SPECIAL TERMS

Your Contract is a legal document that uses a number of specially defined terms. We explain most of the terms that we use in this Prospectus in the context where they arise, and some are self-explanatory. In addition, for convenient reference, we have compiled a list of these terms in the Glossary included at the back of this Prospectus as Appendix A. If, while you are reading this Prospectus, you come across a term that you do not understand, please refer to the Glossary for an explanation.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

The headings in this section correspond to headings in the Prospectus under which we discuss these topics in more detail.

The Annuity Contract

The Sun Life Financial Masters® Access NY Variable and Fixed Annuity Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning.  During the Accumulation Phase, you make Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more Variable Account or Fixed Account options.  During the Income Phase, we make annuity payments to you or someone else based on the amount you have accumulated.  The Contract provides tax-deferral so that you do not pay taxes on your earnings until you withdraw them. When purchased in connection with a tax-qualified plan, the Contract provides no additional tax-deferral benefits because tax-qualified plans confer their own tax-deferral. The Contract also provides a basic death benefit if you die during the Accumulation Phase.  You may enhance the basic death benefit by purchasing an optional death benefit rider.

The Accumulation Phase

Under most circumstances, you can buy the Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $20,000 or more, and you can make additional Purchase Payments at any time during the Accumulation Phase.  Currently there is no minimum amount required for additional Purchase Payments.  However, we reserve the right to limit additional Purchase Payments to at least $1,000.  We will not normally accept a Purchase Payment if your Account Value is over $2 million or, if the Purchase Payment would cause your Account Value to exceed $2 million.

Variable Account Options: The Funds

You can allocate your Purchase Payments among Sub-Accounts investing in a number of Fund options.  Each Fund is either a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a separate securities portfolio of shares of such a mutual fund.  The investment returns on the Funds are not guaranteed.  You can make or lose money.  You can make transfers among the Funds and the Fixed Account Options.

The Fixed Account Options: The Guarantee Periods

You can allocate your Purchase Payments to the Fixed Account and elect to invest in one or more of the Guarantee Periods we make available from time to time.  Each Guarantee Period earns interest at a Guaranteed Interest Rate that we publish.  We may change the Guaranteed Interest Rate from time to time, but no Guaranteed Interest Rate will ever be less than the minimum guaranteed rate permitted by law.  Once we have accepted your allocation to a particular Guarantee Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the Guarantee Period.  We may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations or stop offering some Guarantee Periods. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period of a particular duration, future allocations, transfers or renewals into that Guarantee Period will not be permitted.

Fees and Expenses

The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each.

If your Account Value is less than $100,000 on your Contract Anniversary, we deduct a $30 Annual Account Fee. We will waive the Account Fee if your Contract was fully invested in the Fixed Account during the entire Contract Year.

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge at an annual rate of 1.35% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account. If you purchased your Contract prior to March 5, 2007 and you were 76 years or older on the Open Date, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge at an annual rate of 1.55% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account.  We also deduct an administrative charge at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily value and a distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account.

Currently, you can make 12 free transfers each year; however, we reserve the right to impose a charge of up to $15 per transfer.

If you elect the optional death benefit rider, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, an additional charge from the assets of the Variable Account equal to an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily value of your Contract.

If you elect an optional living benefit rider, we will assess a periodic charge at a rate that differs among the optional living benefit riders. Currently, however, the annual amount of the charge in no case exceeds 0.95% of the highest Account Value (or other benefit base for the rider in question) during the year.

In addition to the charges we impose under the Contract, there are also charges (which include management fees and operating expenses) imposed by the Funds. The charges vary depending upon which Fund(s) you have selected.

Optional Living Benefit Riders

At issue, you may choose to participate in one of four optional living benefits available under your Contract. Each option provides the living benefits guarantee in a different way:

Secured Returns for Life Plus offers a choice between a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit ("GMAB") and a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit ("GMWB").
   
The Retirement Income Escalator offers a guaranteed withdrawal benefit feature with a bonus credit if you do not make any withdrawals during a specified time period under your Contract.
   
The Income ON Demand Benefit offers an income storage benefit ("ISB") that differs from Secured Returns for Life Plus in that, among other things, it allows you to store the annual withdrawal payments, rather than requiring you to take the payments or lose them.
   
The Retirement Asset Protector Rider offers a stand-alone GMAB.

The optional living benefits are available only if you are age 80 or younger on the Open Date. Your optional living benefit terminates if you annuitize or if you transfer any portion of your Account Value to an investment option other than one of the "Designated Funds." In addition, a change of ownership may also terminate your living benefit. Under the Retirement Income Escalator, Income ON Demand Benefit and the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Contract Year.  All four of the optional living benefits allow you to "step-up" your guaranteed amount on an annual basis, if eligible.

The Income Phase: Annuity Provisions

If you want to receive regular income from your annuity after the Annuity Commencement Date, you can select one of several Annuity Options. You can choose to receive annuity payments from either the Fixed Account or from the available Variable Account options.  If you choose to have any part of your annuity payments come from the Variable Account, the dollar amount of the payments may fluctuate with the performance of the Funds.  Subject to the maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you decide when your Income Phase will begin but, once it begins, you cannot change your choice of annuity payment option.

During the Income Phase, the total insurance charges are deducted on a daily basis at an annual rate of 1.70% of your Account Value invested in the Variable Account.


 
 

 

Death Benefit

If you die before the Contract reaches the Income Phase, the Beneficiary will receive a death benefit.  The amount of the death benefit depends upon whether you choose the basic death benefit or, for a fee, you enhance the death benefit by electing the optional death benefit rider. The basic death benefit pays the greater of your Account Value, and your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for withdrawals), both calculated as of your Death Benefit Date. The Maximum Anniversary Account Value Rider pays the greater of your basic death benefit or your highest Account Value on any Contract Anniversary before your 81st birthday.  You must make your election before the date on which your Contract becomes effective. The rider is only available if you are younger than 80 on the Open Date. The optional death benefit rider election may not be changed after your Contract is issued.

Withdrawals

You can withdraw money from your Contract at any time during the Accumulation Phase without the imposition of a withdrawal charge.  Furthermore, no withdrawal charge is imposed upon annuitization. You may, however, have to pay income taxes and tax penalties on money you withdraw.

Right to Return

Your Contract contains a "free look" provision.  If you cancel your Contract within 10 days after receiving it, we will send you your Account Value as of the day we receive your cancellation request, in good order. (This amount may be more or less than the original Purchase Payment).  We will not deduct a withdrawal charge.

Tax Considerations

Your earnings are not taxed until you take them out.  If you withdraw money during the Accumulation Phase, earnings come out first and are taxed as income. If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, it is possible that the election of an optional living benefit rider might increase the taxable portion of any withdrawal you make from the Contract. If you are younger than 59½ when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal tax penalty.

                             

NOTE ABOUT OTHER ANNUITY CONTRACTS THAT WE OFFER: In addition to the Contracts, we currently offer many other forms of annuity contracts with a wide variety of features, benefits and charges. Depending on your circumstances and needs, some of these other contracts may be at lower cost to you. Not all of the annuity contracts that we offer are available in all jurisdictions or through all of the selling agents who offer the contracts. You should consider with your selling agent what annuity contract or financial product is most consistent with your needs and preferences.

0.65%
2.15%



1
The premium tax rate and base vary by your state of residence and the type of Contract you own. Currently, we deduct premium taxes from Account Value upon full surrender (including a surrender for the death benefit) or annuitization. (See "Contract Charges -- Premium Taxes.")
   
2
The Annual Account Fee is waived if 100% of your Account Value has been allocated to the Fixed Account during the entire Contract Year or if your Account Value is $100,000 or more on your Contract Anniversary. (See "Account Fee.")
   
3
All of the Variable Account Annual Expenses are assessed as a percentage of average daily net Variable Account assets.
   
4
For Contracts purchased prior to March 5, 2007, the rate of this charge is 1.55% if you were age 76 or older on the Contract's Open Date. In that case, the rate for "Total Variable Account Annual Expenses (without optional benefits)" would be 1.90%.
   
5
The optional death benefit rider is defined under "Death Benefit." This rider is available only if you are younger than age 80 on the Open Date.
   
6
The optional living benefit riders, including the charges therefore are described in detail under "OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: SECURED RETURNS FOR LIFE PLUS," "OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: RETIREMENT INCOME ESCALATOR," "OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: Income ON Demand BENEFIT," and "OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: RETIREMENT ASSET PROTECTOR." As discussed in those portions of this prospectus, if, after you acquire one of these riders, you elect to increase or renew certain benefits under the rider, we have the right to increase the rate of the charge to what we are then charging on newly issued riders of the same type or to a rate based on then-current market conditions.
   
7
The charges shown are assessed and deducted quarterly based upon the Account Value or benefit base on the last day of each Account Quarter. Your actual charges may be less than the maximum stated above. See "Cost of the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit," "Cost of the RIE," "Cost of the Income ON Demand Benefit," and "Cost of the Retirement Asset Protector Benefit."
   
8
This amount assumes that the living benefit rider’s initial benefit base is equal to the Account Value.  If the benefit base changes, your Total Variable Account Annual Expenses would be higher or lower.
   
9
This chart shows your insurance charges before you annuitize your Contract.  As explained in "Amount of Annuity Payments," after you annuitize your Contract, the sum of your insurance charges will never be greater than an annual rate of 1.70% of average daily net Variable Account assets, regardless of your age on the Open Date.
   
10
The expenses shown are for the year ended December 31, 2007, and do not reflect any fee waiver or expense reimbursement. The advisers and/or other service providers of certain Funds have agreed to reduce their fees and/or reimburse the Funds' expenses in order to keep the Funds' expenses below specified limits. The expenses of some Funds are reduced by contractual fee reduction and expense reimbursement arrangements that will remain in effect at least through April 30, 2009. Other Funds have voluntary fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangements that may be terminated at any time. If all such contractual or voluntary arrangements are taken into account, the minimum and maximum Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for all Funds were 0.65% and 1.73%, respectively. However, if only the contractual arrangements were taken into account (but not the voluntary arrangements) were taken into account, these percentages would still have been 0.65% and 1.73%. Each fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangement is described in the relevant Fund's prospectus.

THE ABOVE EXPENSES FOR THE FUNDS WERE PROVIDED BY THE FUNDS.  WE HAVE NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION.

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, contract fees, variable account annual expenses, and Fund fees and expenses, and are based on a sample Contract with the maximum possible fees.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your Contract includes the maximum charges for the optional death benefit (MAV) and an optional living benefit (Retirement Income Escalator).  If these optional benefits were not elected or fewer options were elected, the expense figures shown below would be lower.  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Funds.  For purposes of converting the annual contract fee to a percentage, the Example assumes an average Contract size of $50,000.  In addition, this Example assumes no transfers were made and no premium taxes were deducted.  If these arrangements were considered, the expenses shown would be higher.  This Example also does not take into consideration any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement of the Funds.  If these arrangements were taken into consideration, the expenses shown would be lower.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

(1)
If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
         
 
$510
$1,528
$2,544
$5,075

(2)
If you annuitize your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
         
 
$510
$1,528
$2,544
$5,075

(3)
If you do not surrender your Contract:

 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
         
 
$510
$1,528
$2,544
$5,075

The fee table and Example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses and charges of the Sub-Accounts.  Your actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.  The Example does not include the deduction of state premium taxes, which may be assessed upon full surrender, death or annuitization, or any taxes and penalties you may be required to pay if you surrender the Contract. Similarly, the 5% annual rate of return assumed in the Example is not intended to be representative of past or future investment performance.  For more information about Fund expenses, including a description of any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement, see the prospectuses for the Funds.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Historical information about the value of the units we use to measure the variable portion of your Contract ("Variable Accumulation Units") is included in the back of this Prospectus as Appendix F.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York and Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account C (the "Variable Account") offer the Contract on an individual basis for use in connection with retirement planning. We issue the Contract directly to the individual Owner of the Contract. In this Prospectus, unless we state otherwise, we address Owners of Contracts as "you."  For the purpose of determining benefits under the Contracts, we establish an Account for each Owner, which we will refer to as "your" Account.

Your Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning. It has an Accumulation Phase, during which you make Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more Variable Account or Fixed Account options, and an Income Phase, during which we make annuity payments based on the amount you have accumulated. Your Contract provides tax deferral, so that you do not pay taxes on your earnings under your Contract until you withdraw them. However, if you purchase your Contract in connection with a tax-qualified plan, your purchase should be made for reasons other than tax-deferral.  Tax-qualified plans provide tax-deferral without the need for purchasing an annuity contract.

Your Contract also provides a basic death benefit if you die during the Accumulation Phase. You may enhance the basic death benefit by electing the optional death benefit rider and paying an additional charge for the optional death benefit rider. Finally, if you so elect, during the Income Phase we will make annuity payments to you or someone else for life or for another period that you choose.

You choose these benefits on a variable or fixed basis or a combination of both. When you choose Variable Account investment options or a Variable Annuity option, your Account Value will change in response to changes in the return available from the different types of investments you select under your Contract. With these variable options, you assume all investment risk under your Contract. When you choose the Fixed Annuity option, we assume the investment risk. You also bear the risk that the interest rates we will offer in the future and the rates we will use in determining your Fixed Annuity may not exceed our minimum guaranteed rate.  Our minimum guaranteed interest rate will never be less than that permitted by law.

The Contract is designed for use in connection with personal retirement and deferred compensation plans, some of which qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 408A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Contract is also designed so that it may be used in connection with certain non-tax-qualified retirement plans, such as payroll savings plans and such other groups (trusteed or nontrusteed) as may be eligible under applicable law. We refer to Contracts used with plans that receive favorable tax treatment as "Qualified Contracts," and all other Contracts as "Non-Qualified Contracts." A qualified retirement plan generally provides tax-deferral regardless of whether the plan invests in an annuity contract.  A decision to purchase an annuity contract should not be based on the assumption that the purchase of an annuity contract is necessary to obtain tax-deferral benefits under a qualified retirement plan.

Some broker/dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits based upon the client's age.  Your individual representative will describe any such limitations.  You should work with your registered representative to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance.

COMMUNICATING TO US ABOUT YOUR CONTRACT

All materials sent to us, including Purchase Payments, must be sent to our Annuity Service Address as set forth on the first page of this Prospectus. For all telephone communications, you must call (800) 447-7569.

Unless this Prospectus states differently, we will consider all materials sent to us and all telephone communications to be received on the date we actually receive them at our Annuity Service Address. However, we will consider all financial transactions, including Purchase Payments, withdrawal requests and transfer instructions, to be received on the next Business Day if we receive them (1) on a day that is not a Business Day or (2) after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. In some cases, receipt of requests for financial transactions by the broker-dealer of record will be deemed to be constructive receipt by us.

When we specify that notice to us must be in writing, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to accept notice in another form.

SUN LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK

We are a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of New York on May 25, 1983. We do business primarily in New York. Our Home Office is located at 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 1115, New York, New York 10165.

We are ultimately controlled by Sun Life Financial Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"). Sun Life Financial, a corporation organized in Canada, is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York, and Philippine stock exchanges.

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

We established the Variable Account as a separate account on October 18, 1985, pursuant to a resolution of our Board of Directors. The Variable Account funds the Contract and various other variable annuity contracts that we offer. These other products may have features, benefits and charges that are different from those under the Contract.

Under New York insurance law and the Contract, the income, gains or losses of the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the assets of the Variable Account without regard to the other income, gains, or losses of the Company. These assets are held in relation to the Contract and other variable annuity contracts that provide benefits that vary in accordance with the investment performance of the Variable Account. Although the assets maintained in the Variable Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct, all obligations arising under a Contract, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of the Company.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a specific Fund. All amounts allocated by you to a Sub-Account will be used to purchase Fund shares at their net asset value. Any and all distributions made by the Funds with respect to the shares held by the Variable Account will be reinvested to purchase additional Fund shares at their net asset value. Deductions from the Variable Account for cash withdrawals, annuity payments, death benefits, Account Fees, Contract charges against the assets of the Variable Account for the assumption of mortality and expense risks, administrative expenses, optional benefit riders, and any applicable taxes will, in effect, be made by redeeming the number of Fund shares at their net asset value equal in total value to the amount to be deducted. The Variable Account will be fully invested in Fund shares at all times.

VARIABLE ACCOUNT OPTIONS:  THE FUNDS

The Contract offers Sub-Accounts that invest in a number of Fund investment options. Each Fund is a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or a separate series of shares of such a mutual fund.

More comprehensive information about the Funds, including a discussion of their management, investment objectives, expenses, and potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Funds (the "Fund Prospectuses"). The Fund Prospectuses should be read in conjunction with this Prospectus before you invest. A copy of each Fund Prospectus, as well as a Statement of Additional Information for each Fund, may be obtained without charge from the Company by calling (800) 447-7569 or by writing to Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, P.O. Box 9133, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.

The Funds may also be available to registered separate accounts offering variable annuity and variable life products of other affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies, as well as to the Variable Account and other separate accounts of the Company. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to this, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of the Variable Account and one or more of the other separate accounts participating in the Funds. A conflict may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, differences in the voting instructions of the Owners and Payees and those of other companies, or some other reason. In the event of conflict, we will take any steps necessary to protect Owners and Payees, including withdrawal of the Variable Account from participation in the underlying Funds which are involved in the conflict or substitution of shares of other Funds.

Certain of the investment advisers, transfer agents, or underwriters to the Funds may reimburse us for administrative costs in connection with administering the Funds as options under the Contracts. These amounts are not charged to the Funds or Owners, but are paid from assets of the advisers, transfer agents, or underwriters, except for the administrative costs of the Lord Abbett Series Trust Portfolios, which are paid from Fund assets and reflected under "Fees and Expenses."

Certain publicly available mutual funds may have similar investment goals and principal investment policies and risks as one or more of the Funds, and may be managed by a Fund's portfolio manager(s). While a Fund may have many similarities to these other funds, its investment performance will differ from their investment performance. This is due to a number of differences between a Fund and these similar products, including differences in sales charges, expense ratios and cash flows.


 
 

 

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

The Fixed Account is made up of general account assets of the Company. Amounts you allocate to the Fixed Account will be available to fund the claims of all classes of our customers, including claims for benefits under the Contracts. Any obligations of the Fixed Account will be paid first from those assets allocated to the Fixed Account and the excess, if any, will be paid from the general account of the Company.

We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account in those assets we choose that are allowed by New York State insurance laws. In general, these laws permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate and certain other investments. We intend to invest primarily in investment-grade fixed income securities (i.e., rated by a nationally recognized rating service within the 4 highest grades) or instruments we believe are of comparable quality.

We are not obligated to invest amounts allocated to the Fixed Account according to any particular strategy, except as may be required by applicable New York state insurance laws. You will not have a direct or indirect interest in the Fixed Account investments.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS:  THE GUARANTEE PERIODS

You may elect one or more Guarantee Periods from those we make available from time to time. We may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations or stop offering some Guarantee Periods. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period, allocations, transfers or renewals into that Guarantee Period will not be permitted. In addition, we reserve the right not to make any Guarantee Periods available. In such event, renewals will be made into the Money Market Sub-Account. We may choose to exercise this right before the Open Date or at some later time. At any time, we can reverse our decision to exercise this right.

We publish Guaranteed Interest Rates for each Guarantee Period offered. We may change the Guaranteed Interest Rates we offer from time to time, but no Guaranteed Interest Rate will ever be less than the minimum guaranteed rate permitted by state law. Also, once we have accepted your allocation to a particular Guarantee Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the Guarantee Period.

We determine Guaranteed Interest Rates at our discretion. We do not have a specific formula for establishing the rates for different Guarantee Periods. Our determination will be influenced by the interest rates on fixed income investments in which we may invest amounts allocated to the Guarantee Periods. We will also consider other factors in determining these rates, including regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions and administrative expenses borne by us, general economic trends and competitive factors. We cannot predict the level of future interest rates.

THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, you make Payments into your Account, and your earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. The Accumulation Phase begins with our acceptance of your first Purchase Payment and ends the Business Day before your Annuity Commencement Date. The Accumulation Phase will end sooner if you surrender your Contract or if the Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date.

Issuing Your Contract

When we receive your Application, we "open" the Contract. We refer to this date as the "Open Date." When we receive your initial Purchase Payment, we "issue" your Contract. We refer to this date as the "Issue Date."

We will credit your initial Purchase Payment to your Account within 2 Business Days of receiving your completed Application. If your Application is not complete, we will notify you. If we do not have the necessary information to complete the Application within 5 Business Days, we will send your money back to you or ask your permission to retain your Purchase Payment until the Application is made complete. Then we will apply the Purchase Payment within 2 Business Days of when the Application is complete.

Amount and Frequency of Purchase Payments

The amount of Purchase Payments may vary; however, we will not accept an initial Purchase Payment of less than $20,000, and, although there is currently no minimum amount for additional Purchase Payments, we reserve the right to limit each additional Purchase Payment to at least $1,000. In addition, we will not accept a Purchase Payment if your Account Value is over $2 million, or if the Purchase Payment would cause your Account Value to exceed $2 million, unless we have approved the Payment in advance. We reserve the right to refuse Purchase Payments received more than 5 years after your Issue Date or after your 70th birthday, whichever is later. Within these limits, you may make Purchase Payments at any time during the Accumulation Phase. Additional restrictions may apply if you purchased an optional living benefit rider.

Allocation of Net Purchase Payments

You may allocate your Purchase Payments among the different Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods currently available, but we reserve the right to limit any allocation to a Guarantee Period to at least $1,000.

In your Application, you may specify the percentage of each Purchase Payment to be allocated to each Sub-Account or Guarantee Period. These percentages are called your allocation factors.  You may change the allocation factors for future Payments by sending us notice of the change as required. We will use your new allocation factors for the first Purchase Payment we receive with or after we have received notice of the change, and for all future Purchase Payments, until we receive another change notice.

Although it is currently not our practice, we may deduct applicable premium taxes or similar taxes from your Purchase Payments (see "Contract Charges -- Premium Taxes"). In that case, we will credit your Net Purchase Payment, which is the Purchase Payment minus the amount of those taxes.

Your Account

When we accept your first Purchase Payment, we establish an Account for you, which we maintain throughout the Accumulation Phase of your Contract.

Your Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of the value of the 2 components of your Contract: the Variable Account portion of your Contract ("Variable Account Value") and the Fixed Account portion of your Contract ("Fixed Account Value"). These 2 components are calculated separately, as described under "Variable Account Value" and "Fixed Account Value."

Variable Account Value

     Variable Accumulation Units

In order to calculate your Variable Account Value, we use a measure called a Variable Accumulation Unit for each Sub-Account. Your Variable Account Value is the sum of your Account Value in each Sub-Account, which is the number of your Variable Accumulation Units for that Sub-Account times the value of each Unit.

     Variable Accumulation Unit Value

The value of each Variable Accumulation Unit in a Sub-Account reflects the net investment performance of that Sub-Account. We determine that value once on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, at the close of trading, which is currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. (The close of trading is determined by the New York Stock Exchange.) We also may determine the value of Variable Accumulation Units of a Sub-Account on days the Exchange is closed if there is enough trading in securities held by that Sub-Account to materially affect the value of the Variable Accumulation Units. Each day we make a valuation is called a "Business Day." The period that begins at the time Variable Accumulation Units are valued on a Business Day and ends at that time on the next Business Day is called a "Valuation Period." On days other than Business Days, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit does not change.

To measure these values, we use a factor -- which we call the "Net Investment Factor" -- which represents the net return on the Sub-Account's assets. At the end of any Valuation Period, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit for a Sub-Account is equal to the value of that Sub-Account's Variable Accumulation Units at the end of the previous Valuation Period, multiplied by the Net Investment Factor. We calculate the Net Investment Factor by dividing (1) the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account at the end of that Valuation Period, plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution made by that Fund during the Valuation Period, by (2) the net asset value per share of the Fund share at the end of the previous Valuation Period; then, for each day in the Valuation Period, we deduct a factor representing the asset-based insurance charges (the mortality and expense risk charges, the administrative expense charge and distribution fee) plus the applicable asset-based charge for certain optional benefit riders.

For a hypothetical example of how we calculate the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit, see the Statement of Additional Information.

     Crediting and Canceling Variable Accumulation Units

When we receive an allocation to a Sub-Account, either from a Net Purchase Payment or a transfer of Account Value, we credit that amount to your Account in Variable Accumulation Units. Similarly, we cancel Variable Accumulation Units when you transfer or withdraw amounts from a Sub-Account, or when we deduct certain charges under the Contract. We determine the number of Units credited or canceled by dividing the dollar amount by the Variable Accumulation Unit value for that Sub-Account at the end of the Valuation Period during which the transaction or charge is effective.

Fixed Account Value

Your Fixed Account Value is the sum of all amounts allocated to Guarantee Periods, either from Net Purchase Payments, transfers or renewals, plus interest credited on those amounts, and minus withdrawals, transfers out of Guarantee Periods, and any deductions for charges under the Contract taken from your Fixed Account Value.

A Guarantee Period begins the day we apply your allocation and ends when all calendar years (or months if the Guarantee Period is less than one year) in the Guarantee Period (measured from the end of the calendar month in which the amount was allocated to the Guarantee Period) have elapsed. The last day of the Guarantee Period is its Expiration Date.

Each additional Purchase Payment, transfer or renewal credited to your Fixed Account Value will result in a new Guarantee Period with its own Expiration Date. Amounts allocated at different times to Guarantee Periods of the same duration may have different Expiration Dates.

We credit interest on amounts allocated to a Guarantee Period at the applicable Guaranteed Interest Rate for the duration of the Guarantee Period. During the Guarantee Period, we credit interest daily at a rate that yields the Guaranteed Interest Rate on an annual effective basis.

Each separate allocation you make to a Guarantee Period, together with interest credited thereon, is called a Guarantee Amount. We will notify you in writing between 45 and 75 days before the Expiration Date for any Guarantee Amount.

A new Guarantee Period of the same duration will begin automatically for that Guarantee Amount on the first day following the Expiration Date, unless before the Expiration Date we receive instructions to transfer the Guarantee Amount to one or more Sub-Accounts, in accordance with the transfer privilege provision of the Contract described below (see "Transfer Privilege").

If we receive no instructions from you prior to the Expiration Date, we will automatically renew your Fixed Account allocation into a new Guarantee Period of the same duration as the last Guarantee Period. If we are no longer offering a Guarantee Period of the same duration, we will automatically transfer your Fixed Account allocation into the Money Market Sub-Account.

This automatic transfer of Fixed Account Value into the Money Market Sub-Account will not count as a transfer for purposes of the transfer restrictions described under "Transfer Privilege."


 
 

 

Transfer Privilege

     Permitted Transfers

During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer all or part of your Account Value to one or more Sub-Accounts or Guarantee Periods then available, subject to the following restrictions:

l
you may not make more than 12 transfers in any Contract Year;
   
l
the amount transferred from a Guarantee Period must be the entire Guarantee Amount, except for transfers of interest credited during the current Contract Year;
   
l
at least 30 days must elapse between transfers to and from Guarantee Periods;
   
l
at least 6 days must elapse between transfers to and from the Sub-Accounts;
   
l
transfers to or from Sub-Accounts are subject to terms and conditions that may be imposed by the Funds; and
   
l
we impose additional restrictions on market timers, which are further described below.

These restrictions do not apply to transfers made under any Optional Programs. At our discretion, we may waive some or all of these restrictions. Additional restrictions apply to transfers made under any of the Optional Living Benefit Riders.

We reserve the right to waive these restrictions and exceptions at any time, as discussed under "Short-Term Trading," or to change them.  Any change will be applied uniformly.  We will notify you of any change prior to its effectiveness.

There is usually no charge imposed on transfers; however, we reserve the right to impose a transfer charge of $15 for each transfer. Under current law, there is no tax liability for transfers.

     Requests for Transfers

You may request transfers in writing or by telephone. If the request is received before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m., the transfer will be effective that day. The telephone transfer privilege is available automatically during regular business hours before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time and does not require your written election. We will require personal identifying information to process a request for a transfer made by telephone. We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone that we reasonably believe are genuine.

Your transfer request will be effective as of the close of the Business Day if we receive your transfer request, in good order, before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m. Otherwise, your transfer request will be effective on the next Business Day.

     Short-Term Trading

The Contracts are not designed for short-term trading.  If you wish to employ such strategies, do not purchase a Contract. Transfer limits and other restrictions, described below, are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity.  Some Contract Owners and their third party intermediaries engaging in short-term trading may employ a variety of strategies to avoid detection.  Despite our efforts to prevent short-term trading, there is no assurance that we will be able to identify such Contract Owners or intermediaries or curtail their trading.  A failure to detect and curtail short-term trading could result in adverse consequences to the Contract Owners.  Short-term trading can increase costs for all Contract Owners as a result of excessive portfolio transaction fees.  In addition, short-term trading can adversely affect a Fund's performance.  If large amounts of money are suddenly transferred out of a Fund, the Fund's investment adviser cannot effectively invest in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives and policies.

The Company has policies and procedures to discourage frequent transfers of contract value.  As described under "Transfer Privilege," such policies include limiting the number and timing of certain transfers, subject to exceptions described in that section and exceptions designed to protect the interests of individual Contract Owners.  The Company also reserves the right to charge a fee for transfers.

Short-term trading activities whether by the Contract Owner or a third party authorized to initiate transfer requests on behalf of Contract Owner(s) may be subject to other restrictions as well. For example, we reserve the right to take actions against short-term trading which restrict your transfer privileges (including transfers to and from the Fixed Account) more narrowly than the policies described under "Transfer Privilege," such as requiring transfer requests to be submitted in writing through regular first-class U.S. mail (e.g., no overnight, priority or courier delivery allowed), and refusing any and all transfer instructions.

If we determine that a third party acting on your behalf is engaging (alone or in combination with transfers effected by you directly) in a pattern of short-term trading, we may refuse to process certain transfers requested by such a third party.  We impose additional administrative restrictions on third parties that engage in transfers of Contract Values on behalf of multiple Contract Owners at one time. Specifically, we limit the form of such large group transfers to fax or mail delivery only, require the third party to provide us with advance notice of any possible large group transfer so that we can have additional staff ready to process the request, and require that the amount transferred out of a Sub-Account for each Contract Owner be equal to 100% of that Contract Owner's value in the Sub-Account.

We will provide you written notification of any restrictions imposed.

We reserve the right to waive short-term trading restrictions, where permitted by law and not adverse to the interests of the relevant underlying Fund, in the following instances:

l
when a new broker of record is designated for the Contract;
   
l
when the Contract Owner changes;
   
l
when control of the Contract passes to the designated beneficiary upon the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant;
   
l
when necessary in our view to avoid hardship to a Contract Owner; or
   
l
when underlying Funds are dissolved or merged or substituted.

If short-term trading results as a consequence of waiving the restrictions against short-term trading, it could expose Contract Owners to certain risks.  The short-term trading could increase costs for all Contract Owners as a result of excessive portfolio transaction fees.  In addition, the short-term trading could adversely affect a Fund's performance.  If large amounts of money are suddenly transferred out of a Fund, the Fund's investment adviser cannot effectively invest in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives and policies.  Unless the short-term trading policy and the permitted waivers of that policy are applied uniformly, some Contract Owners may experience a different application of the policy and therefore may experience some of these risks. We uniformly apply the short-term trading policy and the permitted waivers of that policy to all Contracts. If we did not do so, some Contract Owners could experience a different application of the policy and therefore may be treated unfairly. Too much discretion on our part in allowing the waivers of short-term trading policy could result in an unequal treatment of short-term traders by permitting some short-term traders to engage in short-term trading while prohibiting others from doing the same.

     Funds' Shareholder Trading Policies

In addition to the restrictions that we impose (as described under "Permitted Transfers" and "Short-Term Trading"), most of the Funds have adopted restrictions or other policies about transfers or other purchases and sales of the Fund's shares. These policies (the "Funds' Shareholder Trading Policies") are intended to protect the Fund from short-term trading or other trading practices that are potentially harmful to the Fund. The Funds' Shareholder Trading Policies may be more restrictive in some respects than the restrictions that we otherwise would impose, and the Funds may modify their Shareholder Trading Policies from time to time.

We are legally obligated to provide (at the Funds' request) information about each amount you cause to be deposited into a Fund (including by way of Purchase Payments and transfers under your Contract) or removed from the Fund (including by way of withdrawals and transfers under your Contract). If a Fund identifies you as having violated the Fund's Shareholder Trading Policies, we are obligated, if the Fund requests, to restrict or prohibit any further deposits or exchanges by you (or a third party acting on your behalf) in respect of that Fund. Any such restriction or prohibition may remain in place indefinitely.

Accordingly, if you do not comply with any Fund's Shareholder Trading Policies, you (or a third party acting on your behalf) may be prohibited from directing any additional amounts into that Fund or directing any transfers or other exchanges involving that Fund. You should review and comply with each Fund's Shareholder Trading Policies, which are disclosed in the Funds' current prospectuses.

Funds may differ significantly as to such matters as: (a) the amount, format, and frequency of information that the Funds request from us about transactions that our customers make; and (b) the extent and nature of any limits or restrictions that the Funds request us to impose upon such transactions. As a result of these differences, the costs borne by us and (directly or indirectly) by our customers may be significantly increased. Any such additional costs may outweigh any additional protection that would be provided to our customers, particularly in view of the protections already afforded by the trading restrictions that we impose as described under "Permitted Transfers" and under " Short-Term Trading." Also, if a Fund imposes more strict trading restrictions than are reasonably necessary under the circumstances, you could be deprived of potentially valuable flexibility to make transactions with respect to that Fund.  For these and other reasons, we may disagree with the timing or substance of a Fund's requests for information from us or with any transaction limits or restrictions that the Fund requests us to impose upon our customers.  If any such disagreement with respect to a Fund cannot be satisfactorily resolved, the Fund might be restricted or, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approval, replaced as a variable investment option.

Waivers; Reduced Charges; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates

We may reduce or waive the annual Account Fee, credit additional amounts, grant special Guaranteed Interest Rates in certain situations, or offer other options or benefits. These situations may include sales of Contracts (1) where selling and/or maintenance costs associated with the Contracts are reduced, such as the sale of several Contracts to the same Owner, sales of large Contracts, and certain group sales, and (2) to officers, directors and employees of the Company or its affiliates, registered representatives and employees of broker-dealers with a current selling agreement with the Company and affiliates of such representatives and broker-dealers, employees of affiliated asset management firms, and persons who have retired from such positions ("Eligible Employees") and immediate family members of Eligible Employees. Eligible Employees and their immediate family members may also purchase a Contract without regard to minimum Purchase Payment requirements.

Other Programs

You may participate in any of the following Optional Programs free of charge. Transfers made pursuant to the provisions of the following optional programs will not be charged a transfer fee, nor will such transfers count as one of the 12 free transfers per year allowed under the section entitled "Transfer Privilege."

     Dollar-Cost Averaging

Dollar-cost averaging allows you to invest gradually, over time, in up to 12 Sub-Accounts. You may select a dollar-cost averaging program at no extra charge by allocating a minimum amount to a designated Sub-Account or to a Guarantee Period we make available in connection with the program.  (We reserve the right to limit minimum investments to at least $1,000.)  Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account under the program will earn interest at a rate declared by the Company for the Guarantee Period you select. Previously applied amounts may not be transferred to a Guarantee Period made available in connection with this program. At regular time intervals, we will transfer the same amount automatically to one or more Sub-Accounts that you choose, up to a maximum of 12 Sub-Accounts. The program continues until your Account Value allocated to the program is depleted or you elect to stop the program. The final amount transferred from the Fixed Account will include all interest earned.

Any allocation of a new Purchase Payment to the program will be treated as commencing a new dollar-cost averaging program and may be subject to the $1,000 minimum investment limit.

The main objective of a dollar-cost averaging program is to minimize the impact of short-term price fluctuations on Account Value. In general, since you transfer the same dollar amount to the variable investment options at set intervals, dollar-cost averaging allows you to purchase more Variable Accumulation Units (and, indirectly, more Fund shares) when prices are low and fewer Variable Accumulation Units (and, indirectly, fewer Fund shares) when prices are high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower average cost per Variable Accumulation Unit over the long term. A dollar-cost averaging program allows you to take advantage of market fluctuations. However, it is important to understand that a dollar-cost averaging program does not insure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. We do not allow transfers into any of the Guarantee Periods pursuant to the dollar-cost averaging program.

     Asset Allocation

One or more asset allocation programs may be available in connection with the Contract, at no extra charge. Asset allocation is the process of investing in different asset classes -- such as equity funds, fixed income funds, and money market funds -- depending on your personal investment goals, tolerance for risk, and investment time horizon. By spreading your money among a variety of asset classes, you may be able to reduce the risk and volatility of investing, although there are no guarantees, and asset allocation does not insure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

Currently, you may select one of the available asset allocation models, each of which represents a combination of Sub-Accounts with a different level of risk. These asset allocation models, as well as the terms and conditions of the asset allocation program, are fully described in a separate brochure. We may add or delete such programs in the future.

Our asset allocation programs are "static" programs.  That is to say, if you elect an asset allocation program, we automatically rebalance your Account Value among the Sub-Accounts represented in the model you chose, but we do not change your original percentage allocations among the Sub-Accounts in your chosen model, unless you advise us to do so. Nevertheless, we have selected an independent third-party administrator who reviews the existing models annually to determine whether the investment objective of the model is being met in light of changing markets.  Based upon this review, the third-party administrator may recommend that new models be substituted for the existing models.  If so, the new models will only be offered to Contracts opened on or after the date the new model goes into effect or to Owners who elect an asset allocation program on or after that date.  Owners of any existing asset allocation programs may make an independent decision to change their asset allocations at any time.  You should consult your financial adviser periodically to consider whether the model you have selected is still appropriate for you.

     Systematic Withdrawal Program

You may select our Systematic Withdrawal Program.  Under the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you determine the amount and frequency of regular withdrawals you would like to receive from your Fixed Account Value and/or Variable Account Value and we will process them automatically. The withdrawals under this program may be included as income and subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. You should consult a qualified tax professional before choosing this option.  We reserve the right to limit the election of this program to Contracts with a minimum Account Value of $20,000. Limits on your systematic withdrawal may apply if you purchased an optional living benefit rider.

