the
applicable distribution period for required minimum distributions after death,
as provided in Section 1.401(a)(9)-5 A-5 of the Income Tax Regulations.
Special rules for this payment choice only:
. This payment choice cannot be selected if the Minimum Annual Income would
be less than $100.
. The inherited owner must elect a distribution date on which payments will
be made. If the inherited owner is the surviving spouse of the original
IRA owner within the meaning of Section 401(a)(9)(B)(iv) of the Code, then
the first distribution date elected must be the later of either: (i)
December 15th of the year in which the deceased would have been age 70 1/2
or (ii) December 15th of the year following the original IRA owner's
death. If the inherited owner is not the surviving spouse of the original
IRA owner, then the first distribution date elected must be within 350
days from the date of death. If the surviving spouse dies before the first
distribution date, the first distribution date under this rider will be
determined by treating death of the surviving spouse as death of the
original IRA owner and the surviving spouse's designated beneficiary as
the inherited owner.
. Amounts paid to satisfy the Minimum Annual Income will not be subject to
surrender charges. Surrender charges will apply to amounts withdrawn above
the Minimum Annual Income.
. Optional living benefit and death benefit riders are not available with
this payment choice.
. Additional premium payments may not be added with this payment choice
This payment choice will not satisfy required minimum distribution rules for
designated beneficiaries other than "eligible designated beneficiaries" as
defined in Section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code. Consult a tax adviser before
making this payment choice.
Under this payment choice, the contract will terminate upon payment of the
entire Contract Value.
Spendthrift Provision. An owner may, by providing written notice to our Home
Office in a manner acceptable to the Company, choose the method of payment of
death proceeds under the contract by selecting any payment choice, including
any Optional Payment Plan, that a designated beneficiary may have chosen. A
designated beneficiary (other than the surviving spouse) cannot change the
payment choice that the owner has selected. The owner may also specify at the
time of electing an income payment option that any payments remaining to be
made at the owner's death cannot be commuted or assigned. While living, the
owner may revoke any such limitations on the rights of the designated
beneficiary by providing written notice of such revocation to our Home Office
in a manner acceptable to the Company. If the payment choice selected by the
owner does not apply to a designated beneficiary, the limitations imposed by
this paragraph shall not apply to such designated beneficiary. For example, a
payment choice based on an individual's life does not apply to the owner's
estate and the estate would be free to make its own payment choice as
designated beneficiary after the owner's death.
Distribution Rules
When Death Occurs Before the Maturity Date
The distribution rules below apply to Non-Qualified Contracts that are
generally treated as annuity contracts under the Code. These rules also apply
where federal tax law does not provide alternative distribution rules. These
rules do not apply to Qualified Contracts and, if alternative distribution
rules apply, contracts that do not qualify as annuity contracts under federal
tax law, and may not apply to contracts held by certain entities. For Qualified
Contracts, the required minimum distribution
110
provisions of the Code apply. The required minimum distribution rules are
generally specified in the endorsement, plan document, or other writing
establishing the plan or individual retirement arrangement. Note that effective
for owners who die on or after January 1, 2020, subject to certain exceptions,
most non-spouse designated beneficiaries must now complete death benefit
distributions within ten years of the owner's death in order to satisfy
required minimum distribution rules. See the "Tax Matters" provision of this
prospectus.
If the sole designated beneficiary is the spouse of the deceased, the spouse
may continue the contract as the new owner. If the deceased was also an
Annuitant, the spouse will automatically become the new sole Annuitant. As the
new named owner and Annuitant, the spouse may exercise all rights as stated in
the contract. Should the spouse remarry, the new spouse may not exercise this
provision at the death of the surviving spouse. If the spouse is one of
multiple designated beneficiaries, the spouse may only continue the contract
with the proportion allocated to him or her by the owner as stated on the
application or later in writing in a form acceptable to us.
If the designated beneficiary(ies) is not the spouse of the deceased, the
designated beneficiary(ies) may not continue the contract indefinitely. If
payment choice 1 or 2 is elected, the proceeds from the contract must be
distributed within five years of the date of death. If payment choice 3 is
elected (within 60 days following receipt of due proof of death and all
required forms at our Home Office), payments will begin within one year of the
date of the deceased owner's death and extend over the designated beneficiary's
life or a period not longer than the designated beneficiary's life expectancy.
If the designated beneficiary is an owner or joint owner, the owner (if the
owner is a natural person) may continue the contract. Contract Value for the
continued contract will be equal to the death benefit proceeds. If there is no
Joint Annuitant, the Owner will become the new sole Annuitant. If there is a
Joint Annuitant, the Joint Annuitant will become the sole Annuitant. The owner
may exercise all rights as stated in the contract before an Annuitant's death.
When Death Occurs On or After the Maturity Date
On or after the Maturity Date, if an owner, joint owner, Annuitant, or
designated beneficiary dies while the contract is in force, payments that are
already being made under the contract will be made at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution in effect at the time of death, notwithstanding any
other provision of the contract.
DEATH OF OWNER AND/OR ANNUITANT
The following death benefit provisions apply to contracts issued prior to May
1, 2003, or prior to the date state insurance authorities approve applicable
contract modifications, unless noted otherwise.
Death Benefit at Death of Any Annuitant Before the Maturity Date
If the Annuitant dies before the Maturity Date, regardless of whether the
Annuitant is also an owner or joint owner of the contract, the amount of
proceeds available for the designated beneficiary (as defined below) is the
death benefit. This death benefit may be referred to as the "Annual Estate
Protector/SM/" in our marketing materials. Upon receipt of due proof of the
Annuitant's death (generally, due proof is a certified copy of the death
certificate or a certified copy of the decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction as to the finding of death), a death benefit will be paid in
accordance with your instructions, subject to distribution rules and
termination of contract provisions discussed in the contract and elsewhere in
this prospectus.
The death benefit choices we offer are:
(1) the Basic Death Benefit;
(2) the Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit; and
(3) the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit.
We automatically provide the Basic Death Benefit to you. The Optional
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit and the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit are
available to you for an additional charge.
The death benefit varies based on:
(1) the Annuitant's age on the date the contract is issued;
(2) the Annuitant's age on the date of his or her death;
(3) the number of contract years that elapse from the date the contract is
issued until the date of the Annuitant's death; and
(4) whether any premium taxes are due at the time the death benefit is paid.
Basic Death Benefit
For contracts issued on or after the later of May 15, 2001, or the date on
which state insurance authorities approve applicable contract modifications,
but prior to May 1, 2003, or prior to the date state insurance authorities
approve applicable contract modifications, the Basic Death Benefit will be as
follows:
If the Annuitant is age 80 or younger on the date the contract is issued and he
or she dies before his or her first contract
111
anniversary, the Basic Death Benefit will be equal to the greater of:
(1) the Contract Value as of the date we receive due proof of death; and
(2) premium payments received, reduced for an adjustment due to any partial
surrenders (including any surrender charges and any premium taxes
assessed).
If the Annuitant is age 80 or younger on the date the contract is issued and he
or she dies after his or her first contract anniversary, the death benefit will
be equal to the greatest of:
(1) the greatest sum of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on any contract anniversary occurring prior to
the Annuitant's 80th birthday; and
(b) is premium payments received after such contract anniversary.
The sum of (a) and (b) above is reduced for an adjustment due to any
partial surrenders (including any surrender charges and premium taxes
assessed) taken since the applicable contract anniversary.
(2) the Contract Value as of the date we receive due proof of death; and
(3) premium payments received, reduced for an adjustment due to any partial
surrenders (including any surrender charges and premium taxes assessed).
If the Annuitant is age 81 or older on the date the contract is issued, the
death benefit will be equal to the Contract Value as of the date we receive due
proof of death.
We will adjust the death benefit for partial surrenders (including any
surrender charges and premium taxes assessed) in the same proportion as the
percentage that the partial surrender (including any surrender charges and
premium taxes assessed) reduces the Contract Value.
Please refer to Appendix A in this prospectus for an example of the Basic Death
Benefit calculation.
For contracts issued prior to May 15, 2001, or prior to the date on which state
insurance authorities approve applicable contract modifications, the Basic
Death Benefit will be as follows:
The death benefit equals the sum of (a) and (b) where:
(a) the Contract Value as of the date we receive due proof of death; and
(b) is the excess, if any, of the unadjusted death benefit as of the date of
the Annuitant's death over the Contract Value as of the date of the
Annuitant's death, with interest credited on that excess from the date
of the Annuitant's death to the date of distribution. The rate credited
may depend on applicable law or regulation. Otherwise, we will set it.
The unadjusted death benefit varies based on the Annuitant's age at the time we
issued the contract and on the Annuitant's age at the time of death.
If the Annuitant is age 80 or younger on the date the contract is issued and he
or she dies before his or her first contract anniversary, the unadjusted death
benefit will be equal to the greater of:
(1) the Contract Value as of the date of death; and
(2) premium payments received, reduced for an adjustment due to any partial
surrenders (including any surrender charges and premium taxes assessed).
If the Annuitant is age 80 or younger on the date the contract is issued and he
or she dies after his or her first contract anniversary, the unadjusted death
benefit will be equal to the greatest of:
(1) the greatest sum of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on any contract anniversary occurring prior to
the Annuitant's 80th birthday; and
(b) is premium payments received after such contract anniversary.
The sum of (a) and (b) above is reduced for an adjustment for any
partial surrenders (including any surrender charges and premium taxes
assessed) taken since the applicable contract anniversary.
(2) the Contract Value as of the date of death; and
(3) premium payments received, reduced for an adjustment due to any partial
surrenders (including any surrender charges and premium taxes assessed).
If the Annuitant is age 81 or older on the date the contract is issued, the
unadjusted death benefit will be equal to the Contract Value as of the date of
death.
We will adjust the death benefit for partial surrenders in (including any
surrender charges and premium taxes assessed) the same proportion as the
percentage that the partial surrender (including any surrender charges and
premium taxes assessed) reduces the Contract Value.
Please refer to Appendix A in this prospectus for an example of the Basic Death
Benefit calculation.
112
Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is available to contracts with Annuitants
age 75 or younger at the time the contract is issued. If the owner elects the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit at the time of application, upon the death of
the Annuitant, we will pay to the designated beneficiary, the greater of:
(1) the Basic Death Benefit; and
(2) the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit.
The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit may also be referenced in our marketing
materials as the "Six Percent EstateProtector/SM/."
If the Annuitant dies on the first Valuation Day, the Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit will be equal to the premium payments received.
If the Annuitant dies after the first Valuation Day, then at the end of each
Valuation Period until the contract anniversary on which the Annuitant attains
age 80, the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit equals the lesser of (a) and (b),
where:
(a) is the total of all premium payments we receive, multiplied by two,
adjusted for any partial surrenders taken prior to or during that
Valuation Period; and
(b) is the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit of the preceding Valuation
Period, with assets in the Subaccounts increased by an effective annual
rate of 6% (an "increase factor"); this does not include assets
allocated to the Subaccount investing in the available Goldman Sachs
Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund, plus any
additional premium payments we received during the current Valuation
Period, adjusted for any partial surrenders taken during the current
Valuation period.
We will adjust the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit for partial surrenders
proportionally by the same percentage that the partial surrender (including any
applicable surrender charges and premium taxes assessed) reduces the Contract
Value.
For assets in the Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance
Trust -- Government Money Market Fund, the increase factor is equal to the
lesser of:
(1) the net investment factor of the Subaccount for Valuation Period, minus
one; and
(2) a factor for the Valuation Period equivalent to an effective annual rate
of 6%.
For assets allocated to the Guarantee Account, the increase factor is equal to
the lesser of:
(1) the factor for the Valuation Period equivalent to the credited rate(s)
applicable to such allocations; and
(2) a factor for the Valuation Period equivalent to an effective annual rate
of 6%.
After the Annuitant attains age 80, the increase factor will be zero (0). The
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is effective on the Contract Date (unless
another effective date is shown on the contract data page) and will remain in
effect while the contract is in force and before income payments begin, or
until the contract anniversary following the date we receive your written
request to terminate the benefit. If we receive your request to terminate the
benefit within 30 days following any contract anniversary, we will terminate
the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit as of that contract anniversary.
We charge you for the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. We deduct this charge
against the Contract Value at each contract anniversary after the first and at
the time you fully surrender the contract. At full surrender, we will charge
you a pro-rata portion of the annual charge. Currently, this charge is equal to
an annual rate of 0.25% of your prior contract year's average Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit. We guarantee that this charge will not exceed an annual
rate of 0.35% of your prior contract year's average Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit. The rate charged to your contract will be fixed at the time your
contract is issued. See the "Charge for the Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit" provision of this prospectus.
The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit option may not be available in all states
or markets.
Please refer to Appendix A for an example of the Optional Guaranteed Minimum
Death Benefit calculation.
Optional Enhanced Death Benefit
The Optional Enhanced Death Benefit (which may be referred to as "Earnings
Protector" in our marketing materials) adds an extra feature to our Basic Death
Benefit and, if applicable, the Optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit.
You may only elect the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit at the time of
application. Once elected, the benefit will remain in effect while your
contract is in force until income payments begin. You cannot otherwise
terminate this benefit.
We charge you an additional amount for the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit.
Currently, this amount is an annual rate of 0.20% of the average of:
(1) your Contract Value at the beginning of the previous contract year; and
(2) your Contract Value at the end of the previous contract year.
The charge for the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit is taken on each contract
anniversary. We guarantee that this charge will not exceed an annual rate of
0.35% of your average Contract
113
Value, as described above. The rate that applies to your contract will be fixed
at issue. See the "Charge for the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit" provision of
this prospectus.
The Optional Enhanced Death Benefit may not be available in all states or
markets. In addition, to be eligible for this rider, the Annuitant cannot be
older than age 75 at the time the contract is issued unless we approve a
different age.
The Optional Enhanced Death Benefit varies based on the age of the Annuitant at
issue. Your optional Enhanced Death Benefit will never be less than zero.
If the Annuitant is age 70 or younger at the date the contract is issued, the
Optional Enhanced Death Benefit equals 40% of (a) minus (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value as of the date we receive due proof of death; and
(b) premiums paid, not previously surrendered.
This death benefit cannot exceed 70% of premiums paid adjusted for partial
surrenders. Premiums, other than the initial premium, paid within 12 months of
death are not included in this calculation.
If the Annuitant is older than age 70 at the time the contract is issued, the
Optional Enhanced Death Benefit equals 25% of (a) minus (b), where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the date we receive due proof of death; and
(b) premiums paid, not previously surrendered.
This death benefit cannot exceed 40% of premiums paid, adjusted for partial
surrenders. Premiums, other than the initial premium, paid within 12 months of
death are not included in this calculation.
Under both age scenarios listed above, we take partial surrenders first from
gain and then from premiums paid. For purposes of this benefit, we calculate
gain as (a) plus (b) minus (c) minus (d), but not less than zero, where:
(a) is the Contract Value on the date we receive your partial surrender
request;
(b) is the total of any partial surrenders, excluding surrender charges,
previously taken;
(c) is the total of premiums paid; and
(d) is the total of any gain previously surrendered.
Please refer to Appendix A for an example of the Optional Enhanced Death
Benefit calculation.
There are important things you should consider before you purchase the Optional
Enhanced Death Benefit. These include:
. The Optional Enhanced Death Benefit does not guarantee that any amounts
under the benefit will become payable at death. Market declines resulting
in your Contract Value being less than your premiums paid and not
previously surrendered may result in no Enhanced Death Benefit being
payable.
. Once you purchase the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit, you cannot
terminate it. This means that regardless of any changes in your
circumstances, we will continue to assess a charge for the Optional
Enhanced Death Benefit.
. Please take advantage of the guidance of a qualified financial adviser in
evaluating the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit option, as well as the
other aspects of the contract.
When We Calculate the Death Benefit
We will calculate the Basic Death Benefit, the Optional Guaranteed Minimum
Death Benefit, and Optional Enhanced Death Benefit on the date we receive due
proof of death at our Home Office. Until we receive complete written
instructions satisfactory to us from the beneficiary, the assets will remain
allocated to the Separate Account and/or the Guarantee Account, according to
your last instructions. This means that the calculated death benefit will
fluctuate with the performance of the Subaccounts in which you are invested.
Death of an Owner or Joint Owner Before the Maturity Date
In certain circumstances, federal tax law requires that distributions be made
under this contract upon the first death of:
. an owner or joint owner (or the Annuitant if any owner is a non-natural
entity); or
. the Annuitant.
The discussion below describes the methods available for distributing the value
of the contract upon death.
At the death of any owner (or Annuitant, if the owner is a non-natural entity),
the person or entity first listed below who is alive or in existence on the
date of that death will become the designated beneficiary:
(1) owner or joint owner;
(2) primary beneficiary;
(3) contingent beneficiary; or
(4) owner's estate.
114
We then will treat the designated beneficiary as the sole owner of the
contract. If there is more than one designated beneficiary, we will treat each
one separately in applying the tax law's rules described below.
Distribution Rules: Distributions required by federal tax law differ depending
on whether the designated beneficiary is the spouse of the deceased owner (or
the spouse of the deceased Annuitant, if the contract is owned by a non-natural
entity).
. Spouses -- If the designated beneficiary is the spouse of the deceased,
the spouse may continue the contract as the new owner. If the deceased was
the Annuitant, and there was no surviving contingent Annuitant, the spouse
will automatically become the new Annuitant. At the death of the spouse,
this provision may not be used again, even if the spouse remarries. In
such case, the entire interest in the contract will be paid within 5 years
of such spouse's death to the beneficiary named by the spouse. If no
beneficiary is named, such payment will be made to the spouse's estate.
The amount payable will be equal to the death benefit on the date we
receive due proof of the Annuitant's death. Any increase in the Contract
Value will be allocated to the Subaccounts and/or the Guarantee Account
using the premium allocation in effect at that time. Any death benefit
payable subsequently (at the death of the new Annuitant) will be
calculated as if the spouse had purchased a contract for the new Contract
Value on the date we received due proof of death. Any death benefit will
be based on the new Annuitant's age as of the date we receive due proof of
death of the original owner, rather than the age of the previously
deceased Annuitant. All other provisions will continue as if the spouse
had purchased the contract on the original Contract Date.
. Non-Spouses -- If the designated beneficiary is not the spouse of the
deceased person, this contract cannot be continued in force indefinitely.
Instead, upon the death of any owner (or Annuitant, if the owner is a
non-natural entity), payments must be made to (or for the benefit of) the
designated beneficiary under one of the following payment choices:
(1) receive the Surrender Value in one lump sum payment upon receipt of
due proof of death (see the "Requesting Payments" provision of this
prospectus);
(2) receive the Surrender Value at any time during the five year period
following the date of death. At the end of the five year period, we
will pay in a lump sum payment any Surrender Value still remaining;
(3) apply the Surrender Value to provide a monthly income benefit under
Optional Payment Plan 1 or 2. The first monthly income benefit
payment must be made no later than one year after the date of death.
