Appendix A - Investment Options Available Under the Contract

APP A-1

An account where the Contract Value may be temporarily invested at the end of any Guaranteed Period.

A fixed interest option under the contract that guarantees the declared Guarantee Rate (i.e., the declared annual interest rate) for the duration of the Guarantee Period.

Yes.

Surrender Charges. If you withdraw money from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration or after the first 30 days of the following Guarantee Period, you may be assessed a surrender charge based on a ten-year surrender charge schedule. The maximum surrender charge is 6%, as a percentage of the amount withdrawn. For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 from a Guarantee Period, you could be assessed a surrender charge of up to $6,000. This loss will be greater if there is a negative MVA, or you are subject to taxes or tax penalties. The maximum surrender charge for contracts issued in New York is 7%, as a percentage of the amount withdrawn. See "State Variations" in the section of the prospectus titled "The Contract" - J. "Miscellaneous" for more information.

Market Value Adjustments. If you withdraw or otherwise remove amounts from a Guarantee Period before the end of the Guarantee Period, we may apply an MVA, which may be negative. In extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 100% of the amount withdrawn or otherwise removed due to a negative MVA. For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration, you could lose up to $100,000 of the amount withdrawn. This loss will be greater if you also have to pay a surrender charge, taxes, or tax penalties. An MVA may apply to withdrawals (including full withdrawals and partial withdrawals), transfers, and annuitization from the Guarantee Periods.

No. Other than surrender charges and MVAs, there are no charges for other contract transactions.

No. There are no ongoing fees or expenses under the contract.
