Are There
Charges or
Adjustments
for Early
Withdrawals?
|
Yes, your Contract is subject to charges for early withdrawals. If you withdraw money from
the Contract within six years of your last Purchase Payment, you will
be assessed a
withdrawal charge of up to 8% of the Purchase Payment withdrawn, declining to
0% over
that time period. For example, if you invest $100,000
in the Contract and make an early
withdrawal, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to
$8,000. This loss will be greater if
there is a negative Daily Adjustment, income taxes, or
tax penalties.
In addition, if you take a full or partial withdrawal
from an Index Option on a date other than
the Term End Date, a Daily Adjustment will apply to the
Index Option Value available for
withdrawal. The Daily Adjustment also applies if before
the Term End Date you take Income
Payments, you execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize
the Contract, we pay a death
benefit, or we deduct Contract fees and expenses. The
Daily Adjustment may be negative
depending on the applicable Crediting Method. You will
lose money if the Daily Adjustment
is negative.
●Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy,
and Index Performance Strategy. Daily Adjustments under these Crediting Methods
may be positive, negative, or equal to zero. A
negative Daily Adjustment will result in a
loss, and could result in a loss beyond the protection
of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer;
or -10% Floor, as applicable. The maximum potential
loss from a negative Daily
Adjustment is: -99% for the Index Dual Precision
Strategy, Index Precision Strategy,
and Index Performance Strategy; and -35% for the Index
Guard Strategy. For
example, if you allocate $100,000 to a 1-year Term
Index Option with 10% Buffer and
later withdraw the entire amount before the Term has
ended, you could lose up to
$99,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater
if you also have to pay a
withdrawal charge, income taxes, and tax penalties.
●Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap.
Daily Adjustments under these Crediting Methods may be
positive or equal to zero, but
cannot be negative.

Are There
Ongoing Fees
and
Expenses?
|
Yes, there are ongoing fees and expenses. The table below describes the fees and
expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the
options you choose. Please refer
to your Contract specifications page for information
about the specific fees you will pay
each year based on the options you have elected.
There is an implicit ongoing fee on
Index Options to the extent that your participation
in Index gains is limited by us
through a Cap or Trigger Rate. This means that your
returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In
return for accepting this limit on Index
gains, you will receive some protection from Index
losses. This implicit ongoing fee is not
reflected in the tables below. Additionally, if we add Index Options with a guaranteed
minimum Participation Rate less than
100%, the Participation Rate would be an
implicit ongoing fee and limit Index
gains.

|
Is There a Risk
of Loss from
Poor
Performance?
|
Yes, you can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal and
previous earnings.
The maximum amount of loss that you
could experience from negative Index Return,
after taking into account the current
limits on Index loss provided under the
Contract, is: -90% with a 10% Buffer;
-80% with a 20% Buffer; -70% with a 30% Buffer;
-10% with the Floor; and 0% with the
Index Protection Strategy with Cap and Index
Protection Strategy with Trigger.
The limits on Index loss offered under
the Contract may change from one Term to the
next if we add an Index Option or
discontinue accepting new allocations into an
Index Option. However, at least one
Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or
Floor no lower than -25%, or an Index
Option that provides complete protection from
Index losses, will always be available
for renewal under the Contract.

|
Is This a
Short-Term
Investment?
|
No, this Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate if you need ready
access to cash.
• Considering the benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefit guarantees,
the Contract is generally more beneficial to investors
with a long investment time horizon.
• Withdrawals are subject to income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional
federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2.
• If, within six years after we receive a Purchase Payment, you take a full or partial
withdrawal, withdrawal charges will apply. A
withdrawal charge will reduce your Contract
Value or the amount of money that you actually
receive. Withdrawals may reduce or end
Contract guarantees.
• Amounts invested in an Index Option must be held in the Index Option for the full Term
before they can receive a Performance Credit. We apply
a Daily Adjustment if, before the
Term End Date, you take a full or partial withdrawal,
you take Income Payments, you
execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize the
Contract, we pay a death benefit, or we
deduct Contract fees and expenses.
• The Daily Adjustment may be negative with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index
Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index
Performance Strategy. You will lose
money if the Daily Adjustment is negative.
• Withdrawals and other deductions from an Index Option prior to a Term End Date will
result in a proportionate reduction to your Index
Option Base. The proportionate reduction
could be greater than the amount withdrawn or
deducted. Reductions to your Index
Option Base will result in lower Index Option Values
for the remainder of the Term and
lower gains (if any) on the Term End Date.
• On the Term End Date, you can transfer assets invested in an Index Option by changing
your allocation instructions. If you do not change
your allocation instructions, you will
continue to be invested in the same Index Option with
a new Term Start Date. The new
Term will be subject to the applicable renewal Trigger
Rate, Cap, and/or Participation
Rate.

What are the
Risks
Associated
with the
Investment
Options?
|
• An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and
can vary depending on the performance of the Variable
Option and the Index Options
available under the Contract.
• The Variable Option and each Index Option have their own unique risks.
• You should review the Fund’s prospectus and disclosures, including risk factors, before
making an investment decision.
• Caps and Trigger Rates will limit positive Performance Credits (e.g., limited upside). This
may result in earning less than the
Index Return.
– For example, if at the end of a 1-year Term, the Index Return is 25% and the Cap is
15%, we apply a Performance Credit of 15%, meaning
your Contract Value allocated
to that Index Option will increase by 15% since the
Term Start Date. If at the end of the
Term, the Index Return is 6% and the Trigger Rate is
3%, we apply a Performance
Credit of 3%, meaning your Contract Value allocated
to that Index Option will increase
by 3% since the Term Start Date.
• The Buffer or Floor will limit negative Performance Credits (e.g., limited protection in the
case of Index decline). However, you bear the risk for all Index losses that exceed
the Buffer. You also bear the risk
for Index losses down to the Floor.
– For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is -25% and the Buffer is 10%,
we apply a Performance Credit of -15%, meaning your
Contract Value allocated to that
Index Option will decrease by 15% since the Term
Start Date. If the Index Return is
-25% and the Floor is -10%, we apply a Performance
Credit of -10%, meaning your
Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will
decrease by 10% since the Term
Start Date.
• The Indexes are price return indexes, not total return indexes. This means that the Index
Options do not receive any dividends payable on these
securities. The Index Options also
do not directly participate in the returns of the
Indexes or the Indexes’ component
securities. This will reduce the Index Return and may
cause the Index to underperform a
direct investment in the securities composing the
Index.

