SPECIAL TERMS

Your Contract is a legal document that uses a number of specially defined terms. We explain most of the capitalized 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 capitalized 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 capitalized 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® Extra Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning. You are eligible to purchase a Contract if you are age 85 or younger on the Open Date. During the Accumulation Phase, you make Purchase Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more of the Variable Account options or, if available, the 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 the optional death benefit, at an additional cost, if you are younger than age 75 on the Open Date.

The Accumulation Phase

Under most circumstances, you can buy the Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 or the maximum annual Individual Retirement Annuity contribution, unless we waive these limits. 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 require that each additional Purchase Payment be at least $1,000. We will not accept, without our prior approval, 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. In addition, we will credit your Contract with interest, which we refer to as “Purchase Payment Interest,” at a rate that varies based upon the interest option you choose when you apply for your Contract. Not all interest options may be available in all states; and the rates credited may vary by state. These general requirements for Purchase Payments apply even if you elect an optional living benefit. In addition, there are other restrictions on the frequency of Purchase Payments that apply depending upon which optional living benefit you selected. Any Purchase Payments received under an optional living benefit with such restrictions will be deemed “not in good order” and returned to you.

Variable Account Options: The Funds

You can allocate your Purchase Payments among the Sub-Accounts investing in a number of Fund options. You may also transfer among the Funds and, if available, the Fixed Account 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.

The Fixed Account Options: The Guarantee Periods

From time to time, we make Fixed Account options available. When we do, you can allocate your Purchase Payments to the Fixed Account and elect to invest in one or more of the available Guarantee Periods. 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 required 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. On May 4, 2009, we stopped accepting any investments (Purchase Payments, transfers, renewals) into any Guarantee Periods, other than in connection with our dollar-cost averaging program.

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 Account Anniversary, we deduct a $50 Annual Account Fee. We will waive the Account Fee if your Contract was fully invested in the Fixed Account during the entire Account Year, or if your Account Value is $100,000 or more on your Account Anniversary.

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge at an annual rate of 1.40% 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 this charge at an annual rate of 1.60% 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 0.15% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account.

If you take more than a specified amount of money out of your Contract, we assess a withdrawal charge against each Purchase Payment withdrawn. For each Purchase Payment, the withdrawal charge (also known as a “contingent deferred sales charge”) starts at 8% and declines to 0% after the Purchase Payment has been in the Contract for seven complete Account Years.

Currently, you can transfer your Account value among the underlying Funds free of charge. However, we reserve the right to impose a charge of up to $15 per transfer. We limit the number of your Fund transfers to 12 per year. (See “Transfer Privilege.”)

If you elect the optional death benefit, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, an additional charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily value of your Contract.

If you elect the optional living benefit, we will assess a periodic charge. The annual amount of the charge in no case exceeds 1.30% of the highest benefit base during the Account 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 Benefits

At issue, you may choose to participate in the optional living benefit available under your Contract. Sun Income Riser offers a guaranteed withdrawal benefit with an opportunity for a bonus to be added to your benefit base if you defer taking withdrawals during a specified time period under your Contract.

Sun Income Riser is available only if you are age 85 or younger on the Open Date. If you purchase Sun Income Riser, your investment choices are limited to the Designated Funds. In addition, a change of ownership may also terminate Sun Income Riser. Under Sun Income Riser, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. Any Purchase Payments received after your first Account Anniversary will be deemed “not in good order” and returned to you. Sun Income Riser allows you to “step-up” your guaranteed amount on an annual basis, if eligible. Sun Income Riser may not be available in all states.

In addition to the currently available optional living benefit listed above, twelve other optional living benefits were previously available. Although these optional living benefits are no longer being issued, they are still in force under many Contracts that are already outstanding. Each of these optional living benefits is discussed in a separate Appendix at the end of this prospectus:

Appendix G - Secured Returns for Life
Appendix M - Income ON Demand II
Appendix H - Secured Returns
Appendix N - Income ON Demand II Plus
Appendix I - Secured Returns 2
Appendix O - Retirement Income Escalator II
Appendix J- Secured Returns for Life Plus
Appendix P - Income ON Demand II Escalator
Appendix K - Retirement Income Escalator
Appendix Q - Retirement Asset Protector
Appendix L - Income ON Demand
Appendix R - Income ON Demand III Escalator

Purchase Payments allocated to investment options other than the Designated Funds will only terminate the optional living benefit. Withdrawals taken in excess of allowable amounts, or withdrawals taken prior to certain dates, may severely decrease your Account Value or cause your Contract and your living benefit to terminate without value.

You may terminate an optional living benefit at any time. In addition, your optional living benefit will terminate 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 certain circumstances, a change of ownership may also terminate your living benefit. Upon termination, all benefits and fees associated with the optional living benefit will cease. Once terminated, a living benefit may not be reinstated.

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 on a fixed or variable basis. If you choose to receive any part of your annuity payments on a variable basis, the dollar amount of the payments may fluctuate with the performance of the underlying 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, we will deduct total insurance charges at an annual rate of 1.70% of your average daily Annuity Unit values. We will not deduct the mortality and expense risk charge; nor will we deduct the charges for any optional living benefit or optional death benefit. The 1.70% insurance charge, which includes an administrative expense charge and a distribution fee, compensates us for the risks and expenses associated with providing annuity payments during the Income Phase.

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 your age on the Open Date and whether you choose the basic death benefit or, for a fee, the optional death benefit. If you are 85 or younger on your Open Date, the basic death benefit pays the greatest of your Account Value, your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for withdrawals), or your Surrender Value, all calculated as of your Death Benefit Date. If you are 86 or older on your Open Date, the basic death benefit is equal to the Surrender Value. If you are younger than age 75 on the Open Date, you may purchase the Maximum Anniversary Account Value (“MAV”) optional death benefit which pays the greater of the basic death benefit and the highest Account Value on any Account Anniversary (adjusted for withdrawals) prior to age 81. You must make your election before your Issue Date. Your death benefit election may not be changed after your Issue Date.

Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charges and Market Value Adjustment

You can withdraw money from your Contract during the Accumulation Phase. You may withdraw a portion of your Account Value each year without the imposition of a withdrawal charge. In the first Account Year, this “free withdrawal amount” is equal to 10% of all Purchase Payments less any withdrawals previously taken that were not subject to a withdrawal charges.  For all other Account Years, the “free withdrawal amount” is equal to the greater of (1) 10% of the amount of all Purchase Payments made during the last seven Account Years (including the current Account Year) minus all withdrawals that were not subject to withdrawal charges taken during the current Account Year and (2) Contract earnings during the prior Account Year minus all withdrawals that were not subject to withdrawal charges taken during the current Account Year. For details regarding how to calculate your Contract earnings, please see “Withdrawal Charge” and “APPENDIX B - WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, & MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.” Withdrawals made from the Fixed Account may also be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. (See “Market Value Adjustment.”) You may also 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 (or later, if allowed by your state), we will send you your Account Value less any “adjusted” Purchase Payment Interest, (please see “Right to Return” under “Other Contract Provisions” for the calculation of adjusted Purchase Payment Interest) as of the day we receive your cancellation request, in good order. (This amount may be more or less than the original Purchase Payment.) In states requiring return of Purchase Payments, you will receive the greater of (1) your Surrender Value as of the day we receive your cancellation request or (2) your total Purchase Payments made as of that date. We will only deduct a withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment when the returned amount is based on Surrender Value.

Tax Provisions

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 ordinary income. If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, it is possible that the election of an optional living benefit 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 on taxable amounts.

                               

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 a 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.

The expenses shown, which include any acquired fund fees and expenses, are those incurred for the year ended December 31, 2013, and were provided by the Funds. We have not independently verified the accuracy of the Fund expense information. Current or future expenses may be greater or less than those shown. For more information about Fund expenses, including a description of any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement, see the Fund prospectuses.


1
The fee tables apply to the Accumulation Phase of the Contract and reflect the maximum charges unless otherwise noted. (See “Contract Charges.”) During the Income Phase, the fees will be different than the Total Variable Account Annual Expenses described in the fee table. After you annuitize, we will deduct total insurance charges at an annual rate of 1.70% of your average daily Annuity Unit values; we will no longer deduct a mortality and expense risk charge or the charges for any optional living benefit or any optional death benefit. The 1.70% insurance charge, which includes the administrative expense charge and a distribution fee, compensates us for the risks and expenses associated with providing annuity payments during the Income Phase.
   
2
A portion of your Account may be withdrawn each year without imposition of any withdrawal charge and, after a Purchase Payment has been in your Account for 7 Account Years, it may be withdrawn free of the withdrawal charge. (See “Withdrawal Charge.”)
   
3
The premium tax rate and base vary by your state of residence and the type of Contract you own. We deduct premium taxes from Account Value upon full surrender (including surrender for the death benefit) or annuitization. (See “Premium Taxes.”)
   
4
The Annual Account Fee is waived if 100% of your Account Value has been allocated to the Fixed Account during the entire Account Year or if your Account Value is $100,000 or more on your Account Anniversary. (See “Account Fee.”)
   
5
All of the Variable Account Annual Expenses, except for the charges for optional living benefits, are assessed as a percentage of average daily net Variable Account assets. The charge for each optional living benefit is assessed on a quarterly basis.
   
6
For Contracts purchased prior to March 5, 2007, the rate of this charge is 1.60% 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%.
   
7
The MAV optional death benefit is described under “DEATH BENEFIT.” It is currently available only if you are younger than age 75 on the Open Date. For Contracts purchased prior to August 17, 2009, the MAV death benefit was available to Owners younger than age 80 on the Open Date, at a cost of 0.20% of average daily net assets of the Variable Account Value.
   
8
The previously available death benefits are described in “APPENDIX C - PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFITS AND EXAMPLES.”
   

9
As discussed under ”OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT: SUN INCOME RISER,” if you elect to increase or renew certain benefits under Sun Income Riser, we have the right to increase the rate of the charge to what we are then charging on newly issued optional living benefits of the same type or to a rate based on then-current market conditions.
   
10
The charge shown is assessed and deducted quarterly based upon the applicable fee base, taken on the last day of each Account Quarter. Your actual charges may be less than the maximum stated above. (See “Cost of SIR.”)
   
11
The Withdrawal Benefit Base initially is equal to your initial Purchase Payment, and it thereafter is subject to certain adjustments. (See “OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT: SUN INCOME RISER,” “APPENDIX K - RETIREMENT INCOME ESCALATOR,” and “APPENDIX O - RETIREMENT INCOME ESCALATOR II.”)
   
12
The Fee Base initially is equal to your initial Purchase Payment, and it thereafter is subject to certain adjustments. (See “APPENDIX M - Income ON Demand II,” “APPENDIX N - Income ON Demand II Plus,” “APPENDIX P - Income ON Demand II Escalator” and “APPENDIX R - Income ON Demand III Escalator.”)
   
13
The previously available optional living benefits are described in Appendices G through O. If you elect to increase certain benefits under any of the living benefits other than  Secured Returns, we have the right to increase the rate of the charge based on then-current market conditions. (See the “Step-Up” section in Appendices G, I through R.) Under these outstanding Contracts, you were permitted to select only one optional living benefit.
   
14
The charges shown are assessed and deducted quarterly based upon the applicable fee base, taken on the last day of each Account Quarter. Your actual charges may be less than the maximum stated above. (See Appendices G, I through R.) For Contracts purchased prior to February 17, 2009, the Maximum Annual Fees for Retirement Income Escalator II, Income ON Demand II Escalator, and Retirement Asset Protector were initially set at 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.35%, respectively. Those fees will not change on those earlier Contracts, unless the Owner consents in writing to the higher fees as described under “Step-Up” section in Appendices O through Q.
   
15
The Income Benefit Base initially is equal to your initial Purchase Payment, and it thereafter is subject to certain adjustments. (See “APPENDIX L – Income ON Demand.”)
   
16
The Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base initially is equal to your initial Purchase Payment, and it thereafter is subject to certain adjustments. (See “APPENDIX Q - RETIREMENT ASSET PROTECTOR.”)
   
17
This amount assumes that MAV (0.40%) was selected and that the Sun Income Riser Living Benefit with joint-life coverage (1.30%) was also selected (in addition to the 1.40% Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the 0.15% Administrative Expense Charge, and the 0.15% Distribution Fee). It also assumes that the living benefit’s initial fee base is equal to the initial Purchase Payment. If the fee base changes, the charge for your optional living benefit and your Total Variable Account Annual Expenses would be higher or lower.

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.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your Contract combines the features producing the highest maximum charges, including the MAV optional death benefit and the optional living benefit with joint-life coverage. 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 Account Fee to a percentage, the Example assumes an average Contract size of $50,000. This Example factors in Purchase Payment Interest using the 5% Purchase Payment Interest Option. 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.

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
         
 
$1,309
$2,335
$3,295
$5,820

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

 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
         
 
$552
$1,678
$2,832
$5,820

(3)
If you do not surrender your Contract:

 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
         
 
$552
$1,678
$2,832
$5,820

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. 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. 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.

For information concerning compensation paid for the sale of the Contracts, see “DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT.”

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 T - CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION.”

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account F (the “Variable Account”) offer the Contract to groups and individuals for use in connection with their retirement plans. Annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed for retirement planning, and are not suitable for short-term investing or speculation. Persons wishing to employ such strategies should not purchase a Contract. The Contract is available on a group basis and, in certain states, may be available on an individual basis. We issue an Individual Contract directly to the individual Participant of the Contract. We issue a Group Contract to the Owner, covering all individuals participating under the Group Contract; each individual receives a Certificate that evidences his or her participation under the Group Contract.

In this Prospectus, unless we state otherwise, we refer to both the owners of Individual Contracts and participating individuals under Group Contracts as “Participants” and we address all Participants as “you”; we use the term “Contracts” to include Individual Contracts, Group Contracts, and Certificates issued under Group Contracts. For the purpose of determining benefits under both Individual Contracts and Group Contracts, we establish an Account for each Participant, which we will refer to as “your” Account or a “Participant Account.”

Your Contract provides certain features that may benefit you in retirement planning.

 
·
It has an Accumulation Phase and an Income Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, you make Purchase Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more of the Variable Account options or, if available, the Fixed Account options. During the Income Phase, we make annuity payments based on the amount you have accumulated. Annuity payments can be fixed or variable. When you choose variable options, you assume the investment risk. When you choose fixed options, we assume the investment risk.

 
·
It also has 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.

 
·
It 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 for an additional charge.

 
·
If you so elect, during the Income Phase, it provides annuity payments to you or someone else for life or for another period that you choose.

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 non-trusteed) 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.

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

You may submit transaction requests or otherwise communicate with us in writing or by telephone. All materials mailed to us, including Purchase Payments, must be sent to our mailing address as set forth at the beginning of this Prospectus. For all telephone communications, you must call (800) 752-7216. In addition, the authorized registered representative of the broker-dealer of record may submit transfer requests on your behalf in writing, by telephone, or over the Internet on our broker website. To use the broker website, the registered representative must first consent to our online terms of use. (See “Requests for Transfers” under “Transfer Privilege.”)

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, in good order, at our mailing address or at (800) 752-7216. 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 the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is normally 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. This would include only cases where we have a specific agreement with the broker-dealer that provides for this treatment and the broker-dealer electronically forwards to us the request promptly after the end of the Business Day on which it receives the request in good order. In such cases, financial transactions received by us in good order will be priced that Business Day, provided the broker-dealer received the request 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. For information about whether we have this type of arrangement with your broker-dealer, you may call us at the above number.

Certain methods of contacting us, such as by telephone or over the Internet, may be unavailable or delayed. Any computer or telephone system (including yours, ours, and your registered representative’s) can experience delays or outages that may delay or prevent us from processing your request. While we have taken reasonable precautions to allow our systems to accommodate heavy usage, we do not guarantee access or reliability under all circumstances. If you experience delays or an outage, you may submit your request to us in writing to our mailing address, as set forth at the beginning of this Prospectus.

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 ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)

We are a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 12, 1970. We do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and we have an insurance company subsidiary that does business in New York. The address for our Executive Office is 96 Worcester Street, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.

Our parent is Delaware Life Holdings, LLC (“Delaware Life”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 12, 2012. Delaware Life is ultimately controlled by Todd L. Boehly and Mark R. Walter.

Delaware Life acquired the Company from Sun Life Financial, Inc. in August of 2013. The Company is no longer affiliated with Sun Life Financial, Inc., and the Sun Life names and marks are used under license. In accordance with the Company’s change of ownership, we expect the Company to change its name from “Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.)” to “Delaware Life Insurance Company” during 2014.

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

We established the Variable Account as a separate account on July 13, 1989, 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 Delaware 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. 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, and the optional living benefit and death benefit guarantees, are general corporate obligations of the Company and, as such, are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors.

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 benefits, 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. Not all investment options are available under all Contracts. Please refer to “APPENDIX F - PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS” for more information. Currently, you may select from the following investment options:

Not available if you purchased your Contract through a Bank of America representative between April 25, 2005 and April 20, 2007.
2
This Fund is a fund-of-funds, which invests substantially all of its assets in shares of other mutual funds. This Fund may be more expensive than other Funds available under your Contract, as a fund-of-funds indirectly pays a portion of the management fees and other expenses incurred by the underlying mutual funds in which it invests. As a result, you will bear, directly, the expenses of the Fund and, indirectly, a portion of the expenses of the underlying funds. These expenses reduce the investment returns of both the Fund and the underlying funds.

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 each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, may be obtained without charge by calling us at (800) 752-7216 or by writing to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), 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 Participants and Payees and those of other companies, or some other reason. In the event of conflict, we will take any steps necessary to protect Participants 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 Funds may employ hedging strategies to provide for downside protection during sharp downward movements in equity markets. The cost of these hedging strategies could limit the upside participation of the Fund in rising equity markets relative to other Funds. You should consult with your registered representative to determine which combination of investment choices is appropriate for you.

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 Participants, but are paid from assets of the advisers, transfer agents, or underwriters.

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.

Selection of Funds

The Funds offered through the Contract are selected by the Company. We review the Funds periodically and may remove a Fund or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Account Value if we determine that a Fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Fund has not attracted significant allocations from Contract Owners. We do not recommend or endorse any particular fund, and we do not provide investment advice. You bear the risk of any decline in your Account Value resulting from the performance of the Funds you have chosen.

We may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the alignment of the investment objectives of a Fund with our hedging strategy, the strength of an adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the Fund or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing, and support services, or whether affiliates of the Fund can provide marketing and distribution support for the sale of the Contracts. Accordingly, we may receive compensation from an investment adviser, distributor and/or affiliates(s) of one or more of the Funds based upon an annual percentage of the average assets we hold in the investment options. These amounts, which may vary by adviser, are intended to compensate us for administrative and other services we provide to the Funds and/or affiliate(s) and may be significant. In addition, the Company or the principal underwriter of the Contracts may receive 12b-1 fees (fees which may be levied against the total balance of a mutual fund’s assets and may be used to pay marketing and brokerage expenses of the Fund) deducted from certain Fund assets attributable to the Contract for providing distribution and shareholder support services to some investment options.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

The Fixed Account is made up of all the general assets of the Company (referred to as the “general account”) other than those allocated to any separate account. Amounts you allocate to Guarantee Periods become part of the Fixed Account. These general account assets are available to support our insurance and annuity obligations other than those funded by the Variable Account. Any guarantees under the Contract that exceed your Variable Account Value, such as those with any optional living benefit and any death benefit, are paid from our general account (and not the Variable Account). Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the Contract in excess of Variable Account Value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we pay our obligations under those products from our assets in the general account. The general account is subject to claims of creditors made on the assets of the Company.

We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account in those assets we choose that are allowed by applicable 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 four 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 state insurance laws. You will not have a direct or indirect interest in the Fixed Account investments.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE GUARANTEE PERIODS

Guarantee Periods

You may elect one or more Guarantee Periods from those we make available from time to time. When available, we may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations; however, we may stop offering some or all Guarantee Periods at any time. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period of a particular duration, 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, Guarantee Periods already in existence will be unaffected, although any renewals thereof 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.

Effective May 4, 2009, we stopped accepting any additional amounts for allocation to certain Guarantee Periods, regardless of when the Contract was issued. Under this change, all Guarantee Periods were closed to new amounts from:

 
·
initial or subsequent Purchase Payments you may make, except for Purchase Payments that you allocate to our dollar-cost averaging program;

 
·
transfers of Account Value into a Guarantee Period from any other Guarantee Period or Sub-Account;

 
·
renewals at the end of an existing Guarantee Period; and

 
·
any other source.

Any of your Account Value held in a Guarantee Period on May 4, 2009 was not immediately affected by our closing the Guarantee Periods to new amounts. However, at the end of such Guarantee Period, we automatically transfer all of your Account Value remaining therein to the Money Market Sub-Account, if you have not by that time requested that we transfer all of such amounts to any other Sub-Account(s).

Because we are not currently offering new Guarantee Periods in connection with our Secured Future Program, that program is no longer available to those who are not already participating in it. (See “Secured Future Program” under “Other Programs.”)

Guaranteed Interest Rates

We determine Guaranteed Interest Rates at our discretion. Our determination will be influenced by the interest rates we earn on our fixed income investments as well as other factors, including regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions, administrative expenses, general economic trends and competitive factors. You can find out about our current Guaranteed Interest Rates by calling us at (800) 752-7216.

We may from time to time at our discretion offer special interest rates for new Purchase Payments that are higher than the rates we are then offering for renewals or transfers.

Early Withdrawals

Early withdrawals from your allocation to a Guarantee Period, including cash withdrawals, transfers, and commencement of an annuity option, may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which could increase the value of your Account. (See “WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.”)

THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, you make Purchase 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 “Covered Person” dies before the Annuity Commencement Date.

Issuing Your Contract

We “open” the Contract on the Business Day when we receive your Application at our mailing address shown on the first page of this Prospectus. We refer to this date as the “Open Date.” We “issue” your Contract on the day we apply your initial Purchase Payment, when your Application is “in good order.” An Application is in good order when we have received all the information necessary to complete it. We refer to this date as the “Issue Date.”

We determine your eligibility for purchasing a Contract and your eligibility for electing the optional death benefit and the optional living benefit based upon the ages of all Owners and Annuitants on the Open Date.

We will credit your initial Purchase Payment to your Account within two Business Days of receiving your completed Application, in good order. If your Application is not in good order, we will notify you. If we do not have the necessary information to complete the Application within five Business Days, we will send your money back to you or ask your permission to retain your Purchase Payment until the Application is in good order. Once the Application is in good order, we will then apply the Purchase Payment within two Business Days.

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 $10,000 or the maximum annual Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”) contribution, unless we waive these limits. 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, unless we have given our prior approval, 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. We reserve the right to refuse Purchase Payments received more than five years after your Issue Date or after your 70th birthday, whichever is later. We will notify you of any change in writing prior to its effectiveness. 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. If you are participating in an optional living benefit, you may be limited in the timing of additional Purchase Payments depending upon which optional living benefit you selected. (See “OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT - SUN INCOME RISER” and Appendices G - R.)

Allocation of Net Purchase Payments

You may allocate your Purchase Payments among the different Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods currently available. However, we reserve the right to limit any allocation to a Guarantee Period to at least $1,000. We will notify you of any change in writing prior to its effectiveness.

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 Purchase Payments by sending us notice of the change as required. We will use your new allocation factors for Purchase Payments we receive with or after we have received notice of the change 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 “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 two 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 two components are calculated separately, as described under “Variable Account Value” and “Fixed Account Value.”

Purchase Payment Interest

We will credit your Contract with an amount, which we refer to as “Purchase Payment Interest.” When you purchased your Contract, your may have elected one of the Purchase Payment Interest options listed below.

Option A: The 2% Five-Year Anniversary Interest Option - Under this option we will credit your Contract with interest at a rate of 2% of each Purchase Payment received prior to the first Account Anniversary. In addition, on every Fifth-Year Anniversary, we will add to your Contract a credit equal to 2% of your Account Value at that time.