Also, the monthly income benefit payment period must be either the
lifetime of the designated beneficiary or a period not exceeding the
designated beneficiary's life expectancy; or.
(4) elect a "stretch" payment choice, as described in the "Stretch
Payment Choices" provision below.
If your contract is a Qualified Contract, not all elections will satisfy
required minimum distribution rules. Note that effective for owners who die on
or after January 1, 2020, subject to certain exceptions, most non-spouse
designated beneficiaries must now complete death benefit distributions within
ten years of the owner's death in order to satisfy required minimum
distribution rules. Consult a tax adviser before making an election.
Stretch Payment Choices
The following payment choice is available to designated beneficiaries of
Non-Qualified Contracts:
A designated beneficiary of a Non-Qualified Contract may apply the death
proceeds of the contract to provide for an annual payment equal to the Minimum
Annual Income, described below, for the life expectancy of the designated
beneficiary. The first income payment must be made no later than 350 days after
the original owner's date of death. The income payment period must be a period
not exceeding the designated beneficiary's life expectancy. Payments will
continue annually on the distribution date until the death of the designated
beneficiary or the Contract Value is reduced to $0. Upon death of the
designated beneficiary, the person or entity named by the designated
beneficiary or, if no one is named, the designated beneficiary's estate may
receive the remaining Contract Value. The recipient may take the Contract Value
as a lump sum or continue to receive the annual payment on the distribution
date equal to the Minimum Annual Income, or until the Contract Value is reduced
to $0.
The Minimum Annual Income is the amount withdrawn each year to satisfy Section
72(s)(2)(B) of the Code. The Minimum Annual Income will be re-determined each
year for the designated beneficiary's life expectancy using the Single Life
Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 A-1 of the Income Tax Regulations, as amended.
After death, the Minimum Annual Income is calculated using the designated
beneficiary's remaining life expectancy. We may offer alternative calculations
of Minimum Annual Income based on amortization or annuitization calculations
methods described in guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service.
Special rules for this payment choice only:
. This payment choice cannot be selected if the Minimum Annual Income would
be less than $100.
115
. The designated beneficiary must elect a distribution date on which
payments will be made. The first distribution date must be no later than
350 days after the owner's date of death.
. Amounts paid to satisfy the Minimum Annual Income will not be subject to
surrender charges. Surrender charges will apply to amounts withdrawn above
the Minimum Annual Income.
. Optional living benefit and death benefit riders are not available with
this payment choice.
. Additional premium payments may not be added with this payment choice.
Under this payment choice, the contract will terminate upon payment of the
entire Contract Value.
The following payment choice is available to designated beneficiaries of
Qualified Contracts or any beneficiary receiving death proceeds from any other
individual retirement plan:
An inherited owner may apply death proceeds to provide for an annual payment
equal to the Minimum Annual Income, described below. For purposes of this
provision, an inherited owner is any designated beneficiary receiving death
proceeds from a Qualified Contract or any beneficiary receiving death proceeds
from any other individual retirement plan. A surviving spouse may elect to be
treated as an inherited owner in lieu of exercising spousal continuation. The
inherited owner will be named the Annuitant at election of the payment choice.
Payments under this payment choice will continue annually on the distribution
date selected by the inherited owner, subject to the special rules stated
below, until the death of the inherited owner or the Contract Value is reduced
to $0. Upon death of the inherited owner, the person or entity named by the
inherited owner or, if no one is named, the inherited owner's estate may
receive the remaining Contract Value. The recipient may take the Contract Value
as a lump sum or continue to receive the annual payment on the distribution
date equal to the Minimum Annual Income until the Contract Value is reduced to
$0.
The Minimum Annual Income is the amount withdrawn each year to satisfy Section
408(b)(3) of the Code. The Minimum Annual Income will be based on the
applicable distribution period for required minimum distributions after death,
as provided in Section 1.401(a)(9)-5 A-5 of the Income Tax Regulations.
Special rules for this payment choice only:
. This payment choice cannot be selected if the Minimum Annual Income would
be less than $100.
. The inherited owner must elect a distribution date on which payments will
be made. If the inherited owner is the surviving spouse of the original
IRA owner within the meaning of Section 401(a)(9)(B)(iv) of the Code, then
the first distribution date elected must be the later of either: (i)
December 15th of the year in which the deceased would have been age 70 1/2
or (ii) December 15th of the year following the original IRA owner's
death. If the inherited owner is not the surviving spouse of the original
IRA owner, then the first distribution date elected must be within 350
days from the date of death. If the surviving spouse dies before the first
distribution date, the first distribution date under this rider will be
determined by treating death of the surviving spouse as death of the
original IRA owner and the surviving spouse's designated beneficiary as
the inherited owner.
. Amounts paid to satisfy the Minimum Annual Income will not be subject to
surrender charges. Surrender charges will apply to amounts withdrawn above
the Minimum Annual Income.
. Optional living benefit and death benefit riders are not available with
this payment choice.
. Additional premium payments may not be added with this payment choice
This payment choice will not satisfy required minimum distribution rules for
designated beneficiaries other than "eligible designated beneficiaries" as
defined in Section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code. Consult a tax adviser before
making this payment choice.
Under this payment choice, the contract will terminate upon payment of the
entire Contract Value.
If no choice is made by the designated beneficiary within 30 days following
receipt of due proof of death, we will pay the Surrender Value within 5 years
of the date of death. Due proof of death must be provided within 90 days of the
date of death. We will not accept any premium payments after the non-spouse's
death. If the designated beneficiary dies before we distributed the entire
Surrender Value, we will pay in a lump sum payment of any Surrender Value still
remaining to the person named by the designated beneficiary. If no person is so
named, we will pay the designated beneficiary's estate.
Under payment choices 1 or 2, the contract will terminate upon payment of the
entire Surrender Value. Under payment choice 3, this contract will terminate
when we apply the Surrender Value to provide a monthly income benefit.
Spendthrift Provision. An owner may, by providing written notice to our Home
Office in a manner acceptable to the Company, choose the method of payment of
death proceeds under the contract by selecting any payment choice, including
any Optional Payment Plan, that a designated beneficiary may
116
have chosen. A designated beneficiary (other than the surviving spouse) cannot
change the payment choice that the owner has selected. The owner may also
specify at the time of electing an income payment option that any payments
remaining to be made at the owner's death cannot be commuted or assigned.
While living, the owner may revoke any such limitations on the rights of the
designated beneficiary by providing written notice of such revocation to our
Home Office in a manner acceptable to the Company. If the payment choice
selected by the owner does not apply to a designated beneficiary, the
limitations imposed by this paragraph shall not apply to such designated
beneficiary. For example, a payment choice based on an individual's life does
not apply to the owner's estate and the estate would be free to make its own
payment choice as designated beneficiary after the owner's death.
Amount of the proceeds: The amount of proceeds we will pay will, in part, vary
based on the person who dies, as shown below:
Amount of
Person who died Proceeds Paid
--------------------------------------------
Owner or Joint Owner Surrender Value
(who is not the Annuitant)
--------------------------------------------
Owner or Joint Owner Death Benefit
(who is the Annuitant)
--------------------------------------------
Annuitant Death Benefit
--------------------------------------------
Upon receipt of due proof of death, the designated beneficiary will instruct us
how to treat the proceeds subject to the distribution rules discussed above.
Death of an Owner, Joint Owner, or Annuitant On or After the Maturity Date
On or after the Maturity Date, if an owner, joint owner, Annuitant or
designated beneficiary dies while the contract is in force, payments that are
already being made under the contract will be made at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution in effect at the time of death, notwithstanding any
other provision in the contract.
INCOME PAYMENTS
The Maturity Date is the date income payments begin under the contract,
provided the Annuitant is still living on that date. The Maturity Date must be
a date at least thirteen months from the date the contract is issued, unless
you elect to take income payments pursuant to Payment Optimizer Plus. If
Guaranteed Income Advantage is elected, income payments may begin on a
different date under the terms of the rider. See the "Guaranteed Income
Advantage" and "Payment Optimizer Plus" sections of this provision.
The owner selects the contract's initial Maturity Date at issue. Thereafter,
until income payments begin, the owner may elect to extend the Maturity Date in
one-year increments, so long as the new Maturity Date is not a date beyond the
latest permitted Maturity Date. The latest Maturity Date we currently permit
may not be a date beyond the younger Annuitant's 90th birthday, unless we
consent to a later date. We reserve the right to discontinue to allow the
deferral of the Maturity Date at any time and without prior notice. Any consent
for a new Maturity Date will be provided on a non-discriminatory basis.
An owner may request to change the Maturity Date by sending written notice to
our Home Office prior to the Maturity Date then in effect. If you change the
Maturity Date, the Maturity Date will mean the new Maturity Date selected,
provided such Maturity Date is not a date beyond the latest permitted Maturity
Date. If income payments have not commenced upon reaching the latest permitted
Maturity Date, we will begin making payments to the named payee. In this
circumstance: (i) if Lifetime Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007, Lifetime
Income Plus 2008 or Lifetime Income Plus Solution applies, income payments will
be made pursuant to Optional Payment Plan 6, Fixed Income for Life; (ii) if
Guaranteed Income Advantage applies, income payments will be made in the form
of Life Income with a 10 Year Period Certain; or (iii) if Payment Optimizer
Plus applies, income payments will be made in the form of a Life Income. If,
however, at the latest permitted Maturity Date these riders do not apply,
income payments will be made in the form of a Life Income with a 10 Year Period
Certain.
A Maturity Date that occurs or is scheduled to occur at an advanced age (e.g.,
past age 85) may, in certain circumstances, have adverse income tax
consequences. See the "Tax Matters" provision of this prospectus. Contracts
issued to qualified retirement plans provide for income payments to start on
the date and under the option specified by the plan.
We will pay a monthly income benefit to the owner beginning on the Maturity
Date provided the Annuitant is still living. Unless you have elected Payment
Optimizer Plus, we will pay the monthly income benefit in the form of Life
Income with 10 Years Certain plan with variable payments, using the gender
(where appropriate) and settlement age of the Annuitant instead of the payee,
unless you make another election as described below. Payments made pursuant to
one of these plans are not redeemable. If you elected Payment Optimizer Plus,
we will pay monthly income over the life of the Annuitant(s). As described in
your contract, the settlement age may be less than the Annuitant's age. This
means payments may be lower than they would have been without the adjustment.
You may also choose to receive Surrender Value of your contract on the date
immediately preceding the Maturity Date in a lump sum, in which case we will
cancel the contract. See the "Requesting Payments" provision of this prospectus.
117
Payments will continue for the life of the Annuitant under the Life Income with
10 Years Certain plan, if he or she lives longer than 10 years. If the
Annuitant dies before the end of 10 years, we will discount the remaining
payments for the 10 year period at the same rate used to calculate the monthly
income payment. If the remaining payments are variable income payments, we will
assume the amount of each payment that we discount equals the payment amount on
the date we receive due proof of death. We will pay this discounted amount in a
lump sum.
The contract provides optional forms of annuity payments ("Optional Payment
Plans"), each of which is payable on a fixed basis. Optional Payment Plan 1 and
Optional Payment Plan 5 also are available on a variable basis.
If you elect fixed income payments, the guaranteed amount payable will earn
interest at a minimum rate of 3% compounded yearly. We may increase the
interest rate which will increase the amount we pay to you or the payee.
If you elect variable income payments, the dollar amount of the first variable
income payment will depend on the annuity purchase rates described in your
contract for the Optional Payment Plan you choose. These rates vary based on
the Annuitant's settlement age and if applicable, gender, upon the settlement
age and gender of a second person you designate (if applicable). Under such
tables, the longer the life expectancy of the Annuitant or the longer the
period for which we guarantee to make payments under the option, the smaller
the amount the first variable income payment will be. After your first income
payment, the dollar amount of your income payments will vary based on the
investment performance of the Subaccount(s) in which you invest and the
contract's assumed interest rate.
The assumed interest rate is an assumption we make regarding the investment
performance of the Portfolios you select. This rate is simply the total return,
after expenses, you need to keep your variable income payments level. We assume
an effective annual rate of 3%. This means that if the annualized investment
performance, after expenses, of your Subaccounts, measured between the day that
the last payment was made and the day on which we are calculating the new
payment, is less than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable income
payment will decrease. Conversely, if the annualized investment performance,
after expenses, of your Subaccounts, measured between the day that the last
payment was made and the day on which we are calculating the new payment, is
greater than 3%, then the dollar amount of your income payment will increase.
We will make income payments monthly unless you elect to receive payments
quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Under the monthly income benefit and all
of the Optional Payment Plans, if any payment made more frequently than
annually would be or becomes less than $100, we reserve the right to reduce the
frequency of payments to an interval that would result in each payment being at
least $100. If the annual payment payable at maturity is less than $20, we will
pay the Surrender Value in a lump sum. See the "Requesting Payments" provision
of this prospectus. Upon making such a payment, we will have no future
obligation under the contract.
The amount of your income payments will depend on four things:
. your Surrender Value on the Valuation Day immediately preceding the
Maturity Date;
. the settlement age on the Maturity Date, and if applicable, the gender of
the Annuitant;
. the specific payment plan you choose; and
. if you elect variable income payments, the investment performance of the
Portfolios selected.
As provided in your contract, we may adjust the age used to determine income
payments, and we may deduct premium taxes from your payments.
Optional Payment Plans
The following Optional Payment Plans are available under the contract, unless
you have fully annuitized under Guaranteed Income Advantage or Payment
Optimizer Plus:
Optional Payment Plan 1 -- Life Income with Period Certain. This option
guarantees periodic monthly payments for the lifetime of the payee with a
minimum number of years of payments. If the payee lives longer than the
minimum period, payments will continue for his or her life. The minimum
period can be 10, 15, or 20 years. The payee selects the designated period.
If the payee dies during the minimum period, we will discount the amount of
the remaining guaranteed payments at the same rate used in calculating
income payments. We will pay the discounted amount in a lump sum to the
payee's estate, unless otherwise provided.
Optional Payment Plan 2 -- Income for a Fixed Period. This option provides
for periodic payments to be made for a fixed period not longer than 30
years. Payments can be made annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly.
If the payee dies, we will discount the amount of the remaining guaranteed
payments to the date of the payee's death at the same rate used in
calculating income payments. We will pay the discounted amount in a lump sum
to the payee's estate, unless otherwise provided.
Optional Payment Plan 3 -- Income of a Definite Amount. This option
provides periodic payments of a
118
definite amount to be paid. Payments can be made annually, semi-annually,
quarterly, or monthly. The amount paid each year must be at least $120 for
each $1,000 of proceeds. Payments will continue until the proceeds are
exhausted. The last payment will equal the amount of any unpaid proceeds. If
the payee dies, we will pay the amount of the remaining proceeds with earned
interest in a lump sum to the payee's estate, unless otherwise provided.
Optional Payment Plan 4 -- Interest Income. This option provides for
periodic payments of interest earned from the proceeds left with us.
Payments can be made annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly. If the
payee dies, we will pay the amount of remaining proceeds and any earned but
unpaid interest, in a lump sum to the payee's estate, unless otherwise
provided. This plan is not available to contracts issued as Qualified
Contracts.
Optional Payment Plan 5 -- Joint Life and Survivor Income. This option
provides for us to make monthly payments to two payees for a guaranteed
minimum of 10 years. Each payee must be at least 35 years old when payments
begin. Payments will continue as long as either payee is living. If both
payees die before the end of the minimum period, we will discount the amount
of the remaining payments for the 10 year period at the same rate used in
calculating income payments. We will pay the discounted amount in a lump sum
to the survivor's estate, unless otherwise provided.
Optional Payment Plan 6 -- Fixed Income for Life. This option provides for
us to make monthly payments of a fixed amount for the life of the Annuitant
or, if there are Joint Annuitants, the last surviving Annuitant. If Lifetime
Income Plus, Lifetime Income Plus 2007, Lifetime Income Plus 2008 or
Lifetime Income Plus Solution has been elected and the contract has reached
the latest permitted Maturity Date, the fixed amount payable annually will
be greater than or equal to the most recently calculated Withdrawal Limit.
If the last surviving Annuitant dies, no amount will be payable under this
option.
If the payee is not a natural person, our consent must be obtained before
selecting an Optional Payment Plan. Fixed income payments, if selected, will
begin on the date we receive due proof of the Annuitant's death, or on the
Maturity Date. Variable income payments will begin within seven days after the
date payments would begin under the corresponding fixed option. Payments under
Optional Payment Plan 4 (Interest Income) will begin at the end of the first
interest period after the date proceeds are otherwise payable.
All payments under Option Payment Plan 2 (Income for a Fixed Period), Optional
Payment Plan 3 (Income of a Definite Amount) and Optional Payment Plan 4
(Interest Income) may be redeemed by the payee upon written request to our Home
Office. Payments made under Optional Payment Plan 1 (Life Income with Period
Certain), Optional Payment Plan 5 (Joint Life and Survivor Income) and Optional
Payment Plan 6 (Fixed Income for Life) are not redeemable. If payments under
Optional Payment Plans 2, 3 or 4 are variable income payments, and a request
for redemption is received in good order, the payment will be made within seven
days in accordance with the "Surrenders and Partial Surrenders" provision. If
payments under Optional Payment Plan 2, Optional Payment Plan 3 or Optional
Payment 4 are fixed income payments, and a request for redemption is received
in good order, the payment will generally be made within seven days, however,
some states require us to reserve the right to defer payments from the
Guarantee Account for up to six months from the date we receive the request for
payment.
If your contract is a Qualified Contract, Optional Payment Plans 2 and 3 may
not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Optional Payment Plan 4 is not
available to contracts issued as Qualified Contracts. Optional Payment Plan 5
may not satisfy required distribution rules for all designated beneficiaries.
Consult a tax adviser before electing one of these options.
Variable Income Payments
The monthly amount of your first variable income payment will equal your
Contract Value as of the Maturity Date, less any premium taxes, multiplied by
the monthly payment rate for the payment plan you choose (at an assumed
interest rate of 3%), divided by 1,000. We determine subsequent payments based
on Annuity Units.
On the Maturity Date, we determine the number of Annuity Units for each
Subaccount. This number will not change unless you make a transfer. On the
Maturity Date, the number of Annuity Units for a Subaccount is the portion of
the first payment from that Subaccount divided by the Annuity Unit value for
that Subaccount on the day the first payment is due. Each subsequent variable
income payment will equal the sum of payments for each Subaccount. The payment
for a Subaccount is the number of Annuity Units for that Subaccount multiplied
by the Annuity Unit value for that Subaccount seven days before the monthly
anniversary of the Maturity Date.
119
Following the Maturity Date, the Annuity Unit value of each Subaccount for any
Valuation Period will equal the Annuity Unit value for the preceding Valuation
Period multiplied by the product of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the net investment factor for the Valuation Period for which we are
calculating the Annuity Unit value; and
(b) is an assumed interest rate factor equal to .99991902 raised to a power
equal to the number of days in the Valuation Period.