You may change or stop this program at any time, by written notice to us or other means approved by us.

     Portfolio Rebalancing Program

Under the Portfolio Rebalancing Program, we transfer funds among all Sub-Accounts to maintain the percentage allocation you have selected among these Sub-Accounts. At your election, we will make these transfers on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

WITHDRAWALS

Cash Withdrawals

     Requesting a Withdrawal

At any time during the Accumulation Phase, you may withdraw in cash all or any portion of your Account Value. To make a withdrawal, other than a Systematic Withdrawal, you must send us a written request at our Annuity Service Address. Your request must specify whether you want to withdraw the entire amount of your Account or, if less, the amount you wish to receive.

We do not deduct any sales charge from your Purchase Payments when they are made, nor do we impose a withdrawal charge (known as a "contingent deferred sales charge") on amounts you withdraw. Withdrawals may have adverse federal income tax consequences, including a 10% penalty tax (see "Tax Considerations"). You should carefully consider these tax consequences before requesting a cash withdrawal.

     Full Withdrawals

If you request a full withdrawal, we calculate the amount we will pay you as follows: we start with the total value of your Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your withdrawal request; and then we deduct the Account Fee, if applicable, for the Contract Year in which the withdrawal is made.

A full withdrawal results in the surrender of your Contract, and cancellation of all rights and privileges under your Contract, except as may be otherwise provided under the terms of any optional living benefit rider that you have elected.

     Partial Withdrawals

Unless you specify otherwise, when you request a partial withdrawal, we will pay you the amount specified in your request less any applicable charges and then reduce the value of your Account by the gross amount of the withdrawal.

You may specify the amount you want withdrawn from each Sub-Account and/or Guarantee Amount to which your Account is allocated. If you do not so specify, we will deduct the total amount you request pro rata, based on your Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your request. If you have elected "Build Your Portfolio," withdrawals out of your portfolio model will be taken pro-rata from each of your selected Funds.

Partial withdrawals may significantly reduce any death benefit and/or living benefit amount.  In calculating the amount payable under the living benefit or death benefit, we may reduce the benefit by an amount that is greater than the amount of the withdrawal, depending on the circumstances. Accordingly, you should refer to the more detailed discussions of the optional living benefit and optional death benefit riders that appear elsewhere in this Prospectus for information about the effects that withdrawals will have on those benefits.

If you request a partial withdrawal that would result in your Account Value being reduced to an amount less than the Account Fee for the Contract Year in which you make the withdrawal, we reserve the right to treat it as a request for a full withdrawal.

     Time of Payment

We will pay you the applicable amount of any full or partial withdrawal within 7 days after we receive your withdrawal request, in good order, except in cases where we are permitted, and choose, to defer payment under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and New York state insurance law. Currently, we may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Variable Account only for the following periods:

l
when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except weekends and holidays) or when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
   
l
when it is not reasonably practical to dispose of securities held by a Fund or to determine the value of the net assets of a Fund, because an emergency exists; or
   
l
when an SEC order permits us to defer payment for the protection of Owners.

We also may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Fixed Account for up to 6 months from the date we receive your withdrawal request. We do not pay interest on the amount of any payments we defer.

     Withdrawal Restrictions for Qualified Plans

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, you should carefully check the terms of your retirement plan for limitations and restrictions on cash withdrawals.

Special restrictions apply to withdrawals from Contracts used for Section 403(b) annuities. (See "Tax Considerations -- Tax-Sheltered Annuities.")

CONTRACT CHARGES

Account Fee

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, we will deduct from your Account an annual Account Fee of $30 to help cover the administrative expenses we incur related to the issuance of Contracts and the maintenance of Accounts. We deduct the Account Fee on each Contract Anniversary. We deduct the Account Fee pro rata from each Sub-Account and each Guarantee Period, based on the allocation of your Account Value on your Contract Anniversary.

We will not charge the Account Fee if:

l
your Account Value has been allocated only to the Fixed Account during the applicable Contract Year; or
   
l
your Account Value is $100,000 or more on your Contract Anniversary.

If you make a full withdrawal of your Account, we will deduct the full amount of the Account Fee at the time of the withdrawal. In addition, on the Annuity Commencement Date we will deduct a pro rata portion of the Account Fee to reflect the time elapsed between the last Contract Anniversary and the day before the Annuity Commencement Date.

After the Annuity Commencement Date, we will deduct an annual Account Fee of $30 in the aggregate in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment we make during the year. We do not deduct any Account Fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Administrative Expense Charge and Distribution Fee

We deduct an administrative expense charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% of your average daily Variable Account Value during both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. This charge is designed to reimburse us for expenses we incur in administering the Contracts, Owner Accounts and the Variable Account that are not covered by the annual Account Fee.

We also deduct a distribution fee from the assets of the Variable Account at an effective annual rate equal to 0.20% of your average daily Variable Account Value during both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. This charge is designed to reimburse us for the expenses associated with distributing and issuing the Contracts.

Depending on the amount of expenses that we incur, we expect that we may earn a profit from these charges. If so, we may use the profit for any proper corporate purpose, including paying any other expenses in connection with the Contracts or adding to our corporate surplus.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an effective annual rate equal to 1.35% of your average daily Variable Account Value. If your Purchase Payments or Account Value exceeds $1 million on your Contract Anniversary, an amount equal to 0.15% of your Account Value will be credited to your Account on that date and on every subsequent Contract Anniversary during the Accumulation Phase. (This credit is paid out of our general account and is the result of cost savings that we expect on larger-sized Contracts.) We assume numerous mortality and expense risks under the Contracts. These risks include, but are not limited to, (1) the risk that arises from our contractual obligation to continue to make annuity payments to each Annuitant, regardless of how long the Annuitant lives and regardless of how long all Annuitants as a group live; (2) the risk that arises from our contractual obligation to pay a death benefit upon the death of the Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, including in cases where the death benefit is greater than a Contract's Account Value; (3) the risk that our cost of providing benefits according to the terms of the optional death benefit rider and any optional living benefit riders will exceed the amount of the charges we deduct for those riders; and (4)  the risk that the annual Account Fee, the administrative expense charge, and the distribution fee we assess under the Contract may be insufficient to cover the actual total administrative expenses we incur. If the amount of the charge is insufficient to cover our costs resulting from these and other mortality and expense risks, we will bear the loss. If, as we expect, the amount of the charge is more than sufficient to cover such costs, we will make a profit on the charge. We may use this profit for any proper corporate purpose, including the payment of marketing and distribution expenses for the Contract. In setting the rate of this charge, we not only consider our expected mortality and expense risks, but also our objective to earn a profit from the Contracts, after all of the costs, expenses, credits, and benefits we expect to pay in connection with the Contracts.

For Contracts purchased prior to March 5, 2007, the rate of the mortality and expense risk charge is 1.55% (rather than 1.35%), if you were age 76 or older on the Contract's Open Date. Also, during the Income Phase of a Contract, the total insurance charges are at an annual rate of 1.70% of the average daily net value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account, regardless of your age on the Open Date.

Charges for Optional Benefit Riders

If you elect an optional living benefit rider, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, an annual charge from your Account Value. The maximum amount of the charge depends upon the rider you elect as shown in the following chart. (The chart shows the charges for the forms of optional living benefit riders that are currently being offered. For more information about these charges, please see "FEES AND EXPENSES.")

Riders Currently Available
Maximum Annual Fee
   
Secured Returns for Life Plus
0.50% of highest Account Value during Contract Year*
Retirement Income Escalator
0.95% of the highest Withdrawal Benefit Base during the Contract Year**
Income ON Demand Benefit
0.65% of highest Income Benefit Base during Contract Year***
Retirement Asset Protector
0.35% of highest Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base during Contract Year****
                                     
 
* If your Secured Returns for Life Plus rider is cancelled, you will continue to pay the charge for the rider until your 7th Contract Anniversary.
 
**  The Withdrawal Benefit Base is defined under "OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: RETIREMENT INCOME ESCALATOR."
 
*** The Income Benefit Base is defined under " OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: Income ON Demand."
 
**** The Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base is defined under "OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: RETIREMENT ASSET PROTECTOR."

One quarter of the annual rider fee will be deducted on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter, based on the Account Value (for Secured Returns for Life Plus) or other applicable benefit base indicated in the foregoing table (for the other three riders) at that time.

If you elect the optional death benefit rider, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, a charge from the assets of the Variable Account equal to 0.20% of the average daily Variable Account Value of your Contract.

Premium Taxes

In New York there is no premium tax. However, if an Owner or Payee is not a New York State resident, a premium tax may be imposed, depending upon where the Owner or Payee resides. We believe that the amounts of applicable premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3.5%. You should consult a qualified tax professional to find out if you could be subject to a premium tax and the amount of any tax.

In order to reimburse us for the premium tax we may pay on Purchase Payments, our policy is to deduct the amount of such taxes from the amount you apply to provide an annuity at the time of annuitization. However, we reserve the right to deduct the amount of any applicable tax from your Account at any time, including at the time you make a Purchase Payment or make a full or partial withdrawal. We do not make any profit on the deductions we make to reimburse premium taxes.

Fund Expenses

There are fees and charges deducted from each Fund. These fees and expenses are described in the Fund prospectuses and related Statements of Additional Information.

OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: SECURED RETURNS FOR LIFE PLUSSM

The following optional living benefit rider will be available starting May 5, 2008.

At issue, you may elect to participate in an optional living benefit rider: Secured Returns for Life Plus ("Secured Returns for Life Plus" or a "Benefit"). The Benefit provides a guarantee of a return of your initial Purchase Payment (adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals), during the accumulation period. (You should note that the Benefit does not, in all cases, guarantee payments "for Life." Certain actions you take may reduce, or even exhaust, your Benefit.) You may elect the Benefit on or before the Issue Date, provided:

l
the rider is available for sale both in the state where the Contract is sold and in the state where the Owner resides;
   
l
you limit the allocation of your Purchase Payments and Account Value to one of the investment options, known as "Designated Funds" that we make available with each rider;
   
l
the oldest Owner has not attained age 81 on the Open Date; and
   
l
you do not elect any other optional living benefit rider available under your Contract.

You have the option of choosing between two different payment options under Secured Returns for Life Plus: the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit ("AB Plan") and the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit ("WB Plan"). These options are described in detail below under captions containing those names.

We use the following definitions to describe how Secured Returns for Life Plus works:

AB Plan Maturity Date:
The date when the AB Plan matures.  If you are younger than 80 on the Issue Date, your AB Plan Maturity Date is the later of your 10th Contract Anniversary or 10 years from the date of your last step-up. (See "Step-Up.") If you are 80 on the Issue Date, your AB Plan Maturity Date is your maximum Annuity Commencement Date.
   
Plus 5 Period:
The period of time equal in length to the first 10 Contract Years; or, if less than 10 years, the period of time up to the Contract Year in which the oldest Contract Owner attains age 80.
   
Bonus Base:
An amount that is equal to the initial Purchase Payment on the date the Contract is issued, and later is adjusted for any subsequent Purchase Payments, step-ups, and partial withdrawals made during the Plus 5 Period.
   
Guaranteed Living Benefit Amount
(the "GLB amount"):
The minimum amount guaranteed under the Contract while you are participating in the AB Plan. The GLB amount is initially equal to your initial Purchase Payment, which is adjusted for any subsequent Purchase Payments, step-ups, and partial withdrawals. The GLB amount is also used to set the RGLB amount on the date you elect the WB Plan.
   
Remaining Guaranteed Living Benefit
(the "RGLB amount"):
The minimum amount guaranteed if you elected the WB Plan. The RGLB amount equals the GLB amount plus any accrued bonus amount on the date you choose to participate in the WB Plan. This amount will be adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments, step-ups, bonus amounts, and partial withdrawals.
   
Guaranteed Living Benefit Base
(the "GLB Base"):
A value equal to the RGLB amount on the date you elect to participate in the WB Plan. The GLB Base is adjusted later for any subsequent Purchase Payments, step-ups, bonus amounts, and partial withdrawals. The GLB Base is used to establish the Maximum WB Amount.
   
Lifetime Income Base:
A value equal to the RGLB amount on the WB Plan election date, if you are age 60 or older on said date. A value equal to the RGLB amount on the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following your 59th birthday, if you are less than age 60 on the WB Plan election date. The Lifetime Income Base is adjusted later for any subsequent Purchase Payments, step-ups, bonus amounts, and partial withdrawals. The Lifetime Income Base is used to establish the Maximum WB for Life Amount.
   
Maximum WB Amount:
The maximum guaranteed amount available for annual withdrawal until your RGLB amount has been reduced to zero. The annual Maximum WB Amount is equal to 5% of the GLB Base.
   
Maximum WB For Life Amount:
The maximum guaranteed amount available for annual withdrawal during your lifetime. The Maximum WB for Life Amount is equal to 4% or 5% of the current Lifetime Income Base depending upon the age of the Contract Owner on the date of the first withdrawal under the WB Plan or most recent Step-Up Date. If your Contract is co-owned, the age of the oldest co-owner will be used to determine the Maximum WB for Life Amount. (You should be aware that the Maximum WB for Life Amount is not a guaranteed amount. Certain actions you take could reduce the value of your Maximum WB for Life Amount to zero.)
   
You and Your:
Under this optional living benefit rider, the terms "you" and "your" refer to the oldest Owner or the surviving spouse of the oldest Owner as described under "Death of the Owner Under the AB Plan" and "Death of the Owner Under the WB Plan." In the case of a non-natural owner, these terms refer to the oldest annuitant.

We also use the following acronyms when discussing the features of Secured Returns for Life Plus:

WB Plan
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Plan
   
AB Plan
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Plan
   
GLB Amount
Guaranteed Living Benefit Amount
   
RGLB Amount
Remaining Guaranteed Living Benefit Amount
   
Maximum WB Amount
Maximum Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Amount
   
Maximum WB for Life Amount
Maximum Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit for Life Amount

Secured Returns for Life Plus may not be appropriate for all investors. Before purchasing Secured Returns for Life Plus, you should carefully consider the following:

Secured Returns for Life Plus may be appropriate for investors who:
   
want to protect their initial Purchase Payment from market declines (subsequent purchase payments may not be fully protected).
want the option of receiving a steady stream of income for life beginning on your first Contract Anniversary after your 59th birthday.
are not prepared to decide at issue between participation in the AB Plan and participation in the WB Plan.
   
Secured Returns for Life Plus may be inappropriate for investors who:
   
want multiple owners.
want to invest in funds other than a "Designated Fund."
want to withdraw more than a fixed amount each year.

You may combine your Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit with the optional death benefit rider. Upon annuitization, Secured Returns for Life Plus and any elected optional death benefit rider automatically terminate.

Secured Returns for Life Plus guarantees a return of your initial Purchase Payment regardless of the investment performance of the Designated Funds, provided that you comply with certain requirements. The amount guaranteed can be greater than or less than your Account Value. The guaranteed amount can be paid out under a Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit ("AB") Plan, which provides for a return of your guaranteed amount on the AB Plan Maturity Date, or a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit ("WB") Plan, which provides for a return of your guaranteed amount through periodic withdrawals or, if you meet certain conditions, payments for life.

In addition, Secured Returns for Life Plus includes a bonus feature (called the "Plus 5 Program") that may increase the guaranteed amount under the WB Plan provided no withdrawals are taken during a Contract Year. These bonuses will not increase your guaranteed amount under the AB Plan. We will, however, keep track of any bonuses while you are in the AB Plan and apply them to the WB Plan, if and when you transfer into the WB Plan.  The bonuses under the Plus 5 Program are discussed further under "Plus 5 Program."

If you elect Secured Returns for Life Plus, you are automatically enrolled in the AB Plan. At any time, you may elect instead to receive your benefits under the WB Plan, provided that you make the election prior to the earliest of the date your AB Plan matures, the Contract's maximum Annuity Commencement Date (the first day of the month following the youngest Annuitant's 90th birthday), and the date you annuitize. Once you elect to participate in the WB Plan, you may not change your election to the AB Plan. If you do not specifically elect the WB Plan, you will be deemed to have elected to remain in the AB Plan.

Designated Funds

To participate in Secured Returns for Life Plus, all of your Account Value must be invested in a "Designated Fund" at all times during the term of the plan: a 10-year period under the AB Plan or, if you elected the WB Plan, until the RGLB amount is reduced to zero and the Lifetime Income Base is zero. The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as "Designated Funds" are as follows:

Asset Allocation Models
Funds
Conservative Asset Allocation
Fidelity VIP Freedom 2010 Portfolio Service - Class 2
Conservative Moderate Asset Allocation
Fidelity VIP Freedom 2015 Portfolio Service - Class 2
Moderate Asset Allocation
Fidelity VIP Freedom 2020 Portfolio Service - Class 2
Moderate Aggressive Asset Allocation
Fidelity VIP Balanced Portfolio - Service Class 2
90/10 Masters Model
MFS® Total Return Portfolio - S Class
Build Your Portfolio
Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA - Service Shares
 
AllianceBernstein VPS Balanced Wealth Strategy Fund
Dollar-Cost Averaging Program Options
Van Kampen UIF Equity & Income Portfolio II
6-Month DCA Guarantee Option
Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund
12-Month DCA Guarantee Option
 

One of the asset allocation models that qualifies as a Designated Fund is the portfolio model that applies to our "build your portfolio" program. That portfolio model and the "build your portfolio" program are described in "BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO" and in "APPENDIX E -- BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO."

We reserve the right to declare that a particular Fund no longer qualifies as a Designated Fund.  If you are invested in a Designated Fund at the time we declare the Fund no longer to be a Designated Fund, your Account Value can remain in that Fund without canceling your participation in a living benefit. However, any transfers or future Purchase Payments may only be allocated to a Fund that is declared by us to be a Designated Fund at the time of the transaction.  If you are invested in a Fund that has been declared by us to no longer be a Designated Fund, you must first transfer your Account Value from that Fund into a current Designated Fund if you want to make subsequent Purchase Payments. (Note that, if you elected to participate in the WB Plan (described below), you may not make any subsequent Purchase Payments after the fourth Contract Year unless your WB Plan has expired or terminated.) We also reserve the right to close Funds to new Contracts. We will, however, revise the prospectus to give notice to prospective investors of the closing of any Fund.  If a Designated Fund is closed to new Contracts, any current Account Value may remain in that Fund and future transfers and Purchase Payments to that Fund are permissible, as long as the Fund is still declared by us to be a Designated Fund.

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit ("AB") Plan

Under its terms, the AB Plan matures on the AB Plan Maturity Date. On that date, we will credit your Account Value with any excess of your GLB amount over your Account Value after adjusting for any Contract charges or credits. Any such amount will be allocated to the Designated Fund in which you are invested at that time.

Your GLB amount and your Bonus Base are equal to the sum of 100% of your initial Purchase Payment plus a specified percentage of any subsequent Purchase Payments, adjusted in amount for step-ups (described under "Step -Up") and partial withdrawals. If you make one or more subsequent Purchase Payments during the 10-year period, the period will not restart. Rather, the percentage of guaranteed return for each subsequent Purchase Payment after the second Contract Anniversary will be reduced depending upon the Contract Year in which it was made, as follows:

Contract Year in which
Purchase Payment was made
Percentage added to the GLB amount
 and to the Bonus Base
1-2
100%
3-5
85%
6-8
70%
9-10
60%

Note that the timing and amount of subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals may significantly affect the total Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit. In particular, Purchase Payments made after the second Contract Year may significantly reduce the value of this Benefit to you.

If your Account Value is greater than your GLB amount on the AB Plan Maturity Date, we will credit your Account Value with an amount equal to the charges you paid for Secured Returns for Life Plus. (See "Refund of Secured Returns for Life Plus Charges Under the AB Plan.") For examples of how we calculate benefits under the AB Plan, see "Appendix D - Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit Examples."

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit ("WB") Plan

Under the terms of the WB Plan, you are guaranteed a return of your RGLB amount even if your Account Value becomes zero. Each Contract Year during which the WB Plan is in effect, you can withdraw up to your Maximum WB Amount until your RGLB amount has been depleted. Once the RGLB amount is reduced to zero, your GLB Base is permanently set to zero as well. However, if you exceed your Maximum WB Amount in any one Contract Year, your RGLB and future guaranteed withdrawals will be reduced in the manner described under "Withdrawals Under the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit."

The WB Plan also guarantees that, if you have chosen the WB Plan and if you are age 60 or older, you can withdraw up to your Maximum WB for Life Amount every Contract Year that you are alive, even if your Account Value has been depleted. If you are younger than age 60, you may withdraw up to your Maximum WB for Life Amount every Contract Year after your first Contract Anniversary following your 59th birthday. If you exceed your Maximum WB for Life Amount in any one Contract Year, the amount of your subsequent guaranteed lifetime withdrawals will be reduced in the manner discussed under "Withdrawals Under the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit."

Your Guaranteed Living Benefit Base is also set equal to the RGLB amount on the date you elect to participate in the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Plan. Your Maximum WB Amount is a set dollar amount equal to 5% of your GLB Base. On the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan, we set your RGLB amount to equal your GLB amount as described under "Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit ("AB") Plan" plus any accrued bonuses. This value is used to determine your Maximum WB for Life Amount as discussed further below.

To calculate your Maximum WB for Life Amount, we must first determine your Lifetime Income Base. The Lifetime Income Base is an amount equal to the RGLB amount on:

l
the date you elected to participate in the WB Plan if you are age 60 or older on that date, or
   
l
your first Contract Anniversary after your 59th birthday, if you are 59 or younger on the date you elect to participate in the WB Plan.

The Maximum WB for Life Amount will then be calculated, based upon your age on the date of the first withdrawal under the WB Plan, as follows:

Your Age on Date of First
Withdrawal under WB Plan
 
 
Maximum WB for Life Amount
65 or older
 
5% of the Lifetime Income Base
64 or younger
 
4% of the Lifetime Income Base

You are not required to make any withdrawals after you have elected the WB Plan; however, each time you make a withdrawal, we determine whether the withdrawal has exceeded the Maximum WB Amount, the Maximum WB for Life Amount, or both. If you have exceeded the Maximum WB Amount or the Maximum WB for Life Amount, we determine the new maximum amount(s) for future withdrawals. In any one Contract Year, withdrawals in excess of your Maximum WB Amount or your Maximum WB for Life Amount may reduce or eliminate your future guaranteed withdrawals, possibly reducing the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit to an amount less than the sum of your Purchase Payments. (See "Withdrawals Under the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit.")

Provided your RGLB amount and Account Value have not been reduced to zero, any Purchase Payment made after you have elected the WB Plan, and before your fourth Contract Anniversary, will increase your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, your Bonus Base, and your Lifetime Income Base each by 100% of such Purchase Payment. Therefore, your Maximum WB Amount will equal 5% of your new GLB Base. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount will equal 4% or 5% of your new Lifetime Income Base, depending upon your age on the date of your first withdrawal under the WB Plan as shown in the above chart or your most recent "Step-Up Date," described under "Step-Up." Under the WB Plan, after your fourth Contract Anniversary, you may not make any additional Purchase Payments unless your Benefit under the rider has been cancelled, terminated, or revoked. After the fourth Contract Anniversary, any Purchase Payments submitted by an Owner while participating in the WB Plan will be treated as "Not in Good Order" and returned to the Owner, unless the Owner instructs us to terminate his participation in the rider.

For examples of how we calculate benefits under the WB Plan, see "Appendix D - Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit Examples."

     Plus 5 Program

The Plus 5 Program gives you the opportunity to increase your Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit if you defer taking withdrawals. That is to say, if you have selected the Benefit and you do not take any withdrawals in the early Contract Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in the later Contract Years. Under Secured Returns for Life Plus, the Plus 5 Program is automatically available to you during your first 10 Contract Years (the "Plus 5 Period"). However, if you are 70 or older on the Issue Date, the Plus 5 Period ends on your 80th birthday. Under the Plus 5 Program, if you do not take any withdrawals during any one or more Contract Years, we will automatically calculate a bonus based upon your initial Purchase Payment (the "Bonus Base") and adjusted for additional Purchase Payments, step-ups, and partial withdrawals. Although we calculate the amount of your bonus each year regardless of whether you are participating in the AB Plan or the WB Plan, you can benefit from any bonus amount only if you choose to participate in the WB Plan, as follows:

 
l
Assume you are participating in the AB Plan. Under this Plan, you only have the potential for increasing the amount of your withdrawals in later Contract Years. For each year you do not take a withdrawal during the Plus 5 Period, we will calculate a bonus equal to 5% of your Bonus Base and add it to an existing accrued bonus amount. The bonuses you earn will accumulate but will not increase your Account Value, your GLB amount, or any guarantee payments you receive under the AB Plan. If you choose to switch to the WB Plan, that potential for larger withdrawals will be realized. When you switch to the WB Plan, we will set your RGLB amount to equal your GLB amount plus any bonuses accumulated under your Contract while you were participating in the AB Plan.
     
 
l
Assume you are participating in the WB Plan. Under this Plan, the potential for larger withdrawals will be realized. Each year you do not take a withdrawal during the Plus 5 Period, we will not only calculate a bonus equal to 5% of your Bonus Base, but we will add that bonus to your RGLB amount on your Contract Anniversary (prior to calculating your new GLB Base or Lifetime Income Base).  In this way, your withdrawals under the WB Plan will be larger in the later years than they would have been without the Plus 5 Program. Each time we add a bonus to the RGLB amount, we will also recalculate your GLB Base and Lifetime Income Base as described below.
     
   
After the addition of any bonus, your new GLB Base will be the greater of:
   
l
your GLB Base prior to the addition of the amount of any bonus, and
   
l
your RGLB amount after the addition of any applicable bonus.
   
 
If your age is within our age limitations, we will calculate a new Lifetime Income Base. Your new Lifetime Income Base will be equal to the greater of:
   
l
your Lifetime Income Base prior to the addition of the bonus amount, and
   
l
the lesser of:
   
l
your RGLB amount after the addition of the bonus amount, and
   
l
your previous Lifetime Income Base plus the addition of any bonus amount.

While you are participating in the AB Plan during the Plus 5 Period, any bonuses that apply to your Contract will only accumulate and will not increase your GLB amount or any guarantee payments you receive under the AB Plan. However, for each Contract Year that you do not take a withdrawal during the Plus 5 Period, the bonus will be calculated and added to the existing accrued bonus amount. Before taking a withdrawal during the Plus 5 Period, you should carefully consider the negative effect this will have on your Plus 5 bonuses.

When and if you elect to participate in the WB Plan, your RGLB amount is set equal to your GLB amount plus any bonuses accumulated under your Contract while you were participating in the AB Plan. Your accrued bonus amount will then be set at zero. Any future bonus amounts, if applicable, while you are participating in the WB Plan, will be added each year, as described above.

Bonuses under the Plus 5 Program do not increase your Account Value; you can benefit from any such bonus only if you choose the WB Plan.

Cost of the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit

Unlike other Contract charges, the charge for Secured Returns for Life Plus will not be calculated as a percentage of average daily net assets as described under "Variable Accumulation Unit Value." Instead, the charge for the Benefit will be made as a specific deduction from the Account Value, taken on the last valuation day of the Account Quarter. The charge per year for Secured Returns for Life Plus is currently equal to 0.50% of your Account Value. The quarterly charge will be determined by multiplying the Account Value at the end of the Account Quarter by 0.125%. (See "Appendix D - Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit Examples.") The specific amount of the quarterly charge will be reflected on your quarterly account statement. The maximum charge you can pay for Secured Returns for Life Plus in any one Contract Year is equal to 0.50% of the highest Account Value at any point in that Contract Year.

We will continue to deduct this charge until:

l
you annuitize or
   
l
under the provisions of Secured Returns for Life Plus;
   
l
your Benefit matures;
   
l
your Benefit is revoked (see "Revocation of the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit"); or
   
l
your RGLB amount and your Lifetime Income Base are both reduced to zero under the WB Plan.

Cancellation of the Benefit (caused by a transfer out of the Designated Fund, a Purchase Payment allocation to a non-Designated Fund, or an assignment) will not terminate the charge, until the 7th Contract Anniversary. (See "Cancellation of the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit.")

Withdrawals Under the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit

Any withdrawals you take under Secured Returns for Life Plus will reduce the value of your Benefit under the rider. Such withdrawals affect your Benefit differently depending upon whether you are participating in the AB Plan or the WB Plan. In either case, however, a withdrawal may reduce the value of the Benefit by an amount greater than the amount of the withdrawal.

Assume you are participating in the AB Plan. Any withdrawals you make will reduce the dollar value of your Benefit under this rider proportionally to the amount withdrawn. For example, after a partial withdrawal, the new GLB amount will equal

old GLB amount
X
Account Value immediately after partial withdrawal
Account Value immediately before partial withdrawal

Therefore, on your AB Maturity Date, instead of crediting your Account Value with the full amount of your Benefit, we will reduce the amount we credit proportionally to the amount withdrawn. We will also proportionally reduce your Bonus Base and any accrued bonuses using a similar calculation. (See "Appendix D - Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit Examples.") However, as discussed in detail under "Plus 5 Program," even though the Bonus Base and accrued bonuses are calculated while you are in the AB Plan, you can benefit from any bonus amount only if you choose to participate in the WB Plan.

Assume you are participating in the WB Plan and you want to receive the full amount of your guaranteed benefit over a period of years. To maximize your guaranteed benefit, you may withdraw no more than a specified amount each year. In other words, each year, you may withdraw no more than your Maximum WB Amount. Your guaranteed benefit amount (the RGLB amount) will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, but your Maximum WB Amount will remain unchanged.  In other words, you will be able to take the same maximum amount each year until your guaranteed benefit amount is completely withdrawn.

If, however, in any one Contract Year, you withdraw more than the current Maximum WB Amount, the dollar value of your guaranteed benefits will be reduced and the amount of each future annual guaranteed withdrawal will be less. Here is how we calculate the benefit reduction. Your new RGLB amount will be the lesser of:

l
your previous RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, and
   
l
your Account Value after the withdrawal.

Your new GLB Base will be the lesser of:

l
your previous GLB Base reduced by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Maximum WB Amount, and
   
l
your Account Value after the withdrawal.

Your new Bonus Base will be the lesser of:

l
your previous Bonus Base reduced by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Maximum WB Amount, and
   
l
your Account Value after the withdrawal.

Your new Maximum WB Amount will be 5% of your new reduced GLB Base. Going forward, this will be the maximum amount that you can withdraw annually without further reducing your Benefit.

The Maximum WB Amount is not cumulative. If you withdraw less than the Maximum WB Amount in any one Contract Year, you cannot add that unused portion to withdrawals made in future years to increase the Maximum WB Amount.

Assume you are participating in the WB Plan and you want to receive a guaranteed annual amount for the rest of your life. To maximize your guaranteed benefit, you may withdraw no more than a specified amount each year.  Under this scenario, you may withdraw no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount. Your guaranteed benefit amount (the RGLB amount) will be reduced by the amount of such withdrawals, but your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain unchanged. In other words, you will be able to take the same maximum amount each year as long as you are alive, subject to the other terms and conditions described herein.

If, however, in any one Contract Year, you withdraw more than the current Maximum WB for Life Amount, the dollar value of your guaranteed benefits will be reduced and the amount of each future annual guaranteed withdrawal will be less. Here is how we calculate the benefit reduction. Your new Lifetime Income Base will be the lesser of:

l
your previous Lifetime Income Base reduced by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Maximum WB for Life Amount, and
   
l
the Account Value after the withdrawal.

Your new Maximum WB for Life Amount will be determined based upon your age on the date of the first withdrawal under the WB Plan (or your age on the most recent "Step-Up Date," if later) as follows:

Your Age on the later of Date of First
Withdrawal under WB Plan
or Most Recent Step-Up Date
 
 
 
New Maximum WB for Life Amount
65 or older
 
5% of the new Lifetime Income Base
64 or younger
 
4% of the new Lifetime Income Base

The Maximum WB for Life Amount is not cumulative. That is to say, the unused portion in any Contract Year cannot be applied in future years to increase the Maximum WB for Life Amount.

In general when participating in the WB Plan, you should keep the following in mind:

l
A withdrawal in excess of the Maximum WB Amount or the Maximum WB for Life Amount might reduce or eliminate your Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefits.
   
l
If your Account Value drops to zero and, in the same year, you withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount or your Maximum WB for Life Amount, your benefits under Secured Returns for Life Plus will terminate.
   
l
If your Account Value drops to zero but you did not, in the same year, withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount or your Maximum WB for Life Amount, your benefits under Secured Returns for Life Plus will continue. However, no subsequent Purchase Payment will be accepted, no death benefit or annuity benefits will be payable, and all benefits under your Contract, except the right to continue annual withdrawals under this rider, will terminate. You will have two choices:
   
(1)
You could choose to receive the Maximum WB for Life Amount, if any, until you die. In that case, after your death, your beneficiary receives the Maximum WB Amount until the RGLB amount, if any, is reduced to zero; or
   
(2)
You (or your beneficiary if you have died) could choose to receive the Maximum WB Amount until the RGLB amount, if any, is reduced to zero.
   
 
If you do not make a choice, we will default you to option 1.

For examples showing how withdrawals affect your benefits under the WB Plan, see "Appendix D - Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit Examples."

Annuitization Under the WB Plan

Under the WB Plan, if your Account Value is greater than zero on the maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you may annuitize your Contract rather than receiving periodic payments under the WB plan. If no prior election to annuitize is on file with the Company, on the maximum Annuity Commencement Date you may elect to:

l
annuitize the Contract as described under "THE INCOME PHASE - ANNUITY PROVISIONS";
   
l
surrender your Contract;
   
l
receive the Maximum WB Amount each year until the RGLB amount is reduced to zero; or
   
l
receive the Maximum WB for Life Amount each year until an Owner dies and, thereafter, allow the beneficiary to receive the Maximum WB Amount until the RGLB amount, if any, is reduced to zero.

Regardless of whether you elect to annuitize, surrender or receive payments under the WB plan, all other Contract benefits, including the death benefit, will terminate on the Annuity Commencement Date. If you fail to make an election, we may automatically annuitize your Contract and provide a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.

Cancellation of the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit

Transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under "Transfer Privilege." If, however, you transfer some or all of your Account Value out of the Designated Funds, the Secured Returns for Life Plus benefits will be automatically cancelled. Likewise, if you allocate one or more subsequent Purchase Payments to an investment option other than one of the Designated Funds, the Secured Returns for Life Plus benefits will be cancelled.

A change of ownership of the Contract may also cancel Secured Returns for Life Plus.

Once Secured Returns for Life Plus has been cancelled, it cannot be reinstated. After cancellation of the benefits, you will continue to pay the annual charge for Secured Returns for Life Plus until your 7th Contract Anniversary.

Revocation of the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit

Anytime after your 7th Contract Anniversary, you may revoke Secured Returns for Life Plus. Once revoked, Secured Returns for Life Plus may not be reinstated. After Secured Returns for Life Plus has been revoked, all benefits and charges will end.

Step-Up

On or after your first Contract Anniversary, you may elect to increase your guaranteed amount to your then current Account Value. Currently, this step-up election may be made on any day after your first Contract Anniversary. (We reserve the right to require step-up elections to occur only within 30 days following the first or any subsequent Contract Anniversary.)

If you are participating in the AB Plan, on the day we receive your step-up election notice in good order (the "Step-Up Date"), we will increase your GLB amount and Bonus Base to an amount equal to your Account Value on the Step-Up Date, if eligible. If you elect to step-up, at least 1 full year from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up. You can only elect to step-up if:

l
your current Account Value is greater than the current GLB amount, and
   
l
your Account Value is $5,000,000 or less on your Step-Up Date.

If you are participating in the WB Plan on the Step-Up Date, we will step up your GLB Base, your Bonus Base, your RGLB amount, and your Lifetime Income Base to an amount equal to your Account Value on the Step-Up Date, if eligible. If you elect to step-up, at least 1 full year from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up.  You can only elect to step-up if:

l
your current Account Value is greater than the current GLB Base and greater than the current Lifetime Income Base, and
   
l
your Account Value is $5,000,000 or less on your Step-Up Date.

For purposes of determining the above $5,000,000 limits, we reserve the right to aggregate your Account Value with the account values of all other Sun Life variable annuity contracts you own.

If you are in the AB Plan, your Step-Up Date must be at least 10 years prior to your maximum Annuity Commencement Date. If you have selected an Annuity Commencement Date that is prior to the maximum Annuity Commencement Date but is less than 10 years after your Step-Up Date, we will automatically extend your Annuity Commencement Date to equal your AB Plan Maturity Date.

Without a step-up, your benefits under the AB Plan will "mature" on the 10th Contract Anniversary (the date we credit your Account with any excess of your GLB amount over your Account Value or refund your Secured Returns for Life Plus Rider charge, i.e. the "AB Plan Maturity Date"). If you elect to step-up your GLB amount, the term of your benefits under the AB Plan will change. After you make a step-up election, your benefits under the AB Plan will mature 10 years from the Step-Up Date, unless you elect the WB Plan any time before the AB Plan matures. (See "Appendix D - Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit Examples.") Accrued bonus amounts after step-up under the AB Plan will be equal to the greater of:

l
the accrued bonus amount before step-up less the difference between the GLB amount after and before step-up, and
   
l
zero.

Thus, a step-up while the AB Plan is in effect will cause a reduction in the amount of any accrued bonuses.

Following your step-up election, the rider fee will be changed to an amount equal to the Secured Returns for Life Plus fee charged on newly issued Contracts at that time. This fee may be higher than your current fee as set forth under "Cost of the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit." If we are no longer issuing new Contracts with the Secured Returns for Life Plus Rider, then the rider fee after the step-up will be set by us, based upon current market conditions at the time of the step-up.

If you have been receiving benefits under the WB Plan, a step-up will change your Maximum WB Amount and your Maximum WB for Life Amount. Your Step-Up Date must be a date prior to your maximum Annuity Commencement Date. After the step-up, your Maximum WB Amount will be 5% of the new GLB Base, and your Maximum WB for Life Amount will be 4% or 5% of your new Lifetime Income Base depending upon your age. If you are 65 or older on the Step-Up Date and your Maximum WB for Life Amount has been equal to 4% of your GLB Base, your Maximum WB for Life Amount will be increased to 5% of your GLB Base. Note that, if you step-up in a particular Contract Year, any withdrawals previously made in that Contract Year are applied against your new Maximum WB Amount and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount. (See "Appendix D - Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit Examples.")

