We provide a premium bonus rider under versions of the Contract with a 9-year surrender charge period. This bonus feature provides for a credit equal to two percent (2%) of Net Premium We receive at Our Home Office during the first Contract Year. Electing this bonus feature may be beneficial to You only if You own the Contract a sufficient length of time. Electing this option will result in the surrender charge period being increased from 5 to 9 years in length. Electing this option will not cause the mortality and expense risk fee to increase, nor will it increase surrender charges during the Contract’s first 5 years. However, during years 6-9 of the surrender charge period, the amount of the premium bonus may be more than offset by the surrender charges associated with the bonus.

  (b)   Fixed Account — You also may direct Your money to the fixed account and receive a guaranteed rate of return.
 
When can I transfer between accounts?
 
At any time before the Contract’s Annuity Date, You may transfer amounts from one Subaccount to another, and to and from the fixed account of the Contract, subject to certain restrictions. The dollar cost averaging program allows You to preschedule a series of transfers between Investment Options to take advantage of dollar cost averaging. You may select from a 3-month, 6-month or 12-month period to complete the dollar cost averaging program. The dollar cost averaging program is only available before the Annuity Date. For complete details see “The Contract — Transactions.”
 
May I withdraw all or part of the Contract value before the Annuity Date?
 
Unless restricted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), or the terms of any employer plan under which Qualified Plans are issued( if applicable) You may at any time before the Annuity Date surrender Your Contract in whole or withdraw in part for cash. Surrenders and withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges as described in “Deductions and Expenses — Surrender Charges.” In any Contract Year, You may withdraw a portion of Your Account Value without incurring a Surrender Charge.
 
What are the charges or deductions?
 
The Contract may be subject to deductions for applicable state or local government premium taxes. Premium taxes presently range from 0% to 3.5%.
 
We will deduct a mortality and expense risk fee (M&E Fee) of 1.25% (annual rate) from the Subaccounts. This fee is computed on a daily basis.
 
We will deduct an annual maintenance fee from Your Account Value on each Contract Anniversary; We will deduct a proportionate amount of this fee upon surrender of Your Contract. This fee may not exceed $25. We will waive this fee if the Account Value equals or exceeds $25,000 at the time the fee is assessed. If the Contract Owner has multiple deferred annuity contracts or certificates with Us, We will combine the values of all such contracts/certificates to determine whether the $25,000 value has been met. We sometimes issue multiple Contracts with the same first nine digits in the Contract numbers to accommodate multiple sources of funds, such as employee versus employer. In these situations, We will deduct only one annual maintenance fee per year.
 
We may deduct a Surrender Charge against surrenders and withdrawals. The Surrender Charge is a percentage of the Account Value withdrawn or surrendered. For withdrawals from the Variable Account, the Surrender Charge is deducted from the Contract Owner’s value in the Subaccount(s) from which the withdrawal is made. See “The Contract — Transactions — Surrender or Withdrawal Before Commencement of Annuity Period.”
 
What charges will I pay on an annual basis if I elect optional riders?
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — Annual Step-up — You may elect this optional death benefit at the time of Contract issue for an additional charge. If You elect this rider, You will pay 0.20%*. We deduct these charges from the Variable Account as a percentage of the Variable Account Value and compute them on a daily basis. The charge for this rider will continue until the Contract is terminated or You annuitize the Account Value.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — 5% Accumulation — You may elect this optional death benefit at the time of Contract issue for an additional charge. If You elect this rider, You will pay 0.30%*. We deduct these charges from the Variable Account as a percentage of the Variable Account Value and compute them on a daily basis. The charge for this rider will continue until the Contract is terminated or You annuitize the Account Value.
 
*   If You purchase both the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — Annual Step-up and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — 5% Accumulation at Contract issue, then, for the life of Your Contract, the total annual charge for both riders will be 0.40% of the average Variable Account Value.
 
Premium bonus rider — This option provides for a credit equal to two percent (2%) of Net Premium We receive at Our Home Office during the first Contract Year. This option must be elected at the time of Contract issue and electing this option will result in the surrender charge period being increased from 5 to 9 years in length. Electing this option will not cause the mortality and expense risk fee to increase, nor will it increase surrender charges during the Contract’s first 5 years. However, during years 6-9 of the surrender charge period, the amount of the premium bonus may be more than offset by the surrender charges associated with the bonus. We may use any proceeds from surrender charges associated with the bonus to recoup the amount of any premium bonus paid.

What are the federal income tax consequences of investing in this Contract?
 
Amounts contributed through salary reduction (other than amounts designated as Roth contributions), employer contributions, or deductible amounts in the case of traditional IRAs are not taxed at the time of contribution. Earnings are also not taxed as they accumulate within the annuity Contract. Except for qualified distributions from Roth type of accounts or after-tax contributions, Contract benefits will be taxable as ordinary income when received in accordance with Section 72 of the IRC.
 
The IRC provides penalties for premature distributions under annuity contracts and various retirement plans. Values may not be withdrawn from Qualified Plans (other than IRAs), except under certain circumstances. See “Tax Consequences.” These Contracts might not be suitable for short-term investment. See “The Contract — Transactions — Surrender or Withdrawal Before Commencement of Annuity Period.”
 
If I receive my Contract and am dissatisfied, may I return it?
 
You may return the Contract to HMLIC within 30 days of receipt of the Contract. HMLIC will refund the greater of (1) the premium payments made for the Contract, less any withdrawals and any outstanding loan balance, or (2) the Account Value minus any applicable premium bonus as of the date the returned Contract was received. We will pay the refund within 7 calendar days after We receive the Contract. Upon return of the Contract, it will be deemed void.
 
When can I begin receiving Annuity Payments, and what options are available?
 
Payments will begin on the Annuity Date set by the terms of Your Contract. Variable Annuity Payments are made only in monthly installments. Various Annuity Payment options are available under the Contract.
 
Annuity Payments may be fixed or Variable or a combination of fixed and Variable payments. The following options are available for receiving Annuity Payments: Life Annuity with payments guaranteed for periods of Life Only, 10, 15 or 20 years; Joint and Survivor Annuity; and Payments for a Specified Period.
 
Distributions from Qualified Plans may be restricted by the employer’s plan and the IRC. Early distributions may incur a tax penalty, and the IRC also generally requires that distributions from Qualified Plans (other than Roth IRAs) begin by April 1 following the calendar year in which the Contract Owner reaches age 701/2. See “Tax Consequences.”

The table showing the range of expenses for the Underlying Funds takes into account the expenses of the Asset Allocation Funds, Lifecycle Funds and the Wilshire VIT Balanced Fund, each of which is a “fund of funds.” A “fund of funds” purchases shares of other funds (each an “Acquired Fund”). Each “fund of funds” has its own set of operating expenses, as does each of the Acquired Funds in which it invests. In determining the range of Underlying Fund expenses, We have taken into account the information received from each Asset Allocation Fund, Lifecycle Fund or the Balanced Fund on the combined actual expenses for each such “fund of funds,” which include the pro rata portion of the fees and expenses incurred indirectly by an Asset Allocation Fund, Lifecycle Fund or the Balanced Fund as a result of its investment in shares of one or more Acquired Funds. See the prospectus for the Asset Allocation Funds, Lifecycle Funds or the Balanced Fund for a presentation of the applicable Acquired Fund fees and expenses.
 
Example
 
This Example is intended to help You compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, the Annual Maintenance fee, Separate Account annual expenses and Underlying Fund fees and expenses. This example includes the highest cost of any combination of available riders.
 
The Example assumes that You invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that Your investment has a 5% return each year, assumes the highest fees and expenses of any of the Underlying Funds as of December 31, 2010, without reflecting the impact of any Underlying Fund fee or expense waivers, and that a 9-year surrender charge period applies to Your Contract. Although Your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions Your costs would be:
 
If You surrender Your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:
 
                                             
     
1 Year
    3 Years     5 Years     10 Years        
        $ 1,186     $ 1,866     $ 2,452     $ 3,952          
                                             
 
If You do NOT surrender or if You annuitize Your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:
 
                                             
     
1 Year
    3 Years     5 Years     10 Years        
        $ 376     $ 1,141     $ 1,923     $ 3,952          
                                             
 
Please remember that the Example is simply an illustration and does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be higher or lower than those shown. Similarly, Your rate of return may be more or less than the 5% assumed in the Example.

 (1)  We deduct a pro rata portion of this fee upon the surrender of the Contract. We currently waive the annual maintenance fee if the Account Value equals or exceeds $25,000 at the time the fee is assessed. If the Contract Owner has multiple deferred annuity contracts or certificates with Us, We will combine the values of all such contracts/certificates to determine whether the $25,000 value has been met. We sometimes issue multiple Contracts with the same first nine digits in the Contract numbers to accommodate multiple sources of funds, such as employee versus employer. In these situations, We will deduct only one annual maintenance fee per year.
 (2)  If You purchase both the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider-Annual Step — up and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — 5% Accumulation at Contract issue, then, for the life of Your Contract, the total annual charge for both riders will be 0.40% of the average Variable Account Value.
 (3)  The portfolio expenses used to prepare this table were provided to HMLIC by the Underlying Funds. HMLIC has not independently verified such information. The expenses shown are those for the year ended December 31, 2010. Current or future expenses may be greater or less than those shown. These numbers do not reflect any waivers currently in place. The Underlying Funds may impose a redemption fee on certain transactions and these are not reflected above. Please see “Transactions-Market Timing” for a discussion of these fees.

Horace Mann Life Insurance Company, The Fixed Account, The Separate Account and The Underlying Funds
 
Horace Mann Life Insurance Company
 
HMLIC, located at 1 Horace Mann Plaza, Springfield, Illinois 62715-0001 (Our Home Office), is an Illinois stock life insurance company organized in 1949. HMLIC is licensed to do business in 48 states and in the District of Columbia. HMLIC writes individual and group life insurance and annuity contracts on a nonparticipating basis.
 
HMLIC is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Horace Mann Educators Corporation, a publicly-held insurance holding company traded on the NYSE.
 
The Fixed Account
 
The fixed account is part of HMLIC’s general account. We use general account assets to support Our insurance and annuity obligations other than those funded by separate accounts. Unlike the Separate Account, the general account isn’t segregated or insulated from claims of HMLIC’s creditors. You must depend on the financial strength of HMLIC for satisfaction of HMLIC’s obligations under the Contract. Subject to applicable law, HMLIC has sole discretion over the investment of the assets of the fixed account. HMLIC bears the full investment risk for all amounts contributed to the fixed account. HMLIC guarantees that the amounts allocated to the fixed account under the Contracts will be credited interest daily at an annual effective interest rate as specified in Your Contract. We will determine any interest rate credited in excess of the guaranteed rate at Our sole discretion. For additional information about the fixed account, see Your Contract. The fixed account has not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the fixed account.
 
The Separate Account
 
On October 9, 1965, HMLIC established the Separate Account under Illinois law. The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). The Separate Account and each Subaccount are administered and accounted for as a part of the business of HMLIC. However, the income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, of each Subaccount are credited to or charged against the amounts allocated to that Subaccount, in accordance with the terms of the Contract and without regard to other income, gains or losses of the remaining Subaccounts or of HMLIC. The assets of the Separate Account may not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business of HMLIC. All obligations arising under the Contract, including the promise to make Annuity Payments, are general corporate obligations of HMLIC. Accordingly, all of HMLIC’s assets are available to meet its obligations and expenses under the Contract. HMLIC is solely responsible for its obligations under the Contract. While HMLIC is obligated to make payments under the Contract, the amounts of Variable Annuity Payments are not guaranteed.
 
The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. HMLIC uses the assets of each Subaccount to buy shares of a corresponding Underlying Fund based on Contract Owner instructions.
 
The Underlying Funds
 
Each of the Underlying Funds is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a diversified open-end management investment company under the 1940 Act. This registration does not involve supervision of the management or investment practices or policies of the Underlying Funds by the SEC.
 
The Underlying Funds are listed below along with their primary investment objectives and the adviser to each Underlying Fund. There is no assurance that any of the Funds will achieve its stated objective. Detailed information on the Underlying Funds can be found in the current prospectus for each Underlying Fund. Prospectuses for the Underlying Funds should be read carefully in conjunction with this prospectus before investing. A copy of each Underlying Fund prospectus may be obtained without charge from HMLIC by calling (800) 999-1030 (toll-free), sending a telefacsimile (FAX) transmission to (877) 832-3785, or writing to HMLIC, P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, IL 62708-4657. You also may access the prospectuses on HMLIC’s website at horacemann.com. Once in the site, click on the “Financial Services” tab, then “Annuities” and then “Prospectuses Online”.

(1)   These Subaccounts are not available as Variable Investment Options in Non-Qualified Contracts.
 
(2)   Each of these Underlying Funds is considered a “fund of funds.” This means that the Underlying Fund purchases shares of other funds. A fund of funds may have higher expenses than funds investing directly in debt and equity securities.
 
(3)   On and after May 1, 2008, Contract Owners generally may not begin or increase premium payment allocations or make new transfers to the following Subaccounts. However, if Contract Owners were participating on that date in the dollar cost averaging program or the rebalancing program with allocations to the following Subaccounts, they may continue the program(s), but may not begin or increase allocations to the following Subaccounts. Additionally, if they were allocating Net Premiums to the following Subaccounts on that date, Contract Owners may continue those allocations.
 
Ariel Appreciation Fund®
Goldman Sachs VIT Structured Small Cap Equity Fund
 
The Underlying Funds may sell shares to separate accounts established by other insurance companies to support variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies or qualified retirement plans, or to certain pension and retirement plans qualifying under Section 401 of the IRC. It is possible that, in the future, material conflicts could arise as a result of such “mixed and shared” investing.

Table of Contents

The investment objectives and policies of certain Underlying Funds are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds that may be managed by the same investment adviser or manager. The investment results of the Underlying Funds may differ from the results of these other mutual funds. There can be no guarantee, and no representation is made, that the investment results of any of the Underlying Funds will be comparable to the investment results of any other mutual fund, even if the other mutual fund has the same investment adviser or manager.
 
Limit on Number of Subaccounts Selected — HMLIC reserves the right to limit the number of Investment Options selected at one time during the accumulation phase or the annuitization phase of Your Contract.
 
Selection of Underlying Funds — We select the Underlying Funds offered through the Separate Account based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualifications of each investment firm. Another factor We consider during the selection process is whether the Underlying Fund, its adviser or sub-adviser or an affiliate will make payments to Us or Our affiliates. (For additional information on these arrangements, see “Payments We Receive.”) We review the Underlying Funds periodically and may remove an Underlying Fund or limit its availability for new Net Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Account Value if We determine, in consultation with the sponsor of any employer plan under which Qualified Plans are issued (if applicable), that the Underlying Fund no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Underlying Fund has not attracted significant allocations from Contract Owners. We do not provide investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund. You bear the risk of any decline in Your Variable Account Value resulting from the performance of the Underlying Funds You have chosen.
 
Separate Account Pricing Agreement — Effective April 15, 2005 HMLIC entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), a national banking association located at 801 Pennsylvania Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64105, to calculate the daily Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount and to maintain certain required accounting records.
 
Payments We Receive — As described above, an Underlying Fund or an investment adviser or sub-adviser of an Underlying Fund (or its affiliates) may make payments to Us and/or certain of Our affiliates. For certain Underlying Funds, some or all such payments may be made from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from the Underlying Fund assets. In a “fund of funds” situation, We and/or certain of Our affiliates may receive 12b-1 fees on assets in the funds within the fund of funds. In such cases, We (and Our affiliates) do not also receive 12b-1 fees from the fund of funds for those same assets. Other payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from Underlying Fund assets. Contract Owners, through their indirect investment in the Underlying Funds, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the Underlying Funds for more information). The amount of payments We (or Our affiliates) receive generally is based on a percentage of assets of the Underlying Fund attributable to the Contracts and certain other variable insurance products that We issue. These percentages differ and some Underlying Funds or their advisers or sub-advisers (or their affiliates) may pay Us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%.
 
In addition, We receive payments from Wilshire Associates Incorporated as a result of Our involvement in developing and launching the Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust Lifecycle Funds (“Lifecycle Funds”). These payments are derived from the advisory fees deducted from Lifecycle Fund assets, which are paid by all investors in the Lifecycle Funds, including Contract Owners who elect to allocate Net Premium or Account Value to one or more Lifecycle Funds.
 
Proceeds from certain of these payments may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses that We and/or Our affiliates incur in promoting, marketing and administering the Contracts, and that We, in the role as an intermediary, incur in promoting, marketing and administering the Underlying Funds. We and Our affiliates may profit from these payments.
 
Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Underlying Funds — We do not guarantee that each Underlying Fund will always be available for investment through the Contract. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to add new underlying funds or classes of underlying funds, close existing Underlying Funds or classes of Underlying Funds, or substitute shares of a different underlying fund for Underlying Fund shares that are held by a Subaccount. New or substitute underlying funds may have different fees and expenses and their availability may be limited to certain classes of purchasers. We will not add, delete or substitute any shares attributable to Your interest in a Subaccount without notice to You and prior approval of the SEC and any state governmental agency, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
 
We also may establish or add new Subaccounts, remove existing Subaccounts, or combine Subaccounts. We also reserve the right to deregister the Separate Account, or to operate the Separate Account in another form permitted by law.
 