The assumed interest rate factor in (b) above is the daily equivalent of
dividing by one plus the assumed investment interest rate of 3%. We may offer a
plan that has a different assumed investment interest rate. If we do, the
assumed interest rate factor we use in (b) above would change.
If you have elected Payment Optimizer Plus, the assumed interest rate will be
4% and the assumed interest rate factor in (b) will equal .99989255 raised to a
power equal to the number of days in the Valuation Period.
Transfers After the Maturity Date
If we are making variable income payments, the payee may change the Subaccounts
from which we are making the payments three times each calendar year. If you
elect Payment Optimizer Plus, the benefits you receive under such rider may be
reduced if, after a transfer, your assets (Annuity Units) are not allocated in
accordance with the prescribed Investment Strategy. Transfers may not be made
if income payments are being received pursuant to the terms of Guaranteed
Income Advantage. The transfer will be effective as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which we receive written request at our Home Office. We reserve
the right to limit the number of transfers, if necessary, for the contract to
continue to be treated as an annuity under the Code. We also reserve the right
to refuse to execute any transfer if any of the Subaccounts that would be
affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of the
Portfolio in which the Subaccount invests or if the transfer would adversely
affect Annuity Unit values. If the number of Annuity Units remaining in a
Subaccount after a transfer is less than 1, we will transfer the remaining
balance in addition to the amount requested for the transfer. We will not allow
a transfer into any Subaccount unless the number of Annuity Units of that
Subaccount after the transfer is at least 1. The amount of the income payments
as of the date of the transfer will not be affected by the transfer. We will
not charge for transfers made after the Maturity Date.
We do not permit transfers between the Subaccounts and the Guarantee Account
after the Maturity Date. We also do not permit transfers in the Guarantee
Account from one interest rate guarantee period to another interest rate
guarantee period.
Guaranteed Income Advantage
Guaranteed Income Advantage provides a guaranteed income benefit that is based
on the amount of assets you invest in the GIS Subaccount(s). Under the rider,
you will receive a series of monthly income payments determined on the earlier
of the date you designate payments from the GIS Subaccount(s) to begin (the
"Income Start Date") or the date you annuitize the contract (the "Maturity
Date"). Each series of monthly income payments is referred to as a segment. The
guaranteed income benefit may be comprised of one or more segments. If you meet
the conditions of the rider, as discussed more fully below, the amount of your
monthly income payment, for each segment, will have a guaranteed income floor,
and the guaranteed income floor will not vary based on the market performance
of the Subaccounts in which your assets are allocated. There is an extra charge
for this rider.
You may not allocate premium payments or assets in your contract directly to
the GIS Subaccount(s). Payments to the GIS Subaccount(s) must be made through a
series of scheduled transfers. As discussed in the "Scheduled Transfers"
section below, scheduled transfers may be made in advance of their due date. In
other words, you will have the ability to "pre-pay" transfers into the GIS
Subaccount(s).
Because this contract is no longer offered and sold, Guaranteed Income
Advantage is no longer available to purchase under the contract.
Each segment has its own effective date, Income Start Date, series of scheduled
transfers, monthly income plan and guaranteed annual income factor. If you wish
to elect this rider, you must do so at the time of application. You may add
additional segments on any contract monthly anniversary for a maximum of five
segments, provided the Annuitant is age 70 or younger at the time the segment
is elected. We reserve the right to allow additional segments in the future.
Scheduled Transfers
The first scheduled transfer is made to the GIS Subaccount(s) as of the
effective date of the segment. Scheduled transfers if due will continue to be
made on each monthly anniversary of that date until the earlier of the Income
Start Date or the Maturity Date. Scheduled transfers may be made in advance of
the monthly anniversaries on which they become due. If any month ends before
the monthly anniversary or on a day that is not a Valuation Day, the next
Valuation Day will be treated as the monthly anniversary for that month.
120
Only scheduled transfers can be made into the GIS Subaccount(s). Premium
payments may not be made directly to the GIS Subaccount(s). Scheduled transfers
are made first to the GIS Subaccount(s) of the segment that has been in effect
for the longest period of time.
Scheduled transfers will first be made on a prorata basis from the Subaccounts
to which you have allocated assets, excluding the GIS Subaccount(s).
There is a minimum scheduled transfer of $100. If amounts available for
transfer on the date of the scheduled transfer are not enough to make the
scheduled transfer, that scheduled transfer and any future scheduled transfers
will not be made with respect to that segment. Your guaranteed income floor for
that segment will be based upon scheduled transfers made to that date.
Partial Surrenders and Transfers
You may take a partial surrender or make transfers from the GIS Subaccount(s)
at any time prior to the earlier of the Income Start Date or the Maturity Date.
Except for the annual contract maintenance charge and any transfer charge (if
applicable), any rider charge and contract charge not taken as an asset based
charge from the GIS Subaccount(s) will be treated as partial surrenders for
purposes of calculating the guaranteed income floor and scheduled transfers
made.
Once you take a partial surrender or make a transfer from a segment, you will
not be permitted to make any additional scheduled transfers to that segment.
Your guaranteed income floor will be adjusted to reflect the amount partially
surrendered or transferred by using a recalculation of scheduled transfers made
as described below.
After such partial surrender or transfer, the scheduled transfers made will
equal (a) multiplied by (b) divided by (c), where:
(a) is the scheduled transfers made prior to such partial surrender or
transfer;
(b) is the value of the applicable GIS Subaccount(s) after such partial
surrender or transfer; and
(c) is the value of the applicable GIS Subaccount(s) before such partial
surrender or transfer.
Unless you instruct otherwise, partial surrenders will first be deducted from
the Subaccounts in which you have allocated assets, excluding the GIS
Subaccount(s). These deductions will be taken on a prorata basis. Partial
surrenders will then be deducted from the GIS Subaccount(s) from the segment
that has been in effect for the shortest period of time.
Transfers from the GIS Subaccount(s) will be subject to the provisions stated
in the "Transfers" provision of this prospectus.
Monthly Income
You may elect to receive monthly income under this rider or you may elect to
transfer the value in the GIS Subaccount(s) to another investment option under
your contract and receive income payments. If you elect to transfer the value
in the GIS Subaccount(s) to another investment option, you will lose the
guaranteed income benefit for that segment.
On the Income Start Date, we will begin making monthly income payments in
accordance with the monthly income plan chosen by you. The Income Start Date
for the first segment is determined at application. The Income Start Date for
each additional segment is determined at the time that segment is added to the
contract. Once established, these Income Start Dates cannot be changed. For a
single Annuitant, monthly income will be based on a Life Income with a 10 Year
Period Certain plan. For Joint Annuitants, monthly income will be based on a
Joint Life and Survivor Income with a 10 Year Period Certain plan. Different
options may be elected prior to the effective date of the segment and must be
approved by us. Please note that all Optional Payment Plans listed may not be
available. See "Optional Payment Plans" in the "Income Payments" provision of
this prospectus for additional information on available payment options.
Once monthly income payments begin, we will allocate payments to the investment
options in which you have allocated assets at that time, excluding the GIS
Subaccount(s), unless you choose to have monthly income payments made directly
to you.
Monthly income is calculated as of the first Valuation Day of each annuity
year. If the first day of the annuity year does not begin on a Valuation Day,
payments will be calculated on the next succeeding Valuation Day. Monthly
income from the segment will not change from month to month during an annuity
year; however, if another segment begins monthly payments after payments have
already begun from other segments, your total monthly payments may increase due
to the fact payments are being made from multiple segments.
How Income Payments
are Calculated
Initial Income
Payment. The initial annual income amount under any applicable payment plan is
calculated by taking (a) multiplied by (b), divided by (c), where:
(a) is the annual income rate per $1,000 in the contract for the income
payment plan elected and the gender(s) and settlement age(s) of the
Annuitant(s) as shown in the rider as of the Income Start Date;
121
(b) is the value in the applicable GIS Subaccount(s) as of the Income Start
Date, less any applicable premium tax; and
(c) is $1,000.
Income rates, for purposes of Guaranteed Income Advantage, are based on the
Annuity 2000 Mortality Tables, using an assumed interest rate of 3.5%.
The initial monthly income is the greater of the level income amount and the
guaranteed income floor. We determine the level income amount by applying the
annual income amount to a 12 month, period certain, single payment immediate
annuity.
The guaranteed income floor is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by
(c), where:
(a) is the scheduled transfer;
(b) is the guaranteed annual income factor divided by 12; and
(c) is the number of scheduled transfers made, adjusted for partial
surrenders and transfers.
The guaranteed income floor is equal to (a) multiplied by (b), where:
(a) is the scheduled transfers made into the GIS Subaccount(s), adjusted for
partial surrenders and transfers; and
(b) is the guaranteed annual income factor divided by 12.
Subsequent Income Payments. Subsequent income payments are determined by
Annuity Units. The amount of any subsequent annual income amount may be greater
or less than the initial amount.
The number of Annuity Units is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the
initial annual income amount by the Annuity Unit values as of the Income Start
Date. Your number of Annuity Units under a particular segment remains fixed.
The dollar amount of each subsequent annual income amount is determined by
multiplying your number of Annuity Units by the Annuity Unit value as of the
Valuation Day each annuity year begins.
The number of Annuity Units for each Subaccount is determined by dividing the
portion of the initial annual income amount attributable to that Subaccount by
the Annuity Unit value for that Subaccount as of the Income Start Date. The
dollar amount of each subsequent annual income amount is the sum of the amounts
from each Subaccount. The amount is determined by multiplying your number of
Annuity Units in each Subaccount by the Annuity Unit value for that Subaccount
as of the Valuation Day each annuity year begins.
An adjustment account is established on the Income Start Date. The adjustment
account tracks the difference between the level income amount and the
guaranteed income floor when the level income amount is less than the
guaranteed income floor. You will not receive monthly income above the
guaranteed income floor unless future performance of the underlying
Subaccount(s) is sufficient to reduce the adjustment account to zero.
Therefore, poor long-term performance of the underlying Subaccount(s) may
result in monthly income equal to the guaranteed income floor, even if the
underlying Subaccount(s) performs well in a particular year. The value of the
adjustment account will be the greater of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is zero; and
(b) is 12 multiplied by the guaranteed income floor minus 12 multiplied by
the initial level income amount.
The actual monthly income in subsequent annuity years is the greater of (a) and
(b), where:
(a) is the subsequent level income amount minus any value in the adjustment
account as of the date the last monthly income was made divided by 12;
and
(b) is the guaranteed income floor.
For monthly income in subsequent annuity years, the value of the adjustment
account will be the greater of (a) and (b) where:
(a) is zero; and
(b) is the value of the adjustment account as of the date that the last
monthly income was made, plus 12 multiplied by the actual subsequent
monthly income, minus 12 multiplied by the subsequent level income
amount.
On the Income Start Date, if any monthly income payment would be $100 or less,
we reserve the right to reduce the frequency of transfers or payments to an
interval that would result in each amount being at least $100. If the annual
amount is less than $100, we will pay you the value in the applicable GIS
Subaccount as of the Income Start Date and that segment will terminate.
On the Maturity Date, no further scheduled transfers can be added to the GIS
Subaccount(s). On this date, monthly income will be included as part of income
payments in accordance with your income payment plan selected.
Death Provisions
The following provisions apply to any and all segments with regard to the death
of any Annuitant.
122
Special Distribution Rules When Death Occurs Before Income Start Date and
Maturity Date. For a surviving spouse who is an Annuitant and a designated
beneficiary, the following will apply:
(1) Upon notification of death:
(a) the value of all Subaccounts, excluding the value of the GIS
Subaccount(s), will be transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable
Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund; and
(b) scheduled transfers if due will continue to be made.
(2) If the surviving spouse elects to continue the contract, on receipt of
proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office:
(a) the death benefit under the contract will be allocated on a prorata
basis to the investment options in which assets are then allocated;
(b) all current segments will continue; and
(c) the surviving spouse may elect to fund new segments on a contract
monthly anniversary, if then eligible.
For a surviving spouse, who is the designated beneficiary of any portion of the
contract but not an Annuitant, the following will apply:
(1) Upon notification of death:
(a) the value of all Subaccounts, including the GIS Subaccount(s), will
be transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust --
Government Money Market Fund; and
(b) all existing segments will terminate.
(2) If the surviving spouse elects to continue the contract, on receipt of
proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office:
(a) we will allocate the death benefit under the contract on a prorata
basis to the investment options in which assets are then allocated;
and
(b) the surviving spouse may elect to fund new segments on a contract
monthly anniversary, if then eligible.
Special Distribution Rules When Death Occurs On or After Income Start Date and
Before Maturity Date. If any Annuitant dies on the Income Start Date, the
death benefit is reduced prorata by the same proportion that the value in the
GIS Subaccount(s) is to the total Contract Value.
If any Annuitant dies after the Income Start Date but before the Maturity Date,
proceeds will be paid under this rider, unless the surviving spouse continues
the contract. The amount of proceeds payable under this rider will be the
greater of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the commuted value of the remaining period certain of the guaranteed
income floor; and
(b) is the commuted value of the remaining period certain of the annual
income amount.
Commuted values will be calculated at a rate not greater than 1% above the rate
at which the payments and Annuity Units were calculated. We will calculate the
commuted values on the date that we receive proof of death and all required
forms at our Home Office.
For a surviving spouse who is an Annuitant and designated beneficiary, the
following will apply:
(1) Upon notification of death:
(a) the value of all Subaccounts, excluding the value of the GIS
Subaccount(s), will be transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable
Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund; and
(b) scheduled transfers if due will continue to be made.
(2) If the surviving spouse elects to continue the contract, on receipt of
proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office:
(a) the death benefit will be allocated on a prorata basis to the
investment options in which assets are then allocated including any
rider segments that are in effect prior to the Income Start Date;
(b) all current segments will continue; and
(c) the surviving spouse may elect to fund new segments on any contract
monthly anniversary, provided he or she meets the eligibility
requirements.
For a surviving spouse, who is the designated beneficiary of any portion of the
contract but not an Annuitant, the following will apply;
(1) Upon notification of death;
(a) all value of the Subaccounts will be transferred to the Goldman Sachs
Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund; and
(b) all existing segments not past the Income Start Date will terminate.
123
(2) If the surviving spouse elects to continue the contract, on receipt of
proof of death and all required forms at our Home Office:
(a) the death benefit will be allocated on a prorata basis to the
investment options in which assets are then allocated;
(b) any segment past its Income Start Date will continue any remaining
period certain payments; and
(c) the surviving spouse may elect to fund new segments on any contract
monthly anniversary, provided he or she meets the eligibility
requirements.
The surviving spouse will become the named designated Annuitant.
Other Contract Charges
Any rider and contract charges not taken on a daily basis will first be
deducted on a prorata basis from all Subaccounts, excluding the GIS
Subaccount(s). Any remaining charges will be deducted from the GIS
Subaccount(s) of the segments beginning with the segment that has been in
effect for the shortest period of time and that has not reached its Income
Start Date. Except for the annual contract maintenance charge and any transfer
charge (if applicable), any rider charge and contract charge not taken as an
asset based charge from the GIS Subaccount(s) will be treated as partial
surrenders for purposes of calculating the guaranteed income floor and
scheduled transfers made.
Termination of Rider
This rider will terminate on the contract anniversary following the first date
that there are no segments, unless you are eligible to buy a segment on that
date.
Ownership and Change of Ownership
On the date that the contract is assigned or sold, unless under an involuntary
assignment effected by legal process, all amounts in the GIS Subaccount(s) will
be transferred to the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government
Money Market Fund.
If you marry after the Contract Date, you may add your spouse as a Joint Owner
and Joint Annuitant or as a Joint Annuitant only, subject to our approval.
For purposes of this rider:
. a non-natural owner must name an Annuitant and may name a Joint Annuitant;
. a natural individual owner must also be an Annuitant;
. if there is only one natural owner, that owner may name his or her spouse
as a Joint Annuitant.
. Under federal tax law, all contract provisions relating to spousal
continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of
"spouse" under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex
marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized
under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic
partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages
under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal
law. Consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Civil union partners are not permitted to continue the contract without
taking required distributions upon the death of an owner. Therefore, even
if named a joint owner/Joint Annuitant, a civil union partner will have to
take required distributions upon the death of the other joint owner/Joint
Annuitant. See the "Distribution Rules" provision of this prospectus. If
this situation applies to you, you should consult a tax adviser.

Examples
The following example shows how Guaranteed Income Advantage works based on
hypothetical values. The example is for illustrative purposes only and is not
intended to depict investment performance of the contract and, therefore,
should not be relied upon in making a decision to invest in the rider or
contract.
The example assumes that an owner purchases a contract with a male Annuitant
age 60 at the time of issue and has elected a Life Income with 10 Years Certain
payment plan. In addition, the example assumes that:
(1) the owner purchases the contract for $96,000;
(2) a bonus credit of $4,800 (5% of $96,000) is applied to the contract;
(3) the owner makes no additional premium payments;
(4) the owner purchases only one segment;
(5) the contract, including the GIS Subaccount investing in shares of the
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. -- Total Return
V.I.S. Fund, earns a net return of 5%;
(6) the owner makes scheduled transfers of $840 at the first of every month
(for a total of $10,080 per year) for 10 years; and
(7) the owner annuitizes the GIS Subaccount at the end of the 10th year.

Tax Treatment of Guaranteed Income Advantage
Monthly income payments allocated to investment options under the contract and
other transfers to investment options are generally not subject to tax.
However, for purposes of reporting the taxable amount of withdrawals, income on
the contract is determined using the entire contract value, including the value
of any annuitized segment allocating monthly income payments to investment
options. You may not elect to have monthly income payments paid to you and then
later direct that they be allocated to investment options under the contract.
Monthly income payments from less than the entire Contract Value will not be
treated as withdrawals for federal income tax purposes, if certain conditions
are satisfied. To be treated as monthly income payments (instead of as a series
of withdrawals), income payments from less than the entire Contract Value must
be taken for one or more lives or a fixed period of at least 10 years. Lifetime
income with a period certain of any duration would qualify. In that case, a
pro-rata portion of your "investment in the contract" will be allocated to the
income payments. The tax treatment of such income payments is the same as that
for income payments received on or after the Maturity Date, as described below.
If monthly income payments are taken from less than the entire Contract Value
and you subsequently direct that they be allocated to investment options under
the contract, the tax treatment of payments before or after such allocation is
uncertain.
Monthly income payments you receive on or after the Maturity Date (i.e., from
the entire Contract Value) will be subject to tax as income payments. A portion
of each payment will be treated as nontaxable recovery of your "investment in
the contract" (see above) and the remainder will be taxed at ordinary income
tax rates. We will notify you annually of the taxable amount of your income
payments. If income payments cease because of the death of the Annuitant(s) and
before the total amount of the "investment in the contract" has been recovered,
the unrecovered amount generally will be deductible.