If your Benefit is under the AB Plan, at the time of step-up, you can still change to the WB Plan at a later date, subject to the applicable age restrictions described under "Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit ('WB') Plan". (See "Appendix D - Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit Examples.")

Subsequent Purchase Payments After a Step-Up

Under the WB Plan, any subsequent Purchase Payment will increase, by the full amount of the payment, the RGLB amount, the GLB Base, the Bonus Base, and the Lifetime Income Base, if applicable. After your fourth Contract Anniversary, if you are participating in the WB Plan, subsequent Purchase Payments are not allowed.

Under the AB Plan, after your step-up election, any subsequent Purchase Payment will increase the GLB amount and the Bonus Base under your AB Plan by a specified percentage of the subsequent Purchase Payment. The percentage guaranteed depends upon the "Step-Up Year" in which the Payment was made. (A "Step-Up Year" is the 365-day period (366, if a leap year) commencing on your Step-Up Date.) The example below illustrates how we determine the percentage guaranteed after a subsequent Purchase Payment:

 
Assume you purchased a Contract on July 1, 2010, and elected to step-up your Contract on October 1, 2015. Under the AB Plan that you have elected, your Benefit matures on October 1, 2025. For any subsequent Purchase Payments you make into this Contract, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base would increase by the following percentages of such Purchase Payments:
   
 
Step-Up Year
 
Payments Made Between
Percentage Added to the
GLB amount and the Bonus Base
 
1
10/02/15 – 10/01/16
100%
 
2
10/02/16 – 10/01/17
100%
 
3
10/02/17 – 10/01/18
85%
 
4
10/02/18 – 10/01/19
85%
 
5
10/02/19 – 10/01/20
85%
 
6
10/02/20 – 10/01/21
70%
 
7
10/02/21 – 10/01/22
70%
 
8
10/02/22 – 10/01/23
70%
 
9
10/02/23 – 10/01/24
60%
 
10
10/02/24 – 10/01/25
60%
 

Thus, only 70% of a subsequent Purchase Payment made on October 2, 2020 would be guaranteed, whereas 85% of a subsequent Purchase Payment made on October 1, 2020 would be guaranteed. It may be to your disadvantage to make any such Purchase Payments that increase the GLB amount by less that 100% of the payment.

Renewal of the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit

If you elect to participate in the AB Plan and you remain in the Plan until it matures, you may elect to renew your participation in Secured Returns for Life Plus, provided that we are still offering the Benefit to new Owners. Upon renewal, the annual charge for participation in the Benefit will be extended under the terms and conditions applicable to new Owners at that time. If renewal in the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit is not available, or is available but you make no election to renew your participation in the Benefit, all further benefits under Secured Returns for Life Plus will be discontinued. We reserve the right to stop offering the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit to new Owners. If we do so, renewals will no longer be available.

Once you elect to participate in the WB Plan, you may not renew your participation in Secured Returns for Life Plus.

Refund of Secured Returns for Life Plus Charges Under the AB Plan

If your Contract remains in the AB Plan until the AB Plan Maturity Date, and the Account Value is greater than or equal to the GLB amount, then we will refund the charges you have paid for Secured Returns for Life Plus ("Refund Amount") by crediting the Refund Amount to your Account Value. The Refund Amount will be allocated to the Designated Fund in which you are invested on such AB Plan Maturity Date. No refund of the Secured Returns for Life Plus rider charges will be made if you change from the AB Plan to the WB Plan.

Death of the Owner Under the AB Plan

If you die while participating in the AB Plan, all benefits and charges under Secured Returns for Life Plus will automatically terminate when we receive Due Proof of Death, unless the surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract. In that case, the surviving spouse has three options under the Contract.

(1)
The spouse can automatically continue in the AB Plan even though the Account Value may have been enhanced under the provisions of the death benefit. (See "Spousal Continuance" under "DEATH BENEFIT.") The charges under Secured Returns for Life Plus will be assessed against the enhanced Account Value. The GLB amount, however, will not be reset.
   
(2)
The surviving spouse can elect to switch to the WB Plan; however, such election must be made prior to the earliest of annuitization, the maximum Annuity Commencement Date, and the scheduled AB Plan Maturity Date. The same WB Plan benefits will apply, except the surviving spouse will not be entitled to receive lifetime withdrawal benefits under the original optional living benefit rider.
   
(3)
The surviving spouse can elect to participate in a new Secured Returns for Life Plus rider on the original Contract (assuming that the rider is available to new Owners at the time of election and the surviving spouse meets certain eligibility requirements) and, thus, be eligible to receive lifetime withdrawal benefits. If the surviving spouse makes such election: (a) the rider charge will be equal to the rider charge on newly issued Contracts; (b) the GLB amount and the Bonus Base will be equal to the Account Value after the death benefit has been credited; and (c) the spouse will be enrolled in the AB Plan. If the spouse elects to switch to the WB Plan, the GLB Base and the RGLB amount will be the GLB amount on the date the spouse elected to participate in the WB Plan. The Lifetime Income Base will be the RGLB amount on:
   
l
the date the surviving spouse elected to participate in the WB Plan, if the spouse is age 60 or older on that date, or
   
l
the Contract Anniversary after the surviving spouse reaches age 59, if the spouse is 59 or younger on the date of the WB Plan election.

If the Contract is not continued by the surviving spouse following an Owner's death while participating in the AB Plan, the Beneficiary may elect any available option under the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract.

Death of the Owner Under the WB Plan

If an Owner dies while participating in the WB Plan, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise any of the available options under the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract or, alternatively, to receive the Maximum WB Amount on an annual basis until the RGLB amount has been reduced to zero. If the surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, the spouse has two additional options under the Contract:

(1)
The surviving spouse can automatically continue to participate in the WB Plan, but lifetime withdrawal benefits will not be available to the spouse. All other benefits under the WB Plan will continue, for the surviving spouse, even though the Account Value may have been enhanced under the provisions of the death benefit. (See "Spousal Continuance" under "DEATH BENEFIT.") The charges under Secured Returns for Life Plus will be assessed against the enhanced Account Value. The RGLB amount, however, will not be reset.
   
(2)
The surviving spouse can elect to participate in a new Secured Returns for Life Plus rider on the original contract (subject to the terms and conditions described under "Death of the Owner Under the AB Plan") and, thus, be eligible to receive lifetime withdrawal benefits.

Certain Tax Considerations

Certain tax considerations may be important to you in connection with a living benefit rider, such as Secured Returns for Life Plus. For a discussion of some of these considerations, please refer to "TAX ISSUES UNDER OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS" and "TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefit and Optional Living Benefit Riders."

OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: RETIREMENT INCOME ESCALATORSM

The following optional living benefit rider will be available starting May 5, 2008.

You may elect to participate in an optional living benefit rider known as the Retirement Income Escalator (“RIE”). The RIE provides an annual income guarantee for life.  Your income amount will not decrease, provided that your withdrawals do not exceed the guaranteed amount in any year.  In general, the longer you wait for your first withdrawal under the RIE, the larger the guaranteed annual income amount.  You may elect the RIE on or before your Issue Date. To describe how the RIE works, we use the following definitions:

RIE Coverage Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 59½ at issue; otherwise, the first Contract Anniversary after you attain age 59½.
   
Annual Withdrawal Amount:
The total guaranteed amount available for withdrawal each Contract Year during your life, provided that you comply with certain conditions.  The Annual Withdrawal Amount is equal to your current Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. (You should be aware that certain actions you take could significantly reduce the amount of your Annual Withdrawal Amount.)
   
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage:
The percentage used to calculate your Annual Withdrawal Amount. The percentage will be 5%, 6%, or 7% depending upon your age on your first withdrawal under the Contract after your RIE Coverage Date. Once determined, the percentage is set for the life of your RIE.
   
Withdrawal Benefit Base:
The amount used to calculate (1) your Annual Withdrawal Amount and (2) your cost for the RIE.
   
RIE Bonus Period
A ten-year period commencing on the RIE Coverage Date and ending on your tenth Contract Anniversary. If you “step up” your RIE (described below) during the RIE Bonus Period, the RIE Bonus Period is extended to ten years from the date of the step-up.
   
Bonus Base:
The amount on which bonuses are calculated.  The Bonus Base is equal to the sum of your Purchase Payments, increased by any “step-ups” (described below) and reduced proportionately by any withdrawal taken prior to your RIE Coverage Date or any excess withdrawals (see “Excess Withdrawals” under “Withdrawals Under the RIE”).
   
You and Your:
The terms "you" and "your" refer to the oldest Owner or the surviving spouse of the oldest Owner, as described under "Death of the Owner Under the RIE with Single-Life Coverage." In the case of a non-natural Owner, these terms refer to the oldest annuitant.

The RIE may not be appropriate for all investors. Before purchasing the RIE, you should carefully consider the following:

The RIE may be appropriate for you if you are an investor who:
   
wants a guaranteed stream of income for life without annuitizing, beginning on or after your RIE Coverage Date.
wants the option of joint-life coverage.
can defer withdrawals during your early Contract Years to increase your benefit in later years.
   
The RIE is inappropriate for you if you are an investor who:
   
anticipates the need for excess withdrawals (i.e., withdrawals in excess of those permitted annually under the terms of the RIE) or early withdrawals (i.e., withdrawals prior to your RIE Coverage Date).
wants to invest in funds other than a "Designated Fund."
is significantly younger than 59½ on the Issue Date (or age 63 for joint-life coverage), because RIE does not begin to accrue a bonus until you reach the RIE Coverage Date.
is invested in contributory plans, because the RIE prohibits any Purchase Payments after the first Contract Anniversary.

You may combine your RIE benefit with the optional death benefit rider. Upon annuitization, the RIE and any elected optional death benefit rider automatically terminate.

You may elect to participate in the RIE, provided that:

l
the rider is available for sale both in the state where the Contract is sold and in the state where the Owner resides;
   
l
neither the oldest Owner nor the oldest Annuitant has attained age 81 on or before the date we receive your application in good order (in the case of a non-natural Owner, the oldest Annuitant has not attained age 81 on or before that date);
   
l
you limit the allocation of your Purchase Payments and Account Value to one of the investment options, known as "Designated Funds," that we make available with the RIE; and
   
l
you do not elect any other optional living benefit rider available under your Contract.

The RIE allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount of money each year, beginning on your RIE Coverage Date, until the death of any Owner if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Owner and the Owner's spouse if joint-life coverage is elected). Your right to take withdrawals under the RIE continues regardless of the investment performance of a Designated Fund, provided that you comply with certain requirements. The amount you can withdraw, in any one year, is 5%, 6% or 7% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base, depending upon your age on the date of your first withdrawal after your RIE Coverage Date.

In addition, if you make no withdrawals in a Contract Year during your RIE Bonus Period, we will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base by an amount equal to 5% of your Bonus Base.  The RIE Bonus Period is a 10-year period commencing on your RIE Coverage Date (the later of your Issue Date or the first Contract Anniversary after you reach age 59½).  The period will be extended for an additional 10 years commencing on each step-up of the Withdrawal Benefit Base (see  “Step-Up Under the RIE”), provided that the step-up occurs prior to the conclusion of the current 10-year period. If you are significantly younger than 59½ at issue, you should carefully consider whether RIE is an appropriate choice in light of the possibility of a longer waiting period before the RIE bonus can begin to accrue.

If you are participating in the RIE, you may not make Purchase Payments after the first year following your Issue Date. After the first Contract Anniversary, any Purchase Payments submitted by an Owner while participating in the RIE will be treated as “Not in Good Order” and returned to the Owner, unless the Owner instructs us to terminate his participation in the RIE.

Under the RIE, you have the option of choosing between single-life coverage and joint-life coverage. These options are described in greater detail under "Joint-Life Coverage," "Death of the Owner Under the RIE with Single-Life Coverage," and "Death of the Owner Under the RIE with Joint-Life Coverage."

Determining Your Withdrawal Benefit Base

On the Issue Date, we set your Withdrawal Benefit Base equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, your Withdrawal Benefit Base is:

l
decreased following any withdrawals you take prior to your RIE Coverage Date;
   
l
decreased following any withdrawals you take after your RIE Coverage Date, if such withdrawal is in excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount at the time of the withdrawal;
   
l
increased by any applicable bonuses;
   
l
increased by any step-ups as described under "Step-Up Under the RIE"; and
   
l
increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date.

Determining Your Annual Withdrawal Amount

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is calculated when you make your first withdrawal after your RIE Coverage Date.  It is a set percentage of your Withdrawal Benefit Base.  This percentage, known as the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage, is determined based upon your age at that time, as follows:

Your Age on the Date of the
First Withdrawal After
 Your RIE Coverage Date*
 
 
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
   
59½ - 69
5%
70 - 79
6%
80 – or older
7%
                        *If you elected joint-life coverage, the age ranges are based upon the age of the younger spouse
                          as described under “Joint-Life Coverage.”

Once set, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will remain the same for the life of your RIE.  Your Annual Withdrawal Amount equals your Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. Therefore, if your Withdrawal Benefit Base changes after your Annual Withdrawal Amount is determined, your Annual Withdrawal Amount will also change.  The new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be effective on the next Contract Anniversary and, at that time, will reflect any increases caused by a step-up or a bonus that took place during the prior Contract Year and any decreases caused by excess withdrawals (described below) that were taken during the prior Contract Year. The new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be in effect for all subsequent Contract Years, unless and until there is a further change in your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

How the RIE Works

Each Contract Year, beginning on your RIE Coverage Date, you can take withdrawals totaling up to the amount of your Annual Withdrawal Amount, subject to the terms and conditions discussed below.  Even if your Account Value is reduced to zero, as long as your Withdrawal Benefit Base is greater than zero, you can withdraw up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount every year of your life unless you choose to cancel the RIE.

If you defer taking any withdrawals in a Contract Year during the RIE Bonus Period, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be increased by an amount equal to 5% of your Bonus Base, thereby increasing your Annual Withdrawal Amount.  In this way, if you defer taking withdrawals during your early Contract Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in later Contract Years. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is not, however, cumulative:  any unused portion of your Annual Withdrawal Amount in any Contract Year cannot be applied to a future year. Note that if you are significantly younger than 59½ at issue, you should carefully consider whether RIE is an appropriate choice in light of the possibility of a longer waiting period before the RIE bonus can begin to accrue.

Note that the timing and amount of your withdrawals may significantly decrease your total RIE, as described further under "Withdrawals Under the RIE."  Note also that investing in any Fund, other than a "Designated Fund," will cancel the RIE, as described under "Cancellation of the RIE."

Here is an example of how the RIE works:

Assume that you are age 57 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate in the RIE with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date.  Because you have not reached age 59½ prior to your Issue Date, your RIE Coverage Date will be the first Contract Anniversary after you attain age 59½.  Beginning on your RIE Coverage Date, you can withdraw up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Contract Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base.  Your Annual Withdrawal Amount beginning at your RIE Coverage Date is 5% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base.
 
Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 5% of your Bonus Base each Contract Year in which you do not take a withdrawal beginning with your RIE Coverage Date.  (For convenience, assume that the investment performance on your underlying investments remains neutral throughout the life of your Contract, except for Contract Year 2.)
 
Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Contract Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 by the beginning of Contract Year 3.  Your Contract is, therefore, eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base.  Assume that we have not increased the percentage used to calculate the RIE fee on newly issued Contracts; therefore we will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base to $125,000.  Your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $6,250.  Going forward, your new Bonus Base will be $125,000, unless increased by another step-up or reduced by an excess withdrawal, and your RIE Bonus Period will now end on your 12th Contract Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the step-up).

Assume you take your first withdrawal when you are age 63 in Contract Year 7.  Using the above chart, we set your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage at 5%.  Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be equal to 5% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

There is no way to know for certain whether forgoing income in one or more years will increase or decrease the total income paid to the Owner over the life of the annuity.  Generally speaking, not taking income in a year will increase the Annual Withdrawal Amount due to the bonus and the potential for step-ups.  Therefore, not taking income in one or more years will mean that the Owner will take income in fewer years, but will be entitled to more income in those years.

The total lifetime payments to the Owner could be more or less depending upon investment performance over the life of the Contract and the age to which the Owner lives.  Better investment performance and a longer life span generally make it advantageous to forgo the Annual Withdrawal Amount in a limited number of years.

In general the Company’s risk is greater when the Owner takes the Annual Withdrawal Amount each year beginning on the RIE Coverage Date.

Withdrawals Under the RIE

     Withdrawals After the RIE Coverage Date

Starting on your RIE Coverage Date, you may take withdrawals totaling up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Contract Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base.  These withdrawals will reduce your Account Value by the amount of the withdrawal, but will not change your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

Above is an example of withdrawals taken after your RIE Coverage Date.  Because they do not exceed your Annual Withdrawal Amount, the withdrawals do not reduce your Withdrawal Benefit Base or your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

     Excess Withdrawals

If you take a withdrawal that exceeds your Annual Withdrawal Amount (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if higher), your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base will be reduced proportionately by the excess amount of the withdrawal.  In other words, after an “excess withdrawal,” your Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced according to the following formulae:

 
Your new Bonus Base
=
A x
(
 C
)
     
D - E

 
Your new Withdrawal
=
B x
(
C
)
 
Benefit Base
 
D - E

Where:
   
 
A   =
Your Bonus Base immediately prior to the excess withdrawal.
     
 
B  =
Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the excess withdrawal.
     
 
C   =
Your Account Value immediately after the excess withdrawal.
     
 
D   =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the excess withdrawal.
     
 
E   =
Your Annual Withdrawal Amount minus any prior partial withdrawals taken during the current Contract Year.

Using the facts of the above example, assume that in Contract Year 7, you take two withdrawals: a $4,000 withdrawal followed by a $6,000 withdrawal.  Your first withdrawal reduces your Account Value to $121,000 but does not affect your Bonus Base because it is not in excess of your Annual Withdrawal Amount. Your second withdrawal (when combined with the first) is in excess of your $7,500 Annual Withdrawal Amount.  After your second withdrawal, your Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced as follows:
           
 
Your new Bonus Base
=
125,000
x
121,000 – 6,000                   
         
121,000 – (7,500 – 4,000)
           
   
=
125,000
x
115,000
         
117,500
           
   
=
125,000
x
0.97872
           
   
=
122,340
   
           
 
Your new Withdrawal
       
 
Benefit Base
=
150,000
x
121,000 – 6,000                   
         
121,000 – (7,500 – 4,000)
           
   
=
150,000
x
115,000
         
117,500
           
   
=
150,000
x
0.97872
           
   
=
146,809
   
           
Going forward, your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be reduced to 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base or $7,340.

You should be aware that, if your Account Value is less than the Withdrawal Benefit Base at the time an excess withdrawal is taken (as in the above example), then your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Benefit Base will be reduced by an amount equal to or more than the excess amount withdrawn.  Thus, excess withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce your RIE.

     Withdrawals Prior to the RIE Coverage Date (Early Withdrawals)

All withdrawals taken prior to your RIE Coverage Date will be treated as “early withdrawals” and your Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced proportionately to the amount of the withdrawal.  In other words, your Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced by the following formulae:

 
Your new Bonus Base
=
W x
(
Y
)
     
Z

 
Your new Withdrawal
=
X x
(
Y
)
 
Benefit Base
 
Z

Where:
   
 
W   =
Your Bonus Base immediately prior to the early withdrawal.
     
 
X   =
Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the early withdrawal.
     
 
Y  =
Your Account Value immediately after the early withdrawal.
     
 
Z   =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the early withdrawal.

Assume that you are age 45 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate in the RIE with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage the number shown in the example could be different.)  Your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date.  Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will not increase by 5% of your Bonus Base until you reach your RIE Coverage Date.  Your RIE Coverage Date will not occur until your 15th Contract Anniversary (the first Contract Anniversary after you reach age 59½).  Any withdrawals you take prior to that time will be “early withdrawals.”
 
Assume that because of good investment performance of the Designated Fund during Contract Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 by the beginning of Contract Year 3. Your Contract is therefore eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base. Assume that we have not increase the percentage used to calculate the RIE fee on newly issued Contracts; therefore we will step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base to $125,000.
 
Assume that, in your Contract Year 7, you withdraw $10,000.  Because you are age 51 (and younger that age 59½), this is an early withdrawal.

x
0.92000
           
   
=
115,000
   
           
Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will still be $0 because you have not reached your RIE Coverage Date.  You will be eligible to begin taking your Annual Withdrawals without decreasing your Withdrawal Benefit Base beginning on your RIE Coverage Date.

You should be aware that early withdrawals could severely reduce (or even exhaust) your RIE.

In addition to reducing your RIE, any withdrawal before you reach age 59½ could have adverse tax consequences. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

     Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero as a result of an "excess withdrawal" or an "early withdrawal" (as described above), your Withdrawal Benefit Base will also be reduced to zero. Therefore, your Contract, as well as your RIE, will end.

If, on the other hand, your Account Value is reduced to zero through any combination of poor investment performance of the Designated Fund, Contract charges, and withdrawals other than excess or early withdrawals, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will not be reduced. Your Contract will therefore end, but your RIE will continue.  That is to say, regardless of your age on the day the Account Value is reduced to zero, you will be entitled to receive your Annual Withdrawal Amount each year for as long as you live.

Cost of the RIE

If you elect the RIE, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value ("RIE Fee"). The RIE Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter. The RIE Fee will be a percentage of your Withdrawal Benefit Base.  This percentage will equal 0.1875% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base on the last day of the Account Quarter, if you elected single-life coverage (0.2375% for joint-life coverage).  The maximum RIE Fee you can pay in any one Contract Year is equal to 0.75% of the highest Withdrawal Benefit Base at any point in that Contract Year, if you elected single-life coverage (0.95% for joint-life coverage).

Your RIE Fee will not change during an Contract Year, unless you take one of the following specific actions:

l
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Contract Year, you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base and thus your RIE Fee.
   
l
If you make a withdrawal before your RIE Coverage Date or a withdrawal in excess of your Annual Withdrawal Amount, you will decrease your Withdrawal Benefit Base and thus your RIE Fee.

The investment performance of the Designated Fund will not affect your RIE Fee during an Contract Year.  However, as explained under "Step-Up Under the RIE," favorable investment performance may cause the Withdrawal Benefit Base to increase on an Contract Anniversary.  That would also increase your RIE Fee.

We will continue to deduct the RIE Fee until you annuitize your Contract, your Account Value reduces to zero, or your RIE is terminated or cancelled as described under "Cancellation of the RIE".

We reserve the right to make special offers from time to time.  Specifically, we reserve the right to waive the RIE Fee for a limited period on newly issued Contracts. The same waiver would apply to all Contracts issued while we are making the special offer.

Step-Up Under the RIE

Regardless of your age on the Issue Date, on each Contract Anniversary prior to your maximum Annuity Commencement Date, we will automatically step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base each to equal your Account Value, provided that certain requirements are satisfied.  First, you must meet certain eligibility requirements:

l
Your Account Value must equal no more than $5,000,000. (For purposes of determining the $5,000,000 limit, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to aggregate your Account Value with the account values of all other variable annuity contracts you own issued by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) or its affiliates.)
   
l
Your Account Value must be greater than your current Withdrawal Benefit Base, adjusted for any 5% bonus increases.

Note that we have reserved the right to add another requirement for eligibility. We have reserved the right to only allow step-ups if your money is invested in a Fund that is a Designated Fund for newly issued contracts. (See "Designated Funds.")

If you satisfy the eligibility requirements, then we consider whether market conditions have caused us to increase the percentage used to calculate the RIE Fee on newly issued Contracts.  If we are no longer issuing Contracts with the RIE rider then the percentage we use to calculate your RIE Fee will be set based upon current market conditions at that time.

l
If we have not had to increase the percentage as described above, the percentage we use to calculate your RIE will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base.
   
l
If we have had to increase the percentage as described above, we offer you the opportunity to step-up at the higher percentage.  In this case, your prior written consent is required to accept the higher percentage used to calculate your RIE Fee and step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base. If you do not consent to the step-up and higher percentage, the step-up will not be implemented and all subsequent step-ups under your RIE will also be suspended.  You may thereafter submit an election form to us, however, to consent to the higher percentage and reactivate subsequent automatic step-ups.

After a step-up, your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be equal to your new Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage.  Here is an example of how we calculate a step-up under the RIE:

Assume that you are age 60 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate in the RIE with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage the numbers shown in the example could be different.)  Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Fund during Contract Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 by the beginning of Contract Year 3.  Your Contract is, therefore, eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base.  Assume that we have not increased the percentage used to calculate the RIE fee on newly issued Contracts; therefore we will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base to $125,000.  Your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $6,250.

Going forward, your new Bonus Base will be $125,000, unless increased by another step-up or reduced by an excess withdrawal, and your RIE Bonus Period will now end on your 12th Contract Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the step-up).

Designated Funds

To participate in the RIE, all of your Account Value must be invested in a "Designated Fund" at all times during the term of the RIE. (The “term” of the RIE is for life, unless your Withdrawal Benefit Base is reduced to zero or your RIE is terminated or cancelled as described under "Cancellation of the RIE," "Depleting Your Account Value," and "Annuitization Under the RIE.") Only the following Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models currently qualify as "Designated Funds":

One of the asset allocation models that qualifies as a Designated Fund is the portfolio model that applies to our "build your portfolio" program. That portfolio model and the "build your portfolio" program are described in "BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO" and in "APPENDIX E -- BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO."

We reserve the right to declare that a particular Fund no longer qualifies as a Designated Fund.  If you are invested in a Designated Fund at the time we declare the Fund no longer to be a Designated Fund, your Account Value can remain in that Fund without canceling your participation in a living benefit. However, any transfers or future Purchase Payments may only be allocated to a Fund that is declared by us to be a Designated Fund at the time of the transaction.  If you are invested in a Fund that has been declared by us to no longer be a Designated Fund, you must first transfer your Account Value from that Fund into a current Designated Fund if you want to make subsequent Purchase Payments. (Note that subsequent Purchase Payments can only be made during the first Contract Year.) We also reserve the right to close Funds to new Contracts. We will, however, revise the prospectus to give notice to prospective investors of the closing of any Fund.  If a Designated Fund is closed to new Contracts, any current Account Value may remain in that Fund and future transfers and Purchase Payments to that Fund are permissible, as long as the Fund is still declared by us to be a Designated Fund.

Note that we have reserved the right to allow step-ups only if your Account Value is invested in a Fund that has been declared by us to be a Designated Fund.  In such case, if you are invested in a Fund that has been declared by us no longer to be a Designated Fund, you may have to transfer into a current Designated Fund before a step-up can occur. If you decide not to transfer into a current Designated Fund and forgo step-up, then your living benefit rider will continue with all of the benefits except for step-up.

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you have the option of electing the RIE with single-life coverage or, for a higher RIE Fee, with joint-life coverage. Once you make the election, you cannot switch between joint-life and single-life coverage, regardless of any change in life events. Joint-life coverage is not available if you are unmarried on the Issue Date.

Joint-life coverage can be elected on an individually-owned Contract or on a co-owned Contract. On an individually-owned Contract, joint-life coverage is available only if your spouse is the sole beneficiary on the Issue Date and remains the sole beneficiary while the RIE is in effect.  On a co-owned contract, joint-life coverage is available only if you and your spouse are the only co-owners on the Issue Date and remain so while the RIE is in effect.  Whereas single-life coverage provides annual withdrawals under the RIE only until any Owner dies, joint-life coverage provides annual withdrawals under the RIE for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. (Note, however, upon the death of a spouse, the Contract, (including the RIE) ends.  To take annual withdrawals under the RIE’s joint-life feature after the death of a spouse, the surviving spouse must first elect to continue the Contract through the “Spousal Continuance” provision.)  See also “Death of the Owner Under the RIE with Joint-Life Coverage.”

If you have elected joint-life coverage, the RIE Coverage Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 63 on the Issue Date, and will be the first Contract Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 63 if the younger spouse is less than age 63 on the Issue Date. (For purposes of joint-life coverage, the younger spouse refers to the person who was the younger spouse on the Issue Date, even if that person has died or is no longer married to the person who was his or her spouse on the Issue Date.)  Thus, “early withdrawals” will be determined based upon this definition of your RIE Coverage Date.  Your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will be determined based on the age that the younger spouse is (or would have been) on the date of the first withdrawal under the Contract after the RIE Coverage Date, as follows:

Age of Younger Spouse on
Date of the First Withdrawal After
Your RIE Coverage Date*
 
 
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
   
63 - 74
5%
75 - 79
6%
80 or older
7%
                 *These age ranges will be different if you elected single-life coverage.

Once set, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will remain the same for the life of your RIE.  Your Annual Withdrawal Amount equals your Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage.

The two spouses on the Issue Date are the only two people covered under the joint-life feature.  If an Owner remarries, the new spouse is not covered under the joint-life feature.  Therefore, if the spouse on the Issue Date is no longer your spouse, the RIE benefits continue for your life and, when you die, annual withdrawals are no longer available.  Note that when you elect joint-life coverage you also elect the higher joint-life fee.  That fee will not change as long as the RIE is in effect, regardless of any change in life events.

If one spouse is significantly younger than the other spouse, you should carefully consider whether joint-life coverage is an appropriate choice in light of the possibility of a longer waiting period before withdrawals under the RIE can be made and in light of the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

Under joint-life coverage, after the younger spouse reaches age 63, we will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base by an amount equal to 5% of your Bonus Base if you make no withdrawals during the preceding Contract Year.

Joint-life coverage may not be available on all Contracts.

Cancellation of the RIE

Should you decide that the RIE is no longer appropriate for you, you may cancel the RIE at any time.  Upon cancellation, all benefits and charges under the RIE shall cease. Once cancelled, the RIE cannot be reinstated.

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under "Transfer Privilege," the RIE will be cancelled automatically:

if any Purchase Payment is allocated to an investment option other than a Designated Fund; or
   
if any portion of Account Value maintained in a Designated Fund is transferred into an investment option other than a Designated Fund.

A change of ownership of the Contract may also cancel your RIE.

Death of the Owner Under the RIE with Single-Life Coverage

If you selected single-life coverage, the RIE terminates on the death of any Owner and the Beneficiary may elect to exercise any of the available options under the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract. If your surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your spouse has the additional option of electing to participate in a new RIE rider on the original Contract (assuming that at the time of election the RIE is available to new Owners and your surviving spouse meets certain eligibility requirements).  If the surviving spouse makes such election:

the new Account Value and the new Withdrawal Benefit Base will both be set equal to the Death Benefit amount; and
   
the new RIE Fee will be set by us based on market conditions at the time and may be higher than the current RIE Fee.

Death of the Owner Under the RIE with Joint-Life Coverage

If the surviving spouse on the Death Benefit Date was not the spouse of an Owner on the original Contract’s Issue Date, then this section does not apply, even if joint-life coverage was elected.  In such case, if an Owner dies while participating in the RIE, the provisions of the section titled “Death of the Owner Under the RIE with Single-Life Coverage” will apply.

If you purchased joint-life coverage and one of the Owners dies, the RIE will continue, provided that the surviving spouse, as the sole beneficiary, continues the Contract.  In such case:

the new Account Value will be equal to the Death Benefit;
   
the RIE Fee for the joint-life coverage option will continue for the surviving spouse as it was immediately prior to the death of the Owner;
   
the Withdrawal Benefit Base will remain unchanged until the next Contract Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in Account Value (see "Step-Up Under the RIE");
   
if withdrawals under the RIE have not yet begun, the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will be based on the age the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) on the date of the first withdrawal after the RIE Coverage Date;
   
if withdrawals under the RIE have already begun, the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will not change; and
   
the RIE Bonus Period will continue unchanged from the original contract.

At the death of the surviving spouse, the Contract, including the RIE, will terminate.

If you purchased joint-life coverage and the deceased Owner's surviving spouse does not continue the Contract, your Beneficiary may elect any available option under the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract.

Annuitization Under the RIE

Under the terms of the RIE, if your Account Value is greater than zero on your maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you may elect to:

(1)
surrender your Contract and receive your Cash Surrender Value,
   
(2)
annuitize your Account Value under one of the then currently available Annuity Options, or
   
(3)
annuitize your remaining Account Value as a single-life annuity (or a joint-life annuity, if joint-life coverage was elected at issue and is still eligible) with an annualized annuity payment of not less than your then current Annual Withdrawal Amount.

If you make no election, we will default your choice to option 3.

If your Account Value has been reduced to zero (other than as a result of an "early withdrawal" or an "excess withdrawal"), and your Withdrawal Benefit Base is greater than zero on or before your maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you will receive your full Annual Withdrawal Amount until you die. For a more complete discussion of this, see "Depleting Your Account Value."

Certain Tax Considerations

Certain tax considerations may be important to you in connection with a living benefit rider, such as the RIE. For a discussion of some of these considerations, please refer to "TAX ISSUES UNDER OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS" and "TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefit and Optional Living Benefit Riders."

OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: Income ON DemandSM BENEFIT

The following optional living benefit rider will be available starting May 5, 2008.

On or before the Issue Date, you may elect to participate in an optional living benefit rider known as the Income ON Demand Benefit (the "Income ON Demand Benefit" or "Income ON Demand Rider"). To describe how the Income ON Demand Benefit works, we use the following definitions:

Income ON Demand Coverage Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 59½ at issue, otherwise the first Contract Anniversary following your 59th birthday.
   
Annual Income Amount:
The amount added to your Stored Income Balance on each Contract Anniversary beginning on the Income ON Demand Coverage Date; it is equal to 5% of your Income Benefit Base on the date of crediting.
   
Stored Income Balance:
The amount you may withdraw at any time after age 59½ without reducing the Benefit.
   
Income Benefit Base:
The amount used to calculate your Annual Income Amount and your cost for the Income ON Demand Benefit.
   
You and Your:
The terms "you" and "your" refer to the oldest Owner or the surviving spouse of the oldest Owner, as described under "Death of the Owner Under the Income ON Demand Benefit." In the case of a non-natural Owner, these terms refer to the oldest annuitant.

The Income ON Demand Benefit may not be appropriate for all investors. Before purchasing the Income ON Demand Benefit, you should carefully consider the following:

The Income ON Demand Benefit may be appropriate for investors who:
   
want a steady stream of income for life beginning at age 59½.
want to store income for later years, rather than having to take a specified percentage every year.
can wait until age 59½ to begin receiving that income.
   
The Income ON Demand Benefit may be inappropriate for investors who:
   
anticipate the need for excess withdrawals (i.e., withdrawals in excess of those permitted annually under the terms of the Income ON Demand Benefit) or early withdrawals (i.e., withdrawals prior to age 59½).
want to invest in funds other than a "Designated Fund."
are significantly younger than 59½ on the Issue Date, because the Income ON Demand Benefit does not begin to accrue lifetime benefits until you are age 59½.
are invested in contributory plans, because the Income ON Demand Benefit prohibits any Purchase Payments after the first Contract Anniversary.

You may combine your Income ON Demand Benefit with the optional death benefit rider.  Upon annuitization, Income ON Demand and any elected optional death benefit rider automatically terminate.

You may elect to participate in the Income ON Demand Benefit, provided that:

l
the rider is available for sale both in the state where the Contract is sold, and in the state where the Owner resides;
   
l
neither the oldest Owner nor the oldest Annuitant has attained age 81 on or before the date we receive your application in good order (in the case of a non-natural Owner, the oldest Annuitant has not attained age 81 on or before that date);
   
l
you limit the allocation of your Purchase Payments and Account Value to the investment options, known as "Designated Funds," that we make available with the Income ON Demand Benefit; and
   
l
you do not elect any other optional living benefit rider available under your Contract.

The Income ON Demand Benefit allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount each year, beginning at age 59½, until the death of any Owner, regardless of the investment performance of the Designated Funds, provided that you comply with certain requirements. The amount you can withdraw, in any one year, is based on 5% of your Income Benefit Base. Any amount that you do not withdraw in a given year will be stored in the Stored Income Balance and can be used for later withdrawals. The amount you can withdraw each year can be increased or decreased as described under "Determining Your Stored Income Balance."

In addition, if you make no withdrawals during the first 10 Contract Years, regardless of your age on the Issue Date, we will credit to your Account Value an amount equal to the excess, if any, of your total Purchase Payments over your then Account Value. If you are participating in the Income ON Demand Benefit, you may not make Purchase Payments after the first year following your Issue Date.  After the first Contract Anniversary, any Purchase Payments submitted by an Owner while participating in Income ON Demand Benefit will be treated as “Not in Good Order” and returned to the Owner, unless the Owner instructs us to terminate his participation in the rider.

Determining Your Income Benefit Base

On the Issue Date, we set your Income Benefit Base equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, your Income Benefit Base is:

l
decreased following any withdrawals you take prior to becoming age 59½;
   
l
decreased following any withdrawals you take after becoming age 59½, if such withdrawal is in excess of the Stored Income Balance at the time of the withdrawal;
   
l
increased by any step-ups as described under "Step-Up Under the Income ON Demand Benefit";
   
l
increased to the extent you exercise your one-time option to use any amount of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base, as described under "How the Income ON Demand Benefit Works"; and
   
l
increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date.

Determining Your Stored Income Balance

On the Income ON Demand Coverage Date, your Stored Income Balance will equal your Annual Income Amount (i.e., 5% of your Income Benefit Base on that Date). After the initial Stored Income Balance has been set, your Stored Income Balance:

l
increases by 5% of any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date,
   
l
increases on each Contract Anniversary by the amount of your Annual Income Amount determined on that Anniversary,
   
l
decreases by the amount of any withdrawals you take, and
   
l
decreases by the amount you use in exercising your "one-time" option to increase your Income Benefit Base (described under "How the Income ON Demand Benefit Works").

How the Income ON Demand Benefit Works

Under the terms of the Income ON Demand Benefit, you can take withdrawals up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance at any time, subject to the terms and conditions discussed below. If your Account Value is reduced to zero, as long as your Income Benefit Base is greater than zero, you will receive an amount equal to your Annual Income Amount every year of your life unless you choose to cancel the Rider. Although your Stored Income Balance will begin accumulating on the Income ON Demand Coverage Date, you may not begin withdrawing your Stored Income Balance until you are at least age 59½ without reducing your Income Benefit Base. You can continue to withdraw your Stored Income Balance until your Annuity Commencement Date.