Voting Rights — We are the legal owner of the Underlying Fund shares held in the Separate Account and have the right to vote on all matters submitted to the Underlying Fund shareholders. Nevertheless, unless otherwise restricted by the retirement plan under which the Contract is issued, each Contract Owner has the right to instruct HMLIC with respect to voting his or her interest in the shares of the Underlying Funds held by the Separate Account at all shareholder meetings.
 
Before a vote of Underlying Fund shareholders, Contract Owners will receive various materials, such as proxy materials and voting instruction forms, that relate to voting Underlying Fund shares. The number of votes that may be cast by a Contract Owner is based on the number of units owned as of the record date of the shareholder meeting.
 
We will vote all of the shares We own, including those for which We have received no instructions and those attributable to investment by HMLIC, in proportion to the vote by Contract Owners who allocate or transfer amounts to the Subaccounts, as long


14


Table of Contents

as such action is required by law. Therefore, the outcome of the vote could be decided by a few Contract Owners who provide timely voting instructions. Should federal securities laws, regulations, or interpretations change, We may elect to vote Underlying Fund shares in Our own right. If required by state insurance officials, or if permitted under federal regulation, We may disregard certain Contract Owner voting instructions under certain circumstances.
 
The Contract
 
Contract Owners’ Rights
 
The Contract will be issued as a retirement plan on a qualified basis as defined in the IRC or as a Non-Qualified Contract. Annuity contracts and Qualified Plans are subject to certain tax restrictions. See “Tax Consequences.”
 
To participate in a Qualified Plan, the Contract Owner may be required to forego certain rights granted by the Contract and should refer to the provisions of his or her Contract, the provisions of the plan or trust instrument and/or applicable provisions of the IRC.
 
Unless otherwise provided by law, and subject to the terms of any governing plan or trust, or to the rights of any irrevocable beneficiary, the Contract Owner may exercise all privileges of ownership, as defined in the Contract. These privileges include the right during the period specified in the Contract to change the beneficiary, and to agree to a modification of the Contract terms. When multiple Contracts with the same first nine digits in the Contract numbers are issued to accommodate multiple sources of funds, such as employee versus employer, beneficiaries must be consistent for all such Contracts issued, and the death benefit will be determined as the aggregate death benefit for all such Contracts issued. No designation or change in designation of a beneficiary will take effect unless We receive written request therefor at Our Home Office or the Contract Owner completes the beneficiary change request on Our secure website. The request will take effect as of the date We receive it, subject to payment or other action taken by Us before Your request was received. An assignment of ownership of a Contract issued under a Qualified Plan is generally prohibited. A Non-Qualified Contract may be assigned by giving Us written notice. We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or actions of a State Insurance Commissioner, to require that the assignment will be effective only upon acceptance by Us, and to refuse assignments at any time on a non-discriminatory basis.
 
This prospectus describes only the variable portions of the Contract. On the Annuity Date, the Contract Owner has certain rights to acquire fixed annuity options. See the Contract for details regarding fixed Annuity Payments.
 
Purchasing the Contract
 
To purchase a Contract, You must complete an application bearing all requested signatures and a suitability form. For 457(b) and 401 Contracts the employer will purchase the Contract on behalf of the employee but the employee will be required to complete an application and suitability form.
 
Applications are to be sent along with Your premium payment, to Our Home Office. If the appropriate broker-dealer has approved the suitability of the sale, Your application is complete and Your initial premium payment has been received at Our Home Office, We will issue Your Contract within two business days of its receipt, and credit Your initial Net Premium to Your Contract. We deem receipt to occur on a Valuation Date if We receive a properly completed application and initial premium payment at Our Home Office before 3:00 p.m. Central Time. If received after 3:00 p.m. Central Time, We deem receipt to occur on the following Valuation Date.
 
If an incomplete application is received, HMLIC will promptly request additional information needed to process the application. Any initial premium payment received by HMLIC will be held in a suspense account, without interest, for a period not exceeding five business days unless otherwise directed by the applicant. If the necessary information is not received within these five business days HMLIC will return any initial premium payment received by HMLIC, unless otherwise directed by the applicant.
 
We generally will not issue You a Contract if the Annuitant is older than age 85 on the date the Contract would take effect. Under certain circumstances, however, We may issue Contracts above this maximum issue age.
 
Although We do not anticipate delays in Our receipt and processing of applications or premium payments, We may experience such delays to the extent agents fail to forward applications and premium payments to Our Home Office on a timely basis.
 
Canceling the Contract
 
You have the right to cancel a Contract for any reason within 30 days after You receive the Contract. To cancel a Contract, You must provide written notice of cancellation and return the Contract to Us at Our Home Office, or to the agent who sold it, within this “free look period.” HMLIC will refund the greater of: (1) the premium payments made for the Contract, less any withdrawals and any outstanding loan balance; or (2) the Account Value minus any applicable premium bonus as of the date the returned Contract was received. We will pay the refund within 7 calendar days after We receive the Contract. Upon return of the Contract, it will be deemed void.

Table of Contents

 
Premium Payments
 
Amount and Frequency of Premium Payments — Net Premium payments allocated to the Separate Account will be applied at the applicable Accumulation Unit Value next determined following receipt in good form. The minimum purchase payment for the Contract is $25 per month or $300 per year. HMLIC limits the maximum cumulative premium to $1 million without Our prior approval. HMLIC offers a 2% premium bonus under Contracts to which the premium bonus rider applies. The Surrender Charge period is 9 years for Contracts with that rider. There is no additional charge for the rider.
 
The IRC limits the amounts which may be contributed to Qualified Plans. See “Tax Consequences — Contribution Limitations and General Requirements Applicable to Qualified Plans.”
 
Allocation of Net Premiums — When You complete Your application, You will give Us instructions on how to allocate Your Net Premium payments among the fixed account and/or the available Subaccounts. The amount You direct to a particular Subaccount or to the fixed account must be in whole number percentages from 5% to 100% of the Net Premium payment. If You make additional premium payments, We will allocate the Net Premiums in the same manner as Your initial Net Premium payment. A request to change the allocation of premium payments will be effective on the Valuation Date of receipt of the request by HMLIC’s Home Office unless a future date is requested. The Contract Owner may request a change of allocation at any time.
 
Accumulation Units and Accumulation Unit Value — Net Premiums allocated to the Separate Account are credited on the basis of Accumulation Unit Value. The number of Accumulation Units purchased by Net Premium payments is determined by dividing the dollar amount credited to each Subaccount by the applicable Accumulation Unit Value next determined following receipt of the payment at Our Home Office. The value of an Accumulation Unit is affected by the investment experience of the Underlying Fund, expenses and the deduction of certain charges under the Contract.
 
Accumulation Units are valued on each Valuation Date. If We receive Your premium payment before 3:00 p.m. Central Time (or before the close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier), We will process the order using the applicable Subaccount Accumulation Unit Value determined at the close of that Valuation Day. If We receive Your premium payment at or after 3:00 p.m. Central Time (or at or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier), We will process the order using the applicable Subaccount Accumulation Unit Value determined at the close of the next Valuation Date.
 
The Accumulation Unit Value of a Subaccount for any Valuation Period is equal to:
 
  •   the net asset value of the corresponding Underlying Fund attributable to the Accumulation Units at the end of the Valuation Period;
  •   plus the amount of any income or capital gain distributions made by the Underlying Fund during the Valuation Period;
  •   minus the dollar amount of the mortality and expense risk fee and applicable rider charges We deduct for each day in the Valuation Period;
  •   divided by the total number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of the Valuation Period.
 
Transactions
 
The information in this section of the prospectus sets forth specific information and documentation that must be received by Us at Our Home Office in order to process requests for certain types of transactions. In addition to the specific requirements set forth below, Your instructions must be sufficiently clear so that We do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instructions; and We must receive all of the information and supporting legal documentation We require in order to effect the transaction.
 
Transfers — Subject to certain restrictions, You may transfer amounts from one Subaccount to another, and to and from the fixed account of the Contract, at any time before the Annuity Date. We reserve the right to limit transfers from the fixed account to the Subaccounts before the Annuity Date as follows:
 
  •   No more than 25% of the Fixed Account Value can be transferred to one or more Subaccounts during a 365 day period.
  •   Any request to transfer the total Fixed Account Value to one or more Subaccounts will be transferred over a four-year period. No more than 25% of the amount will be transferred in any year before the final transfer.
 
We may not accept or We may defer transfers at any time that We are unable to purchase or redeem shares of an Underlying Fund. We reserve the right to terminate the transfer privilege at any time for all Contract Owners. We also reserve the right to restrict or terminate the transfer privilege for any specific Contract Owner if in Our opinion We determine the Contract Owner to be using the Contract for the purposes of market timing or for any other purpose that We, in Our sole discretion, determine to be potentially detrimental to other shareholders of an Underlying Fund. See the “Market Timing” section below.
 
You may transfer value from one existing Investment Option into as many as 10 other Investment Options. The minimum amount that can be transferred is $100 or the entire dollar value of the Subaccount(s), whichever is less. A transfer may not leave a Subaccount balance or fixed account balance of less than $100.

Table of Contents

A Contract Owner may elect to transfer funds between Subaccounts and the fixed account by submitting a written request to Our Home Office, by sending a telefacsimile (FAX) transmission request to (877) 832-3785, by telephoning (800) 999-1030 (toll-free), or by accessing Our website at horacemann.com and looking in the “My Account” section.
 
Caution: Telephone and computer systems may not always be available. Any telephone or computer systems, whether Yours, Your service provider’s, Your agent’s, or Our’s, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages may delay or prevent Our processing of Your transaction request. If You experience technical difficulties or problems, You should make Your transaction request in writing to Our Home Office. You also should protect Your validating information, because self-service options will be available to anyone who provides Your validating information. We will not be able to verify that the person providing electronic transfer instructions via automated telephone or online systems and providing validating information is You or is authorized by You.
 
Depending on the means used to request a transfer, the request must: (1) be signed by the Contract Owner or, for telephone and website transactions, accompanied by validating information, (2) include the name of the Contract Owner and the Contract number, and (3) specifically state the dollar amount, a whole percentage, or the number of Accumulation Units to be transferred. The request also must specify the Investment Options from which and to which the transfer is to be made. Transfers are effective on the Valuation Date of receipt of the request (in a form acceptable to Us) at Our Home Office unless a future date is requested. See “Other Information — Forms Availability.”
 
On and after May 1, 2008, no new transfers have been allowed to the following Subaccounts:

Dollar Cost Averaging — Dollar cost averaging is a systematic method of investing in which securities are purchased at regular intervals in fixed dollar amounts so that the cost of the securities is averaged over time and possibly over various market cycles. Dollar cost averaging transfers are completed by periodically transferring equal amounts of money. You may preschedule a series of transfers between Investment Options to take advantage of dollar cost averaging. You may select from a 3-month, 6-month or 12-month period to complete the dollar cost averaging program. The minimum amount to be transferred to any one Investment Option is 5%. HMLIC reserves the right to limit the number of Investment Options and which Investment Options are available for the dollar cost averaging program. You may request dollar cost averaging by submitting a written request to Horace Mann Life Insurance Company at P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657, by calling (800) 999-1030 (toll-free), by telefacsimile (FAX) transmission to (877) 832-3785 or by accessing Our website at horacemann.com and looking in the “My Account” section. This option is only available before the Annuity Date.
 
The transfers will begin on the Valuation Date of receipt of the request in HMLIC’s Home Office (in a form acceptable to Us) and will continue on this day each period until the program is completed. If the original request is received on the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month, all subsequent transfers will be processed as of the 28th of the month. If You should decide to cancel an existing dollar cost averaging program, You must notify HMLIC’s Home Office either by writing to P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657, by calling (800) 999-1030 (toll-free), by telefacsimile (FAX) transmission to (877) 832-3785 or by accessing Our website at horacemann.com and looking in the “My Account” section.
 
Because the values of the Subaccounts from which the transfers may occur may decrease over time, the dollar cost averaging program may conclude earlier than scheduled. In addition, the last dollar cost averaging transfer may be for less than all prior transfers. Finally, the value of a Subaccount may increase and result in a balance remaining at the end of the period selected.
 
All requests must identify the Contract Owner’s name and Contract number, specify the Investment Options to be utilized and the amounts to be taken from each, and include proper authorization, such as a signature on a form or validating information if using the telephone or Our website.
 
On and after May 1, 2008, no new dollar cost averaging programs have been allowed to start to the following Subaccounts:

Rebalancing — Rebalancing is the periodic adjusting of Investment Option balances to maintain a pre-established asset allocation strategy. You may request a rebalancing of Your Account Value either once or on a periodic basis.
 
For periodic rebalancing requests, You may select from a quarterly, semiannual or annual period. Rebalancing is continuous for the period(s) selected unless changed or discontinued by the Contract Owner. The minimum percentage that may be transferred to any one Investment Option is 5%. HMLIC reserves the right to limit the number of Investment Options and which Investment Options are available for the rebalancing program. HMLIC also reserves the right to require a minimum Account Value of no greater than $5,000 before a request for rebalancing is approved. You may request rebalancing by submitting a written request to Horace Mann Life Insurance Company at P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657, by calling (800) 999-1030 (toll-free), by telefacsimile (FAX) transmission to (877) 832-3785 or by accessing Our website at horacemann.com and looking in the “My Account” section.

Table of Contents

Rebalancing will begin on the Valuation Date of receipt of the request (in a form acceptable to Us) in Our Home Office. For periodic rebalancing requests, subsequent rebalancing of Your Account Value will continue to occur on the same calendar day of each scheduled month. If the original request is received on the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month, all subsequent rebalancing of Your Account Value will be processed as of the 28th of the month. If You should decide to cancel an existing rebalancing program, You must notify Our Home Office either by writing to P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657, by calling (800) 999-1030 (toll-free), by telefacsimile (FAX) transmission to (877) 832-3785 or by accessing Our website at horacemann.com and looking in the “My Account” section.
 
All requests must identify the Contract Owner’s name and Contract number, specify the Investment Options to be utilized and the percentage to be maintained in each option, and include proper authorization, such as a signature on a form or validating information if using the telephone or Our website.
 
On and after May 1, 2008, no new rebalancing programs have been allowed to start to the following Subaccounts:

Changes to Premium Allocations — A Contract Owner may elect to change the allocation of future Net Premium payments at any time by mailing a written request to HMLIC at P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657, by calling (800) 999-1030 (toll-free), by telefacsimile (FAX) transmission to (877) 832-3785, or by accessing Our website at horacemann.com and looking in the “My Account” section. Depending on the means used to request a change, the request must: (1) be signed by the Contract Owner or, for telephone and website transactions, be accompanied by validating information, (2) include the Contract Owner’s name and Contract number, and (3) specify the new allocation percentage for the fixed account and/or for each Subaccount (in whole percentages). Allocations made to the fixed account or to one or more Subaccounts must total 100%. Changes in allocation instructions are effective on the Valuation Date of receipt of the request by Our Home Office unless a later date is requested. See “Other Information — Forms Availability.”
 
On and after May 1, 2008, existing Contracts have not been allowed to begin or increase allocations to the following Subaccounts:

Market Timing — The Contract and the Subaccounts are not designed for ‘market timing’ through frequent transfers or transfers that are large in relation to the total assets of the Underlying Fund. HMLIC discourages and does not accommodate frequent transfers among the Subaccounts or between the Subaccounts and the fixed account. Trading strategies that seek to benefit from short-term price fluctuations or price irregularities cause disruption to the Underlying Funds’ investment strategies, with potential resulting harm to performance and increased trading costs or Underlying Fund expenses, and are thereby potentially harmful to Underlying Fund shareholders, generally and Contract Owners and their Contract performance, more specifically.
 
If We determine, in Our sole discretion, that Your transfer patterns among the Subaccounts reflect a market timing strategy, We will take action to protect the other Contract Owners and/or terminate the Contract. In making these determinations, We may consider the combined transfer activity of Contracts that We believe are under common ownership, control or direction. HMLIC does not include transfers made pursuant to dollar cost averaging or rebalancing when considering whether to take action. HMLIC applies its market timing policies and procedures uniformly to all owners of a particular Contract. For example, Underlying Funds may assess a redemption fee (which We reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period of time.
 
Such action will include requiring future transfer requests under the Contract to be submitted with an original signature via U.S. Mail for a finite period of time or for the duration of the Contract. If this restriction is imposed, We will reverse within one business day any transaction inadvertently processed that is not in compliance with the restriction. You will receive written confirmation of any such reversal.
 
If HMLIC determines that You are engaging in a pattern of transfers that reflects a market timing strategy or is potentially harmful to other Contract Owners, it will notify You in writing of any restrictions.
 
The detection and deterrence of market timing involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Our ability to detect such activity may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as Our ability to predict strategies employed by others to avoid detection. Accordingly, there is no assurance that We will deter all market timing activity. Therefore, Contract owners may be subject to the risks described above.
 