Option B: The 5% Interest Option - Under this option we will add to your Contract a credit equal to 5% of each Purchase Payment. However, Purchase Payments made under Option B prior to August 17, 2009, were credited with interest at the rate in effect at the time of the Purchase Payment. This rate ranged from 3% to 6% of the Purchase Payment. You will never receive a credit on an additional Purchase Payment lower than the rate declared at the time your Contract was purchased. (See “APPENDIX D – CALCULATION FOR PURCHASE PAYMENT INTEREST.”)

We add the Purchase Payment Interest to your Account during the same Valuation Period in which we receive any Purchase Payment under Option B, or any Purchase Payment received before the first Account Anniversary under Option A. In addition, under Option A we add Purchase Payment Interest to your Account on every Fifth-Year Anniversary. When a credit is based upon a Purchase Payment received, we allocate it to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Guarantee Periods in the same proportion as the Net Purchase Payment is allocated. For any Fifth-Year Anniversary credit under Option A, we calculate the credit based on your total Account Value and then allocate that amount to each Sub-Account on a pro-rata basis; i.e., in the same proportion as each Sub-Account is invested in your total Variable Account Value.

Purchase Payment Interest is not a Purchase Payment and therefore no withdrawal charges are directly associated with it. The credit of Purchase Payment Interest increases your Account Value. As a result of the Purchase Payment Interest, other values may be affected. For example:

 
·
An increase in your Account Value may also result in your Account Value becoming the greatest amount payable under the basic death benefit.
 
·
The Purchase Payment Interest credited during a previous Account Year may also increase your prior Account Year’s earnings under your Contract and thus your free withdrawal amount.
 
·
If you are participating in an optional living benefit, the Purchase Payment Interest will not be credited to your benefit base; however, the increase in your Account Value may cause a step-up of your benefit base.

You should carefully consider the following when selecting a Purchase Payment Interest option:

 
·
Option A will generally result in higher Purchase Payment Interest if you plan to hold your Contract for a longer period of time (e.g., 10 years or more). Option B will generally result in higher Purchase Payment Interest if you only plan to hold your Contract for a shorter period of time (e.g., less than 10 years).
 
·
If you plan on making additional Purchase Payments beyond the first Account Year, then under Option B, we will credit your Account Value immediately with the Purchase Payment Interest. By contrast, for Purchase Payments made after the first Account Year under Option A, you will not receive an immediate credit of Purchase Payment Interest; instead, on every Fifth-Year Anniversary, we will credit your Contract based on your Account Value.
 
·
If you selected an optional living benefit, there may be restrictions on the amount and timing of additional Purchase Payments. (See “Accumulation Phase,” “OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT - SUN INCOME RISER,” and Appendices H - S.)

The Contracts are designed to give the most value to Participants with long-term investment goals. We will deduct the “Adjusted” Purchase Payment Interest if the Contract is returned during the “free look period.” For a description of the free look period and Adjusted Purchase Payment Interest, see “Right to Return.” For examples of how we calculate Purchase Payment Interest, see “APPENDIX D - CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENT INTEREST.”

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 generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. (The close of trading is determined by the New York Stock Exchange.) 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 charge, the administrative expense charge, and the distribution fee) plus any applicable asset-based charge for certain optional benefits.

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 Renewal Date.

Each additional Purchase Payment, transfer or renewal credited to your Fixed Account Value will result in a new Guarantee Period with its own Renewal Date. Amounts allocated at different times to Guarantee Periods of the same duration may have different Renewal Dates. Guarantee Periods may not always be available for allocation. (See “FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE GUARANTEE PERIODS.”)

Crediting Interest

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. You can find out about our current Guaranteed Interest Rates by calling us at (800) 752-7216.

Guarantee Amounts

Each separate allocation you make to a Guarantee Period, together with interest credited thereon, is called a Guarantee Amount. Each Guarantee Amount is treated separately for purposes of determining the Market Value Adjustment. We may restrict a Guarantee Period that will extend beyond your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. Renewals into a Guarantee Period that extends beyond your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date will result in an application of a Market Value Adjustment upon annuitization or withdrawals. We reserve the right to limit each new allocation to a Guarantee Period to at least $1,000.

Renewals

We will notify you in writing between 45 and 75 days before the Renewal Date for any Guarantee Amount. Renewals are only available if we are currently offering Fixed Account options on the Renewal Date. If you would like to change your Fixed Account option, we must receive from you prior to the Renewal Date:

 
·
written notice from you electing a different Guarantee Period from among those we then offer, or

 
·
written instructions to transfer the Guarantee Amount to one or more Sub-Accounts, in accordance with the transfer privilege provisions of the Contract. (See “Transfer Privilege.”)

If we receive no instructions from you prior to the Renewal 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.

A Guarantee Amount will not renew into a Guarantee Period that will extend beyond your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. In that case, unless you notify us otherwise, we will automatically transfer your Guarantee Amount into the Money Market Sub-Account.

These automatic transfers 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.”

Early Withdrawals

If you withdraw, transfer, or annuitize an allocation from a Guarantee Period more than 30 days prior to the Renewal Date, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment to the transaction. This could result in an increase of your Account Value, depending on interest rates at the time. (See “WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.”)

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:

 
·
you may not make more than 12 transfers in any Account Year;

 
·
the amount transferred from a Guarantee Period must be the entire Guarantee Amount, except for transfers of interest credited during the current Account Year;

 
·
at least 30 days must elapse between transfers to and from Guarantee Periods;

 
·
at least 6 days must elapse between transfers to and from the Sub-Accounts;

 
·
transfers to or from Sub-Accounts are subject to terms and conditions that may be imposed by the Funds; and

 
·
we impose additional restrictions on market timers, which are further described below. (See “Short-Term Trading.”)

These restrictions do not apply to transfers made under any optional program. (See “Other Programs.”) Additional restrictions apply to transfers made under any of the optional living benefits.

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. Transfers out of a Guarantee Period more than 30 days before the Renewal Date or any time after the Renewal Date will be subject to the Market Value Adjustment described under “WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.” We will notify you of any change in writing prior to its effectiveness. Under current law, there is no tax liability for transfers.

Requests for Transfers

You, your authorized registered representative of the broker-dealer of record, or another authorized third party may request transfers in writing or by telephone. Registered representatives of broker-dealer firms that have entered into selling agreements with us may, on behalf of their clients, submit transfer requests electronically over the Internet on our broker website. To use this electronic transfer service, a registered representative must agree to our online terms of use. You can contact us by telephone at (800) 752-7216 to identify broker-dealers with registered representatives that use this service.

If a written, telephone, or electronic transfer request is received 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., the transfer will be priced 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 have established procedures reasonably designed to confirm that instructions communicated to us by telephone or electronically are genuine. These procedures may require any person requesting a transfer made by telephone or electronically to provide personal identifying information. We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone that we reasonably believe are genuine.

We reserve the right to deny any and all transfer requests made by telephone or electronically and to require that certain transfer requests be submitted in writing. A transfer request may be denied if it is not in good order or if it does not comply with the terms of our short-term trading policy or the trading policy of a fund involved in the transfer. If an electronic or a telephone transfer request is denied, we will immediately notify you and your authorized registered representative.

We also reserve the right to suspend, modify, restrict, or terminate the telephone or electronic transfer privilege at any time. Your ability (or the ability of your authorized registered representative or another authorized third party) to request transfers by telephone and/or electronically may also be limited due to circumstances beyond our control, such as during system outages or periods of high volume.

A transfer request will be priced at the Variable Accumulation Unit value next determined at 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 priced on the next Business Day.

Certain transfer requests may result in the modification or cancellation of one or more of the Contract’s optional programs or features that require, or are based on, specific allocations among the available Sub-Accounts or Guarantee Periods as described more particularly elsewhere in this Prospectus (and in the Appendices hereto).

No more than one transfer request of Account Values may be made on the same Business Day regardless of whether the request is made by you, your authorized registered representative, or another authorized third party, and regardless of whether the request is submitted in writing, by telephone, or electronically. The Company has established reasonable procedures for handling multiple transfer requests received on the same Business Day, including processing the first transfer request received in good order on a Business Day (unless otherwise cancelled in accordance with the cancellation procedures described in the next paragraph).

You, your authorized registered representative, or another authorized third party may cancel a transfer request by contacting us by telephone at (800) 752-7216 before the end of the Business Day during which the transfer request was submitted. We may also permit your authorized registered representative to request cancellation of a transfer request electronically over the Internet, provided we receive the electronic request before the end of the Business Day during which the transfer request was submitted.

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 Participants 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 Participants or intermediaries or curtail their trading. A failure to detect and curtail short-term trading could result in adverse consequences to the Participants. Short-term trading can increase costs for all Participants 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 limit the number and frequency of transfers of Account Value. The Company also reserves the right to charge a fee for transfers to discourage frequent trading. In no event will the total charge assessed in connection with a transfer, that includes this fee as well as any charge that we may assess on a permitted transfer of Account Value among Sub-Accounts (see “Permitted Transfers,” above), exceed the maximum fee per transfer presented in the table of “Contract Owner Transaction Expenses” under “FEES AND EXPENSES” in this Prospectus.

Short-term trading activities whether by the Participant or a third party authorized to initiate transfer requests on behalf of Participant(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 “Permitted Transfers,” 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 Account Values on behalf of multiple Participants 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 Participant be equal to 100% of that Participant’s value in the Sub-Account. In the last situation, we will not transfer any of the Sub-Account value. Instead, we will deem the request not in good order and immediately notify you.

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:

 
·
when a new broker of record is designated for the Contract;

 
·
when the Participant changes;

 
·
when control of the Contract passes to the designated beneficiary upon the death of the Participant or Annuitant;

 
·
when necessary in our view to avoid hardship to a Participant; or

 
·
when underlying Funds are dissolved, merged, or substituted.

If short-term trading results as a consequence of waiving the restrictions against short-term trading, it could expose Participants to certain risks. The short-term trading could increase costs for all Participants 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. 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 Participants 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; Credits; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates

In certain situations, we may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge or the annual Account Fee, credit additional amounts, grant bonus Guaranteed Interest Rates, 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 Participant, certain sales of larger-sized Contracts (generally, Contracts that have our approval to exceed $2 million in Account Value), 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. For other situations in which withdrawal charges may be waived, see “WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.”

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.” If you have elected to participate in an optional living benefit, certain restrictions may affect the operation or availability of these programs as discussed in more detail under each specific program below. You may terminate your participation in any of these programs at any time.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (“DCA”) Program

You may elect to participate in the DCA program, at no extra charge, you make any Purchase Payment to your Account prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. If you have elected an optional living benefit, your ability to make Purchase Payments into the DCA program may be limited. Please see “OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT - SUN INCOME RISER” and Appendices G - R.

The DCA program allows you to invest gradually over time by allocating all or a portion of your Purchase Payment to a Guarantee Period. (We reserve the right to limit minimum investments to at least $1,000.) At regular time intervals, we will automatically transfer a portion of your Fixed Account Value (including a portion of the Purchase Payment Interest) to one or more Sub-Accounts that you choose. The program continues until your Fixed Account Value is depleted or you elect to stop the program. The final amount transferred from the Fixed Account will include all interest earned.

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. Amounts invested in a Sub-Account may not be transferred to a Guarantee Period made available in connection with this program. If you elected to participate in the DCA program when you purchased your Contract, then all future Purchase Payments will be allocated to the DCA program, unless you specify otherwise.

No Market Value Adjustment will apply to amounts automatically transferred from the Fixed Account under the DCA program. However, if you discontinue or alter the program prior to completion, amounts remaining in the Fixed Account will be transferred to the Money Market Sub-Account, unless you instruct us otherwise, and the Market Value Adjustment will be applied. Any allocation of a new Purchase Payment to the program will be treated as commencing a new DCA program and may be subject to the $1,000 minimum investment limit.

The main objective of the DCA 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, the DCA program 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. The DCA program allows you to take advantage of market fluctuations. However, it is important to understand that the DCA 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 DCA program.

Asset Allocation

One or more asset allocation models may be available in connection with the Contract, at no extra charge. You may elect to participate in an asset allocation model at any time prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date as long as we are still offering asset allocation models. 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.

We have no discretionary authority or control over your investment decisions. We do not recommend asset allocation models or otherwise provide advice as to what asset allocation model may be appropriate for you.

Our asset allocation program consists of one or more asset allocation models that we may make available from time to time. You may participate in only one model at a time. Each such asset allocation model represents a combination of Sub-Accounts with a different level of risk. Any asset allocation models, as well as the terms and conditions of this asset allocation program, are fully described in a separate brochure. You may request a copy of this brochure by calling us at (800) 752-7216. We may add or delete such models in the future.

Our asset allocation models are “static.” That is to say, if you elect an asset allocation model, we automatically rebalance your Account Value among the Sub-Accounts represented in the model you chose. While we will not alter the Sub-Account allocation percentages used in any asset allocation model, your asset allocation model and allocation weightings could be affected by mergers, liquidations, fund substitutions or closures.

You will not be provided with information regarding the periodic updates to models that we may offer to new Contract purchasers. Any new models will only be offered to Contracts opened on or after the date the new model goes into effect or to Contract Owners who elect an asset allocation model on or after that date. Contract Owners who have elected an existing asset allocation model will remain in that existing model and we will continue to rebalance their percentage allocations among the Sub-Accounts in that existing model. However, such Contract Owners may make an independent decision to change their asset allocations at any time. Investment alternatives, other than these asset allocation models, are available that may enable you to invest your Account Value with similar risk and return characteristics. You should consult your financial adviser periodically to consider whether any model you have selected is still appropriate for you.

Systematic Withdrawal and Interest Out Program

You may select our Systematic Withdrawal Program or Interest Out Program at any time prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. 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. Under the Interest Out Program, we automatically pay you, or reinvest, interest credited for all Guarantee Periods you have chosen. The withdrawals under these programs may be subject to surrender charges and a Market Value Adjustment. They may also be included as income and subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. You should consult a qualified tax professional before choosing these options. We reserve the right to limit the election of either of these programs to Contracts with a minimum Account Value of $10,000.

You are responsible for and may have to adjust the amount and timing of your systematic withdrawals to comply with amounts you are allowed to withdraw under an optional living benefit. (See “OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT - SUN INCOME RISER” and Appendices H - S.) Withdrawals may significantly reduce the death benefit amount under your Contract. (See “Calculating the Death Benefit.”)

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

Portfolio Rebalancing Program

You may select our Portfolio Rebalancing Program at any time prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. Under this 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. If you are participating in an optional living benefit, then, on a quarterly basis, we will automatically transfer your Account Value among the Designated Funds you have selected to maintain the percentage allocations you have chosen. (See “DESIGNATED FUNDS” and “BUILD YOUR OWN PORTFOLIO.”) No transfers to or from any Guarantee Period are permitted while this program is in effect.

Secured Future Program

You may only elect to participate in the Secured Future Program on or before your Issue Date. We divide your initial Purchase Payment (and Purchase Payment Interest on that initial Purchase Payment) between the Fixed Account and the Variable Account. For the Fixed Account portion, you choose a Guarantee Period from among those we offer. We then allocate to that Guarantee Period the portion of your Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest necessary so that, at the end of the Guarantee Period, your Fixed Account allocation, including interest, will equal the entire amount of your original Purchase Payment, less the amount of any Contract charges that have been deducted from the Fixed Account. The remainder of the initial Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest will be invested in the Sub-Accounts of your choice. At the end of the Guarantee Period, you will be guaranteed the amount of your original Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest (assuming no withdrawals or transfers), plus you will have the benefit, if any, of the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you have chosen. Your Secured Future Program terminates at the end of the Guarantee Period and is not renewable into a new Guarantee Period. The Secured Future Program is not available when Guarantee Periods are not being offered. (See “THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE GUARANTEE PERIODS.”)

Travel Assistance Program

On January 11, 2010, we exercised our right to discontinue offering this program to new Contract purchasers. We sent Owners written notice of our decision to discontinue offering the program. If your Contract had an Open Date before January 11, 2010, you were automatically enrolled in this program on your Open Date, if it had been approved in your state and by the firm through whom you purchased your Contract, unless you instructed us otherwise. The program will remain in effect for you, unless your Contract terminates, you change ownership of your Contract, or you instruct us to cancel your participation in the program. There is no charge for this program.

This program may provide some or all of the following services, provided by a third party we designate, when the person covered is 100 miles or more away from home:

 
·
Referral to an English-speaking doctor or hospital for medical consultation and evaluation
 
·
Hospital admission guarantee, assuming the covered person has applicable health coverage
 
·
Emergency evacuation, if necessary
 
·
Critical care monitoring of attending doctor/hospital
 
·
Medically supervised repatriation, if the person covered requires assistance returning home after hospitalization
 
·
Assistance in filling prescriptions, if required
 
·
Receipt and transmission of necessary emergency messages
 
·
Telephone counseling and referrals if the person covered experiences emotional trauma
 
·
Transportation to join a covered person who was traveling alone and will be hospitalized more than seven days
 
·
Transportation home for minor children left unattended by the covered person’s illness or injury
 
·
Legal and interpreter referrals
 
·
Return of mortal remains

The “person covered” is:

 
·
The Owner as identified in the Contract, if the Contract is owned by one or more individuals; or
 
·
The Annuitant as identified in the Contract, if the Contract is owned by a non-natural entity.

WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

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 mailing 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.

All withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge. (See “Withdrawal Charge.”) Withdrawals from your Fixed Account Value also may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. (See “Market Value Adjustment.”) Upon request, we will notify you of the amount we would pay in the event of a full withdrawal. Withdrawals also may have adverse federal income tax consequences including a 10% penalty tax. (See “TAX PROVISIONS.”) 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:

 
·
first we determine your Account Value based on any Fixed Account Value and on the price next determined for each Sub-Account at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your withdrawal request;

 
·
we then deduct the Account Fee, if applicable;

 
·
we calculate and then add the amount of any Market Value Adjustment applicable to your Fixed Account Value; and finally,

 
·
we calculate and deduct any applicable withdrawal charge.

A full withdrawal results in the surrender of your Contract, cancellation of all rights and privileges under your Contract, and your optional living benefit will end.

Partial Withdrawals

When you request a partial withdrawal, you can ask to have any applicable charges deducted either from:

 
·
the amount of your partial withdrawal request (thereby reducing the amount you are to receive); or
 
·
your Account Value (thereby reducing your Account Value by the amount of your partial withdrawal request plus any applicable withdrawal charges).

If you make no specification, we will process your withdrawal request using the first option above. Please note: Under either option any applicable taxes will be deducted from the amount you receive.

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 Own Portfolio,” withdrawals out of your portfolio model will be taken pro-rata from each of your selected Funds.

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 benefits and optional death benefits that appear elsewhere in this Prospectus (and in the Appendices hereto) 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 Account Year in which you make the withdrawal, we reserve the right to treat it as a request for a full withdrawal (i.e., a surrender of your Contract).

Time of Payment

We will pay you the applicable amount of any full or partial withdrawal within seven 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 applicable state insurance law. Currently, we may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Variable Account only for the following periods:

 
·
when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except weekends and holidays) or when the SEC determines trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

 
·
when the SEC determines that an emergency exists and that it is not reasonably practical (i) to dispose of securities held in the Variable Account or (ii) to determine the value of the net assets of the Variable Account;

 
·
when an SEC order permits us to defer payment for the protection of Participants; or

 
·
when mandated by applicable law.

If, pursuant to SEC rules, the MFS® Money Market Portfolio suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the Fund, we will delay payment of any transfer, partial withdrawal, surrender, loan, or death benefit from the Money Market Sub-Account until the Fund is liquidated. We also may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we receive your withdrawal request. We do not pay interest on the amount of any payments we defer.

If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a Purchase Payment and/or block a Contract Owner's account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulators. We may also be required to provide additional information about you or your account to governmental regulators.

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-Sheltered Annuities” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”)

Withdrawal Charge

We do not deduct any sales charge from your Purchase Payments when they are made. However, we may impose a withdrawal charge (known as a “contingent deferred sales charge”) on certain amounts you withdraw. We impose this charge primarily to defray some of our expenses related to the sale of the Contracts, such as commissions we pay to agents, the cost of sales literature, and other promotional costs and transaction expenses.

Free Withdrawal Amount

In each Account Year you may withdraw a portion of your Account Value, which we call the “free withdrawal amount,” before incurring the withdrawal charge.

In the first Account Year, your free withdrawal amount is equal to 10% of all Purchase Payments you have made less any withdrawals previously taken that were not subject to withdrawal charges. For all other Account Years, the free withdrawal amount is equal to the greater of:

 
·
your Contract’s earnings during the prior Account Year (defined below) minus all withdrawals taken during the current Account Year that were not subject to withdrawal charges; and

 
·
10% of the amount of all Purchase Payments you have made during the last seven Account Years (including the current Account Year), minus all withdrawals taken during the current Account Year that were not subject to withdrawal charges.

Your Contract earnings during the prior Account Year are determined on the Account Anniversary according to the following formula:

(AVChange – PP) + WD

Where:

AVChange
=
the difference between your Account Value at the end of the prior Account Year and your Account Value at the beginning of the prior Account Year.
PP
=
all Purchase Payments made during the prior Account Year.
WD
=
all partial withdrawals and withdrawal charges taken during the prior Account Year.

For an example of how we calculate the “free withdrawal amount,” see “APPENDIX E - CALCULATION OF FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT.”

Order of Withdrawals

Each time you make a withdrawal, we consider the free withdrawal amount to be withdrawn first. If the amount you withdraw is in excess of your free withdrawal amount, then that excess may be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will withdraw the excess, in order, from your oldest remaining Purchase Payment to your most recent Purchase Payment. Each time you make a withdrawal, we will follow this procedure until all of your Purchase Payments have been withdrawn. Once all Purchase Payments are withdrawn, the balance withdrawn is considered to be earnings and is not subject to a withdrawal charge.

Calculation of Withdrawal Charge

We calculate the amount of the withdrawal charge by multiplying the Purchase Payments you withdraw by a percentage. The percentage varies according to the number of Account Years the Purchase Payment has been held in your Account. Each Purchase Payment begins a new 7-year period and moves down the declining withdrawal charge scale as shown below at each Account Anniversary. If a Purchase Payment is withdrawn during the same Account Year as it was made, it will have an 8% withdrawal charge. On your next scheduled Account Anniversary, that Purchase Payment, along with any other Purchase Payments made during that same Account Year, will be considered to be in their second Account Year and will also have an 8% withdrawal charge. On the next Account Anniversary, these Purchase Payments will move into their third Account Year and will have a withdrawal charge of 7%. This withdrawal charge decreases according to the number of Account Years the Purchase Payment has been held in your Account. The withdrawal charge scale is as follows:

Number of Account Years
Payment Has Been
In Your Account
Withdrawal
Charge
0-1
8%
1-2
8%
2-3
7%
3-4
6%
4-5
5%
5-6
4%
6-7
3%
7 or more
0%

For example, the percentage applicable to the withdrawal of a Purchase Payment that has been in an Account for more than two Account Years but less than three will be 7% regardless of the Issue Date of the Contract.

The withdrawal charge will never be greater than 8% of the aggregate amount of Purchase Payments you make under your Contract. You may want to consider deferring a withdrawal because withdrawal charges decline the longer the Purchase Payment is held in your Account.

For a Group Contract, we may modify the withdrawal charges and limits, upon notice to the Owner of the Group Contract. However, any modification will apply only to Accounts established after the date of the modification.

For additional examples of how we calculate withdrawal charges, see “APPENDIX B - WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, & MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.”

Types of Withdrawals not Subject to Withdrawal Charge

Nursing Home Waiver

We will waive the withdrawal charge for a full withdrawal if:

 
·
the nursing home waiver is approved in the state of issue;

 
·
at least one year has passed since your Issue Date;

 
·
you are confined to an eligible nursing home and have been confined there for at least the preceding 180 days, or any shorter period required by your state; and

 
·
your confinement to an eligible nursing home began after your Issue Date.