Persons intending to purchase Guaranteed Income Advantage in connection with a
qualified retirement plan should obtain advice from a tax adviser.
For further information on the tax treatment of partial surrenders and income
payments, see the "Tax Matters" provision below.
Payment Optimizer Plus
Payment Optimizer Plus provides for a guaranteed income benefit that is based
on the amount of premium payments you make to your contract. Please note that
we do not consider Bonus Credits as "premium payments" for purposes of the
contract and this rider. Therefore, any applicable Bonus Credit will not be
included in the benefit base. You will have to reset your benefit under the
terms of the rider to capture the Bonus Credit or any related earnings in the
benefit base. Under the rider, you will receive a series of monthly income
payments determined on the Maturity Date. If you meet the conditions of the
rider, as discussed more fully below, the amount of your monthly income payment
will have a guaranteed payment floor, and the guaranteed payment floor will not
vary based on the market performance of the Subaccounts in which your assets
are allocated. In addition, you will be eligible to receive at least the value
of your premium payments in monthly income or additional death proceeds, even
if your Contract Value reduces to zero. The rider includes an "immediate
annuitization" feature that provides you the opportunity to receive monthly
income payments within the first year of the contract. Under the rider, you
also may request to terminate your contract and rider at any time after the
Maturity Date and receive the commuted value of your income payments, minus a
commutation charge, in a lump sum, so long as the termination is after the
right to cancel period under your contract. These and other features of the
rider are more fully discussed below.
Please note that the commutation feature in Payment Optimizer Plus may not be
available in all states. Please review the features of Payment Optimizer Plus
available in the contract issued in your state before making a decision to
elect the rider.
Payment Optimizer Plus is not available for contracts issued after October 17,
2008.
There is an extra charge for this rider.
Investment Strategy
In order to receive the full benefit provided by this rider, you must invest
all premium payments and allocations in accordance with a prescribed Investment
Strategy. If you do not allocate all assets in accordance with a prescribed
Investment Strategy, your benefit will be reduced by 50%. Even if your benefit
is reduced, you will continue to pay the full amount charged for the rider.
Investment Strategies may change from time to time. You may allocate your
assets in accordance with your Investment Strategy prescribed at the time the
contract was issued, or in accordance with the Investment Strategy in effect at
the time you reset your benefit. Therefore, you may have assets allocated to an
Investment Strategy that is different than the Investment Strategy described in
this prospectus. Your ability to choose different Investment Strategies is
limited, as described below.
127
The Investment Strategy includes Designated Subaccounts and Asset Allocation
Model C. Under this Investment Strategy, contract owners may allocate assets to
either Asset Allocation Model C or to one or more Designated Subaccounts.
Contract owners may not allocate assets to Asset Allocation Model C and one or
more Designated Subaccounts. Contract owners, however, may elect to participate
in the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging program, which permits the owner to
systematically transfer a fixed dollar amount on a monthly basis for twelve
months from the Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable
Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund to one of the available
Investment Strategy options. The Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman
Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund is only
available as part of the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging Program. For more
information about Asset Allocation Model C, the Subaccounts comprising Asset
Allocation Model C and the Designated Subaccounts, and the Defined Dollar Cost
Averaging program, please see the "Subaccounts" and "Asset Allocation Program"
and "Defined Dollar Cost Averaging Program" provisions of this prospectus.
On a monthly basis, we will rebalance your Contract Value to the Subaccounts in
accordance with the percentages that you have chosen to invest in the
Designated Subaccounts or in accordance with the allocations that comprise
Asset Allocation Model C. In addition, we will also rebalance your Contract
Value on any Valuation Day after any transaction involving a withdrawal,
receipt of a premium payment or a transfer of Contract Value, unless you
instruct us otherwise. If you are participating in the Defined Dollar Cost
Averaging program, rebalancing will not affect the assets allocated to the
Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust
-- Government Money Market Fund.
Shares of a Portfolio may become unavailable under the contract for new premium
payments, transfers, and asset rebalancing. As a result, shares of a Portfolio
may also become unavailable under your Investment Strategy. Investment
Strategies may be modified to respond to such events by removing unavailable
Portfolios and adding new Portfolios as appropriate. Because such changes may
affect your allocation instructions, you will need to provide updated
allocation instructions to comply with the modified Investment Strategy. If you
do not provide updated allocation instructions, any subsequent premium payments
or transfers requesting payment to an unavailable Portfolio will be considered
not in good order. Periodic rebalancing to unavailable Portfolios will cease
and any imbalances in percentages due to lack of asset rebalancing will not
cause a reduction in your benefit.
If you request a transfer or send a subsequent premium payment with allocation
instructions to a Portfolio that is not part of the prescribed Investment
Strategy, we will honor your instructions. Please be aware, however, that your
total Contract Value will not be invested in accordance with the prescribed
Investment Strategy, and your benefit base will be reduced by 50%, resulting in
a reduction in your benefit.
You may elect to resume participation in the prescribed Investment Strategy at
your next available reset date, as described in the "Reset of Benefit Base"
provision below, provided we receive written notice of your election at our
Home Office at least 15 days prior to that date. If you elect to participate in
the Investment Strategy, your benefit base will be reset to your Contract Value
as of that date. At that time, the charge for this rider will also be reset.
The new charge, which may be higher than your previous charge, is guaranteed
not to exceed an annual rate of 1.25%.
The current Investment Strategy is as follows:
(1) owners may allocate assets to the following Designated Subaccounts:
AB Variable Products Series Fund, Inc. -- AB Balanced Wealth Strategy
Portfolio -- Class B;
AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) --
Invesco V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund -- Series II shares (formerly,
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund -- Series II Shares);
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;
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund -- VIP Balanced Portfolio --
Service Class 2;
Janus Aspen Series -- Janus Henderson Balanced Portfolio -- Service
Shares;
MFS(R) Variable Insurance Trust -- MFS(R) Total Return Series -- Service
Class Shares; and/or
State Street Variable Insurance Series Funds, Inc. -- Total Return
V.I.S. Fund -- Class 3 Shares;
OR
(2) owners may allocate assets to Asset Allocation Model C.
Contract owners may elect to participate in the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging
program when they apply for the contract. Defined Dollar Cost Averaging permits
the owner to systematically transfer a fixed dollar amount on a monthly basis
for twelve months from the Designated Subaccount investing in
128
the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money Market Fund to
one of the available Investment Strategy options. The Designated Subaccount
investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust -- Government Money
Market Fund is only available as part of the Defined Dollar Cost Averaging
program.
If, on the Maturity Date, you are allocating assets in accordance with the
prescribed Investment Strategy and you later choose to allocate the value of
Annuity Units without following the Investment Strategy, your income base will
be reduced by 50% and the benefits you are eligible to receive under the rider
will be reduced. However, if your benefit base was reduced due to not following
the Investment Strategy and then not reset before your Maturity Date, this
adjustment does not apply.
On a monthly basis, we will rebalance the value of Annuity Units to the
Subaccounts in accordance with the percentages that you have chosen for the
Designated Subaccounts or in accordance with the allocations that comprises
Asset Allocation Model C. If you are participating in the Defined Dollar Cost
Averaging program, rebalancing will not affect the assets allocated to the
Designated Subaccount investing in the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust
-- Government Money Market Fund.
We will not reduce your benefit base or income base if you are not following
the Investment Strategy due to a Portfolio liquidation or a Portfolio
dissolution and the assets are transferred from the liquidated or dissolved
Portfolio to another Portfolio.
Benefit Base and Income Base
Benefit base is used to calculate income base. Income base is used to calculate
the guaranteed amount of monthly income. Income base is also used to calculate
any additional death proceeds. If benefit base or income base is reduced, the
benefits you are eligible for under this rider also will be reduced.
The initial benefit base is equal to the sum of all premium payments received
on the Contract Date. The benefit base remains in effect until adjusted as
described below.
If you have allocated assets in accordance with the prescribed Investment
Strategy from the later of the Contract Date and the date on which benefit base
was reset, as described in the "Reset of Benefit Base" provision below, any
additional premium payments applied will be added to the benefit base as of the
prior Valuation Day.
Important Note. We reserve the right to exclude additional premium payments
from being applied to the benefit base. As a result, it is possible that you
would not be able to make subsequent premium payments after the initial premium
payment to take advantage of the benefits provided by Payment Optimizer Plus
that would be associated with such additional premium payments. For example,
since your benefit base would not be increased for such subsequent premium
payments, the monthly income payments associated with such premium payments
would not have a guaranteed payment floor and such premium payments would not
increase the income base for purposes of calculating the amount of any
additional death proceeds. In addition, if you make premium payments that are
not included in the calculation of your benefit base, you will pay a higher
rider charge to the extent that the premium payments increase the Contract
Value upon which the charge is imposed. Also, to the extent your Contract Value
is increased by such premium payments, you are less likely to realize any
benefit under Payment Optimizer Plus, because it is less likely that your
Contract Value will be less than the benefit base or income base, as
applicable. Bonus Credits will have a similar effect on your contract because
they increase Contract Value but do not adjust the benefit base when they are
applied to the contract. Before making premium payments that do not increase
the benefit base, you should consider that: (i) the guaranteed payment floor,
additional death proceeds, and other guarantees provided by this rider will not
reflect such premium payments or Bonus Credits; (ii) any such premium payments
or Bonus Credits make it less likely that you will receive any such benefits
even if your Contract Value has declined; and (iii) this rider may not make
sense for you if you intend to make premium payments that will not increase the
benefit amount.
If your benefit base was reduced due to not following the Investment Strategy
and then not reset, any additional premium payments applied will increase the
benefit base on the prior Valuation Day by 50% of the premium payment.
All withdrawals, including any surrender charges, reduce the benefit base. The
new benefit base is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) divided by (c), where:
(a) is the benefit base as of the prior Valuation Day, adjusted for any
additional premium payments received;
(b) is the Contract Value following the withdrawal; and
(c) is the Contract Value before the withdrawal.
On the Maturity Date, the income base is set equal to the benefit base. Any
withdrawal that occurs on the Maturity Date will be processed before benefit
base is converted to income base.
Reset of Benefit Base. If all of the Annuitants are ages 50 through 80, you
may choose to reset your benefit base on an annual anniversary of the Contract
Date that is at least 12 months after the later of the Contract Date and the
last reset date.
129
We must receive written notice of your election to reset your benefit base at
our Home Office at least 15 days prior to the reset date. If you do reset your
benefit base, as of that date, we will:
. reset the benefit base to your Contract Value;
. reset the charge for this rider. The new charge, which may be higher than
your previous charge, will never exceed 1.25% annually; and
. reset the Investment Strategy to the current Investment Strategy.
You may not reset your benefit base after the Maturity Date. If on any contract
anniversary any Annuitant is older than age 80, you may not reset your benefit
base. Because the Maturity Date is determined by when you begin taking income
payments, you should carefully consider when to start taking income payments if
you elected Payment Optimizer Plus. The longer you wait before beginning to
take income payments, the more opportunities you may have to reset the benefit
base and thereby potentially increase the amount of income payments. If you
delay starting to take income payments too long, however, you may limit the
number of years available for you to take income payments in the future (due to
life expectancy) and you may be paying for a benefit you are not using.
Systematic Resets. You may elect to reset your benefit base automatically on
an available contract anniversary (a "systematic reset"). If you have not
previously elected to systematically reset your benefit, or if your election
has terminated, we must receive written notice of your election to
systematically reset your benefit at our Home Office at least 15 days prior to
your next contract anniversary.
A systematic reset of your benefit base will occur when your contract value is
higher than the benefit base as of the available contract anniversary or, if
the contract anniversary is not a Valuation Day, as of the next Valuation Day.
By "available contract anniversary" we mean a contract anniversary on which you
are eligible to reset your benefit, as such requirements (age and otherwise)
are described herein.
Systematic resets will continue until and unless:
(a) the Investment Strategy is violated;
(b) the owner (or owners) submits a written request to our Home Office to
terminate systematic resets;
(c) income payments begin via annuitization;
(d) the Investment Strategy changes, allocations are affected, and we do not
receive confirmation from you to our Home Office of new allocations; or
(e) ownership changes.
Please note that a systematic reset will occur on an available contract
anniversary if contract value is even nominally higher than the benefit base
(e.g., as little as $1.00 higher) and, therefore, a systematic reset may not be
in your best interest because: (i) the charge for this rider may be higher than
your previous charge; and (ii) the Investment Strategy will be reset to the
current Investment Strategy (the Investment Strategy offered on the reset
date). Please carefully consider whether it is in your best interest to elect
to systematically reset your benefit base.
Monthly Income
The Maturity Date under this rider may be any Valuation Day after the first
Valuation Day under the Contract. Prior to the date that monthly income begins,
the Maturity Date may be changed to any Valuation Day after the first Valuation
Day under the Contract. On the Maturity Date, we will begin the payment process
for your monthly income payments. Monthly income will be paid to you over the
life of the Annuitant(s), unless you elect otherwise. Beginning on the Maturity
Date, monthly income will be calculated annually as of the first Valuation Day
of each annuity year. An annuity year is the one-year period beginning on the
Maturity Date or on the annual anniversary of the Maturity Date. If the first
day of an annuity year does not begin on a Valuation Day, the next Valuation
Day will be used in calculating the monthly income for that annuity year.
Monthly income will not vary during an annuity year. The amount may increase or
decrease from annuity year to annuity year.
How Income Payments are Calculated
Guaranteed Payment Floor. The guaranteed payment floor is the guaranteed
amount of each monthly income payment. The guaranteed payment floor is equal to
(a) multiplied by (b) divided by (c), where:
(a) is the income base;
(b) is the guaranteed payment floor percentage for the attained age of the
Annuitant for a single Annuitant contract or the attained age for
younger living Annuitant for a Joint Annuitant contract on the Maturity
Date (as specified in the contract); and
(c) is 12.
For purposes of this rider, the benefits provided under this rider, and the
rider change, once a contract is a Joint Annuitant contract, it will remain a
Joint Annuitant contract while the contract and rider are in effect.
Initial Monthly Income. The initial monthly income is the greater of the level
income amount and the guaranteed payment
130
floor. The annual income amount is used to determine the level income amount.
We determine the level income amount by applying the annual income amount to a
12 month, period certain, single payment immediate annuity.
The initial annual income amount is equal to (a) multiplied by (b), where:
(a) is the payment rate based upon the gender(s), when applicable, and
settlement age(s) of the Annuitant(s) as shown in the rider, the
Contract Value on the Valuation Day prior to the Maturity Date and the
income base as of the Maturity Date; and
(b) is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day prior to the Maturity Date
less any premium tax.
For purposes of this rider only, the payment rates are based on the Annuity
2000 Mortality Table, using an assumed interest rate of 4%. These annuity rates
may not be as favorable as the current rates we would use to calculate payments
under the "Life Income with Period Certain" annuity payment option available
under this contract on the Maturity Date, and your Contract Value on the
Maturity Date would be higher than under this rider because there would be no
associated rider charge. Accordingly, payments under such an annuity payment
option may be greater than payments under this rider. However, payments under
such an annuity payment option would not have a guaranteed payment floor. In
addition, you would not be guaranteed to be eligible to receive at least the
value of your premium payments in monthly income payments or additional death
proceeds even if your Contract Value reduces to zero, although payments under
life income with period certain annuity payment options may also provide
certain death proceeds. You should carefully consider which annuity payment
option is right for you.
Monthly Age Adjustment: The settlement age(s) is the Annuitant(s)'s age last
birthday on the date monthly income begins, minus an age adjustment from the
table below. The actual age adjustment may be less than the numbers shown.
Year Payments Begin Maximum
-------------------- Age
After Prior To Adjustment
--------------------
2005 2011 5
2010 2026 10
2025 -- 15
------------------------------
On the Maturity Date, if any monthly income payment would be $100 or less, we
reserve the right to reduce the frequency of payments to an interval that would
result in each amount being at least $100. If the annual payment would be less
than $100, we will pay the Contract Value on the Valuation Day prior to the
Maturity Date and the contract will terminate on the Maturity Date.
Subsequent Monthly Income. Subsequent annual income amounts are determined by
means of Annuity Units. The amount of any subsequent annual income amount may
be greater or less than the initial payment. We guarantee that each subsequent
payment will not be affected by variations in mortality experience from the
mortality assumptions on which the first payment is based. The number of
Annuity Units will be determined on the Maturity Date. The number will not
change unless a transfer is made. The number of Annuity Units for a Subaccount
is determined by dividing the initial annual income amount attributable to that
Subaccount by the Annuity Unit value for that Subaccount as of the Maturity
Date. The dollar amount of each subsequent annual income amount is the sum of
the payments from each Subaccount. The payment is determined by multiplying
your number of Annuity Units in each Subaccount by the Annuity Unit value for
that Subaccount as of the Valuation Day each annuity year starts.
An adjustment account is established on the Maturity Date. The adjustment
account tracks the difference between the level income amount and the
guaranteed payment floor when the level income amount is less than the
guaranteed payment floor. You will not receive monthly income above the
guaranteed payment floor unless future performance of the underlying
Subaccount(s) is sufficient to reduce the adjustment account to zero.
Therefore, poor long-term performance of the underlying Subaccount(s) may
result in monthly income equal to the guaranteed payment floor, even if the
underlying Subaccount(s) performs well in a particular year. The value of the
adjustment account on the Maturity Date will be the greater of (a) and (b),
where:
(a) is zero; and
(b) is 12 multiplied by the guaranteed payment floor, minus 12 multiplied by
the initial level income amount.
Monthly income in subsequent annuity years will be calculated annually as of
the first Valuation Day of each annuity year. The actual monthly income in
subsequent annuity years is the greater of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is the subsequent level income amount, minus any value in the adjustment
account as of the date the last monthly income was paid divided by 12;
and
(b) is the guaranteed payment floor.
For monthly income in subsequent annuity years, the value of the adjustment
account will be the greater of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is zero; and
131
(b) is the value of the adjustment account as of the prior annuity year,
plus 12 multiplied by the actual subsequent monthly income for the
current annuity year, minus 12 multiplied by the subsequent level income
amount for the current annuity year.
Commutation Provision
After the Maturity Date, you may request to terminate your contract and this
rider. If the free look period as defined under the contract has ended, you
will receive the commuted value of your income payments in a lump sum,
calculated as described below (the "commutation value"). After this lump sum
payment, income payments will end.
Please note that the commutation feature in Payment Optimizer Plus may not be
available in all states. Please review the features of Payment Optimizer Plus
available in the contract issued in your state before making a decision to
elect the rider.
Commutation Value: The commutation value will be the lesser of (a) and (b) but
not less than zero, where:
(a) is (i) minus (ii) minus (iii), where:
(i) is the income base less any premium tax;
(ii) is the commutation charge; and
(iii) is the sum of all monthly income paid;
(b) is (i) minus (ii) minus (iii) plus (iv), where:
(i) is the commutation base, which is described below, less any premium
tax;
(ii) is the commutation charge;
(iii) is the adjustment account value; and
(iv) is the level income amount multiplied by the number of months
remaining in the current annuity year.
