TABLE OF CONTENTS
SPECIAL TERMS
"We", "us", "our", "Empower", and "Company" Refer to Empower Annuity Insurance Company of America. "You", "your" and "Owner" refer to the person(s) who has been issued a Contract.
Accumulation Unit An accounting measure used to determine the Annuity Account Value before the date annuity payouts commence.
Annuitant (Joint Annuitant) The person named in the application upon whose life the payout of an annuity is based and who will receive annuity payouts. The Annuitant will be the Owner unless otherwise indicated in the application. Joint Annuitants must be one another's Spouse as of the Effective Date. If you select a Joint Annuitant, 'Annuitant' means the older Joint Annuitant or the sole surviving Joint Annuitant. If you name a contingent annuitant, the Annuitant will be considered the 'Primary Annuitant.'
Annuity Account An account we establish in your name that reflects all account activity under your Contract in both the Investment Segment and the Income Segment.
Annuity Account Value The sum of the value of each Sub-Account you have selected in both the Investment Segment and Income Segment. The Annuity Account Value is credited with a return based upon the investment experience of the Sub-Account(s) selected by you and will increase and decrease accordingly.
Annuity Commencement Date The date annuity payouts begin, which is either the Payout Election Date or the Annuitant's 99th birthday if no Payout Election Date has been established. You may change the Annuity Commencement Date if annuity payouts have not already begun. Upon death of the Owner, the Beneficiary may change the Annuity Commencement Date only if the Beneficiary is the Owner's surviving Spouse and elects to continue the Contract. The Annuity Commencement Date must occur no later than the Annuitant's 99th birthday.
Beneficiary The person(s) designated by the Owner to receive any Death Benefit under the terms of the Contract. If the surviving Spouse of an Owner is the surviving Joint Owner, the surviving Spouse will be deemed to be the Beneficiary upon such Owner's death and may take the Death Benefit or elect to continue this Contract in force.
Benefit Base For purposes of the GLWB Riders, the amount that is multiplied by the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Percentage to calculate the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal. The Benefit Base increases dollar-for-dollar upon any GLWB Rider Contribution and is reduced proportionately for any Excess Withdrawal. The Benefit Base can also increase with positive Covered Fund performance on the Ratchet Date and may also be adjusted on the Ratchet Date. The Benefit Base may not exceed $5 million. Any Covered Fund Value over $5 million will be considered excess Covered Fund Value and will not be used to calculate Guaranteed Annual Withdrawals.
Code The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all related laws and regulations which are currently in effect.
Contract The Great-West Smart Track® II - 5 Year Variable Annuity, a flexible premium, deferred, variable and fixed annuity contract.
Contributions Amounts of money you invest or deposit into your Annuity Account.
Covered Fund(s) Interests in Sub-Accounts approved by Great-West for the GLWB.
Covered Fund Value The aggregate value of each Covered Fund.
Covered Person(s) For purposes of the GLWB Rider, the natural person(s) whose age determines the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Percentage and on whose life the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount will be based. If there are two Covered Persons, the Joint Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Percentage will be based on the age of the younger life and the Installments can continue until the death of the second life. If a natural person owns the Contract, the Owner of the Contract must be a Covered Person. If a Grantor Trust owns the Contract, the Grantor(s) must be the sole Covered Person(s). A Joint Covered Person, when permitted, must be the Owner's Spouse and (i) a Joint Owner; or (ii) the 100% primary Beneficiary under the Contract.
Death Benefit The amount payable to the Beneficiary when the Owner or the Annuitant dies, as applicable.
Effective Date The date on which the first Contribution is credited to your Annuity Account. Contract Years, anniversaries, and quarters are measured from the Effective Date.
Excess Withdrawal An amount of either a Distribution or Transfer from the Covered Fund(s) during the GLWB Accumulation Phase or any amount combined with all other such amounts that exceed the annual GAW during the
3
TABLE OF CONTENTS
GAW Phase. Excess Withdrawals reduce your Benefit Base and may be subject to the Withdrawal Charge. The Guarantee Benefit Fee and the M&E Charge shall not be treated as a Distribution or Excess Withdrawal for this purpose.
FFF Portfolios Investment Strategy Portfolios, the Sub-Accounts of which may only be accessed with payment of an additional asset-based fee called the Fund Facilitation Fee.
Fund Facilitation Fee An amount deducted at the end of each valuation period from Sub-Account assets, if any, invested in certain Investment Strategy Portfolios called the FFF Portfolios. The Fund Facilitation Fee will be reflected in the Accumulation Unit values of the Sub-Accounts invested in the FFF Portfolios you select. See "Fund Facilitation Fee" below for more information.
GLWB Rider The Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) Rider issued to the Owner which specifies the benefits, rights, privileges, and obligations of the Owner and Empower in the Income Segment. The GLWB Rider is initiated by allocating contributions to an Income Segment Covered Fund. All guarantees are subject to the claims paying ability of Empower.
Grantor The natural person(s) who is treated under Sections 671 through 679 of the Code as owning the assets of a Grantor Trust. Generally, the Grantor is the creator of the trust relationship and is responsible for any tax liability on trust assets. All Grantors must be individuals.
Grantor Trust A trust, the assets of which are treated under Sections 671 through 679 of the Code as being owned by the Grantor(s). We allow a Grantor Trust to be an Owner only if it either has a single Grantor who is a natural person, or two Grantors who are one another's Spouse as of the Effective Date. Generally, if a trust is a Grantor Trust, the Grantor is treated as the owner of the assets, the trust is disregarded as a separate tax entity, and all income is taxed to the Grantor.
Guarantee Benefit Fee The fee associated with the Income Segment and GLWB Rider. The Guarantee Benefit Fee may be referred to as the GLWB Rider Fee.
Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal (GAW) For purposes of the GLWB Rider, the annualized withdrawal amount that we guarantee for the lifetime of the Covered Person(s).
Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Percentage (GAW%) The percentage of the Benefit Base that determines the amount of the GAW.
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) A payment option offered by the GLWB Rider that pays Installments during the life of the Covered Person(s). The Covered Person(s) can receive periodic payments in either monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual Installments that in total over a 12-month period equal the GAW.
Income Segment Assets allocated to the Sub-Account(s) associated with the optional GLWB Rider attached to the Contract.
Investment Segment Assets allocated to the Sub-Accounts not associated with the optional GLWB Rider attached to the Contract.
Installments Periodic payments of the GAW.
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (M&E Charge) An amount deducted from your Annuity Account Value at the end of each valuation period to compensate Empower for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the Contract.
Non-Qualified Annuity Contract An annuity Contract which is not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 408(b) (IRAs) or Section 408A (Roth IRAs) of the Code. We may issue this Contract as a Non-Qualified Annuity Contract.
Owner (Joint Owner) or You The person or persons named in the Contract who is entitled to exercise all rights and privileges under the Contract while the Annuitant is living. Joint Owners must be one another's Spouse as of the Effective Date and must both be natural persons. The Annuitant will be the Owner unless otherwise indicated in the application. If the Owner intends to hold the Contract as a Qualified Annuity Contract, the Owner must be the Annuitant and a Joint Owner is not permitted. The Owner must be either a natural person or a Grantor Trust. If the Owner is a Grantor Trust, all references to the life, age or death of the Owner pertain to the life, age or death of the Grantor(s).
Payout Election Date The date chosen for annuity payouts or periodic withdrawals to begin from the Investment Segment. The Payout Election Date must occur before the Annuitant's 99th birthday.
Portfolio A registered management investment company, or portfolio or series thereof, in which the assets of the Series Account may be invested.