An “eligible nursing home” means a licensed hospital or licensed skilled or intermediate care nursing facility at which medical treatment is available on a daily basis and daily medical records are kept for each patient. You must provide us with evidence of confinement in the form we determine. To find out where the nursing home waiver is approved, you can call us at (800) 752-7216.

Minimum Distributions

For each Qualified Contract, the free withdrawal amount in any Account Year will be the greater of the free withdrawal amount described above or any amounts required to be withdrawn to comply with the minimum distribution requirement of the Internal Revenue Code. This waiver of the withdrawal charge applies only to the portion of the required minimum distribution attributable to that Qualified Contract.

Other Withdrawals

We do not impose withdrawal charge:

 
·
when you annuitize your Contract;
 
·
on amounts we pay as a death benefit, except under the Cash Surrender method;
 
·
on amounts you transfer among the Sub-Accounts, between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, or within the Fixed Account; or
 
·
on any amounts transferred as part of an optional program. (See “Other Programs.”)

Market Value Adjustment

Market Value Adjustments only apply to Contracts investing in the Fixed Account and are only applicable to Contracts that have allocated money to the Fixed Account Guarantee Period options that we make available from time to time.

If permitted under the laws of your state, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment if you withdraw or transfer amounts from your Fixed Account Value more than 30 days before the end of the applicable Guarantee Period. For this purpose, using Fixed Account Value to provide an annuity is considered a withdrawal, and the Market Value Adjustment will apply. However, we will not apply the Market Value Adjustment to automatic transfers to a Sub-Account from a Guarantee Period as part of our dollar-cost averaging program.

We apply the Market Value Adjustment separately to each Guarantee Amount in the Fixed Account, that is to each separate allocation you have made to a Guarantee Period together with interest credited on that allocation. However, we do not apply the adjustment to the amount of interest credited during your current Account Year. Any withdrawal from a Guarantee Amount is attributed first to such interest.

A Market Value Adjustment may increase or have no effect on your Account Value. This will depend on changes in interest rates since you made your allocation to the Guarantee Period and the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period. In general, if the Guaranteed Interest Rate we currently declare for Guarantee Periods equal in duration to the number of complete years remaining in your Guarantee Period (or your entire Guarantee Period for Guarantee Periods of less than one year) is lower than your Guaranteed Interest Rate, the Market Value Adjustment is likely to increase your Account Value.

Effective March 19, 2012, we have amended your Contract or Certificate by limiting (i.e., putting a “floor” on) any downward Market Value Adjustment that might be applied after March 19, 2012, to withdrawals or transfers out of a Guarantee Period. The “floor” ensures that, if you withdraw or transfer money from your Fixed Account Value more than 30 days before the end of the applicable Guarantee Period, we will not apply a Market Value Adjustment that would reduce the amount withdrawn before the deduction of any applicable Contract charges. We will, however, continue to apply any positive Market Value Adjustment that would increase the amount withdrawn.

We determine the amount of the Market Value Adjustment by multiplying the amount that is subject to the adjustment by the following formula:

(
1 + I
)
N/12
-  1
1 + J + b
 

where:

I
is the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to the Guarantee Amount from which you withdraw, transfer or annuitize;
   
J
is the Guaranteed Interest Rate we declare at the time of your withdrawal, transfer or annuitization for Guarantee Periods equal to the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period applicable to your Guarantee Amount, rounded to the next higher number of complete years, for Guarantee Periods of one year or more. For any Guarantee Periods of less than one year, J is the Guaranteed Interest Rate we declare at the time of your withdrawal, transfer or annuitization for a Guarantee Period of the same length as your Guarantee Period. If, at that time, we do not offer the applicable Guarantee Period we will use an interest rate determined by straight-line interpolation of the Guaranteed Interest Rates for the Guarantee Periods we do offer;
   
N
is the number of complete months remaining in your Guarantee Period; and
   
b
is a factor that currently is 0%, but that in the future we may increase to up to 0.25%. Any increase would be applicable only to Participants who purchase their Contracts after the date of that increase. The “b” factor is the amount that will be used to cover market volatility (i.e., credit risk), basis risk, and/or liquidity costs.

We will apply the Market Value Adjustment to the amount being withdrawn after deduction of any Account Fee, if applicable, but before we impose any withdrawal charge on the amount withdrawn.

For examples of how we calculate the Market Value Adjustment, see “APPENDIX B - WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, & MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.”

CONTRACT CHARGES

Account Fee

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, we will deduct from your Account an annual Account Fee of $50 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 Account 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 Account Anniversary.

We will not charge the Account Fee if:

 
·
your Account Value has been allocated only to the Fixed Account during the applicable Account Year; or

 
·
your Account Value is $100,000 or more on your Account 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 Account Anniversary and the day before the Annuity Commencement Date.

After the Annuity Commencement Date, we will deduct an annual Account Fee of $50 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 during both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, this charge is deducted at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% of your average daily Variable Account Value (including any portion of your Variable Account Value that has resulted from the crediting of any Purchase Payment Interest). During the Income Phase, this charge is included as part of the total insurance charges deducted from Annuity Unit values. This charge is designed to reimburse us for expenses we incur in administering the Contracts, Participant 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 during both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, this fee is deducted at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% of your average daily Variable Account Value (including any portion of your Variable Account Value that has resulted from the crediting of any Purchase Payment Interest). During the Income Phase, this fee is included as part of the total insurance charges deducted from Annuity Unit values. 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 1.40% of your average daily Variable Account Value (including any portion of your Variable Account Value that has resulted from the crediting of any Purchase Payment Interest).

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 Participant 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 any optional death benefits and any optional living benefits will exceed the amount of the charges we deduct for those optional benefits; 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 1.60% (rather than 1.40%), if you were age 76 or older on the Contract’s Open Date. During the Income Phase, we will deduct total insurance charges at an annual rate of 1.70% of your average daily Annuity Unit values, regardless of your age on the Open Date. We will not deduct the mortality and expense risk charge; nor will we deduct the charges for any optional living benefit or optional death benefit. The 1.70% charge, which includes an administrative expense charge and a distribution fee, compensates us for the risks and expenses associated with providing annuity payments during the Income Phase.

Charges for Optional Benefits

You may only elect the currently available optional living benefit. If you elect the optional living benefit, we will deduct a charge from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter during the Accumulation Phase. The maximum amount of the charge is shown in the following chart. (The chart shows the charge for the optional living benefit that are currently being offered. For more information about this charge, as well as the charges for forms of optional living benefits that are no longer being offered but remain in force under currently outstanding Contracts, please see “FEES AND EXPENSES.”)

Living Benefits Currently Available
Maximum Charge per Account Year
   
Sun Income Riser
1.30% of the highest Withdrawal Benefit Base during the Account Year1
                                     
 
1 The Withdrawal Benefit Base is initially equal to your initial Purchase Payment, and thereafter is subject to certain adjustments.

If you elect the MAV optional death benefit, during the Accumulation Phase, we will deduct a daily charge at an effective annual rate of 0.40% of your average daily Variable Account Value. For more information about this charge, as well as the charges for optional death benefits that are no longer being offered but remain in force under currently outstanding Contracts, please see “FEES AND EXPENSES.” For more information about the calculation of this charge, please see “Variable Accumulation Unit Value” under “Variable Account Value.”

Premium Taxes

Some states and local jurisdictions impose a premium tax on us that is equal to a specified percentage of the Purchase Payments you make. In many states there is no premium tax. 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 expenses deducted from each Fund. These fees and expenses are described in the Fund prospectuses and related Statements of Additional Information.

Modification in the Case of Group Contracts

For Group Contracts, we may modify the annual Account Fee, the administrative expense charge and the mortality and expense risk charge upon notice to Participants. However, such modification will apply only with respect to Participant Accounts established after the effective date of the modification.

OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT: SUN INCOME RISER®

Currently, you may elect to participate in Sun Income Riser (“SIR”) on or before your Issue Date. SIR provides an annual income guarantee for life. You can withdraw up to a guaranteed amount each year and, provided you meet certain requirements, we will continue to send you the guaranteed amount even if your Account Value should go to zero. 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 SIR, the larger the guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount. To describe how SIR works, we use the following definitions:

Annual Withdrawal Amount:
The total guaranteed amount available for withdrawal each Account 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.)
   
Early Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken prior to your SIR Coverage Date.
 
 
Excess Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken after your SIR Coverage Date that exceeds your Annual Withdrawal Amount (or your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater).
   
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage:
The percentage used to calculate your Annual Withdrawal Amount.
   
SIR Bonus Base:
The amount on which bonuses are calculated. The SIR 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 SIR Coverage Date or any Excess Withdrawals. (See “Excess Withdrawals” under “Withdrawals Under SIR.”)
   
SIR Bonus Period:
A ten-year period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on your tenth Account Anniversary. If you “step up” SIR (described below) during the SIR Bonus Period, the SIR Bonus Period is extended to ten years from the date of the step-up.
   
SIR Coverage Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 59 at issue; otherwise, the first Account Anniversary after you attain age 59.
   
Withdrawal Benefit Base:
The amount used to calculate (1) your Annual Withdrawal Amount and (2) your “SIR Fee.” (See “Cost of SIR.”)
   
You and Your:
The terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest living Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant, as described under “Death of Participant Under SIR with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under SIR with Joint-Life Coverage.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest living annuitant.

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

SIR may be appropriate for you if you are an investor who:
   
·
wants an opportunity for annual income to increase as you grow older.
·
wants a guaranteed stream of income for life without annuitizing, beginning on or after your SIR Coverage Date.
·
wants the option of joint-life coverage.
·
can defer withdrawals during your early Account Years to increase your benefit in later years.
   
SIR may be inappropriate for you if you are an investor who:
   
·
anticipates the need for Excess Withdrawals or Early Withdrawals.
·
wants to invest in funds other than a Designated Fund.
·
wants single-life coverage on a co-owned Contract.
   
SIR is inappropriate if you are an investor who:
   
·
wants to make additional Purchase Payments after the first Account Year.
·
is actively invested in contributory plans, because SIR prohibits any Purchase Payments after the first Account Anniversary.

You may combine SIR with the MAV optional death benefit. Upon annuitization, SIR and the MAV optional death benefit, if elected, automatically terminate.

You may elect to participate in SIR, provided that:

 
·
neither the oldest Participant nor the oldest Annuitant has attained age 86 on or before the date we receive your application (in the case of a non-natural Participant, the oldest Annuitant has not attained age 86 on or before that date);

 
·
you limit the allocation of your Purchase Payments and Account Value to the Designated Funds that we make available with SIR; and

 
·
you do not elect any other optional living benefit available under your Contract.

SIR allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount of money each year, beginning on your SIR Coverage Date, until the death of any Participant if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse if joint-life coverage is elected). Your right to take withdrawals under SIR continues regardless of the investment performance of the Designated Funds, provided that you comply with certain requirements. After your SIR Coverage Date, the amount you can withdraw, in any one year, can be 4%, 5%, or 6% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base, depending upon your age (or the younger spouse’s age in case of joint-life coverage) on the date of your first withdrawal.

In addition, if you make no withdrawals in an Account Year during your SIR Bonus Period, we will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base by an amount equal to 7% of your SIR Bonus Base (6% if you purchased your Contract prior to February 8, 2010, or the date SIR with a 7% bonus became available in your state). The SIR Bonus Period is a 10-year period commencing on your Issue Date. The period will be extended for an additional 10 years commencing on each step-up of the Withdrawal Benefit Base (see “Step-Up Under SIR”), provided that the step-up occurs during the SIR Bonus Period.

If you are participating in SIR, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

To participate in SIR, all of your Account Value must be invested in one or more of the Designated Funds at all times during the term of SIR. (The “term” of SIR is for life, unless your Withdrawal Benefit Base is reduced to zero or SIR is terminated or cancelled as described under “Cancellation of SIR,” “Depleting Your Account Value,” and “Annuitization Under SIR.”) The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are listed in the section entitled “DESIGNATED FUNDS.”

Under SIR, 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 Participant Under SIR with Single-Life Coverage,” and “Death of Participant Under SIR 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:

 
·
increased by any applicable bonuses;

 
·
increased by any step-ups as described under “Step-Up Under SIR”;

 
·
increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date.

 
·
decreased following any Early Withdrawals you take as described under “Early Withdrawals”; and

 
·
decreased following any Excess Withdrawals you take as described under “Excess Withdrawals”.

Determining Your Annual Withdrawal Amount

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is first determined when you make your first withdrawal after your SIR Coverage Date and then on each subsequent Account Anniversary. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is equal to your Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage depends upon your age at the time you make your first withdrawal after your SIR Coverage Date as shown in the table below.

Your Age on the Date of the
First Withdrawal After
Your SIR Coverage Date*
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
   
59 - 64
4%
65 - 79
5%
80 or older
6%
*If you elected joint-life coverage, the age ranges are based upon the age of the younger spouse
  as described under “Joint-Life Coverage.”

Your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will only increase if your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown in the table above. (See “Step-Up Under SIR.”) An increase in the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will increase your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount equals your Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. 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 Account Anniversary and, at that time, will reflect any increases caused by a step-up or a bonus that took place during the prior Account Year and any decreases caused by Excess Withdrawals (described below) that were taken during the prior Account Year. The new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be in effect for all subsequent Account Years, unless and until there is a further change in your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

How SIR Works

Each Account Year, beginning on your SIR 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 (other than as a result of an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal), as long as your Withdrawal Benefit Base is greater than zero, you will receive your full Annual Withdrawal Amount every year until you die.

If you defer taking any withdrawals in an Account Year during the SIR Bonus Period, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be increased by an amount equal to 7% of your SIR Bonus Base (6% if you purchased your Contract prior to February 8, 2010, or the date SIR with a 7% bonus became available in your state). However, if this amount is less than the amount you will receive under a step-up, the Withdrawal Benefit Base will instead be increased by the step-up amount, unless there is a fee increase as described under “Step-Up Under SIR.” In the case of a fee increase, we will notify you in writing, in advance of your Account Anniversary, and seek your written consent to the step-up and fee increase. If you do take a withdrawal, you are still eligible for step-up. (See “Step-Up under SIR.”) In this way, if you defer taking withdrawals during your early Account Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in later Account Years. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is not, however, cumulative: any unused portion of your Annual Withdrawal Amount in any Account Year cannot be applied to a future year.

Note that the timing and amount of your withdrawals may significantly decrease, and even terminate, your total benefits under SIR, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value, as described further under “Withdrawals Under SIR.” Note also that investing in any Fund, other than a Designated Fund, will cancel SIR, as described under “Cancellation of SIR.”

Here is an example of how SIR works.

Assume that you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume also that you are age 65 when your Contract is issued and that you elected to participate in SIR 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 SIR Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Because you reached age 59 prior to your Issue Date, your SIR Coverage Date is your Issue Date. You can begin at any time to withdraw up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. During the SIR Bonus Period, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 7% of your SIR Bonus Base each Account Year in which you do not take a withdrawal. By deferring your withdrawals during a SIR Bonus Period you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base, which in turn may maximize your Annual Withdrawal Amount. After the SIR Bonus period is over, you will no longer be eligible for the 7% bonus each year and it may be in your interest to take the full Annual Withdrawal Amount each year. However, any withdrawal will reduce your Account Value as well as your chances of a higher Annual Withdrawal Amount through step-up. When to take withdrawals will depend upon your own situation. You should discuss your living benefit options with your financial advisor. (For convenience, assume that the investment performance of your underlying investments equals or offsets all Contract expenses. Therefore, your Account Value remains constant throughout the life of your Contract, except for Account Year 2.)
 
Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 by the beginning of Account Year 3. Your Contract is, therefore, eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and SIR Bonus Base. Assume that we have not increased the percentage used to calculate the SIR Fee on newly issued Contracts; therefore we will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your SIR 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 SIR Bonus Base will be $125,000, unless increased by another step-up or reduced by an Excess Withdrawal, and your SIR Bonus Period will now end on your 12th Account Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the step-up). All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

Assume you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71 in Account 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. You can begin withdrawing up to $8,000 each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base, as shown in the following table:

Assume in Account Year 9, you defer taking a withdrawal. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by $8,750 which is 7% of your SIR Bonus Base ($125,000). Your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to $8,438, which is 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base ($168,750), as shown below:

If you have SIR with a 6% bonus, the numbers shown in the above example would be different.

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 Participant over the life of the annuity. Generally speaking, not taking income in a year will increase the Annual Withdrawal Amount during the SIR Bonus Period due to the bonus and the potential for step-ups. In this way, if you defer taking withdrawals during your early Account Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in later Account Years. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is not, however, cumulative: any unused portion of your Annual Withdrawal Amount in any Account Year cannot be applied to a future year.

The total lifetime payments to the Participant could be more or less depending upon investment performance over the life of the Contract and the age to which the Participant 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.

Withdrawals Under SIR

Withdrawals After the SIR Coverage Date

Starting on your SIR Coverage Date and continuing to your Annuity Commencement Date, you may take withdrawals totaling up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Account 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. These withdrawals are subject to withdrawal charges only to the extent they are in excess of the greatest of:

 
·
the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract (discussed under “Free Withdrawal Amount” under “Withdrawal Charge”);

 
·
your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount (subject to conditions discussed under “Tax Issues Under SIR”); and

 
·
your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

The previous example shows withdrawals taken after your SIR Coverage Date. Because they do not exceed your Annual Withdrawal Amount (or your Required Minimum Distribution amount, if higher), the withdrawals do not reduce your Withdrawal Benefit Base or your Annual Withdrawal Amount. The withdrawals in the above example are not subject to any withdrawal charges because they do not exceed any of the following:

 
·
your free withdrawal amount permitted under this Contract,
 
·
your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount, or
 
·
your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

If a withdrawal exceeds the greatest of these amounts, then the withdrawal would be subject to withdrawal charges.

Excess Withdrawals

If you take an Excess Withdrawal, your SIR Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced according to the following formulas:

Your new SIR Bonus Base =
BB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - AWA

Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base =
WBB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - AWA

Where:
   
 
BB =
Your SIR Bonus Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WBB =
Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AV =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AWA =
Your Annual Withdrawal Amount minus any prior partial withdrawals taken during the current Account Year.

Using the facts of the above example, assume that in Account 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 SIR Bonus Base or Withdrawal Benefit 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 $8,000 Annual Withdrawal Amount. After your second withdrawal, your SIR Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced as follows:
           
 
Your new SIR Bonus Base
=
$125,000
x
$121,000 – $6,000                   
         
$121,000 – ($8,000 – $4,000)
           
   
=
$125,000
x
$115,000
         
$117,000
           
   
=
$125,000
x
0.982906
           
   
=
$122,863
   
           
 
Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base
=
$160,000
x
$121,000 – $6,000                   
         
$121,000 – ($8,000 – $4,000)
           
   
=
$160,000
x
$115,000
         
$117,000
           
   
=
$160,000
x
0.982906
           
   
=
$157,265
   
           
Beginning on your Account Anniversary and going forward, your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be reduced to 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $7,863.

If you have SIR with a 6% bonus, the numbers shown in the above example would be different.

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 SIR Bonus 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, and even terminate, your benefits under SIR, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

Early Withdrawals

All withdrawals taken before your SIR Coverage Date, including any “free withdrawal amounts” permitted under your Contract, will be considered Early Withdrawals and your SIR Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced using the following formulas:

Your new SIR Bonus Base
=
BB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV

Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base
=
WBB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
BB  =
Your SIR Bonus Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
WBB  =
Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
WD  =
The amount of the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.

Assume that you purchase a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume also that you are age 45 when your Contract is issued and that you elected to participate in SIR 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 SIR Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 7% of your SIR Bonus Base each year in which you do not take a withdrawal. Your SIR Coverage Date will not occur until your 15th Account Anniversary (the first Account Anniversary after you reach age 59). Any withdrawals you take prior to that time will be Early Withdrawals.
 
Assume that because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 on your second Account Anniversary. Your Contract is therefore eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and SIR Bonus Base. Assume that we have not increased the percentage used to calculate the SIR Fee on newly issued Contracts; therefore, we will step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your SIR Bonus Base to $125,000.
 
Assume that, in Account Year 7, your Account Value has grown to $130,000 and you withdraw $10,000. Because you are age 51 (and younger than age 59), this is an Early Withdrawal. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

=
$160,000
x
0.92308
           
   
=
$147,693
   
           
Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will still be $0 because you have not reached your SIR Coverage Date.

If you have SIR with a 6% bonus, the numbers shown in the above example would be different.

You should be aware that Early Withdrawals could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under SIR, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

In addition to reducing your benefits under SIR, any withdrawal before you reach age 59½ could have adverse state and federal tax liabilities. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Excess Withdrawal or an Early Withdrawal, then your Withdrawal Benefit Base and the SIR Bonus Base will each also be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value. Therefore, your Contract, as well as any benefits available with SIR, 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 Withdrawals or Early Withdrawals, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will not be reduced. Your Contract will end, but your right to receive an annual withdrawal amount 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 SIR

If you elect SIR, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value (“SIR Fee”). The SIR Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter. The SIR Fee will be a percentage of your Withdrawal Benefit Base. This percentage will equal 0.2750% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base on the last day of the Account Quarter if you elected single-life coverage (0.3250% for joint-life coverage). The maximum SIR Fee you can pay in any one Account Year is equal to 1.10% of the highest Withdrawal Benefit Base at any point in that Account Year if you elected single-life coverage (1.30% for joint-life coverage). We reserve the right to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the SIR Fee on newly issued Contracts.

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

 
·
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base and thus your SIR Fee.

 
·
If you make a withdrawal before your SIR Coverage Date or a withdrawal in excess of your Annual Withdrawal Amount, you will decrease your Withdrawal Benefit Base and thus your SIR Fee.

However, on each Account Anniversary, we determine whether favorable investment performance of the Designated Funds may cause the Withdrawal Benefit Base to increase as described under “Step-Up Under SIR.” If your Withdrawal Benefit Base increases because of favorable investment performance, your SIR Fee will also increase because it is recalculated on each Account Anniversary based upon your highest Withdrawal Benefit Base during that Account Year.

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

We reserve the right to make special offers from time to time. Specifically, we reserve the right to waive the SIR 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 SIR

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

 
·
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.)

 
·
Your Account Value must be greater than your current Withdrawal Benefit Base (increased by any applicable 7% or 6% bonus during the SIR Bonus Period).

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

 
·
If we have not had to increase the percentage rate as described above, the percentage rate we use to calculate your SIR Fee will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your SIR Bonus Base.

 
·
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 SIR Fee and step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and SIR Bonus 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 of your Withdrawal Benefit Base and SIR Bonus Base 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, we will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base and SIR Bonus Base to an amount equal to the Account Value, if such amount exceeds your current Withdrawal Benefit Base (adjusted for any applicable 7% bonus increases). If the step-up occurs during the SIR Bonus Period, your SIR Bonus Period will renew for another 10-year period commencing at the time of step-up.

If your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage has already been determined and your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown in the table below, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will increase. After the step-up, your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage multiplied by your new Withdrawal Benefit Base as follows:

Your Age at Step-up*
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
59 - 64
4%
65 - 79
5%
80 or older
6%
*If you elected joint-life coverage, the age ranges are based upon the age of the younger spouse
  as described under “Joint-Life Coverage.”

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 SIR:

Assume that you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume also that you are age 65 when your Contract is issued and that you elected to participate in SIR with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Assume that no withdrawals are taken and, therefore, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase annually by 7%  of your SIR Bonus Base during your SIR Bonus Period. Assume further that no additional Purchase Payments are made, and, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 by the beginning of Account Year 3. Your Contract is, therefore, eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and SIR Bonus Base. Assume that we have not increased the percentage used to calculate the SIR Fee on newly issued Contracts; therefore we will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your SIR Bonus Base to $125,000. Your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $6,250. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

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

If you have SIR with a 6% bonus, the numbers shown in the above example would be different.

The above example assumes that you are age 65 at issue, so that your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is 5%. Assume instead you are age 79 at issue and have attained age 80 on your first Account Anniversary. When your Withdrawal Benefit Base steps-up to $125,000, your new Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is 6% since you had attained age 80 by your first Account Anniversary. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is now $7,500.