The amount of the commutation charge will be the surrender charge that would
otherwise apply under the contract, in accordance with the surrender charge
schedule.
Commutation Base: On any day that is a Valuation Day, the commutation base in
a Subaccount is determined by multiplying the number of commutation units in
that Subaccount by the value of the commutation unit for that Subaccount. The
commutation base is equal to the sum of the commutation base amounts for each
Subaccount.
Commutation Units: On the Valuation Day prior to the Maturity Date, the
commutation units in a Subaccount will be equal to the number of Accumulation
Units for that Subaccount.
The number of commutation units is reduced at the beginning of each annuity
year. The reduction for each Subaccount equals (a) divided by (b), where:
(a) is the annual income amount for the Subaccount; and
(b) is the value of the commutation unit for the Subaccount on the first
Valuation Day of the annuity year.
Other events that will reduce the number of commutation units of a Subaccount
are as follows:
(1) transfers out of the Subaccount;
(2) payment of commutation proceeds;
(3) payment of death proceeds; and
(4) deduction of applicable contract charges.
Commutation units are canceled as of the end of the Valuation Period in which
we receive notice in a form acceptable to us regarding an event that reduces
commutation units.
Transfers: When we perform Subaccount transfers after the Maturity Date, we
will redeem the commutation units from the current Subaccount and purchase
commutation units from the new Subaccount. The commutation base on the date of
the transfer will not be affected by the transfer. The number of commutation
units added to the new Subaccount is (a) multiplied by (b), divided by (c),
where:
(a) is the number of commutation units transferred out of the current
Subaccount;
(b) is the value of a commutation unit of the current Subaccount; and
(c) is the value of a commutation unit of the new Subaccount.
Value of Commutation Units: The initial value of a commutation unit for each
Subaccount is the initial value of the Accumulation Unit for that Subaccount.
Thereafter, the value of a commutation unit at the end of every Valuation Day
is the value of the commutation unit at the end of the previous Valuation Day
multiplied by the net investment factor, as described in the contract. The
value of a commutation unit may change from one Valuation Period to the next.
Note on Calculation of Commutation Value: If you elect to terminate your
contract and the rider and receive the commutation value, the commutation value
is based on the commuted value of your income payments in a lump sum. The
amount of income payments on which the commutation value is based on either (a)
income base, which is a measure of premium payments (and Contract Value, if
there is a reset) applied under
132
the contract, and is used to calculate the guaranteed payment floor; and (b)
commutation base, which is a measure of Contract Value had the contract not
been "annuitized," and reflects the effect of market performance. In addition,
the commutation value reflects the deduction of any applicable commutation
charge.
If you elect to terminate your contract after income payments have begun and
receive the commutation value, you will receive the lesser of the adjusted
income base and the adjusted commutation base (but not less than zero), as
described in the calculation provided above. You should be aware that income
base will not reflect any positive investment performance unless, on or before
the Maturity Date, there was a reset of benefit base capturing such
performance. As a result, the commutation value you receive will always be less
than the income base (adjusted for any premium tax, commutation charge and
monthly income paid) and will never reflect any of the positive investment
performance experienced after a reset or after the Maturity Date. This rider is
primarily designed to provide a guaranteed income payment with upside potential
and, therefore, this rider may not make sense for you if you believe you may
elect to terminate the contract and receive the commutation value after your
contract has experienced positive investment performance. Accordingly, the
total amount of commuted income payments you receive if you terminate the
contract may be less than the total amount of income payments and additional
death proceeds you would be guaranteed to receive if you did not terminate the
contract.
Death Provisions
The following provisions apply to the rider.
Special Distribution Rules When Death Occurs Before Monthly Income Starts. If
the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who elects to continue the
contract as the new owner, this rider will continue.
Special Distribution Rules When the Last Annuitant Dies On or After Monthly
Income Starts. If the last Annuitant dies after the Maturity Date, there may
be additional death proceeds paid under this rider to the designated
beneficiary in a lump sum. The amount of any additional death proceeds will be
the greater of (a) and (b), where:
(a) is (i) minus (ii), where:
(i) is the income base;
(ii) is the sum of all monthly income paid; and
(b) is zero.
When this Rider is Effective
The effective date of the rider is the Contract Date. This rider may be
terminated only when the contract is terminated.
Change of Ownership
We must approve any assignment or sale of this contract unless the assignment
is made pursuant to a court order.
General Provisions
For purposes of this rider:
. a non-natural owner must name an Annuitant and may name the Annuitant's
spouse as a Joint Annuitant;
. an individual owner must also be an Annuitant;
. if there is only one owner, that owner may name only his or her spouse as
a Joint Annuitant -- at issue; and
. If you marry after issue, but prior to the Maturity Date, you may add your
spouse as a joint owner and Joint Annuitant or as a Joint Annuitant only,
subject to Home Office approval.
. Under federal tax law, all contract provisions relating to spousal
continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of
"spouse" under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex
marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized
under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic
partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages
under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal
law. Consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Civil union partners are not permitted to continue the contract without
taking required distributions upon the death of an owner. Therefore, even
if named a joint owner/Joint Annuitant, a civil union partner will have to
take required distributions upon the death of the other joint owner/Joint
Annuitant. See the "Distribution Rules" provision of this prospectus. If
this situation applies to you, you should consult a tax adviser.

Examples
The following examples show how Payment Optimizer Plus works based on
hypothetical values. The examples are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended to depict investment performance of the contract and, therefore,
should not be relied upon in making a decision to invest in the rider or
contract. The examples assume that an owner purchases the contract with a male
Annuitant, age 65, at the time of issue.
The first example assumes that:
(1) the owner purchases the contract for $100,000;
(2) a bonus credit of $5,000 (5% of $100,000) is applied to the contract but
is not applied to the benefit base at issue;
(3) the owner makes no additional premium payments or partial withdrawals;
(4) all Contract Value is allocated to the prescribed Investment Strategy at
all times;
(5) the contract earns a net return of 0%;
(6) the benefit base is reset on each contract anniversary;
(7) the Maturity Date is the third contract anniversary;
(8) the guaranteed payment floor percentage is 7%;
(9) the 12 month, period certain, single payment immediate annuity rate is
0%; and
(10) there is no premium tax.
On the Maturity Date, the income base is set equal to the benefit base.

5 5,849 487 613 613 5,068 75,600
------------------------------------------------------------------
The annual income amount for annuity year 1 is determined by multiplying the
Contract Value by a payment rate (in this example, $105,000 x .06517 = $6,843).
The level income amount is determined by dividing the annual income amount by
12. In this example, for annuity year 1, the level income amount is $570
($6,843 / 12). The guaranteed payment floor is determined by multiplying the
income base by the guaranteed payment floor percentage and dividing that
product by 12 (in this example, ($105,000 x .07) / 12 = $613). Monthly income
is the greater of the guaranteed payment floor and the level income amount,
which, for annuity year 1, is the greater of $613 and $570. The additional
death proceeds equal the income base minus the sum of all monthly income paid.

This next example assumes that:
(1) the owner purchases the contract for $100,000;
(2) a bonus credit of $5,000 (5% of $100,000) is applied to the contract but
is not applied to the benefit base at issue;
(3) the owner makes no additional premium payments or withdrawals;
(4) all Contract Value is allocated to the prescribed Investment Strategy at
all times;
(5) the contract earns a net return of 8%;
(6) the benefit base is reset on the first contract anniversary;
(7) the Contract Value at the end of the first contract year is $113,400;
(8) the Maturity Date is the first contract anniversary;
(9) the guaranteed payment floor percentage is 7%; and
(10) there is no premium tax.

The commutation base at the end of annuity year 1 (contract year 2) is
determined by multiplying the Contract Value at the end of the first contract
year less the annual income amount for annuity year 1 by 1.08 (($113,400 -
$7,146) x 1.08 = $114,754). The commutation value at the end of annuity year 1
is equal to the lesser of (i) the income base, less the commutation charge,
less monthly income paid ($113,400 - 8% x $100,000 - $7,938 = $97,462) and
(ii) the commutation base, less the commutation charge, less the value of the
adjustment account ($114,754 - 8% x $100,000 - $0 = $106,754). The commutation
base at the end of annuity year 2 (contract year 3) is determined by
multiplying the commutation base at the end of annuity year 1 less the annual
income amount for annuity year 2 by 1.08 (($114,754 - $7,421) x 1.08 =
$115,919).

TAX MATTERS
Introduction
This part of the prospectus discusses the federal income tax treatment of the
contract. The federal income tax treatment of the contract is complex and
sometimes uncertain. The federal income tax rules may vary with your particular
circumstances.
This discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax advice. It does
not address all of the federal income tax rules that may affect you and your
contract. This discussion also does not address other federal tax consequences,
or state or local tax consequences, associated with a contract. As a result,
you should always consult a tax adviser about the application of tax rules to
your individual situation.
Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts
This part of the discussion describes some of the federal income tax rules
applicable to Non-Qualified Contracts. A Non-Qualified Contract is a contract
not issued in connection with a qualified retirement plan receiving special tax
treatment under the Code, such as an individual retirement annuity or a Section
401(k) plan.
Tax deferral on earnings. The federal income tax law generally does not tax
any increase in an owner's Contract Value until there is a distribution from
the contract. However, certain requirements must be satisfied in order for this
general rule to apply, including:
. an individual must own the contract (or the tax law must treat the
contract as owned by an individual);
. the investments of the Separate Account must be "adequately diversified"
in accordance with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations;
. the owner's right to choose particular investments for a contract must be
limited; and
. the contract's Maturity Date must not occur near the end of the
Annuitant's life expectancy.
Contracts not owned by an individual -- no tax deferral and loss of interest
deduction. As a general rule, the Code does not treat a contract that is owned
by an entity (rather than an individual) as an annuity contract for federal
income tax purposes. The entity owning the contract generally pays tax each
year on the annual increase in Contract Value. Contracts issued to a
corporation or a trust are examples of contracts where the owner is taxed on
the contract's earnings.
There are several exceptions to this rule. For example, the Code treats a
contract as owned by an individual if the nominal owner is a trust or other
entity that holds the contract as an agent for an individual. However, this
non-qualified exception does not apply in the case of any employer that owns a
contract to provide deferred compensation for its employees.
In the case of a contract issued after June 8, 1997 to a taxpayer that is not
an individual, or a contract held for the benefit of an entity, the entity will
lose its deduction for a portion of its otherwise deductible interest expenses.
This disallowance does not apply if the nonnatural owner pays tax on the annual
increase in the Contract Value. Entities that are considering purchasing the
contract, or entities that will benefit from someone else's ownership of a
contract, should consult a tax adviser.
Investments in the Separate Account must be diversified. For a contract to be
treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the investments
of the Separate Account must be "adequately diversified." The IRS has issued
regulations that prescribe standards for determining whether the investments of
the Separate Account, including the assets of each Portfolio in which the
Separate Account invests, are adequately diversified. If the Separate Account
fails to comply with these diversification standards, the owner could be
required to pay tax for the year of such failure and each subsequent year on
the untaxed income accumulated in the contract.
Although we do not control the investments of all of the Funds, we expect that
the Funds will comply with the IRS regulations so that the Separate Account
will be considered "adequately diversified."
Restrictions on the extent to which an owner can direct the investment of
assets. In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who possess
excessive control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets
may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax
currently on income and gains produced by those assets. Although published
guidance in this area does not address certain aspects of the contract, we
believe that the owner of a contract should not be treated as the owner of the
Separate Account assets. We reserve the right to modify the contract to bring
it into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be
necessary to prevent an owner of the contract from being treated as the owner
of the underlying Separate Account assets. However, there is no assurance such
efforts would be successful.
Age at which income payments must begin. Federal income tax rules do not
expressly identify a particular age by which income payments must begin.
However, those rules do require that an annuity contract provide for
amortization, through income payments of the contract's premiums paid and
earnings.
136
We believe that these rules are satisfied by providing guaranteed annuity
purchase rates in the contract that the owner may exercise at any time after
the first policy year. If income payments begin or are scheduled to begin at a
date that the IRS determines does not satisfy these rules, interest and gains
under the contract could be taxable each year as they accrue.
No guarantees regarding tax treatment. We make no guarantees regarding the tax
treatment of any contract or of any transaction involving a contract. However,
the remainder of this discussion assumes that your contract will be treated as
an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes and that the tax law will
not impose tax on any increase in your Contract Value until there is a
distribution from your contract.
Partial and total surrenders. A partial surrender occurs when you receive less
than the total amount of the contract's Surrender Value. In the case of a
partial surrender, you will pay tax on the amount you receive to the extent
your Contract Value before the partial surrender exceeds your "investment in
the contract." (This term is explained below.) This income (and all other
income from your contract) is ordinary income. The Code imposes a higher rate
of tax on ordinary income than it does on capital gains.
A surrender occurs when you receive the total amount of the contract's
Surrender Value. In the case of a surrender, you will generally pay tax on the
amount you receive to the extent it exceeds your "investment in the contract."
Your "investment in the contract" generally equals the total of your premium
payments under the contract, reduced by any amounts you previously received
from the contract that you did not include in your income.
Your contract imposes charges relating to the death benefit, including any
death benefit provided under an optional rider. It is possible that all or a
portion of these charges could be treated as partial surrenders from the
contract.
In the case of Systematic Withdrawals, the amount of each Systematic Withdrawal
should be considered a distribution and taxed in the same manner as a partial
surrender from the contract.
Any withdrawals taken pursuant to one of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal
Benefit for Life Riders are subject to tax as partial withdrawals.
Distributions received before the Maturity Date pursuant to Guaranteed Income
Advantage may be subject to tax as partial withdrawals. See the "Tax Treatment
of Guaranteed Income Advantage" provision in the "Guaranteed Income Advantage"
section of the prospectus.
Assignments and pledges. The Code treats any assignment or pledge of (or
agreement to assign or pledge) any portion of your Contract Value as a partial
surrender of such amount or portion.
Gifting a contract. If you transfer ownership of your contract -- without
receiving full and adequate consideration -- to a person other than your spouse
(or to your former spouse incident to divorce), you will pay tax on your
Contract Value to the extent it exceeds your "investment in the contract." In
such a case, the new owner's "investment in the contract" will be increased to
reflect the amount included in your income.
Taxation of income payments. The Code imposes tax on a portion of each income
payment (at ordinary income tax rates) and treats a portion as a nontaxable
return of your "investment in the contract." Withdrawals taken pursuant to one
of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Riders are generally not
taxed as income payments for federal income tax purposes. As discussed above,
these payments should be considered distributions and taxed in the same manner
as a partial withdrawal from the contract. We will notify you annually of the
taxable amount of your income payment.
Pursuant to the Code, you will pay tax on the full amount of your income
payments once you have recovered the total amount of the "investment in the
contract." If income payments cease because of the death of the Annuitant(s)
and before the total amount of the "investment in the contract" has been
recovered, the unrecovered amount generally will be deductible.
If proceeds are left with us (Optional Payment Plan 4), they are taxed in the
same manner as a surrender. The owner must pay tax currently on the interest
credited on these proceeds. This treatment could also apply to Optional Payment
Plan 3 depending on the relationship of the amount of the periodic payments to
the period over which they are paid.
Taxation of the death benefit. We may distribute amounts from your contract
because of the death of an owner, a joint owner, or an Annuitant. The tax
treatment of these amounts depends on whether the owner, joint owner, or
Annuitant dies before or after the Maturity Date.
Taxation of Death Benefit if Paid Before the Maturity Date:
. the death benefit is taxed to the designated beneficiary in the same
manner as an income payment would have been taxed to the owner if received
under an Optional Payment Plan;
. if not received under an Optional Payment Plan, the death benefit is taxed
to the designated beneficiary in the same manner as a surrender or a
partial surrender would have been taxed to the owner, depending on the
manner in which the death benefit is paid.
137
Taxation of Death Benefit if Paid After the Maturity Date:
. The death benefit is includible in income to the extent it exceeds the
unrecovered "investment in the contract."
Penalty taxes payable on surrenders, partial surrenders or income
payments. The Code may impose a penalty tax equal to 10% of the amount of any
payment from your contract that is included in your gross income. The Code does
not impose the 10% penalty tax if one of several exceptions applies. These
exceptions include partial and total surrenders or income payments that:
. you receive on or after you reach age 59 1/2;
. you receive because you became disabled (as defined in the tax law);
. are received on or after the death of an owner; or
. you receive as a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less
frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the
taxpayer.
Systematic Withdrawals may qualify for this last exception if structured in
accordance with IRS guidelines. If they do, any modification of the Systematic
Withdrawals, including additional partial surrenders apart from the Systematic
Withdrawals, could result in certain adverse tax consequences. In addition,
premium payments or a transfer between the Subaccounts may result in payments
not qualifying for this exception.
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special
rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. You
should consult a tax adviser with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.
Medicare Tax. Distributions from Non-Qualified Contracts will be considered
"investment income" for purposes of the Medicare tax on investment income.
Thus, in certain circumstances, a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or all of the
taxable portion of distributions (e.g. earnings) to individuals whose income
exceeds certain threshold amounts. Please consult a tax adviser for more
information.
Special rules if you own more than one contract. In certain circumstances, you
may have to combine some or all of the Non-Qualified Contracts you own in order
to determine the amount of an income payment, a total surrender, or a partial
surrender that you must include in income. For example:
. if you purchase a contract described by this prospectus and also purchase
at approximately the same time an immediate annuity, the IRS may treat the
two contracts as one contract;
. if you purchase two or more deferred annuity contracts from the same life
insurance company (or its affiliates) during any calendar year, the Code
treats all such contracts as one contract for certain purposes.
The effects of such aggregation are not clear. However, it could affect:
. the amount of a surrender, a partial surrender or an income payment that
you must include in income; and
. the amount that might be subject to a penalty tax.
Section 1035 Exchanges
Under Section 1035 of the Code, the exchange of one annuity contract for
another annuity contract generally is not taxed (unless cash is distributed).
To qualify as a nontaxable exchange however, certain conditions must be
satisfied, e.g., the obligee(s) under the new annuity contract must be the same
obligee(s) as under the original contract. We do not permit an owner to
partially exchange this contract for another annuity contract.
If this contract has been purchased in whole or part by exchanging part of a
life insurance or annuity contract, certain subsequent transactions may cause
the IRS to retrospectively treat the partial Section 1035 exchange as taxable.
We intend to administer the contract without regard to the partially exchanged
funding contract and disclaim any responsibility for monitoring events that
could cause the IRS to examine the completed partial Section 1035 exchange.
Owners contemplating any transaction, involving this contract or a partially
exchanged contract funding this contract, within 180 days of a partial Section
1035 exchange are strongly advised to consult a tax adviser.
Upon the death of a non-spousal joint owner, the contract provides the
surviving joint owner with the option of using the proceeds of this contract to
purchase a separate annuity contract with terms and values that are
substantially similar to those of this contract. Exercise of this option will
not qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 1035.