Note that the timing and amount of your withdrawals may significantly decrease your total Income ON Demand Benefit, as described further under "Withdrawals Under the Income ON Demand Benefit" and "Tenth-Year Credit." Note also that investing in any Fund, other than a "Designated Fund," will cancel the Income ON Demand Benefit as described under "Cancellation of the Income ON Demand Benefit."

Your Stored Income Balance can be used in two ways. You can withdraw all or a portion of your Stored Income Balance through partial withdrawals, or you can use all or a portion of your Stored Income Balance to effect a "one-time" increase of your Income Benefit Base.

Withdrawals from your Stored Income Balance can be taken at any time after age 59½ without affecting your Income Benefit Base. If, at any time after age 59½ and prior to your Annuity Commencement Date, you make a withdrawal that does not exceed your Stored Income Balance, your Stored Income Balance will be decreased by the amount withdrawn.

You also have the option to use all or a portion of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base. This option allows you to increase your future Annual Income Amount. This option may be exercised only once and must occur prior to your Annuity Commencement Date and prior to the later of your tenth Contract Anniversary and the Contract Anniversary following your 70th birthday. If you choose to use any portion of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base:

your Stored Income Balance will be decreased by the amount used;
   
the amount of Stored Income Balance used will be added to your Income Benefit Base; and
   
your Annual Income Amount will be reset on your next Contract Anniversary to equal 5% of the then Income Benefit Base.

After you exercise this "one-time" option, your new Annual Income Amount will be added to your Stored Income Balance on each Contract Anniversary, unless and until there is another occurrence (as noted in this section) that changes your Annual Income Amount.

Here is an example of how the Income ON Demand Benefit works.

Assume that you are age 60 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume you elected to participate in the Income ON Demand Benefit. Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore, $5,000 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance.

Assume that, immediately prior to your tenth Contract Anniversary, you decide to use the full amount of your Stored Income Balance ($50,000) to increase your Income Benefit Base. Your Income Benefit Base will be increased to $150,000. Your Annual Income Amount will be $7,500 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $7,500 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance.

Your Annual Income Amount remains at $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $5,000 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance.

Withdrawals Under the Income ON Demand Benefit

     Withdrawals After Age 59½

Starting at age 59½, you may take annual withdrawals up to your Stored Income Balance without affecting your Income ON Demand Benefit. These withdrawals will reduce your Stored Income Balance by the full amount of the withdrawal, but will not change your Income Benefit Base.

Here is an example of a partial withdrawal that does not exceed your Stored Income Balance.

Using the facts of the first example, assume that, immediately prior to your tenth Contract Anniversary, you decide to take a lump sum withdrawal of $30,000 from the $50,000 in your Stored Income Balance, thus reducing your Stored Income Balance to $20,000. Your Income Benefit Base will remain at $100,000. Your Annual Income Amount will remain at $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $5,000 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance.

     Excess Withdrawals

If you take a withdrawal that exceeds your Stored Income Balance (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if higher), your Income Benefit Base will be reset to equal the lesser of:

the Income Benefit Base prior to the withdrawal reduced by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Stored Income Balance (or your yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if higher), and
   
the Account Value after the withdrawal.

Your Annual Income Amount will be recalculated based on the reduced Income Benefit Base. Here is an example of a withdrawal that exceeds your Stored Income Balance, thus reducing future Annual Income Amounts even if the market has performed well.

Using the facts of the first example, assume that, immediately prior to your tenth Contract Anniversary, you decide to take a lump sum payment of $60,000 thus exceeding your Stored Income Balance of $50,000. Assume also that your Account Value immediately prior to the withdrawal is $120,000. Your Income Benefit Base will be reset to the lesser of (a) your old Income Benefit Base reduced by the excess of your withdrawal over the Stored Income Balance [$100,000 – ($60,000 - $50,000) = $90,000)] or (b) your new Account Value after the withdrawal ($120,000 - $60,000 = $60,000) or $60,000. Your new Annual Income Amount will be $3,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $3,000 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance.

Excess withdrawals taken in a down market could even more severely reduce your Income ON Demand Benefit. Here is an example of an excess withdrawal taken after the investment performance of the Designated Funds has reduced your Account Value:

Using the facts of the preceding example, assume that your Account Value immediately prior to the withdrawal is $80,000. Your Income Benefit Base will be reset to equal the lesser of (a) your previous Income Benefit Base reduced by the excess of your withdrawal over the Stored Income Balance [$100,000 – ($60,000 - $50,000) = $90,000)] and (b) your Account Value immediately after the withdrawal ($80,000 - $60,000 = $20,000) or $20,000. Your new Annual Income Amount will be $1,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore, only $1,000 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance.

     Withdrawals Prior to Age 59½ (Early Withdrawals)

All withdrawals taken before age 59½ will be considered "early withdrawals" and the Income Benefit Base will be reset to equal the lesser of:

the Income Benefit Base prior to the withdrawal reduced by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Stored Income Balance (or your yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if higher), and
   
the Account Value after the withdrawal.

Your Annual Income Amount will be recalculated based on the reduced Income Benefit Base.

Early withdrawals could severely reduce (or even exhaust) your Income ON Demand Benefit. Here is an example of an early withdrawal taken after the investment performance of the Designated Funds has reduced your Account Value.

Assume that you are age 54 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate in the Income ON Demand Benefit. Your Income Benefit Base is set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date ($100,000), but benefits under the Income ON Demand Benefit do not begin to accrue until the first Contract Anniversary after your 59th birthday (your Income ON Demand Coverage Date). Assume also that poor investment performance of your underlying funds has reduced your Account Value to $85,000 by the end of your second Contract Year. At that time, you decide to withdraw $5,000, further reducing your Account Value to $80,000. Your Income Benefit Base will be reset to $80,000 which is the lesser of (1) your previous Income Benefit Base reduced by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Stored Income Balance ($100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000) and (2) your Account Value immediately after the withdrawal ($85,000 - $5,000 = $80,000). Assuming you take no additional withdrawals prior to your Income ON Demand Coverage Date, your Annual Income Amount will be $4,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base.)

In addition to reducing your Income ON Demand Benefit, any withdrawal before age 59½ could have adverse tax consequences. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

     Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero as a result of an "excess withdrawal" or an "early withdrawal" (as described above), your Stored Income Balance and your Income Benefit Base will both be reduced to zero. Therefore, your Contract, as well as your Income ON Demand Benefit, will end.

If, on the other hand, your Account Value is reduced to zero through any combination of poor investment performance of the Designated Funds, Contract charges, and withdrawals other than excess or early withdrawals, your Income Benefit Base will not be reduced. Your Contract will therefore end, but the Income ON Demand Benefit will continue.  That is to say, regardless of your age on the day the Account Value is reduced to zero, you will be entitled to receive annual payments. These payments will be equal to 5% of the amount of your Income Benefit Base, as determined on that day and increased (if you choose) by any remaining Stored Income Balance as described below. These payments will begin on the first Contract Anniversary after your Account Value goes to zero and continue for as long as you live. If you have any remaining Stored Income Balance on the day your Account Value is reduced to zero, you will be notified that, before you begin to receive your "annual lifetime payments," you must deplete your Stored Income Balance by:

(a)
taking a lump sum withdrawal of your remaining Stored Income Balance,
   
(b)
using the remaining amount of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base (and thus the amount of your "annual lifetime payments"), if you have not already exercised this one-time option as described under "How the Income ON Demand Benefit Works," or
   
(c)
using a combination of (a) and (b).

You should be aware, however, that a lump sum withdrawal could be subject to certain tax consequences. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Cost of the Income ON Demand Benefit

If you elect the Income ON Demand Benefit Rider, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value ("Income ON Demand Fee"). The Income ON Demand Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter. The Fee will be a percentage of your Income Benefit Base. This percentage rate will equal 0.1625% of your Income Benefit Base on the last day of the Account Quarter. The maximum Income ON Demand Fee you can pay in any one Contract Year is equal to 0.65% of the highest Income ON Demand Benefit Base at any point in that Contract Year.

Your Income ON Demand Fee will not change during a Contract Year, unless you take one of three specific actions:

l
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Contract Year, you will increase your Income Benefit Base and thus your Income ON Demand Fee.
   
l
If you take advantage of the one-time option to use all or a portion of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base and thus your Income ON Demand Fee.
   
l
If you make a withdrawal prior to age 59½ or a withdrawal in excess of your Stored Income Balance, you will decrease your Income Benefit Base and thus your Income ON Demand Fee.

The investment performance of the Designated Funds will not affect your Income ON Demand Fee during a Contract Year. However, as stated under "Step-Up Under the Income ON Demand Benefit," favorable investment performance may cause the Income Benefit Base to increase on a Contract Anniversary. That would also increase your Income ON Demand Fee.

We will continue to deduct the Income ON Demand Fee until you annuitize your Contract, your Account Value reduces to zero, or your Income ON Demand Benefit is cancelled as described under "Cancellation of the Income ON Demand Benefit".

Tenth-Year Credit

If you make no withdrawals during your first ten Contract Years, on your tenth Contract Anniversary, we will credit your Account Value with an amount equal to the excess, if any, of your total Purchase Payments over your then Account Value. Your Income Benefit Base will not change. This tenth-year credit will be allocated to the Designated Fund in which you are invested at the time.

Step-Up Under the Income ON Demand Benefit

Regardless of your age on the Issue Date, on each Contract Anniversary prior to your maximum Annuity Commencement Date, we will automatically step-up your Income Benefit Base, provided that you satisfy certain requirements. First, you must meet eligibility requirements:

l
Your Account Value less your Stored Income Balance must equal no more than $5,000,000. (For purposes of determining the $5,000,000 limit, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to aggregate your Account Value with the account values of all other variable annuity contracts you own issued by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) or its affiliates.)
   
l
Your Account Value less your Stored Income Balance must be greater than your current Income Benefit Base. (If you have not yet reached your Income ON Demand Coverage Date and therefore do not yet have a Stored Income Balance, your Account Value must only be greater than your current Income Benefit Base.)

If you satisfy the eligibility requirements, we then consider whether market conditions have caused us to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the Income ON Demand Fee on newly issued Contracts. If we are no longer issuing Contracts with the Income ON Demand rider then the percentage rate we use to calculate your Income ON Demand Fee will be set based upon current market conditions at that time.

l
If we have not had to increase the percentage rate as described above, the percentage rate we use to calculate your Income ON Demand Fee will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Income Benefit Base.
   
l
If we have had to increase the percentage rate as described above, we offer you the opportunity to step-up at the higher percentage rate. In this case, your written consent is required to accept the higher percentage rate used to calculate your Income ON Demand Fee and step-up your Income ON Demand Benefit. If you do not consent to the step-up and higher percentage, the step-up will not be implemented and all subsequent step-ups under your Income ON Demand Benefit will also be suspended. You may thereafter submit an election form to us, however, in order to consent to the then-applicable percentage rate and thus reactivate subsequent automatic step-ups.

At the time of step-up, the step-up will increase your Income Benefit Base to an amount equal to your Account Value less your Stored Income Balance. After the step-up, your Annual Income Amount will be 5% of your new Income Benefit Base.

Designated Funds

To participate in the Income ON Demand Benefit, all of your Account Value must be invested in a "Designated Fund" at all times during the term of the Income ON Demand Benefit. (The term of the Income ON Demand Benefit is for life, unless your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero or your Income ON Demand Benefit is terminated or cancelled as described under "Cancellation of the Income ON Demand Benefit," "Depleting Your Account Value," and "Annuitization Under the Income ON Demand Benefit.") The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as "Designated Funds" are as follows:

Asset Allocation Models

One of the asset allocation models that qualifies as a Designated Fund is the portfolio model that applies to our "build your portfolio" program. That portfolio model and the "build your portfolio" program are described in "BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO" and in "APPENDIX E -- BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO."

We reserve the right to declare that a particular Fund no longer qualifies as a Designated Fund.  If you are invested in a Designated Fund at the time we declare the Fund no longer to be a Designated Fund, your Account Value can remain in that Fund without canceling your participation in a living benefit. However, any transfers or future Purchase Payments may only be allocated to a Fund that is declared by us to be a Designated Fund at the time of the transaction.  If you are invested in a Fund that has been declared by us to no longer be a Designated Fund, you must first transfer your Account Value from that Fund into a current Designated Fund if you want to make subsequent Purchase Payments. (Note that subsequent Purchase Payments can only be made during the first Contract Year.) We also reserve the right to close Funds to new Contracts. We will, however, revise the prospectus to give notice to prospective investors of the closing of any Fund.  If a Designated Fund is closed to new Contracts, any current Account Value may remain in that Fund and future transfers and Purchase Payments to that Fund are permissible, as long as the Fund is still declared by us to be a Designated Fund.

Cancellation of the Income ON Demand Benefit

Should you decide that the Income ON Demand Benefit is no longer appropriate for you, you may cancel the Income ON Demand Benefit at any time. Upon cancellation, all benefits and charges under the Income ON Demand Rider shall cease. Once cancelled, the Rider cannot be reinstated.

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under "Transfer Privilege," the Income ON Demand Rider will be cancelled automatically:

if any Purchase Payment is allocated to an investment option other than a Designated Fund; or
   
if any portion of Account Value maintained in a Designated Fund is transferred into an investment option other than a Designated Fund.

A change of ownership of the Contract may also cancel the Benefit.

Death of the Owner Under the Income ON Demand Benefit

The Income ON Demand Rider terminates on the death of any Owner and the Beneficiary may elect to exercise any of the available options under the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract. Alternately, the Beneficiary may elect to receive the Stored Income Balance. If your surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your spouse has the additional option of electing to participate in a new Income ON Demand Benefit Rider on the original Contract (assuming that, at the time of such election, the Income ON Demand Benefit is available to new Owners and your surviving spouse meets certain eligibility requirements). If the surviving spouse makes such election:

the new Account Value will be the greater of the Stored Income Balance on the original Contract or the Death Benefit;
   
the new Income ON Demand Fee will be set by us based on market conditions at the time and may be higher than the current Income ON Demand Fee;
   
the new Income Benefit Base will be equal to the Account Value after any Death Benefit has been credited; and
   
the new Stored Income Balance will be reset to zero.

Annuitization Under the Income ON Demand Benefit

Under the terms of the Income ON Demand Benefit, if your Account Value is greater than zero on your maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you may elect to:

(1)
surrender your Contract and receive your Cash Surrender Value (or your Stored Income Balance, if greater),
   
(2)
annuitize your Account Value under one of the then currently available Annuity Options, or
   
(3)
(a) receive any remaining Stored Income Balance in a single sum and (b) annuitize your remaining Account Value as a single-life annuity with an annualized annuity payment of not less than 5% of your then current Income Benefit Base.

If you make no election, we will default your choice to option 3.

If your Account Value has been reduced to zero (other than as a result of an "early withdrawal" or an "excess withdrawal"), and your Income Benefit Base is greater than zero on or before your maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you will receive your full Annual Income Amount each year until you die. For a more complete discussion of this, see "Depleting Your Account Value."

Certain Tax Considerations

Certain tax considerations may be important to you in connection with a living benefit rider, such as Income ON Demand. For a discussion of some of these considerations, please refer to "TAX ISSUES UNDER OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS" and "TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefit and Optional Living Benefit Riders."

OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDER: RETIREMENT ASSET PROTECTORSM

The following optional living benefit rider will be available starting May 5, 2008.

On or before the Issue Date, you may elect to participate in an optional living benefit rider known as the Retirement Asset Protector Rider. To describe how the Retirement Asset Protector Rider works, we use the following definitions:

Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base:
An amount equal to the sum of all Purchase Payments made during the first year following your Issue Date, decreased by any partial withdrawals taken and increased by any step-ups as described under "Step-Up Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider."
   
GMAB Maturity Date:
The date when the Retirement Asset Protector Rider matures. If you are younger than 80 on the Issue Date, your GMAB Maturity Date is the later of your 10th Contract Anniversary or 10 years from the date of your most recent step-up. (See "Step-Up Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider.") If you are 80 on the Issue Date, your GMAB Maturity Date is your maximum Annuity Commencement Date.
   
You and Your:
Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, the terms "you" and "your" refer to the oldest Owner or the surviving spouse of the oldest Owner as described under "Death of the Owner Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider." In the case of a non-natural Owner, these terms refer to the oldest annuitant.

The Retirement Asset Protector Rider is designed for long-term investors. It provides them with the security of knowing that their investments will be protected during down markets or, if that guarantee is not needed, that their Retirement Asset Protector Fees will be refunded. The Retirement Asset Protector Rider guarantees a return of the greater of:

l
the excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value or
l
your total fees paid for the Retirement Asset Protector Rider ("Retirement Asset Protector Fees"),

regardless of the investment performance of the Designated Funds, provided that you have reached the GMAB Maturity Date.

The Retirement Asset Protector Rider may be appropriate for investors who:
   
want to protect their principal and who can afford to wait at least 10 years before withdrawing from their investment.
want a refund of their fees if the guarantee is not needed.
 
The Retirement Asset Protector Rider may be inappropriate for investors who:
   
want lifetime income guarantees.
want to invest in funds other than a "Designated Fund."
are invested in contributory plans, because the Retirement Asset Protector Benefit prohibits any Purchase Payments after the first Contract Anniversary.

You may elect to participate in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, if:

l
the rider is available for sale both in the state where the Contract is sold, and in the state where the Owner resides;
   
l
neither the oldest Owner nor the oldest Annuitant has attained age 81 on or before the date we receive your application in good order (in the case of a non-natural Owner, the oldest Annuitant has not reached age 81 on or before that date);
   
l
you limit the allocation of your Purchase Payments and Account Value to the investment options, known as "Designated Funds," that we make available with the Retirement Asset Protector Rider; and
   
l
you do not elect any other optional living benefit rider available under your Contract.

If you are participating in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, you may not make Purchase Payments after the first year following your Issue Date.

Cost of the Retirement Asset Protector Rider

If you elect the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value ("Retirement Asset Protector Fee"). The Retirement Asset Protector Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter. The Fee will be a percentage of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base. This percentage rate will equal 0.0875% of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base on the last day of the Account Quarter. The maximum Retirement Asset Protector Fee you can pay in any one Contract Year is equal to 0.35% of the highest Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base at any point in that Contract Year.

Your Retirement Asset Protector Fee will not change, unless you take one of these specific actions:

l
If you made an additional Purchase Payment during your first Contract Year, you will increase your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base and thus your Retirement Asset Protector Fee.
   
l
If you make a partial withdrawal, you will decrease your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base and thus your Retirement Asset Protector Fee.
   
l
If you elect to "step-up" your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base, your Retirement Asset Protector Fee will increase.

The investment performance of the Designated Funds will not affect your Retirement Asset Protector Fee unless you elect a step-up of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base.

We will continue to deduct the Retirement Asset Protector Fee until:

l
you annuitize your Contract;
   
l
the Retirement Asset Protector Rider matures on the GMAB Maturity Date;
   
l
your Retirement Asset Protector Rider is cancelled as described under "Cancellation of the Retirement Asset Protector Rider;" or
   
l
your Account Value is reduced to zero.

How the Retirement Asset Protector Rider Works

On the GMAB Maturity Date, we will credit your Account Value with an amount equal to the greater of (a) any excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value after adjusting for any Contract charges and (b) the total amount of Retirement Asset Protector Fees paid between the Issue Date and the GMAB Maturity Date. To determine the value of (b), we multiply:

l
the sum of the value of the Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base on the last day of each Account Quarter since the Issue Date times
   
l
one quarter of the annual Retirement Asset Protector Fee (0.35% ÷ 4).

The greater of the two amounts will be allocated to the Designated Fund in which you are invested at that time. Here is an example of how we calculate benefits under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider:

l
Assume that you purchased a Contract on January 2, 2009 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and you selected the Retirement Asset Protector Rider. Your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base equals your Purchase Payment amount of $100,000.
 
l
Assume you make an additional Purchase Payment of $50,000 on February 2, 2009, thus increasing your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base to $150,000.
 
l
Assume you make no withdrawals or additional Purchase Payments prior to the GMAB Maturity Date on January 2, 2019.
 
l
Assume that, because of poor investment performance, your Account Value on January 2, 2019 is $140,000. The excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value is $10,000 ($150,000 - $140,000). The total amount of Retirement Asset Protector Fees paid is equal to the sum of the value of the Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Bases on the last day of each Account Quarter since the Inception Date ($150,000 x 40) times one quarter of the annual Retirement Asset Protector Fee (0.35% ÷ 4). In this case, the total amount of rider fees paid is $5,250. Therefore, we will credit $10,000 to your Account Value.
 
l
Assume instead that, because of better investment performance, your Account Value on January 2, 2019, is $155,000. Because your Account Value is greater than your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base, your Account Value will be credited with the total amount of Retirement Asset Protector Fees paid. In this case, the amount will be $5,250.

Withdrawals Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider

All withdrawals you take, including any Required Minimum Distribution Amounts, will reduce the dollar value of the Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base proportionally to the amount withdrawn. For example, after a partial withdrawal, the new Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base will equal:

Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base immediately before partial withdrawal
X
Account Value immediately after partial withdrawal
Account Value immediately before partial withdrawal

Taking withdrawals may reduce the value of your Retirement Asset Protector Rider by an amount greater than the amount of the withdrawal. Here is an example of how we handle withdrawals under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider:

l
Assume that you purchased a Contract on January 2, 2009 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and you selected the Retirement Asset Protector Rider. Your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base equals your Purchase Payment amount of $100,000.
 
l
Assume that, on March 10, 2011, your Account Value is $80,000. Assume further that you take a withdrawal of $10,000 on that date, thus reducing your Account Value to $70,000. Your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base is reduced proportionally to the amount withdrawn. Therefore your new Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base is $100,000 x ($70,000 ÷ $80,000), or $87,500.
 
l
Assume you make no additional withdrawals prior to the GMAB Maturity Date on January 2, 2019.
 
l
Assume that, because of investment performance, your Account Value on January 2, 2019 is $80,000. The excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value is $7,500 ($87,500 - $80,000). The total amount of Retirement Asset Protector Fees paid is equal to the sum of the value of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Bases on the last day of each Account Quarter since the Issue Date [($100,000 x 8) + ($87,500 x 32)] times one quarter of your annual Retirement Asset Protector Fee (0.35% ÷ 4). In this case, the total amount of rider fees paid is $3,150. Therefore, we will credit $7,500 to your Account Value.

Step-Up Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider

On or after your first Contract Anniversary, you may elect to increase your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base to your then current Account Value. The step-up election may be made on any day on or after your first Contract Anniversary. (We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to require step-up elections to occur only on Account Anniversaries.)

If you are participating in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, on the day we receive your step-up election notice in good order (the "Step-Up Date"), we will increase your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base to an amount equal to your Account Value if eligible. If you elect to step-up, at least 1 full year from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up. You can only elect to step-up if:

l
your current Account Value is greater than the current Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base, and
   
l
your Account Value is $5,000,000 or less on your Step-Up Date.

For purposes of determining the $5,000,000 limit, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to aggregate your Account Value with the account values of all other variable annuity contracts you own that have been issued by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) or its affiliates.

Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, your Step-Up Date must be at least 10 years prior to your maximum Annuity Commencement Date. If you have selected an Annuity Commencement Date that is prior to the maximum Annuity Commencement Date but is less than 10 years after your Step-Up Date, then we will automatically extend your Annuity Commencement Date to equal your GMAB Maturity Date.

Without a step-up, your benefit under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider will "mature" on your 10th Contract Anniversary. If you elect to step-up your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base, your benefit under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider will mature 10 years from the most recent Step-Up Date. In either case, on the day your Retirement Asset Protector Rider matures (the "GMAB Maturity Date"), we will credit the greater of:

l
any excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value, or
   
l
the total amount of fees you paid for the Retirement Asset Protector Rider.

l
Assume that you purchased a Contract on January 2, 2009 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and you selected the Retirement Asset Protector Rider. Assume further that your Retirement Asset Protector Fees remain constant until the GMAB Maturity Date. Your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base equals your Purchase Payment amount of $100,000.
 
l
Assume that, on January 2, 2010, your Account Value is $118,000. Because your Account Value is greater than your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base, you elect to step-up to a new ten-year period with a new Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base of $118,000. Your new GMAB Maturity Date will be January 2, 2020.
 
l
Assume you make no withdrawals prior to the GMAB Maturity Date on January 2, 2020.
 
l
Assume that your Account Value on January 2, 2020 is $112,000. The excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value is $6,000 ($118,000 - $112,000). The total amount of Retirement Asset Protector Fees paid is equal to the sum of the value of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Bases on the last day of each Account Quarter since the Issue Date [($100,000 x 4) + ($118,000 x 40)] times one quarter of your annual Retirement Asset Protector Fee (0.35% ÷ 4). In this case, the total amount of rider fees paid is $4,480. Therefore, we will credit $6,000 to your Account Value.

We reserve the right to discontinue offering the step-up provision of the Retirement Asset Protector Rider if we determine that, based upon market conditions at the time of the step-up, we can no longer offer the Retirement Asset Protector Rider to new Contracts at the current percentage rate used to calculate the Retirement Asset Protector Fee as set forth under "Cost of the Retirement Asset Protector Rider." In that case, we will send notification that the step-up provision under your Contract has been discontinued unless you elect to begin a new step-up provision at the higher percentage rate. Your written consent is required to accept the higher percentage rate and continue to step-up.

Renewal of the Retirement Asset Protector Rider

If you elect to participate in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider and you remain in the Rider until it matures, you may elect to renew your participation in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, provided that we are still offering the Retirement Asset Protector Rider to new Owners. Upon renewal, the annual charge for participation in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider will be extended under the terms and conditions applicable to new Owners at that time. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to stop offering the Retirement Asset Protector Rider to new Owners, in which case renewals will no longer be available.

Designated Funds

To participate in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, all of your Account Value must be invested in a "Designated Fund" at all times during the term of the GMAB Maturity Date. Your application package contains a list of the only Funds, Guarantee Period dollar cost averaging programs, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as "Designated Funds." The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as "Designated Funds" are as follows:

Asset Allocation Models
Funds
Conservative Asset Allocation
Fidelity VIP Freedom 2010 Portfolio Service - Class 2
Conservative Moderate Asset Allocation
Fidelity VIP Freedom 2015 Portfolio Service - Class 2
Moderate Asset Allocation
Fidelity VIP Freedom 2020 Portfolio Service - Class 2
Moderate Aggressive Asset Allocation
Fidelity VIP Balanced Portfolio - Service Class 2

One of the asset allocation models that qualifies as a Designated Fund is the portfolio model that applies to our "build your portfolio" program. That portfolio model and the "build your portfolio" program are described in "BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO" and in "APPENDIX E -- BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO."

We reserve the right to declare that a particular Fund no longer qualifies as a Designated Fund.  If you are invested in a Designated Fund at the time we declare the Fund no longer to be a Designated Fund, your Account Value can remain in that Fund without canceling your participation in a living benefit. However, any transfers or future Purchase Payments may only be allocated to a Fund that is declared by us to be a Designated Fund at the time of the transaction.  If you are invested in a Fund that has been declared by us to no longer be a Designated Fund, you must first transfer your Account Value from that Fund into a current Designated Fund if you want to make subsequent Purchase Payments. (Note that subsequent Purchase Payments can only be made during the first Contract Year.) We also reserve the right to close Funds to new Contracts. We will, however, revise the prospectus to give notice to prospective investors of the closing of any Fund.  If a Designated Fund is closed to new Contracts, any current Account Value may remain in that Fund and future transfers and Purchase Payments to that Fund are permissible, as long as the Fund is still declared by us to be a Designated Fund.

Cancellation of the Retirement Asset Protector Rider

You may cancel the Retirement Asset Protector Rider at any time. Upon cancellation, all benefits and charges under the Rider shall cease.  Once cancelled, the Rider cannot be reinstated.

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under "Transfer Privilege," the Retirement Asset Protector Rider will be cancelled automatically:

if any Purchase Payment is allocated to an investment option other than a Designated Fund; or
   
if any portion of Account Value maintained in a Designated Fund is transferred into any investment option other than a Designated Fund.

A change of ownership of the Contract may also cancel the Benefit.

Death of the Owner Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider

If the Owner dies while participating in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, all benefits and charges under the Rider will automatically terminate when we receive Due Proof of Death, unless the surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract. The surviving spouse has two options under the Contract (assuming that, at the time of such election, the rider is available to new Owners and the surviving spouse meets certain eligibility requirements).

(1)
The spouse can automatically continue in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider even though the Account Value may have been enhanced under the provisions of the death benefit. (See "Spousal Continuance" under "DEATH BENEFIT.")  The GMAB Maturity Date does not change.
   
(2)
The surviving spouse can elect to participate in a new Retirement Asset Protector Rider on the original Contract. The Retirement Asset Protector Fee may be higher than your current fee. The Retirement Asset Protector Fee will be set by us based upon market conditions at the time of election. The Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base will be equal to the Account Value after the death benefit has been credited. The new GMAB Maturity Date will be 10 years after the Retirement Asset Protector Rider has been re-elected.

Certain Tax Considerations

Certain tax considerations may be important to you in connection with a living benefit rider, such as Retirement Asset Protector. For a discussion of some of these considerations, please refer to "TAX ISSUES UNDER OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS" and "TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefit and Optional Living Benefit Riders."

BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO

Among the choices of "Designated Funds" is a selection of funds ("portfolio model") that you design yourself using certain broad guidelines that we provide. To "build your portfolio," you pick funds from the asset classes available at that time. Altogether you must choose at least three funds but no more than 18 funds for your portfolio model. The amount you may invest in each asset class is determined by a percentage range that we provide for each asset class. The sum of the percentages you invest in the asset classes altogether must total 100%. A chart showing the Funds available in each asset class and the percentage range assigned to each asset class is included in Appendix E.

You may transfer funds within the asset classes as long as your allocations remain within the percentage ranges we have established, and you adhere to the transfer provisions of your Contract. (See "Transfer Privilege," Short-Term Trading," and "Funds' Shareholder Trading Policies.") Withdrawals out of your portfolio model will be taken pro-rata from each of your selected Funds. Any additional Purchase Payments will be allocated proportionally to your current Fund selection. At any time you can change your Fund selection by providing new allocation instructions. (Under the terms of the living benefit riders, however, there are certain limits on the times when you can make additional Purchase Payments.) Your new instructions will change your existing allocations accordingly. Your portfolio will be rebalanced quarterly to maintain your percentage allocations in line with the performance of the Funds over the prior quarter.

If at any time, a fund is closed to new business, no new payments or transfers into the fund will be permitted. However, portfolio rebalancing of the fund will continue. To make a payment into your portfolio model after a fund within the model has been closed, you must redesign your portfolio model without the closed fund. Your entire Account Value will then be reallocated to your new portfolio model.

TAX ISSUES UNDER OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS

If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, it is possible that the election of an optional living benefit rider might increase the taxable portion of any withdrawal you make from the Contract.

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, the retirement plan governing that Qualified Contract may be subject to certain Required Minimum Distribution ("RMD") provisions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and IRS regulations (collectively, the "Federal Tax Laws"). These RMD provisions require that a yearly amount be distributed from the retirement plan beginning generally in the calendar year in which you attain age 70½. Your failure to withdraw your yearly RMD amount from your retirement plan could result in adverse tax treatment. Because for certain retirement plans we do not know what assets are held by the plan, we assume for all plans that the Qualified Contract is the only asset and we determine a yearly RMD amount for only this Contract ("Yearly RMD Amount").

Please refer to "Tax Considerations - Impact of Optional Death Benefit and Optional Living Benefit Riders" for more information regarding these and other tax issues that you should consider before electing to participate in an optional living benefit rider.

Tax Issues Under the Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefit

When you elect to participate in the WB Plan, we will inform you that you may withdraw annual amounts up to your Yearly RMD Amount without reducing your guaranteed withdrawal benefit. To assist you in complying with the RMD requirements, each year, we will notify you in early January of your calculated Yearly RMD Amount and inform you that you may withdraw annual amounts up to your Yearly RMD Amount without reducing your guaranteed withdrawal benefit.

In the event that your Yearly RMD Amount attributable to your Contract is greater than the maximum withdrawal amount permitted each year under the WB Plan, we are currently waiving withdrawal provisions under Secured Returns for Life Plus as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract's Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in the WB Plan, we reduce your Account Value and your RGLB amount, dollar for dollar, by the amount of the withdrawal. We will not, however, penalize you if the current Federal Tax Laws require you to withdraw from your Contract an amount greater than either your Maximum WB Amount, or your Maximum WB for Life Amount. In other words, we will not reduce your GLB Base, Lifetime Income Base, or Bonus Base, if a Yearly RMD Amount exceeds either your Maximum WB Amount or your Maximum WB for Life Amount, provided that:

you withdraw your Qualified Contract's first Yearly RMD Amount in the calendar year you attain age 70½ rather than postponing the withdrawal of that Amount until the first quarter of the next calendar year, and
   
you do not make any withdrawal from your Qualified Contract that would result in you receiving, in any Contract Year, more than one calendar year's Yearly RMD Amount.

If there is any change to the current Code or IRS rules governing the timing or determination of RMD amounts (including, but not limited to, amendments to the current IRS regulations or the issuance of IRS guidance), then we reserve the right to reduce GLB Base, Lifetime Income Base, Bonus Base, or all of these amounts, per the terms of the rider regarding excess withdrawals, when a Yearly RMD Amount withdrawn from your Contract exceeds either your Maximum WB Amount or your Maximum WB for Life Amount. .") Notice will be given to Contract Owners before we exercise this right.

If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract's Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in the AB Plan, we reduce your Account Value by the amount of the withdrawal and your GLB amount, Bonus Base and any accrued bonus amounts proportionally (see "Withdrawals Under the Optional Living Benefit Rider").

Tax Issues Under the Retirement Income Escalator Benefit

When you elect to participate in the Retirement Income Escalator Benefit, we will inform you that you may withdraw annual amounts up to your Yearly RMD Amount without reducing your guaranteed withdrawal benefit. To assist you in complying with the RMD requirements, each year, we will notify you in early January of your calculated Yearly RMD Amount and inform you that you may withdraw annual amounts up to your Yearly RMD Amount without reducing your guaranteed withdrawal benefit.

In the event that your Yearly RMD Amount attributable to your Contract is greater than the maximum withdrawal amount permitted each year under the RIE Benefit, we are currently waiving withdrawal provisions as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract's Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in the RIE Benefit, we reduce your Account Value, dollar for dollar, for that current year by the amount of the withdrawal. In addition, for that year only, your Annual Withdrawal Amount under the RIE Benefit will be reduced, dollar for dollar, by the amount of the withdrawal. We will not, however, penalize you if the current Federal Tax Laws require you to withdraw from your Contract an amount greater than your Annual Withdrawal Amount. In other words, we will not reduce your Annual Withdrawal Amount for future years (or your Withdrawal Benefit Base or Bonus Base), if a Yearly RMD Amount exceeds your Annual Withdrawal Amount, provided that:

you withdraw your Qualified Contract's first Yearly RMD Amount in the calendar year you attain age 70½ rather than postponing the withdrawal of that Amount until the first quarter of the next calendar year, and
   
you do not make any withdrawal from your Qualified Contract that would result in you receiving, in any Contract Year, more than one calendar year's Yearly RMD Amount.

If there is any change to the current Code or IRS rules governing the timing or determination of RMD amounts (including, but not limited to, amendments to the current IRS regulations or the issuance of IRS guidance), then we reserve the right to reduce the Annual Withdrawal Amount, Withdrawal Benefit Base or Bonus Base per the terms of the rider regarding excess withdrawals, when a Yearly RMD Amount withdrawn from your Contract exceeds your Annual Withdrawal Amount. (See "Withdrawals under the RIE.") Notice will be given to Contract Owners before we exercise this right.

Tax Issues Under the Income ON Demand Benefit

When you elect to participate in the Income ON Demand Benefit, you may withdraw annual amounts up to the Yearly RMD Amount without affecting your Income ON Demand Benefit, subject to the conditions stated below. In the event that your Yearly RMD Amount attributable to your Contract is greater than your Stored Income Balance, we are currently waiving the withdrawal provisions under the Income ON Demand Benefit as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract's Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in the Income ON Demand Benefit, we reduce your Account Value and your Stored Income Balance, dollar for dollar, by the amount of the withdrawal to a value not less than zero. We will not, however, penalize you if the current Federal Tax Laws require you to withdraw from your Contract an amount greater than your Stored Income Balance. In other words, if a Yearly RMD Amount exceeds your Stored Income Balance, we will reduce your Stored Income Balance, but we will not reduce your Income Benefit Base, provided that:

you withdraw your Qualified Contract's first Yearly RMD Amount in the calendar year you attain age 70½ rather than postponing the withdrawal of that Amount until the first quarter of the next calendar year, and
   
you do not make any withdrawal from your Qualified Contract that would result in you receiving, in any Contract Year, more than one calendar year's Yearly RMD Amount.

If there is any change to the current Code or IRS rules governing the timing or determination of RMD Amounts (including, but not limited to, amendments to the current IRS regulations or the issuance of IRS guidance), we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reduce your Stored Income Balance and your Income Benefit Base, or both of these amounts, per the terms of the Income ON Demand Rider regarding excess withdrawals (see "Withdrawals Under the Income ON Demand Benefit"), when a Yearly RMD Amount withdrawn from your Contract exceeds your Stored Income Balance. .") Notice will be given to Contract Owners before we exercise this right.

Tax Issues Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider

If you withdraw all or a portion of your retirement plan's Yearly RMD Amount from the your Qualified Contract while participating in the Retirement Asset Protector Rider, we reduce your Account Value by the amount of the withdrawal and your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base proportionally (see "Withdrawals Under the Retirement Asset Protector Rider").

DEATH BENEFIT

If the Owner dies during the Accumulation Phase, we may pay a death benefit to the designated Beneficiary(ies), using the payment method elected (a single cash payment or one of our Annuity Options). If the Beneficiary is not living on the date of death of the Owner, we may pay the death benefit to the surviving Owner, if any, or, if there is no Owner, in one sum to your estate. We do not pay a death benefit if the Owner dies during the Income Phase. However, the Beneficiary will receive any annuity payments provided under an Annuity Option that is in effect. If the Contract names more than one Owner, we will pay the death benefit upon the first death of such Owners.