The Underlying Funds may have their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their shares, which are described in the Underlying Fund prospectuses. Such policies and procedures may be more or less restrictive than HMLIC’s policies and procedures. As a result, We may not have the contractual obligation or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the Underlying Funds. However, We reserve the right to defer or restrict transfers at any time that We are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the Underlying Funds, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions as a result of the frequent trading policies and procedures of the Underlying Funds. HMLIC also reserves


18


Table of Contents

the right to implement and administer redemption fees imposed by one or more of the Underlying Funds. The prospectuses of the Underlying Funds include more details on the ability of the Underlying Funds to refuse or restrict purchases or redemptions of their shares.
 
Contract Owners should be aware that We are required to provide to an Underlying Fund, promptly upon request, certain information about the trading activity of individual Contract Owners, and to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific Contract Owners identified by the Underlying Fund as violating the frequent trading policies established for that Underlying Fund.
 
Surrender or Withdrawal Before Commencement of Annuity Period — Account Value may only be withdrawn from Qualified Plans (other than IRAs) under certain circumstances. (See “Tax Consequences.”) However, if not restricted by the IRC or employer plan under which the Contract is issued, You may surrender the Contract or withdraw part of Your Account Value for cash before Annuity Payments begin. Any partial withdrawal is subject to a $100 minimum and may not reduce the Contract Owner’s interest in a Subaccount to less than $100.
 
The surrender or partial withdrawal of Variable Account Value (rollover, exchange, etc.) is determined on the basis of the Accumulation Unit Value next computed following the receipt of a valid request for surrender or partial withdrawal in Our Home Office. A surrender or partial withdrawal may result in adverse federal income tax consequences to the Contract Owner. These consequences include current taxation of payments received, and may include penalty taxes resulting from premature distributions. (See “Tax Consequences.”)
 
A Contract Owner eligible to surrender or request a partial withdrawal may elect to do so by submitting a signed, HMLIC form to HMLIC at Our Home Office at P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657. The kind of HMLIC form to be used will depend on whether any proceeds from the withdrawal/surrender are to be sent to any party other than the Contract Owner. A Contract Owner may request a HMLIC withdrawal/surrender form by writing to P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657 or by calling 800-999-1030 or may download the form on Our secure website at horacemann.com. Depending on the volume of transaction requests received at Our Home Office, We may take up to 5 business days following Our receipt of a request for a withdrawal/surrender form to mail the form. Telefacsimile (FAX) transmissions and photocopies of the withdrawal/surrender request will be accepted only if all withdrawal/surrender proceeds are to be sent to the Contract Owner and the request, if sent by FAX, is sent to (877) 832-3785. Telefacsimile (FAX) transmissions and photocopies of the withdrawal/surrender request will not be accepted if any proceeds of the withdrawal/surrender are not to be sent to the Contract Owner. See “Tax Consequences” and “Other Information — Forms Availability.”
 
Withdrawals and surrenders will be processed either on a Valuation Date specified by You in a request, provided the Valuation Date specified occurs on or after receipt of the request at Our Home Office, or on the Valuation Date of such receipt of a valid request at Our Home Office.
 
For Your protection, We will send a confirmation letter on all address changes. If You have requested an address change within 15 days prior to Your surrender or withdrawal request, We will hold Your request until We have acquired confirmation of the correct address. Upon receipt of Your confirmation of the address, We will consider the surrender or withdrawal request to be received in good form.
 
Surrenders and withdrawals from any Subaccount are subject to the Surrender Charges shown below. There are 2 Surrender Charge periods available under this Contract. Both are shown below. The charges applicable to Your Contract will depend on how You completed the application and are printed on Your Contract data pages.

Surrender Charges are applied to surrenders and withdrawals based on the effective date of the Contract and not on the date the premium payment is made.
 
The applicable withdrawal charge will be deducted from the amount withdrawn and the balance paid to You. For example, a request to withdraw $3,000 at a 4% Surrender Charge will result in a surrender charge of $3000 × 4% = $120, which will be deducted from the withdrawal and the balance of $2,880 would be paid to You. Any taxes withheld will reduce the dollar amount of

Table of Contents

the distribution received. When You wish to receive a certain amount after the deduction of any surrender charges or applicable taxes, this is called a net withdrawal. We will determine what the total withdrawal and applicable charges would be to result in a desired net withdrawal when possible. In order for You to receive a net withdrawal of $3,000 in this example, We would need to withdraw $3,125 from Your account, raising the surrender charge to $3,125 × 4% = $125 with the balance of $3,000 paid to You.
 
The Surrender Charge is assessed on the basis of the amount surrendered or withdrawn from the Subaccount(s), but will never exceed 9% of Your total Net Premium payments to a Subaccount during the lifetime of the Contract. For example, if a Contract Owner’s Subaccount value is $12,000 and Net Premium payments to date equal $10,000 and the Contract Owner surrenders the Contract, then the Surrender Charge may not exceed 9% of $10,000 ($900).
 
If premium taxes are deducted before surrender or withdrawal, any reduction of HMLIC’s premium tax liability resulting from the surrender or withdrawal will be to HMLIC’s benefit.
 
If You request a withdrawal for hardship purposes from Your 403(b) Contract or from Your employer’s 401(k) plan using the safe harbor regulations of the IRC, You may be suspended from making contributions to this and all other plans of Your employer for six months (or an additional period of time as may be provided in Your plan document). You should consult with Your plan administrator for further guidance before making a hardship withdrawal. After the six-month period (or other applicable period) is completed, You may resume making contributions.
 
Systematic Withdrawals — You may select systematic withdrawals, and You may choose monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual withdrawals. The 29th, 30th and 31st days of the month are not allowed as start dates. Each withdrawal must be for at least $100 and the minimum duration is 12 months. HMLIC may restrict some Investment Options from being available for this program. Any applicable surrender charges will apply. Only one systematic withdrawal option can be effective at one time. The systematic withdrawal option is not available on Contracts with an active dollar cost averaging program. HMLIC provides the following systematic withdrawal options:
 
  •   Required minimum distribution — Allows You to receive Your IRS Required Minimum Distribution periodically throughout the calendar year.
  •   Free out only — Allows You to receive Your Contract free out amount in periodic payments through the year. Your Contract free out is the amount You are allowed to withdraw each year without incurring any Contract penalties.
  •   Interest only — Allows You to receive the interest earned in the fixed account under Your Contract in periodic payments through the year.
  •   Fixed amount — Allows You to receive a specified amount in periodic payments.
  •   Percent of account value — Allows You to withdraw a percentage of Your Account Value in periodic payments.
  •   Substantially equal periodic payments — Allows You to receive periodic payments throughout a year as required by the IRS to receive withdrawals without penalty prior to age 591/2.
 
A Contract Owner eligible for systematic withdrawals may elect this option by submitting a signed, HMLIC form to HMLIC at Our Home Office at P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657. A Contract Owner may request a HMLIC systematic withdrawal form by writing to P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657 or by calling 800-999-1030 or by accessing Our secure website at horacemann.com and looking in the “My Account” section.
 
Payments We Make — HMLIC ordinarily completes a transaction within seven calendar days after receipt of a proper request to transfer, surrender, partially withdraw or commence Annuity Payments. The value of a Contract is determined as of the Valuation Date on which a valid transaction request is received. However, determination of Account Value and processing the transaction may be deferred for: (1) any period during which the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend or holiday closings, or during which trading on the NYSE is restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission; (2) any period when the SEC determines that an emergency exists that makes it not reasonably practicable to sell securities or to fairly determine Accumulation Unit Values or Annuity Unit Values; or (3) any other period designated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to protect persons with interests in the Separate Account. In addition, if pursuant to SEC rules, the T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve Portfolio suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the Portfolio, We will delay the payment of any transfer, surrender, partial withdrawal, loan (if applicable) or Annuitized Value from the Portfolio until the Portfolio is liquidated.
 
We reserve the right to defer payment of amounts from the fixed account for up to six months after receipt of Your written request, but only after We have made a written request and received written approval of the insurance department of the state in which this Contract was delivered. We will pay interest from the date of receipt of Your written request on any payment deferred for 30 days or more at the applicable interest rate.
 
If You have submitted a check or draft to Our Home Office, We have the right to defer payment of surrenders, withdrawals, death benefit proceeds, or payments under a settlement option until the check or draft has been honored.
 
If mandated under applicable law, We may be required to reject a premium payment and/or block a Contract Owner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, loans (if applicable), or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulators. We also may be required to provide additional information about a Contract Owner or a Contract Owner’s account to governmental regulators.

Confirmations — HMLIC mails written confirmations of premium payments and systematic withdrawals to Contract Owners on a quarterly basis within five business days following the end of each calendar quarter. Written confirmations of transfers, changes in allocations, withdrawals (other than systematic withdrawals) and surrenders are mailed to Contract Owners within seven calendar days of the date the transaction occurred.
 
If a Contract Owner believes that the confirmation statement contains an error, the Contract Owner should notify HMLIC as soon as possible after receipt of the confirmation statement. Notice may be provided by writing to HMLIC, P.O. Box 4657, Springfield, Illinois 62708-4657, by sending a telefacsimile (FAX) transmission to (877) 832-3785, or by telephoning (800) 999-1030 (toll free).
 
Deductions and Expenses
 
We make certain charges and deductions under the Contract. These charges and deductions compensate Us for: services and benefits We provide; costs and expenses We incur; and risks We assume. The fees and charges deducted under the Contract may result in a profit to Us.
 
Services and Benefits We Provide
 
  •   the death benefit, and cash benefits under the Contract
  •   Investment Options, including Net Premium allocations
  •   administration of elective options
  •   the distribution of reports to Contract Owners
  •   Annuity Payment options
 
Costs and expenses We incur:
 
  •   costs associated with processing applications and with issuing and administering the Contract
  •   overhead and other expenses for providing services and benefits, sales and marketing expenses, including compensation paid in connection with the sale of the Contracts
  •   other costs of doing business, such as collecting premium payments, maintaining records, effecting transactions, and paying federal, state and local premium, and other taxes and fees
 
Risks We assume:
 
  •   that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Contracts exceed the charges We deduct
 
Waiver, Reduction or Elimination of deductions and expenses
 
We may reduce, waive or eliminate any of the deductions or expenses for Contracts sold under a particular Qualified Plan. Any such reduction will reflect the differences We expect in distribution costs or services meant to be defrayed by such charges. Factors We consider for a reduction, waiver or elimination of deductions or expenses include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
  •   The number of participants under the Qualified Plan;
  •   The type and nature of the Qualified Plan;
  •   The expected level of assets and/or cash flow under the Qualified Plan;
  •   Our agents’ involvement in sales activities;
  •   Our sales-related expenses;
  •   Distribution provisions under the Qualified Plan;
  •   The Qualified Plan’s purchase of one or more other variable annuity contracts from Us and the features of those contracts;
  •   The level of employer involvement in determining eligibility for distributions under the Contract; and
  •   Our assessment of financial risk to Us relating to withdrawals.
 
We will not reduce, waive or eliminate any deduction or expense in a manner that is unfairly discriminatory against any person.
 
We may also apply different deduction and expense provisions in Contracts issued to employees or members of certain employer groups or associations which have negotiated the Contract terms on behalf of their employees or members. We will offer any resulting deduction or expense uniformly to all employees or members in the group.
 
Premium Taxes — Certain state and local governments levy a premium tax, currently between 0% and 3.5%. Any premium taxes relating to the Contract will be deducted from the premium payments or the Annuitized Value, when applicable. The amount of such premium taxes, if any, and the time of deduction of those taxes will be determined by the Contract Owner’s current place of residence.
 
Surrender Charges — If You make a withdrawal or surrender under the Contract, HMLIC will assess a charge to compensate it for the cost of selling the Contract.


21


Table of Contents

Withdrawals may not be made from Qualified Plans (other than IRAs), except under certain circumstances. (See “Tax Consequences.”) However, if not restricted by the IRC or employer plan under which the Contract is issued, a Contract Owner may surrender the Contract in whole or withdraw a portion of the Account Value for cash before Annuity Payments begin.
 
HMLIC reserves the right to waive either a portion or the whole surrender charge in some situations. In some situations, You may make a withdrawal with no Surrender Charge. Please see Your Contract for further details. For further information regarding surrender or withdrawals see “The Contract-Transactions-Surrender or Withdrawal Before Commencement of Annuity Period.”
 
Annual Maintenance Fee — We will deduct an annual maintenance fee of no more than $25 from each Contract on the Contract anniversary date. This fee will be waived if the Account Value equals or exceeds $25,000 at the time the fee is assessed. We will deduct a proportionate amount of the annual maintenance fee upon the surrender of this Contract. If the Contract Owner has multiple deferred annuity contracts or certificates with Us, We will combine the values of all such contracts/certificates to determine whether the $25,000 value has been met. We sometimes issue multiple Contracts with the same first nine digits in the Contract numbers to accommodate multiple sources of funds, such as employee versus employer. In these situations, We will deduct only one annual maintenance fee per year.
 
The annual maintenance fee ceases when You apply the Annuitized Value to an Annuity Payment option. The annual maintenance fee is intended to reimburse HMLIC for actual expenses incurred in administering the Contract. We do not expect to profit from such fee and assume the risk that this annual maintenance fee may be insufficient to cover the actual costs of administering the Contract.
 
Mortality and Expense Risk Fee (“M&E Fee”) — For assuming mortality and expense risk, We apply an asset charge to the Subaccounts. This fee may not exceed the annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net assets of the Separate Account (0.45% for mortality risk, and 0.80% for expense risk; these may vary from time to time); however, We reserve the right to change the fee (subject to the 1.25% ceiling) in the future. The fee is computed on a daily basis.
 
If this charge, combined with any other charges under the Contract does not cover Our total costs for services rendered and expenses incurred, We absorb the loss. Conversely, if the fees and charges more than cover Our actual costs, the excess is added to Our surplus.
 
Charges for Optional Riders
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — Annual Step-up — The Contract Owner may elect this optional death benefit at the time of Contract issue for an additional charge. Contract Owners who elect this rider each will pay 0.20% of the Variable Account Value on an annual basis*. The charge for this rider will continue until the Contract is terminated or You annuitize the Account Value.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — 5% Accumulation — The Contract Owner may elect this optional death benefit at the time of Contract issue for an additional charge. Contract Owners who elect this rider each will pay 0.30% of the Variable Account Value on an annual basis*. The charge for this rider will continue until the Contract is terminated or You annuitize the Account Value.
 
*   If You purchase both the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — Annual Step-up and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider — 5% Accumulation at Contract issue, then, for the life of Your Contract, the total annual charge for both riders will be 0.40% of the average Variable Account Value.
 
Premium Bonus Rider — This option provides for a credit equal to two percent (2%) of Net Premium We receive at Our Home Office during the first Contract Year. Electing this option will result in the surrender charge period being increased from 5 to 9 — years in length. Electing this option will not cause the mortality and expense risk fee to increase, nor will it increase surrender charges during the Contract’s first five years. However, during years 6-9 of the surrender charge period, the amount of the premium bonus may be more than offset by the surrender charges associated with the bonus. We may use any proceeds from surrender charges associated with the bonus to recoup the amount of any premium bonus paid.
 
Operating Expenses of the Underlying Funds — The deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Underlying Funds are described in each Underlying Fund’s prospectus.

If a Contract Owner dies (or the sole Annuitant dies and the sole Contract Owner is not a natural person) before the Annuity Date and while the Contract is in force, We will pay a death benefit to the beneficiary designated by the Contract Owner. When multiple Contracts with the same first nine digits in the Contract numbers are issued to accommodate multiple sources of funds, such as employee versus employer, beneficiaries must be consistent for all such Contracts issued, and the death benefit will be determined as the aggregate death benefit for all such Contracts issued. The death benefit is determined for each beneficiary as of the date Proof of Death is received by HMLIC from such beneficiary. Proof of Death includes a certified death certificate or other satisfactory evidence of death, a completed claimant’s statement and any additional forms, documentation, and written payment instructions necessary to

process a death benefit claim, in a form satisfactory to Us. Where there are multiple beneficiaries, only one certified death certificate will be required.
 
If, pursuant to SEC rules, the T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve Portfolio suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the Portfolio, We will delay the payment of any death benefit from the Portfolio until the Portfolio is liquidated.
 
The beneficiary will receive the greatest of:
 
  1.   the Account Value; or
 
  2.   the Net Premium paid, less an adjustment for any withdrawals and an adjustment for any outstanding loan balance, or
 
  3.   the death benefit provided in any rider attached to the Contract.
 
At the option of the beneficiary, We will pay all or part of the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiary under one of the Annuity Payment options described under “The Contract — Annuity Payment Options.” If the form of Annuity Payment selected requires that payment be made by HMLIC after the death of the beneficiary, payments will be made to a payee designated by the beneficiary or, if no subsequent payee has been designated, to the beneficiary’s estate.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Riders
 
In addition to the standard death benefit included in the Contract, the Contract Owner may add the optional death benefits described below for an additional cost. These riders may not be available in all states and will not be issued on or after the Contract Owner’s 70th birthday.
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit — Annual Step-up — The Contract Owner may elect this optional death benefit at the time of Contract issue for an additional charge.
 
Death Benefit under this rider
 
Before the Annuity Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
 
  1.   the death benefit as described in the Contract; or
 
  2.   the death benefit provided in any other rider attached to the Contract; or
 
  3.   the Step-Up Death Benefit described in the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Step-Up Rider.
 
