Overview of the contract
Purpose. The Contract is a Variable Annuity Contract, which is available on both a group and individual basis. It provides a means for investing in Our Fixed Account and the Funding Options, together “investment options.” The Contract is designed generally for an investor who intends to hold the Contract for a long period of time and then use the Contract Value (in the form of Annuity Payments or certain withdrawals) for retirement saving or other long-term investment purposes. The Contract is used in connection with (1) individual non-qualified purchases; (2) rollovers from individual retirement annuities; (3) rollovers from other qualified retirement Plans; and (4) Beneficiary-directed transfers of death proceeds from another Contract. The Contract has various features and benefits that may be appropriate for You based on Your financial situation and objectives. The Contract includes certain death benefit features, which can be used to transfer assets to Your Beneficiaries. If You are investing in this Contract through a Plan or individual retirement account, it does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the Plan or individual retirement account. Accordingly, if You are investing in this Contract through a Plan or individual retirement account, You should consider investing in the Contract for its death benefit, Annuity option benefits or other non-tax related benefits. Your financial goal in acquiring the Contract should take into account the fact that there are withdrawal charges under the Contract. Because of the withdrawal charge (which is in effect for many years) and the possibility of income tax and tax penalties on early withdrawals, the Contract should not be viewed as an investment vehicle offering low cost liquidity. Your financial goal in acquiring the Contract should focus on a long-term insurance product, offering the prospect of investment growth.
Phases of the Contract. The Contract has two phases: The Accumulation Period and the Annuity Period. During the Accumulation Period , earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when You make a withdrawal. To help You accumulate assets during the Accumulation Period, You can invest Your Purchase Payments and Contract Value in: (1) Funding Options available under the Contract, each of which has an Underlying Fund with its own investment strategies and risks; investment adviser(s); expense ratio; and performance history; and (2) the Fixed Account option, which guarantees principal and interest.
A list of Underlying Funds in which You can invest is provided in Appendix A.
The Annuity Period occurs when You begin receiving Annuity Payments from Your Contract. The amount of money You accumulate in Your Contract during the Accumulation Period factors into the amount of income You receive during the Annuity Period. You may choose one of a number of Annuity options: You may receive income payments in the form of
7
a Variable Annuity, a Fixed Annuity, or a combination of both. In general, You are unable to take withdrawals during the Annuity Period. There is no death benefit during the Annuity Period ; however, depending on the Annuity option You elect, any remaining guarantee upon death may be paid to Your Beneficiary(ies).
Contract Features. The following is a brief description of the Contract’s primary features.
Subject to Plan Terms. If You participate through a retirement Plan or other group arrangement, the Contract may provide that all or some of Your rights or choices are subject to the Plan’s terms. For example, limitations on Your rights may apply to Funding Options, Purchase Payments, withdrawals, transfers, loans, the death benefit and Annuity options.
Accessing Your Money. Before You annuitize the Contract, You can withdraw money from Your Contract at any time. If You take a withdrawal, You may have to pay a withdrawal charge and/or income taxes, including a tax penalty if You are younger than age 59 ½.
Tax Treatment. You can transfer money among investment options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on Your investments are generally tax-deferred. You are only subject to tax upon: (1) making a withdrawal; (2) receiving a payment from Us; or (3) payment of a death benefit.
Death Benefit. The Contract includes, at no additional cost, a standard death benefit that will pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary(ies) if You die during the Accumulation Period . The death benefit is at least equal to the Contract Value (less any amounts due such as a Premium Tax or outstanding loan amounts), and may be greater under certain circumstances.
Variable Liquidity Benefit. If You elect the Annuity option “Payments for a Fixed Period (Term Certain)” for the Annuity Period, You may exercise the Variable Liquidity Benefit during the Annuity Period. This benefit allows You to take withdrawals during the Annuity Period based on the present value of Your remaining Annuity Payments. Such withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate remaining Annuity Payments and may be subject to withdrawal charges.

We no longer actively offer the Contractss to new purchasers, but We continue to accept new Participants under existing Contractss previously issued to Plans. We issue individual Certificates to Participants under a Plan’s Contract. We refer to both Contracts and Certificates as “Contracts” unless the context provides otherwise. If Your Plan has the Contract and You are interested in becoming a Participant, please contact Your Plan Trustee or Plan Administrator.
The Contract is available for purchase to owners and Annuitants age 80 or under as of the Contract Date. If this Contract is purchased through a qualified Plan, the maximum age is 70 ½.
A Purchase Payment is the money You give Us to invest in the Contract. The initial Purchase Payment is due on the date the Contract becomes effective. Subsequent Purchase Payments may be made at any time during the Accumulation Period, subject to certain limitations.
Under a Plan’s Contract, the minimum average Purchase Payment amount is $20 per Participant. We may refuse to accept total Purchase Payments over $1,000,000. Your ability to make Purchase Payments may also be restricted by law and may be subject to Plan requirements.
