|
Are There Charges or
Adjustments for Early
Withdrawals?
|
Yes:
●A surrender charge may apply to a surrender or withdrawal of a
Purchase Payment prior to the 6th anniversary since the Purchase
Payment was invested, up to 7% of the amount withdrawn,
declining to 0% over that time period. For example, if you make a
withdrawal of $100,000 during the first year after your Purchase
Payment, you could be assessed a charge of up to $7,000 on the
Purchase Payment withdrawn. A surrender charge will not apply if
your withdrawal is made after the 6th anniversary since a Purchase
Payment was invested. This loss will be greater if there is a negative
Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values, taxes or tax penalties.
●If you remove Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed
Term, we will apply a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value,
which could be negative, and you could lose up to 100% of your
investment due to the Contract Adjustment. For example, if you
allocate $100,000 to an Indexed Account and later withdraw the
entire amount before the Indexed Term has ended, you could lose
up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater (but
never more than 100%) if you also have to pay a surrender charge,
taxes, and tax penalties. Contract Adjustments are applied to
withdrawals, surrenders, reallocations, annuitizations and Death
Benefit payments prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term and
upon a Secure Lock+® request.

Are There Transaction
Charges?

No. The Contract does not impose any transaction charges other than
surrender charges.
|
●Charges and
Adjustments
|
|
Are There Ongoing Fees and
Expenses?
|
Yes. While the Contract does not impose any ongoing fees and
expenses, there is an implicit ongoing fee on Indexed Accounts to the
extent that your participation in Index gains is limited by the Company
through the use of various Crediting Methods. 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. Additionally, in certain cases your Contract Value may be
subject to a negative Interim Value adjustment.

|
|
Is There a Risk of Loss
From Poor Performance?
|
Yes:
●You can lose money by investing in the Contract. Your investment in
the Indexed Accounts is subject to all losses in excess of the
Protection Method you choose including any loss experienced from
a negative Index performance. Under extreme circumstances, you
could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Indexed Account
with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate, up to 85% of your
investment in an Indexed Account with a 15% Protection Level or
15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment in an Indexed
Account with a 20% Protection Level, up to 75% of your
investment in an Indexed Account with a 25% Protection Level,
and up to 70% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a
30% Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will
always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses, which
would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested.
●An Interim Value is calculated if an early withdrawal is taken prior to
the end of an Indexed Term. This Interim Value formula may result
in a loss even if the Index Value at the time of the withdrawal is
higher than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term.
|
●Principal Risks of
Investing in the
Contract
|
|
Is This a Short-Term
Investment?
|
No:
●This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not
appropriate for the investor who needs ready access to cash.
●Indexed interest will only be credited to an Indexed Account at the
end of an Indexed Term. No interest will be credited to funds
withdrawn or surrendered before the end of an Indexed Term.
●Withdrawals taken prior to the end of an Indexed Term may result in
a negative Contract Adjustment based on the Interim Value and loss
of positive Index performance. The Interim Value formula may result
in a loss even if the Index Value at the time of the withdrawal is
higher than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term.
●Withdrawals may result in surrender charges. If you take a
withdrawal, any surrender charge will reduce the Contract Value or
the amount of money that you actually receive.
●Withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject
to tax penalties.
●At the end of an Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Indexed
Segment Ending Value to any available Indexed Account as long as
the reallocation request is received on or before the Indexed
Anniversary Date. If we do not hear from you by the end of the
Indexed Term, we will reallocate your Segment Ending Value into a
new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed
Term, Index and Protection Method if available. A new rate will apply
based on the Indexed Segment you select, subject to the guaranteed
minimum rates. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not
available, your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year
S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap and 100%
Protection Level and will not be eligible for reallocation into another
Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.

What are the Risks
Associated
With Investment Options?
|
●An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor
investment performance of the Indexed Accounts you choose.
Performance can vary depending on the performance of the Indexes
linked to the Indexed Accounts.
●Each Indexed Account has its own unique risks and you should
review the available Indexed Accounts before making an investment
decision.
●The Crediting Method you select may limit positive (upside) Index
returns. This may result in you earning less than the Index return.
For example:
●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Cap, and the Index
return is 12% and the Performance Cap is 10%, we will credit
10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Trigger Rate, and the
Index return is 12% and the Performance Trigger Rate is 10%, we
will credit 10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, and
the Index return is 12% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is
8%, we will credit 8% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Rate and Performance Cap, and
the Index return is 60% and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will
credit 50% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●The Protection Level will limit negative (downside) Index returns.
For example, if the Index return is -25% and the Protection Level is
10%, we will deduct 15% (the amount that exceeds the Protection
Level) at the end of the Indexed Term.
●The Dual Rate will limit negative (downside) Index returns. For
example, if the Index return is -25% and the Dual Rate is 15%, we
will deduct 10% at the end of the Indexed Term.
●Each Index is a “price return Index”, not a “total return Index”, and
therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the underlying
securities.
●The ETF providers of ETFs that serve as Indexes for certain Indexed
Accounts deduct fees and costs when calculating performance.
●These factors may result in you earning less than the Index
return.

What are the Risks Related
to the Insurance Company?

RESTRICTIONS
|
Location in
Prospectus
|
|
Are There Restrictions
on the Investment Options?
|
Yes:
●You cannot reallocate from an Indexed Account to another Indexed
Account except on an Indexed Anniversary if the Indexed Account is
at the end of an Indexed Term. If you reallocate from an Indexed
Account on an Indexed Anniversary that is not the End Date of the
Indexed Term, any reallocation will be based on the Interim Value of
the Indexed Account (or the value locked-in through previous
exercise of Secure Lock+®).
●All Indexed Segments must begin on the Indexed Anniversary Date.
All future Indexed Terms must begin on the same Indexed
Anniversary Date. This means that after the initial Indexed Segment
is created you can only make reallocations of Contract Value to the
Indexed Accounts one time a year. If you have more than one 6-Year
Term Indexed Segment in effect at any time, Indexed Terms of the
same Indexed Term length must have the same Start Date.
●We determine and provide the available Indexed Accounts and
applicable rates for the Crediting Methods of each Indexed Segment
at least 5 days in advance of the Indexed Anniversary Date. We may
not offer new Indexed Segments for the Indexed Accounts or
change the features of an Index-Linked Option from one Indexed
Term to the next, including the Index and the current limits on Index
gains and losses (subject to any minimum guarantees). Therefore,
an Indexed Account may not be available for you to reallocate your
Contract Value on an Indexed Anniversary Date.
●Each Index’s returns do not include any dividends or other
distributions declared by companies included in the Index and will
cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the
companies included in the Index.
●We have the right to substitute an alternative Index prior to the End
Date of an Indexed Term if an Index is discontinued; we are engaged
in a contractual dispute with the Index provider; we determine that
our use of an Index should be discontinued because, for example,
changes to the Index make it impractical or expensive to purchase
securities or derivatives to hedge the Index; there is a substantial
change in the calculation of an Index, resulting in significantly
different values and performance; or for a legal reason we cannot
offer the Index. If we substitute an Index for an existing Indexed
Segment, we will not change the Crediting Method or Protection
Method for the Indexed Term. We will attempt to choose a new
Index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the
existing Index.

Should I Exchange My
Contract?
|
●If you already own a contract, some investment professionals may
have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the
one you currently own. You should only exchange your existing
contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and
risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new
contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.
