Key Terms
These terms can help you understand details about your contract.
Annuitization start date: The date when annuity payments begin according to the applicable annuity payment plan (referred to as "Retirement date" in the Original Contract). Throughout this prospectus when we use the term "Annuitization start date," it includes the term "Retirement date."
Contingent annuitant (Current Contract): The person who becomes the annuitant when the current annuitant dies prior to the annuitization start date. In the case of joint ownership, one owner must also be the contingent annuitant.
Contract: A deferred annuity contract that permits you to accumulate money for retirement by making one or more purchase payments. It provides for lifetime or other forms of payouts beginning at a specified time in the future.
Contract value: The total value of your contract before we deduct any applicable charges.
Contract year: A period of 12 months, starting on the effective date of your contract and on each anniversary of the effective date.
Fixed Account: Part of our general account which includes the regular fixed account and the Special DCA fixed account (Current Contract) or the one-year fixed account and the DCA fixed account (Original Contract). Amounts you allocate to the fixed account earn interest rates we declare periodically.
Funds: A portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in which the Subaccounts invest. May also be referred to as an underlying Fund.
Guarantee Period Accounts (GPAs): Options to which you may allocate purchase payments or transfer contract value of at least $1,000. These accounts are held in a non-unitized separate account. We periodically declare the guaranteed interest rates for the available guaranteed periods. These guaranteed rates and periods of time may vary by state. Unless an exception applies, transfers or surrenders from a GPA done more than 30 days before the end of the guarantee period will receive a market value adjustment, which may result in a gain or loss.
Market Value Adjustment (MVA): A positive or negative adjustment assessed if any portion of a Guarantee Period Account is surrendered or transferred more than 30 days before the end of its guarantee period.
Service Center: Our department that processes all transaction and service requests for the contracts. We consider all transaction and service requests received when they arrive in good order at the Service Center. Any transaction or service requests sent or directed to any location other than our Service Center may end up delayed or not processed. Our Service Center address and telephone number are listed on the first page of the prospectus.
Subaccount: A division of the Variable Account, each of which invests in one Fund.

FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
Location in
Statutory
Prospectus
Are There Charges
or Adjustments for
Early
Withdrawals?
Yes.
Both Contracts. If you make an early withdrawal, you may be assessed a
surrender charge of up to 7% of the purchase payment withdrawn. For
example, if you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge
of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if
there is a negative MVA, taxes, or tax penalties.
A positive or negative MVA is assessed if any portion of a GPA is
surrendered or transferred more than thirty days before the end of its
guarantee period. You could lose up to 100% of the amount withdrawn from
a GPA as a result of a negative MVA.
For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a GPA with a 3-year guarantee
period and later withdraw the entire amount before the 3 years have
ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be
greater if you also have to pay a surrender charge, taxes, and tax
penalties.
The following transactions when applied to a GPA, which we refer to as
"early surrenders", are subject to an MVA when they occur more than
30 days prior to the end of the guarantee period, unless an exception
applies: (i) surrenders (including full and partial surrenders, systematic
withdrawals, and required minimum distributions), (ii) transfers, and
(iii) annuitization. We will not apply a negative MVA to the payment of the
death benefit. An MVA may increase the death benefit but will not decrease
it.

much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your Contract,
the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each
year, based on current charges. This estimate assumes that you do not
take withdrawals from the Contract, which could add surrender charges

RISKS

Prospectus
Is This a
Short-Term
Investment?
No.
•The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an
investor who needs ready access to cash.
•The Contracts have surrender charges, which may reduce the value of
your Contract if you withdraw money during surrender charge period.
Surrenders may also reduce or terminate contract guarantees.
•Surrenders may also be subject to taxes and tax penalties.
•Surrenders from a GPA prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee
period may also result in a negative MVA. During the 30-day period
ending on the last day of the guarantee period, you may choose to start
a new guarantee period of the same length, transfer the contract value
from the current GPA to any of the investment options available under
the Contract, apply the contract value to an annuity payout plan, or
surrender the value from the current GPA (all subject to applicable
surrender, transfer, and annuitization provisions). If we do not receive
any instructions by the end of the guarantee period, we will automatically
transfer the contract value from the current GPA into the shortest GPA
term available.
•The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and optional living benefit
guarantees mean the contract is generally more beneficial to investors
with a long term investment horizon.

Should I Exchange
My Contract?
If you already own an annuity or insurance Contract, some investment
professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Contract in
place of the one you own. You should only exchange a Contract you already
own 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.
