|
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withdrawal charge of up to 8% of the Purchase Payment withdrawn, declining to 0% over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 (including financial adviser fees that you
choose to have us pay from this Contract) 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 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 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, as applicable. The maximum potential loss from
a negative Daily Adjustment is -99%. 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.

Are There
Transaction
Charges?

and other transactions from the Index Options, we will also charge you a fee of $25 per
transfer after you exceed 12 transfers between Variable Options in a Contract Year.

|
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. These ongoing fees and expenses do
not reflect any financial adviser fees paid to a Financial Professional from your Contract
Value or other assets of the Owner. If such charges were reflected, these ongoing fees and
expenses would be higher.
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. 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.

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; and -70% with a 30%
Buffer.
The limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Term to the
next if we add an Index Option.

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 and long-term income, 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 (including financial adviser fees that you choose to have us pay from this
Contract), 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 (including financial adviser fees that
you choose to have us pay from this Contract), 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. 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 submitting
transfer instructions. If you do not submit transfer 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 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 Options and the Index Options
available under the Contract.
• Each Variable Option and Index Option have their own unique risks.
• You should review each Fund's prospectus and disclosures, including risk factors, before
making an investment decision.
• Caps 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.
• The Buffer 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.
- 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.
• 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.

RESTRICTIONS

|
Are There
Restrictions on
the Investment
Options?
|
Yes, there are limits on the Investment Options.
• We can add new Index Options to your Contract in the future.
• The first 12 transfers between Variable Options every Contract Year are free. After that,
we deduct a $25 transfer fee for each additional transfer. Your transfers between the
Variable Options are also subject to policies designed to deter excessively frequent
transfers and market timing.
• We do not accept additional Purchase Payments during the Annuity Phase.
• We only allow assets to move into the Index Options on the Index Effective Date and on
subsequent Index Anniversaries as discussed in section 3, Purchase Payments -
Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers.
• You can typically transfer Index Option Value only on Term End Dates. However, you can
transfer assets out of a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option before the Term End Date by
executing a Performance Lock as discussed in section 6, Valuing Your Contract -
Performance Locks.
• 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.
• With prior written notice we may make the Index Protection NY Strategy Index Options
and Index Performance Strategy 3-year Term with 20% Buffer Index Options temporarily
unavailable for a year or more on Term Start Dates occurring on or after the sixth Index
Anniversary if we are unable to support the minimum Cap on that Index Option. However,
we cannot make the Index Performance Strategy 1-year Term, 3-year Term with 10%
Buffer, or 6-year Term Index Options temporarily unavailable. (For more information on an
Index Option's temporary unavailability, please see Overview of the Contract - What are
the Phases of the Contract?) Once we make an Index Option temporarily unavailable, it
may continue to be unavailable so long as we are unable to support its minimum Cap due
to yield on investments or the availability or cost of hedging. We cannot make an Index
Option temporarily unavailable for any other reason other than being unable to support its
minimum Cap. We also cannot make an Index Option permanently unavailable, remove it
from the Contract after issue, or make an Index Option to which you are currently
allocated temporarily unavailable during its Term. A temporarily unavailable Index Option
will become available once we can support its minimum Cap. Although we cannot
eliminate an Index Option from your Contract, we reserve the right to substitute Indexes
either on a Term Start Date or during a Term.
• We reserve the right to close or substitute the Fund in which a Variable Option invests.
• We can also decline a Purchase Payment if it does not meet the requirements set out in
section 3, Purchase Payments - Purchase Payment Requirements.
• Caps and Participation Rates will change from one Term to the next subject to their
contractual minimum guarantees.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers 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 for it on the date we add the Index Option to your Contract. For a new
Index Option, the minimum Buffer is 5%.

Are There Any
Restrictions on
Contract
Benefits?
|
Yes, there are restrictions on Contract benefits.
• We do not allow Performance Locks to occur on Term End Dates.
• We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the Minimum Distribution Program and
Financial Adviser Fees program.
• The deduction of financial adviser fees is in addition to this Contract's fees and expenses,
and the deduction is treated the same as any other withdrawal under the Contract. As
such, withdrawals to pay financial adviser fees may be subject to a Daily Adjustment (that
could be negative), are subject to withdrawal charges, will reduce the Contract Value
dollar for dollar and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value proportionately (perhaps
significantly and by more than the amount withdrawn).
• The Traditional Death Benefit is only available during the Accumulation Phase. Upon
annuitization, this benefit will end.
• The Traditional Death Benefit may not be modified, but it will terminate if you take
withdrawals 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.

• If you purchased the Contract through a tax-qualified plan, as an individual retirement
annuity, or through a custodial individual retirement account, you do not get any additional

when withdrawn, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts
withdrawn before age 59 1∕2.

Your Financial Professional may receive compensation for selling this Contract to you, in
the form of commissions, additional cash benefits (e.g., cash bonuses), and non-cash
compensation. We and/or our wholly owned subsidiary distributor may also make marketing
support payments to certain selling firms for marketing services and costs associated with
Contract sales. This conflict of interest may influence your Financial Professional to
recommend this Contract over another investment for which the Financial Professional is
not compensated or compensated less.

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.