Amount of Death Benefit

To calculate the amount of the death benefit, we use a "Death Benefit Date." The Death Benefit Date is the date we receive proof of the death of the Owner in an acceptable form ("Due Proof of Death") if you have elected a death benefit payment method before the death of the Owner and it remains in effect. Otherwise, the Death Benefit Date is the later of the date we receive Due Proof of Death or the date we receive the Beneficiary's election of either payment method or, if the Beneficiary is your spouse, Contract continuation. If we do not receive the Beneficiary's election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, we reserve the right to provide a lump sum to your Beneficiary.

The amount of the death benefit is determined as of the Death Benefit Date.

The Basic Death Benefit

In general, the death benefit will be the greater of the following amounts:

(1)
your Account Value for the Valuation Period during which the Death Benefit Date occurs; and
   
(2)
your total Adjusted Purchase Payments (Purchase Payments x (Account Value after withdrawal ÷ Account Value before withdrawal)) as of the Death Benefit Date. See "Calculating the Death Benefit." Because of the way that Adjusted Purchase Payments are computed, a withdrawal may cause the basic death benefit to decrease by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

For examples of how to calculate this basic death benefit, see Appendix B.

Optional Death Benefit Rider

You may enhance the "basic death benefit" by electing an optional death benefit rider known as the Maximum Anniversary Account Value Rider ("MAV"). You must make your election on or before the Issue Date. You will pay a charge for the optional death benefit rider. (For a description of the charge, see "Charges for Optional Benefit Riders.") The rider is available only if you are younger than 80 on the Open Date. The optional death benefit election may not be changed after the Issue Date. The death benefit under the optional death benefit rider will be adjusted for all partial withdrawals as described in the Prospectus under the heading "Calculating the Death Benefit."

Under the MAV rider, the death benefit will be the greater of:

l
the amount payable under the basic death benefit above, or
   
l
your Highest Account Value on any Contract Anniversary before the Owner's 81st birthday, adjusted for any subsequent Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals made between that Contract Anniversary and the Death Benefit Date.

In determining the Highest Account Value, on the second and each subsequent Contract Anniversary, the current Account Value is compared to the previous Highest Account Value, adjusted for any Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals made during the Contract Year ending on that Contract Anniversary. If the current Account Value exceeds the adjusted Highest Account Value, the current Account Value will become the new Highest Anniversary Account Value.

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, required minimum distributions under the Internal Revenue Code may affect the value of this optional Benefit to you.  Please refer to "Impact of Optional Death Benefit and Optional Living Benefit Riders" under "TAX CONSIDERATIONS" for more information regarding tax issues that you should consider before electing this optional Benefit.

Spousal Continuance

If you are the Owner and your spouse is the sole Beneficiary, upon your death your spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the Owner, rather than receive the death benefit amount. In that case, we will not pay a death benefit, but the Contract's Account Value will be equal to your Contract's death benefit amount, as defined under the "Basic Death Benefit" or the optional death benefit rider you have selected. All Contract provisions, including the optional death benefit rider you have selected (subject to the optional death benefit rider age restriction), will continue as if your surviving spouse had purchased the Contract on the Death Benefit Date with a deposit equal to the death benefit amount. For purposes of calculating death benefits and expenses from that date forward, your surviving spouse's age on the original effective date of the Contract will be used. Upon surrender or annuitization, this step-up to the surviving spouse will not be treated as premium, but will be treated as income.

Calculating the Death Benefit

In calculating the death benefit amount payable under option (2) of the "Basic Death Benefit" or under the optional death benefit rider, any partial withdrawals will reduce the death benefit amount to an amount equal to the death benefit amount immediately before the withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of the Account Value immediately after the withdrawal to the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal. Because of the way these adjustments are computed, a withdrawal may cause the basic death benefit to decrease by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

If the death benefit is the amount payable under option (2) of the "Basic Death Benefit" or under the optional death benefit rider, your Account Value may be increased by the excess, if any, of that amount over option (1) of the "Basic Death Benefit." Any such increase will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts in proportion to your Account Value in those Sub-Accounts on the Death Benefit Date. Such increase will be made only if the Beneficiary elects to annuitize, elects to defer annuitization, or elects to continue the Contract. Also, any portion of this new Account Value attributed to the Fixed Account will be transferred to the Money Market Sub-Account.

Method of Paying Death Benefit

The death benefit may be paid in a single cash payment or as an annuity (either fixed, variable or a combination), under one or more of our Annuity Options. We describe the Annuity Options in this Prospectus under "The Income Phase -- Annuity Provisions."

During the Accumulation Phase, you may elect the method of payment for the death benefit. These elections are made by sending us, at our Annuity Service Address, a completed election form, which we will provide. If no such election is in effect on the date of your death, the Beneficiary may elect either a single cash payment or an annuity. If the Beneficiary is your spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract. This election is made by sending us a letter of instruction. If we do not receive the Beneficiary's election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, the Beneficiary shall be deemed to have elected to defer receipt of payment under any death benefit option until a written election is submitted to the Company or a distribution is required by law.

If we pay the death benefit in the form of an Annuity Option, the Beneficiary becomes the Annuitant/Payee under the terms of that Annuity Option.

Non-Qualified Contracts

If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, special distribution rules apply to the payment of the death benefit. The amount of the death benefit must be distributed either (1) as a lump sum within 5 years after your death, or (2) if in the form of an annuity, over a period not greater than the life or expected life of the "designated beneficiary" within the meaning of Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, with payments beginning no later than one year after your death.

The person you have named as Beneficiary under your Contract, if any, will be the "designated beneficiary." If the named Beneficiary is not living and no contingent beneficiary has been named, the surviving Owner, if any, or the estate of the deceased Owner automatically becomes the designated beneficiary.

If the designated beneficiary is your surviving spouse, your spouse may continue the Contract in his or her own name as Owner. To make this election, your spouse must give us written notification within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death. The special distribution rules will then apply on the death of your spouse. To understand what happens when your spouse continues the Contract, see "Spousal Continuance."

During the Income Phase, if the Annuitant dies, the remaining value of the Annuity Option in place must be distributed at least as rapidly as the method of distribution under that option.

If the Owner is not a natural person, these distribution rules apply upon the death or removal of any Annuitant.

Payments made in contravention of these special rules would adversely affect the treatment of the Contracts as annuity contracts under the Internal Revenue Code. Neither you nor the Beneficiary may exercise rights that would have that effect.

Selection and Change of Beneficiary

You select your Beneficiary in your Application. You may change your Beneficiary at any time by sending us written notice on our required form, unless you previously made an irrevocable Beneficiary designation. A new Beneficiary designation is not effective until we record the change.

Payment of Death Benefit

Payment of the death benefit in cash will be made within 7 days of the Death Benefit Date, except if we are permitted to defer payment in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. If an Annuity Option is elected, the Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the second calendar month following the Death Benefit Date, and your Account will remain in effect until the Annuity Commencement Date.

THE INCOME PHASE - ANNUITY PROVISIONS

During the Income Phase, we make regular monthly annuity payments to the Annuitant.

The Income Phase of your Contract begins with the Annuity Commencement Date. On that date, we apply your Account Value, adjusted as described under the Annuity Option(s) you have selected, and we make the first annuity payment.

Once the Income Phase begins, no lump sum settlement option or cash withdrawals are permitted, except pursuant to Annuity Option D, Monthly Payments for a Specified Period Certain, as described under "Annuity Options," and you cannot change the Annuity Option selected. (Also, a Beneficiary receiving payments after the Annuitant's death under Option B, Life Annuity with 60, 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain, may elect to receive the discounted value of the remaining payments in a single sum, as discussed under "Annuity Options.") You may request a full withdrawal before the Annuity Commencement Date, which will be subject to all charges applicable on withdrawals (see "Withdrawals").

Selection of Annuitant(s)

You select the Annuitant in your Application. The Annuitant is the person who receives annuity payments during the Income Phase and on whose life these payments are based. In your Contract, the Annuity Options refer to the Annuitant as the "Payee." If you name someone other than yourself as Annuitant and the Annuitant dies before the Income Phase, you become the Annuitant.

When an Annuity Option has been selected as the method of paying the death benefit, the Beneficiary is the Payee of the annuity payments.

Selection of the Annuity Commencement Date

You select the Annuity Commencement Date in your Application. The following restrictions apply to the date you may select:

l
The earliest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the second month following your Issue Date.
   
l
The latest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the later of (a) 10 years from the Issue Date or (b) the first day of the month following the Annuitant's 90th birthday ("maximum Annuity Commencement Date"). If there is a Co-Annuitant, the Annuity Commencement Date applies to the younger of the Annuitant and Co-Annuitant.
   
l
The Annuity Commencement Date must always be the first day of a calendar month.

You may change the Annuity Commencement Date by sending us written notice, in a form acceptable to us, with the following additional limitations:

l
We must receive your notice, in good order, at least 30 days before the current Annuity Commencement Date.
   
l
The new Annuity Commencement Date must be at least 30 days after we receive the notice.

There may be other restrictions on your selection of the Annuity Commencement Date imposed by your retirement plan or applicable law. In most situations, current law requires that for a Qualified Contract, certain minimum distributions must commence no later than April 1 following the year the Annuitant reaches age 70½ (or, for Qualified Contracts other than IRAs, no later than April 1 following the year the Annuitant retires, if later than the year the Annuitant reaches age 70½).

Annuity Options

We offer the following Annuity Options for payments during the Income Phase. Each Annuity Option may be selected for a Variable Annuity, a Fixed Annuity, or a combination of both. We may also agree to other settlement options, at our discretion.

      Annuity Option A - Life Annuity

We provide monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Annuity payments stop when the Annuitant dies. There is no provision for continuation of any payments to a Beneficiary.

     Annuity Option B - Life Annuity with 60, 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain

We make monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. In addition, we guarantee that the Beneficiary will receive monthly payments for the remainder of the period certain, if the Annuitant dies during that period. The election of a longer period results in smaller monthly payments. If no Beneficiary is designated, we pay the discounted value of the remaining payments in one sum to the Annuitant's estate. The Beneficiary may also elect to receive the discounted value of the remaining payments in one sum. The discount rate for a Variable Annuity will be the assumed interest rate in effect; the discount rate for a Fixed Annuity will be based on the interest rate we used to determine the amount of each payment.

     Annuity Option C - Joint and Survivor Annuity

We make monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and another person you designate and during the lifetime of the survivor of the two. We stop making payments when the last survivor dies. There is no provision for continuance of any payments to a Beneficiary.

     Annuity Option D - Monthly Payments for a Specified Period Certain

We make monthly payments for a specified period of time from 5 to 30 years, as you elect. The longer the period you elect, the smaller your monthly payments will be. If payments under this option are paid on a variable annuity basis, the Annuitant may elect to receive in one sum, at any time, some or all of the discounted value of the remaining payments, the discount rate for this purpose will be the assumed interest rate in effect. If the Annuitant dies during the period selected, the remaining income payments are made as described above for the payments to a Beneficiary under Annuity Option B. The election of this Annuity Option may result in the imposition of a penalty tax.

Selection of Annuity Option

You select one or more of the Annuity Options, which you may change during the Accumulation Phase, as long as we receive your selection or change in writing at least 30 days before the Annuity Commencement Date. If we have not received your written selection on the 30th day before the Annuity Commencement Date, you will receive Annuity Option B, for a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.

You may specify the proportion of your Adjusted Account Value you wish to provide a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity. Under a Variable Annuity, the dollar amount of payments will vary, while under a Fixed Annuity, the dollar amount of payments will remain the same. If you do not specify a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity, your Adjusted Account Value will be divided between Variable Annuities and Fixed Annuities in the same proportions as your Account Value was divided between the Variable and Fixed Accounts on the Annuity Commencement Date. You may allocate your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity among the Sub-Accounts, or we will use your existing allocations.

There may be additional limitations on the options you may elect under your particular retirement plan or applicable law.

Remember that the Annuity Options may not be changed once annuity payments begin.

Amount of Annuity Payments

     Adjusted Account Value

The Adjusted Account Value is the amount we apply to provide a Variable Annuity and/or a Fixed Annuity. We calculate Adjusted Account Value by taking your Account Value on the Business Day just before the Annuity Commencement Date and making the following adjustments:

l
We deduct a proportional amount of the Account Fee, based on the fraction of the current Contract Year that has elapsed.
   
l
We deduct any applicable premium tax or similar tax if not previously deducted.

     Variable Annuity Payments

On the Annuity Commencement Date, we will exchange your Account's Variable Annuity Units for annuitization units which have annual insurance charges of 1.70% of your average daily net assets, regardless of your age on the Issue Date. Variable Annuity payments may vary each month. We determine the dollar amount of the first payment using the portion of your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity and the Annuity Payment Rates in your Contract, which are based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year, compounded annually. See "Annuity Payment Rates."

To calculate the remaining payments, we convert the amount of the first payment into Annuity Units for each Sub-Account; we determine the number of those Annuity Units by dividing the portion of the first payment attributable to the Sub-Account by the Annuity Unit Value of that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period ending just before the Annuity Commencement Date. This number of Annuity Units for each Sub-Account will remain constant (unless the Annuitant requests an exchange of Annuity Units). However, the dollar amount of the next Variable Annuity payment -- which is the sum of the number of Annuity Units for each Sub-Account times its Annuity Unit Value for the Valuation Period ending just before the date of the payment -- will increase, decrease, or remain the same, depending on the net investment return of the Sub-Accounts.

If the net investment return of the Sub-Accounts selected is the same as the assumed interest rate of 3%, compounded annually, the payments will remain level. If the net investment return exceeds the assumed interest rate, payments will increase and, conversely, if it is less than the assumed interest rate, payments will decrease.

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more information about calculating Variable Annuity Units and Variable Annuity payments, including examples of these calculations.

     Fixed Annuity Payments

Fixed Annuity payments are the same each month. We determine the dollar amount of each Fixed Annuity payment using the fixed portion of your Adjusted Account Value and the applicable Annuity Payment Rates. These will be either (1) the rates in your Contract, or (2) new rates we have published and are using on the Annuity Commencement Date, if they are more favorable. See "Annuity Payment Rates."

     Minimum Payments

If your Adjusted Account Value is less than $2,000, or the first annuity payment for any Annuity Option is less than $20, we will pay the Adjusted Account Value to the Annuitant in one payment.

Exchange of Variable Annuity Units

During the Income Phase, the Annuitant may exchange Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for Annuity Units in another Sub-Account, up to 12 times each Contract Year. Any such exchanges may be subject to any restrictions or other policies that the Funds have adopted to protect the Funds from short-term trading or other practices that are potentially harmful to the Fund (the "Funds' Shareholder Trading Policies"). The applicability of the Funds' Shareholder Trading Policies is the same during the Income Phase as during the Accumulation Phase, and this is discussed in this prospectus under "Funds' Shareholder Trading Policies." For the reasons discussed there, you should review and comply with each Fund's Shareholder Trading Policies, which are disclosed in the Funds' current prospectuses.

To make an exchange, the Annuitant sends us, at our Annuity Service Address, a written request stating the number of Annuity Units in the Sub-Account he or she wishes to exchange and the new Sub-Account for which Annuity Units are requested. The number of new Annuity Units will be calculated so the dollar amount of an annuity payment on the date of the exchange would not be affected. To calculate this number, we use Annuity Unit values for the Valuation Period during which we receive the exchange request.

Before exchanging Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for those in another, the Annuitant should carefully review the relevant Fund prospectuses for the investment objectives and risk disclosure of the Funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest.

During the Income Phase, we permit only exchanges among Sub-Accounts. No exchanges to or from a Fixed Annuity are permitted.

Account Fee

During the Income Phase, we deduct the annual Account Fee of $30 in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment. We do not deduct the annual Account Fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Annuity Payment Rates

The Contracts contain Annuity Payment Rates for each Annuity Option described in this Prospectus. The rates show, for each $1,000 applied, the dollar amount of: (a) the first monthly Variable Annuity payment based on the assumed interest rate specified in the applicable Contract (3% per year, compounded annually); and (b) the monthly Fixed Annuity payment, when this payment is based on the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in the Contract.

The Annuity Payment Rates may vary according to the Annuity Option elected and the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The Contracts also describe the method of determining the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The mortality table used in determining the Annuity Payment Rates for Annuity Options A, B and C is the Annuity 2000 Table.

Annuity Options as Method of Payment for Death Benefit

You or your Beneficiary may also select one or more Annuity Options to be used in the event of the Owner's death before the Income Phase, as described under the "Death Benefit" section of this Prospectus. In that case, your Beneficiary will be the Annuitant. The Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the second month beginning after the Death Benefit Date.

OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS

Exercise of Contract Rights

A Contract belongs to the individual to whom the Contract is issued. All Contract rights and privileges can be exercised without the consent of the Beneficiary (other than an irrevocably designated Beneficiary) or any other person. Such rights and privileges may be exercised only before the Annuity Commencement Date, except as the Contract otherwise provides.

The Annuitant becomes the Payee on and after the Annuity Commencement Date. The Beneficiary becomes the Payee on the death of the Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, or on the death of the Annuitant after the Annuity Commencement Date. Such Payee may thereafter exercise such rights and privileges, if any, of ownership which continue.

Change of Ownership

Ownership of a Qualified Contract may not be transferred except to: (1) the Annuitant; (2) a trustee or successor trustee of a pension or profit sharing trust which is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code; (3) the employer of the Annuitant, provided that the Qualified Contract after transfer is maintained under the terms of a retirement plan qualified under Section 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of the Annuitant; (4) the trustee or custodian of an individual retirement account plan qualified under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of the Owner; or (5) as otherwise permitted from time to time by laws and regulations governing the retirement or deferred compensation plans for which a Qualified Contract may be issued. Subject to the foregoing, a Qualified Contract may not be sold, assigned, transferred, discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other purpose to any person other than the Company.

The Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract may change the ownership of the Contract prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. A change of ownership will not be binding on us until we receive written notification, in good order. When we receive such notification, the change will be effective as of the date on which the request for change was signed by the Owner, but the change will be without prejudice to us on account of any payment we make or any action we take before receiving the change. If you change the Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract, you will become immediately liable for the payment of taxes on any gain realized under the Contract prior to the change of ownership, including possible liability for a 10% federal excise tax.

Change of ownership will not change the Owner named when the Contract is issued. This means that all death benefits will continue to be based on the original Owner and not the new Owner. The amount payable on the death of the new Owner will be the Surrender Value.

Voting of Fund Shares

We will vote Fund shares held by the Sub-Accounts at meetings of shareholders of the Funds or in connection with similar solicitations, according to the voting instructions received from persons having the right to give voting instructions. During the Accumulation Phase, you will have the right to give voting instructions. During the Income Phase, the Payee (that is the Annuitant or Beneficiary entitled to receive benefits) is the person having such voting rights. We will vote any shares attributable to us and Fund shares for which no timely voting instructions are received in the same proportion as the shares for which we receive instructions from Owners and Payees, as applicable.

Owners of Qualified Contracts issued on a group basis to employer plans may be subject to other voting provisions of the particular plan and under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Employees who contribute to plans that are funded by the Contracts may be entitled to instruct the Owners as to how to instruct us to vote the Fund shares attributable to their contributions. Such plans may also provide the additional extent, if any, to which the Owners shall follow voting instructions of persons with rights under the plans. If no voting instructions are received from any such person with respect to a particular Owner Account, the Owner may instruct the Company as to how to vote the number of Fund shares for which instructions may be given.

Neither the Variable Account nor the Company is under any duty to provide information concerning the voting instruction rights to persons who may have such rights under plans, other than rights afforded under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any duty to inquire as to the instructions received by Owners or others, or the authority of any such persons, to instruct the voting of Fund shares. Except as the Variable Account or the Company has actual knowledge to the contrary, the instructions given by Owners and Payees will be valid as they affect the Variable Account, the Company and any others having voting instruction rights with respect to the Variable Account.

All Fund proxy material, together with an appropriate form to be used to give voting instructions, will be provided to each person having the right to give voting instructions at least 10 days prior to each meeting of the shareholders of the Fund. We will determine the number of Fund shares as to which each such person is entitled to give instructions as of the record date set by the Fund for such meeting, which is expected to be not more than 90 days prior to each such meeting. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which voting instructions may be given to the Company is determined by dividing the value of all of the Variable Accumulation Units of the particular Sub-Account credited to the Owner Account by the net asset value of one Fund share as of the same date. On or after the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which such instructions may be given by a Payee is determined by dividing the reserve held by the Company in the Sub-Account with respect to the particular Payee by the net asset value of a Fund share as of the same date. After the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which a Payee is entitled to give voting instructions will generally decrease due to the decrease in the reserve.

Reports to Owners

We will send you, by regular U.S. mail, confirmation of all Purchase Payments (including any interest credited), withdrawals, (including any federal taxes on withdrawals), minimum distributions, death benefit payments, transfers (excluding dollar-cost averaging transfers) and living benefit credits or refunds.  Such confirmations will be sent within two business days after the transaction occurs.

In addition, within 5 business days after each Account Quarter, we will send you a statement showing your current Account Value, death benefit value, and investment allocation by asset class.  Each quarterly statement will detail transactions that occurred during the last Account Quarter including Purchase Payments, annuity payments, transfers (including dollar-cost averaging transfers), partial withdrawals, systematic withdrawals, minimum distributions, portfolio rebalancing, asset reallocations, interest credited on fixed accounts, step-ups credited on living benefits, and annual contract fees assessed.

We will also send you annual and semi-annual reports of the funds in which you are invested, including a list of investments held by each portfolio as of the current date of the report.

It is your obligation to review each such statement carefully and to report to us, at the address or telephone number provided on the statement, any errors or discrepancies in the information presented therein within 60 days of the date of such statement. Unless we receive notice of any such error or discrepancy from you within such period, we may not be responsible for correcting the error or discrepancy.

Substitution of Securities

Shares of any or all Funds may not always be available for investment under the Contract. We may add or delete Funds or other investment companies as variable investment options under the Contract. We may also substitute for the shares held in any Sub-Account shares of another Fund or shares of another registered open-end investment company or unit investment trust, provided that the substitution has been approved, if required, by the SEC and the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York. In the event of any substitution pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the substitution.

Change in Operation of Variable Account

At our election and subject to any necessary vote by persons having the right to give instructions with respect to the voting of Fund shares held by the Sub-Accounts, the Variable Account may be operated as a management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or it may be deregistered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in the event registration is no longer required. Deregistration of the Variable Account requires an order by the SEC. In the event of any change in the operation of the Variable Account pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the change and take such other action as may be necessary and appropriate to effect the change.

Splitting Units

We reserve the right to split or combine the value of Variable Accumulation Units, Annuity Units or any of them. In effecting any such change of unit values, strict equity will be preserved and no change will have a material effect on the benefits or other provisions of the Contract.

Modification

Upon notice to the Owner (or the Payee(s) during the Income Phase), we may modify the Contract if such modification: (1) is necessary to make the Contract or the Variable Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which the Company or the Variable Account is subject; (2) is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Contract under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or annuity contracts; (3) is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Variable Account or the Sub-Account(s) (see "Change in Operation of Variable Account"); (4) provides additional Variable Account and/or fixed accumulation options; or (5) as may otherwise be in the best interests of Owners, or Payees, as applicable. In the event of any such modification, we may make appropriate endorsement in the Contract to reflect such modification.

Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law, to: (1) combine any 2 or more variable accounts or Sub-Accounts; (2) add or delete Funds, sub-series thereof or other investment companies and corresponding Sub-Accounts; (3) add or remove Guarantee Periods available at any time for election by an Owner; and (4) restrict or eliminate any of the voting rights of Owners or other persons who have voting rights as to the Variable Account. Where required by law, we will obtain approval of changes from Owners or any appropriate regulatory authority. In the event of any change pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the change.

Right to Return

If you are not satisfied with your Contract, you may return it by mailing or delivering it to us at our Annuity Service Address, as shown on the cover of this Prospectus, within 10 days, or longer if allowed by your state, after it was delivered to you. State law may also allow you to return the Contract to your sales representative. When we receive the returned Contract, it will be cancelled and we will refund to you your Account Value. If applicable state law requires, we will return the full amount of any Purchase Payment(s) we received.

If you are establishing an Individual Retirement Annuity ("IRA"), the Internal Revenue Code requires that we give you a disclosure statement containing certain information about the Contract and applicable legal requirements. We must give you this statement on or before the date the IRA is established. If we give you the disclosure statement before the seventh day preceding the date the IRA is established, you will not have any right of revocation under the Code. If we give you the disclosure statement at a later date, then you may give us a notice of revocation at any time within 7 days after your Issue Date. Upon such revocation, we will refund your Purchase Payment(s). This right of revocation with respect to an IRA is in addition to the return privilege set forth in the preceding paragraph. We allow an Owner establishing an IRA a "ten day free-look," notwithstanding the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This section provides general information on the federal income tax consequences of ownership of a Contract based upon our understanding of current federal tax laws. Actual federal tax consequences will vary depending on, among other things, the type of retirement plan under which your Contract is issued. Also, legislation altering the current tax treatment of annuity contracts could be enacted in the future and could apply retroactively to Contracts that were purchased before the date of enactment. We make no attempt to consider any applicable federal estate, federal gift, state or other tax laws. We also make no guarantee regarding the federal, state, or local tax status of any Contract or any transaction involving any Contract. You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice before purchasing a Contract or executing any other transaction (such as a rollover, distribution, withdrawal or payment) involving a Contract.

     Deductibility of Purchase Payments

For federal income tax purposes, Purchase Payments made under Non-Qualified Contracts are not deductible. Under certain circumstances, Purchase Payments made under Qualified Contracts may be excludible or deductible from taxable income.  Any such amounts will also be excluded from the "investment in the contract" for purposes of determining the taxable portion of any distributions from a Qualified Contract. As a general rule, regardless of whether you own a Qualified or a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount of your tax liability on earnings and distributions will depend upon the specific tax rules applicable to your Contract and your particular circumstances.

     Pre-Distribution Taxation of Contracts

Generally, an increase in the value of a Contract will not give rise to a current income tax liability to the Owner of a Contract or to any payee under the Contract until a distribution is received from the Contract.  However, certain assignments or pledges of a Contract or loans under a Contract will be treated as distributions to the Owner of the Contract and will accelerate the taxability of any increases in the value of a Contract.

Also, corporate (or other non-natural person) Owners of a Non-Qualified Contract will generally incur a current tax, liability on Account Value increases. There are certain exceptions to this current taxation rule, including: (i) any Contract that is an "immediate annuity", which the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") defines as a single premium contract with an annuity commencement date within one year of the date of purchase which provides for a series of substantially equal periodic payments (to be made not less frequently than annually) during the annuity period, and (ii) any Contract that the non-natural person holds as agent for a natural person (such as where a bank or other entity holds a Contract as trustee under a trust agreement).

You should note that a qualified retirement plan generally provides tax deferral regardless of whether the plan invests in an annuity contract. For that reason, no decision to purchase a Qualified Contract should be based on the assumption that the purchase of a Qualified Contract is necessary to obtain tax deferral under a qualified plan.

     Distributions and Withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts

The Account Value of a Non-Qualified Contract will generally include both (i) an amount attributable to Purchase Payments, the return of which will not be taxable, and (ii) an amount attributable to investment earnings, the receipt of which will be taxable at ordinary income rates. The relative portions of any particular distribution that derive from nontaxable Purchase Payments and taxable investment earnings depend upon the nature and the timing of that distribution.

Any withdrawal of less than your entire Account Value under a Non-Qualified Contract before the Annuity Commencement Date, must be treated as a receipt of investment earnings. You may not treat such withdrawals as a non-taxable return of Purchase Payments unless you have first withdrawn the entire amount of the Account Value that is attributable to investment earnings. For purposes of determining whether an Owner has withdrawn the entire amount of the investment earnings under a Non-Qualified Contract, the Code provides that all Non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same company to the same Owner during any one calendar year must be treated as one annuity contract. If you withdraw your entire Account Value under a Non-Qualified Contract before the Annuity Commencement Date (a "full surrender"), the taxable portion will equal the amount you receive less the "investment in the contract" (i.e., the total Purchase Payments (excluding amounts that were deductible by, or excluded from the gross income of, the Owner of a Contract), less any Purchase Payments that were amounts previously received which were not includable in income).

A Payee who receives annuity payments under a Non-Qualified Contract after the Annuity Commencement Date, will generally be able to treat a portion of each payment as a nontaxable return of Purchase Payments and to treat only the remainder of each such payment as taxable investment earnings. Until the Purchase Payments have been fully recovered in this manner, the nontaxable portion of each payment will be determined by the ratio of (i) the total amount of the Purchase Payments made under the Contract, to (ii) the Payee's expected return under the Contract. Once the Payee has received nontaxable payments in an amount equal to total Purchase Payments, no further exclusion is allowed and all future distributions will constitute fully taxable ordinary income. If payments are terminated upon the death of the Annuitant or other Payee before the Purchase Payments have been fully recovered, the unrecovered Purchase Payments may be deducted on the final return of the Annuitant or other Payee.

A penalty tax of 10% may also apply to taxable cash withdrawals including lump-sum payments from Non-Qualified Contracts. This penalty will generally not apply to distributions made after age 59½, to distributions pursuant to the death or disability of the Owner, to distributions that are a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for life or life expectancy, or to distributions under an immediate annuity (as defined above).

Death benefits paid upon the death of a contract owner are not life insurance benefits and will generally be includible in the income of the recipient to the extent they represent investment earnings under the contract.  For this purpose, the amount of the investment in the contract is not affected by the owner's or annuitant's death, i.e., the investment in the contract must still be determined by reference to the Owner's investment in the Contract. Special mandatory distribution rules also apply after the death of the Owner when the beneficiary is not the surviving spouse of the Owner.  

If death benefits are distributed in a lump sum, the taxable amount of those benefits will be determined in the same manner as upon a full surrender of the contract.  If death benefits are distributed under an annuity option, the taxable amount of those benefits will be determined in the same manner as annuity payments, as described above.

Any amounts held under a Non-Qualified Contract that are assigned or pledged as collateral for a loan will also be treated as if withdrawn from the Contract.  In addition, upon the transfer of a Non-Qualified Contract by gift (other than to the Owner's spouse), the Owner must treat an amount equal to the Account Value minus the total amount paid for the Contract as income.

     Distributions and Withdrawals from Qualified Contracts

In most cases, all of the distributions you receive from a Qualified Contract will constitute fully taxable ordinary income. Also, a 10% penalty tax will apply to distributions prior to age 59½, except in certain circumstances.

If you receive a distribution for a Qualified Contract used in connection with a qualified pension plan, from a tax-sheltered annuity, a governmental Code Section 457 plan or an individual retirement annuity "IRA" and roll over some or all that distribution to another eligible plan, following the rules set out in the Code and IRS regulations, the portion of such distribution that is rolled over will not be includible in your income. An eligible rollover distribution from a qualified plan, tax-sheltered annuity or governmental Section 457 plan will be subject to 20% mandatory withholding as described below. Because the amount of the cash paid to you as an eligible rollover distribution will be reduced by this withholding, you will not be able to roll over the entire account balance under your Contract, unless you use other funds equal to the tax withholding to complete the rollover. Rollovers of IRA distributions are not subject to the 20% mandatory withholding requirement.

An eligible rollover distribution from a qualified plan, governmental Section 457 plan or tax-sheltered annuity is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of an employee, except that the term does not include:

l
a distribution which is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually under a lifetime annuity or for a specified period of ten years or more;
   
l
any required minimum distribution; or
   
l
any hardship distribution.

Only you or your surviving spouse Beneficiary may elect to roll over a distribution to an eligible retirement plan. However, a non-surviving-spouse Beneficiary may able to directly transfer a distribution to a so-called inherited IRA that will be subject to the IRS distribution rules applicable to beneficiaries.

     Withholding

In the case of an eligible rollover distribution (as defined above) from a Qualified Contract (other than from an IRA), we (or the plan administrator) must withhold and remit to the U.S. Government 20% of the distribution, unless the Owner or Payee elects to make a direct rollover of the distribution to another qualified retirement plan that is eligible to receive the rollover; however, only you or your surviving spouse Beneficiary may elect a direct rollover. In the case of a distribution from (i) a Non-Qualified Contract, (ii) an IRA, or (iii) a Qualified Contract where the distribution is not an eligible rollover distribution, we will withhold and remit to the U.S. Government a part of the taxable portion of each distribution unless, prior to the distribution, the Owner or Payee provides us his or her taxpayer identification number and instructs us (in the manner prescribed) not to withhold. The Owner or Payee may credit against his or her federal income tax liability for the year of distribution any amounts that we (or the plan administrator) withhold.

     Investment Diversification and Control

The Treasury Department has issued regulations that prescribe investment diversification requirements for the mutual fund series underlying nonqualified variable contracts. All Non-Qualified Contracts must comply with these regulations to qualify as annuities for federal income tax purposes. The owner of a Non-Qualified Contract that does not meet these guidelines will be subject to current taxation on annual increases in value of the Contract. We believe that each Fund available as an investment option under the Contract complies with these regulations.

The IRS has stated that satisfaction of the diversification requirements described above by itself does not prevent a contract owner from being treated as the owner of separate account assets under an "owner control" test.  If a contract owner is treated as the owner of separate account assets for tax purposes, the contract owner would be subject to taxation on the income and gains from the separate account assets. In published revenue rulings through 1982 and then again in 2003, the IRS has stated that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if the owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise control over the investment of the assets.  In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and concluded that the owners of the variable contracts would not be considered the owners of the contracts' underlying assets for federal income tax purposes.

Revenue Ruling 2003-91 states that the determination of whether the owner of a variable contract possesses sufficient incidents of ownership over the assets underlying the variable contract so as to be deemed the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes will depend on all the facts and circumstances. We do not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in Revenue Ruling 2003-91 should prevent the holding in Revenue Ruling 2003-91 from applying.  Nevertheless, you should consult with a qualified tax professional on the potential impact of the investor control rules of the IRS as they relate to the investment decisions and activities you may undertake with respect to the Contract.  In addition, the IRS and/or the Treasury Department may issue new rulings, interpretations or regulations on this subject in the future.  Accordingly, we therefore reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the owner, for tax purposes, of the underlying assets.  We also reserve the right to notify you if we determine that it is no longer practicable to maintain the Contract in a manner that was designed to prevent you from being considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.  You bear the risk that you may be treated as the owner of Separate Account assets and taxed accordingly.

     Tax Treatment of the Company and the Variable Account

As a life insurance company under the Code, we will record and report operations of the Variable Account separately from other operations. The Variable Account will not, however, constitute a regulated investment company or any other type of taxable entity distinct from our other operations. Under present law, we will not incur tax on the income of the Variable Account (consisting primarily of interest, dividends, and net capital gains) if we use this income to increase reserves under Contracts participating in the Variable Account.

     Qualified Retirement Plans

"Qualified Contracts" are Contracts used with plans that receive tax deferral treatment pursuant to specific provisions of the Code.  Annuity contracts also receive tax deferral treatment.  It is not necessary that you purchase an annuity contract to receive the tax deferral treatment available through a Qualified Contract.  If you purchase this annuity Contract as a Qualified Contract, you do not receive additional tax deferral.  Therefore, if you purchase this annuity Contract as a Qualified Contract, you should do so for reasons other than obtaining tax deferral.

You may use Qualified Contracts with several types of qualified retirement plans. Because tax consequences will vary with the type of qualified retirement plan and the plan's specific terms and conditions, we provide below only brief, general descriptions of the consequences that follow from using Qualified Contracts in connection with various types of qualified retirement plans. We stress that the rights of any person to any benefits under these plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of the terms of the Qualified Contracts that you are using. These terms and conditions may include restrictions on, among other things, ownership, transferability, assignability, contributions and distributions.

     Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) of the Code permit business employers and certain associations to establish various types of retirement plans for employees. The Code requirements are similar for qualified retirement plans of corporations and those of self-employed individuals. Self-employed persons, as a general rule, may therefore use Qualified Contracts as a funding vehicle for their retirement plans.

     Tax-Sheltered Annuities

Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts and, subject to certain limitations, exclude the amount of purchase payments from gross income for tax purposes. The Code imposes restrictions on cash withdrawals from Section 403(b) annuities.

If the Contracts are to receive tax-deferred treatment, cash withdrawals of amounts attributable to salary reduction contributions (other than withdrawals of accumulation account value as of December 31, 1988) may be made only when the Owner attains age 59½, has a severance from employment with the employer, dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code). These restrictions apply to (i) any post-1988 salary reduction contributions, (ii) any growth or interest on post-1988 salary reduction contributions, (iii) any growth or interest on pre-1989 salary reduction contributions that occurs on or after January 1, 1989, and (iv) any pre-1989 salary reduction contributions since we do not maintain records that separately account for such contributions. It is permissible, however, to withdraw post-1988 salary reduction contributions (but not the earnings attributable to such contributions) in cases of financial hardship. The Internal Revenue Service has issued specific rules defining financial hardship, but those rules do not become effective until January 1, 2009.  Until then, we expect that to qualify for a hardship distribution, the Owner must have an immediate and heavy bona fide financial need and lack other resources reasonably available to satisfy the need. Hardship withdrawals (as well as certain other premature withdrawals) will be subject to a 10% tax penalty, in addition to any withdrawal charge applicable under the Contracts. Under certain circumstances the 10% tax penalty will not apply if the withdrawal is for medical expenses.

Section 403(b) annuities, like IRAs, are subject to required minimum distributions under the Code.  Section 403(b) annuities are unique, however, in that any account balance accruing before January 1, 1987 (the "pre-1987 balance") needs to comply with only the minimum distribution incidental benefit (MDIB) rule and not also with the minimum distribution rules set forth in Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.  This special treatment for any pre-1987 balance is, however, conditioned upon the issuer identifying the pre-1987 balance and maintaining accurate records of changes to the balance.  Since we do not maintain such records, your pre-1987 balance, if any, will not be eligible for special distribution treatment.