|
Are There
Restrictions on
the Investment
Options?
|
Yes, there are limits on the Investment Options.
• The availability of Investment Options may vary depending on the broker-dealer through
which the Contract is sold (see Appendix H).
• We can add new Index Options to your Contract in the future.
• You cannot allocate Purchase Payments to the Variable Option. The sole purpose of the
Variable Option is to hold Purchase Payments until
they are transferred to your selected
Index Options.
• We restrict additional Purchase Payments during the Accumulation Phase. Each Index
Year before the Income Period, you cannot add more
than your initial amount (i.e., the
total of all Purchase Payments received before the
first Quarterly Contract Anniversary of
the first Contract Year) without our prior approval.
• We do not accept additional Purchase Payments during the Income Period (which is part
of the Accumulation Phase) or the Annuity Phase.
• We typically only allow assets to move into the Index Options on the Index Effective Date
and on subsequent Index Anniversaries as discussed in
section 3, Purchasing the
Contract – Allocation of Purchase Payments and
Contract Value Transfers. However, if
you execute an Early Reallocation, we will move assets
into an Index Option on the
Business Day we receive your Early Reallocation
request in Good Order. Additionally, if
you begin Income Payments under your selected income
benefit on a day other than an
Index Anniversary, any Purchase Payments held in the
Variable Option will be transferred
to the 1-year Term Index Options you select.
• You can typically transfer Index Option Value only on Term End Dates. However, you can
transfer assets out of an Index Option before the Term
End Date by first executing a
Performance Lock and then either requesting an Early
Reallocation with new allocation
instructions or changing your allocation instructions
before the next Index Anniversary.
For more information, see “Performance Locks” and
“Early Reallocations” in section 6,
Valuing Your Contract.
• We do not allow assets to move into an established Index Option until the Term End Date.
If you request to allocate a Purchase Payment into an
established Index Option on an
Index Anniversary that is not a Term End Date, we will
allocate those assets to the same
Index Option with a new Term Start Date.
• We reserve the right to substitute the Fund in which the Variable Option invests. We also
reserve the right to close Index Options to new
Purchase Payments and transfers, and to
substitute Indexes either on a Term Start Date or
during a Term.
• We may terminate your ability to make additional Purchase Payments during the
Accumulation Phase because we reserve the right to
decline any or all Purchase
Payments at any time on a nondiscriminatory basis.
• Caps, Trigger Rates, and Participation Rates will change from one Term to the next
subject to their contractual minimum guarantees.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers, and -10% Floors for the currently available Index
Options do not change. However, if we add a new Index
Option to your Contract after the
Issue Date, we establish the Buffer or Floor for it on
the date we add the Index Option to
your Contract. For a new Index Option, the minimum
Buffer is 5% and the minimum Floor
is -25%.

Are There Any
Restrictions on
Contract
Benefits?
|
Yes, there are restrictions on Contract benefits.
• The availability of Contract benefits may vary depending on the broker-dealer through
which the Contract is sold (see Appendix H).
• We do not allow Performance Locks to occur on Term End Dates. We will not execute
your request for a Performance Lock on Index
Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index
Protection Strategy with Cap Index Options if the
Daily Adjustment is zero. This may limit
your ability to take advantage of the benefits of the
Early Reallocation feature. We do not
accept Early Reallocation requests within 14 calendar
days before an Index Anniversary.
You are limited to 24 Early Reallocation requests each
Index Year.
• We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the Minimum Distribution Program.
• The death benefits and your selected income benefit are only available during the
Accumulation Phase. Upon annuitization, these benefits
will end.
• The Income Benefit and Legacy+TM
Income Benefit terms stated in the Income Benefit
Supplement may be modified before issue. A minimum
waiting period applies before
Income Payments may be taken under either income
benefit, and we do not allow Income
Payments to begin within 14 calendar days before an
Index Anniversary. In addition, even
if the waiting period has expired, Income Payments
cannot begin before age 50. During
the Income Period, only the 1-year Term Index Options
are available to you. Withdrawals
will reduce the initial annual maximum Income Payment.
Withdrawals that exceed limits
specified by the terms of your selected income benefit
(including Excess Withdrawals and
Legacy Withdrawals, if applicable) will reduce your
future annual maximum Income
Payment. These reductions may be greater than the
value withdrawn and could end the
benefit. After the Issue Date, your selected income
benefit may terminate under certain
circumstances as stated in section 11, Income
Benefits.
• If you elect Dynamic Income, the annual maximum Income Payment may decline due to
negative Index Option performance if you allocate to
the Index Dual Precision Strategy,
Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or
Index Performance Strategy Index
Options. Such negative returns may significantly
reduce the annual maximum Income
Payment.
• The Traditional Death Benefit may not be modified, but it will terminate if you take
withdrawals (including Income Payments) that reduce
both the Contract Value and
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to zero. Withdrawals
may reduce the Traditional Death
Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by more than
the value withdrawn and could
end the Traditional Death Benefit.
• The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is not available if you select the
Legacy+TM
Income Benefit. The optional Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit may
not be modified. Withdrawals (including Income
Payments) may reduce the Maximum
Anniversary Value Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death
Benefit Value by more than the
value withdrawn and will end the Maximum Anniversary
Value Death Benefit if the
withdrawals reduce both the Contract Value and
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to zero.

Should I
Exchange my
Contract?
|
Whether to exchange your existing Contract for a new
contract is a decision that each
investor should make based on their personal
circumstances and financial objectives.
However, in making this decision you should be aware
that some Financial Professionals
may have a financial incentive to offer you a new
contract in place of one you already own.
You should only exchange your Contract if you
determine, after comparing the features,
risks, and fees of both contracts, including any fees
or penalties to terminate your existing
Contract, that it is better for you to purchase the new
contract rather than continue to own
your existing Contract.

|
UPON THE DEATH OF A SOLE OWNER
|
|
|
Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase
|
Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
|
|
• We pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary unless the
Beneficiary is the surviving spouse and continues the Contract.
Your selected income benefit and any Income Payments will
also end unless the Beneficiary is both a surviving spouse and
either an Eligible Person (if Income Payments have not begun)
or a Covered Person (if Income Payments have begun).
• If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life and the
surviving spouse Beneficiary continues the Contract:
– we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the
death benefit ends,
– the surviving spouse becomes the new Owner,
– if Income Payments have not begun the Accumulation
Phase continues,
– if Income Payments have begun they can only continue if
the surviving spouse is a Covered Person; otherwise your
selected income benefit ends, and
– upon the surviving spouse’s death, his or her
Beneficiary(ies) receives the Contract Value if you
selected the Income Benefit, or the greater of Contract
Value or Legacy Value if you selected the Legacy+TM
Income Benefit.
• If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life, the sole
Covered Person, and you selected the Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) receives the Contract Value or the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value if greater and available. However, if you
selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, the Beneficiary(ies)
instead receives the greater of Contract Value, Legacy Value,
or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, if greater and
available.
• If the deceased Owner was not a Determining Life, the
Traditional Death Benefit or Maximum Anniversary Value Death
Benefit are not available and the Beneficiary(ies) receives the
Contract Value. However, if you selected the Legacy+TM
Income Benefit and the deceased Owner was the last surviving
Covered Person, the Beneficiary(ies) receives the greater of
Contract Value, or Legacy Value.
|
• The Beneficiary becomes the Payee. If we are still required to
make Annuity Payments under the selected Annuity Option, the
Beneficiary also becomes the new Owner.
• If the deceased was not an Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the
Payee continue. No death benefit is payable.
• If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity
Payments end or continue as follows.
– Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the
guaranteed period ends.
– Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. If Income
Payments were converted to Annuity Payments under
Annuity Option B or F, we will also pay any remaining
value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
– For more information on the Annuity Options, please see
section 9.
• If the deceased was an Annuitant and there is a surviving joint
Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue during the
lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. No death benefit is
payable.
• For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments generally must
end no later than the end of the year containing the 10th
anniversary of the Owner's death. However, in certain
situations, payments may need to end earlier.
|
|
● FOR JOINTLY OWNED CONTRACTS: The sole primary
Beneficiary is the surviving Joint Owner regardless of
any other named primary Beneficiaries. If both Joint Owners
die within 120 hours of each other, we pay the death
benefit to the named surviving primary Beneficiaries. If
there are no named surviving primary Beneficiaries, we pay
the death benefit to the named surviving contingent
Beneficiaries, or equally to the estate of the Joint Owners if there
are no named surviving contingent Beneficiaries.
|
|
● NAMING AN ESTATE AS A BENEFICIARY: If an estate is
the Beneficiary, the estate must be the sole primary
Beneficiary, unless the Spouse is the sole primary
Beneficiary. If the Spouse is the sole primary Beneficiary, then an
estate can be a contingent Beneficiary.
|
|
● An assignment may be a taxable event. In addition, there are other
restrictions on changing the ownership of a
Qualified Contract and Qualified Contracts generally cannot
be assigned absolutely or on a limited basis. You should
consult with your tax
adviser before assigning this Contract.
|
|
● An assignment will only change the Determining Life (Lives) if it involves removing a Joint Owner due to
divorce, replacing Joint Owners with a
Trust, or adding a Joint Owner if that person is a spouse within the
meaning of federal tax law of the existing
Owner.
|
|
On your application if you select…
|
Your Index Effective Date will be either…
|
|
the earliest Index Effective Date
|
• your Issue Date, or