Step-Up Death Benefit
 
The Step-Up Death Benefit is based on a series of calculations of Step-Up Anniversary Value. The Step-Up Death Benefit is equal to the greatest Step-Up Anniversary Value attained from this series of calculations, adjusted by any outstanding loan balance as set forth below.
 
HMLIC calculates the Step-Up Anniversary Value for every Contract Anniversary before the oldest Contract Owner’s attainment of age 81, including the Contract Anniversary immediately following the oldest Contract Owner’s attainment of age 80, or when HMLIC receives Proof of Death, whichever is earlier.
 
For Contracts with a loan endorsement, the Step-Up Anniversary Value for a given Contract Anniversary is equal to the “Total Accumulation Value” (as defined in the loan endorsement) as of that Contract Anniversary increased by any subsequent Net Premium received, and decreased by any adjustments for any subsequent withdrawals. The Step-Up Death Benefit will be adjusted by any outstanding loan balance at the time HMLIC receives Proof of Death of any Contract Owner or the sole Annuitant if the sole Contract Owner is not a natural person. We will determine any adjustment for any subsequent withdrawal by dividing the withdrawal amount by the “Total Accumulation Value” immediately before the withdrawal and multiplying the resulting fraction by the Step-Up Anniversary Value immediately before the withdrawal. For Contracts without a loan endorsement, the Step-Up Anniversary Value for a given Contract Anniversary is equal to the Account Value as of that Contract Anniversary increased by any subsequent Net Premium received, and decreased by any adjustments for any subsequent withdrawals. We will determine any adjustment for any subsequent withdrawal by dividing the withdrawal amount by the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal and multiplying the resulting fraction by the Step-Up Anniversary Value immediately before the withdrawal. We will calculate the Death Benefit when We receive Proof of Death of any Contract Owner (or the sole Annuitant, if the sole Contract Owner is not a natural person).
 
Rider charge
 
Any charge for this rider is guaranteed not to increase after this rider has been issued.
 
We will deduct any Variable Account charge for this Rider from Your Variable Account Value and any Fixed Account charge from Your Fixed Account Value.

Termination of this rider
 
This rider cannot be terminated by the Contract Owner after the Issue Date. This rider terminates upon the earliest of:
 
  a.   when the Contract Owner applies the Annuitized Value to an annuity option under the Contract; or
 
  b.   the date the Contract terminates as a result of surrender of the Contract or death of the Contract Owner (or the sole Annuitant, if the sole Contract Owner is not a natural person).
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit — 5% Accumulation
 
The Contract Owner may elect this optional death benefit at the time of Contract issue for an additional charge.
 
Death benefit under this rider
 
Before the Annuity Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
 
  1.   the death benefit as described in the Contract; or
 
  2.   the death benefit provided in any other rider attached to the Contract; or
 
  3.   the Accumulation Death Benefit described in the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit- 5% Accumulation Rider.
 
Accumulation Death Benefit
 
This rider provides an Accumulation Death Benefit as follows:
 
On the Issue Date, the Accumulation Death Benefit is equal to the initial Net Premium received. The Accumulation Death Benefit is increased by any subsequent Net Premium received, decreased by any adjustments for withdrawals, and is accumulated at the following interest rates:
 
  1.   5 percent before or upon the Contract Anniversary immediately following the oldest Contract Owner’s attainment of age 80 depending on the option elected by the Contract Owner at the time of issue.
 
  2.   0 percent thereafter.
 
For Contracts without a loan endorsement, an adjustment for any withdrawal is determined by dividing the withdrawal amount by the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal and multiplying the resulting fraction by the Accumulation Death Benefit immediately before the withdrawal.
 
For Contracts with a loan endorsement, an adjustment for any withdrawal is determined by dividing the withdrawal amount by the Total Accumulation Value (as defined in the loan endorsement) immediately before the withdrawal and multiplying the resulting fraction by the Accumulation Death Benefit immediately before the withdrawal.
 
We will calculate the death benefit when We receive Proof of Death of any Contract Owner or the sole Annuitant, if the sole Contract Owner is not a natural person. We also will adjust the Accumulation Death Benefit by any outstanding loan balance at that time.
 
Maximum Accumulation Death Benefit value
 
The amount of the Accumulation Death Benefit shall not exceed an amount equal to 200 percent of Net Premium, less any adjustments for withdrawals, and less an adjustment for any outstanding loan balance as of the date We receive Proof of Death.
 
Rider charge
 
Any charge for this rider is guaranteed not to increase after the rider has been issued.
 
We will deduct any Variable Account charge for this Rider from Your Variable Account Value and any Fixed Account charge from Your Fixed Account Value.
 
Rider restrictions
 
We reserve the right to restrict allocations or transfers to the fixed account or any of the Subaccounts.

Termination of this rider
 
This rider cannot be terminated by the Contract Owner after the Issue Date. This rider terminates upon the earliest of:
 
  a.   when the Contract Owner applies the Annuitized Value to an annuity option; or
 
  b.   the date the Contract terminates as a result of surrender of the Contract or death of the Contract Owner (or the sole Annuitant, if the sole Contract Owner is not a natural person).
 
Annuity Payments
 
Qualified Plans often place certain limitations upon election of an Annuity Date. Generally, distributions under Qualified Plans (except Roth IRAs) must begin by April 1 following the calendar year in which the Contract Owner reaches age 701/2. (See “Tax Consequences.”) The Contract provides for fixed or Variable Annuity Payment options or a combination of both. The Contract Owner may elect to have Annuity Payments made under any one or more of the options described below or may elect a lump sum payment. To begin receiving Annuity Payments You must submit a properly completed request form to Our Home Office. If We do not receive Your written election of an Annuity Payment option at Our Home Office at least 30 days before the anticipated Annuity Date, the Annuity Payment option will be the Life Annuity with Payments Guaranteed for 10 Years which is payable on a Variable basis for any value in a Subaccount.
 
The Contract Owner may elect to have a portion of the Account Value applied to purchase Annuity Payments, leaving the remainder of the Account Value in the Contract. The portion applied to purchase Annuity Payments may be subject to taxes and an additional 10% penalty tax. See “Tax Consequences — Partial Annuitization” below. The portion of the Account Value applied to purchase Annuity Payments will be treated as a withdrawal for purposes of determining any death benefit. If the selected Annuity Payment option allows withdrawals, any withdrawal made may have tax consequences, may affect any subsequent Annuity Payments, and may be subject to surrender charges.
 
We will process the request so that the Annuity Payments begin as of the date requested except the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month. If You elect a fixed payment option, We will transfer Your Variable Account Value to the fixed account on the Valuation Date Your request is received in Our Home Office. In addition, if You elect a Variable payment option, We will transfer Your Fixed Account Value to the Variable Account on the Valuation Date We receive Your request in Our Home Office. Your Net Premium allocation(s) will be changed to the fixed account or Variable Account, depending on the type of Annuity Payment option elected. Not all Subaccount(s) may be available for Annuity Payments. Generally, at the time an Annuity Payment option is selected, a Contract Owner must elect whether to withhold for federal and state income taxes. (See “Other Information — Forms Availability” and “Tax Consequences.”)
 
In general, the longer Annuity Payments are guaranteed, the lower the amount of each payment. Fixed Annuity Payments remain level, except in the case of certain joint and survivor Annuity Payment options, and are paid in monthly, quarterly, semiannual, and annual installments. Variable Annuity Payments will vary in amount and are paid only on a monthly basis. If the Annuitized Value to be applied under any one fixed or Variable Annuity Payment option is less than $2,000 or if the option chosen would provide Annuity Payments less than $20 per month at the Annuity Date, then the Contract value may be paid in a lump sum.
 
Annuity Payment Options
 
The following Annuity Payment options are available on a Variable basis unless otherwise stated.
 
Life Annuity with Payments Guaranteed for Life Only, 10, 15, or 20 Years — Annuity Payments are made to the Contract Owner beginning with the Annuity Date. The Annuity Payments will be based upon the number of guaranteed payments selected, and the age and sex of the Annuitant on the Annuity Date. Payments for this Annuity Payment option will continue as long as the Annuitant lives, or until all guaranteed payments have been made, whichever is later.
 
Guaranteed Annuity Payments cannot extend beyond the life expectancy of the Annuitant, as defined by the IRC. If the Contract Owner dies before all Annuity Payments have been made, the remaining Annuity Payments will be paid to the Beneficiary(ies) as scheduled.
 
If the Annuitant dies before all guaranteed Annuity Payments have been made, the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments will be paid to the Contract Owner, if living, otherwise to the Beneficiary(ies) as scheduled.
 
After the Annuity Date, this Annuity Payment option cannot be changed and withdrawals cannot be made.
 
Payments for a Specified Period — Annuity Payments are made to the Contract Owner beginning with the Annuity Date and continue for the specified period of time as elected. The specified period can be as short as five years or as long as 30 years, so long as the payments extend beyond the Surrender Charge period. This option is available on a fixed payment basis only.
 
Annuity Payments cannot extend beyond the life expectancy of the Annuitant, as defined by the IRC. If the Contract Owner dies before all Annuity Payments have been made, the remaining Annuity Payments will be paid to the Beneficiary(ies) as scheduled.


25


Table of Contents

If the Annuitant dies before all Annuity Payments have been made, the remaining Annuity Payments will be paid to the Contract Owner, if living, otherwise to the Beneficiary(ies) as scheduled.
 
After the Annuity Date, the Contract Owner may change this Annuity Payment option, or withdraw a portion of the Annuitized Value applied to this option or surrender this option. Any change or withdrawal the Contract Owner makes may affect any subsequent Annuity Payments and may have tax consequences. Surrender Charges may apply. If the Contract Owner surrenders the Annuitized Value applied to this Annuity Payment option, Annuity Payments will cease and the Contract will terminate. Thereafter, HMLIC will be free of any liability for the terminated Contract.
 
Joint and Survivor Annuity — Payments are made to the Contract Owner beginning with the Annuity Date. The Annuity Payments will be based upon the specific survivor option selected, and the age and sex of the two Annuitants on the Annuity Date.
 
The available survivor options are to pay during the lifetime of the survivor (1) 50%, (2) 662/3%, or (3) 100% of the Annuity Payments paid (or the number of Annuity Units) while both Annuitants were living. Upon the death of one Annuitant, the selected survivor option percentage will be applied to determine the remaining payments during the lifetime of the survivor. Upon the death of the survivor, Annuity Payments cease. If the Contract Owner dies while at least one Annuitant is living, the remaining Annuity Payments will be paid to the Beneficiary(ies) as scheduled. After the Annuity Date, this Annuity Payment option cannot be changed and withdrawals cannot be made.
 
Other Payout Options
 
If the Contract Owner does not wish to elect one or more of the Annuity Payment options described above, the Contract Owner may:
 
  a.   receive the proceeds in a lump sum less any applicable Surrender Charges, or
 
  b.   leave the Contract with HMLIC and receive the value under any applicable required minimum distribution requirements of IRC Section 401(a) (9), see “Taxation of Qualified Plans— Required Minimum Distributions,” or
 
  c.   elect any other payout option that HMLIC makes available.
 
Amount of Fixed and Variable Annuity Payments
 
The Annuitized Value will be applied to purchase the Annuity Payment option You select. The Annuitized Value applied to purchase Variable Annuity Payments will be allocated to the Subaccount(s) as the Contract Owner instructs. Not all Subaccount(s) may be available for Annuity Payments. The first monthly Annuity Payment purchased per $1,000 applied to each Subaccount under a Variable Annuity Payment option will be the same amount as the initial guaranteed monthly Annuity Payment purchased per $1,000 applied to the corresponding fixed annuity option.
 
Fixed Annuity Payments — Except in the case of certain joint and survivor Annuity Payment options, the amount of each fixed Annuity Payment will not change. Higher Annuity Payments may be made at the sole discretion of HMLIC.
 
Variable Annuity Payments — If You choose to receive Variable Annuity Payments, the dollar amount of Your payment will depend upon: (1) Your Annuitized Value that is applied to purchase Variable Annuity Payments on the Annuity Date; (2) the assumed interest rate for the Contract (here, 2%); and (3) the performance of the Variable Investment Options You selected. The amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity Payment will vary with the form of Annuity Payment option selected and the age(s) of the Annuitant(s).
 
The first monthly Variable Annuity Payment is used to calculate the number of Variable Annuity Units for each subsequent monthly Annuity Payment. The number of Variable Annuity Units remains constant over the payment period except when a joint and survivor Annuity Payment option is chosen. In those cases, the number of Variable Annuity Units will be reduced upon the death of either Annuitant to the survivor percentage elected.
 
The amount of monthly Annuity Payments following the first Variable Annuity Payment varies from month to month. Annuity Payments are determined each month by multiplying the Variable Annuity Units by the applicable Variable Annuity Unit Value at the date of payment.
 
Annuity Unit Value
 
The Annuity Unit Value for each Subaccount was initially established at $10.00.
 
  •   The current Variable Annuity Unit Value is equal to the prior Variable Annuity Unit Value on the Valuation Date when Annuity Payments were last determined, multiplied by the applicable net investment factor. This factor is computed by dividing (1) the net asset value of a share of the Underlying Fund on the current Valuation Date, plus any dividends or other distributions, by (2) the net asset value of a share of the Underlying Fund on the Valuation Date of the preceding Valuation Period, and multiplying this result by the investment multiplier. The investment multiplier is one divided by the sum of one plus the assumed interest rate and the mortality and expense risk fee, adjusted to a monthly rate.


26


Table of Contents

  •   If the net investment factor is equal to one, then monthly payments from that Subaccount will remain level. If the net investment factor is greater than one, the monthly payments from that Subaccount will increase. Conversely, if the net investment factor is less than one, the payments from that Subaccount will decrease.
 
Not all Subaccounts may be available for Annuity Payments.
 
Misstatement of Age or Sex
 
If any age or sex has been misstated, We will pay Annuity Payments in the amount which would have been paid at the correct age and sex. We will deduct any overpayments We have made, including interest, from future payments. We will pay any under payments, including interest, in a lump sum to the Contract Owner if living, otherwise to the beneficiary(ies). The interest rate will be equal to the guaranteed interest rate after the Annuity Date, as indicated on the Annuity Data pages of the Contract. We may pay interest in excess of the guaranteed amount. This interest may vary from time to time and is not guaranteed.
 
Tax Consequences
 
The following discussion of federal income tax consequences is only a brief summary and is not intended as tax advice. The tax rules governing the provisions of annuity contracts and Qualified Plans are extremely complex, often difficult to comprehend and may be changed at anytime. This discussion does not address special rules, prior tax laws, or state tax laws. A Contract Owner or a prospective Contract Owner should consult a qualified and competent tax advisor before taking any action that could have tax consequences.
 
In addition, a Contract Owner or a prospective Contract Owner considering purchase of an annuity contract for a qualified retirement plan should understand that purchasing the Contract as an investment vehicle for the qualified plan does not provide any additional tax advantage beyond that already available through the qualified plan.
 
Tax Treatment of the Company and Status of the Contracts
 
Separate Account — The operations of the Separate Account form part of the operations of HMLIC and do not constitute a type of taxable entity distinct from Our other operations. Under present law, no federal income tax will be payable by HMLIC on the investment income and capital gains of the Separate Account if certain conditions are met.
 
Diversification Requirements — The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requires that the investments of the Separate Account be “adequately diversified” under Section 817(h) in order for the Contracts to be treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. Provided the investments of the Underlying Funds continue to meet the diversification requirements of IRC Section 817(h), the Contract Owner will not pay federal income tax on the investment income and capital gains under a Contract until Annuity Payments begin or a surrender or withdrawal is made. The Separate Account intends to comply with these diversification requirements.
 
Contract Owner Control — In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts have been considered for federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their contracts because of their ability to direct their investments to particular subaccounts of a separate account. When this is the case, the contract owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is limited guidance in this area, and some features of Our Contracts, such as the flexibility of a contract owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the investment divisions of the Separate Account, have not been explicitly addressed in published guidance. While We believe the Contracts do not give the Contract Owners investment control over Separate Account assets, We reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to prevent a Contract Owner from being treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets supporting the Contract.
 
Required Distributions upon Death of the Contract Owner — To be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, IRC Section 72(s) requires any Non-Qualified Contract to contain certain provisions specifying how interest in the Contract will be distributed in the event of the death of the Contract Owner. Specifically, IRC Section 72(s) requires that (a) if any owner dies on or after the annuity starting date, but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of such owner’s death; and (b) if any owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed within five years after the date of such owner’s death. These requirements will be considered satisfied as to any portion of a Contract Owner’s interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a designated beneficiary and which is distributed over the life of such designated beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, provided that such distributions begin within one year of the owner’s death. The designated beneficiary refers to a natural person designated by the Contract Owner as a beneficiary and to whom ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death. However, if the designated beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased owner, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner.
 
Our Contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with these IRC requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. We intend to review such provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable requirements when such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise.


27


Table of Contents

Other rules may apply to Contracts sold or issued as Qualified Plans and are discussed further below.
 
Foreign Tax Credits — We may benefit from any foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain Underlying Funds to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under federal law.
 