Under the terms of a particular Section 403(b) plan, the Owner may be entitled to transfer all or a portion of the Account Value to one or more alternative funding options. Owners should consult the documents governing their plan and the person who administers the plan for information as to such investment alternatives.

The Internal Revenue Service has issued comprehensive regulations that are generally effective January 1, 2009, to 403(b) plans and annuities, but that may apply to a Section 403(b) annuity issued before that date.  You should consult with a qualified tax professional about those regulations.

     Individual Retirement Arrangements

Sections 219 and 408 of the Code permit eligible individuals to contribute to a so-called "traditional" individual retirement program, including Individual Retirement Accounts and Annuities, Simplified Employee Pension Plans and SIMPLE Retirement Accounts. Such IRAs are subject to limitations on contribution levels, the persons who may be eligible, and on the time when distributions may commence. In addition, certain distributions from some other types of retirement plans may be placed in an IRA on a tax-deferred basis. The Internal Revenue Service imposes special information requirements with respect to IRAs and we will provide purchasers of the Contracts as Individual Retirement Annuities with any necessary information. You will have the right to revoke a Contract issued as an Individual Retirement Annuity under certain circumstances, as described in the section of this Prospectus entitled "Right to Return." If your Contract is issued in connection with an Individual Retirement Account, we have no information about the Account and you should contact the Account's trustee or custodian.

     Roth Individual Retirement Arrangements

Section 408A of the Code permits an individual to contribute to an individual retirement program called a Roth IRA. Unlike contributions to a traditional IRA under Section 408 of the Code, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible. Provided certain conditions are satisfied, distributions are generally tax-free. Like traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs are subject to limitations on contribution amounts and the timing of distributions. If you convert a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity Contract into a Roth IRA Contract or your Individual Retirement Account that holds a Contract is converted to a Roth Individual Retirement Account, the fair market value of the Contract is included in taxable income. Under IRS regulations and Revenue Procedure 2006-13, fair market value may exceed the Contract's account balance.  Thus, you should consult with a qualified tax professional prior to any conversion.

The Internal Revenue Service imposes special information requirements with respect to Roth IRAs and we will provide the necessary information for Contracts issued as Roth Individual Retirement Annuities. If your Contract is issued in connection with a Roth Individual Retirement Account, we have no information about the Account and you should contact the Account's trustee or custodian.

      Impact of Optional Death Benefit and Optional Living Benefit Riders

Qualified Contracts.  If your Contract is a traditional IRA annuity or a 403(b) TSA annuity, it is subject to certain required minimum distribution (RMD) requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and IRS regulations. Under the RMD rules, distributions must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which you attain age 70½ or, for non-IRAs, the date of retirement instead of age 70½ if it is later. The RMD amount for a distribution calendar year is generally calculated by dividing the Contract's value as of 12/31 of the prior calendar year by the applicable distribution factor set forth in a Uniform Lifetime Table in the IRS regulations. For Contracts issued in connection with traditional Individual Retirement Accounts, you should contact the Account's trustee or custodian about RMD requirements since we only provide the trustee or custodian with the Contract's value (including any actuarial present value of additional benefits discussed below) so that it can be used in the Account's RMD calculations.

Effective with the 2006 distribution calendar year, the actuarial present value as of 12/31 of any additional benefits that are provided under your Contract (such as optional death and living benefits) will be added to the Contract's Account Value as of 12/31 in order to calculate the RMD amount. There are two exceptions to the requirement that the actuarial present value of an additional benefit must be added to the Account Value for RMD calculation purposes. First, if the only additional benefit provided under a Contract is a return of premium death benefit (i.e., a benefit under which the final payment does not exceed the amount of purchase payments made less prior distributions), then the additional benefit is disregarded and the RMD calculation uses only the 12/31 Account Value. Second, if (1) the Contract provides only for additional benefits that are each reduced on a proportional basis in the event of distributions, with or without a return of premium death benefit that is not reduced in amount proportionately in the event of distributions and (2) the actuarial present value of all the Contract's additional benefits is no more than 20% of the 12/31 Account Value, then the additional benefits are disregarded and the RMD calculation uses only the 12/31 Account Value. When we notify you of the RMD amount for a distribution calendar year, we will inform you if the calculation included the actuarial present value of additional benefits. Because of the above requirements, your initial or renewal election of an optional rider could cause your RMD amount to be higher than it would be without such an election. Prior to electing to participate in (or, if applicable, prior to renewing your participation in) any optional rider, you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the possible effect of that rider on your yearly RMD amounts.

You may take an RMD amount calculated for a particular IRA annuity from that annuity or from another IRA account or IRA annuity of yours.  Similarly, you may take an RMD amount calculated for a particular TSA annuity from that annuity or from another TSA account or TSA annuity of yours.  If your Qualified Contract is an asset of a qualified retirement plan, the qualified plan is subject to the RMD requirements and the Contract, as an asset of the qualified plan may need to be used as a source of funds for the RMDs.

If you are subject to the RMD requirements while you are enrolled in the AB Plan under any optional living benefit rider, any RMD amount that you take from the Contract will reduce the amount of the benefit under the AB Plan. This reduction could significantly reduce the value of the optional living benefit to you.

If you are subject to the RMD requirements while you are enrolled in the WB Plan under any optional living benefit rider, and any RMD amount that you take from the Contract ever exceeds the maximum amount that you may withdraw under the terms of the WB Plan, the additional withdrawal amount will reduce the amount of the benefit available under the WB Plan. This reduction could significantly reduce the value of the optional living benefit to you.

Participants in 403(b) plans who are under age 59½, are subject to withdrawal restrictions under the Internal Revenue Code that may prevent them from being able to make any withdrawals under the WB Plan while they remain under age 59½.

Prior to electing to participate in (or, if applicable, prior to renewing your participation in) any optional living benefit rider, you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the possible effect of RMD distributions on the benefits that might otherwise be available under any optional living benefit.

If your Contract is a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity or is held by your traditional Individual Retirement Account and you might convert in the future to a Roth IRA (see "Roth Individual Retirement Arrangements"), then your initial or renewal election of an optional rider could cause your taxable income upon conversion to be higher than it would be without such an election.  Prior to electing to participate in (or, if applicable, prior to renewing your participation in) any optional living benefit or death benefit, you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the possible effect of that benefit on conversion taxable income.

Non-Qualified Contracts.  We are required to make a determination as to the taxability of any withdrawal you make in order to be able to annually report to the IRS and you information about your withdrawal.  Under the Internal Revenue Code, any withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract is taxable to the extent the annuity's cash value exceeds the investment in the contract.  There is no definition of "cash value" in the Code and, for tax reporting purposes, we are currently treating it as the Account Value of the Contract.  However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree that this is the correct cash value.  The IRS could, for example, determine that the cash value is the Account Value plus an additional amount representing the value of an optional rider.  If this were to occur, election of an optional rider could cause any withdrawal, including a withdrawal under the withdrawal benefit of any optional living benefit rider, to have a higher proportion of the withdrawal derived from taxable investment earnings.  Prior to electing to participate in (or, if applicable, prior to renewing your participation in any optional living benefit), you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the meaning of "cash value."

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT

We perform certain administrative functions relating to the Contract, Owner Accounts, and the Variable Account. These functions include, but are not limited to, maintaining the books and records of the Variable Account and the Sub-Accounts; maintaining records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number, Contract number, Owner Account number and type, the status of each Owner Account and other pertinent information necessary to the administration and operation of the Contract; processing Applications, Purchase Payments, transfers and full and partial withdrawals; issuing Contracts; administering annuity payments; furnishing accounting and valuation services; reconciling and depositing cash receipts; providing confirmations; providing toll-free customer service lines; and furnishing telephonic transfer services.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT

Contracts are sold by licensed insurance agents ("the Selling Agents") in those states where the Contract may be lawfully sold.  Such Selling Agents will be registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealer firms ("the Selling Broker-Dealers") registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and who have entered into selling agreements with the Company and the general distributor, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.  Clarendon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of FINRA.

The Company (or its affiliate, for purposes of this section only, collectively, "the Company"), pays the Selling Broker-Dealers compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contract.   The Selling Agents who solicit sales of the Contract typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by the Company to the Selling Broker-Dealers in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on the agreement between the Selling Broker-Dealer and their Selling Agent.  This compensation is not paid directly by the Contract Owner or the separate account.  The Company intends to recoup this compensation through fees and charges imposed under the Contract, and from profits on payments received by the Company for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Funds.

The amount and timing of commissions the Company may pay to Selling Broker-Dealers may vary depending on the selling agreement but is not expected to be more than 2.50% of Purchase Payments, and 1.25% annually of the Owner's Account Value. The Company may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or other compensation to the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, and this compensation may be significant in amount.

The Company also pays compensation to wholesaling broker-dealers or other firms or intermediaries, including payments to affiliates of the Company, in return for wholesaling services such as providing marketing and sales support, product training and administrative services to the Selling Agents of the Selling Broker-Dealers.  This compensation may be significant and may be based on a percentage of Purchase Payments and/or a percentage of Contract Value and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.

In addition to the compensation described above, the Company may make additional cash payments, in certain circumstances referred to as "override" compensation, or reimbursements to Selling Broker-Dealers in recognition of their marketing and distribution, transaction processing and/or administrative services support.  These payments are not offered to all Selling Broker-Dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among Selling Broker-Dealers depending on, among other things, the level and type of marketing and distribution support provided. Marketing and distribution support services may include, among other services, placement of the Company's products on the Selling Broker-Dealers' preferred or recommended list, access to the Selling Broker-Dealers' registered representatives for purposes of promoting sales of the Company's products, assistance in training and education of the Selling Agents, and opportunities for the Company to participate in sales conferences and educational seminars.  The payments or reimbursements may be calculated as a percentage of the particular Selling Broker-Dealer's actual or expected aggregate sales of our variable contracts (including the Contract) or assets held within those contracts and/or may be a fixed dollar amount. Broker-dealers receiving these additional payments may pass on some or all of the payments to the Selling Agent. The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of additional compensation as described above may provide Selling Broker-Dealers with an incentive to favor sales of the Contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other investments) with respect to which the Selling Broker-Dealer does not receive additional compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation. You should take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Contracts.

In addition to selling our variable contracts (including the Contract), some Selling Broker-Dealers or their affiliates may have other business relationships with the Company. Those other business relationships may include, for example, reinsurance agreements pursuant to which an affiliate of the Selling Broker-Dealer provides reinsurance to the Company relative to some or all of the Policies or other variable policies issued by the Company or its affiliates. The potential profits for a Selling Broker-Dealer or its affiliates (including its registered representatives) associated with such reinsurance arrangements could be significant in amount and could indirectly provide incentives to the Selling Broker-Dealer and its Selling Agents to recommend products for which they provide reinsurance over similar products which do not result in potential reinsurance profits to the Selling Broker-Dealer or its affiliate. The operation of an individual contract is not impacted by whether the policy is subject to a reinsurance arrangement between the Company and an affiliate of the Selling Broker-Dealer.

As discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the Selling Broker-Dealer may receive numerous forms of payments that, directly or indirectly, provide incentives to, and otherwise facilitate and encourage the offer and sale of the Contracts by Selling Broker-Dealers and their registered representatives. Such payments may be greater or less in connection with the Contracts than in connection with other products offered and sold by the Company or by others. Accordingly, the payments described above may create a potential conflict of interest, as they may influence your Selling Broker-Dealer or registered representative to present a Contract to you instead of (or more favorably than) another product or products that might be preferable to you.

You should ask your Selling Agent for further information about what commissions or other compensation he or she, or the Selling Broker-Dealer for which he or she works, may receive in connection with your purchase of a Contract.

Commissions may be waived or reduced in connection with certain transactions described in this Prospectus under the heading "Waivers; Reduced Charges; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates." During 2005, 2006, and 2007, approximately $40,828, $22,820, and $51,488, respectively, in commission were paid to but not retained by Clarendon in connection with the distribution of the Contracts.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company and the Variable Account have filed with the SEC registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the Contracts. This Prospectus does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statements and their exhibits. For further information regarding the Variable Account, the Company and the Contracts, please refer to the registration statements and their exhibits.

In addition, the Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We file reports and other information with the SEC to meet these requirements.

You can inspect and copy this information and our registration statements at the SEC's public reference facilities at the following locations: Washington, D.C. -- 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Room 1024, Washington, D.C. 20549; Chicago, Illinois -- 500 West Madison Street, Chicago, IL 60661. The Washington, D.C. office will also provide copies by mail for a fee. You may also find these materials on the SEC's website (http:// www.sec.gov).

STATE REGULATION

The Company is subject to the laws of the State of New York governing life insurance companies and to regulation by the Superintendent of Insurance of New York. An annual statement is filed with the Superintendent of Insurance on or before March lst in each year relating to the operations of the Company for the preceding year and its financial condition on December 31st of such year. Its books and records are subject to review or examination by the Superintendent or his agents at any time and a full examination of its operations is conducted at periodic intervals.

The Superintendent has broad administrative powers with respect to licensing to transact business, overseeing trade practices, licensing agents, approving policy forms, establishing reserve requirements, fixing maximum interest rates on life insurance policy loans and minimum rates for accumulation of surrender values, prescribing the form and content of required financial statements and regulating the type and amounts of investments permitted.

In addition, affiliated groups of insurers, such as the Company, Sun Life (Canada) and its affiliates are regulated under insurance holding company legislation. Under such laws, inter-company transfers of assets and dividend payments from insurance subsidiaries may be subject to prior notice or approval, depending on the size of such transfers and payments in relation to the financial positions of the companies involved. Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business therein can be assessed (up to prescribed limits) for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments of the Company under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated. However, most of these laws do provide that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own financial strength and many permit the deduction of all or a portion of any such assessment from any future premium or similar taxes payable.

Although the federal government generally does not directly regulate the business of insurance, federal initiatives often have an impact on the business in a variety of ways. Current and proposed federal measures which may significantly affect the insurance business include employee benefit regulation, removal of barriers preventing banks from engaging in the insurance business, tax law changes affecting the taxation of insurance companies, the tax treatment of insurance products and its impact on the relative desirability of various personal investment vehicles.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Variable Account. We are engaged in various kinds of routine litigation which, in management's judgment, is not of material importance to our respective total assets or material with respect to the Variable Account.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the Company which are included in the SAI should be considered only as bearing on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations with respect to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account and with respect to the death benefit and the Company's assumption of the mortality and expense risks. They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the Fund shares held in the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.

The financial statements of the Variable Account for the year ended December 31, 2007 are also included in the SAI.

APPENDIX B -
CALCULATION OF BASIC DEATH BENEFIT

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000.00 is made on the Issue Date and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000.00 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Sub-Accounts, that no Withdrawals are made and that the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $80,000.00. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

     
The basic death benefit is the greatest of:
   
     Account Value
=
$   80,000.00
     
     Purchase Payments
=
$ 100,000.00
The basic death benefit would therefore be:
 
$ 100,000.00

Example 2:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000.00 is made on the Issue Date and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000.00 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Sub-Accounts and that the Account Value is $80,000.00 just prior to a $20,000.00 withdrawal. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $60,000.00.

The basic death benefit is the greatest of:
   
     Account Value
=
$  60,000.00
     
     Adjusted Purchase Payments*
=
$  75,000.00
The basic death benefit would therefore be:
 
$  75,000.00



*Adjusted Purchase Payments can be calculated as follows: Payments x (Account Value after withdrawal ÷ Account Value before withdrawal) $100,000.00 x ($60,000.00 ÷ $80,000.00)

APPENDIX D -
SECURED RETURNS FOR LIFE PLUS BENEFIT EXAMPLES

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ARE BASED UPON THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU PURCHASED A CONTRACT ON JANUARY 1, 2009 WITH AN INITIAL PURCHASE PAYMENT OF $100,000 AND YOU ELECTED SECURED RETURNS FOR LIFE PLUS.  YOUR INITIAL GLB AMOUNT EQUALS YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENT AMOUNT OF $100,000.

EXAMPLE 1: Calculation of Benefits under AB Plan.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your GLB amount at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, your accrued bonus amount is $10,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $5,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, your accrued bonus amount is $15,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $10,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you remain in the AB plan until it "matures" on January 1, 2019. Assume that you have taken no withdrawals since your contract was issued. Your accrued bonus amount is $50,000 ($5,000 per year for ten years). Since your rider has "matured" in the AB plan, the accrued bonus amount becomes $0. Assume that your Account Value on January 1, 2019 is $88,000. Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $12,000, an amount equal to $12,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($100,000 - $88,000).
   
l
If Secured Returns for Life Plus is still available to new Owners, you may elect to renew your participation in the Benefit with a new GLB amount of $100,000 at the cost and terms available to new Owners.

EXAMPLE 2: Calculation of Benefits under AB Plan with Subsequent Purchase Payments; Refund Applies.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your GLB amount at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, your accrued bonus amount is $10,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $5,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that on May 20, 2011, you make a Purchase Payment of $80,000. Since you are in your third Contract Year, your GLB amount is increased by 85% of this Purchase Payment. Therefore, your new GLB amount is $168,000 (old GLB amount of $100,000 plus 85% of $80,000). Your new Bonus Base is also $168,000 (old Bonus Base of $100,000 plus 85% of $80,000). Your accrued bonus amount remains at $10,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, your accrued bonus amount is $18,400, which equals $8,400 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $10,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $168,000.
   
l
Assume that you remain in the AB Plan until it "matures" on January 1, 2019. Assume that you have taken no withdrawals since your contract was issued. Your accrued bonus amount is $77,200 ($5,000 per year for two years plus $8,400 per year for eight years). Since your rider "matured" in the AB Plan, the accrued bonus amount becomes $0. Assume that your Account Value on January 1, 2019 is $200,000. Assume that the total rider charges you paid were $8,375.
   
l
Because your Account Value is greater than your GLB amount ($200,000 vs. $168,000), your Contract will be credited with an amount equal to the rider charges you have paid ($8,375), increasing your Account Value to $208,375.
   
l
If Secured Returns for Life Plus is still available to new Owners, you may elect to renew your participation in Secured Returns for Life Plus with a new GLB amount of $208,375 at the cost and terms available to new Owners.

EXAMPLE 3: Withdrawals under AB Plan.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your GLB amount at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, your accrued bonus amount is $10,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $5,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that on March 10, 2011 (in your third Contract Year), your Account Value is $80,000. Also assume that you take a withdrawal of $10,000 on this date. Therefore, your ending Account Value on March 10, 2011 is $70,000. Your GLB amount, Bonus Base, and accrued bonus amount are reduced proportionally to the amount withdrawn. Therefore, your new GLB amount is $100,000 x ($70,000 ÷ $80,000) = $87,500. Your new Bonus Base is $100,000 x ($70,000 ÷ $80,000) = $87,500. Your new accrued bonus amount is $10,000 x ($70,000 ÷ $80,000) = $8,750.
   
l
Assume that you take no more withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, your GLB amount remains at $87,500, and your Bonus Base also remains at $87,500. Since you made a withdrawal in your third Contract Year, you do not accrue a bonus amount in that Contract Year. Therefore, your accrued bonus amount remains at $8,750.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, your accrued bonus amount is $13,125, which equals $4,375 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $8,750. Since no withdrawals were been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $87,500.
   
l
Assume that you remain in the AB plan until it "matures" on January 1, 2019. Assume that you take no more withdrawals from your contract. Your accrued bonus amount is $39,375 ($8,750 total for the first two years plus $4,375 per year for seven years). Since your rider has "matured" in the AB plan, the accrued bonus amount becomes $0. Assume that your Account Value on January 1, 2019 is $80,000. Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $7,500, an amount equal to $7,500 will be deposited into your Contract ($87,500 - $80,000).
   
l
If Secured Returns for Life Plus is still available to new Owners, you may elect to renew your participation in Secured Returns for Life Plus with a new GLB amount of $87,500 at the cost and terms available to new Owners.

EXAMPLE 4: Step-up Elected under AB Plan.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your GLB amount at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, your accrued bonus amount is $10,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $5,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, your accrued bonus amount is $15,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $10,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that on January 1, 2012 your Account Value is $118,000. Since you have passed your first Contract Anniversary and have not stepped-up within the past year, and since your Account Value is greater than your GLB amount, you may elect to step up to a new ten year period, with a new GLB amount of $118,000. Assume that you do elect to step up. Your GLB amount is now equal to $118,000. Also, your Bonus Base is now equal to $118,000. Your AB plan "maturity date" is now January 1, 2022. Since your new GLB amount of $118,000 is greater than the sum of your old GLB amount of $100,000 plus your old accrued bonus amount of $15,000, your new accrued bonus amount is set equal to $0.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, your accrued bonus amount is $5,900, which equals $5,900 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $0. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $118,000.
   
l
Assume that you remain in the AB plan until it "matures" on January 1, 2022. Assume that you have taken no withdrawals since your contract was issued. Your accrued bonus amount is $41,300 ($5,900 per year for seven years). Since your rider has "matured" in the AB plan, the accrued bonus amount becomes $0. Assume that your Account Value on January 1, 2022 is $112,000. Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $6,000, an amount equal to $6,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($118,000 - $112,000).
   
l
If Secured Returns for Life Plus is still available to new Owners, you may elect to renew your participation in Secured Returns for Life Plus with a new GLB amount of $118,000 at the cost and terms available to new Owners.

EXAMPLE 5: Calculation of Benefits under WB Plan; Early Withdrawals.

l
Assume you are age 56 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2009, and that you choose to systematically withdraw the Maximum WB Amount annually.
   
l
On January 1, 2009:
   
l
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is zero because you have not passed your first Contract Anniversary after your 59th birthday
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is zero [4% of your Lifetime Income Base].
l
Your Bonus Base is $100,000 [the amount of your initial Purchase Payment]. Since you are taking withdrawals each Contract Year, you do not receive any bonus credits.
   
l
On December 31, 2009, after your first systematic withdrawal of $5,000, your Maximum WB Amount:
   
l
Your Account Value is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal [$5,000].
l
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $95,000 [$100,000-$5,000].
l
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is zero because you have not passed your first Contract Anniversary after your 59th birthday.
l
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
l
Assume you take only systematic withdrawals of $5,000 for a total of 3 years. Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments. On December 1, 2011, you celebrate your 59th birthday. On January 1, 2012:
   
l
Your Account Value has been reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals [$15,000].
l
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawal, is $85,000 [$100,000-($5,000 x 3)].
l
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount in any Contract Year.
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is set at $85,000 [an amount equal to the RGLB amount on your first Contract Anniversary after your 59th birthday].
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $3,400 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are less than 65 years old].
l
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
l
Assume you elect to take only annual systematic withdraws of no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount [$3,400] for an additional 20 years. Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments, and that your Account Value reduces to zero. On December 31, 2031:
   
l
Your Account Value equals zero.
l
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals, is $17,000 [85,000 – ($3,400 x 20)]
l
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than the Maximum WB Amount in any Contract Year.
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $85,000 because you did not withdraw more than the Maximum WB for Life Amount in any Contract Year.
l
Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years.
   
 
Even though your rights under the annuity Contract terminated when the Account Value became zero, we will continue to make payments to you. At this point, however, you must choose between:
   
(1)
withdrawing the Maximum WB for Life Amount each year until you die or
(2)
withdrawing your Maximum WB Amount each year until your RGLB amount is reduced to zero.
   
l
Assume you elect to take annual payments of your Maximum WB for Life Amount. Therefore you will continue to receive $3,400 per year as long as you are alive. If you die before your RGLB amount is reduced to $0, your beneficiary will receive $5,000 per year (your Maximum WB Amount) until your RGLB amount is reduced to zero.

EXAMPLE 6: Calculation of Benefits under WB Plan with Subsequent Purchase Payments; Lifetime Withdrawals.

l
Assume you are age 60 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2009, and that you choose to systematically withdraw the Maximum WB for Life Amount annually.
   
l
On January 1, 2009:
   
l
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 60].
l
Your Bonus Base is $100,000 [the amount of your initial Purchase Payment]. Since you are taking withdrawals each Contract Year, you do not receive any bonus credits.
   
l
On December 31, 2009, after your first systematic withdrawal of $4,000:
   
l
Your Account Value is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal [$4,000].
l
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $96,000 [$100,000-$4,000].
l
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
l
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
l
Assume you take only annual systematic withdrawals of $4,000 for a total of 4 years. Assume you make a subsequent Purchase Payment of $50,000, in your 4th Contract Year. Assume also that, immediately before the subsequent Purchase Payment, your Account Value was $80,000. On December 31, 2012:
   
l
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals and increased by the subsequent Purchase Payment, is $134,000 [$100,000 - ($4,000 x 4) + $50,000].
l
Your GLB Base, increased by the subsequent Purchase Payment, is $150,000.
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is $7,500 [5% of your new GLB Base]
l
Your Lifetime Income Base, increased by the subsequent Purchase Payment, is $150,000.
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $6,000 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base]
l
Your Bonus Base, increased by the subsequent Purchase Payment, is $150,000.
   
 
You may increase your annual systematic withdrawals to $6,000 without any effect on your future lifetime benefits.
   
l
Assume you elect to take only annual systematic withdraws of no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount [$6,000] for an additional 20 years. Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments, and that your Account Value reduces to zero. On December 31, 2032:
   
l
Your Account Value equals zero.
l
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals is $14,000 [$134,000 – ($6,000 x 20)].
l
Your GLB Base is still $150,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is $150,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount in any Contract Year.
l
Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years.
   
 
Even though your rights under the annuity Contract terminated when the Account Value became zero, we will continue to make payments to you. At this point, however, you must choose between:
   
(1)
withdrawing the Maximum WB for Life Amount each year until you die or
(2)
withdrawing your Maximum WB Amount each year until your RGLB amount is reduced to zero.
   
l
Assume you elect to take annual payments of your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,000. Therefore, you will continue to receive $6,000 per year as long as you are alive. If you die before your RGLB amount is reduced to $0, your beneficiary will receive $7,500 per year (your Maximum WB Amount) until your RGLB amount is reduced to zero.

EXAMPLE 7: Withdrawals under WB Plan Exceeding Maximum WB Amount.

l
Assume you are age 63 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2009. Assume that your Designated Fund had poor investment performance, losing 2% a year over the course of the Contract. On January 1, 2009:
   
l
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 63].
l
Your Bonus Base is $100,000 [the amount of your initial Purchase Payment]. Since you are taking withdrawals each Contract Year, you do not receive any bonus credits.
   
l
On December 31, 2009, after you take a withdrawal of $6,000, your Account Value is $92,000:
   
l
Your RGLB amount is reduced to $92,000 [the lesser of (1) your current RGLB amount minus the withdrawal [$100,000-$6,000] and (2) your new Account Value [$92,000]].
l
Your GLB Base is reduced to $92,000 [the lesser of (1) your current GLB Base minus the excess withdrawal [$100,000 - ($6,000 - $5,000)] and (2) your new Account Value [$92,000]].
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is now $4,600 [5% of your GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is reduced to $92,000 [the lesser of (1) your current Lifetime Income Base minus the excess withdrawal [$100,000 - ($6,000 - $4,000)] and (2) your new Account Value [$92,000]].
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $3,680 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
l
Your Bonus Base is reduced to $92,000 [the lesser of (1) your current Bonus Base minus the excess withdrawal [$100,000 - ($6,000 - $5,000)] and (2) your new Account Value [$92,000]].
   
l
Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments, but you take annual systematic withdrawals of $6,000 for a total of 13 years. Due to the of poor investment performance of your Designated Fund, your Account Value is now $7,609. Because you have taken withdrawals in excess of your Maximum WB Amount, your RGLB amount is also now $7,609. Because you have taken withdrawals in excess of your Maximum WB Amount, your GLB Base is also now $7,609. Your Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $7,609, or $380. Because you have taken withdrawals in excess of your Maximum WB for Life Amount, your Lifetime Income Base is also now $7,609. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is 4% of $7,609, or $304. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years.
   
l
Assume your fund earns -2% in Contract Year 14, and that you take another $6,000 withdrawal. On December 31, 2022:
   
l
Your Account Value is $1,457.
l
Your RGLB amount is $1,457 [the lesser of (1) your current RGLB amount minus the withdrawal amount ($7,609 - $6,000) and (2) your new Account Value ($1,457)].
l
Your GLB Base is $1,457 [the lesser of (1) your current GLB Base minus the excess withdrawal [$7,609 – ($6,000 - $380)] and (2) your new Account Value [$1,457]].
l
Your Maximum WB Amount equals $73 [5% of your new GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is $1,457 [the lesser of (1) your current Lifetime Income Base minus the excess withdrawal [$7,609 - ($6,000 - $304)] and (2) your new Account Value [$1,457]].
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals $58 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
   
 
Because your GLB Base is greater than zero, you may take annual withdrawals up to the Maximum WB Amount until your RGLB amount becomes zero. Because your Lifetime Income Base is greater than zero, you may take annual withdrawals up to the Maximum WB for Life Amount until you die or annuitize. Any withdrawal you take that is greater than your Maximum WB Amount will reduce your GLB Base (and hence, give you a new, reduced Maximum WB Amount). Any withdrawal you take that is greater than your Maximum WB for Life Amount will reduce your Lifetime Income Base (and hence, give you a new, reduced Maximum WB for Life Amount).
   
 
If your Account Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal that does not exceed your Maximum WB for Life Amount, you must choose between:
   
(1)
withdrawing the Maximum WB for Life Amount each year until you die or
(2)
withdrawing your Maximum WB Amount each year until your RGLB amount is reduced to zero.
   
 
If your Account Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal that exceeds your Maximum WB for Life Amount but does not exceed your Maximum WB Amount, your Lifetime Income Base will become zero, but we will continue to pay your then current Maximum WB Amount each year until your RGLB is reduced to zero.
   
 
If your Account Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal that exceeds both your Maximum WB for Life Amount and your Maximum WB Amount, your Lifetime Income Base, your RGLB amount, and your GLB Base will all be reduced to zero, your Maximum WB for Life Amount and your Maximum WB Amount will both become zero, and no more benefits will be paid.

EXAMPLE 8: Step-up Elected under WB Plan.

l
Assume you are age 65 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2009, and that you choose to systematically withdraw the Maximum WB Amount annually. Assume that your Designated Fund had good investment performance, gaining 6% a year over the course of the Contract. On January 1, 2009:
   
l
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 65].
l
Your Bonus Base is $100,000 [the amount of your initial Purchase Payment]. Since you are taking withdrawals each Contract Year, you do not receive any bonus credits.
   
l
On December 31, 2009, after you take your first systematic withdrawal of $5,000, your Account Value is $101,000:
   
l
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $95,000 [$100,000-$5,000].
l
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base].
l
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
l
Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments, but you take systematic withdrawals of $5,000 for a total of 3 years. On December 31, 2011:
   
l
Your Account Value is $103,184.
l
Your RGLB amount is $85,000 [$100,000 - ($5,000 x 3)].
l
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base].
l
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
 
Because your Account Value is greater than your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, and your Lifetime Income Base, you may step-up your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, your Bonus Base, and your Lifetime Income Base each to an amount equal to your current Account Value. Assume you elect to step-up. On January 1, 2012*:
   
l
Your Account Value is $103,184.
l
Your RGLB amount is $103,184.
l
Your GLB Base is $103,184.
l
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,159 [5% of your new GLB Base].
l
Your Lifetime Income Base is $103,184.
l
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,159 [5% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
l
Your Bonus Base is $103,184.
   
*
Note: Assume instead that you elected to step-up sometime in 2012 after your withdrawal of $5,000 was taken and that your Account Value at the time of the step-up was $103,184. Your new Maximum WB Amount and new Maximum WB for Life amount of $5,159 would apply so that you could withdraw an additional $159 during the remainder of 2012 without exceeding your maximum amounts.

EXAMPLE 9: WB Election at Issue; Withdrawals Not Taken Immediately.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan at issue. Your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, your Lifetime Income Base (LIB), and your Bonus Base all equal $100,000. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $5,000. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your Lifetime Income Base, or $5,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $105,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $100,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $100,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000, and
(b)
your old LIB of $100,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $110,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $105,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $110,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $110,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $110,000, or $5,500.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $105,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $110,000, and
(b)
your old LIB of $105,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $110,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $110,000, or $5,500. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,500 in your third Contract Year. Your RGLB amount will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, so that it will equal $110,000 - $5,500, or $104,500. Your GLB Base will remain at $110,000, so your Maximum WB Amount will remain at 5% of $110,000, or $5,500. Your LIB will also remain at $110,000, so your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain at 5% of $110,000, or $5,500.
   
l
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $5,500 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2030. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your LIB is still $110,000. Therefore, you can continue to receive $5,500 per year as long as you are alive. Also, if there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 10: WB Election at Issue; Subsequent Purchase Payments made; Withdrawals Not Taken immediately.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan at issue. Your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, your Lifetime Income Base (LIB), and your Bonus Base all equal $100,000. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $5,000. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your Lifetime Income Base, or $5,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $105,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $100,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $100,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000, and
(b)
your old LIB of $100,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you make a Purchase Payment of $60,000 in your second Contract Year. Your RGLB amount, GLB Base, LIB, and Bonus Base are all increased by the amount of the Purchase Payment. Therefore, your RGLB amount, GLB Base, and LIB are all now equal to $105,000 plus $60,000 = $165,000. Your Bonus Base is now equal to $100,000 plus $60,000 = $160,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, the RGLB amount will be increased by $8,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $173,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $165,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $173,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $173,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $173,000, or $8,650.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $165,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $173,000, and
(b)
your old LIB of $165,000 plus the bonus amount of $8,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $173,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $173,000, or $8,650. Your Bonus Base remains at $160,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $8,650 in your third Contract Year. Your RGLB amount will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, so that it will equal $173,000 - $8,650, or $164,350. Your GLB Base will remain at $173,000, so your Maximum WB Amount will remain at 5% of $173,000, or $8,650. Your LIB will also remain at $173,000, so your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain at 5% of $173,000, or $8,650. Your Bonus Base will remain at $160,000.
   
l
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $8,650 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2030. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years. Your LIB is still $173,000. Therefore, you can continue to receive $8,650 per year as long as you are alive. Also, if there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 11: WB Election at Issue; Withdrawals Taken.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan at issue. Your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, your Lifetime Income Base (LIB), and your Bonus Base all equal $100,000. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $5,000. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your Lifetime Income Base, or $5,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $105,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $100,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $100,000, and

the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000, and

Therefore, your LIB is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,250 in your second Contract Year. Your RGLB amount will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, so that it will equal $105,000 - $5,250, or $99,750. Your GLB Base will remain at $105,000, so your Maximum WB Amount will remain at 5% of $105,000, or $5,250. Your LIB will also remain at $105,000, so your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain at 5% of $105,000, or $5,250. Since your withdrawal did not exceed your Maximum WB Amount, your Bonus Base will remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $104,750. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $105,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $104,750.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base remains at $105,000, and your Maximum WB Amount remains at 5% of $105,000, or $5,250.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $105,000, and

the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $104,750, and

Therefore, your LIB remains at $105,000, and your Maximum WB for Life Amount remains at 5% of $105,000, or $5,250.
 
Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $109,750. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $105,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $109,750.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $109,750, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $109,750, or $5,487.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $105,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $109,750, and
(b)
your old LIB of $105,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $109,750, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $109,750, or $5,487. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,487 in 2013. Also assume that you remain alive and continue to take annual withdrawals of $5,487 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2032. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years. Your LIB is still $109,750. Therefore, you can continue to receive $5,487 per year as long as you are alive. Also, if there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 12: WB Election at Issue; Excess Withdrawal Taken.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan at issue. Your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, your Lifetime Income Base (LIB), and your Bonus Base all equal $100,000. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $5,000. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your Lifetime Income Base, or $5,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $105,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $100,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $100,000, and

the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000, and

l
Assume that you take a withdrawal of $6,000 in your second Contract Year. This withdrawal exceeds both your Maximum WB Amount and your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,250. Assume that your Account Value equals $90,000 after you make this withdrawal. Your RGLB amount will be reduced to the lesser of:
(i)
your old RGLB amount of $105,000 minus the $6,000 withdrawal, and
(ii)
your Account Value of $90,000.
 
Therefore, your new RGLB amount is $90,000.
 
Your GLB Base will be reduced to the lesser of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $105,000 minus the $750 excess withdrawal, and
(ii)
your Account Value of $90,000.
 
Therefore, your new GLB Base is $90,000. Your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $90,000, or $4,500.
 
Your Bonus Base will be reduced to the lesser of:
(i)
your old Bonus Base of $100,000 minus the $750 excess withdrawal, and
(ii)
your Account Value of $90,000.
 
Therefore, your new Bonus Base is $90,000.
 
Your LIB will be reduced to the lesser of:
(i)
your old LIB of $105,000 minus the $750 excess withdrawal, and
(ii)
your Account Value of $90,000.
 
