Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract
FEES AND EXPENSESLocation in Prospectus
Charges for Early Withdrawals
Your Contract may be subject to surrender charges. Surrender charges may apply to both partial and full Surrenders.
If you withdraw money from your contract within 9 years following your last premium payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge of up to 8% (as a percentage if premium payments withdrawn), declining to 0% over that time period.
For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 during a surrender charge period, you could be assessed a charge of up to $8,000.
If you receive services for your Contract from a third-party financial intermediary who charges an advisory fee for their services, withdrawals to pay advisory fees will also reduce death benefits and other guaranteed benefits under the Contract and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.

Not a Short-Term Investment
This contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
Surrender charges may apply to withdrawals. If you take a withdrawal, a surrender charge may reduce the value of your contract or the amount of money that you actually receive.
The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefit guarantees mean the contract is generally more beneficial to investors with a long-time horizon.
A 10% penalty tax may be applied to Surrenders before age 59½.
Risks Associated with Investment Options
An investment in this contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the contract (e.g., the Funds).
Each investment option (including the FAF, if available) has its own unique risks.
You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.
Insurance Company RisksAn investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to us. Any obligations (including under the FAF), guarantees or benefits of the contract are subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you.

RESTRICTIONSLocation in Prospectus
Investment Options
Certain investment options may not be available under your contract.
You are allowed to make 1 transfer between the fund options per day. You are allowed to make 20 transfers between the fund options per year before we require you to submit additional transfer requests by mail. Your transfer between the fund options are subject to policies designed to deter excessively frequent transfers and market timing. These transfer restrictions do not apply to transfers under the contract's automatic transfer programs.
There are restrictions on the maximum amount that may be transferred annually from the FAF to the fund options. If the FAF is available for investment, you must wait 6 months after your most recent transfer from the FAF before making a subsequent transfer into the FAF. These transfer restrictions may apply to the contract's automatic income programs.
We reserve the right to remove or substitute funds as investment options.