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you have the option of electing SIR with single-life coverage or, for a higher SIR 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 primary beneficiary on the Issue Date and remains the sole primary beneficiary while SIR 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 SIR is in effect. Whereas single-life coverage provides annual withdrawals under SIR only until any Participant dies, joint-life coverage provides annual withdrawals under SIR for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. (Note, however, upon the death of a spouse, the Contract, including SIR, ends. To take annual withdrawals under SIR’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 Participant Under SIR with Joint-Life Coverage.”

If you have elected joint-life coverage, the SIR Coverage Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 59 on the Issue Date, and will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 59 if the younger spouse is less than age 59 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 SIR 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 SIR Coverage Date, as shown in the table below.

Age of Younger Spouse on
Date of the First Withdrawal After
Your SIR Coverage Date
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
59 - 64
4%
65 - 79
5%
80 or older
6%

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount equals your Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. Once your Annual Withdrawal Amount is calculated, the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will not change except if a step-up occurs as described under “Step-Up Under SIR.” The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will then be reset, if higher, to the percentage for then attained age of the younger spouse.

The two spouses on the Issue Date are the only two people covered under the joint-life feature. If a Participant 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, SIR 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 SIR 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 SIR can be made and in light of the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

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

Cancellation of SIR

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege,” SIR 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.

SIR will also be cancelled for any of the following:

 
·
upon a termination of the Contract;
 
·
upon annuitization*; or
 
·
your Withdrawal Benefit Base is reduced to zero as a result of Early or Excess Withdrawals.

*Note that the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date permitted under this Contract is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. (See “Selection of Annuity Commencement Date.”)

A change of ownership of the Contract may also cancel your benefits under SIR.

Death of Participant Under SIR with Single-Life Coverage

If you selected single-life coverage, SIR terminates on the death of any Participant 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 primary Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your spouse has the additional option of electing to participate in a new SIR benefit on the original Contract (assuming that 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;

 
·
the new percentage rate used to calculate the SIR Fee will be set by us based on market conditions at the time and may be higher than the current percentage rate used to calculate the SIR Fee;

 
·
the new Withdrawal Benefit Base and the new SIR Bonus Base will each be equal to the Account Value after any Death Benefit has been credited;

 
·
the new Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will be based on the age of the surviving spouse; and

 
·
a new SIR Bonus Period begins.

Note that single-life coverage may be inappropriate on a co-owned Contract, because the living benefit will end on the death of any Participant. Note also that Beneficiaries who are not spouses cannot continue the Contract (see “Spousal Continuance”) or any living benefit under the Contract. Co-owners who are not spouses should, therefore, discuss with their financial advisor whether a living benefit is appropriate for them.

Death of Participant Under SIR with Joint-Life Coverage

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

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

 
·
the new Account Value will be equal to the Death Benefit;

 
·
the SIR Fee for the joint-life coverage option will continue for the surviving spouse as it was immediately prior to the death of the Participant;

 
·
the Withdrawal Benefit Base and the SIR Bonus Base will remain unchanged until the next Account Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in Account Value (see “Step-Up Under SIR”);

 
·
if withdrawals under SIR 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 SIR Coverage Date;

 
·
if withdrawals under SIR have already begun, the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will be the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage that applied to the Contract prior to the death of the Participant; and

 
·
the SIR Bonus Period will continue unchanged from the original contract.

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

If you purchased joint-life coverage and the deceased Participant’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 SIR

Under the terms of SIR, 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.”

Tax Issues Under SIR

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit. If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, it is possible that the election of an optional living benefit, such as SIR, might increase the taxable portion of any withdrawal you make from the Contract. It is not clear whether withdrawals after the Coverage Date while the Contract Value is greater than zero will be taxed as withdrawals or as annuity payments. This is significant for Non-Qualified Contracts because withdrawals are taxed less favorably than are annuity payments. In view of this uncertainty, we intend to adopt a conservative approach and treat such payments as withdrawals for tax purposes. We intend to treat payments pursuant to SIR after the Contract Value becomes zero as annuity payments for tax purposes.

You may not elect a Living Benefit with an inherited Non-Qualified Contract or beneficiary IRA Contract.

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, then 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 Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations (collectively, the “Federal Tax Laws”). These RMD provisions require that an amount be distributed from the retirement plan each year, 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 have assumed for all plans that the Qualified Contract (i.e., your Contract) is the only asset, and we determine a yearly RMD amount taking into account only your Contract (“Yearly RMD Amount”).

When you elect to participate in SIR, we will inform you that you may withdraw amounts up to your Yearly RMD Amount each year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. To assist you in complying with the RMD requirements, in January of each year, we will notify you of your calculated Yearly RMD Amount and inform you that you may withdraw amounts up to your Yearly RMD Amount each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

To the extent that the Yearly RMD Amount attributable to your Contract exceeds the Annual Withdrawal Amount permitted each year under SIR, we currently are 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 SIR, then we will reduce your Account Value dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the withdrawal. In addition, for that year only, your Annual Withdrawal Amount under SIR 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 SIR 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 your receiving, in any Account Year, more than one calendar year’s Yearly RMD Amount.

Currently, any withdrawal in excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount that is taken to satisfy the Yearly RMD Amounts will not be treated as an Excess Withdrawal. However, if there is any material change to the current Code or IRS Rules governing the timing or determination of required minimum distribution amounts, then the Company reserves the right to treat any withdrawal greater than the Annual Withdrawal Amount as an Excess Withdrawal which may significantly reduce the Withdrawal Benefit Base.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

1 Not available to Contracts purchased on or after February 17, 2009.
2 Not available if you purchased your Contract through a Bank of America representative between April 25, 2005 and April 20, 2007.
3 Not available to Contracts purchased on or after August 17, 2009.
 
4 Only available to Contracts purchased through a Huntington Bank representative. This Fund will be closed to all new and subsequent investment as of the close of business on May 15, 2014. The Fund will be liquidated on or about May 16, 2014.

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

If you elected to participate in Income ON Demand II (“IOD II”), Income ON Demand II Escalator (“IOD II Escalator”), Income ON Demand II Plus (“IOD II Plus”), Retirement Income Escalator II (“RIE II”), Income ON Demand III Escalator (“IOD III Escalator”), or Sun Income Riser (“SIR”) and are invested in more than one Designated Fund, we will automatically transfer assets among your Designated Funds to maintain the percentage allocation you selected. We will make these transfers on a quarterly basis.

If you purchased Secured Returns, Secured Returns 2, Secured Returns for Life, Secured Returns for Life Plus, Income ON Demand (“IOD”), Retirement Income Escalator (“RIE”), or Retirement Asset Protector, and you are invested in more than one Designated Fund, we will not automatically transfer your assets among your Designated Funds to maintain the percentage allocation you selected, unless you have instructed us to do so.

We reserve the right to declare that a particular Fund no longer qualifies as a Designated Fund. Written notice will be provided to Contract Owners whenever a fund is no longer considered to be a Designated Fund. If you are invested in a Designated Fund at the time we declare the Fund to no longer 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 one or more of the current Designated Fund(s) if you want to make subsequent Purchase Payments or any additional transfers. (Note that this restriction does not apply to automatic portfolio rebalancing. Likewise, if you are participating in a DCA program and one of the funds receiving transfers under the DCA program is declared no longer to be a Designated Fund, then your Account Value can remain invested in that Fund until the end of your DCA Period. However, before you make any subsequent Purchase Payments, you must first transfer all your Account Value from that Fund into one or more of the current Designated Funds and provide us with new allocation instructions for your DCA program.) We also reserve the right to close Funds only 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 only 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, on IOD, IOD II, IOD II Plus, IOD II Escalator, RIE, RIE II, IOD III Escalator, and SIR, 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 to no longer be a Designated Fund, you will 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 will continue with all of the benefits except for step-up.

BUILD YOUR OWN 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 own portfolio,” you pick funds from the asset classes available at that time. Altogether you may not choose 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 R - BUILD YOUR OWN PORTFOLIO.”

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. 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.

Under the terms of the living benefits, however, there are certain limits on the times when you can make additional Purchase Payments.

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. Likewise, if you are participating in a DCA program and one of the Funds in this portfolio model receiving transfers under the DCA program is declared to no longer be part of the portfolio model, then the program will run through to completion. However, before you make any subsequent Purchase Payments, you must first either (a) reallocate your total Account Value among funds that comply with the current Build Your Own Portfolio categories or (b) transfer your total Account Value to Designated Funds other than the Build Your Own Portfolio model. You must also provide us with new allocation instructions for your DCA program.

DEATH BENEFIT

If the Covered Person 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 Covered Person, we will pay the death benefit to the surviving Participant, if any, or, if there is no Participant, in one sum to your estate. We do not pay a death benefit if the Covered Person 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 Covered Person, we will pay the death benefit upon the first death of such Covered Person.

The death benefit proceeds will remain invested in the Sub-Accounts in accordance with the allocations made by the Contract Owner until the Beneficiary has provided us with Due Proof of Death in good order. Once we have received Due Proof of Death, then investments in the Variable Account may be reallocated in accordance with the Beneficiary’s instructions.

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 Due Proof of Death of the Covered Person in an acceptable form, if you have elected a death benefit payment method before the death of the Covered Person 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, if you were 85 or younger on your Open Date, the death benefit will be the greatest of the following amounts:

 
(1)
your Account Value for the Valuation Period during which the Death Benefit Date occurs;

 
(2)
the amount we would pay if you had surrendered your entire Account on the Death Benefit Date; and

 
(3)
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, when the Account Value is less than the Adjusted Purchase Payments, a withdrawal may cause the basic death benefit to decrease by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

If you were 86 or older on your Open Date, the death benefit is equal to amount (2) above. Because this amount will reflect any applicable withdrawal charges and Market Value Adjustment, it may be less than your Account Value.

Optional Death Benefit

You may enhance the “basic death benefit” by electing the optional death benefit known as the Maximum Anniversary Account Value (“MAV”). You must make your election on or before the Issue Date. You will pay a charge for the optional death benefit . (For a description of the charge, see “Charges for Optional Benefits.”) The optional death benefit is available only if you are younger than age 75 on the Open Date. The optional death benefit election may not be changed after the Contract’s Issue Date. The optional death benefit will be adjusted for all partial withdrawals as described in this Prospectus under the heading “Calculating the Death Benefit.”

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

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

 
·
the amount payable under the basic death benefit above, or

 
·
your highest Account Value on any Account Anniversary before the Covered Person’s 81st birthday, adjusted for any subsequent Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals made between that Account Anniversary and the Death Benefit Date.

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

Spousal Continuance

Under an individually-owned Contract, if you are the Covered Person and your spouse is the sole Beneficiary, upon your death, your spouse may elect to continue the Contract by becoming the new Participant and new Covered Person, rather than receive the death benefit amount. Under a co-owned Contract, if you and your spouse are the Covered Persons and sole Beneficiaries, then upon the death of either you or your spouse, the surviving spouse may continue the Contract as the sole Participant and sole Covered Person. In either case, we will not pay a death benefit, but the Contract’s Account Value will be set to equal the death benefit amount. (See “The Basic Death Benefit” or, if applicable, the “Optional Death Benefit.”) If you are participating in a living benefit and you have joint-life coverage, then your surviving spouse may continue the Contract and the living benefit. If you are participating in a living benefit and you have single-life coverage, then your surviving spouse can continue the Contract, but the living benefit will terminate and no optional living benefit will be available to your surviving spouse. (See “Death of Participant - Single-Life Coverage.”)

All Contract provisions, including, if elected, the optional death benefit (subject to the optional death benefit 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 increased amount will not be treated as premium, but will be treated as income. If you are in a same-sex marriage, see “Federal Defense of Marriage Act and Same-Sex Marriages” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

Calculating the Death Benefit

In calculating the death benefit amount payable under option (3) of “The Basic Death Benefit” or the optional death benefit, each partial withdrawal 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. (See “The Basic Death Benefit.”) A withdrawal may cause the basic death benefit to decrease by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

Rather than receiving the death benefit, the Beneficiary may elect to annuitize, to defer annuitization, or to continue the Contract. In such case, if the death benefit amount payable under the Contract is greater than your Account Value, we will increase the Account Value to equal the death benefit amount. 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. Also, any portion of this new Account Value attributed to the Fixed Account will be transferred to the Money Market Sub-Account (without the application of a Market Value Adjustment). If a surviving spouse, as the named Beneficiary, elects to continue the Contract after the Covered Person’s death, the surviving spouse may transfer any such Fixed Account portion back to the Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period, if we are then currently offering Fixed Account options.

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 mailing 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 surviving spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract. This election is made by sending us written notice in a form acceptable to us. 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. We can defer payment of the death benefit to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940. (See “Payment of Death Benefit.”)

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 five 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 Participant, if any, or the estate of the deceased Participant 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 Participant. 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.” If you are in a same-sex marriage, see “Federal Defense of Marriage Act and Same-Sex Marriages” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

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 Participant 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.

Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the contract’s Annuity Commencement Date or date the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate your Beneficiary, or your Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which you or your Beneficiary last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. This “escheatment” is revocable, however, and the state is obligated to pay the death benefit if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation.  To prevent such escheatment, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designations, including full names and complete addresses, if and as they change.

Payment of Death Benefit

Payment of the death benefit in cash will be made within seven 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 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, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.”)

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:

 
·
The earliest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first Account Anniversary.

 
·
The latest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th 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.

 
·
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:

 
·
We must receive your notice, in good order, at least 30 days before the current Annuity Commencement Date.

 
·
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. Note that if the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the first month after the Annuity Commencement Date, only one annuity payment will be made.

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 of 3%; 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 10 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, less any applicable withdrawal charge; the discount rate for this purpose will be the assumed interest rate of 3%. 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, except as otherwise provided under your applicable living benefit.

You must 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. You may allocate your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity among the Sub-Accounts, or we will use your existing allocations. If, however, a portion of your Account Value was allocated to a Guarantee Period at the time of annuitization, that portion will be exchanged for Annuity Units and allocated among the Sub-Accounts you select at annuitization or, if you make no such selection, then in proportion to the Sub-Accounts you were invested in prior to annuitization.

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

Remember that the Annuity Option 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:

 
·
We deduct a proportional amount of the Account Fee, based on the fraction of the current Account Year that has elapsed.

 
·
If applicable, we apply the Market Value Adjustment to your Account Value in the Fixed Account, which may result in an addition or no change.

 
·
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 Accumulation Units for Annuity Units upon which we will assess annual insurance charges of 1.70% of your average daily Annuity Unit values. 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 a transfer among Sub-Accounts). 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.

After you annuitize, we will deduct total insurance charges at an annual rate of 1.70% of your average daily Annuity Unit values. We will no longer deduct the mortality and expense risk charge or the charges for any optional living benefit or optional death benefit. The 1.70% charge, which includes an administrative expense charge and a distribution fee, compensates us for the risks and expenses associated with providing annuity payments during the Income Phase.

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, except as otherwise provided under your applicable living benefit.

Transfer of Variable Annuity Units

During the Income Phase, the Annuitant may transfer Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for Annuity Units in another Sub-Account, up to 12 times each Account Year. Any such transfers 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 a transfer, the Annuitant sends us, at our mailing address, a written request stating the number of Annuity Units in the Sub-Account he or she wishes to transfer 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 transfer would not be affected. To calculate this number, we use Annuity Unit values for the Valuation Period during which we receive the transfer request.

Before transferring 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 transfers among Sub-Accounts. No transfers to or from a Fixed Annuity are permitted.

Account Fee

During the Income Phase, we deduct the annual Account fee of $50 in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment. We do not deduct the annual Account fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Annuity Payment Rates

Annuity payment rates are the rates we use to determine the dollar amount of an annuity payment under each Annuity Option. The Contract contains annuity payment rate schedules for each Annuity Option described in this Prospectus. These schedules 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. We may change these rates under Group Contracts for Accounts established after the effective date of such change. (See “Modification.”)

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 Covered Person’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

An Individual Contract belongs to the individual to whom the Contract is issued. A Group Contract belongs to the Owner. In the case of a Group Contract, the Owner may expressly reserve all Contract rights and privileges; otherwise, each Participant will be entitled to exercise such rights and privileges. In any case, such 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 Covered Person 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 Participants under a Group Contract; 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; and each Participant, in like manner, may change the ownership interest in a Contract. 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 or Participant, as appropriate, 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 Covered Person named when the Contract is issued. This means that all death benefits and surrender charge waivers will continue to be based on the Covered Person and not the Participant. The amount payable on the death of the new Participant will be the Surrender Value.

Voting of Fund Shares

To the extent required by law, we will vote all shares held in the Variable Account in accordance with instructions we receive from persons with voting interests in the Funds. During the Accumulation Phase, you will have the right to give voting instructions, except in the case of a Group Contract in which the Owner has reserved this right. During the Income Phase, the Payee (that is, the Annuitant or Beneficiary entitled to receive benefits) is the person having the right to give voting instructions.

Before a vote of the shareholders of a Fund occurs, each person with voting interests in the Fund will receive voting materials from us. We will ask those persons to instruct us on how to vote and to return their respective voting instructions to us in a timely manner. Each such person is permitted to cast votes based on the dollar value of the shares of each Fund that we hold for your Contract in the corresponding Sub-Account. We calculate this value based on the number of Variable Accumulation Units or Variable Annuity Units allocated to your Contract as of the date set by the Fund and the value of each Variable Accumulation Unit or Variable Annuity Unit on that date. We count fractional votes.

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 person(s) with voting interests in the Fund. Because of this method of proportional voting, a small number of persons with voting interests in the Fund may determine the outcome of a shareholder vote. If, however, we determine that we are permitted to vote the Fund shares in our own right, then we may do so.

Note: Owners of Qualified Contracts issued on a group basis may be subject to other voting provisions of the particular retirement plan and under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Employees who contribute to retirement 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 retirement plans may also provide the additional extent, if any, to which an Owner shall follow voting instructions of persons with rights under those plans. If no voting instructions are received from any such person with respect to a particular Contract, the Owner may instruct us as to how to vote the number of Fund shares for which instructions may be given.

Reports to Owners

We will send you, by regular U.S. mail, confirmation of all Purchase Payments (including any interest credited), withdrawals, (including any withdrawal charges and 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 five business days after each calendar quarter, we will send you, by regular U.S. mail, 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 calendar 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.

If you have enrolled in the electronic delivery service and consented to receive documents electronically, we will send you an email at the address you provided notifying you when we have posted your confirmations, statements, and reports on our website.

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. You will receive notice of any such Fund changes that affect your Contract by a supplement to this Prospectus.

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 supplement this Prospectus 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. Any changes we make by splitting or combining Variable Accumulation Unit values must comply with federal securities laws and regulations.

Modification

Upon notice to the Participant, in the case of an Individual Contract, and the Owner and Participant(s), in the case of a Group Contract (or the Payee(s) during the Income Phase), we may modify the Contract if such modification is consistent with federal securities laws and regulations and: (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, Participants, or Payees, as applicable. In the event of any such modification, we may supplement this Prospectus to reflect such modification.

In addition, upon notice to the Owner, we may modify a Group Contract to change the withdrawal charges, Account Fee, mortality and expense risk charges, administrative expense charges, the tables used in determining the amount of the first monthly variable annuity and fixed annuity payments and the formula used to calculate the Market Value Adjustment, provided that such modification applies only to Participant Accounts established after the effective date of such modification. In order to exercise our modification rights in these particular instances, we must notify the Owner of such modification in writing. The notice shall specify the effective date of such modification which must be at least 60 days following the date we mail notice of modification. All of the charges and the annuity tables which are provided in the Group Contract prior to any such modification will remain in effect permanently, unless improved by the Company, with respect to Participant Accounts established prior to the effective date of such modification.

Discontinuance of New Participants

We may limit or discontinue the acceptance of new Applications and the issuance of new Certificates under a Group Contract by giving 30 days prior written notice to the Owner. This will not affect rights or benefits with respect to any Participant Accounts established under such Group Contract prior to the effective date of such limitation or discontinuance.

Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law, to: (1) combine any two 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 a Participant; and (4) restrict or eliminate any of the voting rights of Participants (or Owners) or other persons who have voting rights as to the Variable Account. Where required by law, we will obtain approval of changes from Participants or any appropriate regulatory authority. In the event of any change pursuant to this provision, we may supplement this Prospectus and make appropriate endorsement to the Contract as necessary 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 mailing 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. (Information about your right to return period can be found on the first page of your Contract or prominently displayed in an endorsement to your Contract. You can also obtain information about your right to return period by contacting your sales representative.) When we receive the returned Contract, it will be cancelled and we will refund to you your Account Value less the adjusted Purchase Payment Interest. The adjusted Purchase Payment Interest that may be deducted is equal to the lesser of:

 
·
the portion of the Account Value that is attributable to any Purchase Payment Interest, and

 
·
all Purchase Payment Interest.

This means you receive any gain on Purchase Payment Interest and we bear any loss. If applicable state law requires return of Purchase Payments, we will return the greater of (1) your Surrender Value or (2) 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 seven 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 a Participant establishing an IRA a “ten day free-look,” notwithstanding the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

TAX PROVISIONS

This section provides general information on the federal income tax consequences of ownership of a Contract and is not intended as tax advice. 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 state or other income tax laws, any state and local estate or inheritance tax, or other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under a Contract. 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.

When you invest in an annuity contract, you usually do not pay taxes on your investment gains until you withdraw the money – generally for retirement purposes. If you invest in a variable annuity as part of an individual retirement plan, pension plan or employer-sponsored retirement program, your Contract is called a “Qualified Contract.” If your annuity is independent of any formal retirement or pension plan, it is termed a “Non-Qualified Contract.” The tax rules applicable to Qualified Contracts vary according to the type of retirement plan and the terms and conditions of the plan.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Provisions

The following discussion applies only to those Contracts issued in the United States. For a discussion of tax provisions affecting Contracts issued in Puerto Rico, see “Puerto Rico Tax Provisions.”

Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts

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 an annuity should be based on the assumption that the purchase of an annuity 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).

Annuity Payments. 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.

Penalty Tax on Certain Withdrawals. 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). Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. Also, additional exceptions apply to distributions from a Qualified Contract. You should consult a qualified tax professional with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds. Death benefits paid upon the death of a Participant are not life insurance benefits and will generally be includable 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 Participant’s or Annuitant’s death, i.e., the investment in the contract must still be determined by reference to the Participant’s investment in the Contract. Special mandatory distribution rules also apply after the death of the Participant when the beneficiary is not the surviving spouse of the Participant.

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.

Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of a Contract. A transfer or assignment of ownership of a Contract, the designation of an Annuitant other than the Owner, the selection of certain maturity dates, or the exchange of a Contract may result in certain tax consequences to you that are not discussed herein. An Owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment or exchange should consult a qualified tax professional as to the tax consequences.

Withholding. Annuity distributions are generally subject to withholding for the recipient’s federal income tax liability.  Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld from distributions.

Multiple Contracts. All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner during any calendar year are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in such owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs.

Partial Annuitization. Under a new tax provision enacted in 2010, if part of an annuity contract’s value is applied to an annuity option that provides payments for one or more lives or for a period of at least ten years, those payments may be taxed as annuity payments instead of withdrawals. None of the payment options under the Contract is intended to qualify for this “partial annuitization” treatment.

Taxation of Qualified Contracts

“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. Adverse tax consequences may result if you do not ensure that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contract comply with the law.

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. Adverse tax consequences to the retirement plan, the participant or both may result if the Contract is transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments, unless the plan complies with all the requirements applicable to such benefits prior to transferring the Contract.

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 (“TSA”).

Effective October 1, 2008, we stopped issuing any new TSAs, including Texas Optional Retirement Program annuities. We no longer accept any additional Purchase Payments to any previously issued TSAs.

The Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) comprehensive TSA regulations are generally effective January 1, 2009, and these regulations, subsequent IRS guidance, and/or the terms of an employer’s TSA plan impose new restrictions on TSAs, including restrictions on (1) the availability of hardship distributions and loans, (2) TSA exchanges within the same employer’s TSA plan, and (3) TSA transfers to another employer’s TSA plan. You should consult with a qualified tax professional about how the regulations affect you and your TSA.

If TSAs 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 you attain age 59½, have a severance from employment with the employer, die or become 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. Financial hardship withdrawals (as well as certain other premature withdrawals) are fully taxable and will be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty, in addition to any applicable Contract withdrawal charge. Under certain circumstances the 10% federal income tax penalty will not apply if the withdrawal is for medical expenses. A financial hardship withdrawal may not be repaid once it is taken.

The IRS’s TSA regulations provide that TSA financial hardship withdrawals will be subject to the IRS rules applicable to hardship distributions from 401(k) plans. Specifically, if you have not terminated your employment or reached age 59½, you may be able to withdraw a limited amount of monies if you have an immediate and heavy financial need and the withdrawal amount is necessary to satisfy such financial need. An immediate and heavy financial need may arise only from:

 
·
deductible medical expenses incurred by you, your spouse, or your dependents;
 
·
payments of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for you, your spouse, or your dependents;
 
·
costs related to the purchase of your principal residence (not including mortgage payments);
 
·
payment necessary to prevent eviction from your principal residence or foreclosure of the mortgage on your principal residence;
 
·
payments for burial or funeral expenses for your parent, spouse, children, or dependents; or
 
·
expenses for the repair of damage to your principal residence that would qualify for the federal income tax casualty deduction.

You will be required to represent in writing to us (1) that your specified immediate and heavy financial need cannot reasonably be relieved through insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of your assets, by ending any contributions you are making under your TSA plan, by other distributions and nontaxable loans under any of your qualified plans, or by borrowing from commercial sources and (2) that your requested withdrawal amount complies with applicable law, including the federal tax law limit. And, unless your TSA was issued prior to September 25, 2007 and the only payments you made to such TSA were TSA funds you transferred directly to us from another TSA carrier (a “90-24 Transfer TSA”), your TSA employer also may need to agree in writing to your hardship request.

If your TSA contains a provision that permits loans, you may request a loan but you will be required to represent in writing to us that your requested loan amount complies with applicable law, including the federal tax law limit. And, unless your TSA is a 90-24 Transfer TSA, your TSA employer also may need to agree in writing to your loan request.

TSAs, like IRAs, are subject to required minimum distributions under the Code. TSAs 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 TSA plan, you may be entitled to transfer or exchange all or a portion of your TSA to one or more alternative funding options within the same or different TSA plan. You should consult the documents governing your TSA plan and your plan administrator for information as to such investment alternatives. If you wish to transfer/exchange your TSA, you will be able to do so only if the issuer of the new TSA certifies to us that the transfer/exchange is permissible under the TSA regulations and the applicable TSA plan. Your TSA employer also may need to agree in writing to your transfer/exchange request.

Individual Retirement Accounts and Annuities. Individual Retirement Accounts and Annuities (“IRAs”), as defined in Section 408 of the Code, permit eligible individuals to make annual contributions of up to the lesser of a specified dollar amount for the year or the amount of compensation includible in the individual’s gross income for the year. The contributions may be deductible in whole or in part, depending on the individual’s income. In addition, certain distributions from some other types of retirement plans may be “rolled over” into an IRA on a tax-deferred basis without regard to these limits. Amounts in the IRA (other than nondeductible contributions) are taxed when distributed from the IRA. A 10% penalty tax generally applies to distributions made before age 59½, unless an exception applies. 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 certain eligible individuals 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 roll over from or convert a traditional IRA 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.  Distributions from a Roth IRA are generally not taxed, except that once aggregate distributions exceed contributions to the Roth IRA, income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during the five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any Roth IRA.  A 10% penalty tax may apply to amounts attributable to a conversion from an IRA if they are distributed during the five taxable years beginning with the year in which the conversion was made.

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.

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 from a Qualified Contract used in connection with a qualified pension plan, from a tax-sheltered annuity, a governmental Code Section 457 plan or an IRA and roll over some or all of 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:

 
·
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;

 
·
any required minimum distribution; or

 
·
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 be 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 Participant or Payee elects to make a direct rollover of the distribution to another qualified retirement plan that is eligible to receive the rollover; however, a non-surviving-spouse Beneficiary may elect a direct rollover only to a so-called inherited IRA. 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 Participant or Payee provides us his or her taxpayer identification number and instructs us (in the manner prescribed) not to withhold. The Participant 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 non-qualified 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.

In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts have been considered for Federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their contracts due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is limited guidance in this area, and some features of our Contracts, such as the flexibility of an owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the investment divisions of the separate account, have not been explicitly addressed in published rulings. While we believe that the Contracts do not give Owners investment control over separate account assets, we reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to prevent an Owner from being treated as the Owner of the separate account assets supporting the Contract. 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.

Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits

For a further discussion, please refer to “Tax Issues Under SIR.”

Qualified Contracts. If your Contract is a Qualified Contract other than a Roth IRA, 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.

The IRS’s RMD regulations provide that the annual RMD amount is to be calculated based on the Contract’s Account Value as of 12/31 plus “the actuarial present value of any additional benefits” that are provided under your Contract (such as optional death and living benefits) which is also calculated as of 12/31. When we notify you yearly of the RMD amount, we will inform you if the calculation included the actuarial present value of any additional benefits since such inclusion would have increased your RMD amount. Because of the above actuarial present value requirements, your initial election of a Contract’s optional benefit could cause your RMD amount to be higher than it would be without such an election. Additionally, if your RMD amount exceeds your guaranteed withdrawal amount under an optional living benefit, you will have to withdraw more than the guaranteed withdrawal amount to avoid the imposition of a 50% excise tax, causing a reset of your guaranteed withdrawal benefit. Prior to electing to participate in any optional benefit, you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the possible effect of that benefit on your yearly RMD amounts.

You may take an RMD amount calculated for a particular Individual Retirement Annuity from that Annuity or from another IRA 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, 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, 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, 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 convert such a traditional Annuity or Account to a Roth IRA (see “Roth Individual Retirement Arrangements”), the IRS’s rules for determining the amount of your taxable income at the time of conversion include an amount based on the RMD actuarial present value requirements discussed above. Thus, your election of a Contract’s optional benefit 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.

For Qualified Contracts issued other than as Individual Retirement Annuities, (1) we do not calculate your annual RMD amount nor do we notify you of such amount and (2) 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 by the trustee or custodian in the Account’s RMD calculations.

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 your 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 (determined without regard to surrender charges) 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 benefit. If this were to occur, election of an optional benefit could cause any withdrawal, including a withdrawal under the withdrawal benefit of any optional living benefit, to have a higher proportion of the withdrawal derived from taxable investment earnings. Prior to electing to participate in an optional benefit (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.”

Federal Defense of Marriage Act and Same-Sex Marriages

The Contract provides that upon your death a surviving spouse may have certain continuation rights that he or she may elect to exercise for the Contract’s death benefit and any joint-life coverage under an optional living benefit. Under federal law, all such Contract continuation rights are available only to a person who is defined as a “spouse.” Previously, under the federal Defense of Marriage Act, that definition did not include a same-sex spouse. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional; therefore same-sex marriages that are recognized under state law are now also recognized under federal law. The Treasury Department and the IRS have recently announced that spousal status will be determined based on the marriage laws of the state or country in which the marriage was celebrated, regardless of the marriage laws of the state in which an individual resides. Some uncertainty remains, however, and you should consult with a qualified tax professional for further information.

Federal Estate Taxes

While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the Contract, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary by virtue of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent’s gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Please consult an estate planning advisor for more information.

Generation-skipping Transfer Tax

Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a “generation-skipping transfer tax” when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS. Please consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) permanently extended the laws governing estate taxes, gift taxes and generation skipping transfer taxes that were put in place by the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (TRA 2010), with one notable exception – the top estate tax, gift tax and generation skipping tax rate increases from 35% to 40%.

Medicare Tax

Beginning in 2013, distributions from non-qualified annuity policies will be considered “investment income” for purposes of the newly enacted Medicare tax on investment income. Thus, in certain circumstances, a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions (e.g. earnings) to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts ($200,000 for filing single, $250,000 for married filing jointly and $125,000 for married filing separately.) Please consult a tax advisor for more information.

Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico

The Internal Revenue Service has announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance or annuity contracts issued by a Puerto Rico branch of a United States life insurance company is U.S.-source income that is generally subject to United States federal income tax.

Annuity Purchases by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations

The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser’s country of citizenship or residence. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax professional regarding U.S. state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.

Possible Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contract could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a qualified tax professional with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Contract.

We have the right to modify the Contract in response to legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity contract owners currently receive. We make no guarantee regarding the tax status of any contact and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice.

Puerto Rico Tax Provisions

The Contract offered by this Prospectus is considered a non-qualified annuity contract under Section 1022 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended and Section 1031.01 of the 2011 Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico, as amended (collectively the “Puerto Rico Code”). Under the current provisions of the Puerto Rico Code, no income tax is payable on increases in value of accumulation shares of annuity units credited to a variable annuity contract until payments are made to the annuitant or other payee under such contract.

When payments are made from your Contract in the form of an annuity, the annuitant or other payee will be required to include as gross income the lesser of the amount received during the taxable year or the portion of the amount received equal to 3% of the aggregate premiums or other consideration paid for the annuity. The amount, if any, in excess of the included amount is excluded from gross income as a return of premium. After an amount equal to the aggregate premiums or other consideration paid for the annuity has been excluded from gross income, all of the subsequent annuity payments are considered to be taxable income.

When a payment under a Contract is made in a lump sum, the amount of the payment would be included in the gross income of the Annuitant or other Payee to the extent it exceeds the Annuitant’s aggregate premiums or other consideration paid.

The provisions of the Puerto Rico Code with respect to qualified retirement plans described in this Prospectus vary significantly from those under the Internal Revenue Code. We currently offer the Contract in Puerto Rico in connection with Individual Retirement Arrangements that qualify under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code but do not qualify under the Puerto Rico Code. See the applicable text of this Prospectus under the heading “U.S. Federal Income Tax Provisions” dealing with such Arrangements and their RMD requirements. We may make Contracts available for use with other retirement plans that similarly qualify under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code but do not qualify under the Puerto Rico Code.

As a result of IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-75, as amplified by Revenue Ruling 2004-97, we will treat Contract distributions and withdrawals occurring on or after January 1, 2005 as U.S.-source income that is subject to U.S. income tax withholding and reporting. Under “TAX PROVISIONS,” see “Pre-Distribution Taxation of Contracts,” “Distributions and Withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts,” “Withholding” and “Non-Qualified Contracts.” You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice regarding the effect of Revenue Ruling 2004-75 on your U.S. and Puerto Rico income tax situation.

For information regarding the income tax consequences of owning a Contract, you should consult a qualified tax professional.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT

We perform certain administrative functions relating to the Contract, Participant 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, Participant Account number and type, the status of each Participant 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 and Certificates; 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 or 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”), 96 Worcester Street, 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 Participant 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 7.00% of Purchase Payments, and 1.25% annually of the Participant’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 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 in amount 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” compensations, 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 Contracts 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; Credits; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates.” During 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively, approximately $154,301, $1,998,002, and $3,475,732 in commissions were paid to but not retained by Clarendon in connection with the distribution of the Contracts described in this Prospectus.

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. 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 location: 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549-0102, telephone (202) 551-8090. The SEC’s public reference room will also provide copies by mail for a fee. You may also find these materials on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

STATE REGULATION

The Company is subject to the laws of the State of Delaware governing life insurance companies and to regulation by the Commissioner of Insurance of Delaware. An annual statement is filed with the Commissioner 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 Commissioner or his agents at any time and a full examination of its operations is conducted at periodic intervals.

The Company is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other states and jurisdictions in which it is licensed to operate. The laws of the State of Delaware and the various jurisdictions establish supervisory agencies with 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. Each insurance company is required to file detailed annual reports with supervisory agencies in each of the jurisdictions in which it does business and its operations and accounts are subject to examination by such agencies at regular intervals.

In addition, many states regulate affiliated groups of insurers, such as the Company and its affiliates, 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. Such insurance holding company legislation protects the Company’s ability to pay all guaranteed contract benefits, including any optional living benefits and death benefits. 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. A state’s assessment on insurers in connection with the state guaranty fund would not affect the Company’s obligation to pay guaranteed contract benefits, including any optional living benefits and death benefits. If an assessment were so large as to affect the Company’s own ability to meet its obligations, then the provisions to excuse, defer, or offset such assessment would allow the Company to pay guaranteed contract benefits.

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

The Company, like other insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, Sun Life (U.S.) believes that, at the present time, there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the Variable Account, on the ability of Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the Contract.

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, 2013 are also included in the SAI.

ACCOUNT YEAR and ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY: Your first Account Year is the period 365 days (366, if a leap year) from the date on which we issued your Contract. Your Account Anniversary is the last day of an Account Year. Each Account Year after the first is the 365-day period that begins on your Account Anniversary. For example, if the Issue Date is on March 12, the first Account Year is determined from the Issue Date and ends on March 12 of the following year. Your Account Anniversary is March 12 and all Account Years after the first are measured from March 12. (If the Anniversary Date falls on a non-Business Day, the previous Business Day will be used.)

ACCUMULATION PHASE: The period before the Annuity Commencement Date and during the lifetime of the Annuitant (and while the Covered Person and all Owners are still alive) during which you make Purchase Payments under the Contract. This is called the “Accumulation Period” in the Contract.

WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, & MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

Part 1: Variable Account (the Market Value Adjustment does not apply to the Variable Account)

(a)
The free withdrawal amount in any year is equal to the greater of (1) the Contract’s earnings during the prior Account Year, and (2) 10% of any Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years. In Account Year 1, the free withdrawal amount is $4,000, which equals 10% of the Purchase Payment of $40,000. On a full withdrawal of $41,000, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $37,000, which equals the Account Value of $41,000 minus the free withdrawal amount of $4,000.
   
(b)
In Account Year 4, the free withdrawal amount is $4,500, which equals the prior Account Year’s earnings. On a full withdrawal of $52,100, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $40,000. The first $4,500 withdrawn is the free amount, then Purchase Payments are withdrawn and subject to a withdrawal charge. The remaining $7,600 of this withdrawal is considered earnings and is not subject to a withdrawal charge.
   
(c)
In Account Year 8, the free withdrawal amount is $40,000, which equals 100% of the Purchase Payment of $40,000. On a full withdrawal of $72,800, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $0, since the Purchase Payment amount subject to a withdrawal charge equals $0.

Partial Withdrawal

Assume a single Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made on the Issue Date, no additional Purchase Payments are made, no partial withdrawals have been taken prior to the fourth Account Year, and there are a series of four partial withdrawals made during the fourth Account Year of $4,100, $9,000, $12,000, and $20,000.

(a)
In Account Year 4, the free withdrawal amount is $4,500, which equals the prior Account Year’s earnings. The partial withdrawal amount of $4,100 is less than the free withdrawal amount, so there is no withdrawal charge.
   
(b)
Since a partial withdrawal of $4,100 was taken, the remaining free withdrawal amount in Account Year 4 is $4,500 - $4,100 = $400. Therefore, $400 of the $9,000 withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge, and $8,600 is subject to a withdrawal charge.
   
(c)
Since the total of the two prior Account Year 4 partial withdrawals ($13,100) is greater than the free withdrawal amount of $4,500, there is no remaining free withdrawal amount. The entire withdrawal amount of $12,000 is subject to a withdrawal charge.
   
(d)
Since the total of the three prior Account Year 4 partial withdrawals ($25,100) is greater than the free withdrawal amount of $4,500, there is no remaining free withdrawal amount. Since the total amount of Purchase Payments was $40,000 and $20,600 of the Purchase Payments has already been surrendered, only $19,400 of this $20,000 withdrawal comes from withdrawing Purchase Payments. The remaining $600 of this withdrawal is considered earnings and is not subject to a withdrawal charge.

Note that since all of the Purchase Payments were liquidated by the final withdrawal of $20,000, the total withdrawal charge for the four Account Year 4 withdrawals is $2,400, which is the same amount that was assessed for a full liquidation in Account Year 4 in the example on the previous page. Any additional Account Year 4 withdrawals in the example shown on this page would come from the liquidating of earnings and would not be subject to a withdrawal charge.


 
 

 

Part 2 -- Fixed Account -- Examples of the Market Value Adjustment (“MVA”)

The MVA Factor is:

(
1 + I
)
N/12
-  1
1 + J + b
 

These examples assume the following:

1)
The Guarantee Amount was allocated to a 5-year Guarantee Period with a Guaranteed Interest Rate of 6% or .06.
2)
The date of surrender is 2 years from the Expiration Date (N = 24).
3)
The value of the Guarantee Amount on the date of surrender is $11,910.16.
4)
The interest earned in the current Account Year is $674.16.
5)
No transfers or partial withdrawals affecting this Guarantee Amount have been made.
6)
Withdrawal charges, if any, are calculated in the same manner as shown in the examples in Part 1.

Example of a Positive MVA:

Assume that on the date of surrender, the current rate (J) is 5% or .05 and the b factor is zero.

The MVA factor =
(
1 + I
)
N/12
-  1
1 + J + b
           
 =
(
1 + .06
)
24/12
-  1
1 + .05
           
=
(
1.010
)
2
-  1
           
=
 
1.019 - 1
     
           
=
 
.019
     

The value of the Guarantee Amount less interested credit to the Guarantee Amount in the current Account Year is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:

($11,910.16 - $674.16) x .019 = $213.48

$213.48 represents the MVA that would be added to the value of the Guarantee Amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge. For a partial withdrawal of $2,000 from this Guarantee Amount, the MVA would be ($2,000.00 - $674.16) x .019 = $25.19.$25.19 represents the MVA that would be added to the value of the partial withdrawal amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.


 
 

 

APPENDIX C -
PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFITS AND EXAMPLES

5% PREMIUM ROLL-UP (“5% ROLL-UP”) DEATH BENEFIT

Under the 5% Roll-Up, the death benefit will be the greater of:

·
the amount payable under the basic death benefit, or
   
·
the sum of your total Purchase Payments plus interest accruals, adjusted for partial withdrawals.

Under this death benefit, interest accrues at a rate of 5% per year on Purchase Payments and transfers to the Variable Account while they remain in the Variable Account. The 5% interest accruals will continue until the earlier of:

·
the first day of the month following your 80th birthday, or
   
·
the day the death benefit amount under this death benefit equals twice the sum of your Adjusted Purchase Payments.

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Issue Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Sub-Accounts. No withdrawals are made. The Owner dies in the ninth Account Year. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000, and the value of the Purchase Payments accumulated at 5% until the Death Benefit Date is $145,000. The calculation of the death benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$135,000
Cash Surrender Value
=
$135,000
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
5% Premium Roll-Up Value *
=
$145,000
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore
=
$145,000

* The 5% Premium Roll-Up Value is capped at 2 times the Adjusted Purchase Payments. Therefore, the cap = 2 x $100,000 = $200,000.

Example 2:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Issue Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Sub-Accounts and that the Account Value is $150,000 just prior to a $30,000 withdrawal. The Owner dies in the ninth Account Year. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $90,000. The calculation of the death benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$  90,000
Cash Surrender Value*
=
$  89,950
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments**
=
$  80,000
5% Premium Roll-Up Value***
=
$116,000
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore
=
$116,000

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”

**Adjusted Purchase Payments can be calculated as follows: Purchase Payments x (Account Value after withdrawal ÷ Account Value before withdrawal) = $100,000 x ($120,000 ÷ $150,000) = $80,000.

***The 5% Premium Roll-Up Value is capped at 2 times the Adjusted Purchase Payments. Therefore, the cap = 2 x $80,000 = $160,000.

EARNINGS ENHANCEMENT BENEFIT PREMIER (“EEB PREMIER”) DEATH BENEFIT

If you elected EEB Premier, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the basic death benefit, PLUS the “EEB Premier amount.” Calculated as of the Death Benefit Date, the “EEB Premier amount” is determined as follows:

·
If you are 69 or younger on your Open Date, the “EEB Premier amount” will be 45% of the difference between your Account Value and your Adjusted Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 100% of (a) the Adjusted Purchase Payments made prior to your death minus (b) any Purchase Payments made within the twelve months prior to your death but not within your first Account Year.
   
·
If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Open Date, the “EEB Premier amount” will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Adjusted Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 40% of (a) the Adjusted Purchase Payments made prior to your death minus (b) any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death but not within your first Account Year. In addition, on the Account Anniversary following your 85th birthday, the “EEB Premier amount” will be locked in. Partial withdrawals, whether before or after your 85th birthday, will proportionally reduce the “EEB Premier amount.”

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Issue Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts, no withdrawals are made and the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the owner’s 70th birthday. Assume death occurs in Account Year 9. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$135,000
Cash Surrender Value*
=
$135,000
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore
=
$135,000

-- PLUS --

The EEB amount, calculated as follows:
   
Account Value minus Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$  35,000
45% of the above amount
=
$  15,750
Cap of 100% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB Premier amount
=
$  15,750

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the basic death benefit plus the EEB Premier amount = $135,000 + $15,750 = $150,750.

Example 2:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Issue Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts and that the Account Value is $135,000 just prior to a $20,000 withdrawal. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $115,000. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the owner’s 70th birthday and death occurs in year 9.

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$115,000
Cash Surrender Value*
=
$115,000
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments**
=
$  85,185
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore
=
$115,000

-- PLUS --

The EEB amount, calculated as follows:
   
Account Value minus Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$29,815
45% of the above amount
=
$13,417
Cap of 100% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$85,185
The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB Premier amount
=
$13,417

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the basic death benefit plus the EEB Premier amount = $115,000 + $13,417 = $128,417.

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”

**Adjusted Purchase Payments can be calculated as follows: Payments x (Account Value after withdrawal ÷ Account Value before withdrawal) = $100,000 x ($115,000 ÷ $135,000) = $85,185.

EARNINGS ENHANCEMENT BENEFIT PREMIER PLUS (“EEB PREMIER PLUS”) DEATH BENEFIT

If you elected EEB Premier Plus, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the basic death benefit, PLUS the “EEB Premier Plus amount.” Calculated as of the Death Benefit Date, the “EEB Premier Plus amount” is determined as follows:

·
If you are 69 or younger on your Open Date, the “EEB Premier Plus amount” will be 75% of the difference between your Account Value and your Adjusted Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 150% of (a) the Adjusted Purchase Payments made prior to your death minus (b) any Purchase Payments made within the 12 months prior to your death but not within your first Account Year.
   
·
If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Open Date, the “EEB Premier Plus amount” will be 35% of the difference between your Account Value and your Adjusted Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 60% of (a) the Adjusted Purchase Payments made prior to your death minus (b) any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death but not within your first Account Year. In addition, on the Account Anniversary following your 85th birthday, the “EEB Premier Plus amount” will be locked in. Partial withdrawals, whether before or after your 85th birthday, will proportionally reduce the “EEB Premier Plus amount.”

Example:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Issue Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts, no withdrawals are made and the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the owner’s 70th birthday. Assume death occurs in Account Year 9. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$135,000
Cash Surrender Value*
=
$135,000
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore
=
$135,000

--PLUS --

The EEB Premier Plus amount, calculated as follows:
   
Account Value minus Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$  35,000
75% of the above amount
=
$  26,250
Cap of 150% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$150,000
The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB Premier Plus amount
=
$  26,250

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the basic death benefit plus the EEB Premier Plus amount = $135,000 + $26,250 = $161,250.

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”

EARNINGS ENHANCEMENT BENEFIT PREMIER WITH MAV (“EEB PREMIER WITH MAV”) DEATH BENEFIT

If you elected EEB Premier with MAV, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the MAV death benefit PLUS the “EEB Premier amount.” Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the “EEB Premier amount” is as follows:

·
If you are 69 or younger on your Open Date, the “EEB Premier amount” will be 45% of the difference between your Account Value and your Adjusted Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 100% of (a) the Adjusted Purchase Payments made prior to your death minus (b) any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death but not within your first Account Year.
   