Credits. As a result, you could lose a significant amount of money in the
form of negative Performance Credits if an
Index declines in value. The maximum potential negative
Performance Credit is:
-90% with a 10% Buffer; -80% with a 20% Buffer; -70% with a 30% Buffer; and -10%
with the Floor.
|
|
● Because we calculate Index Returns only on a single date in time, you may experience negative or flat
performance even though the Index you
selected for a given Crediting Method experienced gains through
some, or most, of the Term.
|
|
● If an Index Performance Strategy Index Option is “uncapped” for one Term (i.e., we do not declare a Cap for
that Term) it does not mean that we will
not declare a Cap for it on future Term Start Dates. On the next Term
Start Date we can declare a Cap for the next Term, or
declare it to be uncapped.

|
What is the asset protection?
|
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger
|
• Most protection.
• If the Index loses value, the Performance Credit is zero. You do not receive a negative Performance
Credit.
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Cap
|
• Most protection.
• If the Index loses value, the Performance Credit is zero. You do not receive a negative Performance
Credit.
|
|
Index Dual Precision
Strategy
|
• Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection Strategy with Cap,
and Index Guard Strategy. Protection on the Index Dual
Precision Strategy 1-year Term is equal to or
greater than what is available with the Index Precision
Strategy depending on the Index Option. Offers
the same protection levels as the Index Performance
Strategy.
• Buffer absorbs 10%, 20%, or 30% of loss, but you receive a negative Performance Credit for losses
greater than the Buffer.
• Potential for large losses in any Term.
• More sensitive to large negative market movements because small or moderate negative market
movements within the applicable 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer
result in a positive Performance Credit. In
a period of extreme negative market performance, the risk
of loss is greater with the Index Dual
Precision Strategy than with the Index Guard Strategy.
• In extended periods of moderate to large negative market performance, 3-year and 6-year Terms may
provide less protection than the 1-year Terms because, in
part, the Buffer is applied over a longer
period of time.
|
|
Index Precision Strategy
|
• Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection Strategy with Cap,
and Index Guard Strategy. Protection may be equal to or
less than what is available with the Index
Dual Precision Strategy and Index Performance Strategy
depending on the Index Option.
• Buffer absorbs 10% of loss, but you receive a negative Performance Credit for losses greater than
10%.
• Potential for large losses in any Term.
• More sensitive to large negative market movements because small negative market movements are
absorbed by the 10% Buffer. In a period of extreme
negative market performance, the risk of loss is
greater with the Index Precision Strategy than with the
Index Guard Strategy.
|
|
What is the asset protection?
|
|
|
Index Guard Strategy
|
• Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with
Cap, but more than Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index
Precision Strategy, and Index Performance
Strategy.
• Permits a negative Performance Credit down to the -10% Floor.
• Protection from significant losses.
• More sensitive to smaller negative market movements that persist over time because the -10% Floor
reduces the impact of large negative market movements.
• In an extended period of smaller negative market returns, the risk of loss is greater with the Index
Guard Strategy than with the Index Dual Precision
Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, and Index
Performance Strategy.
• Provides certainty regarding the maximum loss in any Term.
|
|
Index Performance
Strategy
|
• Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection Strategy with Cap,
and Index Guard Strategy. 1-year Term Index Options with
a 10% Buffer provide the same protection
as the Index Precision Strategy. The 20% and 30% Buffers
provide more protection than what is
available with the Index Precision Strategy. Offers the
same protection levels as the Index Dual
Precision Strategy.
• Buffer absorbs 10%, 20%, or 30% of loss depending on the Index Option you select, but you receive
a negative Performance Credit for losses greater than the
Buffer.
• Potential for large losses in any Term.
• More sensitive to large negative market movements because small or moderate negative market
movements are absorbed by the Buffer. In a period of
extreme negative market performance, the risk
of loss is greater with the Index Performance Strategy
than with the Index Guard Strategy.
• In extended periods of moderate to large negative market performance, 3-year and 6-year Terms may
provide less protection than the 1-year Terms because, in
part, the Buffer is applied over a longer
period of time.

|
What is the growth opportunity?
|
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Trigger Rates.
• May perform best in periods of small positive market movements relative to the other Crediting
Methods, because such small positive market movements may
result in positive Performance Credits
that are greater than the Index Return while also
providing complete protection from any Index losses.
May have lower return potential compared to other
Crediting Methods.
• These Trigger Rates will generally be less than Caps, and Index Precision Strategy's Trigger Rates.
Growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index
Dual Precision Strategy depending on Trigger
Rates.
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Cap
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Caps.
• May perform best in periods of small positive market movements relative to the other Crediting
Methods, because such small positive market movements
would result in positive Performance
Credits while also providing complete protection from any
Index losses.
• Generally more growth opportunity than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, but less than the
Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index
Performance Strategy. Growth opportunity
may be more or less than the Index Dual Precision
Strategy depending on Caps and Trigger Rates.
• Caps will generally be greater than the Trigger Rates for Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, but
less than Index Precision Strategy's Trigger Rates, and
less than the Caps for the Index Guard
Strategy and Index Performance Strategy. These Caps may
be greater or less than Index Dual
Precision Strategy's Trigger Rates.
|
|
What is the growth opportunity?
|
|
|
Index Dual Precision
Strategy
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Trigger Rates. We do not apply the Trigger Rate annually on 3-year
and 6-year Term Index Options.
• May perform best in periods of small or moderate negative market movements as it provides a
positive Performance Credit in these environments while
other Crediting Methods do not.
• Generally, 1-year Term Index Options have less growth opportunity than the Index Precision Strategy
and the 1-year Term Index Options on the Index
Performance Strategy.
• Generally, 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options have less growth opportunity than the 3-year and
6-year Term Index Options on the Index Performance
Strategy.
• Growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index
Protection Strategy with Cap, and Index Guard Strategy
depending on Trigger Rates and Caps.
|
|
Index Precision Strategy
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Trigger Rates.
• May perform best in periods of small positive market movements.
• Generally more growth opportunity than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection
Strategy with Cap, and Index Dual Precision Strategy.
However, less growth opportunity than the
Index Dual Precision Strategy during periods of small or
moderate negative market movements.
• Growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index Guard Strategy or Index Performance
Strategy depending on Trigger Rates and Caps.
|
|
Index Guard Strategy
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Caps.
• May perform best in a strong market.
• Growth opportunity that generally may be matched or exceeded only by the Index Performance
Strategy. However, growth opportunity may be more or less
than the Index Dual Precision Strategy,
Index Precision Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy
depending on Trigger Rates and Caps.
|
|
Index Performance
Strategy
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Caps and/or Participation Rates. We do not apply the Cap annually
on 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options. If we do not declare a Cap for an Index Option, there is
no maximum limit on
the positive Index Return for that Index Option. In addition, you can
receive more than the
positive Index Return if the Participation Rate applies and is greater
than its 100%
minimum. However, the Participation Rate cannot boost Index Returns beyond a
declared Cap.
• May perform best in a strong market.
• Generally, 1-year Term with 10% Buffer Index Options, 3-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer
Index Options, and 6-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30%
Buffer Index Options have the most growth
opportunity.
• Growth opportunity for the 1-year Term with 20% or 30% Buffer may be less than the Index Dual
Precision Strategy 1-year Term, Index Precision Strategy,
and Index Guard Strategy depending on
Trigger Rates and Caps.

