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withdrawal charge of up to 8% of the Purchase Payment withdrawn, declining to 0% over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 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 take Income
Payments, 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
depending on the applicable Crediting Method. You will lose money if the Daily Adjustment
is negative.
●Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy,
and Index Performance Strategy. Daily Adjustments under these Crediting Methods
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;
or -10% Floor, as applicable. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily
Adjustment is: -99% for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy,
and Index Performance Strategy; and -35% for the Index Guard Strategy. 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.
●Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap.
Daily Adjustments under these Crediting Methods may be positive or equal to zero, but
cannot be negative.

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.
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 or Trigger Rate. 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. Additionally, if we add Index Options with a guaranteed
minimum Participation Rate less than 100%, the Participation Rate would be an
implicit ongoing fee and limit Index gains.

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; -70% with a 30% Buffer;
-10% with the Floor; and 0% with the Index Protection Strategy with Cap and Index
Protection Strategy with Trigger.
The limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Term to the
next if we add an Index Option or discontinue accepting new allocations into an
Index Option. However, at least one Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or
Floor no lower than -25%, or an Index Option that provides complete protection from
Index losses, will always be available for renewal under the Contract.

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, long-term income, and living benefit guarantees,
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, 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, you take Income Payments, 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 with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index
Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. 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 changing
your allocation instructions. If you do not change your allocation 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 Trigger Rate, 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 Option and the Index Options
available under the Contract.
• The Variable Option and each Index Option have their own unique risks.
• You should review the Fund's prospectus and disclosures, including risk factors, before
making an investment decision.
• Caps and Trigger Rates 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. If at the end of the
Term, the Index Return is 6% and the Trigger Rate is 3%, we apply a Performance
Credit of 3%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase
by 3% since the Term Start Date.
• The Buffer or Floor 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. You also bear the risk for Index losses down to the Floor.
- 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. If the Index Return is
-25% and the Floor is -10%, we apply a Performance Credit of -10%, meaning your
Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will decrease by 10% 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.
• Certain Index Options may not be available under your Contract.
• We can add new Index Options to your Contract in the future.
• You cannot allocate Purchase Payments to the Variable Option. The sole purpose of the
Variable Option is to hold Purchase Payments until they are transferred to your selected
Index Options.
• We restrict additional Purchase Payments during the Accumulation Phase. Each Index
Year before the Income Period, you cannot add more than your initial amount (i.e., the
total of all Purchase Payments received before the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary of
the first Contract Year) without our prior approval.
• We do not accept additional Purchase Payments during the Income Period (which is part
of the Accumulation Phase) or the Annuity Phase.
• We typically only allow assets to move into the Index Options on the Index Effective Date
and on subsequent Index Anniversaries as discussed in section 3, Purchasing the
Contract - Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers. However, if
you execute an Early Reallocation, we will move assets into an Index Option on the
Business Day we receive your Early Reallocation request in Good Order. Additionally, if
you begin Income Payments under the Income Benefit on a day other than an Index
Anniversary, any Purchase Payments held in the Variable Option will be transferred to the
1-year Term Index Options you select.
• You can typically transfer Index Option Value only on Term End Dates. However, you can
transfer assets out of an Index Option before the Term End Date by first executing a
Performance Lock and then either requesting an Early Reallocation with new allocation
instructions or changing your allocation instructions before the next Index Anniversary.
For more information, see section 6, Valuing Your Contract - Performance Locks and
Early Reallocations.
• 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.
• We reserve the right to substitute the Fund in which the Variable Option invests. We also
reserve the right to close Index Options to new Purchase Payments and transfers, and to
substitute Indexes either on a Term Start Date or during a Term.
• We also reserve the right to decline any or all Purchase Payments at any time on a
nondiscriminatory basis.
• Caps, Trigger Rates, and Participation Rates will change from one Term to the next
subject to their contractual minimum guarantees.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers, and -10% Floors 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 or Floor for it on the date we add the Index Option to
your Contract. For a new Index Option, the minimum Buffer is 5% and the minimum Floor
is -25%.

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 will not execute
your request for a Performance Lock on Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index
Protection Strategy with Cap Index Options if the Daily Adjustment is zero. This may limit
your ability to take advantage of the benefits of the Early Reallocation feature. We do not
accept Early Reallocation requests within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary.
You are limited to twelve Early Reallocation requests each Index Year.
• We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the Minimum Distribution Program.
• The death benefits and Income Benefit are only available during the Accumulation Phase.
Upon annuitization, these benefits will end.
• The Income Benefit terms stated in the Income Benefit Supplement may be modified
before issue. A minimum waiting period applies before Income Payments may be taken
under the Income Benefit, and we do not allow Income Payments to begin within 14
calendar days before an Index Anniversary. In addition, even if the waiting period has
expired, Income Payments cannot begin before age 50. During the Income Period, only
the 1-year Term Index Options are available to you. Withdrawals will reduce the initial
annual maximum Income Payment. Withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms
of the Income Benefit (Excess Withdrawals) will reduce your future annual maximum
Income Payment. These reductions may be greater than the value withdrawn and could
end the benefit. After the Issue Date the Income Benefit may terminate under certain
circumstances as stated in section 11, Income Benefit.
• If you elect Dynamic Income, the annual maximum Income Payment may decline due to
negative Index Option performance if you allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy,
Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy Index
Options. Such negative returns may significantly reduce the annual maximum Income
Payment.
• The Traditional Death Benefit may not be modified, but it will terminate if you take
withdrawals (including Income Payments) 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.
• The optional Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit may not be modified.
Withdrawals (including Income Payments) may reduce the Maximum Anniversary Value
Death Benefit's Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by more than the value withdrawn and
will end the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit if the withdrawals reduce both the
Contract Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to zero.