Allocation of Purchase Payments
We will allocate Your Purchase Payments to one or more of the Funding Options and/or to the Fixed Account in accordance with Your instructions. Where permitted by law, We reserve the right to restrict Purchase Payments into the Fixed Account whenever the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified under the Contract.
Crediting Purchase Payments to Your Account
Initial Purchase Payment. We will apply the initial Purchase Payment less any applicable Premium Tax within two Business Days after We receive it at Our Home Office in Good Order. If Your request or other information accompanying the initial Purchase Payment is incomplete when received, We will hold the Purchase Payment for up to five Business Days. If We cannot obtain the necessary information within five Business Days of Our receipt, We will return the Purchase Payment in full, unless You specifically consent for Us to keep it until You provide the necessary information.
Subsequent Purchase Payments. We will credit subsequent Purchase Payments to a Contract on the same Business Day We receive it, if received in Good Order by Our Home Office prior to close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). If We receive the Purchase Payment in Good Order after close of the New York Stock Exchange, We will credit the Purchase Payment to the Contract on the next Business Day. If Purchase Payments on Your behalf are not submitted to Us in a timely manner or in Good Order, there may be a delay in when amounts are credited.
We will provide You with the address of the office to which Purchase Payments are to be sent. If You send Purchase Payments or transaction requests to an address other than the one We have designated for receipt of such Purchase Payments or requests, they will not be in Good Order. We may return the Purchase Payment to You, or there may be a delay in applying the Purchase Payment or transaction to Your Contract.
11
Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract
During the Accumulation Period, We will pay upon request all or any portion of Your Cash Surrender Value to the Contract Owner or to You, as provided in the Plan. A Contract Owner’s account may be surrendered for cash without the consent of any Participant, as provided in the Plan.
To the extent that the amount withdrawn is subject to a withdrawal charge, the charge will be assessed as a percentage of the Purchase Payments withdrawn. Beginning in the second Contract Year, You may withdraw up to 10% of the Contract Value annually without the imposition of any applicable withdrawal charges. We refer to this as Your free withdrawal allowance. We calculate the free withdrawal allowance as of the end of the previous Contract Year. There is no free withdrawal allowance in the first Contract Year.
There are limitations on Your ability to take withdrawals during the Accumulation Period. These limitations are as follows: 
Withdrawal Charges and Taxes
There may be withdrawal charges and tax implications
when You take out money.
Negative impact on benefits and guarantees of Your
A withdrawal may have a negative impact on certain
benefits and guarantees that You may elect. It may
significantly reduce the value or even terminate the
benefit.
Internal Revenue Code or Retirement Plan
Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue
Code or Your retirement plan may restrict Your ability to
take withdrawals.
During the Annuity Period, You will receive Annuity Payments under the Annuity option You select; however, You generally may not take any withdrawals, either full or partial. If You elect the Annuity option “Payments for a Fixed Period (Term Certain)” for the Annuity Period, You may exercise the Variable Liquidity Benefit during the Annuity Period. This benefit allows You to take withdrawals during the Annuity Period based on the present value of Your remaining Annuity Payments. Such withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate remaining Annuity Payments and may be subject to withdrawal charges.
We will calculate your Annuity Payments by applying your Contract Value to the type of Annuity you select, Fixed, Variable or a combination of both, and the Annuity option you select.
Requesting a Withdrawal
You can request to withdraw all or part of Your Cash Surrender Value by submitting a request to Our Home Office. We will treat Your request as received by Us if We receive the request in Good Order before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day. If We receive the request in Good Order after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day, or if the New York Stock Exchange is not open that day, then the request will be treated as received on the next day when the New York Stock Exchange is open.
The Contract Owner may redeem all or any portion of the Cash Surrender Value any time before the Maturity Date. Unless You submit a Written Request specifying the Fixed Account or Funding Option(s) from which We are to withdraw amounts, We will make the withdrawal on a pro rata basis. The Cash Surrender Value will be determined as of the close of business after We receive Your surrender request at Our Home Office in Good Order. The Cash Surrender Value may be more or less than the Purchase Payments You made. See “Access to Your Money” in the prospectus for more details.
Surrender and withdrawal payments will generally be mailed within seven days after We receive the request.

These examples are intended to help You compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Transaction Expenses, Annual Contract Expenses, and Annual Underlying Fund Expenses.
These examples assume that You invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that Your investment has a 5% return each year. Additionally, these examples are based on the Minimum and Maximum Total Annual Underlying Fund Expenses shown above, and do not reflect any Underlying Fund fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The example assumes that You have allocated all of Your Contract Value to either the Underlying Fund with the Maximum Total Annual Underlying Fund Expenses or the Underlying Fund with the Minimum Total Annual Underlying Fund Expenses.