What can change within a Crediting
Method?
|
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start
Date.
– 1-year Term has a 0.50% minimum Trigger Rate.
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Cap
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Caps for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start Date.
– 1-year Term has a 0.50% minimum Cap.
|
|
Index Dual Precision
Strategy
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start
Date.
– 1-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 3% minimum Trigger Rate.
– 3-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 4% minimum Trigger Rate.
– 6-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has an 8% minimum Trigger Rate.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers for the currently available Index Options cannot change. However, if
we add a new Index Option to your Contract after the
Issue Date, we establish the Buffer for it on the
date we add the Index Option to your Contract. The
minimum Buffer is 5% for a new Index Option.

Index Precision Strategy
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start
Date.
– 1-year Term has a 3% minimum Trigger Rate.
• The 10% Buffers for the currently available Index Options cannot change. However, if we add a new
Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we
establish the Buffer for it on the date we add
the Index Option to your Contract. The minimum Buffer is
5% for a new Index Option.
|
|
Index Guard Strategy
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Caps for existing Contracts can change on each Term Start Date.
– 1-year Term has a 3% minimum Cap.
• The -10% Floors for the currently available Index Options cannot change. However, if we add a new
Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we
establish the Floor for it on the date we add the
Index Option to your Contract. The minimum Floor is -25%
for a new Index Option.
|
|
Index Performance
Strategy
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Caps and/or Participation Rates for existing Contracts can change on
each Term Start Date.
– 1-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 3% minimum Cap.
– 3-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 5% minimum Cap, and 100% minimum
Participation Rate.
– 6-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 10% minimum Cap, and 100% minimum
Participation Rate.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers for the currently available Index Options cannot change. However, if
we add a new Index Option to your Contract after the
Issue Date, we establish the Buffer for it on the
date we add the Index Option to your Contract. The
minimum Buffer is 5% for a new Index Option.
|
|
• For any Index Option with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, or Index Performance
Strategy, you participate in any negative Index Return in excess of the Buffer, which reduces your Contract Value.
For example, for a 10% Buffer we absorb the first -10% of
Index Return and you could lose up to 90% of the Index
Option Value. However, for any Index Option with the Index Guard Strategy, we absorb any negative Index Return
in excess of the -10%
Floor, so your maximum loss is limited to -10% of the Index Option Value due to negative
Index Returns.
|
|
• Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates as set by us from time-to-time may vary substantially based on market
conditions. However, in extreme market environments, it is possible that all Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation
Rates will be reduced
to their respective minimums of 0.50%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 8%, 10%, or 100% as stated in the
table above.
|
|
• If your Contract is within its free look period you may be able to take advantage of any increase in initial Trigger
Rates, Caps, and/or Participation Rates by cancelling
your Contract and purchasing a new Contract.
|
|
• If the initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and/or Participation Rates available on the Index Effective Date are not acceptable
you have the following options:
|
|
– Cancel your Contract if you are still within the free look period. If you took a withdrawal that was subject to a
withdrawal charge, we will refund any previously deducted
withdrawal charge upon a free look cancellation.
|
|
– Request to extend your Index Effective Date if you have not reached your first Quarterly Contract Anniversary.
|
|
– If the free look period has expired, request a full withdrawal and receive the Cash Value. This withdrawal is subject
to withdrawal charges, income taxes, and may also be
subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts
withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. If this occurs on or before the Index
Effective Date, the Daily Adjustment does not
apply. If this occurs after the Index Effective
Date, you are subject to the Daily Adjustment.
|
|
• Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates can be different from Index Option to Index Option. For example,
Caps for the Index Performance Strategy 1-year Terms can
be different between the S&P 500® Index and the
Nasdaq-100® Index; and Caps for the S&P 500® Index
can be different between 1-year, 3-year, and 6-year Terms on
the Index Performance Strategy, and between the 1-year
Terms for the Index Guard Strategy and Index Performance
Strategy. Initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation rates may also be different from Contract-to-Contract. For
example, assume that on August 3, 2028 we set Caps for
the Index Performance Strategy 1-year Term with 10% Buffer
using the S&P 500® Index as follows:
|
|
– 13% initial rate and 12% Early Reallocation rate for new Contracts issued in 2028,
|
|
– 14% renewal rate and 14% Early Reallocation rate for existing Contracts issued in 2027, and
|
|
– 12% renewal rate and 13% Early Reallocation rate for existing Contracts issued in 2026.
|
|
Currently, the Contract does not offer any variable
investment options to which you can allocate money. As such, and
given the design of the Contract, we do not believe there
to be a risk of excessive trading and market timing. However, if
we were to offer multiple variable investment options in
the future, they would be subject to the following provisions.
|
|
This Contract is not designed for professional market
timing organizations, or other persons using programmed, large, or
frequent transfers, and we may restrict excessive or
inappropriate transfer activity.