·
If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Open Date, the “EEB Premier amount” will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Adjusted Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 40% of (a) the Adjusted Purchase Payments made prior to your death minus (b) any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death but not within your first Account Year. In addition, on the Account Anniversary following your 85th birthday, the “EEB Premier amount” will be locked in. Partial withdrawals, whether before or after your 85th birthday, will proportionally reduce the “EEB Premier amount.”

Example:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Issue Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts, no withdrawals are made and the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000. The Maximum Anniversary Value on the Death Benefit Date is $145,000. Assume death occurs in Account Year 9. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the owner’s 70th birthday. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$135,000
Cash Surrender Value*
=
$135,000
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
Maximum Anniversary Value
=
$145,000
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore

$145,000

--PLUS--

The EEB Premier with MAV amount, calculated as follows:
   
Account Value before EEB minus Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$  35,000
45% of the above amount
=
$  15,750
Cap of 100% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB Premier with MAV amount
=
$  15,750

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the MAV death benefit plus the EEB Premier with MAV amount = $145,000 + $15,750 = $160,750.

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”

EARNINGS ENHANCEMENT BENEFIT PREMIER WITH 5% ROLL-UP (“EEB PREMIER WITH 5% ROLL-UP”) DEATH BENEFIT

If you elected EEB Premier with 5% Roll-Up, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the 5% Roll-Up death benefit PLUS the “EEB Premier amount.” Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the “EEB Premier amount” is determined as follows:

·
If you are 69 or younger on your Open Date, the “EEB Premier amount” will be 45% of the difference between your Account Value and your Adjusted Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 100% of (a) the Adjusted Purchase Payments made prior to your death minus (b) any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death but not within your first Account Year.
   
·
If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Open Date, the “EEB Premier amount” will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Adjusted Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 40% of (a) the Adjusted Purchase Payments made prior to your death minus (b) any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death but not within your first Account Year. In addition, on the Account Anniversary following your 85th birthday, the “EEB Premier amount” will be locked in. Partial withdrawals, whether before or after your 85th birthday, will proportionally reduce the “EEB Premier amount.”

Example:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Issue Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts, no withdrawals are made and the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000. The value of the Purchase Payments accumulated at 5% until the Death Benefit Date is $145,000. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the owner’s 70th birthday. Assume death occurs in Account Year 9. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:

APPENDIX D -
CALCULATION FOR PURCHASE PAYMENT INTEREST

Example 1:

If you select Option A, the 2% Five-Year Anniversary Interest Option, we will credit your Contract with 2% of each Purchase Payment received during the first Account Year. In addition, on each Fifth-Year Anniversary, we will add to your Contract a credit equal to 2% of your Account Value at that time. For the example below, assume an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 is made on the Issue Date. The values shown in the last column (“Prior Year Anniversary Account before Purchase Payment Interest is added”) are assumptions used to illustrate fluctuations in investment performance of the underlying funds.

(a) Initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 will result in a 2% Purchase Payment Interest credit of $2,000 (0.02 x $100,000). The Purchase Payment Interest is allocated to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Guarantee Periods in the same proportion as the Net Purchase Payment is allocated.

(b) An additional Purchase Payment of $20,000 in the first Account Year will result in a 2% Purchase Payment Interest credit of $400 (0.02 x $20,000). The Purchase Payment Interest is allocated to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Guarantee Periods in the same proportion as the Net Purchase Payment is allocated.

(c) An additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 in the fifth Account Year does not result in any Purchase Payment Interest , because the Payment did not occur during the first Account Year. Suppose the additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is allocated to a Guarantee Period and subsequent transfers from the Guarantee Period are allocated to two variable Sub-Accounts equally.

(d) At the end of Account Year 5, suppose the Account Value had increased to $210,000 due to positive investment performance of the underlying Funds. (The Account Value in the DCA program is $10,000 and the Variable Account Value is $200,000, which represents $102,000 in Sub-Account A and $98,000 Sub-Account B.) On the Fifth-Year Anniversary (i.e., at the end of year 5), a credit of $4,200 (0.02 x $210,000) is added to each Sub-Account in the same proportion as each Sub-Account is invested in the total Variable Account Value and is reflected at the beginning of Account Year 6 in the table above. Because 51% of the Variable Account Value (i.e., $102,000 ÷ $200,000) is invested in Sub-Account A, that same percentage of the Purchase Payment Interest (i.e., 0.51 x $4,200 = $2,142) is added to Sub-Account A. Likewise, because 49% of the total Variable Account Value ($98,000 ÷ $200,000) is invested in Sub-Account B, that same percentage of the Purchase Payment Interest (i.e., 0.49 x $4,200 = $2,058) is added to Sub-Account B.

(e) At the end of Account Year 10, a Fifth-Year Anniversary, suppose the Account Value is $175,000 ($0 in the DCA program, $91,000 in Sub-Account A, and $84,000 in Sub-Account B) due to the investment performance of the underlying Funds. On the tenth Account Anniversary (i.e., at the end of year 10), a credit of $3,500 (0.02 x $175,000) is added to the variable Sub Accounts and is reflected at the beginning of Account Year 11 in the table above. $1,820 (0.52 x $3,500) is added to Sub-Account A and $1,680 (0.48 x $3,500) is added to Sub-Account B.

This 2% Purchase Payment Interest credit will be added on each Fifth-Year Anniversary thereafter (i.e., at the end of  5th, 10th, 15th, etc. Account Years) based on the Account Value at that time.

Option A will generally result in higher Purchase Payment Interest if you plan to hold your Contract for a longer period of time (e.g., 10 years or more).

 
 

 

Example 2: Option B

If you select Option B, the 5% Interest Option, we will add to your Contract a credit equal to 5% of each Purchase Payment. For the example below, assume an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 is made on the Issue Date.

(a) An Initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 will result in a 5% Purchase Payment Interest credit of $5,000 (0.05 x $100,000). The Purchase Payment Interest is allocated to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Guarantee Periods in the same proportion as the Net Purchase Payment is allocated.

(b) An additional Purchase Payment of $20,000 in the first Account Year will result in a Purchase Payment Interest credit of $1,000 (0.05% x $20,000). The Purchase Payment Interest is allocated to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Guarantee Periods in the same proportion as the Net Purchase Payment is allocated.

(c) Suppose an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made in the fourth Account Year. This Purchase Payment will result in a credit of $2,000 (0.05 x $40,000). The Purchase Payment Interest is allocated to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Guarantee Periods in the same proportion as the Net Purchase Payment is allocated.

Option B will generally result in higher Purchase Payment Interest if you only plan to hold your Contract for a shorter period of time (e.g., less than 10 years).

Note that if you purchased your Contract between August 24, 2008, and August 17, 2009, Option B credited interest at a rate of 6% of each Purchase Payment.

Note that if you purchased your Contract between July 24, 2006, and August 23, 2008, Option B credited interest at a rate of 5% of each Purchase Payment.

Prior to July 24, 2006, Option B credited interest at various rates, depending upon the size of your Net Purchase Payments, as shown in the following scale:

Net Purchase Payments less than $100,000.00 received
3%
Net Purchase Payments between $100,000.00 through $499,999.99 received
4%
Net Purchase Payments greater than or equal to $500,000.00 received
5%

Prior to July 24, 2006, if you chose Option B, an additional credit may have been paid at the end of your first Account Anniversary. If your Net Purchase Payments at the end of your first Account Year are greater than or equal to $100,000, but less than $500,000, and some of your Net Purchase Payment(s) received a credit of 3% (rather than 4%), then an additional 1% will be paid on the amount of Net Purchase Payments that received the 3% credit. Similarly, if your Net Purchase Payments at the end of your first Account Year are greater than or equal to $500,000 and some of your Purchase Payment(s) received a credit of either 3% or 4% (rather than 5%), then an additional 2% or 1% will be paid on the amount of Net Purchase Payments that received a 3% credit or a 4% credit, respectively.


 
 

 

APPENDIX E -
CALCULATION OF FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT

In the first Account Year, your free withdrawal amount is equal to 10% of all Purchase Payments you have made less any withdrawals previously taken that were not subject to withdrawal charges. For all other Account Years, the free withdrawal amount is equal to the greater of:

#1 - Contract earnings during the prior Account Year minus all withdrawals taken during the current Account Year that were not subject to withdrawal charges; and

#2 - 10% of the amount of all Purchase Payments you have made during the last seven Account Years, including the current Account Year, minus all withdrawals taken during the current Account Year that were not subject to withdrawal charges.

For Example 1 below, assume an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 is made on the Issue Date and Purchase Payment Interest Option A (2% Five-Year Anniversary Interest Option) is chosen.

(a) A $20,000 additional Purchase Payment was made during Account Year 1, an additional credit (Purchase Payment Interest) of $400 (0.02 x $20,000) was immediately credited to the Account Value on the date the Purchase Payment was made.

(b) In Account Year 2, the prior Account Year earnings equal $13,200 ($133,200 - $120,000). (This amount includes any Purchase Payment Interest credited in Account Year 1.) These earnings are greater than 10% of all Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (0.10 x [$100,000 + $20,000] = $12,000).

(c) At the beginning of Account Year 5, a request for the entire free withdrawal amount is made. The prior Account Year earnings of $13,000 are greater than 10% of all Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (0.10 x [$100,000 + $20,000] = $12,000) and, therefore, $13,000 is withdrawn from the Account and the remaining free withdrawal amount is reduced to $0.

(d) Later in Account Year 5, an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made and the free withdrawal amount is immediately recalculated. (No Purchase Payment Interest is credited at that time because the Purchase Payment was made after the first Account Year.) Because the prior Account Year earnings were withdrawn, those earnings equal $0 and are less than 10% of Purchase Payments. As a result, the new free withdrawal amount is $3,000 ([0.10 x ($100,000 + $20,000 + $40,000)] - $13,000).

(e) At the beginning of Account Year 6 (end of Account Year 5), the Account Value is $210,000.

(f) At the beginning of Account Year 6, Purchase Payment Interest of $4,200 is credited based upon the Account Value at the end of Account Year 5 (0.02 x $210,000). (This is the first Fifth-Year Anniversary in which Purchase Payment Interest is credited based on the Account Value.) As a result, the Account Value is increased to $214,200 ($210,000 + $4,200).

(g) At the beginning of Account Year 8, the free withdrawal amount is $4,000, which represents 10% of Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (0.10 x $40,000). (Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years would include the $40,000 paid in Account Year 5, but would not include the $120,000 of Purchase Payments  made in the first Account Year, because those Payments were made more than seven Account Years ago. In addition, no Purchase Payment Interest is credited in Account Year 8 because it is not a Fifth-Year Anniversary.) The $4,000 is greater than the prior Account Year Contract earnings of $3,245 ($219,587 - $216,342).

(h) Later in Account Year 8, an additional Purchase Payment of $20,000 is made and the free withdrawal amount is immediately recalculated. The new free withdrawal amount is $6,000 (0.10 x [$40,000 + $20,000]), which exceeds the prior Account Year Contract earnings ($3,245).

(i) Subsequently, in Account Year 8, a withdrawal of $6,000 is taken which reduces the free withdrawal amount to $0.

For Example 2 below, assume an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 is made on the Issue Date and Purchase Payment Interest Option B (5% Interest Option) is chosen.

(a) A $20,000 Purchase Payment was made during Account Year 3, an additional credit (Purchase Payment Interest) of $1,000 (0.05 x $20,000) was immediately credited to the Account Value on the date the Purchase Payment was made.

(b) At the beginning of Account Year 4, a request for the entire free withdrawal amount is made. The prior Account Year earnings of $14,705 (including Purchase Payment Interest credited in Account Year 3) are greater than 10% of all Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (0.10 x [$100,000 + $20,000] = $12,000) and, therefore, $14,705 is withdrawn from the Account and the remaining free withdrawal amount is reduced to $0.

(c) Later in Account Year 4, an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 and an additional credit (Purchase Payment Interest) of $2,000 (0.05 x $40,000) are made, and the free withdrawal amount is immediately recalculated. Because the prior Account Year earnings were withdrawn, the new free withdrawal amount is based on 10% of Purchase Payments and equals $1,295 ([0.10 x ($100,000 + $20,000 + $40,000)] - $14,705).

(d) At the beginning of Account Year 8, the free withdrawal amount is $6,000, which represents 10% of Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (0.10 x [$40,000 + $20,000]). (Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years would include the $20,000 paid in Account Year 3 and the $40,000 paid in Account Year 4, but would not include the $100,000 initial Purchase Payment because that Payment was made more than seven Account Years ago.) The $6,000 is greater than the prior Account Year Contract earnings of $3,625 ($184,894 - $181,269).

(e) Later in Account Year 8, an additional Purchase Payment of $20,000 and an additional credit (Purchase Payment Interest) of $1,000 (0.05 x $20,000) are made, and the free withdrawal amount is immediately recalculated. The new free withdrawal amount is based on 10% of Purchase Payments and equals $8,000 (0.10 x [$20,000 + $40,000 + $20,000]), which exceeds the prior Account Year Contract earnings ($3,625).

(f) Subsequently, in Account Year 8, a withdrawal of $8,000 is taken which reduces the free withdrawal amount to $0.

APPENDIX G -
SECURED RETURNS FOR LIFE

The following information applies to your Contract if you elected to participate in Secured Returns for Life (“Secured Returns for Life,” “Benefit,” or “the rider”) and did not replace it with Secured Returns for Life Plus, which was available for such replacements for a limited period of time beginning in April 2006. Secured Returns for Life is no longer available for sale on new Contracts. Since we are no longer offering Secured Returns for Life to new Owners, renewals are no longer available.

Secured Returns for Life guarantees a return of your initial Purchase Payment (adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals) during the accumulation period, 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. Upon annuitization, Secured Returns for Life and any elected optional death benefit automatically terminate. (You should note that the benefit does not, in all cases, guarantee payments “for Life.” Certain actions you take may reduce, and even terminate, your benefit, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.)

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

AB Plan Maturity Date:
The date when the AB Plan matures which is on the 10th Account Anniversary, or if you elect to “step-up” your guaranteed values under the rider, 10 years from the date of the most recent step-up.
   
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 GLB Base, Lifetime Income Base, and RGLB amount on the date you elect the WB Plan.
   
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, 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 later of the date you elect to participate in the WB Plan if you are age 60 or older and the first Account Anniversary after your 59th birthday. The Lifetime Income Base is adjusted later for any subsequent Purchase Payments, step-ups, 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 Participant 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.)
   
Remaining Guaranteed Living Benefit
(the “RGLB amount”):
If you elect the WB Plan, the minimum amount guaranteed under the Plan. The RGLB amount equals the GLB amount on the date you choose to participate in the WB Plan. This amount will be adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments, step-ups, and partial withdrawals.

To participate in Secured Returns for Life, all of your Account Value must be invested in a Designated Funds at all times during the term of the GMAB Maturity Date. See “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

When you elected to participate in Secured Returns for Life, you were automatically enrolled in the AB Plan. At any time, you may elect instead, to receive your benefit under the WB Plan, provided that you make the election prior to the earliest of the Contract’s Maximum Annuity Commencement Date, the date you annuitize, and the date your AB Plan matures. 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.

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 is 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 Account Anniversary will be reduced depending upon the Account Year in which it was made, as follows:

Account Year in which
Purchase Payment was made
Percentage added to the
GLB amount
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 decrease, and even terminate, the total Secured Returns for Life Benefit, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

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. For examples of how we calculate benefits under the AB Plan, see Examples 1 through 3 in this Appendix.

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

·
Your 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” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) The charges under Secured Returns for Life will be assessed against the enhanced Account Value. The GLB amount, however, will not be reset.
   
·
Your 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.

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

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 Account 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 Account Year, your RGLB and future guaranteed withdrawals will be reduced in the manner described under “Withdrawals Under Secured Returns for Life.”

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 Account 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 Account Year after your first Account Anniversary following your 59th birthday. If you exceed your Maximum WB for Life Amount in any one Account Year, the amount of your subsequent guaranteed lifetime withdrawals will be reduced in the manner discussed under “Withdrawals Under Secured Returns for Life.”

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. Your GLB Base also is set equal to the RGLB amount on the date you elect to participate in the WB Plan. This value is used to determine your Maximum WB 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:

·
the date you elected to participate in the WB Plan if you are age 60 or older on that date, or
   
·
your first Account 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 Account 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 Secured Returns for Life.”)

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 Account Anniversary, will increase your RGLB amount, your GLB 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 withdrawals 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 Account Anniversary, you may not make any additional Purchase Payments unless your benefit under the rider has been cancelled, terminated, or revoked. For examples of how we calculate benefits under the WB Plan, see Examples 4, 5, and 6 in this Appendix.

If you die while participating in the WB Plan, your 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 your surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your surviving spouse can automatically continue to participate in the WB Plan, but lifetime withdrawal benefits will not be available to your spouse. All other benefits under the WB Plan will continue, for your surviving spouse, even though the Account Value may have been enhanced under the provisions of the death benefit. (See “Spousal Continuance” under “DEATH BENEFIT” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) The charges under Secured Returns for Life will be assessed against the enhanced Account Value. The RGLB amount, however, will not be reset.

Cost of Secured Returns for Life

Unlike other Contract charges, the charge for Secured Returns for Life 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 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 0.00125. (See Example 7 in this Appendix.) The specific amount of the quarterly charge will be reflected on your quarterly account statement.

We will continue to deduct this charge until:

·
you annuitize; or
   
·
under the provisions of Secured Returns for Life;
   
·
your benefit matures;
   
·
your benefit is revoked; or
   
·
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 Account Anniversary.

Withdrawals Under Secured Returns for Life

All withdrawals under Secured Returns for Life are subject to withdrawal charges if they are in excess of the annual free withdrawal amount. (See “Free Withdrawal Amount” under “Withdrawal Charge” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) In addition, any withdrawals you take under Secured Returns for Life will reduce the value of your benefit under . 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 withdrawn.

Assume you are participating in the AB Plan. Any withdrawals you make will reduce the dollar value of your benefits 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.

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 dollar for dollar, 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 Account 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:

·
your previous RGLB amount, reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of the withdrawal, and
·
your Account Value after the withdrawal.

Your new GLB Base will be the lesser of:

·
your previous GLB Base reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of the excess withdrawal, and
   
·
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 Account 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, instead, 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 dollar for dollar, 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 Account 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:

·
your previous Lifetime Income Base reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of the excess withdrawal, and
   
·
the Account Value after the withdrawal.

A 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 Account 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:

·
A withdrawal in excess of the Maximum WB Amount or the Maximum WB for Life Amount might reduce and even terminate your Secured Returns for Life Benefits, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.
   
·
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 will terminate and your Contract will terminate without value.
   
·
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 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 an Owner dies. In that case, after the death of an Owner, your beneficiary receives the Maximum WB Amount until the RGLB amount, if any, is reduced to zero.
   
(2)
You (or your beneficiary if an Owner has 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 Examples 10, 11, and 12 in this Appendix.

Annuitization Under the WB Plan

Under the WB Plan, if your RGLB Amount and your Account Value are 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:

·
annuitize your Contract;
   
·
surrender your Contract;
   
·
receive the Maximum WB Amount each year until the RGLB amount is reduced to zero; or
   
·
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 will automatically annuitize your Contract and provide a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.

Cancellation and Revocation of Secured Returns for Life

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 Fund, Secured Returns for Life 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, Secured Returns for Life will be cancelled. An assignment of ownership of the Contract will also cancel Secured Returns for Life.

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

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

Step-Up

On or after your third Account Anniversary, you may elect to increase your guaranteed amount to your then current Account Value (“step-up”). Currently, this step-up election may be made on any day after your third Account Anniversary. (We reserve the right to require step-up elections to occur only within 30 days following the third or any subsequent Account 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 to an amount equal to your Account Value on the Step-Up Date. If you elect to step-up, at least 3 full years from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up. You can only elect to step-up if:

·
your current Account Value is greater than the current GLB amount, and
   
·
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 RGLB amount, and your Lifetime Income Base to an amount equal to your Account Value on that date. If you elect to step-up, at least 3 full years from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up. You can only elect to step-up if:

·
your current Account Value is greater than the current GLB Base and the current Lifetime Income Base, and
   
·
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 benefit under the AB Plan will “mature” on the 10th Account 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 charge, i.e. the “AB Plan Maturity Date”). If you elect to step-up your GLB amount, the term of your benefit under the AB Plan will change. After you make a step-up election, your benefit 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 Examples 13, 14, and 15 in this Appendix.)

Following your step-up election, the rider fee will be changed to an amount that may be higher than your current fee as set forth above. The rider fee after the step-up will be set by us, based upon current market conditions, at the time of the step-up. Significant changes in stock market prices, interest rate fluctuations, and competitive industry trends are among the market conditions we consider in whether to change the fee.

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 Account Year, any withdrawals previously made in that Account Year are applied against your new Maximum WB Amount and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount. (See Example 14 in this Appendix.)

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 Examples 14 and 15 in this Appendix.)

Subsequent Purchase Payments After a Step-Up

Under the WB Plan, subsequent Purchase Payments after a step-up will increase, on a dollar for dollar basis, the RGLB amount, the GLB Base, and the Lifetime Income Base. After your fourth Account 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 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, 2005, and elected to step-up your Contract on October 1, 2010. Under the AB Plan that you have elected, your benefit matures on October 1, 2020. For any subsequent Purchase Payments you make, your GLB amount would increase by the following percentages of such Purchase Payments:
 
Step-Up Year
Payments Made Between
Percentage Added to the
GLB amount
1
10/02/10 – 10/01/11
100%
2
10/02/11 – 10/01/12
100%
3
10/02/12 – 10/01/13
85%
4
10/02/13 – 10/01/14
85%
5
10/02/14 – 10/01/15
85%
6
10/02/15 – 10/01/16
70%
7
10/02/16 – 10/01/17
70%
8
10/02/17 – 10/01/18
70%
9
10/02/18 – 10/01/19
60%
10
10/02/19 – 10/01/20
60%

Thus, only 70% of a subsequent Purchase Payment made on October 2, 2015, would be guaranteed whereas 85% of a subsequent Purchase Payment made on October 1, 2015, would be guaranteed. It may be disadvantageous for you to make any such Purchase Payments that increase the GLB amount by less than 100% of the payment.

Refund of Secured Returns for Life 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 (“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 rider charges will be made if you change from the AB Plan to the WB Plan.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as Secured Returns for Life. 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 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 or Lifetime Income 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 Account 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 GLB Base, Lifetime Income 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 proportionally (see “Withdrawals Under Secured Returns for Life”).

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ARE BASED UPON THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU PURCHASED A CONTRACT ON JANUARY 1, 2006 WITH AN INITIAL PURCHASE PAYMENT OF $100,000 AND YOU ELECTED SECURED RETURNS FOR LIFE. YOUR INITIAL GLB AMOUNT EQUALS YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENT AMOUNT OF $100,000.

EXAMPLE 1: Calculation of Benefits under AB Plan.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had low investment performance.
 
·
Assume that on January 1, 2016, your Account Value is $85,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $4,625.
 
·
Because your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $15,000 [$100,000 - $85,000], an amount equal to $15,000 will be deposited into your Contract.

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

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB Plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had low investment performance.
 
·
On June 1, 2010, you make an additional $80,000 Purchase Payment.
 
·
Because the subsequent Purchase Payment was made in the fifth Account Year, we guarantee the return of 85% of that Purchase Payment, or $68,000. On June 1, 2010, your GLB amount is $168,000 [$100,000 + ($80,000 x 85%)].
 
·
Assume that on January 1, 2016, your Account Value is $150,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $6,725.
 
·
Because your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $18,000 [$168,000 - $150,000], an amount equal to $18,000 will be deposited into your Contract.