General Federal Income Tax Provisions
 
Deductibility of Purchase Payments — Purchase payments made under Non-Qualified Contracts are not deductible. Under certain circumstances purchase payments made under Qualified Plans may be excludible or deductible from taxable income.
 
Pre-Distribution Taxation of Contracts — Investment earnings credited to the Contract Owner’s account are generally not taxable until such amounts are distributed as defined by the IRC. However, certain assignments or pledges of a Contract or loans under a Contract may be treated as distributions and accelerate the taxability of investment earnings.
 
Premature Distribution Tax — In the case of a distribution from a Contract, there may be imposed an additional tax (penalty tax) equal to ten percent (25% for SIMPLE IRAs during the first two years) of the amount treated as income. In general, however, there is no penalty tax on distributions:
 
  •   made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 591/2;
  •   made on or after the death of a Contract Owner;
  •   attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled; or
  •   made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer.
 
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. You should consult a tax adviser with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.
 
Annuity Payments — Although, tax consequences may vary depending on the payout option elected under a Contract, some or all of each Annuity Payment is generally taxed as ordinary income, while a portion may not be taxed. The determination of the amount of each Annuity Payment that is taxable depends upon the type of Contract and Your particular circumstances.
 
Death Benefits — Amounts may be distributed from a Contract because of the death of the Contract Owner. Such death benefits are not life insurance benefits. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as withdrawals from the Contract, or (ii) if distributed under a payout option, they are taxed in the same way as Annuity Payments.
 
Non-Natural Person — If a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation or a trust) owns a Contract, investment earnings are generally not deferred until distributed but subject to tax each year. There are exceptions to this rule and if you are considering purchasing a Contract on behalf of a corporation, trust, or other entity that is not a natural person You should discuss the tax consequences with a competent tax adviser.
 
Contract Transactions — A transfer or assignment of ownership of a Contract, the designation of an Annuitant, the selection of certain maturity dates, or the exchange of a Contract may result in certain tax consequences to You that are not discussed herein. In addition, a transfer or assignment of a Contract that is a Qualified Plan is generally prohibited. A Contract Owner contemplating any such transaction should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences.
 
Withholding — Mandatory federal income tax is generally required to be withheld at the rate of 20% on eligible rollover distributions from Qualified Plans. Exceptions to this rule include: distributions from traditional IRAs or Roth IRAs; non-taxable distributions; a direct rollover or direct transfer to an eligible retirement plan; periodic payments over the Contract Owner’s life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of the Contract Owner and the beneficiary; periodic payments over a period of ten years or more; required minimum distributions; and hardship distributions.
 
For all amounts not subject to the mandatory 20% withholding except Roth IRAs, federal income tax is generally required to be withheld unless the Contract Owner elects not to have federal income tax withheld. For periodic payments (Annuity Payments), the withholding is calculated like wage withholding. For all other payments withholding is at a rate of 10%. For periodic payments, HMLIC will notify the Contract Owner at least annually of his or her right to revoke the election not to have federal income tax withheld. State and/or local tax withholding may also apply.
 
Federal Defense of Marriage Act — The right of a spouse to continue the Contract and all Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, or any other applicable federal law. Individuals who do not meet the definition of “spouse” are not entitled to the favorable federal tax treatment accorded spouses. Under current federal law, a prospective or current Contract Owner who has entered into or is contemplating a civil union or a same sex marriage should be aware that the rights of the spouse under the spousal continuation provisions of the Contract will not be available to such partner or same sex marriage spouse.

Table of Contents

 
Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts
 
Generally all or a portion of any distribution from a Non-Qualified Contract will be taxable as ordinary income. The taxable amount will be dependent upon the type of distribution and the “investment in the contract”. The investment in the contract is the total of all purchase payments and represents the portion of the Contract already taxed. However, any purchase payments that were excludible or deductible from income at the time made are not included in the investment in the contract. The remaining portion of the Contract is investment earnings, which have not yet been taxed.
 
Withdrawals — If a withdrawal of less than the entire value of a Non-Qualified Contract occurs, the amount received will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount of the investment earnings in the Contract. For Contracts issued before August 14, 1982 the rules for determination of the portion of any withdrawal that is treated as ordinary income subject to tax are different and You should consult with Your tax advisor.
 
In the case of a withdrawal of the entire value of the Contract (a surrender), the amount received generally will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the Contract Owner’s “investment in the contract”.
 
Annuity Payments — For Annuity Payments received under a Non-Qualified Contract a portion of each Annuity Payment will consist of both a return of the investment in the contract and investment earnings. The portion considered excludible from taxable income, or a return of the investment in the contract, is determined by the ratio of the total amount of the investment in the contract to the “expected return” under the Contract (exclusion ratio). Generally, the expected return is the total amount that can be expected to be received under the Contract. The calculation of the expected return will vary depending upon the payout option selected and age of the Annuitant. When the investment in the contract has been recovered all future Annuity Payments will be fully taxable. For Annuity Payments that began before January 1, 1987 the exclusion ratio will apply to all payments received.
 
Partial Annuitization — Beginning in 2011, if a portion of the Account Value of a Non-Qualified Contract is applied to purchase Annuity Payments and the Contract meets certain rules, that portion will be treated as a separate Contract with a pro rata allocation of the investment in the contract and a separate Annuity Date for purposes of determining the taxation of the Annuity Payments. The Annuity Payments must be made over a period of 10 years or more, or over the life expectancy of one or more Annuitants. The partial annuitization will be taxed as discussed in the previous paragraph.
 
Multiple Contracts — All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by Us (or Our affiliates) after October 21, 1988 to the same Contract Owner during any calendar year are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in such Contract Owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs.
 
Exchanges — Exchanges of Non-Qualified Contracts are an assignment of the accumulation in the Contract to another issuer and if properly completed are not includable in income until they are ultimately paid out to the Contract Owner.
 
Unearned Investment Income Tax — The Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA) enacted March 30, 2010 added a tax on unearned investment income of certain individuals that is effective for 2013 and future. Unearned investment income includes interest, dividend and annuity income. However, Qualified Plans are excluded from unearned investment income. The tax is 3.8% of the lesser of net unearned investment income or the amount of modified adjusted gross income that exceeds $200,000 for single taxpayers and those filing as Head of Household, $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly and $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separately.
 
Taxation of Qualified Plans
 
Qualified Plans (as defined in this prospectus) receive tax-favored treatment under provisions of the IRC. Purchasing an annuity Contract as an investment vehicle for a qualified retirement plan does not provide any additional tax advantage beyond that already available through the qualified plan. In addition, Qualified Plans under IRC Sections 401, 403(b) and 457(b) are subject to the terms of the employer’s plan, which may limit rights and options otherwise available under the Contract.
 
Purchase Payments — Purchase payments (contributions) made to Qualified Plans are generally not taxed at the time of the contribution. This includes salary reductions made under a salary reduction agreement and nonelective contributions made by Your employer. The exceptions to this are contributions to Roth IRA’s, the amount of salary reductions designated as a Roth contribution by You, and traditional IRA contributions determined to not be deductible if certain conditions are not met. These contributions are all taxed in the year of the contribution. Further, investment earnings credited to the Contract Owner’s account are generally not subject to tax until such amounts are distributed as defined by the IRC and the employer’s plan, if applicable. Distributions of investment earnings attributable to amounts from a Roth IRA or a designated Roth account may be tax free if certain conditions are met.
 
Withdrawals — If a withdrawal of a portion or all (surrender) of the value of a Qualified Plan occurs, the entire amount received will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax unless the Contract Owner has an “investment in the contract”. The investment in the contract is the total of all contributions with the exception of those that were excludible or deductible from income at the time made and represents the portion of the Contract already taxed. When there is an investment in the contract, the amount of the withdrawal not subject to tax is based upon the ratio of the investment in the contract to the total value immediately before the distribution.

Table of Contents

For withdrawals from Roth IRAs or Designated Roth accounts in a 403(b) or 401(k) investment earnings will be taxed only if the amount of the distribution exceeds the investment in the contract. If the distribution is a qualified distribution, earnings are not taxed. A distribution from a Designated Roth account in a 403(b) or 401(k) contract is considered qualified if it is made more than five years after establishment of the account and made on or after the Annuitant attains age 591/2, dies or becomes disabled. A distribution from a Roth IRA is considered qualified if it is made at least five years after issuance of the owner’s first Roth IRA and made after attainment of age 591/2, as the result of death or disability, or as a qualified first-time homebuyer distribution. In addition, a Roth IRA Contract Owner may receive a distribution of after-tax contributions at any time.
 
Loans, if not made within certain terms of the IRC, will be treated as distributions. Loans from Sections 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b) plans will generally not be treated as distributions if the terms require repayment within five years (except loans to acquire a home); the loans have substantially level payments over the term of the loan; the loans do not exceed $50,000 or 50% of the value of the Contract if less and the loans are evidenced by a legally enforceable agreement. Loans are not allowed for IRAs, SEPs, SIMPLEs, or Roth IRAs.
 
Annuity Payments — Annuity Payments received under a Qualified Plan will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax unless the Contract Owner has an investment in the contract. If the Contract Owner has an investment in the contract some portion of each Annuity Payment will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax based upon IRC Section 72 rules, the payment options selected, and age(s) of the Annuitant(s).
 
Annuity Payments from Roth IRAs or Designated Roth accounts in a 403(b) or 401(k) Contract will not be taxed if they are qualified distributions as defined above.
 
Rollovers — A rollover (or direct rollover) is a tax-free distribution (cash or other assets) from an eligible retirement plan followed by a contribution to another eligible retirement plan. Distributions that include amounts already included in income (after-tax) can be rolled over but must occur via a direct rollover with separate accounting in the new retirement plan. A direct rollover is a transaction in which no payment or distribution of funds is made to the contract owner or other payee. Distributions that are properly rolled over are not includable in income until they are ultimately paid out of the new contract. For Section 403(b), 457(b) and 401 annuities only amounts eligible for distribution can be rolled over.
 
Amounts under a Section 401 plan can be rolled over to another Section 401 plan, a traditional IRA, a Section 403(a) annuity, a Section 403(b) tax-deferred annuity or an eligible Section 457(b) governmental plan (provided it agrees to separate accounting).
 
Amounts under a traditional IRA can be rolled over to another traditional IRA, a Section 401 plan, a Section 403(a) annuity, a Section 403(b) tax-deferred annuity or an eligible Section 457(b) governmental plan (provided it agrees to separate accounting), although non-deductible contributions in a traditional IRA can only be rolled over into another IRA.
 
Amounts under a Section 403(b) tax-deferred annuity can be rolled over to a traditional IRA, a Section 401 plan, a Section 403(a) annuity, a Section 403(b) tax-deferred annuity or an eligible Section 457(b) governmental plan (provided it agrees to separate accounting).
 
Amounts under an eligible Section 457(b) governmental plan can be rolled over to a traditional IRA, a Section 401 plan, a Section 403(a) annuity, a Section 403(b) plan, or another eligible Section 457(b) governmental plan.
 
Amounts under a SIMPLE IRA can only be rolled over to another SIMPLE IRA during the first two years of participation. Thereafter, a SIMPLE IRA can be rolled over tax-free to a traditional IRA, a qualified Section 401 plan, a Section 403(b) plan, or a Section 457(b) plan (provided it agrees to separate accounting).
 
Amounts under a Roth IRA can generally only be rolled over to another Roth IRA.
 
A distribution from a Designated Roth account may only be rolled over to another Designated Roth account of a 403(b) or 401(k) plan or to a Roth IRA.
 
If the beneficiary is not the spouse, the beneficiary may make a direct rollover to an IRA or Roth IRA if from a decedent’s Roth 403(b) or Roth 401(k), which is subject to the inherited IRA minimum distribution rules.
 
Transfers and Exchanges — For Qualified Plans with the exception of Section 403(b) tax deferred annuities, a trustee-to-trustee or issuer-to-issuer transfer is a tax-free transfer from one Qualified Plan to a similar Qualified Plan that does not involve a distribution. Amounts that are properly transferred are not includable in income until they are ultimately paid out of the Contract.
 
For a Section 403(b) tax deferred annuity, a transfer is the movement of all or some portion of the balance in the 403(b) annuity from one employer’s 403(b) plan to another employer’s 403(b) plan and an exchange is the movement of all or some portion of the balance in a 403(b) annuity between investment providers in the same employer’s 403(b) plan. You should consult with Your tax advisor for additional guidance on transfers and exchanges.
 
Premature Distribution Tax — An additional tax (penalty tax) may also apply to premature distributions from a Qualified Plan. A premature distribution is generally any distribution made before the Contract Owner reaches age 591/2. The penalty tax is


30


Table of Contents

10% of the amount of the payment that is includable in income. The penalty tax increases to 25% for distributions from a SIMPLE IRA if made within the first two years of participation. The penalty tax does not apply to conversions of traditional IRAs or other eligible retirement plans to Roth IRAs and most distributions from Section 457(b) plans. However, it will apply if converted amounts are distributed during the five-year period beginning with the year of conversion. Certain payments may be exempt from the penalty tax depending on the type of Qualified Plan such as payments made: 1) after age 591/2, 2) as the result of death or disability, 3) that are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments over the life or life expectancy of the owner or the joint lives or joint life expectancy of the owner and beneficiary, 4) after separation from service and attainment of age 55, 5) for medical care, 6) under a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO), 7) to correct excess contributions or salary reductions and 8) in limited circumstances, to a reservist called to active duty after September 11, 2001. If the Contract is a traditional IRA or Roth IRA, exception 4) and 6) listed above do not apply. In addition, for a traditional IRA or Roth IRA there are additional exceptions, which include a payment made: 1) for reimbursement of health insurance while the Contract Owner was unemployed, 2) for qualified education expenses, and 3) for a qualified first-time home purchase.
 
Required Minimum Distribution Excise Tax — If the amount distributed from a Qualified Plan is less than the required minimum distribution for the year (discussed below), the Contract Owner is generally subject to a nondeductible excise tax of 50% on the difference between the required minimum distribution and the amount actually distributed.
 
Required Minimum Distributions — The Contract Owner of a Qualified Plan (other than a Roth IRA) is generally required to take certain required minimum distributions during the Contract Owner’s life and the beneficiary designated by the Contract Owner is required to take the balance of the Contract value within certain specified periods following the Contract Owner’s death. Roth IRAs are not subject to the lifetime required minimum distribution requirements but are subject to the after-death distributions requirements described below.
 
The Contract Owner must take the first required distribution by the required beginning date and subsequent required distributions by December 31 of each year thereafter. Payments must be made over the life or life expectancy of the Contract Owner or the joint lives or joint life expectancy of the Contract Owner and the beneficiary. The amount of the required minimum distribution depends upon the Contract value and the applicable life expectancy. The required beginning date for traditional IRAs, SEPs, and SIMPLE IRAs is no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Contract Owner attains age 701/2. The required beginning date for Section 401(a) plans, Section 403(b) annuities, and Section 457(b) plans is the later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Contract Owner attains age 701/2 or retires.
 
Upon the death of the Contract Owner, the beneficiary must take distributions under one of the following two rules.
 
  1.   If the Contract Owner dies on or after the required beginning date and has designated a beneficiary, any remaining balance will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as was payable under the required minimum distributions.
 
  2.   If the Contract Owner dies before the required beginning date, the balance must be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Contract Owner’s death. If the Contract value is payable to a beneficiary other than a spouse, it may be paid over the life expectancy of that beneficiary, provided distributions begin by December 31 of the calendar year following the year of the Contract Owner’s death. If the beneficiary is the spouse, the spouse may defer payments until the end of the calendar year in which the Contract Owner would have reached age 701/2 or in the case of an IRA, treat the IRA as his or her own and roll over the Contract to a traditional IRA or any other eligible retirement plan. If the beneficiary is not the spouse, the beneficiary may make a direct rollover to an IRA that meets the IRS requirements of an ‘inherited IRA’.
 
Contribution Limitations and General Requirements Applicable to Qualified Plans
 
All contributions to Qualified Plans are subject to annual limitations imposed by the IRC and discussed below for each type of Qualified Plan. Employer contributions are subject to additional limitations and are not discussed here.
 
Section 403(b) Tax-Deferred Annuity — A Section 403(b) tax-deferred (or tax-sheltered) annuity Contract is available for employees of public schools and certain organizations tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3). Salary reduction contributions are limited to the lesser of $16,500 in 2011 or 100% of income. A special catch-up contribution is available to certain Contract Owners who have 15 years of service with his or her current employer. Additional catch-up amounts, $5,500 in 2011, may be contributed if the Contract Owner is age 50 or older. Both the maximum salary reduction contribution and additional amount if You are age 50 or older are indexed for inflation in future years. Employer contributions are allowed with additional limitations under the Qualified Plan rules. Contributions may be subject to FICA (Social Security and Medicare) tax. If permitted by Your plan, some or all of Your salary reduction contributions may be treated as Designated Roth Contributions (Roth 403(b)). Roth 403(b) Contributions are salary reduction contributions that are irrevocably designated by You as not being excludable from income. Roth 403(b) Contributions and related earnings will be accounted for separately. Contributions and earnings are not included in the Annuitant’s income until distributed with the exception of Roth 403(b) contributions which are included in income in the year contributed. Distributions from Section 403(b) annuities generally cannot be made until the Annuitant attains age 591/2. However, exceptions to this rule include severance from employment, death, disability and hardship and, generally, the balance in the Contract as of December 31, 1988. Section 403(b) annuity Contract accumulations may be eligible for a tax-free rollover to an eligible retirement plan. Section 403(b) annuities are subject to the required minimum distribution rules.