Therefore, your new LIB is $90,000. Your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $90,000, or $4,500.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, the RGLB amount will be increased by $4,500, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $94,500. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $90,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $94,500.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $94,500, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $94,500, or $4,725.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $90,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $94,500, and
(b)
your old LIB of $90,000 plus the bonus amount of $4,500.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $94,500, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $94,500, or $4,725. Your Bonus Base remains at $90,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, the RGLB amount will be increased by $4,500, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $99,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $94,500, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $99,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $99,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $99,000, or $4,950.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $94,500, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $99,000, and
(b)
your old LIB of $94,500 plus the bonus amount of $4,500.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $99,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $99,000, or $4,950. Your Bonus Base remains at $90,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $4,950 in 2013. Also assume that you remain alive and continue to take annual withdrawals of $4,950 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2032. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years. Your LIB is still $99,000. Therefore, you can continue to receive $4,950 per year as long as you are alive. Also, if there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan at issue. Your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, your Lifetime Income Base (LIB), and your Bonus Base all equal $100,000. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $5,000. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your Lifetime Income Base, or $5,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $105,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $100,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $105,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250.

your old LIB of $100,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $105,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $105,000, or $5,250. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $110,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $105,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $110,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $110,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $110,000, or $5,500.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $105,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $110,000, and
(b)
your old LIB of $105,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $110,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $110,000, or $5,500. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $115,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $110,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $115,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $115,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $115,000, or $5,750.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $115,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $115,000, and
(b)
your old LIB of $110,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $115,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $115,000, or $5,750. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that on January 2, 2012 your Account Value is $118,000. Since you have have passed your first Contract Anniversary and have not stepped-up within the past year, and since your Account Value is greater than both the GLB Base and the LIB, you may step up your WB plan guarantees. Assume that you do elect to step up. Your RGLB amount, your GLB Base, your LIB and your Bonus Base are all now equal to $118,000. Your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $118,000, or $5,900. Your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $118,000, or $5,900.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,900, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $123,900. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $118,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $123,900.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $123,900, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $123,900, or $6,195.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $118,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $123,900, and
(b)
your old LIB of $118,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,900.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $123,900, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $123,900, or $6,195. Your Bonus Base remains at $118,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,195 in your fifth Contract Year. Your RGLB amount will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, so that it will equal $123,900 - $6,195, or $117,705. Your GLB Base will remain at $123,900, so your Maximum WB Amount will remain at 5% of $123,900, or $6,195. Your LIB will also remain at $123,900, so your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain at 5% of $123,900, or $6,195. Your Bonus Base remains at $118,000.
   
l
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $6,195 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2032. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years. Your LIB is still $123,900. Therefore, you can continue to receive $6,195 per year as long as you are alive. Also, if there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 14: Switch from AB to WB; No Withdrawals under the AB Plan.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your GLB amount at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, your accrued bonus amount is $10,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $5,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, your accrued bonus amount is $15,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $10,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that while you are in your fourth Contract Year, you switch to the WB plan. Assume that you have not taken any withdrawals yet. Your RGLB amount is now equal to your old GLB amount of $100,000 plus your accrued bonus amount of $15,000, for a total of $115,000. Your GLB Base and your LIB are both set equal to the RGLB amount at the time of conversion to the WB plan. Therefore, both the GLB Base and the LIB are equal to $115,000. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $5,750. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your LIB, or $5,750. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000. Since you have switched to the WB plan, your accrued bonus amount becomes $0.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $120,000. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $115,000, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $120,000.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $120,000, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $120,000, or $6,000.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $115,000, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $120,000, and
(b)
your old LIB of $115,000 plus the bonus amount of $5,000.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $120,000, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $120,000, or $6,000. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,000 in your fifth Contract Year. Your RGLB amount will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, so that it will equal $120,000 - $6,000, or $114,000. Your GLB Base will remain at $120,000, so your Maximum WB Amount will remain at 5% of $120,000, or $6,000. Your LIB will also remain at $120,000, so your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain at 5% of $120,000, or $6,000. Your Bonus Base remains at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $6,000 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2032. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years. Your LIB is still $120,000. Therefore, you can continue to receive $6,000 per year as long as you are alive. Also, if there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 15: Switch from AB to WB; Withdrawals under the AB Plan.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your GLB amount at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, your accrued bonus amount is $10,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $5,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that on March 10, 2011 (in your third Contract Year), your Account Value is $80,000. Also assume that you take a withdrawal of $10,000 on this date. Therefore, your ending Account Value on March 10, 2011 is $70,000. Your GLB amount, Bonus Base, and accrued bonus amount are reduced proportionally to the amount withdrawn. Therefore, your new GLB amount is $100,000 x ($70,000 ÷ $80,000) = $87,500. Your new Bonus Base is $100,000 x ($70,000 ÷ $80,000) = $87,500. Your new accrued bonus amount is $10,000 x ($70,000 ÷ $80,000) = $8,750
   
l
Assume that while you are in your fourth Contract Year, you switch to the WB plan. Your RGLB amount is now equal to your old GLB amount of $87,500 plus your accrued bonus amount of $8,750, for a total of $96,250. Your GLB Base and your LIB are both set equal to the RGLB amount at the time of conversion to the WB plan. Therefore, both the GLB Base and the LIB are equal to $96,250. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $4,812. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your LIB, or $4,812. Your Bonus Base remains at $87,500. Since you have switched to the WB plan, your accrued bonus amount becomes $0.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, the RGLB amount will be increased by $4,375, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $100,625. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $96,250, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $100,625.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $100,625, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $100,625, or $5,031.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $96,250, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $100,625, and
(b)
your old LIB of $96,250 plus the bonus amount of $4,375.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $100,625, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $100,625, or $5,031. Your Bonus Base remains at $87,500.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,031 in your fifth Contract Year. Your RGLB amount will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, so that it will equal $100,625 - $5,031, or $95,594. Your GLB Base will remain at $100,625, so your Maximum WB Amount will remain at 5% of $100,625, or $5,031. Your LIB will also remain at $100,625, so your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain at 5% of $100,625, or $5,031. Your Bonus Base remains at $87,500.
   
l
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $5,031 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2032. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years. Your LIB is still $100,625. Therefore, you can continue to receive $5,031 per year as long as you are alive. Also, if there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 16: Switch from AB to WB; Step-up while in AB Plan.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your GLB amount at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, your accrued bonus amount is $10,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $5,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, your accrued bonus amount is $15,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $10,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that on January 2, 2012 your Account Value is $118,000. Since you have passed your first Contract Anniversary and have not stepped-up within the past year, and since your Account Value is greater than your GLB amount, you may elect to step up to a new ten year period, with a new GLB amount of $118,000. Assume that you do elect to step up. Your GLB amount is now equal to $118,000. Also, your Bonus Base is now equal to $118,000. Your AB plan "maturity date" is now January 2, 2022. Since your new GLB amount of $118,000 is greater than the sum of your old GLB amount of $100,000 plus your old accrued bonus amount of $15,000, your new accrued bonus amount is set equal to $0.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, your accrued bonus amount is $5,900, which equals $5,900 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $0. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $118,000.
   
l
Assume that while you are in your fifth Contract Year, you switch to the WB plan. Assume that you have not taken any withdrawals yet. Your RGLB amount is now equal to your old GLB amount of $118,000 plus your accrued bonus amount of $5,900, for a total of $123,900. Your GLB Base and your LIB are both set equal to the RGLB amount at the time of conversion to the WB plan. Therefore, both the GLB Base and the LIB are equal to $123,900. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $6,195. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your LIB, or $6,195. Your Bonus Base remains at $118,000. Since you have switched to the WB plan, your accrued bonus amount becomes $0.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fifth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2014, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,900, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $129,800. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $123,900, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $129,800.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $129,800, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $129,800, or $6,490.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $123,900, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $129,800, and
(b)
your old LIB of $123,900 plus the bonus amount of $5,900.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $129,800, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $129,800, or $6,490. Your Bonus Base remains at $118,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,490 in your sixth Contract Year. Your RGLB amount will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, so that it will equal $129,800 - $6,490, or $123,310. Your GLB Base will remain at $129,800, so your Maximum WB Amount will remain at 5% of $129,800, or $6,490. Your LIB will also remain at $129,800, so your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain at 5% of $129,800, or $6,490. Your Bonus Base remains at $118,000.
   
l
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $6,490 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2033. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years. Your LIB is still $129,800. Therefore, you can continue to receive $6,490 per year as long as you are alive. We will continue to charge the rider fee for as long as you are eligible to receive benefits under the WB Plan. The Owner can annuitize as long as there is a remaining Account Value, but if Account Value drops to zero, the Contract terminates.

EXAMPLE 17: Switch from AB to WB; Step-up while in AB Plan.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your GLB amount at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, your accrued bonus amount is $10,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $5,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, your accrued bonus amount is $15,000, which equals $5,000 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $10,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that on January 2, 2012 your Account Value is $112,000. Since you have passed your first Contract Anniversary and have not stepped-up within the past year, and since your Account Value is greater than your GLB amount, you may elect to step up to a new ten year period, with a new GLB amount of $112,000. Assume that you do elect to step up. Your GLB amount is now equal to $112,000. Also, your Bonus Base is now equal to $112,000. Your AB plan "maturity date" is now January 2, 2022. Since your new GLB amount of $112,000 is less than the sum of your old GLB amount of $100,000 plus your old accrued bonus amount of $15,000, your new accrued bonus amount is set equal to the sum of your old GLB amount of $100,000 plus your old accrued bonus amount of $15,000, less your new GLB amount of $112,000. Therefore, your new accrued bonus amount is $3,000.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2013, your accrued bonus amount is $8,600, which equals $5,600 (5% of the Bonus Base) plus your previous accrued bonus amount of $3,000. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $112,000.
   
l
Assume that while you are in your fifth Contract Year, you switch to the WB plan. Assume that you have not taken any withdrawals yet. Your RGLB amount is now equal to your old GLB amount of $112,000 plus your accrued bonus amount of $8,600, for a total of $120,600. Your GLB Base and your LIB are both set equal to the RGLB amount at the time of conversion to the WB plan. Therefore, both the GLB Base and the LIB are equal to $120,600. Your Maximum WB Amount equals 5% of your GLB Base, or $6,030. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals 5% of your LIB, or $6,030. Your Bonus Base remains at $112,000. Since you have switched to the WB plan, your accrued bonus amount becomes $0.
   
l
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fifth Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2014, the RGLB amount will be increased by $5,600, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Your new RGLB amount is now $126,200. Your GLB Base will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old GLB Base of $120,600, and
(ii)
your new RGLB amount of $126,200.
 
Therefore, your GLB Base is now $126,200, and your new Maximum WB Amount is 5% of $126,200, or $6,310.
 
Your LIB will now become the greater of:
(i)
your old LIB of $120,600, and
(ii)
the lesser of:
(a)
your new RGLB amount of $126,200, and
(b)
your old LIB of $120,600 plus the bonus amount of $5,600.
 
Therefore, your LIB is now $126,200, and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount is 5% of $126,200, or $6,310. Your Bonus Base remains at $112,000.
   
l
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,310 in your sixth Contract Year. Your RGLB amount will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, so that it will equal $126,200 - $6,310, or $119,890. Your GLB Base will remain at $126,200, so your Maximum WB Amount will remain at 5% of $126,200, or $6,310. Your LIB will also remain at $126,200, so your Maximum WB for Life Amount will remain at 5% of $126,200, or $6,310. Your Bonus Base remains at $112,000.
   
l
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $6,310 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2033. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0. Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Contract Years. Your LIB is still $126,200. Therefore, you can continue to receive $6,310 per year as long as you are alive. We will continue to charge the rider fee for as long as you are eligible to receive benefits under the WB Plan. The Owner can annuitize as long as there is a remaining Account Value, but if the Account Value drops to zero, the Contract terminates.

EXAMPLE 18: Calculation of Explicit Rider Charges under AB Plan.

l
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time. Assume that your Account Value increases at an annual rate of 5% per year throughout the next ten years. Also assume that you do not elect to step-up at any time.
   
l
On March 31, 2009, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life Plus is taken is $101,196.79. The charge deducted on March 31, 2009 is $126.50 ($101,196.79 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on March 31, 2009 is $101,070.29 ($101,196.79 - $126.50).
   
l
On June 30, 2009, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life Plus is taken is $102,307.23. The fee deducted on June 30, 2009 is $127.88 ($102,307.23 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on June 30, 2009 is $102,179.35 ($102,307.23 - $127.88).
   
l
On September 30, 2009, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life Plus is taken is $103,443.69. The fee deducted on September 30, 2009 is $129.30 ($103,443.69 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on September 30, 2009 is $103,314.39 ($103,443.69 - $129.30).
   
l
This pattern continues until the maturity date for your Benefit of January 1, 2019. On that date, your Account will be credited with a payment. If your current Account Value is less than your current GLB amount, then your Account will be credited with the difference between these two amounts. If your current Account Value is greater than your current GLB amount, then your Account will be credited with the sum of all of Secured Returns for Life Plus charges that have been made. Note that if Secured Returns for Life Plus was revoked or cancelled before the maturity date for your Benefit of January 1, 2019, then no Secured Returns for Life Plus credit will be made to your Account.
   
l
If Secured Returns for Life Plus is still available to new Owners, you may elect to renew your participation in Secured Returns for Life Plus with a new GLB amount equal to the ending January 1, 2019 Account Value at the cost and terms available to new Owners.

EXAMPLE 19: One Year Step-up elected under AB Plan.

l
Assume that you are age 65 at issue. Assume that you elect the AB plan. Your Guaranteed Living Benefit amount ("GLB amount") at issue and your Bonus Base at issue are both equal to $100,000 (your Purchase Payment amount). Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Contract Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your accrued bonus amount is $5,000, which equals 5% of the Bonus Base. Since no withdrawals have been taken, your GLB amount and your Bonus Base both remain at $100,000.
   
l
Assume that on January 1, 2010 your Account Value is $118,000. Since your Account Value is greater than your GLB amount, you may elect to step up to a new ten year period, with a new GLB amount of $118,000. Assume that you do elect to step up. Your GLB amount is now equal to $118,000. Also, your Bonus Base is now equal to $118,000. Your AB plan Maturity Date is now January 1, 2020. Since your new GLB amount of $118,000 is greater than the sum of your old GLB amount of $100,000 plus your old accrued bonus amount of $5,000, your new accrued bonus amount is set equal to $0.
   
l
Assume that you remain in the AB plan until it "matures" on January 1, 2020. Assume that you have taken no withdrawals since your Contract was issued. Your accrued bonus amount is $53,100 ($5,900 per year for nine years). Since your rider has "matured" in the AB plan, the accrued bonus amount becomes $0. Assume that your Account Value on January 1, 2020 is $112,000. Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $6,000, an amount equal to $6,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($118,000 - $112,000).
   
l
If Secured Returns for Life Plus is still available to new Owners, you may elect to renew your participation in Secured Returns for Life Plus with a new GLB amount of $118,000 at the cost and terms available to new Owners.

SUN LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK ("Sun Life (N.Y.)")

Sun Life Financial Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York and Philippine stock exchanges, is the ultimate corporate parent of Sun Life (N.Y.). Sun Life Financial ultimately controls Sun Life (N.Y.) through the following intervening company subsidiaries: Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Investments LLC, Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc., and Sun Life Global Investments Inc.

ADVERTISING AND SALES LITERATURE

As set forth in the Prospectus, the Company may refer to the following organizations (and others) in its marketing materials:

A.M. BEST'S RATING SYSTEM is designed to evaluate the various factors affecting the overall performance of an insurance company in order to provide an opinion as to an insurance company's relative financial strength and ability to meet its contractual obligations. The procedure includes both a quantitative and qualitative review of each company.

FITCH CREDIT RATING Company's Insurance Company Claims Paying Ability Rating is an independent evaluation by a nationally accredited rating organization of an insurance company's ability to meet its future obligations under the contracts and products it sells. The rating takes into account both quantitative and qualitative factors.

LIPPER VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS SERVICE is a publisher of statistical data covering the investment company industry in the United States and overseas. Lipper is recognized as the leading source of data on open-end and closed-end funds. Lipper currently tracks the performance of over 5,000 investment companies and publishes numerous specialized reports, including reports on performance and portfolio analysis, fee and expense analysis.

STANDARD & POOR'S insurance claims-paying ability rating is an opinion of an operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their terms.

VARDS (Variable Annuity Research Data Service) provides a comprehensive guide to variable annuity contract features and historical fund performance. The service also provides a readily understandable analysis of the comparative characteristics and market performance of funds inclusive in variable contracts.

MOODY'S Investors Services, Inc.'s insurance claims-paying rating is a system of rating an insurance company's financial strength, market leadership, and ability to meet financial obligations. The purpose of Moody's ratings is to provide investors with a simple system of gradation by which the relative quality of insurance companies may be noted.

STANDARD & POOR'S INDEX - broad-based measurement of changes in stock-market conditions based on the average performance of 500 widely held common stocks; commonly known as the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500). The selection of stocks, their relative weightings to reflect differences in the number of outstanding shares, and publication of the index itself are services of Standard & Poor's Corporation, a financial advisory, securities rating, and publishing firm. The index tracks 400 industrial company stocks, 20 transportation stocks, 40 financial company stocks, and 40 public utilities.

NASDAQ-OTC Price Index - this index is based on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) and represents all domestic over-the-counter stocks except those traded on exchanges and those having only one market maker, a total of some 3,500 stocks. It is market value-weighted and was introduced with a base of 100.00 on February 5, 1971.

DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE (DJIA) - price-weighted average of 30 actively traded blue chip stocks, primarily industrials, but including American Express Company and American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Prepared and Published by Dow Jones & Company, it is the oldest and most widely quoted of all the market indicators. The average is quoted in points, not dollars.

MORNINGSTAR, Inc. is an independent financial publisher offering comprehensive statistical and analytical coverage of open-end and closed-end funds and variable annuities. This coverage for mutual funds includes, among other information, performance analysis rankings, risk rankings (e.g. aggressive, moderate or conservative), and "style box" matrices. Style box matrices display, for equity funds, the investment philosophy and size of the companies in which the fund invests and, for fixed-income funds, interest rate sensitivity and credit quality of the investment instruments.

IBBOTSON ASSOCIATES, Inc. is a consulting firm that provides a variety of historical data, including total return, capital appreciation and income, on the stock market as well as other investment asset classes, and inflation. This information will be used primarily for comparative purposes and to illustrate general financial planning principles.

In its advertisements and other sales literature for the Variable Account and the Funds, the Company intends to illustrate the advantages of the Contracts in a number of ways:

DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING ILLUSTRATIONS. These illustrations will generally discuss the price-leveling effect of making regular investments in the same Sub-Accounts over a period of time, to take advantage of the trends in market prices of the portfolio securities purchased by those Sub-Accounts.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM. A service provided by the Company, through which a Participant may take any distribution allowed by Internal Revenue Code Section 401 (a) (9) in the case of Qualified Contracts, or permitted under Internal Revenue Code Section 72 in the case of Non-Qualified Contracts, by way of a series of partial withdrawals. Withdrawals under this program may be fully or partially includible in income and may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Consult your tax advisor.

THE COMPANY'S AND THE FUNDS' CUSTOMERS. Sales literature for the Variable Account and the Funds may refer to the number of clients which they serve.

THE COMPANY'S  ASSETS, SIZE. The Company may discuss its general financial condition (see, for example, the references to Standard & Poor's, Fitch and A.M. Best Company above); it may refer to its assets; and it may discuss its relative size and/or ranking among companies in the industry or among any sub-classification of those companies, based upon recognized evaluation criteria. For example, at December 31, 1998, the Company was the 36th largest U.S. life insurance company based upon overall assets.

COMPOUND INTEREST ILLUSTRATIONS. These will emphasize several advantages of the variable annuity contract. For example, but not by way of limitation, the literature may emphasize the potential savings through tax deferral; the potential advantage of the Variable Account over the Fixed Account; and the compounding effect when a participant makes regular deposits to his or her account.

The Company may use hypothetical illustrations of the benefits of tax deferral, including but not limited to the following chart:

The chart below assumes an initial investment of $10,000 which remains fully invested for the entire time period, an 8% annual return, and a 33% combined federal and state income tax rate. It compares how 3 different investments might fare over 10, 20, and 30 years. The first example illustrates an investment in a non-tax-deferred account and assumes that taxes are paid annually out of that account. The second example illustrates how the same investment would grow in a tax-deferred investment, such as an annuity. The third example illustrates the net value of the tax-deferred investment after paying taxes on the full account value.

THIS ILLUSTRATION IS HYPOTHETICAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE PROJECTED PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT OR ANY OF ITS INVESTMENT OPTIONS. THE ILLUSTRATION DOES NOT REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF ANY CHARGES OR FEES RELATED TO PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, MORTALITY AND EXPENSE, OR ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION. TAXES ON EARNINGS WITHIN AN ANNUITY ARE DUE UPON WITHDRAWAL. WITHDRAWALS MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO SURRENDER CHARGES AND, IF MADE PRIOR TO AGE 59½, A 10% FEDERAL PENALTY TAX.

TAX-DEFERRED ACCUMULATION:

In general, individuals who own annuity contracts are not taxed on increases in the value of their annuity contracts until some form of distribution is made under the contract. As a result, the annuity contract would benefit from tax deferral during the contract's accumulation phase; this would have the effect of permitting an investment in an annuity contract to grow more rapidly that a comparable investment under which increases in value are taxed on a current basis.

In reports or other communications to you or in advertising or sales materials, we may also describe the effects of tax-deferred compounding on the Variable Account's investment returns. We may illustrate these effects in charts or graphs and from time to time may include comparisons of returns under the Contract or in general on a tax-deferred basis, with the returns on a taxable basis. Different tax rates may be assumed. Any such illustrative chart or graph would show accumulations on an initial investment or Purchase Payment, assuming a given amount (including the applicable interest credit), hypothetical gross annual returns compounded annually, and a stated rate of return. The values shown for the taxable investment would not include any deduction for management fees or other expenses, but would assume the annual deduction of federal and state taxes from investment returns. The values shown for the Contract in a chart would reflect the deduction of Contract expenses, such as the mortality and expense risk charge, the 0.15% administrative charge, the 0.20% distribution fee, and the $30 annual Account Fee. In addition, the values shown would assume that the Participant has not surrendered his or her Contract or made any partial surrenders until the end of the period shown. The chart would assume a full surrender at the end of the period shown and the payment of federal and state taxes, at a rate of not more than 33%, on the amount in excess of the Purchase Payments.

In developing illustrative tax deferral charts, we will observe these general principles:

l
The assumed rate of earnings will be realistic.
l
The illustrative chart will accurately depict the effect of all fees and charges or provide a narrative that prominently discloses all fees and charges under the Contract.
l
Charts comparing accumulation values for tax-deferred and non-tax-deferred investments will depict the implications of any surrender.
l
A narrative accompanying the chart will prominently disclose that there may be a 10% tax penalty on a surrender by a Participant who has not reached age 59½ at the time of surrender.

The rates of return illustrated in any chart would be hypothetical and are not an estimate or guaranty of performance. Actual tax returns may vary among Participants.

CALCULATIONS

EXAMPLE OF VARIABLE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE CALCULATION

Suppose the net asset value of a Fund share at the end of the current valuation period is $18.38; at the end of the immediately preceding valuation period was $18.32; the Valuation Period is one day; and no dividends or distributions caused Fund shares to go "ex-dividend" during the current Valuation Period. $18.38 ÷ $18.32 = 1.00327511. Subtracting the one day risk factor for mortality and expense risks and the administrative expense charge of 0.00005815 (the daily equivalent of the current maximum charge of 2.10% on an annual basis) gives a net investment factor of 1.00321696.  If the value of the variable accumulation unit for the immediately preceding valuation period had been 14.5645672, the value for the current valuation period would be 14.6114208 (14.5645672 x 1.00321696).

EXAMPLE OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNIT CALCULATION

Suppose the circumstances of the first example exist, and the value of an annuity unit for the immediately preceding valuation period had been 12.3456789.  If the first variable annuity payment is determined by using an annuity payment based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year, the value of the annuity unit for the current valuation period would be 12.3845294 (12.3456789 x 1.00322814 (the Net Investment Factor based on the daily equivalent of maximum annuity phase charge of 1.70% on an annual basis) x 0.99991902). 0.99991902 is the factor, for a one day Valuation Period, that neutralizes the assumed interest rate of 3% per year used to establish the Annuity Payment Rates found in certain Contracts.

EXAMPLE OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT CALCULATION

Suppose that a Participant Account is credited with 8,765.4321 variable accumulation units of a particular Sub-Account but is not credited with any fixed accumulation units; that the variable accumulation unit value and the annuity unit value for the particular Sub-Account for the valuation period which ends immediately preceding the annuity commencement date are 14.5645672 and 12.3456789 respectively; that the annuity payment rate for the age and option elected is $6.78 per $1,000; and that the annuity unit value on the day prior to the second variable annuity payment date is 12.3845294.  The first variable annuity payment would be $865.57 (8,765.4321 x 14.5645672 x 6.78 ÷ 1,000).  The number of annuity units credited would be 70.1112 ($865.57 ÷ 12.3456789) and the second variable annuity payment would be $868.29 (70.1112 x 12.3845294).

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT

We offer the Contract on a continuous basis through the general distributor and principal underwriter of the Contracts, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon").  Clarendon also acts as the general distributor of certain other annuity contracts issued by Sun Life (U.S.) and its subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York ("Sun Life (N.Y.) "), and variable life insurance contracts issued by Sun Life (U.S.).

In addition to commissions, the Company may, from time to time, pay or allow additional promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation. The Company reserves the right to offer these additional incentives only to certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell during specified time periods certain minimum amounts of Contracts or Certificates or other contracts offered by the Company.  Promotional incentives may change at any time.

Commissions will not be paid to selling agents with respect to Participant Accounts established for the personal account of employees of the Company or any of its affiliates, or of persons engaged in the distribution of the Contract, or of immediate family members of such employees or persons. In addition, commissions may be waived or reduced in connection with certain transactions described in the Prospectus under the heading “Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates.”

CUSTODIAN

SUN LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.))
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York (“the Company”) engages in the sale of individual and group fixed and variable annuity contracts, individual and group life insurance, group disability, group dental and group stop loss insurance in the State of New York.  These products are distributed through individual insurance agents, financial planners, insurance brokers and broker-dealers to both the tax-qualified and non-tax-qualified markets.  The Company's fixed and variable annuity contracts contain a fixed investment option, where interest is paid at a guaranteed rate for a specified period of time, and withdrawals made before the end of the specified period may be subject to a market value adjustment that can increase or decrease the amount of the withdrawal proceeds (the “fixed investment option period”).

The Company is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (“Sun Life U.S.”).  The Company is also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. (“SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings”) and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Inc. (“SLF”), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  SLF and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as “Sun Life Financial.”

Effective December 31, 2007, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (“SLOC”), an affiliate, under which SLOC will fund a portion of the statutory reserves required by New York Regulation 147, which is substantially similar to Actuarial Guideline 38 (“AXXX reserves”), as adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“the NAIC”), attributable to certain individual universal life (“UL”) policies sold by the Company.  Under the agreement, the Company ceded, and SLOC assumed, on a funds withheld 90% coinsurance basis, certain in-force policies at December 31, 2007.  Future new business also will be reinsured under this agreement.

Effective September 27, 2007, Sun Life U.S. provided a full and unconditional guarantee (the “guarantee”) of the Company's obligation related to its contracts’ fixed investment option period for policies currently in-force or sold on or after that date.  The guarantee has relieved the Company of its obligation to file annual, quarterly, and current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K.

Effective May 31, 2007, Sun Life Financial completed its acquisition of Employee Benefits Group (“EBG”) from Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth”).  Also effective May 31, 2007, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Sun Life and Health Insurance Company (U.S.) (“SLHIC”), one of the acquired companies (formerly named Genworth Life and Health Insurance Company), through which the New York issued business of SLHIC was transferred to the Company.  These agreements include a 100% coinsurance agreement for all existing and future new business issued in New York, a renewal rights agreement under which the Company has exclusive rights to renew in-force business assumed under the reinsurance agreement and an administrative service agreement under which the Company has agreed to assume direct responsibility for all sales and administration of existing and new business issued in New York (collectively, “the SLHIC asset transfer”).  These agreements, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” were treated as a transfer of net assets between entities under common control.  The Company paid $40 million of total consideration to SLHIC.  SLHIC transferred assets at a carrying value of approximately $72 million, including $38.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles, as well as policyholder and other liabilities of approximately $32 million to the Company.  The Group Protection Segment of the Company reflects a significant increase in business as a result of these agreements.  These agreements have allowed the Company to expand its product offerings to include group dental insurance.

In 2006, the Company organized a subsidiary, SLNY Private Placement Investment Company I, LLC, to serve as an unregistered variable investment trust in support of the Company's private placement variable universal life and variable annuity business activities.  This trust remains inactive as of December 31, 2007.


 
 

 

SUN LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.))
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

General (continued)

The Company had a greater than or equal to 20%, but less than 50%, interest in two variable interest entities (“VIEs”) at December 31, 2007.  The Company is a creditor in one trust and one limited liability company.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to both VIEs is the investments’ carrying value, which was $9.2 million at December 31, 2007.  The investments in these two VIEs mature in October 2009 and May 2017.  As the Company will not absorb a majority of the VIEs’ expected losses or receive a majority of the expected returns, the Company is not required to consolidate these VIEs, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (revised December 2003)" (“FIN 46(R)”).

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for stock life insurance companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  The most significant estimates are those used in determining fair value of financial instruments, goodwill, deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), value of business acquired (“VOBA”), the liabilities for future contract and policyholder benefits and other-than-temporary impairments of investments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, equity securities, debt, loan commitments and financial guarantees.  These instruments involve credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation.  The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, commercial paper, money market investments and short-term bank participations.  All such investments have maturities of three months or less when purchased and are considered cash equivalents for purposes of reporting cash flows.

Investments

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”  At the time of purchase, fixed maturity securities are classified based on the Company's intent as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale.  In order for a security to be classified as held-to-maturity, the Company must have positive intent and ability to hold the security to maturity.  Securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.  Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading.  Trading securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in market value reported as a component of net investment income.  Securities that do not meet the held-to-maturity or trading criterion are classified as available-for-sale.  Included with available-for-sale fixed maturities are mortgage-backed securities in the To Be Announced (“TBA”) form.  The Company records TBA purchases on the trade date and the corresponding payable is recorded as an outstanding liability in payable for investments purchased until the settlement date of the transaction.  Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses reported in other comprehensive income.  The Company does not typically invest in trading securities and its investment portfolios at December 31, 2007 and 2006 do not include any fixed maturity trading securities.

(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.))
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investments (continued)

The Company determines the fair value of its publicly-traded fixed maturities using four primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, independent dealer quotes, pricing matrices, and pricing models.  Prices are first sought from third-party pricing services; the remaining unpriced securities are priced using one of the remaining three methods.  Third-party pricing services derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities with adjustments for trading volumes and market observable information through the reporting date.  In the event that there are no recent market trades, pricing services and brokers may use pricing matrices and models to develop a security price based on future expected cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate using collateral performance and vintages.

Structured securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), and asset-backed securities (“ABS”), are priced using a matrix, fair value model or independent broker quotations.  CMBS securities, which are a subset of the Company's CMO holdings, are priced using the last sale price of the day or a broker quote, if no sales were transacted that day.  Other types of CMO, and ABS, are priced using matrices, models or independent broker quotations.  Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.  In addition, estimates of expected future prepayments are factors in determining the price of ABS, MBS, CMBS, and CMOs.  These estimates are based on the underlying collateral and structure of the security, as well as prepayment speeds previously experienced in the market at interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

For privately-placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated using matrices, which take into account credit spreads for publicly-traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, prepayment and liquidity characteristics.  A portion of privately-placed fixed maturities are also priced using market prices or dealer quotes.  The fair values of mortgages are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

The Company’s ability to liquidate positions in privately-placed fixed securities and mortgages could be impacted to a significant degree by the lack of an actively traded market.  Although the Company believes that its estimates reasonably reflect the fair value of those instruments, its key assumptions about risk-free interest rates, risk premiums, performance of underlying collateral (if any) and other factors may not reflect those of an active market.

The Company performs a monthly analysis on the prices received from third parties to assess if the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value.  The process is both quantitative and qualitative and includes back testing of recent trades, review of key assumptions such as spreads, duration, credit rating, and on-going review of third-party pricing services methodologies.  In the event that a more appropriate fair value is justified, the price received from a third-party pricing services is adjusted accordingly.   The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated willing parties using inputs, including estimates and assumptions, a market participant would utilize.

The Company's accounting policy for impairment requires recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment write-down on a security if it is determined that the Company anticipates that it will be unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual obligations of the security.  Additionally, in the event that securities that are expected to be sold before the fair value of the security recovers to amortized cost, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is also taken.

Some structured securities, typically those rated single A or below, are subject to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.  99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continued to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets” (“EITF 99-20”).  EITF 99-20 requires the Company to periodically update its best estimate of cash flows over the life of the security.  In the event that the present value of the estimated cash flows is less than amortized cost, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is recorded.  Estimating future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third parties, along with assumptions and judgments about the future performance of the underlying collateral.

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investments (continued)

Impairments are classified as either credit-related or interest-related.  The Company categorizes impairments as credit-related if it anticipates that the issuers will be unable to pay all principal and interest amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the security or if the decline in fair value of the security is driven by issuer-specific credit events.  The Company characterizes impairments as interest-related if the depression in fair value of the security was due to changes in interest or general credit spread widening and for which the Company has determined it no longer has the intent or ability to hold a security until recovery to amortized cost.  Once an other-than-temporary impairment charge has been recorded, the Company continues to review the other-than-temporarily impaired securities for additional impairment.  The net realized loss is recorded in the income statement as the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost of the security.

The Company incurred realized losses totaling $4.8 million, $0.8 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for other-than-temporary impairments.  Of the $4.8 million in realized losses for other-than-temporary impairments for the year ended December 31, 2007, all impairments were deemed to be credit-related.

The Company discontinues the accrual of income on its holdings for issuers that are in default.  Investment income would not have increased materially for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 if these holdings had been performing.

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of provisions for estimated losses.  Mortgage loans acquired at a premium or discount are carried at amortized values, net of provisions for estimated losses.  Loans include commercial first mortgage loans and are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States.  Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 75% of each property’s value at the time that the original loan is made.

A mortgage loan is recognized as impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  Measurement of impairment is based on the lower of the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or on the loan’s observable market price.  A specific valuation allowance is established if the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded amount.  Loans are also charged against the allowance when determined to be uncollectible.  The allowance is based on a continuing review of the loan portfolio, past loss experience and current economic conditions, which may affect the borrower’s ability to pay.  While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the evaluation.

Policy loans are carried at the amount of the outstanding principal balance.  The loans are collateralized by the respective insurance policy and do not exceed the excess of the net cash surrender value of the policy.

Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are recognized in operations at the date of sale and are determined using the average cost method.  When an impairment of a specific available-for-sale investment is determined to be other-than-temporary, a realized investment loss is recorded.  Changes in the provision for estimated losses on mortgage loans and real estate are included in net realized investment gains and losses.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Investments are placed in a non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower's financial condition, after giving consideration to economic and business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of principal and interest is doubtful.  When an investment is placed in non-accrual status, all interest accrued is reversed against current period interest income.  Interest accruals are resumed on such investments only when the investments have performed on a sustained basis for a reasonable period of time and when, in the judgment of management, the investments are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs consist of commissions, underwriting and other costs, which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business.  Acquisition costs related to investment-type contracts, primarily deferred annuity, universal life and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”), are deferred and amortized with interest in proportion to the present value of estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts.  Estimated gross profits are composed of net investment income, net realized investment gains and losses, life and variable annuity fees, surrender charges, interest credited, policyholder benefits and direct variable administrative expenses.

Estimating future gross profit is a complex process requiring considerable judgment and the forecasting of events into the future based on historical information and actuarial assumptions.  These assumptions are subject to an annual review process.  Changes in any of the assumptions that serve to increase or decrease the estimated future gross profits will cause the amortization of DAC to decrease or increase, respectively, in the current period.  During 2007 and 2006, changes in estimated future gross profits were driven by recent experience and expectations of future performance and are related mainly to changes in lapse assumptions, future growth rates of capital markets assumptions, and expense assumptions.  Changes in these assumptions resulted in (a decrease) an increase in DAC amortization of $(3.3) million and $4.7 million for the years ended December, 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The amortization is reviewed regularly and adjusted, as appropriate, retrospectively when the Company records actual profits and revises its estimate of future gross profits to be realized from this group of products, including realized gains and losses from investments.

Although recovery of DAC is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be recovered from future profits.  The amount of DAC considered recoverable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the future estimates of gross profits are reduced.

DAC is also adjusted for amounts relating to unrealized investment gains and losses.  This adjustment, net of tax, is included with unrealized investment gains or losses that are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.  DAC was increased (decreased) by $11.8 million and $(0.5) million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, relating to this adjustment.

Value of Business and Customer Renewals Acquired

VOBA represents the actuarially determined present value of projected future gross profits from the in-force policies included in the SLHIC asset transfer at May 31, 2007.  This amount is amortized in proportion to the projected premium income over the period to the first renewal of the transferred business.

A portion of the assets that were transferred to the Company under the SLHIC asset transfer are the value of customer renewals acquired (“VOCRA”).  VOCRA represents the actuarially determined present value of projected future profits arising from these in-force policies acquired at May 31, 2007 to these policies’ next renewal dates.  This amount is amortized in proportion to the projected premium income over the period from the first renewal date to the end of the projected life of the policies.

Other Assets

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements, which are included in other assets, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range from 3 to 10 years.  Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Policy Liabilities and Accruals

Future contract and policy benefit liabilities include amounts reserved for future policy benefits payable upon contingent events as well as liabilities for unpaid claims due as of the statement date.  Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force.

Policy reserves for annuity contracts include liabilities held for group pension and payout annuity payments and liabilities held for product guarantees on variable annuity products, such as guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”).  Reserves for pension and payout annuity contracts are calculated using the best-estimate interest and decrement assumptions.  Loss recognition testing is done periodically to make sure that these assumptions remain adequate.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, no additional reserves were deemed required as a result of the loss recognition testing.  Reserves for GMDB are calculated according to the methodology of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “AICPA”) Statement of Position 03-1, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts” (“SOP 03-1”), whereby the expected benefits provided by the guarantees are spread over the duration of the contract in proportion to the benefit assessments.

Policy reserves for UL contracts are held for benefit coverages that are not fully provided for in the policy account value.  These include rider coverages and conversions from group policies.

Policy reserves for group life and health contracts are calculated using standard actuarial methods recognized by the American Academy of Actuaries.  For the tabular reserves, discount rates are based on the Company’s earned investment yield and the morbidity and mortality tables used are standard industry tables modified to reflect the Company’s actual experience when appropriate.  In particular, for the Company’s group known claim reserves, the mortality and morbidity tables for the early durations of claims are based exclusively on the Company’s experience, incorporating factors such as age at disability, sex and elimination periods.  These reserves are computed at amounts that, with interest compounded annually at assumed rates, are expected to meet the Company’s future obligations.

Liabilities for unpaid claims consist of the estimated amount payable for claims reported but not yet settled and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported.  The amount reported is based upon historical experience, adjusted for trends and current circumstances.  Management believes that the recorded liability is sufficient to provide for the associated claims adjustment expenses.  Revisions of these estimates are included in operations in the year such refinements are determined.