EXAMPLE 3: Calculation of Benefits under AB Plan with Subsequent Purchase Payment; Refund Applies.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB Plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had low investment performance.
 
·
On June 1, 2010, you make an additional $80,000 Purchase Payment.
 
·
Because the subsequent Purchase Payment was made in the fifth Account Year, we guarantee the return of 85% of that Purchase Payment, or $68,000. On June 1, 2010, your GLB amount is $168,000 [$100,000 + ($80,000 x 85%)].
 
·
Assume that on January 1, 2016, your Account Value is $200,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $7,500.
 
·
Because your Account Value is greater than your GLB amount by $32,000 [$200,000 - $168,000], your Contract will be credited with an amount equal to the rider charges you have paid [$7,500], increasing your Account Value to $207,500.

EXAMPLE 4: Calculation of Benefits under WB Plan; Lifetime Withdrawals.

·
Assume you are age 60 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2006, and that you choose to systematically withdraw the Maximum WB for Life Amount annually.
 
·
On January 1, 2006:
 
·
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 60].
 
·
On December 31, 2006, after your first systematic withdrawal of $4,000:
 
·
Your Account Value is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal [$4,000].
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $96,000 [$100,000-$4,000].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
 
·
Assume you take only annual systematic withdrawals of $4,000 for a total of 20 years. Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments. Assume that, because of poor investment performance of your Designated Fund, your Account Value equals zero. On December 31, 2025:
 
·
Your Account Value equals zero.
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawal, is $20,000 [$100,000-($4,000 x 20)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount in any Account Year.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount in any Account Year.
 
 
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 an Owner dies or
 
(2)  withdrawing your Maximum WB Amount each year until your GLB amount is reduced to zero.
   
·
Assume you elect to take annual payments of your Maximum WB for Life Amount. On December 31, 2030, when your GLB amount is reduced to zero:
 
·
Your Account Value equals zero.
·
Your GLB amount equals zero.
·
Your GLB Base equals zero because your GLB amount equals zero.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount in any Account Year.
 
 
You will continue to receive $4,000 per year as long as you are alive.

·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is zero because you have not passed your first Account Anniversary after your 59th birthday
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is zero [4% of your Lifetime Income Base].
 
·
On December 31, 2006, after your first systematic withdrawal of $5,000, your Maximum WB Amount:

·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $95,000 [$100,000-$5,000].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is zero because you have not passed your first Account Anniversary after your 59th birthday.
 
·
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, 2008, you celebrate your 59th birthday. On January 1, 2009:
 
·
Your Account Value has been reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals [$15,000].
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawal, is $85,000 [$100,000-($5,000 x 3)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount in any Account Year.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is set at $85,000 [an amount equal to the GLB amount on your first Account Anniversary after your 59th birthday].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $3,400 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are less than 65 years old].
 
·
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, 2028:
 
·
Your Account Value equals zero.
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals, is $17,000 [85,000 – ($3,400 x 20)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than the Maximum WB Amount in any Account Year.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $85,000 because you did not withdraw more than the Maximum WB for Life Amount in any Account Year.
   
·
Assume you elect to take annual payments of your Maximum WB for Life Amount until your GLB amount is reduced to zero in 2033.
 
·
Your Account Value equals zero.
·
Your GLB amount equals zero.
·
Your GLB Base equals zero because your GLB amount equals zero.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $85,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
 
 
You will continue to receive $3,400 per year as long as you are alive.

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

·
Assume you are age 60 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2006, and that you choose to systematically withdraw the Maximum WB for Life Amount annually.

Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 60].
 
·
On December 31, 2006, after your first systematic withdrawal of $4,000:
 
·
Your Account Value is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal [$4,000].
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $96,000 [$100,000-$4,000].

Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
 
·
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 Account Year. Assume also that, immediately before the subsequent Purchase Payment, your Account Value was $80,000. On December 31, 2009:
 
·
Your Account Value equals $130,000 [$80,000 + $50,000].
·
Your GLB 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].
·
Your GLB Base, increased by the subsequent Purchase Payment, is $150,000.
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $7,500 [5% of your new GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base, increased by the subsequent Purchase Payment, is $150,000.
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $6,000 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
   
 
You may increase your annual systematic withdrawals to $6,000 without any effect on your future lifetime benefits.
   
·
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, 2029:
 
·
Your Account Value equals zero.
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals is $14,000 [$134,000 – ($6,000 x 20)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $150,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $150,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount in any Account Year.
 
 
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 an Owner dies or
 
(2)  withdrawing your Maximum WB Amount each year until your GLB amount is reduced to zero.
   
·
Assume you elect to take annual payments of your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,000 until your GLB amount is reduced to zero in 2032.
 
·
Your Account Value equals zero.
·
Your GLB amount equals zero.
·
Your GLB Base equals zero because your GLB amount equals zero.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $150,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
 
 
You will continue to receive $6,000 per year as long as you are alive.

EXAMPLE 7: Calculation of Explicit Rider Charges.

·
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.
 
·
On March 31, 2006, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life is taken is $101,196.79. The charge deducted on March 31, 2006 is $126.50 ($101,196.79 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on March 31, 2006 is $101,070.29 ($101,196.79 - $126.50).
 
·
On June 30, 2006, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life is taken is $102,307.23. The fee deducted on June 30, 2006 is $127.88 ($102,307.23 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on June 30, 2006 is $102,179.35 ($102,307.23 - $127.88).
 
·
On September 30, 2006, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life is taken is $103,443.69. The fee deducted on September 30, 2006 is $129.30 ($103,443.69 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on September 30, 2006 is $103,314.39 ($103,443.69 - $129.30).
 
·
This pattern continues until the maturity date for your Benefit of January 1, 2016. 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 charges that have been made. Note that if Secured Returns for Life was revoked or
 
cancelled before the maturity date for your Benefit of January 1, 2016, then no Secured Returns for Life credit will be made to your Account.

EXAMPLE 8: Withdrawals under the AB Plan; low investment performance.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time.
 
·
Assume that on January 1, 2007, you withdraw 10% of your Account Value of $110,000 (or $11,000). Your Account Value is now $99,000.
 
·
On January 1, 2007, your GLB amount will be reset to $90,000. This equals the previous GLB amount reduced proportional to the amount of Account Value withdrawn, or $100,000 x [$99,000 ÷ $110,000].
 
·
Assume you make no more withdrawals or Purchase Payments and that your Account Value on January 1, 2016 is $87,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $4,710.
 
·
Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $3,000, an amount equal to $3,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($90,000 - $87,000).

EXAMPLE 9: Withdrawals with Subsequent Purchase Payments under the AB Plan; low investment performance.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB Plan at any time.
 
·
On June 1, 2010, you make an additional $80,000 Purchase Payment.
 
·
On June 1, 2010, your GLB amount is $168,000 [$100,000 + ($80,000 x 85%)].
 
·
Assume that, on June 1, 2012, you withdraw $40,000 and that your Account Value is $240,000 at this time. After the withdrawal, your Account Value is $200,000.
 
·
On June 1, 2012, your GLB amount is reset to $140,000. This equals the previous GLB amount reduced proportional to the amount of Account Value withdrawn, or $168,000 x [$200,000 ÷ $240,000].
 
·
Assume you make no more withdrawals or Purchase Payments and that your Account Value on January 1, 2016, is $125,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $7,200.
 
·
Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $15,000, an amount equal to $15,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($140,000 - $125,000).

EXAMPLE 10: Withdrawals under WB Plan Exceeding Maximum WB for Life Amount; Poor Investment Performance.

·
Assume you are age 63 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2006, and that you choose to systematically withdraw the Maximum WB Amount annually. Assume that your Designated Fund had poor investment performance, losing 2% a year over the course of the Contract. On January 1, 2006:
 
·
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 63].
 
·
On December 31, 2006, after you take your first systematic withdrawal of $5,000, your Account Value is $93,000:
 
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $95,000 [$100,000-$5,000].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is reduced to $93,000 [the lesser of (1) your current Lifetime Income Base minus the excess withdrawal [$100,000 - ($5,000 - $4,000)] and (2) your new Account Value [$93,000]].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $3,720 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
 
·
Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments, but you take annual systematic withdrawals of $5,000 for a total of 16 years. Because of poor investment performance of your Designated Fund, your Account Value decreases to $3,330. In addition, because you have taken withdrawals in excess of the Maximum WB for Life Amount, your Lifetime Income Base is now $3,330. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is now 4% of $3,330 or $133.
 
·
Assume your Designated Fund earns -2% in Account Year 17, and that you take another $5,000 withdrawal. On December 31, 2022:
 
·
Your Account Value is zero.
·
Your GLB amount is $15,000 [$100,000 - ($5,000 x 17)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than the Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is zero [the lesser of (1) your current Lifetime Income Base minus the excess withdrawal [$3,330 - ($5,000 - $133)] and (2) your new Account Value [$0]].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is still $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals zero [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
 
 
Even though your Contract has terminated because your Account Value has reduced to zero, we will pay you the Maximum WB Amount of $5,000 per year for three more years, until your GLB amount is reduced to zero.

EXAMPLE 11: Withdrawals under WB Plan Exceeding Maximum WB for Life Amount; Positive Investment Performance.

·
Assume you are age 63 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2006, and that you choose to systematically withdraw the Maximum WB Amount annually. Assume that your Designated Fund had positive investment performance, gaining 2% a year over the course of the Contract. On January 1, 2006:
 
·
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 63].
 
·
On December 31, 2006, after you take your first systematic withdrawal of $5,000, your Account Value is $97,000:
 
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $95,000 [$100,000-$5,000].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is reduced to $97,000 [the lesser of (1) your current Lifetime Income Base minus the excess withdrawal [$100,000 - ($5,000 - $4,000)] and (2) your new Account Value [$97,000]].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $3,880 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
 
·
Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments, but you take annual systematic withdrawals of $5,000 for a total of 19 years. Your GLB amount has been reduced to $5,000 [$100,000 - ($5,000 x 19)]. Because of good investment performance of your Designated Funds, your Account Value is now $31,478. In addition, because you have taken withdrawals in excess of the Maximum WB for Life Amount, your Lifetime Income Base is also now $31,478. Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is now 4% of $31,478, or $1,259.
 
·
Assume your Designated Fund earns 2% in Account Year 20, and that you take another $5,000 withdrawal. On December 31, 2025:
 
·
Your Account Value is $27,108.
·
Your GLB amount is zero [$5,000 remaining - $5,000 withdrawal].
·
Your GLB Base is zero because your GLB amount is equal to zero.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $27,108 [the lesser of (1) your current Lifetime Income Base minus the excess withdrawal [$31,478 - ($5,000 - $1,259)] and (2) your new Account Value [$27,108]].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals $1,084 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base of $27,108].
 
 
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. If your Account Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal that does not exceed you Maximum WB for Life Amount, we will continue to pay your then current Maximum WB for Life Amount each year as long as you are alive. If your Account Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal that exceeds your Maximum WB for Life Amount, your Lifetime Income Base will be reduced to zero, your Maximum WB for Life Amount will become zero, and no more benefits will be paid.

EXAMPLE 12: Withdrawals under WB Plan Exceeding Maximum WB Amount.

·
Assume you are age 63 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2006. Assume that your Designated Fund had poor investment performance, losing 2% a year over the course of the Contract. On January 1, 2006:
 
·
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 63].
 
·
On December 31, 2006, after you take a withdrawal of $6,000, your Account Value is $92,000:
 
·
Your GLB amount is reduced to $92,000 [the lesser of (1) your current GLB amount minus the withdrawal [$100,000-$6,000] and (2) your new Account Value [$92,000]].
·
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]].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is now $4,600 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
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]].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $3,680 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base of $92,000].
 
·
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 Funds, your Account Value is now $7,609. Because you have taken withdrawals in excess of your Maximum WB Amount, your GLB 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.
 
·
Assume your Designated Fund earns -2% in Account Year 14, and that you take another $6,000 withdrawal. On December 31, 2022:
 
·
Your Account Value is $1, 457 [$7,609 x (1 - 0.02) - $6,000].
·
Your GLB amount is $1,457 [the lesser of (1) your current GLB amount minus the withdrawal amount ($7,609 - $6,000) and (2) your new Account Value ($1,457)].
·
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)].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount equals $73 [5% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
·
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]].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount equals $58 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base of $1,457].
 
 
Because your GLB Base is greater than zero, you may take annual withdrawals up to the Maximum WB Amount until your GLB 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 GLB 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 GLB 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 GLB 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 13: Step-up elected under AB Plan.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time. Assume that your Account Value was $150,000 on January 1, 2009. Since this amount is greater than your GLB amount, you may step-up to a new 10-year period, with a new GLB amount of $150,000. Assume that you elect to step-up.
 
·
Your Maturity Date is reset to January 1, 2019 (ten years after the date of the step-up). Assume that on January 1, 2019, your Account Value is $130,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $8,875.
 
·
Since your Account Value is lower than your stepped-up GLB by $20,000, an amount equal to $20,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($150,000 - $130,000).

EXAMPLE 14: Step-up elected under WB Plan.

·
Assume you are age 65 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2006, 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, 2006:
 
·
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your GLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 65].
 
·
On December 31, 2006, after you take your first systematic withdrawal of $5,000, your Account Value is $101,000:
 
·
Your GLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $95,000 [$100,000-$5,000].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base].
 
·
Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments, but you take systematic withdrawals of $5,000 for a total of 3 years. On December 31, 2008:
 
·
Your Account Value is $103,184.
·
Your GLB amount is $85,000 [$100,000 - ($5,000 x 3)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base].
 
·
Because your Account Value is greater than your GLB amount, your GLB Base, and your Lifetime Income Base, you may step-up your GLB amount, your GLB 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, 2009*:
 
·
Your Account Value is $103,184.
·
Your GLB amount is $103,184.
·
Your GLB Base is $103,184.
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,159 [5% of your new GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $103,184.
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,159 [5% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
 
 
Note: Assume instead that you elected to step-up sometime in 2009 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 would apply so that you could withdraw an additional $159 without exceeding your maximum amounts.

EXAMPLE 15: Subsequent Purchase Payments after Step-up under the AB Plan; Refund Applies.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time. Assume that your Account Value was $150,000 on January 1, 2009. Since this amount is greater than your GLB amount, you may step-up to a new 10-year period, with a new GLB amount of $150,000. Assume that you elect to step-up. Your Maturity Date is reset to January 1, 2019 (ten years after the date of the step-up).
 
·
On June 1, 2010, you make an additional $80,000 Purchase Payment.
 
·
On June 1, 2010, your GLB amount is $230,000 [$150,000 + ($80,000 x 100%)]. Since it has been less than two years since the step-up was elected, the GLB amount is increased by 100% of the new Purchase Payment amount.
 
·
Assume that on January 1, 2019 (your Maturity Date), your Account Value is $280,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $13,850.
 
·
Because your Account Value is greater than the GLB amount of $230,000, your account will be credited with the amount of your rider charges, increasing your Account Value to $293,850.


 
 

 

APPENDIX H -
SECURED RETURNS

The optional living benefit Secured Returns (“Benefit” or “the rider”) was available for all Contracts purchased prior to September 7, 2004 and certain contracts purchased on or after that date. The following information applies to your Contract if you elected to participate in Secured Returns and did not replace it with Secured Returns 2, which was available for such replacements for a limited period of time. Secured Returns is no longer available for sale on new Contracts. Since we are no longer offering Secured Returns to new Owners, renewals are no longer available.

Secured Returns guarantees a return of your Purchase Payments (adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals), regardless of the investment performance of the underlying funds, provided that you comply with certain requirements. The amount guaranteed can be greater than or less than your Account Value. Upon annuitization, the Benefit and any optional death benefit automatically terminate.

To participate in Secured Returns, 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 your guaranteed amount is reduced to zero. See “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

If you elected to participate in Secured Returns with the basic death benefit, we assess your Contract an annual charge of 0.40% of your average daily net assets. If you elected Secured Returns with the EEB Premier rider, we assess your Contract an annual charge of 0.65% of your average daily net assets. We will continue to deduct this annual charge until you annuitize or your Secured Returns expires or is revoked. Cancellation of the Benefit (caused by a transfer out of the Designated Fund or a Purchase Payment allocation to a non-Designated Fund) may not terminate the annual charge.

Anytime after your 7th Account Anniversary, you may revoke Secured Returns. Once revoked, the Benefit may not be reinstated. After the Benefit has been revoked, your insurance charges will be reduced by 0.40% of your average daily Account Value. If you elected the Benefit in combination with the EEB Premier rider, that optional death benefit rider will not be revoked and the charge of the rider (0.25% of your average daily Account Value) will continue.

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 Fund into another investment option offered under your Contract, Secured Returns 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, Secured Returns will be cancelled.

Once the Benefit has been cancelled, it cannot be reinstated. After the cancellation of the Benefit, you will continue to pay the annual charge for the Benefit until your 7th Account Anniversary. After your 7th Account Anniversary, your insurance charges will be reduced by 0.40% of your average daily Account Value. If you elected the Benefit in combination with the EEB Premier rider, that optional death benefit rider will not be cancelled and the cost of such rider (0.25% of your average daily Account Value) will remain.

If you elected Secured Returns, you may choose to receive your Benefit under one of two plans: the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (“AB”) Plan or the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“WB”) Plan. You are automatically enrolled in the AB Plan at the time you elect Secured Returns. Any time prior to your 81st birthday, you may elect instead to receive your Benefit under the WB Plan. There is no waiting period for participation in the WB Plan, but you must make your election prior to your 10th Account Anniversary or annuitization, whichever is earlier. 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.

All withdrawals under Secured Returns are subject to withdrawal charges if they are in excess of the annual free withdrawal amount. (See “Free Withdrawal Amount” under “Withdrawal Charge” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) In addition, if you have elected Secured Returns, but have not yet elected to participate in the WB Plan, any withdrawals you make will reduce your GLB amount proportionally to the amount of Account Value withdrawn. For examples showing how withdrawals affect your benefits under Secured Returns, see Examples 5 through 8 in this Appendix.

Under the terms of the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (“AB”) Plan, on your 10th Account Anniversary, we will credit your Account Value with any excess of your Guaranteed Living Benefit Amount (“GLB amount”) over your Account Value after the application of any other Contract transactions. Any such amount will be allocated to the Designated Fund in which you are invested at that time. Your GLB amount is equal to the sum of 100% of your initial Purchase Payment plus a specified percentage of any subsequent Purchase Payments, adjusted in amount for partial withdrawals. One or more subsequent Purchase Payments during the 10-year period will not restart the 10-year period.  For each subsequent Purchase Payment after the second Account Anniversary, we will increase the GLB amount by less than 100% of the Purchase Payment depending upon the Account Year in which it was made, as follows:

Account Year in which
Purchase Payment was made
Percentage
Guaranteed
1-2
100%
3-5
85%
6-8
70%
9-10
60%

For examples of how we calculate benefits under the AB Plan, see Examples 1 and 2 in this Appendix. Note that the timing and amount of subsequent Purchase Payments may affect the total Benefit. In particular, it may be disadvantageous for you to make Purchase Payments that increase the GLB amount by less than 100% of the payment.

To calculate the GLB amount after a partial withdrawal under the AB Plan, we multiply the GLB amount immediately before the withdrawal by the ratio of the Account Value immediately after the withdrawal to the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal. (See Examples 5 and 7 in this Appendix.)

If you die while the AB Plan is still in force, all benefits and charges under Secured Returns will automatically terminate when we receive Due Proof of Death, unless your surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary. In that case, your surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract. If such election is made, the same Benefit will apply. Your surviving spouse can elect the WB Plan at any time prior to the earliest of annuitization, the surviving spouse’s 81st birthday, and your 10th Account Anniversary.  If your surviving spouse does not elect the WB Plan, the AB Plan will continue. In such case, the benefits under AB Plan will be determined according to the original 10-year period. In all cases, the GLB amount will not reset upon your death.

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

Under the terms of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“WB”) Plan, you may withdraw up to a set dollar amount from your Account Value each year during which the WB Plan is in effect, until your remaining GLB amount equals zero. This set dollar amount, or “maximum WB amount,” is equal to 7% of the GLB amount on the date you elect to participate in the WB Plan. You are not required to make any withdrawals after you have elected the WB Plan; however, if you withdraw more than the maximum WB amount in any Account Year, your remaining GLB amount and future guaranteed withdrawals will be reduced in the manner discussed further below. You should be aware that a withdrawal in excess of the maximum WB amount might significantly reduce your Secured Returns Benefits if your Account Value is less than the remaining GLB amount. In addition, the value you will receive upon a full withdrawal, or “surrender” of your Contract, will be your Contract’s Surrender Value and not the remaining GLB amount. Any subsequent Purchase Payment made after you have elected the WB Plan, and before your fourth Account Anniversary, will increase your remaining GLB amount by 100% of such subsequent Purchase Payment. Your maximum WB amount will increase by 7% of such subsequent Purchase Payment. After your fourth Account Anniversary, you may not make any additional Purchase Payments if you have elected the WB Plan. For examples of how we calculate benefits under the WB Plan, see Examples 3 and 4 in this Appendix.

Once you have elected to participate in the WB Plan, withdrawals of no more than the maximum WB amount will reduce your remaining GLB amount dollar for dollar. If you are participating in the WB Plan and you withdraw, in any one Account Year, more than the current maximum WB amount, your remaining GLB amount will be reduced to equal the lesser of:

(a)
your previous remaining GLB amount reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of the withdrawal, or
   
(b)
your Account Value.

If (b), above, is less than (a), then your maximum WB amount will be reduced so that the new remaining GLB amount will expire on the same date it would have had the maximum WB amount been withdrawn every year thereafter. (See Example 6 in this Appendix.)

The maximum WB amount is not cumulative. That is to say, if you withdraw less than the maximum WB amount in any one Account Year, you cannot add that unused portion to withdrawals made in future years to exceed the maximum WB amount.

Under the WB Plan, your Secured Returns benefits will continue until your remaining GLB amount is reduced to zero, even if your Account Value drops to zero. If your Account Value drops to zero, no subsequent Purchase Payment will be accepted and no death benefit will be payable. We will however, continue to pay the maximum WB amount each Account Year while you are alive until your remaining GLB amount has been reduced to zero.

If you die while the WB Plan is in force and your surviving spouse, as the sole Beneficiary, elects to continue the Contract, Secured Returns will continue on the same terms, for your surviving spouse, even though the Account Value may have been enhanced under the provisions of the death benefit. (See “Spousal Continuance” under “DEATH BENEFIT” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) In all other situations, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise any of the available options under the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract, or in the alternative, to receive the maximum WB amount on an annual basis until the remaining GLB amount has been reduced to zero.

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as Secured Returns. 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 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 remaining GLB 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. In other words, we will not reduce your remaining GLB amount if a Yearly RMD Amount exceeds either your Maximum WB 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 Account 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 remaining GLB amount per the terms of the rider regarding excess withdrawals, when a Yearly RMD Amount withdrawn from your Contract exceeds your Maximum WB 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 proportionally.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ARE BASED UPON THE ASSUMPTION YOU SELECTED SECURED RETURNS ON OR BEFORE YOUR ISSUE DATE.

Examples 1 through 4 demonstrate how we calculate your Secured Returns Benefit assuming you make no subsequent Purchase Payments and you make no withdrawals other than those satisfying the maximum WB amount under the WB Plan. Examples 1 and 2 show your benefit under the AB Plan, and Examples 3 and 4 show your benefit under the WB Plan. Examples 5 through 8 demonstrate how withdrawals and subsequent Purchase Payments affect your Secured Returns Benefit. Examples 5 and 7 show how withdrawals affect your benefits under the AB Plan. Example 6 shows the effect of withdrawing more than the maximum WB amount under the WB Plan in any one Account Year. Examples 7 and 8 show the effects of making subsequent Purchase Payments.

EXAMPLE 1: Low investment performance; no WB election.

·
Assume that on January 1, 2003, you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had low investment performance.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2013, your Account Value is $85,000. On that date, your Account Value will be increased by $15,000 ($100,000 - $85,000).