|
• The Charge Base is
equal to your initial
Purchase Payment.
• We begin calculating
and accruing the
daily product and
rider fees, on the
day after the Issue
Date.
|
• First we calculate and accrue the daily product
and rider fees, using the Charge Base. If this is a
non-Business Day we use the Charge Base from
the end of the prior Business Day.
• Then if this is a Business Day we
increase/decrease the Charge Base as follows.
– If we receive an additional Purchase
Payment, we increase the Charge Base by
the dollar amount we receive.
– If you take a partial withdrawal, or we deduct
Contract fees and expenses other than the
withdrawal charge, we decrease the Charge
Base by the percentage of Contract Value
withdrawn (including any withdrawal charge).
All withdrawals you take reduce the Charge
Base, even Penalty-Free Withdrawals.
|
• First we process all daily transactions and
determine your Contract Value. Daily
transactions include any gains/losses due to AZL
Government Money Market Fund performance or
application of any Daily Adjustment (or
Performance Credit if this is also the Term End
Date), any additional Purchase Payment, any
partial withdrawals you take, and deductions we
make for other Contract fees and expenses
(including deduction
of the accrued daily
product and rider fees
for the prior quarter).
All partial withdrawals you take reduce the
Charge Base, even Penalty-Free Withdrawals.
– We deduct the accrued product and rider fees
for the prior quarter on a dollar for dollar basis
from the Contract Value, and proportionately
from each Investment Option.
• Then we set the Charge Base equal to this
Contract Value and we calculate and accrue the
next quarter’s daily product and rider fees using
the newly set Charge Base on the next day.
* Or the next Business Day if the Quarterly Contract
Anniversary is a non-Business Day.
|
|
Example: Contract Value is $125,000; Charge
Base is $127,000; a $10,000 partial
withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge)
would decrease the Charge Base by $10,160.
[($10,000 ÷ $125,000) x $127,000]
Any increase/decrease to the Charge Base
will increase/decrease the daily product and
rider fees we calculate and accrue on the
next day.
|
||
|
Examples of how we
calculate the product and rider fees are included in Appendix D.
|
||
|
We do not treat the deduction of the accrued product and
rider fees as a withdrawal when computing your Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value (see section 12).
|
|
If on a Quarterly Contract Anniversary (or the next
Business Day if the Quarterly Contract Anniversary is a
non-Business Day) the Contract Value is less than the
accrued product and rider fees, we deduct your total remaining
Contract Value to cover the accrued product and rider fees
and reduce your Contract Value to zero. If the deduction of
the accrued product and rider fees reduces your Contract
Value to zero, and your selected income benefit and death
benefit have ended, we treat this as a full withdrawal and
your Contract ends.
|
|
When calculating the Maximum Anniversary Value, we deduct
all Contract fees and expenses on the Index Anniversary
(including the accrued product and rider fees if this is
also a Quarterly Contract Anniversary) before we capture any
annual investment gains. However, we do not treat the
deduction of the accrued rider fee as a withdrawal when
calculating the Maximum Anniversary Value (see section
12).
|
|
Calculating a Withdrawal Charge
|
Example
|
|||
|
For purposes of calculating any withdrawal charge, we
withdraw
Purchase Payments on a “first-in-first-out” (FIFO) basis
and we
process withdrawal requests as follows.
|
You make an initial Purchase Payment of $55,000 and make
another Purchase Payment in the first month of the second
Contract Year of $45,000. In the third month of the third
Contract Year, your Contract Value is $110,000 and you
request a $70,000 withdrawal before the Income Period. We
withdraw money and compute the withdrawal charge as
follows.
|
|||
|
1. First, we withdraw from Purchase Payments that we have had
for six or more complete years, which is your Contract’s
withdrawal charge period. This withdrawal is not subject
to a
withdrawal charge and it reduces the Withdrawal Charge
Basis
dollar for dollar.
|
1. Purchase Payments beyond the withdrawal charge
period. All payments are still within the withdrawal charge
period, so this does not apply.
|
|||
|
2. Amounts available as a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. This
includes Income Payments, partial withdrawals you take
during
the Accumulation Phase under the free withdrawal privilege
or
waiver of withdrawal charge benefit, and RMD payments you
take under our minimum distribution program. Penalty-Free
Withdrawals are not subject to a withdrawal charge, and
they
do not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis.
|
2. Amounts available as a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. You did
not take any other withdrawals this year, so the entire
free
withdrawal privilege (10% of your total Purchase Payments,
or $10,000) is available to you without incurring a
withdrawal
charge.
|
|||
|
3. Next, on a FIFO basis, we withdraw from Purchase Payments
within your Contract’s withdrawal charge period and assess
a
withdrawal charge. Withdrawing payments on a FIFO basis
may help reduce the total withdrawal charge because the
charge declines over time. We determine your total
withdrawal
charge by multiplying each payment by its applicable
withdrawal charge percentage and then totaling the
charges.
These withdrawals reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis.
The withdrawal charge as a percentage of each Purchase
Payment withdrawn is as follows.
|
3. Purchase Payments within the withdrawal charge period
on a FIFO basis. The total amount we withdraw from the
first Purchase Payment is $55,000, which is subject to a
7%
withdrawal charge, and you receive $51,150. We determine
this amount as follows:
(amount withdrawn) x (1 – withdrawal charge) = the
amount you receive, or:
$55,000 x 0.93 = $51,150
The total amount we withdraw from the second Purchase
Payment is $9,620, which is subject to an 8% withdrawal
charge, and you receive $8,850. We determine this amount
as follows:
(amount withdrawn) x (1 – withdrawal charge) = the
amount you receive, or:
$9,620 x 0.92 = $8,850

4. Finally, we withdraw any Contract earnings. This withdrawal is
not subject to a withdrawal charge and it does not reduce
the
Withdrawal Charge Basis.
|
4. Contract earnings. We already withdrew your requested
amount, so this does not apply.
In total, we withdrew $74,620 from your
Contract, of
which you received $70,000 and paid a
withdrawal
charge of $4,620. We also reduced the 1st Purchase
Payment from $55,000 to $0, and your 2nd Purchase
Payment from $45,000 to $35,380 ($45,000
– $9,620).
Please note that this
example may differ from your
actual results due to
rounding and does not include the
impact of income tax
withholding which can reduce the
amount you receive.
|
|||
|
● Upon a full withdrawal (not including a full withdrawal of the Legacy Value), the free withdrawal privilege is not
available to you, and we apply a withdrawal charge against
Purchase Payments that are still within the withdrawal
charge period, including amounts previously withdrawn under
the free withdrawal privilege. On a full withdrawal,
your Withdrawal Charge Basis may be
greater than your Contract Value because the following reduce your
Contract Value, but do not reduce your
Withdrawal Charge Basis:
|
|
– prior Penalty-Free Withdrawals,
|
|
– deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses other than the withdrawal charge, and/or
|
|
– poor performance.
|
|
This also means that
upon a full withdrawal you may not receive any money.
|
|
● Withdrawals are subject to ordinary income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for
amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. The amount of Contract Value available for withdrawal is also affected
by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative) unless taken on a Term End Date. If you have Index Options
with different Term End
Dates, there may be no time you can take a withdrawal without application of at least one
Daily Adjustment.
|
|
● For tax purposes, and in most instances, withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts are considered to come from
earnings first, not Purchase Payments.

● Withdrawals are subject to a withdrawal charge, income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal
tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. The amount of Contract Value available for
withdrawal may also be
affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative).
|
|
● Joint Owners: We send each Joint Owner a check for half of the
withdrawal amount, and we tax report to each Joint
Owner individually. Tax reporting to each Joint Owner individually can create a discrepancy in taxation if only
one Joint Owner is under
age 59 1∕2 because that Joint Owner may be subject to the 10% additional federal tax.
|
|
● We may be required to provide information about you or your Contract to government regulators. We may also be
required to stop Contract disbursements and thereby refuse
any transfer requests and refuse to pay any withdrawals
(including a full withdrawal), or death benefits until we
receive instructions from the appropriate regulator. If,
pursuant to SEC rules, the AZL Government Money Market Fund
suspends payment of redemption proceeds in
connection with a fund liquidation, we will delay payment
of any transfer, full or partial withdrawal, or death benefit
from the Variable Option until the Fund is liquidated.
|
|
The free withdrawal privilege is not
available upon a full withdrawal or during the Income Period.
|
|
You should consult a tax adviser before
purchasing a Qualified Contract that is subject to RMD payments.
|
|
● If you do not choose an Annuity Option before the Annuity Date, we make Annuity Payments to the Payee
under Annuity Option C with ten years of
guaranteed monthly payments.
|
|
● For Owners younger than age 59 1∕2, Annuity
Payments may be subject to a 10% additional federal tax.
|
|
● For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments generally must end no later than the end of the year
containing the 10th anniversary of the Owner's death. However, in certain situations, payments may need to
end earlier.
|
|
● If your selected payment frequency results in Annuity Payments that are less than $100, we will update your
payment frequency to either meet or exceed
this amount.
|
|
● If Annuity Payments under all available frequencies would be less than $100, we reserve the right to require
you to take a full withdrawal and your
Contract will then terminate. We do not assess a withdrawal charge on
this full withdrawal.
|
|
● If on the maximum Annuity Date either your Contract Value or Legacy Value is positive, you must annuitize
the Contract. We notify you of your available options in writing 60 days in advance. If on your maximum Annuity
Date you have not
selected an Annuity Option and Income Payments have not begun, we make payments under
Annuity Option C with
ten years of guaranteed monthly payments. However, if Income Payments have begun on
the maximum Annuity Date
and you have not selected an Annuity Option, we will convert your Income Payments
to Annuity Payments as
described in the next bullet. Upon annuitization you no longer have Contract Value or a
death benefit, and you cannot receive any other periodic
withdrawals or payments other than Annuity Payments.
|
|
– For Contracts in the Income Period: We will convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments on the
maximum Annuity Date if Income Payments have begun and you
have not selected an Annuity Option, or if
either your Contract Value or Legacy Value is positive and
you take Annuity Payments under Annuity Option B
or F as follows.
|
|
For single Income Payments, if you choose
Annuity Option B (Life), the sole Covered Person becomes the sole
Annuitant and your Annuity Payments are equal to the
greater of:
|
|
○ annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option B based on the Contract Value if you select the Income
Benefit;
|
|
○ annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option B based on the greater of Contract Value or Legacy Value if
you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit; or
|
|
○ the current annual maximum Income Payment available to you.
|
|
For joint Income Payments, if you choose
Annuity Option F (Joint and Survivor), the joint Covered Persons
become the joint Annuitants and your Annuity Payments are
equal to the greater of:
|
|
○ annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option F based on the Contract Value if you select the Income
Benefit;
|
|
○ annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option F based on the greater of Contract Value or Legacy Value if
you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit; or
|
|
○ the current annual maximum Income Payment available to you.
|
|
If you select Annuity Option A, C, or G, we
do not convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments on the
maximum Annuity Date. This means you may receive less as Annuity Payments than you would have
received as Income Payments. You should
consult with your Financial Professional before requesting
Annuity Payments. On request we provide
illustrations showing you the amount of Annuity Payments you
could receive.
|
|
– If we convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments on the maximum Annuity Date:
|
|
○ On the Annuity Date we establish a “remaining value” equal to your Contract Value. Each Annuity Payment
reduces the remaining value by the dollar amount paid. Upon
the death of the last surviving Annuitant, we will
pay any remaining value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
|
|
○ If you selected the Dynamic Income payment option, your Annuity Payments will change on each Index
Anniversary if your selected Index Options receive a
Performance Credit, or by the Daily Adjustment if you
execute a Performance Lock, as described in section 11.
|
|
○ If you have a Non-Qualified Contract, these Annuity Payments will receive the benefit of the exclusion ratio,
which causes a portion of each Annuity Payment to be
non-taxable as described in section 13, Taxes –
Taxation of Annuity Contracts.