Beginning in 2010, the owner may exchange the contract under Section 1035 of
the Code for a long-term care contract. We believe that the provisions of the
Pension Protection Act of 2006 establishing annuity to long-term care Section
1035 exchanges would permit the owner to exchange a portion of the contract to
pay the annual or other periodic premium for a long-term care contract issued
by us or another insurance company. The IRS has issued limited guidance on such
transactions, including on the allocation of basis that would be required to
effect them. It is possible that the IRS could take a narrow view of the 2006
legislation and under certain circumstances treat partial Section 1035
exchanges to pay long-term care premiums as taxable withdrawals from the
contract. Currently, we do not
138
permit an owner to partially exchange this contract to purchase a long-term
care contract or pay long-term care premiums. If all or a portion of the
contract is used to purchase long-term care insurance in a Section 1035
exchange, the amount so used representing income on the contract would not be
tax-deductible as a medical expense and the amount so used representing
investment in the contract may not be tax-deductible as a medical expense. Any
owner contemplating the use of the contract to fund long-term care insurance or
long-term care expenses should consult a tax adviser.
Qualified Retirement Plans
We also designed the contracts for use in connection with certain types of
retirement plans that receive favorable treatment under the Code. Contracts
issued to or in connection with retirement plans that receive special tax
treatment are called "Qualified Contracts." We may not offer all of the types
of Qualified Contracts described herein in the future. Prospective purchasers
should contact our Home Office for information on the availability of Qualified
Contracts at any given time.
The federal income tax rules applicable to qualified retirement plans are
complex and varied. As a result, this prospectus makes no attempt to provide
more than general information about use of the contract with the various types
of qualified retirement plans. Persons intending to use the contract in
connection with a qualified retirement plan should obtain advice from a tax
adviser.
The contract includes attributes such as tax deferral on accumulated earnings.
Qualified retirement plans provide their own tax deferral benefit. The purchase
of this contract as an investment of a qualified retirement plan does not
provide additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided in the qualified
retirement plan. If you are purchasing this contract as a Qualified Contract,
you should consider purchasing this contract for its death benefits, income
benefits and other non-tax benefits. Please consult a tax adviser for
information specific to your circumstances in order to determine whether this
contract is an appropriate investment for you.
Types of Qualified Contracts. The types of Qualified Contracts currently being
offered include:
. Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) permit individuals to
make annual contributions of up to the lesser of a specified dollar amount
for the year or the amount of compensation includible in the individual's
gross income for the year. Certain employers may establish Simplified
Employee Pensions (SEPs), which have higher contribution limits, on behalf
of their employees. The Internal Revenue Service has not reviewed the
contract for qualification as an IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of
general applicability whether death benefits such as those in the contract
comport with IRA qualification requirements.
. Roth IRAs permit certain eligible individuals to make non-deductible
contributions to a Roth IRA. Distributions from a Roth IRA generally are
not taxed, except that, once aggregate distributions exceed contributions
to the Roth IRA, income tax and a 10% IRS penalty tax may apply to
distributions made: (1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions);
or (2) during the five taxable years starting with the year in which the
first contribution is made to any Roth IRA. A 10% penalty may apply to
amounts attributable to a conversion from an IRA if they are distributed
during the five taxable years beginning with the year in which the
conversion was made.
. Traditional individual retirement accounts and Roth individual retirement
accounts have the same contribution limits and tax treatment of
distributions as the corresponding type of individual retirement annuity,
discussed above. The contract may be owned by the custodian or trustee of
an individual retirement account established for the benefit of the
Annuitant. Only the owner, acting through its authorized
representative(s), may exercise contract rights. When held by an
individual retirement account, the contract is not issued as an individual
retirement annuity or administered as such by us. Annuitants must look to
the custodian or trustee, as contract owner, for satisfaction of their
rights to benefits under the terms of the individual retirement account.
. Corporate pension and profit-sharing plans under Section 401(a) of the
Code allow corporate employers to establish various types of retirement
plans for employees, and self-employed individuals to establish qualified
plans ("H.R. 10 or Keough plans") for themselves and their employees.
. 403(b) Plans allow employees of certain tax-exempt organizations and
public schools to exclude from their gross income the premium payments
made, within certain limits, to a contract that will provide an annuity
for the employee's retirement. Distributions of: (1) salary reduction
contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988; (2)
earnings on those contributions; and (3) earnings on amounts held as of
the last year beginning before January 1, 1989, are not allowed prior to
age 59 1/2, severance from employment, death or disability. Salary
reduction contributions (but not earnings) may also be distributed upon
hardship, but would generally be subject to a 10%
139
IRS penalty tax. For contracts issued after 2008, amounts attributable to
nonelective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions
specified in the employer's 403(b) Plan. Under recent IRS regulations we
are obligated to share information concerning certain contract
transactions with the employer sponsoring the 403(b) plan in which the
owner is participating and possibly other product providers. We generally
are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that
these transactions comply with applicable tax requirements and to decline
requests that are not in compliance.
Terms of qualified retirement plans and Qualified Contracts. The terms of a
qualified retirement plan may affect your rights under a Qualified Contract.
When issued in connection with a qualified retirement plan, we will amend a
contract as generally necessary to conform to the requirements of the type of
plan. However, the rights of any person to any benefits under qualified
retirement plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans
themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions of the contract. In
addition, we are not bound by the terms and conditions of qualified retirement
plans to the extent such terms and conditions contradict the contract, unless
we consent.
Employer qualified plans. Qualified plans sponsored by an employer or employee
organization are governed by the provisions of the Code and the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, as amended ("ERISA"). ERISA is administered
primarily by the U.S. Department of Labor. The Code and ERISA include
requirements that various features be contained in an employer qualified plan
with respect to: participation; vesting; funding; nondiscrimination; limits on
contributions and benefits; distributions; penalties; duties of fiduciaries;
prohibited transactions; withholding; reporting and disclosure.
In the case of certain qualified plans, if a participant is married at the time
benefits become payable, unless the participant elects otherwise with written
consent of the spouse, the benefits must be paid in the form of a qualified
joint and survivor annuity. A qualified joint and survivor annuity is an
annuity payable for the life of the participant with a survivor annuity for the
life of the spouse in an amount that is not less than one-half of the amount
payable to the participant during his or her lifetime. In addition, a married
participant's beneficiary must be the spouse, unless the spouse consents in
writing to the designation of a different beneficiary. There is much
uncertainty regarding the application of these rules in the context of
guaranteed withdrawal benefits such as those offered in optional riders to the
contract. Consult a tax or legal adviser regarding these issues if an optional
guaranteed withdrawal rider is being considered under a 401(a) or 403(b) plan.
If this contract is purchased as an investment of a qualified plan, the owner
will be either an employee benefit trust or the plan sponsor. Plan participants
and beneficiaries will have no ownership rights in the contract. Only the
owner, acting through its authorized representative(s) may exercise contract
rights. Participants and beneficiaries must look to the plan fiduciaries for
satisfaction of their rights to benefits under the terms of the qualified plan.
Where a contract is purchased by an employer-qualified plan, we assume no
responsibility regarding whether the contract's terms and benefits are
consistent with the requirements of the Code and ERISA. It is the
responsibility of the employer, plan trustee, plan administrator and/or other
plan fiduciaries to satisfy the requirements of the Code and ERISA applicable
to the qualified plan. This prospectus does not provide detailed tax or ERISA
information. Various tax disadvantages, including penalties, may result from
actions that conflict with requirements of the Code or ERISA, and the
regulations pertaining to those laws. Federal tax laws and ERISA are
continually under review by Congress. Any changes in the laws or in the
regulations pertaining to the laws may affect the tax treatment of amounts
contributed to employer qualified plans and the fiduciary actions required by
ERISA.
IRAs and Roth IRAs. The Code permits individuals to make annual contributions
to IRAs of up to the lesser of a specified dollar amount for the year or the
amount of compensation includible in the individual's gross income for the
year. The contributions may be deductible in whole or in part, depending on the
individual's income. The Code also permits certain eligible individuals to make
non-deductible contributions to a Roth IRA in cash or as a rollover or transfer
from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to
a Roth IRA is generally subject to tax. You should consult a tax adviser before
combining any converted amounts with any other Roth IRA contributions,
including any other conversion amounts from other tax years.
The Internal Revenue Service has not reviewed the contract for qualification as
an IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether a
death benefit provision such as the provision in this contract comports with
IRA qualification requirements. We may, however, endorse the contract to
satisfy the IRA or Roth IRA qualification rules and submit the endorsement to
the IRS for approval as to form. If you purchased the contract with such an
endorsement, the accompanying disclosure statement will indicate the status of
the endorsement's approval under the IRS IRA Prototype Program.
You will be the owner of a contract issued as an IRA or Roth IRA, and will be
responsible for exercising your rights as owner
140
in accordance with applicable tax rules, including limitations for
contributions and distributions. The contract may also be held in an IRA
custodial account or trust as an investment. In that event the custodian or
trustee, with your cooperation, is responsible for satisfaction of the IRA
qualification requirements. We have no responsibility beyond that pertaining to
nonqualified contracts for contracts held in an IRA account or trust.
The death benefit and Qualified Contracts. Pursuant to IRS regulations, IRAs
and 403(b) Plans may not invest in life insurance contracts. We do not believe
that these regulations prohibit the death benefit, including that provided by
any death benefit rider option, from being provided under the contracts when we
issue the contracts as Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEPs or 403(b) Plans.
However, the law is unclear and it is possible that the presence of the death
benefit under a contract issued as a Traditional IRA, a Roth IRA, a SEP or
403(b) Plan could disqualify a contract and result in increased taxes to the
owner.
It is also possible that the death benefit could be characterized as an
incidental death benefit. If the death benefit were so characterized, this
could result in currently taxable income to purchasers. In addition, there are
limitations on the amount of incidental death benefits that may be provided
under qualified retirement plans, such as in connection with a Section 403(b)
plan.
Treatment of Qualified Contracts compared with Non-Qualified
Contracts. Although some of the federal income tax rules are the same for both
Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts, many of the rules are different. For
example:
. the Code generally does not impose tax on the earnings under either
Qualified or Non-Qualified Contracts until the earnings are distributed;
. the Code does not limit the amount of premium payments and the time at
which premium payments can be made under Non-Qualified Contracts. However,
the Code does limit both the amount and frequency of premium payments made
to Qualified Contracts;
. the Code does not allow a deduction for premium payments made for
Non-Qualified Contracts, but sometimes allows a deduction or exclusion
from income for premium payments made to a Qualified Contract;
. Under most qualified retirement plans, the owner must begin receiving
payments from the contract in certain minimum amounts by a certain date,
generally April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the owner attains age 72 for Traditional IRAs and SEPs and April 1
of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which the
employee (except for a 5 percent owner) retires or attains age 72 for
other Qualified Contracts. The actuarial value of certain benefit
guarantees, such as guaranteed withdrawal benefits, and certain death
benefits may be included with the contract's cash value in determining the
required minimum distribution amount. The presence of such living benefits
and death benefits may require the owner to withdraw a larger amount each
year than would be required based only on the contract value. We are
required to annually determine and report to the owner the fair market
value for traditional individual retirement annuities while the owner is
alive. This computation is based in part on future economic performance
and conditions and is made under the guidance of our actuarial department
in accordance with income tax regulations and guidelines published by the
Society of Actuaries. It is possible that, using different assumptions or
methodologies, the amount required to be withdrawn would be more or less
than the amount we report to you as the required minimum distribution.
Roth IRAs do not require any distributions during the owner's lifetime.
The death benefit under your contract and certain other benefits provided
by the living benefit riders may increase the amount of the minimum
required distribution that must be taken from your contract.
The federal income tax rules applicable to qualified retirement plans and
Qualified Contracts vary with the type of plan and contract. For example,
federal tax rules limit the amount of premium payments that can be made, and
the tax deduction or exclusion that may be allowed for the premium payments.
These limits vary depending on the type of qualified retirement plan and the
circumstances of the plan participant, e.g., the participant's compensation.
Amounts received under Qualified Contracts. Federal income tax rules generally
include distributions from a Qualified Contract in your income as ordinary
income. Premium payments that are deductible or excludible from income do not
create "investment in the contract." Thus, under many Qualified Contracts there
will be no "investment in the contract" and you include the total amount you
receive in your income. There are exceptions. For example, you do not include
amounts received from a Roth IRA if certain conditions are satisfied. In
addition, failure to comply with the minimum distribution rules applicable to
certain qualified retirement plans, will result in the imposition of an excise
tax. This excise tax generally equals 50% of the amount by which a minimum
required distribution exceeds the actual distribution from the qualified
retirement plan. Please note important changes to the required minimum
distribution rules. Under IRAs and defined contribution retirement plans, most
non-spouse beneficiaries will no longer be able to satisfy these rules by
"stretching" payouts over life. Instead, those beneficiaries will have to take
their post-death distributions within ten years. Certain exceptions apply to
"eligible designated beneficiaries," which include disabled and chronically ill
individuals, individuals who
141
are ten or less years younger than the deceased individual, and children who
have not reached the age of majority. This change applies to distributions to
designated beneficiaries of individuals who die on and after January 1, 2020.
Consult a tax adviser if you are affected by these new rules.
Federal penalty taxes payable on distributions. The Code may impose a penalty
tax equal to 10% of the amount of any payment from your Qualified Contract that
is includible in your income. The Code does not impose the penalty tax if one
of several exceptions apply. The exceptions vary depending on the type of
Qualified Contract you purchase. For example, in the case of an IRA, exceptions
provide that the penalty tax does not apply to a partial surrender, surrender,
or annuity payment:
. received on or after the owner reaches age 59 1/2;
. received on or after the owner's death or because of the owner's
disability (as defined in the tax law);
. received as a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less
frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the
taxpayer; or
. received as reimbursement for certain amounts paid for medical care.
These exceptions, as well as certain others not described here, generally apply
to taxable distributions from other qualified retirement plans. However, the
specific requirements of the exception may vary.
On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security Act (the "CARES Act"). Among other provisions, the CARES Act includes
temporary relief from certain tax rules applicable to Qualified Contracts,
including rules related to required minimum distributions and retirement plan
distributions. If you have been taking or plan to take distributions, including
required minimum distributions, from an IRA or other qualified plan, you should
consult with a tax adviser to determine how the CARES Act may impact your
situation.
Moving money from one Qualified Contract or qualified retirement plan to
another. Rollovers and transfers: In many circumstances you may move money
between Qualified Contracts and qualified retirement plans by means of a
rollover or a transfer. Special rules apply to such rollovers and transfers.
The IRS has re-examined a longstanding interpretation of the IRA rollover
rules. Beginning in 2015, an IRA owner may make only one rollover in a 12 month
period to avoid being taxed on distributions received during that period from
all of his or her IRAs (including Roth IRAs). The rule does not apply to direct
transfers between IRA issuers or custodians. If you have received an IRA
distribution and are contemplating making a rollover contribution, you should
consult a tax adviser.
If you do not follow the applicable rules, you may suffer adverse federal
income tax consequences, including paying taxes which you might not otherwise
have had to pay. You should always consult a qualified tax adviser before you
move or attempt to move assets between any Qualified Contract or plan and
another Qualified Contract or plan. If your contract was issued pursuant to a
403(b) plan, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan
sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders or transfers you request comply with
applicable tax requirements and to decline requests that are not in compliance.
Direct rollovers: The direct rollover rules apply to certain payments (called
"eligible rollover distributions") from Section 401(a) plans, Section 403(b)
plans, H.R. 10 plans, and Qualified Contracts used in connection with these
types of plans. The direct rollover rules do not apply to distributions from
IRAs. The direct rollover rules require federal income tax equal to 20% of the
taxable portion of an eligible rollover distribution to be withheld from the
amount of the distribution, unless the owner elects to have the amount directly
transferred to certain Qualified Contracts or plans. Certain restrictions apply
to the ability to rollover any after-tax amounts.
Prior to receiving an eligible rollover distribution from us, we will provide
you with a notice explaining these requirements and the procedure for avoiding
20% withholding by electing a direct rollover.
IRA conversions: If this contract is issued as an IRA, you may convert the
contract to a Roth IRA. If you do so, the fair market value of your contract
will be treated as a distribution from your IRA. This fair market value will
include the contract's cash value together with the actuarial value of certain
benefit guarantees, such as guaranteed withdrawal benefits, and certain death
benefits. This computation is based in part on future economic performance and
conditions and is made under the guidance of our actuarial department in
accordance with income tax regulations. The methodology followed is similar to
that used to determine the actuarial value of such benefit guarantees for
required minimum distribution purposes, as described above in the "Treatment of
Qualified Contracts compared with Non-Qualified Contracts" section. We will
determine and report the fair market value of your contract to you and the
Internal Revenue Service to satisfy our reporting obligations using assumptions
and calculation methodologies based on our interpretation of the Code. It is
possible that, using different assumptions or methodologies, your actual tax
liability would be more or less than the income reported by us. You should
always consult a tax adviser before you convert an IRA to a Roth IRA.
Disclosure Pursuant to Code and ERISA Requirements. The ongoing fees and
expenses of the contracts and the charges you may pay when you surrender or
take withdrawals from your contract, as well as the range of fees
142
and expenses of the Portfolios that you will pay indirectly when your assets
are allocated to the Portfolios, are discussed in the "Fee Tables" provision of
the prospectus. More detail concerning each Portfolio's fees and expenses is
included in the prospectus for each Portfolio.
AssetMark is the investment adviser under the Asset Allocation Program and a
former affiliate of the Company. There is no direct fee for participation in
the Asset Allocation Program. The Company may compensate AssetMark for services
it provides related to the Asset Allocation Program. However, the Company may
receive fees from the investment adviser or distributor of a Portfolio for
certain administrative and other services we provide to you or to the Portfolio
relating to the allocation of your assets to the Portfolio, and the amount of
these fees may vary from Portfolio to Portfolio. Furthermore, the Company or
our affiliate Capital Brokerage Corporation may receive Rule 12b-1 fees in
varying amounts from the Portfolios or their distributors for distribution and
related services. Additional information on the fees payable to the Company and
Capital Brokerage Corporation by the Portfolios and their advisers and
distributors, including the range of such fees, is included in the
"Subaccounts" provision of the prospectus. Additional information regarding the
Asset Allocation Program and the potential conflicts of interest to which
AssetMark is subject is included in the "Asset Allocation Program" provision of
the prospectus.
When you purchase a contract through a broker-dealer, the broker-dealer is paid
a commission and may be paid a separate marketing allowance. The maximum
aggregate amount of such compensation is 6.5% of a contract owner's aggregate
purchase payments. The broker-dealer firm generally pays a portion of such
commission to its representative who assisted you with the purchase, and that
amount will vary depending on the broker-dealer and the individual
representative. The Company has no agreement with any broker-dealer and any
representative of a broker-dealer that limits the insurance and investment
products or other securities they offer to those issued by the Company.