Section 408 Traditional IRA — Annual contributions (other than rollover contributions) to a traditional IRA are limited to $5,000 in 2011 for both an individual and the spouse. Additional catch-up contributions, up to $1,000 in 2011, may be made if the Contract Owner is age 50 or older. Both the annual and catch-up contribution limits are indexed for inflation in future years. Contribution limits to a traditional IRA are coordinated with Roth IRA contributions. Contributions cannot be made after age 701/2 (this limitation does not apply to Roth IRAs). The amount of any annual contribution that will be deductible from gross income is based upon the individual’s compensation, coverage under a retirement plan and marital status. For 2011, if the owner of the traditional IRA Contract is an active participant in another eligible retirement plan the deduction phases out when adjusted gross income (“AGI”) is between $56,000 and $66,000 for single filers and between $90,000 and $110,000 for married individuals filing jointly and between $0 and $10,000 for married filing separately. If the owner is not an active participant in a Qualified Plan but the owner’s spouse is, the deduction phases out when AGI is between $169,000 and $179,000. Traditional IRA accumulations may be eligible for a tax-free rollover to another eligible retirement plan or transfer to another traditional IRA. Traditional IRAs are subject to required minimum distribution rules.
 
Roth IRA — Annual contributions to a Roth IRA are limited to $5,000 for 2011 for both the individual and the spouse. An additional catch-up contribution, up to $1,000 in 2011, is allowed if the individual is age 50 or older. Both the annual and catch-up contribution limits are indexed for inflation in future years. Contributions to a traditional IRA are coordinated with Roth IRA contributions. The annual contribution has additional limitations based upon the Contract Owner’s income and marital status. The annual contribution maximum is phased out when AGI is between $107,000 and $122,000 for single taxpayers and those taxpayers filing Head of Household, between $169,000 and $179,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly and between $0 and $10,000 for married taxpayers filing separately. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible and if the Contract Owner has held any Roth IRA for more than five years, certain qualified distributions are not includable in income (e.g., distributions made to a Contract Owner reaching age 591/2 or becoming disabled). Traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs (after 2 years of participation in a SIMPLE IRA) and other retirement plans can generally be converted to a Roth IRA. The pre-2010 limitations that the Contract Owner’s AGI be $100,000 or less and the Contract Owner not be married and filing a separate return have been eliminated. The converted amount is includable in income in the year of conversion. For conversions made in 2010, the converted amount will be included in income equally in 2011 and 2012, unless You chose to include the entire amount in income in 2010. Roth IRAs can only be rolled over to other Roth IRAs. If certain requirements are met, it may be possible to recharacterize a Roth IRA contribution as a traditional IRA contribution. Roth IRAs are not subject to the required minimum distribution rules.
 
Section 457(b) Eligible Governmental Plan — A Section 457(b) deferred compensation plan is available for employees of eligible state or local governments. Salary reduction amounts are limited to the lesser of $16,500 for 2011 or 100% of includable compensation. Additional catch-up amounts, up to $5,500 in 2011, maybe contributed if the Contract Owner is age 50 or older. Both the maximum salary reduction amount and additional amount if You are age 50 or older are indexed for inflation in future years. An additional special catch-up contribution is allowed in the three years of employment before attaining normal retirement age as stated in the employer’s plan. Contributions and earnings are not included in the Annuitant’s income until distributed. Distributions are not generally allowed until the Contract Owner reaches age 701/2 except for severance from employment or for an unforeseeable emergency or severe financial hardship. Section 457(b) annuity contract accumulations can be rolled over or transferred to other Section 457(b) eligible governmental plan contracts or an eligible retirement plan. Section 457(b) annuity contracts are subject to the required minimum distribution rules.
 
Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) — If the Contract is used for a SEP IRA plan and the Contract Owner has elected to make traditional IRA contributions, the same limitations regarding maximum contributions and deductibility apply as those described above under traditional IRAs. If the SEP is offered under a salary reduction basis (SARSEP), the limitation for salary reduction contributions is $16,500 in 2011. The additional catch-up amount, up to $5,500 in 2011, if the individual is age 50 or older. Both the annual and catch-up contributions are indexed for inflation in future years. New SARSEPs are not permitted after 1996, however, those in effect before 1997 may continue. Employer contributions are allowed subject to additional limitations and must be coordinated with other eligible retirement plan limitations. SEP IRA plans are subject to certain minimum participation and nondiscrimination requirements. Contributions and earnings are not includable in income until distributed. Rollover and required minimum distribution rules apply the same as for traditional IRAs.
 
Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE IRA) — If the Contract is used for a SIMPLE IRA, the salary reduction limitation is $11,500 for 2011 and is indexed for inflation in future years. As with traditional IRAs, additional contributions are allowed for individuals age 50 and older, $2,500 for 2011. Employer contributions are also required and are coordinated with other Qualified Plan contribution limitations. SIMPLE IRAs can accept rollovers only from other SIMPLE IRAs. Rollovers from SIMPLE IRAs are similar to traditional IRAs except that rollovers during the first two years of participation are limited to other SIMPLE IRAs. Required minimum distribution rules apply the same as for traditional IRAs.
 
Section 401 — Section 401 permits employers to establish various types of retirement plans (e.g., pension, profit sharing, 401(k) plans) for their employees. Retirement plans established in accordance with Section 401 may permit the purchase of annuity contracts to provide benefits under the plan. In order for a retirement plan to be considered qualified under Section 401 it must: meet certain minimum standards with respect to participation, coverage and vesting; not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees; provide contributions or benefits that do not exceed certain limitations; prohibit the use of plan assets for purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the plan participant and their beneficiaries covered by the plan; comply with certain minimum distribution requirements; provide for certain spousal survivor benefits; and comply with numerous other qualification requirements.

Table of Contents

A retirement plan qualified under Section 401 may be funded with employer contributions, employee contributions or a combination of both. Employee contributions may be made pre-tax (under a salary reduction agreement) or on an after-tax basis. If permitted by Your plan, some or all of salary reduction contributions made to 401(k) plans may be treated as Designated Roth contributions (Roth 401(k)). Roth 401(k) contributions are salary reduction contributions that are irrevocably designated by You as not being excludable from income. Roth 401(k) contributions are includable in income in the year contributed. Distributions are generally not allowed prior to retirement and You should consult Your employer’s plan or with a tax advisor for additional information.
 
Designated Roth Accounts — Section 403(b) and 401(k) plans are allowed to establish Designated Roth accounts within their plans. If this feature is included in the plan, the Contract Owner can designate some or all of his/her salary reduction contributions as Designated Roth contributions. As a result, the Designated Roth contribution will be includible in the Contract Owner’s income in the year of the contribution and be subject to all wage withholding requirements.
 
Beginning in 2011 amounts in non-Roth accounts of 403(b) and 401(k) Contracts eligible for distribution may be converted to in-plan Designated Roth accounts if allowed by the plan. Certain exceptions apply and include hardship distributions and required minimum distributions. Amounts converted to a Designated Roth account are taxable as ordinary income in the year of distribution.
 
The Designated Roth contribution combined with other salary reduction contributions are subject to the limits discussed under the “Section 403(b) Tax-Deferred Annuity” and “Section 401” sections, above. Designated Roth contributions are also subject to the same distribution restrictions as all other contributions to the plan.
 
Federal Estate Taxes
 
While no attempt is being made to discuss the federal estate tax implications of the Contract, purchasers of annuity contracts should keep in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent’s gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. The 2010 Tax Relief Act reinstated the estate tax for decedents dying in 2010 and before January 1, 2013. Consult an estate planning advisor for more information.
 
Generation-skipping Transfer Tax
 
Under the 2010 Tax Relief Act, the generation-skipping transfer tax has been reinstated for transfers made in 2010, and before January 1, 2013. The generation- skipping transfer tax may apply when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Contract Owner. In addition, regulations issued under the IRC may require Us to deduct the tax from Your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the Internal Revenue Service. Consult a tax advisor for more information.
 
Annuity Purchases by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations
 
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity contract purchasers who/that are U.S. citizens or residents. Annuity contract purchasers who/that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the annuity contract purchaser’s country of citizenship or residence. Prospective annuity contract purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.
 
Possible Tax Law Changes
 
Although the likelihood of legislative or regulatory changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contract could change by legislation, regulation or otherwise. Consult a tax advisor with respect to legislative or regulatory developments and their effect on the Contract.
 
We have the right to modify the Contract in response to legislative or regulatory changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that Contract Owners currently receive. We make no guarantee regarding the tax status of any Contract and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice.

Appendix A: Death Benefit Examples
 
5% Accumulation Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (“GMDB”) example
 
Assume the following:
 
  •   There is an initial Net Premium of $100,000.
  •   There is a withdrawal on the 3rd Contract Anniversary of $25,000. The Account Value immediately before the withdrawal is $125,000.
  •   We are calculating the death benefit on the 5th Contract Anniversary. The Account Value at that time is $101,000.
  •   There are no loans on the Contract.
  •   The client has not yet attained age 81.
  •   No other GMDB rider was selected.
 
The accumulation GMDB value at issue is equal to the initial Net Premium.
 
$100,000
 
The accumulation GMDB value immediately before the withdrawal is the initial Net Premium accumulated at 5% interest for 3 years:
 
$100,000 × 1.053 = $115,763
 
The withdrawal adjustment is the withdrawal amount divided by the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal and multiplied by the accumulation GMDB value immediately before the withdrawal:
 
$25,000/$125,000 × $115,763 = $23,153
 
The accumulation GMDB value immediately following the withdrawal is the accumulation GMDB value immediately before the withdrawal less the withdrawal adjustment:
 
$115,763 – $23,153 = $92,610
 
The accumulation GMDB value on the 5th Contract Anniversary is the accumulation GMDB value immediately following the withdrawal accumulated at 5% interest for 2 years:
 
$92,610 × 1.052 = $102,103
 
The return of premium death benefit on the 5th Contract Anniversary is the initial Net Premium less a withdrawal adjustment:
 
$100,000 – ($25,000/$125,000 × $100,000) = $80,000
 
The death benefit is the greatest of the accumulation GMDB, the return of premium death benefit, and the Account Value.
 
Max [$102,103, $80,000, $101,000] = $102,103
 
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit — Annual Step-up (“GMDB”) example
 
Assume the following:
 
  •   There is an initial Net Premium of $100,000.
  •   The Account Value on the 1st Contract Anniversary is $90,000.
  •   The Account Value on the 2nd Contract Anniversary is $120,000.
  •   There is a withdrawal during the 3rd Contract Year of $25,000. The Account Value immediately before the withdrawal is $125,000.
  •   The Account Value on the 3rd Contract Anniversary is $105,000.
  •   We are calculating the death benefit during the 4th Contract Year. The Account Value at that time is $101,000.
  •   There are no loans on the Contract.
  •   The client has not yet attained age 81.
  •   No other GMDB rider was selected.
 
The step-up anniversary value for the 1st Contract Anniversary projected to the date of death is the Account Value on the 1st Contract Anniversary less an adjustment for the subsequent withdrawal:
 
$90,000 – ($25,000/$125,000 × $90,000) = $72,000
 
The step-up anniversary value for the 2nd Contract Anniversary projected to the date of death is the Account Value on the 2nd Contract Anniversary less an adjustment for the subsequent withdrawal:
 
$120,000 – ($25,000/$125,000 × $120,000) = $96,000


36


Table of Contents

The step-up anniversary value for the 3rd Contract Anniversary projected to the date of death is the Account Value on the 3rd Contract Anniversary:
 
$105,000
 
The step-up GMDB is equal to the maximum of these values:
 
Max [$72,000, $96,000, $105,000] = $105,000
 
The return of premium death benefit at the date of death is the initial Net Premium less a withdrawal adjustment:
 
$100,000 – ($25,000/$125,000 × $100,000) = $80,000
 
The death benefit is the greatest of the step-up GMDB, the return of premium death benefit, and the Account Value.
 
Max [$105,000, $80,000, $101,000] = $105,000

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Contract Owners
Horace Mann Life Insurance Company Separate Account and
The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Horace Mann Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets for each of the sub-accounts, listed in Note 1, comprising the Horace Mann Life Insurance Company Separate Account (the Account) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement and financial highlight presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the third party administrator of the underlying sub-accounts. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the respective sub-accounts for the Horace Mann Life Insurance Company Separate Account as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. NATURE OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT – Horace Mann Life Insurance Company — Separate Account (“the Separate Account”), a unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, was established by Horace Mann Life Insurance Company (HMLIC) to fund variable annuity contracts. All assets are invested in shares of AllianceBernstein VPS Large Cap Growth Portfolio, AllianceBernstein VPS Small/Mid Cap Value Portfolio, AllianceBernstein VPS Small Cap Growth Portfolio, Ariel Fund, Ariel Appreciation Fund, Calvert S&P Mid Cap 400 Index Portfolio, Credit Suisse Trust U.S. Equity Flex I Portfolio, Davis Value Portfolio, Delaware VIP REIT Series, Delaware VIP Smid Cap Growth Series, Dreyfus Mid Cap Stock Portfolio, Dreyfus Small Cap Stock Index Portfolio, Fidelity Emerging Markets Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Growth Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Growth & Income Portfolio, Fidelity VIP High Income Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Index 500 Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Mid Cap Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio, Goldman Sachs VIT Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs VIT Structured Small Cap Equity Fund, J.P. Morgan Insurance Trust U.S. Equity Portfolio, Lazard Retirement US Small-Mid Cap Equity Portfolio, Lord Abbett Series Fund Growth Opportunities Portfolio, Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund, Putnam VT Multi-Cap Growth Fund, Rainier Small/Mid Cap Equity Portfolio, Royce Capital Fund Small Cap Portfolio, Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund, T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio VIP II, T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Stock Fund Advisor Class, T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Value Fund Advisor Class, T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve Portfolio, Wells Fargo Advantage VT Discovery Fund, Wells Fargo Advantage VT Opportunity Fund, Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio-Institutional, Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio Investment, Wilshire Large Co. Growth Portfolio-Institutional, Wilshire Large Co. Growth Portfolio-Investment, Wilshire Large Co. Value Portfolio-Investment, Wilshire Small Co. Growth Portfolio-Investment, Wilshire Small Co. Value Portfolio-Investment, Wilshire VIT 2015 ETF Fund, Wilshire VIT 2025 ETF Fund, Wilshire VIT 2035 ETF Fund, Wilshire VIT Balanced Fund, Wilshire VIT Equity Fund, Wilshire VIT Income Fund, Wilshire VIT International Equity Fund, Wilshire VIT Small Cap Growth Fund, and Wilshire VIT Socially Responsible Fund. The funds collectively are referred to as “Funds.”
 
Effective May 1, 2010 five new funds were added to HMLIC Separate Account. The funds are as follows: Calvert S&P Mid Cap 400 Index Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Emerging Markets Portfolio, Goldman Sachs VIT Mid Cap Value Fund, Lazard Retirement US Small-Mid Cap Equity Portfolio and Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund. Effective September 24, 2010 Putnam VT Vista closed and assets merged into Putnam VT Multi-Cap Growth Fund. Effective October 11, 2010 Delaware VIP Trend Series closed and assets were transferred to Delaware VIP Smid Cap Growth Series which was formerly called Delaware VIP Growth Opportunities. Effective April 25, 2009 J.P. Morgan U.S. Large Cap Core Equity Portfolio was closed and assets were transferred to J.P. Morgan Insurance Trust U.S. Equity Portfolio.
 
Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from HMLIC’s other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Separate Accounts assets applicable to the variable annuity contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business HMLIC may conduct.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investments
Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The carrying amounts of the assets approximate fair value and were measured based on the reported net asset values of the Funds, which in turn value their investment securities at fair value. Income from dividends and gains from realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains (losses) from security transactions are determined for financial reporting purposes on the first-in-first-out basis.
 
The Separate Account measures the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. Generally accepted accounting principles establish a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
 
Level 1  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2  Unadjusted observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
 
The Separate Account measures the fair value of its investments using level 2 inputs.
 
Income Taxes
The Investment income of the Separate Account is included in the tax return of HMLIC; however, no tax accrues on income attributable to tax-deferred annuities which comprise the majority of the Account contracts. Income attributable to non tax-deferred annuities is not significant.
 
3. EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS – Certain specified amounts, as described in the annuity contracts, are paid to HMLIC to cover death benefits, surrender charges, and maintenance charges.
 
For assuming mortality and expense risk, HMLIC applies an asset charge to the Separate Accounts as a direct reduction to unit value ranging from 0% to 1.65% of the daily net assets of the Separate Account depending on the product and options selected. The fee for mortality and expense risk may not exceed the annual rate of 1.25% of the net assets (0.45% for mortality risk, and 0.80% expense risk; these may vary from time to time). However, HMLIC reserves the right to change the fee (subject to the 1.25% ceiling) in the future. Optional guaranteed minimum death benefit riders can be elected at time of issue at an additional annual charge not to exceed .40% of net assets. The fees are computed on a daily basis.
 