Qualified Annuity Contract An annuity contract that is intended to qualify under Section 408(b) (IRAs) or Section 408A (Roth IRAs) of the Code. We may issue this Contract as a Qualified Annuity Contract.
Ratchet For purposes of a GLWB Rider, an increase in the Benefit Base if the Covered Fund Value exceeds the current Benefit Base on the Ratchet Date.
Ratchet Date During the GLWB Accumulation Phase, the Ratchet Date is the anniversary of the Owner's GLWB Rider Election Date and each anniversary thereafter. During the GAW Phase, the Ratchet Date is the Initial Installment Date and each anniversary thereafter. An Interest Rate Reset (applicable only to the T-Note Tracker GLWB Rider) may also occur on the Ratchet Date during the GAW Phase. For Contract applications signed before December 30, 2016, if the anniversary is a non-Business Day, the Ratchet Date shall be the preceding Business Day for that year. For Contract applications signed on or after December 30, 2016, if the anniversary is a non-Business Day, the Ratchet Date shall be the following Business Day for the year.
Series Account Variable Annuity-2 Series Account, the segregated asset account established by Empower under Colorado law and registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Series Account is also referred to as the separate account.

Sub-Account A division of the Series Account containing the shares of a Portfolio in the Investment Segment, the Income Segment, or both. There is a Sub-Account for each Portfolio. We may also refer to a Sub-Account as an "investment option" in the Prospectus, SAI, or Series Account financial statements.

FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
|
| |||
| |
Are There Charges for Early Withdrawals?
|
| |
Yes. If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your Contract within five (5) years following your last purchase payment and before the Annuity Commencement Date, you will be assessed a Withdrawal Charge of up to 7% on the amount of the withdrawal minus the free withdrawal amount. The Withdrawal Charge starts at 7% and declines to 0% over five (5) years. For example, assume you purchased a Contract with a single Contribution of $100,000 and surrender the Contract during the first Contract Year. Your free withdrawal amount is $10,000 (10% x $100,000) and is not subject to the withdrawal charge. You will be assessed a Withdrawal Charge of $6,300 (7% x $90,000) on the remaining amount of your surrender request.
For additional information about charges for surrenders and early withdrawals, see "Fee Tables - Owner Transaction Expenses", "Charges and Deductions - Withdrawal Charge", and "Charges and Deductions - Free Withdrawals" in the Prospectus.
|

RISKS
|
| |||
| | Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance? | | |
Yes. You can lose money by investing in this Contract, including loss of principal.
For additional information about the risk of loss, see "Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company", "The Series Account" and "The Portfolios" in the Prospectus.
|
|
| |
Is This a Short-Term Investment?
|
| |
No. This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Although you are permitted to take withdrawals or surrender the Contract, Withdrawal Charges and federal and state income taxes may apply.
Withdrawal Charges may apply for up to five (5) years following your last Contribution. Withdrawals will reduce your contract value and Death Benefit.
The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections also mean the Contract is less beneficial to investors with a short time horizon.
For additional information about the investment profile of the Contract, see "Charges and Deductions" and "Seek Tax Advice" in the Prospectus.
|
|
| |
What Are the Risks Associated with Investment Options?
|
| |
An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the Contract.
Each investment option has its own unique risks.
You should review the prospectuses for the available Portfolios and consult with your financial professional before making an investment decision.
For additional information about the risks associated with investment options, see "The Portfolios" in the Prospectus.
|
|
| |
What Are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?

RESTRICTIONS
|
| |||
| |
Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options?
|
| |
Yes. We reserve the right to remove or substitute Sub-Accounts as investment options that are available under the Contract. We also reserve the right to restrict the allocation of additional Contributions and/or Transfers of contract value to a Sub-Account if we determine the Sub-Account no longer meets one or more of our Portfolio selection criteria and/or if a Sub-Account has not attracted significant contract owner assets.
For additional information about investment options, see "Charges and Deductions", "The Portfolios" and "Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Sub-Accounts" in the Prospectus.
|
|
| |
Are There any Restrictions on Contract Benefits?
|
| |
Yes. If you elect the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit rider:
•
The investment options available to you under the Contract will be limited.
•
Withdrawals from contract value that exceed the annual withdrawal amount under the rider may significantly reduce or eliminate the rider benefits.
•
We may stop offering an optional benefit rider at any time.
For additional information about the optional benefits, see "Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit" in the Prospectus.
|
|
| |
TAXES
|
| |||
| |
What Are the Contract's Tax Implications?
|
| |
You should consult with a qualified tax advisor regarding the federal tax implications of an investment in, payments received under, and other transactions in connection with this Contract.
If you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement arrangement (IRA), you do not get any additional tax deferral. Generally, all earnings on the investments underlying the Contract are tax-deferred until distributed or deemed distributed. A distribution from a Non-Qualified Annuity Contract, which includes a surrender, withdrawal, payment of a Death Benefit, or annuity income payments, will generally result in taxable income if there has been an increase in the contract value. In the case of a Qualified Annuity Contract, a distribution generally will result in taxable income even if there has not been an increase in the contract value. In certain circumstances, a 10% additional tax may also apply if the Owner takes a withdrawal before age 59½. All amounts includable in income with respect to the Contract are taxed as ordinary income; no amounts are taxed at the special lower rates applicable to long term capital gains and corporate dividends.
For additional information about tax implications, see "Seek Tax Advice" and "Tax Consequences of Withdrawals" in the Prospectus.
|
|
| |
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
|
| |||
| |
How Are Investment Professionals Compensated?
|
| |
We pay eligible broker/dealers compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contract. Compensation paid to eligible broker/dealers is not paid directly by the Owner or the Series Account. The Company intends to fund this compensation through a number of sources, such as fees and charges imposed under the Contract and payable to the Company, and from profits on payments received by the Company from Portfolios' advisers or administrators for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Portfolios. The Company pays a portion of these proceeds to eligible broker/dealers for distribution services.
For additional information about compensation, see "Distribution of the Contracts" and "Payments We Receive" in the Prospectus.
|
|
| |
Should I Exchange My Contract?
|
| |
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the contract you already own. You should only exchange your current 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.
For additional information about exchanges, see "Seek Tax Advice" in the Prospectus.