By signing the application for the contract, you acknowledge receipt of these
disclosures and approve the purchase of the contract, the Asset Allocation
Program, and the investments made pursuant to the Asset Allocation Program.
Federal Income Tax Withholding
We will withhold and remit to the IRS a part of the taxable portion of each
distribution made under a contract unless the distributee notifies us at or
before the time of the distribution that he or she elects not to have any
amounts withheld. In certain circumstances, federal income tax rules may
require us to withhold tax. At the time you request a partial or total
surrender, or income payment, we will send you forms that explain the
withholding requirements.
See the "Annuity Purchases by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations"
section below for special withholding rules applicable to payees other than
U.S. citizens or residents and to payments made overseas.
State Income Tax Withholding
If required by the law of your state, we will also withhold state income tax
from the taxable portion of each distribution made under the contract, unless
you make an available election to avoid withholding. If permitted under state
law, we will honor your request for voluntary state withholding.
Tax Status of the Company
Under existing federal income tax laws, we do not pay tax on investment income
and realized capital gains of the Separate Account. We do not anticipate that
we will incur any federal income tax liability on the income and gains earned
by the Separate Account. We, therefore, do not impose a charge for federal
income taxes. If federal income tax law changes and we must pay tax on some or
all of the income and gains earned by the Separate Account, we may impose a
charge against the Separate Account to pay the taxes.
Federal Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes
While no attempt is being made to discuss in detail the Federal estate tax
implications of the contract, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of
an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary who
survives the decedent is included in the decedent's gross estate. Depending on
the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the
gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated
beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the
beneficiary. Consult an estate planning advisor for more information.
Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a generation-skipping ("GST")
tax when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death
benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the
Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from
your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.
The potential application of these taxes underscores the importance of seeking
guidance from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan
adequately addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all
possible scenarios.
143
Definition of Spouse Under Federal Law
The contract provides that upon your death, a surviving spouse may have certain
continuation rights that he or she may elect to exercise for the contract's
death benefit. All contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are
available only to a person who meets the definition of "spouse" under federal
law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex marriages must be permitted
under state law and that marriages recognized under state law will be
recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic partnerships and civil unions
that are not recognized as legal marriages under state law, however, will not
be treated as marriages under federal law. Consult a tax adviser for more
information on this subject.
Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico
The IRS has announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under
life insurance or annuity contracts issued by a Puerto Rico branch of a United
States life insurance company is U.S. -- source income that is generally
subject to United States federal income tax.
Annuity Purchases by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income
tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents.
Purchasers (and beneficiaries) that are not U.S. citizens or residents will
generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions
from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In
addition, such purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and
taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or
residence. Special withholding rules apply to entity purchasers (including
foreign corporations, partnerships, and trusts) that are not U.S. residents. We
reserve the right to make all payments due to owners or beneficiaries directly
to such persons and shall not be obligated to pay any foreign financial
institution on behalf of any individual. Prospective purchasers are advised to
consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign
taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.
Foreign Tax Credits
We may benefit from any foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by
certain funds to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under federal
tax law.
Changes in the Law
This discussion is based on the Code, IRS regulations, and interpretations
existing on the date of this prospectus. Congress, the IRS, and the courts may
modify these authorities, however, sometimes retroactively.
REQUESTING PAYMENTS
To request a payment, you must provide us with notice in a form satisfactory to
us. We will ordinarily pay any partial surrender or total surrender proceeds
from the Separate Account within seven days after receipt at our Home Office of
a request in good order. We will also ordinarily make payment of lump sum death
benefit proceeds from the Separate Account within seven days from the receipt
of due proof of death and all required forms. We will determine the amount of
the payment as of the end of the Valuation Period during which our Home Office
receives the payment request or due proof of death and all required forms.
In most cases, when we pay the death benefit in a lump sum, we will pay these
proceeds to your designated beneficiary directly in the form of a check. We may
also provide your designated beneficiary the option to establish an interest
bearing draft account, called the "Secure Access Account," in the amount of the
death benefit.
When establishing the Secure Access Account we will send the designated
beneficiary a draft account book within seven days after we receive all the
required documents, and the designated beneficiary will have immediate access
to the account simply by writing a draft for all or any part of the amount of
the death benefit payment. Any interest credited to amounts in the Secure
Access Account is currently taxable to the designated beneficiary.
The Secure Access Account is part of our General Account. It is not a bank
account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. As
part of our General Account, it is subject to the claims of our creditors. We
receive a benefit from all amounts left in the Secure Access Account.
We require a positive election from the designated beneficiary to establish the
Secure Access Account for the designated beneficiary. The Secure Access Account
is not available in all states. We may discontinue offering the Secure Access
Account at any time, for any reason and without notice.
We will delay making a payment from the Subaccount or applying Subaccount value
to a payment plan if:
(1) the disposal or valuation of the Subaccount is not reasonably
practicable because:
. the SEC declares that an emergency exists (due to the emergency the
disposal or valuation of the Separate Account's assets is not
reasonably practicable);
144
. the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than a regular holiday
or weekend;
. trading is restricted by the SEC; or
(2) the SEC, by order, permits postponement of payment to protect our owners.
In addition, if, pursuant to SEC rules, a money market fund that a subaccount
invests in suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a
liquidation of that fund, we will delay payment of any transfer, partial
withdrawal, surrender, loan, or death benefit from the subaccount until the
fund is liquidated.
State law requires that we reserve the right to defer payments from the
Guarantee Account for a partial or total surrender for up to six months from
the date we receive your request at our Home Office. We also may defer making
any payments attributable to a check or draft that has not cleared until we are
satisfied that the check or draft has been paid by the bank on which it is
drawn.
If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a premium
payment and/or block an owner's account and thereby refuse to pay any requests
for transfers, partial surrenders, or death benefits until instructions are
received from the appropriate regulators. We may also be required to provide
additional information about you or your account to government regulators.
SALES OF THE CONTRACTS
This contract is no longer offered or sold. However, the following section
provides detail concerning the manner in which contracts were sold and the
compensation arrangements applicable to those sales. Although certain
compensation practices no longer apply (e.g., no commissions are paid in
connection with new contract sales because such sales have been suspended),
certain of the compensation practices remain relevant to in-force contracts.
Most notably, selling firms continue to be compensated with respect to
subsequent purchase payments made under the in-force contracts.
We have entered into an underwriting agreement with Capital Brokerage
Corporation for the distribution and sale of the contracts. Pursuant to this
agreement, Capital Brokerage Corporation serves as principal underwriter for
the contracts, offering them on a continuous basis. Capital Brokerage
Corporation is located at 6620 West Broad Street, Building 2, Richmond,
Virginia 23230. Capital Brokerage Corporation will use its best efforts to sell
the contracts, but is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount
of contracts.
Capital Brokerage Corporation was organized as a corporation under the laws of
the state of Washington in 1981 and is an affiliate of ours. Capital Brokerage
Corporation is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as with the
securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") (formerly, NASD, Inc.).
Capital Brokerage Corporation offers the contracts through its registered
representatives who are registered with FINRA and with the states in which they
do business. More information about Capital Brokerage Corporation and the
registered representatives is available at http://www.finra.org or by calling
(800) 289-9999. You also can obtain an investor brochure from FINRA describing
its Public Disclosure Program. Registered representatives with Capital
Brokerage Corporation are also licensed as insurance agents in the states in
which they do business and are appointed with the Company.
Capital Brokerage Corporation also enters into selling agreements with an
affiliated broker-dealer and unaffiliated broker-dealers to sell the contracts.
The registered representatives of these selling firms are registered with FINRA
and with the states in which they do business, are licensed as insurance agents
in the states in which they do business and are appointed with us.
We pay compensation to Capital Brokerage Corporation for promotion and sales of
the contracts by its registered representatives as well as by affiliated and
unaffiliated selling firms. This compensation consists of sales commissions and
other cash and non-cash compensation. The maximum commission we may pay for the
sale of a contract is 7.0% of a contract owner's aggregate premium payments.
The maximum commission consists of three parts -- commissions paid to internal
and external wholesalers of Capital Brokerage Corporation ("wholesalers" are
individuals employed by the Company and registered with Capital Brokerage
Corporation that promote the offer and sale of the contracts), commissions paid
to the affiliated and unaffiliated brokerage firms ("selling firms") that
employ the registered representative who sold your contract, and an amount paid
to the selling firm for marketing and other payments related to the sale of the
contract. Wholesalers with Capital Brokerage Corporation each may receive a
maximum commission of 0.5% of your aggregate premium payments.
After commission is paid to the wholesalers of Capital Brokerage Corporation, a
commission is then paid to the selling firm. A maximum commission of 5.5% of
your aggregate premium payments. The exact amount of commission paid to the
registered representative who sold you your contract is determined by the
brokerage firm that employs the representative is employed.
145
All selling firms receive commissions as described above based on the sale of,
and receipt of premium payments, on the contract. Unaffiliated selling firms
receive additional compensation, including marketing allowances and other
payments. The maximum marketing allowance paid to a selling firm on the sale of
a contract is 1.0% of premium payments received. At times, Capital Brokerage
Corporation may make other cash and non-cash payments to selling firms, (as
well as receive payments from selling firms) for expenses relating to the
recruitment and training of personnel, periodic sales meetings, the production
of promotional sales literature and similar expenses. These expenses may also
relate to the synchronization of technology between the Company, Capital
Brokerage Corporation and the selling firm in order to coordinate data for the
sale and maintenance of the contract. In addition, registered representatives
may be eligible for non-cash compensation programs offered by Capital Brokerage
Corporation or an affiliated company, such as conferences, trips, prizes and
awards. The amount of other cash and non-cash compensation paid by Capital
Brokerage Corporation or its affiliated companies ranges significantly among
the selling firms. Likewise, the amount received by Capital Brokerage
Corporation from the selling firms ranges significantly.
The commissions listed above are maximum commissions paid, and reflect
situations where we pay a higher commission for a short period of time for a
special promotion.
No specific charge is assessed directly to contract owners or the Separate
Account to cover commissions and other incentives or payments described above.
We do, however, intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses and
incentives we pay through fees and charges deducted under the contract and any
other corporate revenue.
All commissions, special marketing allowances and other payments made or
received by Capital Brokerage Corporation to or from selling firms come from or
are allocated to the general assets of Capital Brokerage Corporation or one of
its affiliated companies. Therefore, regardless of the amount paid or received
by Capital Brokerage Corporation or one of its affiliated companies, the amount
of expenses you pay under the contract does not vary because of such payments
to or from such selling firms.
Even though your contract costs are not determined based on amounts paid to or
received from Capital Brokerage Corporation or the selling firm, the prospect
of receiving, or the receipt of, additional cash or non-cash compensation as
described above may create an incentive for selling firms and/or their
registered representative to sell you this product versus a product with
respect to which a selling firm does not receive additional compensation, or a
lower level of additional compensation. You may wish to take such compensation
arrangements, which may be referred to as "revenue sharing arrangements," into
account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the
contracts.
During 2020, 2019 and 2018, $31 million, $33.9 million and $37.7 million,
respectively, was paid to Capital Brokerage Corporation for new purchase
payments received. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, no underwriting commissions were
paid to Capital Brokerage Corporation. This contract (RetireReady/SM/ Extra) is
no longer offered or sold.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Owner Questions
The obligations to owners under the contracts are ours. Please direct your
questions and concerns to us at our Home Office.
Return Privilege
Within the free-look period after you receive the contract, you may cancel it
for any reason by delivering or mailing it postage prepaid to:
Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company
Annuity New Business
6610 West Broad Street
Richmond, Virginia 23230
If you cancel your contract, it will be void, and we will send you a refund
computed as of that date. Your refund will be computed as follows:
(1) if your Contract Value has increased or has stayed the same, your refund
will equal your Contract Value, minus any Bonus Credits applied, but
plus any mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense
charges we deducted on or before the date we received the returned
contract;
(2) if your Contract Value has decreased, your refund will equal your
Contract Value, minus any Bonus Credits applied, but plus any mortality
and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges we deducted
on or before the date we received the returned contract and plus any
investment loss, including any charges made by the Portfolios,
attributable to Bonus Credits as of the date we received the returned
contract; or
(3) if required by the law of your state, your premium payments minus any
partial surrenders you previously have taken.
This means you receive any gains and we bear any losses attributable to the
Bonus Credits during the free look period.
146
We do not assess a surrender charge when your contract is canceled during the
free-look period.
State Regulation
As a life insurance company organized and operated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, we are subject to provisions governing life insurers
and to regulation by the Virginia Commissioner of Insurance.
Our books and accounts are subject to review and examination by the State
Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia at all times. That
Commission conducts a full examination of our operations at least every five
years.
Evidence of Death, Age, Gender, Marital Status or Survival
We may require proof of the age, gender, marital status or survival of any
person or persons before actions on any applicable contract provision.
Records and Reports
As presently required by the 1940 Act and applicable regulations, we are
responsible for maintaining all records and accounts relating to the Separate
Account. At least once each year, we will send you a report showing information
about your contract for the period covered by the report. The report will show
the total Contract Value and a break-down of the assets of each Subaccount and
the Guarantee Account. The report also will show premium payments and charges
made during the statement period. As discussed on the prospectus cover page,
beginning January 1, 2021 we will no longer send you paper copies of
shareholder reports for the Portfolios of the Funds offered under the contract
("Reports") unless you specifically request paper copies from us, and instead
we will make the Reports available on a website. In addition, you will receive
a written confirmation when you make premium payments, transfers, or take
partial surrenders.
Other Information
We have filed a Registration Statement with the SEC, under the Securities Act
of 1933 as amended, for the contracts being offered by this prospectus. This
prospectus does not contain all the information in the Registration Statement,
its amendments and exhibits. Please refer to the Registration Statement for
further information about the Separate Account, the Company, and the contracts
offered. Statements in this prospectus about the content of contracts and other
legal instruments are summaries. For the complete text of those contracts and
instruments, please refer to those documents as filed with the SEC and
available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
Exemption to File Periodic Reports
The Company does not intend to file periodic reports required under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule
12h-7 thereunder.
Unclaimed Property
Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare annuity
contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years
from the contract's maturity date or date the death benefit is due and payable.
For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, if
after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the beneficiary of the
death benefit, or the beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death
benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned
property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the
beneficiary or the contract owner last resided, as shown on our books and
records, or to our state of domicile. This "escheatment" is revocable, however,
and the state is obligated to pay the death benefit if your beneficiary steps
forward to claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent such escheatment,
it is important that you update your beneficiary designations, including full
names and complete addresses, if and as they change.
Cybersecurity
Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective
operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners, our
business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to
operational and information security risks resulting from information systems
failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), and cyberattacks. These
risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and
destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial
of service, attacks on websites and other operational disruption and
unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Such systems
failures and cyberattacks affecting us, any third party administrator, the
underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service
providers may adversely affect us and your Contract Value. For instance,
systems failures and cyberattacks may interfere with our processing of contract
transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the
underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values,
cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business
information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers
and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or cause
reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of
securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds
underlying your contract to lose value. There can be no
147
assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid
losses affecting your contract due to cyberattacks or information security
breaches in the future.
Natural and Man-Made Disasters
We are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters and
catastrophes, such as (but not limited to) storms, fires, floods, earthquakes,
public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts, any of which could
adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made
disaster or catastrophe, including a pandemic (such as COVID-19), could affect
the ability or willingness of our employees or the employees of our service
providers to perform their job responsibilities. Even if our employees and the
employees of our service providers are able to work remotely, those remote work
arrangements could result in our business operations being less efficient than
under normal circumstances and could lead to delays in our processing of
contract-related transactions, including orders from contract owners.
Catastrophic events may negatively affect the computer and other systems on
which we rely, may interfere with our ability to receive, pick up and process
mail, may interfere with our ability to calculate Contract Value, or may have
other possible negative impacts. These events may also impact the issuers of
securities in which the Portfolios invest, which may cause the Portfolios
underlying your contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or
the Portfolios or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid
negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters and
catastrophes.
We outsource certain critical business functions to third parties and, in the
event of a natural or man-made disaster, rely upon the successful
implementation and execution of the business continuity planning of such
entities. While we monitor the business continuity activities of these third
parties, successful implementation and execution of their business continuity
strategies are largely beyond our control. If one or more of the third parties
to whom we outsource such critical business functions experience operational
failures, our ability to administer the contract could be impaired.
Information Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted
in operational disruptions, as well as market volatility and general economic
uncertainty. To address operational disruptions in connection with the COVID-19
pandemic, we have implemented business continuity plans so we can continue to
provide services to our customers, even as many of our employees and the
employees of our service providers continue to work remotely. While these
efforts have been successful to date, we continue to be subject to risks that
could negatively impact our operations, including system failure, mail delivery
delays, unavailability of critical personnel due to illness or other reasons
related to the pandemic, and disruptions to service providers. Significant
market volatility and negative market returns have occurred during the COVID-19
pandemic. While we are confident in our ability to manage the financial risks
related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent and duration of such risks cannot
be predicted with certainty, and prolonged negative economic conditions could
have a negative impact on our financial condition. It is possible these risks
could impact our financial strength and claims-paying ability.
Legal Proceedings
We face the risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the
ordinary course of operating our businesses, including the risk of class action
lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific
to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries
in which we operate. In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may
become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other
things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, payment of
contingent or other sales commissions, claims payments and procedures, product
design, product disclosure, administration, additional premium charges for
premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging
excessive or impermissible fees on products and recommending unsuitable
products to customers. Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us
may seek very large or indeterminate amounts, which may remain unknown for
substantial periods of time. In our investment-related operations, we are
subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are
also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such
as our contractual and employment relationships and securities lawsuits. In
addition, we are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as
information requests, subpoenas, books and record examinations and market
conduct and financial examinations from state, federal and international
regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or a
significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we
ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we
could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc.
In Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. v. Bank of America National
Association, et al, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York,
Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. ("LBSF") seeks to recover from the
Company, as a noteholder defendant, sums it received from a collateralized debt
obligation ("CDO") note following the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers
148
Holdings, Inc. ("LBHI"), alleging that we and other unrelated noteholders (the
"Defendant Group") were not entitled to the amounts received. On June 28, 2016,
the Bankruptcy Court granted our motion to dismiss , the Bankruptcy Court's
order became final and appealable on January 24, 2017 , and no claims remain
against the Company. LBSF filed a notice of appeal on February 6, 2017. On
March 14, 2018, the District Court affirmed the decision of the Bankruptcy
Court. In a filing dated April 13, 2018, LBSF appealed the District Court's
decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Oral
argument occurred on June 26, 2019. On August 11, 2020, the Court of Appeals
for the Second Circuit issued a decision affirming the dismissal of this case.