An annual contract maintenance charge of $25 is deducted from each contract unless the contract value equals or exceeds $10,000 to reimburse HMLIC for expenses incurred in administering the contract. When taken, the contract maintenance charge is assessed on the contract anniversary date through a reduction of units. This charge may be reduced or eliminated on certain individual contracts and on some group plans. The annual maintenance charge is paid through a redemption of units and is deducted from the subaccount containing the greatest dollar amount or from the fixed portion of the contract when none of the variable subaccount(s) have any value. Charges for the annual maintenance charge cease on the maturity date. No annual maintenance charge is taken, in whole or in part, in the event of a complete surrender unless the surrender occurs on the contract anniversary date. If multiple deferred annuity contracts or certificates are held, the values of all such contracts/certificates will be combined to determine whether the $10,000 value has been met. If multiple contracts are issued to accommodate multiple sources of funds, only one maintenance charge will be deducted.
 
In certain circumstances in the event of a contract being surrendered or withdrawn from the subaccount, surrender charges are assessed by HMLIC and withheld from the proceeds of the withdrawals on the basis of the amount surrendered or withdrawn from the subaccount(s).
 
HMLIC contributed $189,584 and $215,154 in the form of bonus credits to the contract owner accounts for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in gross stipulated payments received on annuity contracts and are credited at the time the related purchase payment from the contract owner is received.

* These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the active contract owners of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for the period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction of unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.
 
** These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.
 
*** These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.
 
1   This fund became effective May 1, 2010 and the calculation reflects an eight month return.
 
2   This fund became effective September 24, 2010 and the calculation reflects a three month return.

* These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the active contract owners of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for the period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction of unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.
 
** These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.
 
*** These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.

* These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the active contract owners of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for the period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction of unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.
 
** These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.
 
*** These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.

As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.
 
*** These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.
 
   These funds became available May 1, 2006 and the calculation reflects an eight month return.

Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors
Horace Mann Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of Horace Mann Life Insurance Company (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statutory statements of operations, capital and surplus and cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described more fully in Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements, the Company prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Illinois Department of Insurance, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory accounting practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.
In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter discussed in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010.
Also, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, on the basis of accounting described in Notes 1 and 8.
As discussed in Note 1 to the statutory financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 10R, Income Taxes — Revised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10 as of December 31, 2009.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included on the accompanying schedules is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic statutory financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic statutory financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

(1) Background and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Horace Mann Life Insurance Company (the Company), an Illinois domiciled company, markets and underwrites tax-qualified retirement annuities, individual life, group disability income, and group life insurance products primarily to K-12 teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and their families.
The Company is a subsidiary of Horace Mann Educators Corporation (HMEC), which indirectly owns 100% of the outstanding shares. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Educators Life Insurance Company of America (ELICA), formerly known as Allegiance Life Insurance Company. Other affiliated companies include Horace Mann Investors, Inc., Horace Mann Insurance Company, Teachers Insurance Company, Horace Mann Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Horace Mann Lloyds, and Horace Mann Service Corporation (HMSC). HMSC performs certain fiscal and administrative services for all the affiliated companies in the group.
During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company has not participated in any business combinations nor discontinued any operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying statutory financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Illinois Department of Insurance and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), which differ materially in some respects from United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as more fully discussed in note 8. The state of Illinois has adopted the prescribed accounting practices as stated in NAIC SAP without modification. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company has no material statutory accounting practices that differ from those of the state of Illinois or the NAIC accounting practices. The significant statutory accounting practices and the Company’s related accounting policies follow.
Investments
Investments are valued in accordance with the requirements of the NAIC.
Bonds, other than NAIC class 6, not backed by other loans are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts and any impairment. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted over the estimated lives of the related bonds based on the interest yield method. NAIC class 6 bonds are carried at lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is derived from the NAIC Valuation of Securities Manual for securities listed. The Company used a pricing service in determining the fair value of its bonds when NAIC fair value was not available.
Loan-backed securities are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Loan-backed securities that have been assigned the NAIC category 6 designation are carried at lower of cost or fair value. The Company used a pricing service in determining the fair value of its loan-backed securities when NAIC fair

value was not available. When pricing sources can not provide fair value determinations, the Company obtains non-binding price quotes from broker-dealers. Prepayment assumptions were obtained from broker dealer survey values and are consistent with the current interest rate and economic environment. Significant changes in estimated cash flows from the original purchase assumptions for loan backed and structured securities are accounted for using the retrospective method. The Company had no negative yield situations requiring a change from the retrospective to prospective method.
Common stocks are carried at NAIC fair value. Fair value is derived from the NAIC Valuation of Securities Manual for securities listed. When the NAIC fair value is not available, common stocks are valued by using non-binding broker quotes.
Preferred stocks are carried at cost, less any impairment adjustments or at the lower of cost or fair value, depending on the NAIC designation of the security.
Mortgage loans are carried at the unpaid principal balance less unamortized discount and were issued at a value of no more than 75% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property. No new mortgage loans were issued during 2010, 2009 and 2008. The Company did not reduce interest rates of any outstanding mortgage loans during 2010, 2009 and 2008. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no non-performing mortgage loans or loans with past due interest or principal payments.
Contract loans are carried at the unpaid principal balance.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no investments in derivative financial instruments, joint ventures or partnerships, reverse mortgages, repurchase agreements and holds no loans or debt that has been restructured.
Cash and short-term securities have a maturity of one year or less at the time of acquisition. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value.
Interest income is recognized as earned. Investment income reflects amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts on an effective-yield basis.
Net realized investment gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification on the trade date.
The Company’s methodology of assessing other-than-temporary impairments is based on security-specific facts and circumstances as of the date of the reporting period. Based on these facts, if the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or if management does not expect to recover the entire cost basis of the debt security, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. For equity securities, if the Company does not have the ability and intent to hold the security for the recovery of cost within a reasonable period of time or if recovery of cost is not expected within a reasonable period of time, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. Additionally, if events become known that call into question whether the security issuer has the ability to honor its contractual commitments, such security holding will be evaluated to determine whether or not such security has suffered an other-than-temporary decline in value.

The Company reviews the fair value of all investments in its portfolio on a monthly basis to assess whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred. These reviews, in conjunction with the Company’s investment managers’ monthly credit reports and relevant factors such as (1) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (2) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost for bonds or cost for equity securities, (3) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (4) the stock price trend of the issuer, (5) the market leadership position of the issuer, (6) the debt ratings of the issuer, and (7) the cash flows and liquidity of the issuer or the underlying cash flows for asset-backed securities, are all considered in the impairment assessment. Based on these facts, if management believes it is probable that amounts due will not be collected according to the contractual terms of a debt security, or if the Company has the intent to sell the investment before recovery of the cost of the investment, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have occurred. For structured securities, if the present value of the cash-flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have occurred for the difference due to a non-interest related decline. The Company analyzes discounted cash flows on a quarterly basis to determine if additional other-than-temporary impairment write-downs are necessary. A write-down of an investment is recorded when a decline in the fair value of that investment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, with a realized investment loss charged to operations for the period.
Asset Valuation Reserve
The Asset Valuation Reserve (AVR) was calculated as prescribed and required by the NAIC. This reserve is maintained for the purpose of stabilizing surplus against the effects of fluctuations in the value of certain bond, stock, mortgage loan and real estate investments. Changes in the AVR reserve are charged or credited to surplus.
The balance of the AVR by component at December 31, is as follows:
                 
    2010     2009  
Bonds, preferred stocks and short-term investments
  $ 3,736     $ 3,976  
Mortgage loans
    1       23  
Real estate and other invested assets
    1,657       408  
Common stocks
    1       113  
 
           
 
               
Total AVR
  $ 5,395     $ 4,520  
 
           
At December 31, 2010 and 2009 the AVR was held at a level equal to 18.13% and 17.80%, respectively of the maximum reserve level allowed by the NAIC.
Interest Maintenance Reserve
The Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR) was calculated as prescribed by the NAIC. This reserve is designed to capture the realized capital gains and losses which result from changes in the overall level of interest rates and amortize them into operations over the approximate remaining life of the investment sold.

Aggregate Reserves
Applicable state insurance laws require that the Company set up reserves in accordance with statutory regulations, carried as liabilities to meet future obligations under outstanding policies. These reserves are the amount that, with the additional premiums to be received and interest thereon compounded annually at certain rates, is calculated to be sufficient to meet the various policy and contract obligations as they occur.
Premium deficiency reserves at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $4,200 and $3,701, respectively. The Company does not anticipate investment income as a factor in determining if a premium deficiency relating to short-duration contracts exists.
The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of insured and returns any portion of the final premiums beyond the date of death. Surrender values are not promised in excess of the legally computed reserves.
The tabular interest, tabular less actual reserve released and tabular cost have been determined by formula as prescribed in the annual statement instructions. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies is determined as the sum of the products of each valuation rate of interest and the mean of the funds subject to such rate held at the beginning and end of the valuation year.
Aggregate reserves for life policies, annuity contracts, and supplementary contracts with life contingencies are based on statutory mortality tables and interest assumptions using either the net level, or commissioners’ reserve valuation method or commissioners’ annuity reserve valuation method. The annuity reserves include the current declared interest rates through the valuation date.
Reserve for Supplementary Contracts Without Life Contingencies
This reserve represents the present value of future payments discounted with interest only. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 this liability was $111,379 and $116,113 respectively, based on average credited interest rates of 3.69% and 3.70% in 2010 and 2009, respectively and is included in “policyholder funds on deposit.”
Life Premiums
Life premiums are reflected as earned on the coverage anniversary date. Annuity and supplementary contracts with life contingencies premiums are reflected as earned when collected. Accident and health premiums are reported as revenue when due and earned on a pro rata basis over the period covered by the policy.
Deferred life premiums represent modal premiums (other than annual) to be billed in the year subsequent to the commencement of the policy year.

Mutual Fund Service Fee Income
The Company has a service agreement where the Company provides certain services to the Wilshire VIT Funds (Funds) necessary to coordinate the Funds activities with those of the separate account of the Company. For these services the Company receives a mutual fund service fee, accrued daily and paid to the Company monthly, based upon the combined assets for the Funds.
Fees From Sales of Third-Party Vendor Products
The Company has programs to offer long-term care policies, variable universal life policies and fixed interest rate universal life insurance with three third-party vendors underwriting such insurance. Under these programs, the third-party vendors underwrite and bear the risk of these insurance policies and the Company receives a commission on the sale of that business.
The Company has entered into a third-party vendor agreement with American Funds Distributors, Inc. (AFD) to market their retail mutual funds. In addition to retail mutual funds accounts, the Company’s agents can also offer a 529 college savings program and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts utilizing AFD funds. The Company has also entered into third party vendor agreements to offer 403(b)(7) tax-deferred mutual fund investment programs for school districts that would like to have product choices beyond traditional 403(b) annuity programs. The Company has also expanded its product offerings to include fixed indexed annuities and single premium immediate annuities through additional marketing alliances. These third-party vendors underwrite these accounts or contracts and the Company receives commissions on the sales of these products.
Income Taxes
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of its parent, ELICA, and its ultimate parent, HMEC and its subsidiaries. The tax sharing agreements between the Company and HMEC, as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, provide that tax on operating income is charged to the Company as if it were filing a separate federal income tax return. The Company is reimbursed for any losses or tax credits to the extent utilized in the consolidated return. Intercompany tax balances are settled quarterly with a subsequent final annual settlement upon filing the consolidated federal income tax return.
Federal income taxes are charged to operations based on current taxable income. Current year federal income tax expense or benefit is based on financial reporting income or loss adjusted for certain temporary differences, which are the result of

dissimilar financial reporting and tax basis accounting methods. A deferred tax asset (DTA), for the tax effect of temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets, is reported as an admitted asset for temporary differences that reverse in one year, but only to the extent they do not exceed the lesser of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks from temporary differences or 10% of adjusted surplus plus gross deferred tax liabilities (DTL). For 2009 and 2010, SSAP 10R allows additional admissibility of DTAs and imposes a valuation allowance utilizing a “more-likely-than-not” standard. Companies that meet certain risk-based capital thresholds can elect to admit DTAs based on reversals over three years and an increased surplus limitation of 15%. Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted SSAP 10R and elected to admit DTAs under the enhanced admissibility rules for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The change in net deferred income taxes is included directly in surplus. The additional admitted asset from SSAP 10R is included in surplus as special surplus funds.
The Company records liabilities for potential tax contingencies where it is not probable that the position will be sustainable upon audit by taxing authorities. These liabilities are reevaluated routinely and are adjusted appropriately based upon change in facts or law. The Company has no unrecorded tax contingencies.
The Company classifies all interest and penalties as income tax expense.
Acquisition Expenses
The cost of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting salaries, and related expenses, is charged to expense as incurred.
Non-admitted Assets
Assets prescribed by the Illinois Insurance Code and the NAIC as “non-admitted” (principally non-admitted deferred tax assets) are charged to unassigned surplus.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of statutory financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statutory financial statements and (2) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events
The Company had no Type I or Type II subsequent events to record for the year. Subsequent events were evaluated through April 25, 2011 for the audited financial statements that were available to be issued on April 25, 2011.
Adoption of SSAP 10R
Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 10R (SSAP 10R), Income Taxes — Revised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10. This guidance amends the accounting and reporting for deferred federal

income taxes. The Company elected to admit additional deferred tax assets in the amount of $7,359 and $7,881 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Adoption of SSAP 43R
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 43 Revised (SSAP 43R), “Loan Backed and Structured Securities”. This guidance amends the accounting and reporting for other-than-temporary impaired loan backed and structured securities. If the fair value of a loan-backed or structured security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date, SSAP 43R requires the Company to assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. Even if the Company does not intend to sell the security, and has the intent and ability to hold the security, a non-interest related loss may have occurred. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have occurred. When an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred due to a non-interest related decline, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized as a realized loss shall equal the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected.
The Company’s adoption of this guidance resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the July 1, 2009 opening balance of capital and surplus of $905. The cost basis in bonds was increased by $1,392 and the adjustment, net of applicable taxes is reflected in the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus.
Actuarial Valuation Basis Changes
Three changes in reserve valuation bases were recorded by the Company during 2008 due to refinements in the reserve calculations. The first change was related to reserves calculated using “Excess of valuation net premiums over corresponding gross premiums”. In accordance with Section 8 of the Standard Valuation Law, deficiency reserves are calculated at the contract level. The 2007 deficiency reserves on supplemental benefits were recalculated by comparing net and gross premiums at the contract level instead of on a benefit level and the resulting decrease in Aggregate Life and Annuity Reserves due to this valuation basis change was $2,343.
The Company also changed the mortality table used for the alternative minimum reserve calculation from the 2001 CSO composite mortality table to the tobacco-distinct 2001 CSO table for plans utilizing X-factors to more closely reflect the risk of the underlying business. The 2007 reserves were recalculated using the tobacco-distinct mortality table and the resulting decrease in Aggregate Life and Annuity Reserves was $1,675.
There was also a change in the valuation basis for Supplementary Contracts with Life Contingencies recorded in Aggregate Life and Annuity reserves. Historically, the Company held the greater of the calculated statutory reserve and the GAAP reserve for the reported statutory reserve on supplemental contracts with life contingencies. Due to refinements in the reserve calculations implemented during 2008, the 2007 reserves were recalculated removing the GAAP reserve constraint and the resulting decrease due to the valuation basis change was $7,419.
Liabilities and Capital and Surplus and Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus were adjusted in 2008 to reflect these valuation basis changes.

Correction of Immaterial Error
During 2008, the Company discovered that X-factors were incorrectly applied to the mortality tables past the end of the select period for the alternative minimum reserve calculation. As a result, the December 31, 2007 miscellaneous reserve for “Excess of valuation net premiums over corresponding gross premiums” reflected within Aggregate Life and Annuity Reserves was understated by $2,636. Liabilities and Capital and Surplus and Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus as of December 31, 2007 were adjusted in 2008 to correct this immaterial error.
Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information to conform with the 2010 presentation.