We base the initial Income Payment on the
Lifetime Income Percentage and Contract
Value. If you choose the Level Income payment
option and meet the age requirements stated in
section 11, we guarantee your initial annual
maximum Income Payment will be at least the
Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage
multiplied by your total Purchase Payments
adjusted for withdrawals.
The automatic annual payment change feature
may increase or decrease payments after the

Date results in a higher annual maximum
Income Payment and you took the maximum
permitted payment during the prior Income
Benefit Year.
If you elect Dynamic Income, the annual
maximum Income Payment will change based
on Index Option performance. Negative Index
Option performance may significantly reduce
the annual maximum Income Payment if you
allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy,
Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy,
or Index Performance Strategy Index Options.
Includes the Income Multiplier Benefit for no

Legacy+TM
Income Benefit
|
Lifetime withdrawal benefit providing for yearly

We base the initial Income Payment on the
Lifetime Income Percentage and Contract
Value. If you choose the Level Income payment
option and meet the age requirements stated in

maximum Income Payment will be at least the
Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage

If you elect Level Income, payments increase if
your Contract Value multiplied by the Lifetime
Income Percentage as of the Income Benefit

help pay for needed care.
Includes the Legacy+TM Benefit that during the
Income Period provides a guaranteed Legacy
Value that is accessible through Legacy
Withdrawals, or as a death benefit upon the
death of the last surviving Covered Person.
Unlike the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value,
which decreases with each Income Payment,
the Legacy Value will never decrease unless
you take an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy
Withdrawal. Once your Contract Value is
reduced to zero, the Legacy Value will increase
on an Income Benefit Anniversary by the
amount of any remaining unpaid annual

Maximum
Anniversary
Value Death
Benefit
|
Provides a death benefit equal to the greater of
the Contract Value, or Guaranteed Death Benefit
Value. The Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is
the Maximum Anniversary Value.
Examples of the death benefit provided by the
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit,
including calculation of the Maximum
Anniversary Value and how withdrawals impact
this benefit, are included in section 12, Death
Benefit.
The impact of an Excess Withdrawal on the
death benefit is included in section 11.

(as a

Base)
|
• Must be age 75 or younger to elect.
• Can only be added to a Contract at issue.
• The Maximum Anniversary Value Death
Benefit is not available if you select the
Legacy+TM
Income Benefit.
• Replaces the Traditional Death Benefit if
elected.
• Benefit cannot be removed from the Contract.
• Only available during the Accumulation Phase.
• Withdrawals, including any negative Daily
Adjustment, may significantly reduce the
benefit as indicated in section 12, Death
Benefit, and in the Excess Withdrawal example
in section 11, Income Benefits.
• Withdrawals reduce the likelihood of receiving
increases to the Maximum Anniversary Value.
• Investment restrictions during the Income
Period may limit the benefit.
• Restrictions on Purchase Payments may limit
the benefit.
• Annuitizing the Contract will end the benefit.
|
|
Unless otherwise stated, the following description of the
income benefits apply to both the Level Income and Dynamic
Income payment options.
|
|
● YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THIS CONTRACT WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING THE CURRENT
INCOME BENEFIT
SUPPLEMENT. We publish any changes to the Income Benefit Supplement at least seven
calendar days before they take effect on
our website at https://www.allianzlife.com/RILAselectincomerates.
|
|
● Please discuss the appropriateness of the Income Benefit or Legacy+TM
Income Benefit with your Financial
Professional and tax adviser.
|
|
● If Income Payments do not begin by the Index Anniversary upon which the younger Eligible Person reaches
age 100, your selected income benefit
ends.
|
|
● If your selected income benefit ends before Income Payments begin, you will have paid the benefit’s rider fee
(and the additional rider fee for the Legacy+TM
Benefit, if applicable) without receiving any of its advantages.
|
|
● If you have Contract Value in an Index Option for which the Income Benefit Date is not a Term End Date, we
will execute a Performance Lock for that
Index Option if it is not locked, and in such case the Index Option
Value will be subject to the Daily
Adjustment. We then reallocate the total Contract Value (including any
amount in the Variable Option) into the
available 1-year Term Index Options according to your allocation
instructions, and then immediately
calculate and begin your Income Payments. If you have Index Options with
different Term End Dates, there may be no
Income Benefit Date you can select without application of at least
one Daily Adjustment. This means you may not receive the full benefit of the Performance Credit that you would
have received if you had
waited until the Term End Date to begin Income Payments.
|
|
● For the Level Income payment option, we use Contract Value to calculate
your initial annual maximum Income
Payment, and Income Payment increases. Negative Index
Option performance, withdrawals you take, and deductions
we make for Contract fees and expenses decrease the
Contract Value, which reduces the initial annual maximum
Income Payment available to you, and the likelihood you
will receive Income Payment increases.
|
|
● For the Dynamic Income payment option, we use the Contract Value to
calculate your initial annual maximum
Income Payment. Negative Index Option performance,
withdrawals you take, and deductions we make for Contract
fees and expenses decrease the Contract Value, which
reduces the initial annual maximum Income Payment available
to you. For Income Payments in later Income Benefit Years,
we use Performance Credits and locked Daily
Adjustment percentages to calculate changes to the annual
maximum Income Payments. Negative Performance
Credits and Daily Adjustments reduce the
likelihood you will receive an increase to the annual maximum
Income Payment with the Dynamic Income
payment option and increase the likelihood that these Income
Payments will decrease.