Contractholder deposit funds consist of policy values that accrue to the holders of universal life-type contracts and investment-related products such as deferred annuities.  The liabilities consist of deposits received plus interest credited, less accumulated policyholder charges, assessments, partial withdrawals and surrenders.  The liabilities are not reduced by surrender charges.

Revenue and Expenses

Premiums for traditional individual life and annuity products are considered earned revenue when due.  Premiums related to group disability insurance and group stop loss are recognized as earned revenue pro-rata over the contract period.  The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums.  Revenue from universal-type and investment-related products includes charges for cost of insurance (mortality), initiation and administration of the policy, and surrender charges.  Revenue is recognized when the charges are assessed, except that any portion of an assessment that relates to services to be provided in future years is deferred and recognized over the period during which the services are provided.

Benefits and expenses related to traditional life, annuity and disability contracts, including group policies, are recognized when incurred in a manner designed to match them with related premium revenue and to spread income recognition over the expected life of the policy.  For universal life-type and investment-type contracts, expenses include interest credited to policyholders’ accounts and death benefits in excess of account values, which are recognized as incurred.

Other Operating Expenses

Operating expenses primarily represent allocated compensation and general and administrative expenses.  Management believes intercompany expenses are calculated on a reasonable basis; however, these amounts may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would be incurred if the Company operated on a stand-alone basis.

Income Taxes

The Company will participate in a consolidated federal income tax return with Sun Life U.S. and other affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The Company filed a stand-alone federal income tax return for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Deferred income taxes are recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  These differences primarily result from policy reserves, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or losses on investments.

Separate Accounts

The Company has established separate accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing variable benefits.  Contracts for which funds are invested in separate accounts include variable life insurance and individual qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts.  Assets and liabilities of the separate accounts, representing net deposits and accumulated net investment earnings, less fees, held primarily for the benefit of contractholders, are shown as separate captions in the consolidated financial statements.  Assets held in the separate accounts are carried at fair value and the investment risk of such securities is retained by the contractholder.  The activity of the separate accounts is not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements except for: (1) the fees the Company receives, which are assessed periodically and recognized as revenue when assessed; and, (2) the activity related to the GMDB, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (“GMAB”) and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”) which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, and recognized an increase of $38 thousand in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and related net interest, and an offsetting decrease in its January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” requiring all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value and permits entities to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize servicing rights in proportion to, and over the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment or the need for an increased obligation.  The option to subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value allows entities which utilize derivative instruments to hedge their servicing rights to account for such hedging relationships at fair value and avoid the complications of hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  SFAS No. 156 was effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.”  This statement amended SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”  The Company began applying SFAS No. 155 to all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event beginning January 1, 2007.  The election did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

In September 2005, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 05-1, “Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts” (“SOP 05-1”).  SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts.  The adoption of SOP 05-1 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value (the “FV option”).  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and all interim periods within those fiscal years.

As of January 1, 2008, the Company has adopted the FV option for all available-for-sale fixed maturity securities attributable to certain life, health and annuity products.  At December 31, 2007, such available-for-sale securities had an amortized cost of $1,118 million and a fair value of $1,113 million.  The adoption of the FV option does not relieve the Company from its obligation to monitor those available-for-sale securities that are in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2007, which the Company will continue to do through its current portfolio monitoring process.

The FV option adoption will result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, DAC, VOBA, deferred tax asset and certain other liabilities.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of the effects of this adoption.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted (continued)

SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (“Level 1, 2 and 3”).  Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  SFAS No. 157 requires that a fair value measurement technique include an adjustment for risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model, if market participants would also include such an adjustment.  Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will focus on the inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and the effects of the measurements in the financial statements.

The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and are to be applied prospectively, except for changes in fair value measurements that result from the initial application of SFAS No. 157, which are to be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption.  Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 and applied the provisions of the statement prospectively to assets and liabilities measured and disclosed at fair value.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). This statement replaces SFAS No. 141 and establishes the principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination: (a) measures and recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity, (b) measures and recognizes positive goodwill acquired or a gain from bargain purchase (negative goodwill), and (c) determines the disclosure information that is useful to users of financial statements in evaluating the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Some of the significant changes to the existing accounting guidance on business combinations made by SFAS No. 141(R) include the following:

• 
Most of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree shall be measured at their acquisition-date fair values rather than SFAS No. 141’s requirement to allocate the cost of an acquisition to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values;
   
• 
Acquisition-related costs incurred by the acquirer shall be expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred rather than included in the cost of the acquired entity;
   
• 
Goodwill shall be measured as the excess of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of any contingent consideration, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity, over the fair values of the acquired identifiable net assets, rather than measured as the excess of the cost of the acquired entity over the estimated fair values of the acquired identifiable net assets;

• 
Contractual pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at their acquisition date fair values and noncontractual pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at their acquisition date fair values only if it is more likely than not that the contingency gives rise to an asset or liability, whereas SFAS No. 141 generally permitted the deferred recognition of pre-acquisition contingencies until the recognition criteria of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” were met; and
   
• 
Contingent consideration shall be recognized at the acquisition date rather than when the contingency is resolved and consideration is issued or becomes issuable.

SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for and shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with earlier adoption prohibited. Assets and liabilities that arose from business combinations with acquisition dates prior to the SFAS No. 141(R) effective date shall not be adjusted upon adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) with certain exceptions for acquired deferred tax assets and acquired income tax positions. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009, and has not yet determined the effect of SFAS No. 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.”  This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” (“ARB 51”). Noncontrolling interest refers to the minority interest portion of the equity of a subsidiary that is not attributable directly or indirectly to a parent. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require for-profit entities that prepare consolidated financial statements to: (a) present noncontrolling interests as a component of equity, separate from the parent’s equity, (b) separately present the amount of consolidated net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the income statement, (c) consistently account for changes in a parent’s ownership interests in a subsidiary in which the parent entity has a controlling financial interest as equity transactions, (d) require an entity to measure at fair value its remaining interest in a subsidiary that is deconsolidated, (e) require an entity to provide sufficient disclosures that identify and clearly distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all for-profit entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, and affects those for-profit entities that have outstanding noncontrolling interests in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009 and has not yet determined the effect of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”).  SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (“the Guide”).  This statement also addresses whether the specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investment company and applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity.  In addition, SOP 07-1 includes certain disclosure requirements for parent companies and equity method investors in investment companies that retain investment company accounting in the parent company’s consolidated financial statements or the financial statements of an equity method investor.  SOP 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged; however, in November 2007, the FASB decided to (1) delay indefinitely the effective date of the SOP and (2) prohibit adoption of the SOP for an entity that has not early adopted the SOP.  The Company did not early adopt SOP 07-1.  SOP 07-1 as currently issued is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

2. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSET

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price paid and the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the Company’s business acquisitions.  Goodwill of $37.8 million, allocated to the Company’s Wealth Management Segment, is attributable to the 2002 acquisition of Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company (“KBL”), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyport Life Insurance Company.  Goodwill of $7.4 million, allocated to the Company’s Group Protection Segment, is attributable to the SLHIC asset transfer.  Additional information on the Company’s business segments is presented in Note 15.

An intangible asset with a gross carrying amount of $7.5 million and a net amortized balance of $7.3 million, allocated to the Group Protection Segment, is also attributable to the SLHIC asset transfer and represents the value of established distribution channels.  This intangible asset has an estimated useful life of 25 years.  Using a half-year convention and the straight-line method, the Company amortized $149 thousand for this intangible for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The Company estimates amortization of $299 thousand for this intangible for each of the five succeeding fiscal years.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis.  The Company completed the required impairment tests during the second quarter of 2007 and concluded that these assets were not impaired.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The following is a summary of affiliated transactions for those affiliates that are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company had $9.8 million and $1.0 million due to related parties at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $16.1 million and $5.6 million due from related parties at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

Effective May 31, 2007, Sun Life Financial completed its acquisition of EBG.  Also effective May 31, 2007, the Company entered into a series of agreements with SLHIC, one of the acquired companies, through which the New York-issued business of SLHIC was transferred to the Company.  These agreements include a 100% coinsurance agreement for all existing and future new business issued in New York, a renewal rights agreement under which the Company has exclusive rights to renew in-force business assumed under the reinsurance agreement and an administrative service agreement under which the Company has agreed to assume direct responsibility for all sales and administration of existing and new business issued in New York.  These agreements, in accordance SFAS No. 141, were treated as a transfer of net assets between entities under common control.  The Company paid $40 million of total consideration to SLHIC.  SLHIC transferred assets to the Company at a carrying value of approximately $72 million, including $38.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles, as well as policyholder and other liabilities of approximately $32 million.

As part of the SLHIC asset transfer, the Company received certain intangible assets totaling $31.3 million.  These include the value of distribution, VOBA, and VOCRA.  The value of distribution acquired of $7.5 million is subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over its projected economic life of 25 years.  VOBA of $7.6 million is subject to amortization based upon expected premium income over the period from acquisition to the first customer renewal, which is generally not more than two years.  VOCRA of $16.2 million is subject to amortization based upon expected premium income over the projected life of the inforce business acquired, which is 20 years.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded $0.1 million, $5.9 million, and $1.9 million for amortization of the value of distribution, VOBA, and VOCRA, respectively.

Goodwill and value of distribution related to this transaction also have been presented in Note 2.

As more fully described in Note 9, the Company participates in a pension plan and other post-retirement benefit plans sponsored by Sun Life U.S.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. INVESTMENTS (continued)

Overview of the Company's Investment Holdings and Portfolio Monitoring Processes

At December 31, 2007, the Company held $1.6 billion in invested assets and cash.  Of this balance, $1.3 billion was invested in fixed-maturity securities designated as available-for-sale.  Of the $1.3 billion of available-for-sale fixed maturities, securities with a fair value of $913.4 million were in an unrealized loss position totaling $39.7 million.  At December 31, 2007, 90.8% of securities in an unrealized loss position, based on fair value, were securities with fair value to amortized cost percentages of greater than or equal to 90%.  The total unrealized loss position for such securities was $24.3 million.

In the available-for-sale fixed maturity portfolio, securities with a fair value of $54.6 million, representing 3.4% of the total invested asset balance, were comprised of below-investment-grade or not-rated securities.  Of the total of the securities that were below-investment-grade or not-rated at December 31, 2007, securities with a fair value of $27.6 million, representing 1.7% of the total invested asset balance, were in an unrealized loss position that totaled $2.9 million.  At December 31, 2007, 72% of these securities in an unrealized loss position, based on fair value, were securities with fair value to amortized cost percentages of greater than or equal to 90%.

The Company’s portfolio monitoring process is designed to identify securities that may be other-than-temporarily impaired.  The Company has a Credit Committee comprised of professionals from the investment and accounting functions that meets at least quarterly to review individual issues or issuers that may be of concern.  The process involves a quarterly screening of all impaired securities, with particular attention given to identification of those securities whose fair value to amortized cost percentages have been less than 80% for an extended period of time.  Additionally, the Company screens all sales transactions which generated realized losses in excess of $150 thousand and 10% of amortized cost in order to identify identical securities or issuers which the Company continues to hold.  Discrete credit events, such as a ratings downgrade, are also used to identify securities that may be other-than-temporarily impaired.  The securities identified are then evaluated based on issuer-specific facts and circumstances, such as the issuer’s ability to meet current and future interest and principal payments, an evaluation of the issuer’s financial condition and its near term recovery prospects, difficulties being experienced by an issuer’s parent or affiliate, and management’s assessment of the outlook for the issuer’s sector.  Based on this evaluation, issues or issuers are considered for inclusion on one of the Company’s following credit lists:

“Monitor List” – Management has concluded that the fair value will increase enough to recover the Company’s amortized cost but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require monitoring on a quarterly basis.  As of December 31, 2007, no securities were included on the Company’s Monitor List.

“Watch List” – Management has concluded that the fair value will increase enough to recover the Company’s amortized cost but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require continued monitoring during the quarter.  As of December 31, 2007, securities with an amortized cost of $11.4 million and a fair value of $10.4 million were included on the Company’s Watch List.  A security is moved from the Monitor List to the Watch List when changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances increase the possibility that a security may become impaired within the next 24 months.

“Impaired List” – Management has concluded that the fair value will not increase enough to recover the Company’s amortized cost and an other-than-temporary impairment charge is recorded to income or the security is sold and a realized loss is recorded as a charge to income.  Impairments are classified as either credit-related or interest-related.  The Company categorizes impairments as credit-related if there are current concerns regarding the issuers’ ability to pay all principal and interest amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the security or if the decline in fair value of the security is driven by issuer-specific credit events.  The Company characterizes impairments as interest-related if the depression in fair value of the security was due to changes in interest or general credit spread widening and for which the Company has determined it no longer has the intent or ability to hold a security until recovery to amortized cost.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, other-than-temporary impairments of $4.8 million were recorded as a charge to income.  Of this balance, all impairments were deemed to be credit-related.

4. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

Overview of the Company's Investment Holdings and Portfolio Monitoring Processes (continued)

At each balance sheet date, management also evaluates securities in an unrealized loss position and determines if the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities until recovery.  If events or circumstances change, such as unexpected changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer, unanticipated changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads, changes in tax laws or accounting rules, changes in statutory capital requirements, or greater than expected liquidity needs, management will reconsider whether the Company has the intent and ability to hold a security until recovery.  If subsequent to the balance sheet date and due to an unexpected change in circumstances, the Company determines that it no longer intends to hold a security until recovery, a loss is recognized in net income in the period in which the intent to hold to recovery no longer exists.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties in management’s evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment.  These risks and uncertainties include factors both external and internal to the Company, such as general economic conditions, an issuer’s financial condition or near-term recovery prospects, market interest rates, unforeseen events which affect one or more issuers or industry sectors, and portfolio management parameters, including asset mix, interest rate risk, portfolio diversification, duration matching, and greater than expected liquidity needs.  All of these factors could impact management’s evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment.

The Company discontinues accruing income on all of its holdings for issuers that are in default.  Investment income would not have increased materially if these holdings had been performing.

The Company’s available-for-sale fixed maturity gross unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2007 was $29.9 million greater than at December 31, 2006.  The increase in unrealized losses was primarily due to general credit spread widening, partially offset by a decrease in interest rates.  Credit spreads widened primarily due to the deterioration of the sub-prime mortgage market and other liquidity disruptions, impacting the overall credit market.

Deterioration in the U.S. housing market, combined with tightened lending conditions and the market’s flight to quality securities, as well as the increased likelihood of a U.S. recession, also caused credit spreads to widen considerably.  The sectors and industries most significantly impacted include mortgage originators, home builders, financial lenders, residential and commercial mortgage-backed investments, and other structured products, including consumer loan backed investments.



 
 

 

SUN LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.))
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

4. INVESTMENTS (Continued)

Overview of the Company's Investment Holdings and Portfolio Monitoring Processes (continued)

Unrealized Losses (continued)

The sectors in the Company’s portfolio that recognized the largest unrealized losses were the Finance and Consumer Cyclical sectors.  As of December 31, 2007, there were 167 securities accounting for unrealized losses of $29.5 million in the Finance sector.  Of these unrealized losses, 98.6% were related to investment-grade issues (rated AAA through BBB-).  As of December 31, 2007, there were 28 securities accounting for unrealized losses of $4.0 million in the Consumer Cyclical sector.  Of these unrealized losses, 49.5% were related to investment-grade issues (rated AAA through BBB-).  All securities held at December 31, 2007 were subject to the Company’s portfolio monitoring process.

Because securities issued by the same issuer with different CUSIP numbers typically have different investment characteristics, such as secured or unsecured, shorter or longer maturities, or different interest rates, management’s analyses of unrealized and realized losses are performed at the CUSIP number level.  The Company also considers the credit condition of issuers at the entity level and considers various issues affecting an issuer collectively as facts and circumstances warrant.

Realized Losses

The sales of securities in the year ended December 31, 2007, which were in an unrealized loss position at the time of sale were primarily due to actual liquidity needs that were different from anticipated liquidity needs.  Management responded by selling certain securities that were in an unrealized gain position and by reconsidering the Company’s intent to hold certain securities that were in an unrealized loss position until recovery and selling them at a loss.  The objective of these sales was to keep the portfolio optimally balanced and diversified with respect to asset mix, interest rate risk, yield, duration, and credit quality.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded realized losses totaling $0.6 million on sales of securities with an aggregate fair value of $46.9 million.  The average percentage of selling price to amortized cost was 98.6%.  The largest single trading loss during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $0.2 million.

Mortgage Loans

The Company invests in commercial first mortgage loans throughout the United States.  Investments are diversified by property type and geographic area.  Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 75% of each property’s value at the time that the original loan is made.

The Company monitors the condition of the mortgage loans in its portfolio.  In those cases where mortgages have been restructured, appropriate allowances for losses have been made.  In those cases where, in management’s judgment, the mortgage loan’s value has been impaired, appropriate losses are recorded.  The Company had no restructured mortgage loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations, with or without prepayment penalties, and loans may be refinanced.

The Company has made funding commitments of mortgage loans on real estate and other loans into the future.  The outstanding funding commitments for these mortgages amounted to $3.4 million and $7.8 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Securities Lending

On May 1, 2006, the Company established a securities lending program which requires the borrower to provide collateral on a daily basis in amounts in excess of 102% of the fair value of the applicable securities loaned.  The Company retains effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continues to report such loaned securities as fixed maturities in its consolidated balance sheet.

Cash collateral received on securities lending transactions is reflected in other invested assets with an offsetting liability recognized in other liabilities for the obligation to return the collateral.  The fair value of collateral held and included in other invested assets was $69.1 million and $65.8 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Fee income earned on securities lending transactions was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The following methods were used by the Company in determining the estimated fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are estimated to be cost plus accrued interest.

Fixed maturities and equity securities: The Company determines the fair value of its publicly-traded fixed maturities using four primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, independent dealer quotes, pricing matrices, and pricing models.  Prices are first sought from third-party pricing services; the remaining unpriced securities are priced using one of the remaining three methods.  Third-party pricing services derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities with adjustments for trading volumes and market observable information through the reporting date.  In the event that there are no recent market trades, pricing services and brokers may use pricing matrices and models to develop a security price based on future expected cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate using collateral performance and vintages.

Structured securities, such as CMO, CMBS, and ABS, are priced using a matrix, fair value model or independent broker quotations.  CMBS securities, which are a subset of the Company's CMO holdings, are priced using the last sale price of the day or a broker quote, if no sales were transacted that day.  Other CMOs and ABS are priced using matrices, models and independent broker quotations.  Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.  In addition, estimates of expected future prepayments are factors in determining the price of ABS, MBS, CMBS, and CMO.  These estimates are based on the underlying collateral and structure of the security, as well as prepayment speeds previously experienced in the market at interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

For privately-placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated using matrices, which take into account credit spreads for publicly-traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, prepayment and liquidity characteristics.  A portion of privately-placed fixed maturities are also priced using market prices or dealer quotes.  The fair values of mortgages are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

The fair value of equity securities are based on quoted market prices.  Equity securities are included as a component of other invested assets.

Mortgage loans: The fair values of mortgage are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Policy loans: Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, which approximate fair value.

Separate account assets and liabilities: The estimated fair value of assets held in separate accounts is based on quoted market prices.  The fair value of liabilities related to separate accounts is the amount payable on demand, which excludes surrender charges.

Contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities: The fair values of the Company’s general account insurance reserves and contractholder deposits under investment-type contracts (insurance, annuity and pension contracts that do not involve mortality or morbidity risks) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or surrender values based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for all contracts being valued.  Those contracts that are deemed to have short-term guarantees have a carrying amount equal to the estimated market value.  The fair values of other deposits with future maturity dates are estimated using discounted cash flows.  GMABs and GMWBs are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, and are included in contractholder deposit funds.  The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated stochastically using risk neutral scenarios over a fifty-year projection.  Policyholder assumptions are based on experience studies and industry standards.

8. REINSURANCE

Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders.  The Company remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreement.  To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk.  Management believes that any liability from this contingency is unlikely.  The following discussion is organized by the Company’s business segments involved in reinsurance agreements.  Additional information on the Company's business segments is presented in Note 15.

Group Protection Segment

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the mortality risks of the Company’s group life contracts.  Under this agreement, certain group life mortality benefits are reinsured on a yearly- renewable term basis.  The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure amounts in excess of $0.7 million per claim for group life contracts ceded by the Company.

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of the Company’s group stop loss contracts.  Under this agreement, certain stop loss benefits are reinsured on a yearly-renewable term basis.  The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure specific claims for amounts in excess of $1.0 million per claim for stop loss contracts ceded by the Company.  The retention limit was raised to $1.5 million for policies sold or renewed on or after January 1, 2006.

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of the Company’s group long-term disability contracts.  Under this agreement, certain long-term disability benefits are reinsured on a yearly-renewable term basis.  The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure amounts in excess of $4 thousand per claim per month for long-term disability contracts ceded by the Company.  The retention limit was raised to $9 thousand per claim per month for claims incurred on or after January 1, 2006.

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures 100% of the risks on a quota share basis for certain specific group life and disability policies.

The Company has an agreement, effective May 31, 2007, to assume the net risks of an affiliate, SLHIC, for its New York-issued policies.

8. REINSURANCE (Continued)

Group Protection Segment (continued)

The Company is contingently liable for the portion of the policies reinsured under each of its existing reinsurance agreements in the event the reinsurance companies are unable to pay their portion of any reinsured claim.  Management believes that any liability from this contingency is unlikely.  However, to limit the possibility of such losses, the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk.

The following schedule reflects related party reinsurance information as recorded in income for the year ended December 31, 2007 (in 000's).

The Company had no related party reinsurance transactions for the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005.

Individual Protection Segment

Effective December 31, 2007, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with SLOC, under which SLOC will fund a portion of the AXXX reserves attributable to certain individual UL policies sold by the Company.  Under the agreement, the Company ceded, and SLOC assumed, on a funds withheld 90% coinsurance basis, certain in-force policies at December 31, 2007.  Future new business also will be reinsured under this agreement.  At December 31, 2007, pursuant to this agreement, the Company ceded $63.1 million of policyholder balances, and recorded a funds withheld payable to SLOC of $71.6 million.  The Company also has received from SLOC a ceding commission of $54.2 million and recorded a deferred gain of $45.7 million.

9.  RETIREMENT PLANS

Pension Plan

The Company participates in a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) that is sponsored by Sun Life U.S., which is directly liable for the related obligations.  Benefits under the Pension Plan are based on years of service and employees’ average compensation.  The Company is allocated a portion of the Pension Plan’s expenses, or allocated a credit if expected return on plan assets exceeds the Pension Plan’s expenses.  The allocated (credit) expenses were $(165) thousand, $(38) thousand and $211 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Included in the 2005 allocation is a curtailment charge of $205 thousand related to changes in the Pension Plan.

401(k) Savings Plan

The Company participates in a savings plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”) sponsored by Sun Life U.S. for which substantially all employees of at least age 21 are eligible to participate at date of hire.  Employer contributions are matched up to a specified amount of the employee’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan.  The Company’s portion of this employer contribution was $21 thousand, $45 thousand, and $16 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

9.  RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)

Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company participates in a plan sponsored by Sun Life U.S. that provides certain health, dental and life insurance benefits (“post-retirement benefits”) for retired employees and dependents.  Substantially all employees of the participating companies may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age, or retire early upon satisfying an alternate age-plus-service condition.  Life insurance benefits are generally set at a fixed amount.  The Company is allocated a portion of these post-retirement benefit plan expenses.  The allocated expenses were $9 thousand, $13 thousand and $8 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  FIN 48 establishes a comprehensive reporting model which addresses how a business entity should recognize, measure, present and disclose uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or plans to take on a tax return.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase of $38 thousand in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and related net interest, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.  The liability for UTBs related to permanent and temporary tax adjustments, exclusive of interest, was $2.5 million as of December 31, 2007 ($0.6 million as of January 1, 2007).  Of this total, $256 thousand of tax benefits would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate if the tax benefits were recognized in the financial statements.  In addition, consistent with the provisions of FIN 48, the Company reclassified $2.3 million of income taxes from deferred tax liabilities to accrued expenses and taxes at December 31, 2007.

The net increase in the tax liability, excluding accrued interest, of $1,966 thousand since the date of adoption resulted from the following (in 000’s):

Balance at January 1, 2007
 
$            554
Gross increases related to tax positions in prior years

Balance at December 31, 2007
     
$         2,520

The Company records interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.  The Company recognized $38 thousand of net interest and penalties as at January 1, 2007.  During the years ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized an additional $75 thousand in gross interest and penalties related to UTBs.

While the Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax liabilities to change in the next twelve months, it does not expect the change to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

The Company’s federal income tax returns are periodically audited by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and provisions are made in the consolidated financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits.  In August 2006, the IRS issued a Revenue Agent’s Report for the Company’s tax years 2001 and 2002.  The Company is currently at the Appeals Division of the IRS with respect to the tax years 2001 and 2002.  In the first quarter of 2007, the IRS commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years 2003 and 2004.  This examination is anticipated to be completed by August 1, 2008.  While the final outcome of the appeal and ongoing tax examinations is not determinable, the Company does not believe that any adjustments would be material to its financial position.

The Company regularly updates its estimates of liabilities for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses as new information becomes available and events occur which may impact the resolution of unsettled claims.  Changes in prior estimates are recorded in results of operations in the year such changes are determined.

As a result of changes in estimates of insured events in prior years, the liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense decreased by $1.8 million and $1.3 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The favorable development experienced in both years was driven mainly by better than expected loss experience in group life.

12.  LIABILITIES FOR CONTRACT GUARANTEES

As disclosed in Note 1, the Company records its reserves for GMDBs in accordance with SOP 03-1, whereby the expected benefits provided by the guarantees are spread over the duration of the contract in proportion to the benefit assessments.  The major provisions of SOP 03-1 that affect the Company require:

Establishment of reserves primarily related to death benefit and income benefit guarantees provided under variable annuity contracts.
Deferral of sales inducements that meet certain criteria, and amortization using the same method used for DAC.
Reporting and measuring the Company’s interest in its separate accounts as investments.

The Company offers various guarantees to certain policyholders including a return of no less than (a) total deposits made on the contract adjusted for any customer withdrawals, (b) total deposits made on the contract adjusted for any customer withdrawals plus a minimum return, or (c) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date minus any customer withdrawals following the contract anniversary.  These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death, upon annuitization, or at specified dates during the accumulation period of an annuity.

The table below represents information regarding the Company’s variable annuity contracts with guarantees at December 31, 2007 (in 000’s):

Because the Company has not issued products that contain a guaranteed minimum income benefit (“GMIB”), there was no requirement for a GMIB reserve as of December 31, 2007.

The liability for death benefit guarantees is established equal to a benefit ratio multiplied by the cumulative contract charges earned, plus accrued interest and less contract benefit payments.  The benefit ratio is calculated as the estimated present value of all expected contract benefits divided by the present value of all expected contract charges.  The benefit ratio may be in excess of 100%.  For guarantees in the event of death, benefits represent the current guaranteed minimum death payments in excess of the current account balance.  For guarantees at annuitization, benefits represent the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuity benefits in excess of the current account balance.

Projected benefits and assessments used in determining the liability for guarantees are developed using models and stochastic scenarios that are also used in the development of estimated future gross profits.  Underlying assumptions for the liability related to income benefits include assumed future annuitization elections based upon factors such as eligibility conditions and the annuitant’s attained age.

The liability for guarantees is re-evaluated regularly, and adjustments are made to the liability balance through a charge or credit to policyowner benefits.

GMABs and GMWBs are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, and are recorded at fair value through earnings.  The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated stochastically using risk neutral scenarios over a fifty-year projection.  Policyholder assumptions are based on experience studies.  The net balance of GMABs and GMWBs constituted (a liability) an asset in the amount of $(3.6) million and $0.4 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company conducts business principally in three operating segments and maintains a Corporate Segment to provide for the capital needs of the three operating segments and to engage in other financing-related activities.  Each segment is defined consistently with the way results are evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker.

Net investment income is allocated based on segmented assets by line of business.  Allocations of operating expenses among segments are made using both standard rates and actual expenses incurred.  Management evaluates the results of the operating segments on an after-tax basis.  The Company does not materially depend on one or a few customers, brokers or agents for a significant portion of its operations.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted a new capital allocation methodology for measurement of segment operating results to be more closely aligned with rating agency standards.  The changes impact the amount of capital and income on capital that is allocated to the Company’s Wealth Management, Individual Protection and Group Protection Segments from the Corporate Segment.

Wealth Management

The Wealth Management Segment markets, sells and administers fixed and variable annuity products.

Group Protection

The Group Protection Segment markets, sells and administers group life, stop loss, long-term disability and short-term disability, and group dental insurance products.  These products are sold to small and mid-size employers that provide group benefits for their employees.

Individual Protection

The Individual Protection Segment markets, sells and administers universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance and conversions from the Company’s group life product.

Corporate

The Corporate Segment includes the unallocated capital of the Company and items not otherwise attributable to the other segments.

16. REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company is required to file quarterly and annual statements with the New York State Insurance Department prepared on a statutory accounting basis prescribed or permitted by the State of New York.  For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were no permitted practices followed.  Statutory net income and capital stock and surplus differ from net income and stockholder’s equity reported in accordance with GAAP for stock life insurance companies primarily because, under statutory basis accounting, policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, reserves are based on different assumptions, investments are valued differently, and income tax expense reflects only taxes paid or currently payable.

The Company’s statutory capital and surplus, and net (loss) income were as follows (in 000’s):

 
Unaudited for the Years ended December 31,
 
2007
2006
2005

Statutory net loss
(25,380)
(51,183)
(11,841)

17. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is subject to certain statutory restrictions.  The State of New York has enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by domestic insurers.  New York law permits a domestic stock life insurance company to distribute a dividend to its shareholders without prior notice to the New York Superintendent of Insurance where the aggregate amount of such dividends in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of: (i) ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains.  The Company is permitted to pay dividends up to a maximum of $20.7 million in 2008 without prior approval from the New York Superintendent of Insurance.  No dividends were paid by the Company during 2007, 2006 or 2005.

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory and Industry Developments

Under the insurance guaranty fund laws of New York, insurers licensed to do business in the State of New York can be assessed by state insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants.  The insurance guaranty laws of New York provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer’s insolvency and further provide annual limits on such assessments.  Part of the assessments paid by the Company pursuant to these laws may be used as credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes.

Litigation, Income Taxes and Other Matters

In Revenue Ruling 2007-61, issued on September 25, 2007, the IRS announced its intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the dividends received deduction (the “DRD”) on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity contracts.  Revenue Ruling 2006-61 suspended Revenue Ruling 2007-54, issued on August 16, 2007, that purported to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing computational questions impacting the DRD.  New DRD regulations that the IRS proposes for issuance on this matter will be subject to public comment, at which time the insurance industry and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise comments and questions about the content, scope, and application of new regulations.  The timing, substance, and effective date of the new regulations are unknown, but they could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company ultimately receives.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a benefit of $438 thousand related to the separate account DRD.

The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation or other matters that could have a material effect upon the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York
Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included 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.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109”.

Variable Account C

Notes to Financial Statements

(1) Organization

Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account C (the ‘‘Variable Account’’), a separate account of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, the (‘‘Sponsor’’) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.)), was established on October 18, 1985 as a funding vehicle for the variable portion of Regatta NY contracts, Regatta Gold NY contracts, Regatta Extra NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Access NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice NY, Sun Life Financial Masters Reward NY, and Sun Life Financial Masters Select NY contracts (collectively, the “Contracts”) and certain other fixed and variable annuity contracts issued by the Sponsor. The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust existing in accordance with the regulations of the New York State Insurance Department.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account is invested in shares of a single corresponding investment portfolio of certain open-end mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. With respect to the Regatta NY contracts, Regatta Gold NY contracts, and Regatta Extra NY contracts, the funds include MFS/Sun Life Series Trust (the “Series Trust”).  With respect to the Sun Life Financial Masters Flex NY, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Access NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice NY, Sun Life Financial Masters Reward NY, and Sun Life Financial Masters Select NY contracts, the funds include Columbia Funds Variable Insurance Trust , Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Funds, Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc., the “Series Trust”, Oppenheimer Variable Account  Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust , Sun Capital Advisers Trust, Van Kampen Life Insurance Trust, and Wanger Advisor Trust (collectively with the Series Trust, the “Funds”).

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor’s other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Variable Account's assets applicable to the variable annuity contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor may conduct.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities along with the disclosure of contingent assets as well as liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuations

Investments in shares of the Funds are recorded at their net asset value. The Funds value their investment securities at market value. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of shares of the Funds are determined on the first in, first out basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions received by the Sub-Accounts are reinvested in additional Fund shares and are recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Exchanges between Sub-Accounts requested by contract owners are recorded in the new Sub-Account upon receipt of the redemption proceeds.

Federal Income Tax Status

The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of the Sponsor and are not taxed separately. The Sponsor qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code. Under existing federal income tax law, investment income and capital gains earned by the Variable Account on contract owner reserves are not currently subject to tax by the contract owner.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes –an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes”.  This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  FIN 48 is effective during the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Sub-Accounts adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  The Sub-Accounts are not responsible for the payment or recording of income taxes and therefore the adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.

SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (“Level 1, 2 and 3”).  Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  SFAS No. 157 requires that a fair value measurement technique include an adjustment for risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model, if market participants would also include such an adjustment.  Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will focus on the inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and the effects of the measurements in the financial statements.

The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and are to be applied prospectively, except for changes in fair value measurements that result from the initial application of SFAS No. 157, which are to be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption.  Sponsor of the Sub-Accounts will adopt SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008 and will apply the provisions of the statement prospectively to assets and liabilities measured and disclosed at fair value.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Sub-Account's financial position or results of operations.

(3) Contract Charges and Related Party Transactions

Charges for mortality and expense risks, the optional death benefit rider, and the Secured Returns Optional Living Benefit are based on the value of the Sub-Account and are deducted from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period for the risks assumed by the Sponsor.

(3) Contract Charges and Related Party Transactions — continued

Each year on the contract anniversary, an account administration fee (‘‘Account Fee’’) of $30 is deducted from each contract’s accumulation account. After the annuity commencement date the Account Fee is deducted pro rata from each variable annuity payment made during the year. In addition, a deduction is made from the Sub-Account at the end of each valuation period (during both the accumulation period and after annuity payments begin) at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the daily net assets of the Sub-Account. These charges are paid to the Sponsor to reimburse it for administrative expenses which exceed the revenues received from the Account Fee.

A specific quarterly charge, equal to 0.125% of account value, is deducted on the last day of the Account Quarter, ("Account Quarters" are defined as three-month periods, with the first Account Quarter beginning on the Issue Date.), if one of the following optional living benefit riders has been elected:  Secured Returns 2, Secured Returns for Life, or Secured Returns for Life Plus. These three optional living benefit riders are available on Sun Life Financial Masters Choice NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Reward NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Select NY contracts. A specific quarterly charge, equal to 0.1625% for Single Life Coverage, is deducted on the last day of the Account Quarter if the Income ON Demand optional living benefit rider has been elected or 0.0875% if Retirement Asset Protector optional living benefit rider has been elected. These two optional living benefit riders are available on Sun Life Financial Masters Choice NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Reward NY contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Select NY contracts.

Massachusetts Financial Services Company is the investment adviser to the Series Trust.  Sun Capital Advisers LLC is the investment adviser to Sun Capital Advisers Trust.  Both are affiliates of the Sponsor and charge management fees at an effective annual rate ranging from 0.60% to 1.56% and 1.00% to 1.35% of the Funds’ net assets, respectively.

The Sponsor does not deduct a sales charge from the purchase payments. However, a surrender charge (contingent deferred sales charge) of up to 6% of certain amounts withdrawn, when applicable, will be deducted to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of Regatta NY and Regatta Gold NY contracts; 8% for Regatta Extra NY, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex NY, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra NY, Sun Life Financial Masters Access NY and Sun Life Financial Masters Choice NY; and for 7% for Sun Life Financial Masters Reward NY and Sun Life Financial Masters Select NY.

For assuming the risk that surrender charges may be insufficient to compensate it for the costs of distributing the contracts, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the Sub-Account at the end of each valuation period at an effective annual rate of  0.15% of the net assets attributable to Sun Life Financial Masters Extra NY, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice NY, Sun Life Financial Masters Reward NY, and Sun Life Financial Masters Select NY contracts and an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the net assets attributable to Sun Life Financial Masters Flex NY and Sun Life Financial Masters Access NY contracts.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Sponsor received the following amounts related to the above mentioned contract and surrender charges. These charges are reflected in the ‘‘Withdrawals, surrenders, annuitizations and contract charges’’ line of the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for each Sub-Account.

* Represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Sub-Accounts invest
** Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the Sub-Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded
*** Represents the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.


 (7) Tax Diversification Requirements


Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), a variable contract, other than a contract issued in connection with certain types of employee benefit plans, is not treated as an annuity contract for federal tax purposes for any period in which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the “adequately diversified” requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury.

The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the Code which allows the contract owner to avoid current taxation of both current and built-up earnings of the contract. The Sponsor believes that the Sub-Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Sub-Account will continue to meet such requirements.

Variable Account C (collectively the “Sub-Accounts”), as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Sponsor’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. The Sub-Accounts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 Sub-Accounts’ 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 2007, the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Item 26. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by the Registrant. The Registrant is a separate account of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) which is ultimately controlled by Sun Life Financial Inc.

The organization chart of Sun Life Financial is incorporated by reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 25 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4 of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account F, File No. 333-83516, filed February 12, 2008.

None of the companies listed is a subsidiary of the Registrant, therefore the only financial statements being filed are those of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York.

Item 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

As of March 31, 2008 there were 14 qualified and 50 non-qualified Contracts issued and outstanding.

Item 28. INDEMNIFICATION

Article 5, Section 5.6 of the By-laws of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit A.(6)(b) to the Registration Statement of the Registrant on Form N-8B-2 (File No. 811-4440), provides for indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (N.Y.) 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 Sun Life (N.Y.) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of Sun Life (N.Y.) 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, Sun Life (N.Y.) will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