At December 31, 2010, the gross unrealized capital loss position in the investment portfolio was $67,085 (212 positions and less than 2% of the investment portfolio’s fair value). Securities with an investment grade rating represented 84% of the gross unrealized capital losses. The largest single unrealized capital loss was $4,343 on Morgan Stanley Capital I bonds. The portfolio included 40 securities that have been in an unrealized capital loss position for greater than 12 months, totaling 29,988. The Company views the decrease in value of all of the securities with unrealized capital losses at December 31, 2010 as temporary, expects recovery in fair value, anticipates continued payments under the terms of the securities, and does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of the cost of the investment. Therefore, no impairment of these securities was recorded at December 31, 2010.
The carrying value and statutory fair value of investments in bonds, preferred and common stocks as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no unused net operating loss or capital loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income.
The amount of federal income taxes incurred that are available for recoupment in the event of future net losses are:
                         
Year   Ordinary   Capital   Total
2010
  $ 13,663     $ 1,460     $ 15,123  
2009
  $ 10,809     $ 4,077     $ 14,886  
2008
  $ 6,240     $     $ 6,240  
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no deposits reported as admitted assets under Section 6603 of the Internal Revenue Code.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had federal income tax returns for the 2006 through 2010 tax years still open and subject to examination by all major tax authorities. In 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published guidance regarding separate account (variable annuity) dividend received deductions for life insurance companies in which they advised (1) they would concede appeals related to the issue and not raise the issue on audit unless the taxpayer changed its methodology for computing the deduction, and (2) any change in law regarding this deduction would be effective prospectively. As a result, the Company believes this issue is no longer uncertain and recorded a reduction of $1,335, including interest, in uncertain tax position liability related to the separate account dividend received deduction.
In 2008, the IRS completed its examination of the tax years 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction in its liability for uncertain tax positions including interest of $2,993.
The Company records liabilities for potential tax contingencies where it is not probable that the position will be sustainable upon audit by taxing authorities. These liabilities are reevaluated routinely and are adjusted appropriately based upon change in facts or law. The company has no unrecorded tax contingencies.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of tax contingencies is as follows:
                 
    2010     2009  
Balance as of the beginning of the year
  $ 1,211     $ 897  
Additions based on tax contingencies related to the current year
          362  
Reductions for tax positions for prior years
    (1,211 )     (48 )
 
           
 
               
Balance as of the end of the year
  $     $ 1,211  
 
           
All of the liability for tax contingencies would affect income tax incurred if not realized. There are no contingencies for which it is reasonably possible the total tax contingency will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

The Company classifies all interest and penalties as income tax expense. The 2010 expense for interest and penalties was $28 ($18 net of tax benefit); for 2009, this amount was $82 ($53 net of tax); for 2008, this amount was $12 ($8 net of tax). The Company has recorded $269 and $242 in gross liabilities for tax related interest and penalties on its Statutory Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(6) Restrictions of Surplus
The amount of dividends which can be paid by Illinois insurance companies without prior approval of the State Insurance Commissioner is subject to restrictions relating to profitability and statutory surplus. Dividends which may be paid to the Parent Company during 2011 without prior approval are approximately $46,500. Ordinary dividends of $30,000, $6,000 and $24,000 were paid in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
(7) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value have been classified, for disclosure purposes, in accordance with SSAP 100, Fair Value Measurements. SSAP 100 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value into the three-level fair value hierarchy as reflected in the table below. The three-level fair value hierarchy is based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation method by which fair value was determined. The three levels are defined as follows.
         
 
  Level 1   Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities (both common stock and preferred stock) that are traded in an active exchange market.
 
       
 
  Level 2   Unadjusted observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments.
 
       
 
  Level 3   Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private debt and equity investments.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not any event has occurred or circumstances have changed that would cause an instrument to be transferred into or out of Level 3. There were no transfers of assets at fair value recorded in or out of Level 3 or between levels during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Investments in fixed maturity and equity securities are carried at NAIC supplied prices, whenever available. When a price for a security is not available through the NAIC, the Company obtains the price from its custodian bank or investment managers. Both the investment managers and the custodian bank use a variety of independent, nationally recognized pricing sources to determine market valuations. Each designate specific pricing services or indexes for each sector of the market based upon the provider’s expertise. Typical inputs used by these pricing sources include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, matrix pricing, issuer spreads, bids, offers, and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.
For fixed maturity securities, each month the Company receives prices from its investment managers and custodian bank. Fair values for the Company’s fixed maturity securities are based primarily on prices provided by its investment managers and sometimes by its custodian bank. The prices from the custodian bank are compared to prices from the investment managers. Differences in prices between the sources that the Company considers significant are researched and the Company utilizes the price that it considers most representative of an exit price. Both the investment managers and the custodian bank use a variety of independent, nationally recognized pricing sources to determine market valuations. Each designate specific pricing services or indexes for each sector of the market based upon the provider’s expertise. Typical inputs used by these pricing sources include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, matrix pricing, issuer spreads, bids, offers, and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.
When the pricing sources cannot provide fair value determinations, the Company obtains non-binding price quotes from broker-dealers. The broker-dealer’s valuation methodology is sometimes matrix-based, using indicative evaluation measures and adjustments for specific security characteristics and market sentiment. When non-binding broker-dealer quotes could be corroborated by comparison to other vendor quotes, pricing models or analysis, they were generally classified as Level 2 inputs.
The Company analyzes price and market valuations received to verify reasonableness, to understand the key assumptions used and their sources, to conclude the prices obtained are appropriate, and to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. Based on this evaluation and investment class analysis, each price is classified into Level 1, 2, or 3. The Company has in place certain control processes to determine the reasonableness of the financial asset fair values. These processes are designed to ensure the values received are accurately recorded and that the data inputs and valuation techniques utilized are appropriate, consistently applied, and that the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value. For example, on a continuing basis, the Company assesses the reasonableness of individual security values received from pricing sources that vary from certain thresholds. Historically, the control processes have not resulted in adjustments to

the valuations provided by pricing sources. The Company’s fixed maturity securities portfolio is primarily publicly traded, which allows for a high percentage of the portfolio to be priced through pricing services.
Fair values of equity securities have been determined by the Company from observable market quotations, when available. Equity securities where a public quotation is not available are valued by using non-binding broker quotes or through the use of pricing models or analysis that is based on market information regarding interest rates, credit spreads and liquidity. The underlying data for calculating the matrix of credit spreads relative to the U.S. Treasury curves are nationally recognized indices.
Fair values of the Separate Account assets are based on public quotations. Investment performance related to these assets is fully offset by corresponding amounts credited to contractholders with the liability reflected within Separate Account liabilities.
Separate Account liabilities are equal to the estimated fair value of Separate Account assets.
There were no significant changes to the valuation process during 2010.
(8)   Differences Between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Statutory Accounting Practices
Statutory accounting practices differ in some respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The most significant differences between statutory accounting practices and GAAP are highlighted by the following descriptions of the GAAP treatment:
  (a)   Aggregate reserves for future life benefits are computed on the net level premium method using estimates of future investment yield, mortality, and withdrawal.
 
  (b)   Aggregate reserve for annuity contracts are carried at accumulated policyholder values without reduction for potential surrender or withdrawal charges.
 
  (c)   Annuity considerations and other fund deposits are reflected as deposits rather than revenue.
 
  (d)   Acquisition costs are deferred and amortized in proportion to anticipated premiums over the terms of the insurance policies (10, 15, 20 and 30 years) for individual life contracts and amortized over 20 years in proportion to estimated gross profits for interest-sensitive life and investment (annuity) contracts.
 
  (e)   Non-admitted assets are restored to the balance sheet less applicable allowance accounts.
 
  (f)   Asset valuation and interest maintenance reserves are not provided.
 
  (g)   The assets and liabilities are revalued as of the date of acquisition of HMEC and its subsidiaries in August, 1989.

  (h)   Realized investment gains (losses) resulting from changes in interest rates are recognized in operations when the related security is sold.
 
  (i)   Reinsurance ceded credits are recognized as assets in GAAP basis financial statements.
 
  (j)   Fixed maturity investments (bonds) are categorized as available for sale. Such investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value charged or credited to shareholder’s equity, net of deferred income taxes and the amortization of capitalized acquisition costs.
 
  (k)   The statement of cash flows is presented in a format as prescribed by ASC 230.
 
  (l)   A statement of comprehensive income (loss) is required.
 
  (m)   Changes in the balances of DTAs and DTLs result in increases or decreases of operations under GAAP.
 
  (n)   Deferred premium assets are not provided.
 
  (o)   Tax liabilities are recorded only if it is more likely than not the position will not be sustainable upon audit by taxing authorities.
 
  (p)   Policy and contract fees are recognized through the statements of operations when due. Under GAAP, these amounts are reported as unearned revenue and are recognized in income over the period in which the services are provided.
The aggregate effect of the foregoing differences has not been determined separately for the Company, but is presumed to be material.
(9)   Reinsurance
The Company cedes reinsurance primarily to limit losses from large exposures and to permit recovery of a portion of direct losses; however, such a transfer does not relieve the Company of its primary obligation to the policyholders.

The maximum amount of direct individual ordinary insurance retained on any standard life is $200 and a maximum of $100 or $125 is retained on each group life policy depending on the type of coverage. Amounts in excess of the retained portion are ceded on a yearly renewable term basis of reinsurance. The Company also maintains a life catastrophe reinsurance program.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company reinsured 100% of the catastrophe risk in excess of $1,000 up to $25,000 per occurrence, with one reinstatement. The Company’s catastrophe risk reinsurance program covers acts of terrorism and includes nuclear, biological and chemical explosions but excludes other acts of war. The Company has a quota share reinsurance agreement with Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company and cedes 50% of the Company’s group disability income policies.
The Company has taken $3,306 of reinsurance credits for reinsurance contracts that the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel. No aggregate reduction in surplus would be anticipated upon the cancellation of the contracts. The Company has no reinsurance agreements in effect such that the amount of losses paid through the statement date would result in a payment to the reinsurer that in the aggregate exceeds the total direct premium collected under the reinsured policies. No new reinsurance agreements have been executed or amended since January 1, 2010, to include policies or contracts which were in-force or which had existing reserves established by the Company as of the effective date of the agreement. The Company has no uncollectible reinsurance and there were no commutations of ceded reinsurance during the year.

(10) Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company is a member of the Horace Mann group of insurance companies. All the Company’s personnel are employees of HMSC. Salaries, pension and related benefits are allocated to the Company for these services.
Pension Plans
HMSC has the following retirement plans: a defined contribution plan; a 401(k) plan; a defined benefit plan for employees hired on or before December 31, 1998; and certain employees participate in a supplemental defined benefit plan or a supplemental defined contribution plan or both.
After completing the first year of employment, all employees of HMSC participate in the defined contribution plan. Under the defined contribution plan, HMSC makes contributions to each participant’s account based on eligible compensation and years of service. Effective January 1, 2007, participants are 100% vested in this plan after 3 years of service.
All employees of HMSC participate in a 401(k) plan. HMSC contributes 3% of eligible compensation to each employee’s account, which is 100% vested at the time of the contribution. In addition, employees may voluntarily contribute up to 20% of their eligible compensation into their account.
Effective April 1, 2002, participants stopped accruing benefits under the defined benefit and supplemental defined benefit plans but continue to retain the benefits they had accrued to date. Amounts earned under the defined benefit and supplemental defined benefit plans have been based on years of service and the highest 36 consecutive months of earnings while under the plan (through March 31, 2002). Participants were 100% vested in these defined benefit plans effective April 1, 2007.
HMSC’s policy with respect to funding the defined benefit plan is to contribute to the plan trust amounts which are actuarially determined to provide the plan with sufficient assets to meet future benefit payments consistent with the funding requirements of federal laws and regulations. For the defined contribution, 401(k) and defined benefit plans, investments have been set aside in separate trust funds; whereas the supplemental retirement plans are unfunded non-qualified plans.
Employees whose compensation exceeds the limits covered under the qualified plans participate in an unfunded, non-qualified defined contribution plan. HMSC accrues an amount for each participant based on their compensation, years of service and account balance. Participants are 100% vested in this plan after 3 years of service.
The Company has no obligations to current or former employees for benefits after their employment but before their retirement.
Total pension expense allocated to the Company was $3,648, $4,215, and $4,777 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Postemployment Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, HMSC also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to eligible employees. Only employees who were at least age 55 with a minimum of 20 years of service by December 31, 2008 were eligible to continue in this program. Postretirement benefits other than pensions of active and retired employees were accrued as expense over the employees’ service years. The allocated cost of these benefits totaled $(285), $(416), and $(1,044) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2007 HMSC eliminated the previous health care benefits for individuals 65 years of age and over and established a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) for each eligible participant. Health care benefits for eligible retirees under 65 years of age will continue to be provided as a bridge to Medicare eligibility. Eligible participants will receive a one-time credit of $10 to their HRA account to use for covered expenses incurred on or after age 65. As of December 31, 2006, HRA accounts were established for eligible participants and totaled $7,310. As of December 31, 2010, the balance of the HRA accounts was $3,404. Also, the new plan does not provide life insurance benefits to individuals who retired after December 31, 1993.
(11) Variable Annuities Assets and Liabilities Held in Separate Accounts
The Company utilizes separate accounts to record and account for assets and liabilities related to variable annuities invested in various mutual funds. In accordance with the state of Illinois procedures, the variable annuities in the separate account are permitted by code section 215 ILCS 5/245.21.2. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, all the separate account assets are legally insulated from the Company’s general account claims.
The separate accounts held by the Company relate to individual and group variable annuities of a nonguaranteed return nature and no risk charges have been paid by the separate accounts for guarantees. The net investment experience of the separate accounts is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. The assets and liabilities of the separate accounts are carried at fair value. Certain policies provide a guaranteed minimum death benefit, the reserve for which is held in the aggregate reserves of the Company.

weighted factors to financial balances or activity levels based on their perceived degree of risk.
The RBC guidelines define specific capital levels where regulatory intervention is required based on the ratio of a company’s actual total adjusted capital (sum of capital and surplus and AVR) to control levels determined by the RBC formula. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s actual total adjusted capital was $328,258 and the authorized control level risk-based capital was $32,363.
(15) Risk Disclosures
The Company’s business involves various risks and uncertainties which are based on general business and insurance industry environments. The following are some of the risk factors that could affect the Company:
Investment Risks
The Company’s fixed income portfolio is subject to a number of risks including:
    market value risk, which is the risk that invested assets will decrease in value due to a change in the yields realized on assets and prevailing market yields for similar assets, an unfavorable change in the liquidity of the investment or an unfavorable change in the financial prospects or a downgrade in the credit rating of the issuer of the investment;
 
    credit risk, which is the risk that the value of certain investments becomes impaired due to deterioration in financial condition of one or more issuers of those instruments or the deterioration in performance or credit quality of the underlying collateral of certain structured securities and, ultimately, the risk of permanent loss in the event of default by an issuer or underlying credit;
 
    market fundamentals risk, which is the risk that there are changes in the market that can have an unfavorable impact on securities valuation such as availability of credit in the capital markets, re-pricing of credit risk, reduced market liquidity, and increased market volatility;
 
    reinvestment risk, which is the risk that interest rates will decline and funds reinvested will earn less than expected;
 
    concentration risk, which is the risk that the portfolio may be too heavily concentrated in the securities of one or more issuers, sectors or industries, which could result in a significant decrease in the value of the portfolio in the event of deterioration in the financial condition of those issuers or the market value of their securities;
 
    liquidity risk, which is the risk that liabilities are surrendered or mature sooner than anticipated requiring the Company to sell assets at an undesirable time to provide for policyholder surrenders, withdrawals or claims; and
 
    regulatory risk, which is the risk that regulatory bodies or governments, in the U.S. or in other countries, may make substantial investments or take significant ownership positions in, or ultimately nationalize, financial institutions or other issuers of securities held in the Company’s investment portfolio, which could adversely impact the seniority or contractual terms of the securities. Regulatory risk could also come from changes in tax laws or bankruptcy laws that would adversely impact the valuation of certain invested assets.

(In thousands)
Interest Rate Risk
Significant changes in interest rates expose the Company to the risk of not earning income or experiencing losses based on the differences between the interest rates earned on investments and the credited interest rates paid on outstanding fixed annuity and interest-sensitive life contracts. Significant changes in interest rates may affect:
    the unrealized gains and losses in the investment portfolio
 
    the book yield of the investment portfolio; and
 
    the ability of the Company to maintain appropriate interest rate spreads over the fixed rates guaranteed in their life and annuity products.
Credit Risk
Third parties that owe money, securities or other assets to the Company may not pay or perform their obligations. These parties may include the issuers of securities, customers, reinsurers, and other financial intermediaries
Ratings Risk
Claims-paying ratings and financial strength ratings have become an increasingly important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. Each rating agency reviews its ratings periodically and from time to time may modify its rating criteria including, among other factors, its expectations regarding capital adequacy, profitability and revenue growth. A downgrade in the ratings or adverse change in the ratings outlook of the Company could result in a substantial loss of business.
Legal/Regulatory Risk
The Company is subject to extensive regulation and supervision designed to protect the interests of policyholders. The ability to comply with laws and regulations, at a reasonable cost, and to obtain necessary regulatory action in a timely manner, is and will continue to be critical. Legal/regulatory risk also includes risks related to market conduct and appropriate product sales to policyholders.

Item 28. Indemnification
According to Section 21 of the Distribution Agreement, Horace Mann Life Insurance Company agrees to indemnify Horace Mann Investors, Inc. for any liability Horace Mann Investors, Inc. may incur to a Contract Owner or party-in-interest under a Contract (i) arising out of any act or omission in the course of, or in connection with, rendering services under this Agreement, or (ii) arising out of the purchase, retention or surrender of a Contract; provided however the Horace Mann Life Insurance Company will not indemnify Horace Mann Investors, Inc. for any such liability that results from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of Horace Mann Investors, Inc., or from the reckless disregard, by Horace Mann Investors, Inc., of its duties and obligations arising under the Distribution Agreement.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Act, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Horace Mann Life Insurance Company and the Registrant are in compliance with the conditions of that no-action letter.
(b) Horace Mann Life Insurance Company represents that the fees and charges deducted under the variable annuity contract described in the prospectus, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the insurance company.