● For Qualified Contracts: If we calculate a required minimum
distribution (RMD) based on this Contract, after
making all Income Payments for the calendar year we
determine whether this calendar year’s total RMD has been
satisfied by these payments and any Excess Withdrawals or
Legacy Withdrawals. If the RMD amount for this
Contract has not been satisfied, we send you this remaining
amount as one RMD payment by the end of the calendar
year. We consider this payment to be a withdrawal, but it
is not an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal, and it
is not subject to a withdrawal charge.
|
|
● For annuitization: If on the maximum Annuity Date you are receiving
Income Payments and either your Contract
Value or Legacy Value is positive, we will convert your
Income Payments to Annuity Payments if you take Annuity
Payments under Annuity Option B or F. If you select any
other Annuity Option, we will not convert your Income
Payments to Annuity Payments on the maximum Annuity Date. This means that if you annuitize your Contract
you may receive less as Annuity Payments
than you would have received as Income Payments. For more
information, see section 9, The Annuity Phase – When
Annuity Payments Begin.

If you select Level Income, you receive
the greater of….
|
If you select Dynamic Income, you receive…
|
|
• Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage multiplied by
total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for
withdrawals you took, or: (2.71% x $22,000) = $596.20
• Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by the Contract Value,
or: (5.15% x $25,000) = $1,287.50
|
• Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by the Contract Value,
or: (4.15% x $25,000) = $1,037.50
|
|
If you select Level Income, you receive
the greater of….
|
If you select Dynamic Income, you receive…
|
|
• Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage multiplied by
total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for
withdrawals you took, or: (2.71% x $20,000) = $542.00
• Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by the Contract Value,
or: (5.20% x $22,997.50) = $1,195.87

negative performance. You would receive the greater of:
– Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage multiplied
by total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for
withdrawals you took, or: (4.00% x $100,000) = $4,000.00
– Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by the Contract
Value, or: (7.70% x $50,000) = $3,850.00
|
• Assume your Contract Value decreases to $70,000 due to
negative performance. You would receive the greater of:
– Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage multiplied
by total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for
withdrawals you took, or: (4.00% x $100,000) = $4,000.00

If we increase the Contract Value to equal the death
benefit due to a spousal continuation of the Contract during the last
Income Benefit Year, we also subtract the amount of this
increase from the Contract Value on the next Income Benefit
Anniversary when determining annual payment increases
under the Level Income payment option.
|
|
If we receive notice of death of a Covered Person during
the Income Period, we will suspend Income Payments and the
Income Benefit will end as described above. However, if a
federally recognized spouse who is also a joint Covered
Person continues this Contract, we will resume Income
Payments and add any Income Payments that we would have
paid between the time we suspended Income Payments and
when they resume future Income Payments.
|
|
If you have the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, and there are joint
Covered Persons, the Legacy Value is not available as a
death benefit upon the first Covered Person's death. In
order for the Legacy Value to continue to be available after the
first Covered Person's death, the surviving Covered Person
must continue the Contract.

During the Income Period:
|
|
● You cannot make additional Purchase Payments. If your Contract includes the Traditional Death Benefit this means
the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value no longer increases.
|
|
● Only the 1-year Term Index Options are available to you. This may limit your Contract’s performance potential and
the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if your Contract
includes the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit.
Income Payments and Excess Withdrawals also decrease your
Contract Value, which also reduces the likelihood of
locking in investment gains to the Guaranteed Death Benefit
Value if your Contract includes the Maximum
Anniversary Value Death Benefit.
|
|
● Each Income Payment and any Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal (if applicable) reduces the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value
withdrawn (including any withdrawal charge), which
means this value may be
reduced by more than the amount withdrawn. Taking Excess Withdrawals or Legacy
Withdrawals (if
applicable) may also cause your selected death benefit to end prematurely.

We base the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value on the first
death of a Determining Life (or Lives). This means that upon
the death of an Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a
non-individual), if a surviving spouse continues the Contract:
|
|
● the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is no longer available, and
|
|
● if you selected the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, we no longer assess its 0.20% rider fee.
|
|
Also, if
you and the Determining Life (Lives) are different individuals and you die first, the Guaranteed Death Benefit
Value is not available
to your Beneficiary(ies).

Ends
See section 11

The Income Benefit and any Income Payments end based on
the earlier of
the date of death of an individual Owner (or Annuitant if
the Owner is a
non-individual), or last surviving Covered Person. Upon
the death of an
individual Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a
non-individual), if the
deceased’s spouse:
• continues the Contract, the Income Benefit and Income Payments end on
the earlier of the date of death of the surviving spouse,
or last surviving
Covered Person.
• elects to receive payment of the death benefit, the Income Benefit ends on
the Business Day we receive his or her Valid Claim.
This means if you
assign the Contract after the Income Benefit Date,
Income Payments may
end even if the Covered Person is still alive.

UPON THE DEATH OF A SOLE OWNER

Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase
|
Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
|
|
● We pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary unless the
Beneficiary is the surviving spouse and continues the
Contract. Your selected income benefit and any Income
Payments will also end unless the Beneficiary is both a
surviving spouse and either an Eligible Person (if Income
Payments have not begun) or a Covered Person (if Income
Payments have begun). For a description of the death benefit
and payout options, see prospectus section 12, Death Benefit
- Death Benefit Payment Options During the Accumulation
Phase.
● If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life and the
surviving spouse Beneficiary continues the Contract:
– we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the
death benefit ends,
– the surviving spouse becomes the new Owner,
– if Income Payments have not begun the Accumulation
Phase continues,
– if Income Payments have begun, they can only continue if
the surviving spouse is a Covered Person; otherwise your
selected income benefit ends, and
– upon the surviving spouse’s death, his or her
Beneficiary(ies) receives the Contract Value if you
selected the Income Benefit, or the greater of Contract
Value or Legacy Value if you selected the Legacy+TM
Income Benefit.
● If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life, the sole
Covered Person, and you selected the Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) receives the Contract Value or the
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if greater and available.
However, if you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) instead receives the greater of Contract
Value, Legacy Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value,
if greater and available.
● If the deceased Owner was not the Determining Life the
Traditional Death Benefit or Maximum Anniversary Value
Death Benefit are not available and the Beneficiary(ies)
receive the Contract Value. However, if you selected the
Legacy+TM Income Benefit and the deceased Owner
was the
last surviving Covered Person, the Beneficiary(ies) receives
the greater of Contract Value or Legacy Value.
|
● The Beneficiary becomes the Payee. If we are still required to
make Annuity Payments under the selected Annuity Option,
the Beneficiary also becomes the new Owner.
● If the deceased was not an Annuitant, Annuity Payments to
the Payee continue. No death benefit is payable.
● If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity
Payments end or continue as follows.
– Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the
guaranteed period ends.
– Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. If Income
Payments were converted to Annuity Payments under
Annuity Option B or F, we will also pay any remaining
value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
● If the deceased was an Annuitant and there is a surviving
joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue
during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. No death
benefit is payable.
● For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments generally
must end no later than the end of the year containing the 10th
anniversary of the Owner's death. However, in certain
situations, payments may need to end earlier.