Cost of Insurance Litigation
In September 2018, we were named as a defendant in a putative class action
lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia captioned TVPX ARX INC., et al v. Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance
Company, Case No. 3:18-cv-00637. Plaintiff seeks to represent life insurance
policyholders, alleging unlawful and excessive cost of insurance ("COI")
charges. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, alleging that we
improperly considered non-mortality factors when calculating COI rates and
failed to decrease COI charges in light of improved expectations of future
mortality, and seeks unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and equitable
relief.
On October 29, 2018, we filed a Motion to Enjoin in the Middle District of
Georgia, and a Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Stay in the Eastern District of
Virginia. We moved to enjoin the prosecution of the Eastern District of
Virginia action on the basis that it involves claims released in a prior
nationwide class action settlement that was approved by the Middle District of
Georgia. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on November 13, 2018. On
November 16, 2018, the Eastern District of Virginia court stayed the case for
60 days.
On December 6, 2018, we moved the Middle District of Georgia for leave to file
our counterclaim, which alleges that plaintiff breached the prior settlement
agreement by filing its current action. On January 17, 2019, the Eastern
District of Virginia court stayed the case for another 60 days or the date of
the Middle District of Georgia's ruling on our motions, whichever comes
earlier. A hearing on our Motion to Enjoin and Motion for Leave to file our
counterclaim occurred on February 21, 2019. On March 15, 2019, the Middle
District of Georgia granted our Motion to Enjoin and denied our Motion for
Leave to file our counterclaim. As such, plaintiff is enjoined from pursuing
its COI class action in the Eastern District of Virginia.
On March 29, 2019, plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal in the Middle District of
Georgia, notifying the Court of its appeal to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from the Order granting our Motion to Enjoin.
On March 29, 2019, we filed our Notice of Cross-Appeal in the Middle District
of Georgia, notifying the Court of our cross-appeal to the Eleventh Circuit
from the portion of the order denying our Motion for Leave to file our
counterclaim. On April 8, 2019, the Eastern District of Virginia lifted the
stay in the case and dismissed the case without prejudice, with leave for
plaintiff to refile an amended complaint only if a final appellate court
decision vacates the injunction and reverses the Middle District of Georgia's
opinion. On May 21, 2019, plaintiff filed its appeal and memorandum in support
in the Eleventh Circuit. We filed our response to plaintiff's appeal memorandum
and our memorandum in support of our cross-appeal on July 3, 2019. Plaintiff
filed its reply in support of its appeal and response to our cross-appeal on
August 20, 2019, and we filed our reply memorandum in support of our
cross-appeal on September 20, 2019. Plaintiff's appeal and our cross-appeal are
now fully briefed and waiting for disposition by the Eleventh Circuit. The
Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on plaintiff's appeal and
our cross-appeal on April 21, 2020. On May 26, 2020, the Eleventh Circuit Court
of Appeals vacated the Middle District of Georgia's order enjoining plaintiff's
class action and remanded the case back to the Middle District of Georgia for
further factual development as to whether we had altered how we calculate or
charge COI since the McBride settlement. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals
did not reach a decision on our counterclaim. We intend to continue to
vigorously defend the dismissal of the action.
On April 6, 2020, we were named as a defendant in a putative class action
lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia, captioned Brighton Trustees, LLC, et al v. Genworth Life and Annuity
Insurance Company. On May 13, 2020, we were also named as a defendant in a
putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia captioned Daubenmier, et al v. Genworth Life and
Annuity Insurance Company. On June 26, 2020, plaintiffs filed a consent motion
to consolidate the two cases. On June 30, 2020, the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia issued an order consolidating the
Brighton Trustees and Daubenmier cases. On July 17, 2020, the Brighton Trustees
and Daubenmier plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint, alleging that we
subjected policyholders to an unlawful and excessive COI increase. The
consolidated complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and injunctive
relief, and seeks damages in excess of $5 million. On August 31, 2020, we filed
an answer to plaintiffs' consolidated complaint. The trial is scheduled to
149
commence on April 1, 2022. We intend to vigorously defend this action.
On January 21, 2021, we were named as a defendant in a putative class action
lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon
captioned McMillan, et al , v. Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company,
Case No. 1:21-cv-00091. Plaintiff seeks to represent life insurance
policyholders with policies issued by Federal Home Life Insurance Company,
which subsequently merged with the Company on January 1, 2007. Plaintiff
alleges that we impermissibly calculated COI rates to be higher than that
permitted by plaintiff's policy. The complaint asserts claims for breach of
contract, conversion, and declaratory and injunctive relief, and seeks damages
in excess of $5 million. On April 5, 2021, we filed an answer to plaintiff's
complaint. We intend to vigorously defend this action.
Unclaimed Property
The West Virginia treasurer's office sued us and one of our affiliates, as well
as other life insurers licensed in West Virginia, regarding alleged violations
of unclaimed property requirements for West Virginia policies. We elected to
participate in the early alternative dispute resolution procedure outlined in
the trial court's post remand case management order and a first meeting to
mediate the matter was held on February 1, 2017. On December 16, 2020, the
parties settled this action for $120,000.
North Carolina Audit
On May 31, 2019, the Company and certain affiliates received draft audit
reports from the North Carolina Department of Revenue that examined tax credits
received for investing in certain renewal energy projects from the period
beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016. The Department of
Revenue alleges that these tax credits were improper transactions because the
Genworth entities were not bona fide partners of the investor/promotor
Stonehenge Capital Company, LLC. On July 15, 2019, we responded to the
Department of Revenue, stating that we intend to contest the disallowance of
the credits. On July 17, 2019, the Department of Revenue replied that their
position regarding their audit conclusions has not changed and that they will
proceed with finalizing the audit. On July 24, 2019, we received Notices of
Proposed Adjustments and tax assessments for the Company and certain of the
affiliates totaling $4.4 million from the Department of Revenue. On August 27,
2019, we submitted our NC-Form 242 Objection to these tax assessments. On
December 5, 2019, we received Notices of Proposed Adjustments and tax
assessments for the Company and Genworth Life Insurance Company totaling
approximately $600,000. On January 14, 2020, we submitted our NC-Form 242
Objection to these tax assessments. We intend to continue to vigorously defend
our position and any legal proceedings that may arise.
At this time, we cannot determine or predict the ultimate outcome of any of the
pending legal and regulatory matters specifically identified above or the
likelihood of potential future legal and regulatory matters against us. Except
as disclosed above, we also are not able to provide an estimate or range of
reasonably possible losses related to these matters. Therefore, we cannot
ensure that the current investigations and proceedings will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, it is possible that related investigations and proceedings may be
commenced in the future, and we could become subject to additional unrelated
investigations and lawsuits. Increased regulatory scrutiny and any resulting
investigations or proceedings could result in new legal precedents and
industry-wide regulations or practices that could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company shall, and may through insurance coverage, indemnify any directors
or officers who are a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or
she was or is a director or officer of the Company against any liability
incurred by him or her in connection with such proceeding unless he or she
engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any
federal or state securities law. Such indemnification covers all judgments,
settlements, penalties, fines and reasonable expenses incurred with respect to
such proceeding. If the person involved is not a director or officer of the
Company, the Company may indemnify, or contract to indemnify, to the same
extent allowed for its directors and officers, such person who was, is or may
become a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she is or
was an employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
150
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
Capital Brokerage Corporation is not in any pending or threatened lawsuits that
are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on us or on the
Separate Account.
Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have a material
adverse impact on the Separate Account, on our ability to meet our obligations
under the contracts, or on the ability of Capital Brokerage Corporation to
perform under its principal underwriting agreement, there can be no assurance
at this time.

APPENDIX A
Examples -- Death Benefit Calculations
Basic Death Benefit
The following examples are for contracts issued on or after the later of May 1,
2003, or the date on which state insurance authorities approve applicable
contract modifications.
The purpose of this example is to show how the Basic Death Benefit works based
on purely hypothetical values and is not intended to depict investment
performance of the contract.
Example: Assuming an owner:
(1) purchases a contract for $100,000;
(2) makes no additional premium payments and takes no partial surrenders;
(3) is not subject to premium taxes; and
(4) the Annuitant is age 75 on the Contract Date then:
Annuitant's End of Contract Basic
Age Year Value Death Benefit
-----------------------------------------
76 1 $103,000 $103,000
77 2 112,000 112,000
78 3 90,000 100,000
79 4 135,000 135,000
80 5 130,000 130,000
81 6 150,000 150,000
82 7 125,000 125,000
83 8 145,000 145,000
-----------------------------------------
Partial surrenders (including partial surrenders taken pursuant to the terms of
a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Rider) will reduce the Basic
Death Benefit by the proportion that the partial surrender (including any
applicable surrender charge and any premium tax assessed) reduces your Contract
Value. For example:
Premium Contract Basic
Date Payment Value Death Benefit
--------------------------------------
3/31/09 $20,000 $20,000 $20,000
3/31/17 20,000 20,000
3/31/18 14,000 20,000
--------------------------------------
If a partial surrender of $7,000 is taken on March 31, 2018, the Basic Death
Benefit immediately after the partial surrender will be $10,000 ($20,000 to
$10,000) since the Contract Value is reduced 50% by the partial surrender
($14,000 to $7,000).
This is true only if the Basic Death Benefit immediately prior to the partial
surrender (as calculated above) is not the Contract Value on the date we
receive due proof of the Annuitant's death. It also assumes that no surrender
charge applies, and that no premium tax applies to the partial surrender. This
example is based on purely hypothetical values and is not intended to depict
investment performance of the contract.
Annual Step-Up Death Benefit Rider Option
The following example shows how the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit works based on
hypothetical values. It is not intended to depict investment performance of the
contract. The example assumes that an owner purchases a contract with an
Annuitant age 75 at the time of issue. In addition, the example assumes that:
(1) the owner purchases the contract for $100,000;
(2) the owner makes no additional premium payments;
(3) the owner takes no partial surrenders; then
End of Annuitant's Contract Death
Year Age Value Benefit Amount
------------------------------------------
1 76 $103,000 $103,000
2 77 112,000 112,000
3 78 90,000 112,000
4 79 135,000 135,000
5 80 130,000 135,000
6 81 150,000 135,000
7 82 125,000 135,000
8 83 145,000 135,000
------------------------------------------
Partial surrenders (including partial surrenders taken pursuant to the terms of
a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Rider) will reduce the Annual
Step-Up Death Benefit by the proportion that the partial surrender (including
any surrender charge and any premium tax assessed) reduces your Contract Value.
5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option
The following example shows how the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option works
based on hypothetical values. It is not intended to depict investment
performance of the contract. The example assumes that an owner purchases a
contract with an Annuitant age 70 at the time of issue. In addition, the
example assumes that:
(1) the owner purchases the contract for $100,000;
(2) the contract earns a 0% net return (-3.05% net of fees for the mortality
and expense risk charge, administrative expense charge, underlying
mutual fund expenses and the 5% Rollup Death Benefit Rider Option);
A-1
(3) the owner makes no additional premium payments;
(4) the owner takes annual partial surrenders equal to 5% of premium
payments at end of the contract year; and
(5) the contract is not subject to premium taxes.
Partial
End of Annuitant's Withdrawal Contract 5% Rollup
Year Age Amount Value Death Benefit
----------------------------------------------------
0 70 $ 0 $100,000 $100,000
1 71 5,000 95,000 100,000
2 72 5,000 90,000 100,000
3 73 5,000 85,000 100,000
4 74 5,000 80,000 100,000
5 75 5,000 75,000 100,000
6 76 5,000 70,000 100,000
7 77 5,000 65,000 100,000
8 78 5,000 60,000 100,000
9 79 5,000 55,000 100,000
----------------------------------------------------
Partial surrenders amounting to 5% or less of premium payments annually will
reduce the 5% Rollup Death Benefit on a non pro-rata (dollar-for-dollar) basis.
Therefore, in the example above, though a $5,000 partial surrender is taken at
the end of year 1, the 5% Rollup Death Benefit immediately after the partial
surrender is still equal to $100,000 since the benefit is reduced only by the
same dollar amount of the partial surrender.
Partial surrenders exceeding 5% of premium payments in any year will reduce the
5% Rollup Death Benefit on a pro-rata basis (by the proportion that the partial
surrender, including any surrender charges, and any premium taxes assessed,
reduces your Contract Value). All partial surrenders that exceed the 5%
threshold will reduce the 5% Rollup Death Benefit on a pro-rata basis. For
example:
5% Rollup 5% Rollup
Death Benefit Death
Option Benefit
Before Any Option After
Purchase Partial Contract Partial the Partial
Date Payment Withdrawal Value Withdrawals Withdrawals
-----------------------------------------------------------------
3/31/2009 $10,000 $ 0 $10,000 $10,000 $10,000
3/31/2017 0 20,000 14,775 14,775
3/31/2018 7,000 14,000 15,513 7,785
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, if a $7,000 partial withdrawal is taken on March 31, 2018, $500 (5%
of $10,000) will reduce the 5% Rollup Death Benefit on a non pro-rata
(dollar-for-dollar) basis, to $15,013 ($15,513-$500). The remaining $6,500 of
the partial withdrawal will reduce the 5% Rollup Death Benefit immediately
after the partial withdrawal to $7,785 ($15,013 -- the 5% Rollup Death Benefit,
multiplied by 51.85% -- 1 minus the ratio of the partial withdrawal ($6,500) to
the Contract Value ($13,500), after reducing each by $500).
Earnings Protector Death Benefit Rider Option
The following example shows how the Earnings Protector Death Benefit works
based on purely hypothetical values. It is not intended to depict investment
performance of the contract. This example assumes an owner purchases a contract
with an Annuitant age 65 at the time of issue, and that he or she takes no
partial surrenders before the Annuitant's death.
Premium Contract Death Earnings Protector
Date Payment Value Gain Benefit Death Benefit
--------------------------------------------------------------
8/01/09 $100,000 $100,000 $ 0 $100,000 $ 0
8/01/24 300,000 200,000 300,000 70,000
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Annuitant's death and notification of the death occurs on 8/01/24. At that
time, 40% of the earnings or "gain" ($200,000) is $80,000. However, since the
Earnings Protector Death Benefit under this age scenario cannot exceed 70% of
the premium payments ($100,000) under this age scenario, the Earnings Protector
Death Benefit in this example will be $70,000.
The following examples are for contracts issued on or after the later of May
15, 2001, or the date on which state insurance authorities approve applicable
state modifications and prior to May 1, 2003, or prior to the date on which
state insurance authorities approve applicable contract modifications.
Basic Death Benefit
The purpose of this example is to show how the Basic Death Benefit works based
on purely hypothetical values and is not intended to depict investment
performance of the contract.
Example: Assuming an owner:
(1) purchases a contract for $100,000;
(2) makes no additional premium payments and takes no partial surrenders;
(3) is not subject to premium taxes; and
A-2
(4) the Annuitant is age 70 on the Contract Date then:
Annuitant's End of Contract Basic
Age Year Value Death Benefit
-----------------------------------------
71 1 $103,000 $103,000
72 2 110,000 110,000
73 3 80,000 110,000
74 4 120,000 120,000
75 5 130,000 130,000
76 6 150,000 150,000
77 7 160,000 160,000
78 8 130,000 160,000
79 9 90,000 160,000
80 10 170,000 170,000
81 11 140,000 170,000
82 12 190,000 190,000
83 13 150,000 170,000
-----------------------------------------
Partial surrenders will reduce the Basic Death Benefit by the proportion the
partial surrender (including any applicable surrender charge and any premium
tax assessed) reduces the Contract Value. For example:
Premium Contract Basic
Date Payment Value Death Benefit
--------------------------------------
3/31/09 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000
3/31/17 50,000 50,000
3/31/18 35,000 50,000
--------------------------------------
If a partial surrender of $17,500 is taken on March 31, 2018, the Basic Death
Benefit immediately after the partial surrender will be $25,000 ($50,000 to
$25,000) since the Contract Value is reduced 50% by the partial surrender
($35,000 to $17,500). This is true only if the Basic Death Benefit immediately
prior to the partial surrender (as calculated above) is not the Contract Value
on the date we receive due proof of the Annuitant's death. It also assumes that
surrender charge applies, and that no premium tax applies to the partial
surrender. This example is based on purely hypothetical values and is not
intended to depict investment performance of the contract.
The following examples are for contracts issued prior to May 15, 2001, or prior
to the date on which state insurance authorities approve applicable contract
modifications.
Basic Death Benefit
The purpose of this example is to show how the Basic Death Benefit works based
on purely hypothetical values and is not intended to depict investment
performance of the contract.
Example: Assuming an owner:
(1) purchases a contract for $100,000;
(2) makes no additional premium payments and takes no partial surrenders;
(3) is not subject to premium taxes; and
(4) the Annuitant's age is 70 on the Contract Date then:
Annuitant's End of Contract Unadjusted
Age Year Value Death Benefit
-----------------------------------------
71 1 $103,000 $103,000
72 2 110,000 110,000
73 3 80,000 110,000
74 4 120,000 120,000
75 5 130,000 130,000
76 6 150,000 150,000
77 7 160,000 160,000
78 8 130,000 160,000
79 9 90,000 160,000
80 10 170,000 170,000
81 11 140,000 170,000
82 12 190,000 190,000
83 13 150,000 170,000
-----------------------------------------
Partial surrenders will reduce the unadjusted death benefit by the proportion
that the partial surrender (including any applicable surrender charge and any
premium tax assessed) reduces the Contract Value. For example:
Premium Contract Unadjusted
Date Payment Value Death Benefit
--------------------------------------
3/31/09 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000
3/31/17 50,000 50,000
3/31/18 35,000 50,000
--------------------------------------
If a partial surrender of $17,500 is taken on March 31, 2018, the unadjusted
death benefit immediately after the partial surrender will be $25,000 ($50,000
to $25,000) since the Contract Value is reduced 50% by the partial surrender
($35,000 to $17,500). This is true only if the unadjusted death benefit
immediately prior to the partial surrender (as calculated above) is not the
Contract Value on the date of the Annuitant's death. It also assumes that no
premium tax applies to the partial surrender. This example is based on purely
hypothetical values and is not intended to depict investment performance of the
contract.
A-3
Optional Enhanced Death Benefit
The following example shows how the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit works based
on purely hypothetical values. It is not intended to depict investment
performance of the contract.
This example assumes an owner purchases a contract with an Annuitant age 65 at
the time of issue, and that he takes no partial surrenders before the
Annuitant's death.
Contract Death Optional Enhanced
Date Premium Value Gain Benefit Death Benefit
-------------------------------------------------------------
8/01/09 $100,000 $100,000 $ 0 $100,000 $ 0
8/01/24 300,000 200,000 300,000 70,000
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Annuitant's death and notification of the death occur on 8/01/24. At that
time, 40% of the earnings or "gain" ($200,000) is $80,000. However, since the
Optional Enhanced Death Benefit cannot exceed 70% of the premiums paid
($100,000) under this age scenario, the Optional Enhanced Death Benefit in this
example will be $70,000.