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.

Income
Benefit
|
Lifetime withdrawal benefit providing for yearly
Income Payments until the death of the
Covered Person(s) if conditions are satisfied.
We base the initial Income Payment on the
Lifetime Income Percentage and Contract
Value. If you choose the Level Income payment
option and meet the age requirements stated in
section 11, we guarantee your initial annual
maximum Income Payment will be at least the
Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage
multiplied by your total Purchase Payments
adjusted for withdrawals.
The automatic annual payment change feature
may increase or decrease payments after the
Income Benefit Date.
If you elect Level Income, payments increase if
your Contract Value multiplied by the Lifetime
Income Percentage as of the Income Benefit
Date results in a higher annual maximum
Income Payment and you took the maximum
permitted payment during the prior Income
Benefit Year.
If you elect Dynamic Income, the annual
maximum Income Payment will change based
on Index Option performance. Negative Index
Option performance may significantly reduce
the annual maximum Income Payment if you
allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy,
Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy,
or Index Performance Strategy Index Options.
Includes the Income Multiplier Benefit for no
additional charge that can increase income to
help pay for needed care.
Section 11 includes examples of the Lifetime
Income Percentage Calculation, Excess
Withdrawals, automatic annual Income
Payment changes, and the Income Multiplier
Benefit.

Performance
Lock and Early
Reallocations
|
Performance Lock allows you to capture the
current Index Option Value during the Term for
an Index Option. Performance Lock can help
eliminate doubt about future Index performance
and possibly limit the impact of negative
performance. Early Reallocation allows you to
transfer out of a locked Index Option on days
other than an Index Anniversary, or a Term End
Date.
A Performance Lock example is included in
section 6, Valuing Your Contract -
Performance Locks and Early Reallocations.

• Available during the Accumulation Phase.
Only available during the Annuity Phase if
you select Dynamic Income and you

Payment.
• Performance Locks must be executed before
the Term End Date.
• If a Performance Lock is executed, the
locked Index Option will no longer participate
in Index performance (positive or negative)
for the remainder of the Term, and will not
receive a Performance Credit on the Term
End Date.
• You will not know your locked Index Option
Value in advance.
• The locked Index Option Value will reflect a
Daily Adjustment.
• If a Performance Lock is executed when the
Daily Adjustment has declined, it will lock in
any loss.
• A Performance Lock can be executed only
once each Term for each Index Option.
• Cannot execute a Performance Lock for only
a portion of the Index Option Value.
• Early Reallocation requests are not accepted
within 14 calendar days before an Index
Anniversary.
• You are limited to twelve Early Reallocation
requests each Index Year.
• Deductions (e.g. withdrawals, fees) decrease
the locked Index Option Value.
• Cannot transfer locked Index Option Value
until the next Index Anniversary that occurs
on or immediately after the Lock Date unless
you execute an Early Reallocation.
• We will not provide advice or notify you
regarding whether you should execute a
Performance Lock or Early Reallocation
or the optimal time for doing so.
• We will not warn you if you execute a
Performance Lock or Early Reallocation at
a sub-optimal time.
• We are not responsible for any losses
related to your decision whether or not to
execute a Performance Lock or Early
Reallocation.

Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
|
|
Maximum
Anniversary
Value Death
Benefit
|
Provides a death benefit equal to the greater of
the Contract Value, or Guaranteed Death Benefit
Value. The Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is
the Maximum Anniversary Value.
Examples of the death benefit provided by the
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit,
including calculation of the Maximum
Anniversary Value and how withdrawals impact
this benefit, are included in section 12, Death
Benefit.
The impact of an Excess Withdrawal on the
death benefit is included in section 11.
|
0.20%
(as a
percentage of
the Charge
Base)
|
• Must be age 75 or younger to elect.
• Can only be added to a Contract at issue.
• Replaces the Traditional Death Benefit if
elected.
• Benefit cannot be removed from the Contract.
• Only available during the Accumulation Phase.
• Withdrawals, including any negative Daily
Adjustment, may significantly reduce the
benefit as indicated in section 12, Death
Benefit, and in the Excess Withdrawal example
in section 11, Income Benefit.
• Withdrawals reduce the likelihood of a lock in.
• Investment restrictions during the Income
Period may limit the benefit.
• Restrictions on Purchase Payments may limit
the benefit.
• Annuitizing the Contract will end the benefit.
|
|
● Withdrawals are subject to a withdrawal charge, income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal
tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. The amount of Contract Value available for withdrawal may also be
affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative).
|
|
● Joint Owners: We send each Joint Owner a check for half of the withdrawal amount and we tax report to each Joint
Owner individually. Tax reporting to each Joint Owner individually can create a discrepancy in taxation if only
one Joint Owner is under age 59 1∕2 because that Joint Owner may be subject to the 10% additional federal tax.
|
|
● We may be required to provide information about you or your Contract to government regulators. We may also be
required to stop Contract disbursements and thereby refuse any transfer requests, and refuse to pay any withdrawals
(including a full withdrawal), or death benefits until we receive instructions from the appropriate regulator. If,
pursuant to SEC rules, the AZL Government Money Market Fund suspends payment of redemption proceeds in
connection with a fund liquidation, we will delay payment of any transfer, full or partial withdrawal, or death benefit
from the Variable Option until the Fund is liquidated.