|
UPON THE DEATH OF A JOINT OWNER
|
|
|
Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase
|
Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
|
|
● The surviving Joint Owner is the sole primary Beneficiary. If
the Joint Owners were spouses there may also be contingent
Beneficiaries.
● We pay a death benefit to the surviving Joint Owner unless
he or she is the surviving spouse and continues the Contract.
Your selected income benefit and any Income Payments will
also end unless the surviving Joint Owner is both a surviving
spouse and either an Eligible Person (if Income Payments
have not begun) or a Covered Person (if Income Payments
have begun). For a description of the death benefit and
payout options, see prospectus section 12, Death Benefit -
Death Benefit Payment Options During the Accumulation
Phase.
● If the deceased Joint Owner was a Determining Life and the
surviving spouse/Joint Owner continues the Contract:
– we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the
death benefit ends,
– the surviving spouse/Joint Owner becomes the new sole
Owner,
– if Income Payments have not begun the Accumulation
Phase continues,
– if Income Payments have begun, they can only continue if
the surviving spouse/Joint Owner is also a Covered
Person; otherwise your selected income benefit ends,
and
– upon the surviving spouse/Joint Owner’s death, his or her
Beneficiary(ies) receives the Contract Value if you
selected the Income Benefit, or the greater of Contract
Value or Legacy Value if you selected the Legacy+TM
Income Benefit.
● If the deceased Joint Owner was a Determining Life, the sole
Covered Person, and you selected the Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) receives the Contract Value or the
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if greater and available.
However, if you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) instead receives the greater of Contract
Value, Legacy Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value,
if greater and available.
● If the deceased Joint Owner was not a Determining Life the
Traditional Death Benefit or Maximum Anniversary Value
Death Benefit are not available and the Beneficiary(ies)
receive the Contract Value. However, if you selected the
Legacy+TM Income Benefit and the deceased Joint
Owner
was the last surviving Covered Person, the Beneficiary(ies)
receives the greater of Contract Value or Legacy Value.
|
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option, the surviving Joint Owner becomes
the sole Owner.
● If the deceased was not an Annuitant, Annuity Payments to
the Payee continue. No death benefit is payable.
● If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity
Payments end or continue as follows.
– Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the
guaranteed period ends.
– Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. If Income
Payments were converted to Annuity Payments under
Annuity Option B or F, we will also pay any remaining
value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
● If the deceased was an Annuitant and there is a surviving
joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue
during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. No death
benefit is payable.
|
|
UPON THE DEATH OF AN ANNUITANT AND THERE IS NO SURVIVING JOINT ANNUITANT
|
|
|
Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase
|
Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
|
|
● If the deceased Annuitant was not an Owner, and the
Contract is owned only by an individual(s), we do not pay a
death benefit. The Owner can name a new Annuitant subject
to our approval.
● If the deceased Annuitant was a sole Owner, we pay a death
benefit as discussed in the “Upon the Death of a Sole Owner”
table. If the Contract is continued by a surviving spouse, the
new surviving spouse Owner can name a new Annuitant
subject to our approval.
● If the deceased Annuitant was a Joint Owner, we pay a death
benefit as discussed in the “Upon the Death of a Joint Owner”
table. If the Contract is continued by a surviving Joint Owner
who is also a surviving spouse, the surviving spouse Joint
Owner can name a new Annuitant subject to our approval.
● If the Contract is owned by a non-individual, we treat the
death of the Annuitant as the death of a sole Owner, and we
pay a death benefit as discussed in the “Upon the Death of a
Sole Owner” table. NOTE: For non-individually owned
Contracts, spousal continuation is only available if the
Contract is Qualified, owned by a custodian, and the
surviving spouse is named as the sole primary
beneficiary under the custodial account.
|
● No death benefit is payable.
● If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity
Payments end or continue as follows.
– Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the
guaranteed period ends.
– Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. If Income
Payments were converted to Annuity Payments under
Annuity Option B or F, we will also pay any remaining
value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option and the deceased was a sole Owner,
the Beneficiary becomes the new sole Owner.
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option and the deceased was a Joint
Owner, the surviving Joint Owner becomes the sole Owner.
|
|
UPON THE DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT DURING THE ANNUITY PHASE AND THERE IS A SURVIVING JOINT
ANNUITANT
|
|
|
● Only Annuity Options F and G allow joint Annuitants. Under
Annuity Options F and G, Annuity Payments to the Payee
continue during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. If
Income Payments were converted to Annuity Payments
under Annuity Option F, we will also pay any remaining value
to the named Beneficiary(ies).
|
● No death benefit is payable.
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option and the deceased was a sole Owner,
the Beneficiary becomes the new Owner.
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option and the deceased was a Joint
Owner, the surviving Joint Owner becomes the sole Owner.

Indemnification provision, as required by the ’33 Act, Rule 484
|
||
|
The Bylaws of the Insurance Company provide:
|
||
|
ARTICLE XI. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
|
||
|
SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION:
|
||
|
(a)
|
Subject to the conditions of this Article and any conditions or limitations imposed by applicable law, the Corporation shall indemnify any employee, director or officer of
the Corporation (an "Indemnified Person") who was, is, or in the sole opinion of the Corporation, may reasonably become a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was:
|
|
|
(i)
|
a director of the Corporation; or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
acting in the course and scope of his or her duties as an officer or employee of the Corporation; or
|
|
|
(iii)
|
rendering Professional Services at the request of and for the benefit of the Corporation; or
|
|
|
(iv)
|
serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, director, fiduciary or member of another corporation, association, committee, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise (an "Outside Organization").
|
|
|
(b)
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no officer, director or employee shall be indemnified pursuant to these bylaws under the following circumstances:
|
|
|
(i)
|
in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person, in his or her own personal capacity, unless such initiation was authorized by the Board of Directors;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
if a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that any indemnification hereunder is unlawful;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law;
|
|
|
(iv)
|
for acts or omissions that the Indemnified Person believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good
faith on the part of the Indemnified Person;
|
|
|
(v)
|
for any transaction for which the Indemnified Person derived an improper personal benefit;
|
|
|
(vi)
|
for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the Indemnified Person's duty to the Corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the Indemnified
Person was aware or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing the Indemnified Person's duties, of the risk of serious injury to the Corporation or its shareholders;
|
|
|
(vii)
|
for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the Indemnified Person's duties to the Corporation or its
shareholders;
|
|
|
(viii)
|
in circumstances where indemnification is prohibited by applicable law;
|
|
|
(ix)
|
in the case of service as an officer, director, fiduciary or member of an Outside Organization, where the Indemnified Person was aware or should have been aware that the
conduct in question was outside the scope of the assignment as contemplated by the Corporation.
|
|
|
SECTION 2. SCOPE OF INDEMNIFICATION:
|
||
|
(a)
|
Indemnification provided pursuant to Section 1(a)(iv) shall be secondary and subordinate to indemnification or insurance provided to an Indemnified Person by an Outside
Organization or other source, if any.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Indemnification shall apply to all reasonable expenses, liability and losses, actually incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding,
including without limitation, attorneys' fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification or advancement under this article, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such expense, liability and loss.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Such indemnification shall continue as to any Indemnified Person who has ceased to be an employee, director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of
his or her heirs, estate, executors and administrators.
|
|
|
SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS:
|
||
|
(a)
|
"Corporation" for the purpose of Article XI shall mean Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and all of its subsidiaries.
|
|
|
(b)
|
"Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, including
actions by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor.
|
|
|
(c)
|
"Professional Services" shall mean services rendered pursuant to (i) a professional actuarial designation, (ii) a license to engage in the practice of law issued by a
State Bar Institution or (iii) a Certified Public Accountant designation issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
|
|
|
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted for directors and officers or controlling persons of the Insurance
Company pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, the Insurance 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, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Insurance Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Insurance Company in the
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 Insurance Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of 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.