EXAMPLE 2: High investment performance; no WB election

·
Assume that on January 1, 2003, you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had high investment performance.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2013, your Account Value is $200,000. Because your Account Value is greater that the GLB amount of $100,000, your Account Value will not be increased.

EXAMPLE 3: Low investment performance; WB election

·
Assume that on January 1, 2003, you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume that you elected the WB plan at issue and choose to systematically withdraw the maximum WB amount (i.e., 7% of the $100,000 or $7,000).
   
·
On December 31, 2003, your remaining GLB amount will be $93,000 ($100,000 - $7,000). Assume that, on that date, your Account Value is $91,000.
   
·
On December 31, 2004, your remaining GLB amount will be $86,000 ($93,000 - $7,000). Assume that, on that date, your Account Value is $80,000. These withdrawals continue for seven more years.
   
·
On December 31, 2011, your remaining GLB amount will be $37,000 ($86,000 - ($7,000 x 7 years)). Assume that, on that date, your Account Value is $0. These withdrawals of $7,000 continue until the remaining GLB amount runs out in year 15, after the final withdrawal of $2,000 has been taken. At that time, the Benefit terminates.

EXAMPLE 4: High investment performance; WB election

·
Assume that you elected the WB plan at issue and choose to systematically withdraw the maximum WB amount (i.e., 7% of the $100,000 or $7,000).
   
·
On December 31, 2003, your remaining GLB amount will be $93,000 ($100,000 - $7,000). Assume that, on that date, your Account Value is $91,000.
   
·
On December 31, 2004, your remaining GLB amount will be $86,000 ($93,000 - $7,000). Assume that, on that date, your Account Value is $90,000. These withdrawals continue for seven more years.
   
·
On December 31, 2011, your remaining GLB amount will be $37,000 ($86,000 - ($7,000 x 7 years)). Assume that, on that date, your Account Value is $50,000. These withdrawals continue for 5 more years.
   
·
On December 31, 2016, the remaining GLB amount equals $2,000 ($37,000 - ($7,000 x 5 years)). Assume the Account Value equals $30,000.
   
·
Assume that, on December 31, 2017, you withdraw the remaining $2,000 to exhaust the remaining GLB amount. Secured Returns thus terminates and the annual fee stops. However, because there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 5: Withdrawals under the AB Plan

·
Assume that on January 1, 2003, you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Your GLB amount is $100,000.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2004, your Account Value is $110,000 and you withdraw 10% of your Account Value (or $11,000). Your GLB amount will be reset to $90,000, i.e., the previous GLB amount ($100,000) reduced proportional to the amount of Account Value withdrawn (10%), or $100,000 - (10% of $100,000).
   
·
Assume you make no more withdrawals or Purchase Payments and that your Account Value, on January 1, 2013, is $85,000. Your Account Value will be increased by $5,000 ($90,000 - $85,000).

EXAMPLE 6: Withdrawals under the WB Plan

·
Assume that on January 1, 2003, you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume that you elected the WB Plan at issue. Your maximum WB amount would be $7,000 (i.e., 7% of the $100,000).
   
·
Assume that, on January 1, 2004, your Account Value is $95,000. Assume that no withdrawals have been made. Your remaining GLB amount is still $100,000 and your maximum WB amount is still $7,000.
   
·
Assume that, on September 3, 2004, your Account Value is $93,000 and you withdraw $5,000. Your Account Value is thus reduced to $88,000, and your remaining GLB amount is reduced to $95,000. Your maximum WB amount is still $7,000; however, you can only withdraw $2,000 more this Account Year without exceeding your maximum WB amount for the Account Year.
   
·
Assume that, on January 4, 2005, your Account Value is $85,000 and you withdraw another $5,000. Your Account Value is thus reduced to $80,000. This is now a new Account Year, so the maximum WB amount has not yet been exceeded. Your remaining GLB amount is reduced to $90,000. Your maximum WB amount is still $7,000; however, you can only withdraw $2,000 more this Account Year without exceeding your maximum WB amount for the Account Year.
   
·
Assume that, on November 4, 2005, your Account Value is $79,000 and you withdraw another $5,000. Your Account Value is thus reduced to $74,000. Your total withdrawals for the current Account Year equal $10,000 ($5,000 + $5,000), a total of $3,000 in excess of your maximum WB amount. Your remaining GLB amount is thus reduced to $74,000; i.e., the lesser of your Account Value ($74,000) and your previous remaining GLB amount reduced dollar for dollar by the withdrawal ($90,000 - $5,000). Your maximum WB amount is reduced so that the date on which the remaining GLB amount expires will be the same date it would have expired had the maximum WB been withdrawn every year, i.e., ($90,000 - $2,000) ÷ $7000 = 12.57 years. Thus the maximum WB amount will become $5,887 ($74,000 ÷ 12.57).

EXAMPLE 7: Withdrawals with subsequent Purchase Payments under the AB Plan

·
Assume that on January 1, 2003, you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume that you did not elect the WB Plan at any time.
   
·
On June 1, 2007, you make a subsequent Purchase Payment of $100,000. Your GLB amount is now $185,000, i.e., ($100,000 x 100%) + ($100,000 x 85%).
   
·
Assume that, on June 1, 2009, your Account Value is $240,000 and you withdraw $40,000. Your Account Value is reduced to $200,000. Your GLB amount is reset to $154,167, i.e., the previous GLB amount reduced proportional to the amount of Account Value withdrawn, or $185,000 x ($200,000 ÷ $240,000). Assume you make no more withdrawals or subsequent Purchase Payments.
   
·
Assume that, on January 1, 2013, your Account Value is $125,000. On that date, your Account Value will be increased by $29,167 ($154,167 - $125,000).

EXAMPLE 8: Withdrawals with subsequent Purchase Payments under the WB Plan

·
Assume that on January 1, 2003, you purchased a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume that you elected the WB plan at issue and choose to systematically withdraw the maximum WB amount (i.e., 7% of the $100,000 or $7,000).
   
·
On January 1, 2004, your remaining GLB amount will be $93,000 ($100,000 - $7,000). Assume that, on that date, your Account Value is $91,000.
   
·
Assume that, on January 6, 2004, you make an additional Purchase Payment of $50,000. Your remaining GLB amount is reset to $143,000 ($93,000 + $50,000). Your maximum WB amount is reset to $10,500 ($7,000 + (7% x $50,000)). Assume you increase your annual withdrawals to equal the maximum WB amount of $10,500.
   
·
Assume that, on January 1, 2005, you withdraw the maximum WB amount of $10,500 and your remaining GLB amount is $132,500 ($143,000 - $10,500). Assume that no additional subsequent Purchase Payments are made and the maximum WB amount is withdrawn annually.
   
·
Assume that, on January 1, 2013, your Account Value equals $0. Your remaining GLB amount will be $48,500, i.e., ($132,500 - ($10,500 x 8 years). Withdrawals will continue until the remaining GLB amount is reduced to zero.


 
 

 

APPENDIX I -
SECURED RETURNS 2

The following information applies to your Contract if you elected to participate in Secured Returns 2 (“Benefit,” “Secured Returns 2,” or “the rider”) and did not replace it with Secured Returns for Life, which was available for such replacements for a limited period of time beginning in November 2005. Secured Returns 2 is no longer available for sale on new Contracts. Since we are no longer offering Secured Returns 2 to new Owners, renewals are no longer available.

Secured Returns 2 guarantees a return of your Purchase Payments (adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals), regardless of the investment performance of the underlying funds, provided that you comply with certain Benefit requirements. The amount guaranteed can be greater than or less than your Account Value. All Benefits and charges under Secured Returns 2 terminate upon annuitization.

Secured Returns 2 is available only if you are age 84 or younger on the Open Date. If you choose to participate in the Benefit, you must make your election no later than your Issue Date. You may combine the Benefit with any optional death benefit other than the EEB Premier Plus. Upon annuitization, Secured Returns 2 and any elected optional death benefit automatically terminate.

To participate in Secured Returns 2, 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 guaranteed amount is reduced to zero. See “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

Unlike other Contract charges, the charge for Secured Returns 2 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 is 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 0.00125. (See Example 12 in this Appendix.) The specific amount of the quarterly charge will be reflected on your quarterly account statement. We will continue to deduct this charge until you annuitize or your Secured Returns 2 Benefit expires or is revoked. Cancellation of the Benefit (caused by a transfer out of a Designated Fund or a Purchase Payment allocation to a non-Designated Fund) will not terminate the charge, until the 7th Account Anniversary. Anytime after your 7th Account Anniversary, you may revoke Secured Returns 2. Once revoked, Secured Returns 2 may not be reinstated. After Secured Returns 2 has been revoked, all benefits and charges will end.

Transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached. If however you transfer some or all of your Account Value out of the Designated Fund into another investment option offered under your Contract, Secured Returns 2 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, Secured Returns 2 will be cancelled. Once the Benefit has been cancelled, it cannot be reinstated. After the cancellation of the Benefit, you will continue to pay the annual charge for the Benefit until your 7th Account Anniversary.

If you elect Secured Returns 2, you may choose to receive your Benefit under one of two plans: the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (“AB”) Plan or the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“WB”) Plan.

If you elect Secured Returns 2, you are automatically enrolled in the AB Plan. After your first Account Anniversary, you may elect instead to receive your Benefit under the WB Plan, provided that you make the election prior to the earliest of your 81st birthday, the date you annuitize, and the date your AB Plan matures. 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.

All withdrawals under Secured Returns 2 are subject to withdrawal charges if they are in excess of the annual free withdrawal amount. (See “Free Withdrawal Amount” under “Withdrawal Charge” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) In addition, if you have elected Secured Returns 2, but have not yet elected to participate in the WB Plan, any withdrawals you make will reduce your Guaranteed Living Benefit Amount (“GLB amount”) proportionally to the amount of Account Value withdrawn. For examples showing how withdrawals affect your benefits under Secured Returns 2, see Examples 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 in this Appendix.

Under the terms of the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (“AB”) Plan, on your 10th Account Anniversary, we will credit your Account Value with any excess of your GLB amount over your Account Value after the application of any other Contract transactions. Any such amount will be allocated to the Designated Fund in which you are invested at that time. Your GLB amount is equal to the sum of 100% of your initial Purchase Payment plus a specified percentage of any subsequent Purchase Payments, adjusted in amount for partial withdrawals. One or more subsequent Purchase Payments during the 10-year period will not restart the 10-year period. For each subsequent Purchase Payment after the second Account Anniversary, we will increase the GLB amount by less than 100% of the Purchase Payment depending upon the Account Year in which it was made, as follows:

Account Year in which
Purchase Payment was made
Percentage guaranteed
1-2
100%
3-5
85%
6-8
70%
9-10
60%

For examples of how we calculate benefits under the AB Plan, see Examples 1, 2, and 3 in this Appendix. Note that the timing and amount of subsequent Purchase Payments may affect the total Secured Returns 2 Benefit. In particular, it may be disadvantageous for you to make Purchase Payments that increase the GLB amount by less than 100% of the payment.

If your Contract remains in the AB Plan until it “matures” on the later of your 10th Account Anniversary or 10 years from your most recent Step-Up Date, and the Account Value is greater than or equal to the GLB amount on the “maturity date,” then we will refund the charges you have paid for Secured Returns 2 (“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 “maturity date.” No refund of Secured Returns 2 charges will be made if you change from the AB Plan to the WB Plan.

To calculate the GLB amount after a partial withdrawal under the AB Plan, we multiply the GLB amount immediately before the withdrawal by the ratio of the Account Value immediately after the withdrawal to the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal. (See Examples 6 and 9 in this Appendix.)

If you die while participating in the AB Plan, all benefits and charges under Secured Returns 2 will automatically terminate when we receive Due Proof of Death, unless your surviving spouse is the sole Beneficiary. In that case, your surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract. If such election is made, the same Secured Returns 2 Benefit will apply. Your surviving spouse can elect the WB Plan at any time prior to the earliest of annuitization, the surviving spouse’s 81st birthday, and the date the AB Plan is scheduled to “mature”. If your surviving spouse does not elect the WB Plan, the AB Plan will continue on the same terms, for your surviving spouse, even though the Account Value may have been enhanced under the provisions of the death benefit. (See “Spousal Continuance” under “DEATH BENEFIT” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) In all cases, the GLB amount will not reset upon your death, but the charges under Secured Returns 2 will be assessed against the enhanced Account Value.

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

Under the terms of the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“WB”) Plan, you may withdraw up to a set dollar amount from your Account Value each year during which the WB Plan is in effect, until your remaining GLB amount equals zero. Once the remaining GLB amount is reduced to zero, the Secured Returns 2 Benefit will expire and no new Purchase Payments will be accepted into the WB Plan. This set dollar amount, or “maximum WB amount,” is equal to 7% of the remaining GLB amount on the date you elect to participate in the WB Plan. You are not required to make any withdrawals after you have elected the WB Plan; however, if you withdraw more than the maximum WB amount in any Account Year, your remaining GLB amount and future guaranteed withdrawals will be reduced in the manner discussed further below. You should be aware that a withdrawal in excess of the maximum WB amount might significantly reduce your Secured Returns 2 Benefits if your Account Value is less than your remaining GLB amount. In all cases, the value you will receive upon a full withdrawal, or “surrender” of your Contract, will be your Contract’s Surrender Value and not the remaining GLB amount. Provided any remaining GLB amount is not reduced to zero, any subsequent Purchase Payment made after you have elected the WB Plan, and before your fourth Account Anniversary, will increase your remaining GLB amount by 100% of such subsequent Purchase Payment. Your maximum WB amount will increase by 7% of such subsequent Purchase Payment. After your fourth Account Anniversary, you may not make any additional Purchase Payments unless your WB Plan has expired.

Once you have elected to participate in the WB Plan, withdrawals of no more than the maximum WB amount will reduce the remaining GLB amount dollar for dollar. If you are participating in the WB Plan and you withdraw, in any one Account Year, more than the current maximum WB amount, the remaining GLB amount will be reduced to equal the lesser of:

(a)
your previous remaining GLB amount reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of the withdrawal, or
   
(b)
your Account Value.

If (b), above, is less than (a), then your maximum WB amount will be reduced so that the new remaining GLB amount will expire on the same date it would have had the maximum WB amount been withdrawn every year thereafter. (See Example 7 in this Appendix.)

The maximum WB amount is not cumulative. That is to say, if you withdraw less than the maximum WB amount in any one Account Year, you cannot add that unused portion to withdrawals made in future years to exceed the maximum WB amount.

Under the WB Plan, your Secured Returns 2 benefits will continue until your remaining GLB amount is reduced to zero, even if your Account Value drops to zero. If your Account Value drops to zero, no subsequent Purchase Payment will be accepted and no death benefit will be payable. We will however, continue to pay the maximum WB amount each Account Year while you are alive until your remaining GLB amount has been reduced to zero.

For examples of how we calculate benefits under the WB Plan, see Examples 4 and 5 in this Appendix.

If you die while participating in the WB Plan and your surviving spouse, as the sole Beneficiary, elects to continue the Contract, Secured Returns 2 will continue on the same terms, for your surviving spouse, even though the Account Value may have been enhanced under the provisions of the death benefit. (See “Spousal Continuance” under “DEATH BENEFIT” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) In such case, the remaining GLB amount will not reset upon your death, but the charges under Secured Returns 2 will be assessed against the enhanced Account Value. In all other situations, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise any of the available options under the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract, or in the alternative, to receive the maximum WB amount on an annual basis until the remaining GLB amount has been reduced to zero.

After your fifth Account Anniversary, you may elect to increase (“step-up”) your GLB amount or remaining GLB amount to your then current Account Value. Currently, this step-up election may be made on any day after your fifth Account Anniversary. (We reserve the right to require step-up elections to occur only within 30 days following the fifth or any subsequent Account Anniversary.) On the day we receive your step-up election notice in good order (the “Step-Up Date”), we will increase your GLB or remaining GLB amount to an amount equal to your Account Value on the Step-Up Date. If you elect to step-up your GLB or remaining GLB amount, at least 5 full years from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up. You can only elect to step-up the GLB or remaining GLB amount if the current Account Value is greater than the current GLB or remaining GLB amount. If you are in the AB Plan, you must be less than age 85 on the Step-Up Date. If you are in the WB Plan, you must be less than age 81 on the Step-Up Date.

Following your step-up election, the rider fee may be changed to an amount that may be higher than your current Secured Returns 2 fee as discussed above. The rider fee after the step-up will be set by us, based upon current market conditions at the time of the step-up. Significant changes in stock market prices, interest rate fluctuations, and competitive industry trends are among the market conditions we consider in whether to change the fee.

If you are participating in the AB Plan and you elect to step-up your GLB amount, the term of your benefit under the AB Plan will change. Without a step-up, your benefit under the AB Plan will “mature” on the 10th Account Anniversary (the date we credit your Account with any excess of your GLB amount over your Account Value or refund your Secured Returns 2 rider charges). After you make a step-up election, your benefit under the AB Plan will mature 10 years from the Step-Up Date. (See Example 2 in this Appendix.)

If you have been receiving benefits under the WB Plan, a step-up may change your “maximum WB amount.” After the step up, your “maximum WB amount” will become the greater of the current “maximum WB amount” and 7% of your new remaining GLB amount. Note that, if you step-up in a particular Account Year, any withdrawals previously made in that Account Year are applied against your new “maximum WB amount.” (See Example 8 in this Appendix.)

At the time of a step-up, if your benefit is under the AB Plan, you can still change to the WB Plan at a later date, subject to the applicable age restrictions described above.

Because Purchase Payments, under the WB Plan, are not allowed after your fourth Account Anniversary, you must be participating in the AB Plan to make any subsequent Purchase Payments after a Step-Up. After your step-up election, any subsequent Purchase Payment will increase the GLB amount under your AB Plan by a specified percentage of the subsequent Purchase Payment. The percentage guaranteed depends upon “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, 2005, and elected to step-up your Contract on October 1, 2010. Under the AB Plan that you have elected, your benefit matures on October 1, 2020. For any subsequent Purchase Payments you make, your GLB amount will increase by the following percentages:
   
Step-Up Year
Payments Made Between
Percentage Guaranteed
 
1
10/02/10 – 10/01/11
100%
 
2
10/02/11 – 10/01/12
100%
 
3
10/02/12 – 10/01/13
85%
 
4
10/02/13 – 10/01/14
85%
 
5
10/02/14 – 10/01/15
85%
 
6
10/02/15 – 10/01/16
70%
 
7
10/02/16 – 10/01/17
70%
 
8
10/02/17 – 10/01/18
70%
 
9
10/02/18 – 10/01/19
60%
 
10
10/02/19 – 10/01/20
60%
 

Thus, a subsequent Purchase Payment made on October 2, 2015, will provide only a 70% guarantee whereas a subsequent Purchase Payment made on October 1, 2015, will provide an 85% guarantee. (See Example 10 in this Appendix.) It may be disadvantageous for you to make any such Purchase Payments that increase the GLB amount by less than 100% of the payment.

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as Secured Returns 2. 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 2 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 remaining GLB 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. In other words, we will not reduce your remaining GLB amount if a Yearly RMD Amount exceeds either your Maximum WB 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 Account 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 remaining GLB amount per the terms of the rider regarding excess withdrawals, when a Yearly RMD Amount withdrawn from your Contract exceeds your Maximum WB 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 proportionally.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ARE BASED UPON THE ASSUMPTION YOU ELECTED SECURED RETURNS 2 ON JANUARY 1, 2005 WITH AN INITIAL PURCHASE PAYMENT OF $100,000. YOUR INITIAL GLB AMOUNT EQUALS YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENT AMOUNT OF $100,000.

EXAMPLE 1: Low investment performance; no WB election.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had low investment performance. Since your Account Value was below the GLB amount of $100,000 from January 1, 2010 through January 1, 2015, the step-up feature is not available.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2015, your Account Value is $85,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $4,625.
   
·
Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $15,000, an amount equal to $15,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($100,000 - $85,000).

EXAMPLE 2: Low investment performance; no WB election; step-up elected.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had low investment performance. However, assume that your Account Value was $150,000 on January 1, 2010. Since this amount is greater than your GLB amount, you may step-up to a new 10 year period, with a new GLB amount of $150,000. Assume that you do elect to step-up.
   
·
Your new GMAB rider maturity date is now January 1, 2020 (ten years after the date of the step-up). Assume that on January 1, 2020, your Account Value is $130,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $10,125.
   
·
Since your Account Value is lower than your stepped-up GLB by $20,000, an amount equal to $20,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($150,000 - $130,000).

EXAMPLE 3: High investment performance; no WB election; refund applies.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had high investment performance. Assume that your Account Value was $150,000 on January 1, 2010. Since this amount is greater than your GLB amount, you may step-up to a new 10-year period, with a new GLB amount of $150,000. Assume that you do not elect to step-up.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2015, your Account Value is $200,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $7,500.
   
·
Because your Account Value is greater than the GLB amount of $100,000, your account will be credited with the amount of your rider charges, increasing your Account Value to $207,500.

EXAMPLE 4: Low investment performance; WB election.

·
Assume that you elect the WB plan at the beginning of the second Account Year and then choose to systematically withdraw the maximum WB amount (i.e., 7% of the $100,000 remaining GLB amount, or $7,000).
   
·
On December 31, 2006, your remaining GLB amount will be $93,000. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value is $91,000.
   
·
On December 31, 2007, your remaining GLB amount will be $86,000. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value is $80,000. The $7,000 withdrawals continue for seven more years. Assume that from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2014, your Account Value is less than your remaining GLB amount. Therefore, the step-up feature is not available.
   
·
On December 31, 2014, your remaining GLB amount will be $37,000. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value is $0.
   
·
These withdrawals of $7,000 continue until the remaining GLB amount runs out in year 2020. At that time, Secured Returns 2 terminates.

EXAMPLE 5: High investment performance; WB election; step-up elected.

·
Assume that you elect the WB plan at the beginning of the second Account Year and then choose to systematically withdraw the maximum WB amount (i.e., 7% of the $100,000 remaining GLB amount, or $7,000).
   
·
On December 31, 2006, your remaining GLB amount will be $93,000. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value is $95,000.
   
·
On December 31, 2007, your remaining GLB amount will be $86,000. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value is $90,000. The $7,000 withdrawals continue for two more years. Assume that on January 1, 2010, your Account Value is $80,000 and your remaining GLB amount is $72,000. Since your Account Value is greater than your remaining GLB amount, you may step-up your remaining GLB amount to $80,000. Assume you elect to step-up. Your maximum WB amount is calculated as 7% of $80,000 = $5,600. However, since this is less than your current maximum WB amount of $7,000, your maximum WB amount will remain at $7,000.
   
·
Assume you continue to withdraw $7,000 per year for four more years. On December 31, 2013, your remaining GLB amount will be $52,000. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value is $56,000.
   
·
These $7,000 withdrawals continue. On December 31, 2020, the remaining GLB amount equals $3,000. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value equals $20,000.
   
·
Assume that you withdraw $3,000 on February 12, 2021. At this time, the remaining GLB amount is reduced to zero and Secured Returns 2 terminates and the annual fee stops. However, because there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 6: Withdrawals under the AB Plan; low investment performance.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB plan at any time.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2006, you withdraw 10% of your Account Value of $110,000 (or $11,000). Your Account Value is now $99,000.
   
·
On January 1, 2006, your GLB amount will be reset to $90,000 (the previous GLB amount reduced proportional to the amount of Account Value withdrawn).
   
·
Assume you make no more withdrawals or Purchase Payments and that your Account Value on January 1, 2015 is $87,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $4,710.
   
·
Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $3,000, an amount equal to $3,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($90,000 - $87,000).

EXAMPLE 7: Withdrawals under the WB Plan; low investment performance.

·
Assume that you elect the WB plan at the beginning of your second Account Year. The maximum WB amount would be $7,000 (i.e., 7% of the $100,000 remaining GLB amount). However, assume no withdrawals are made. On July 1, 2006, assume that your Account Value is $95,000. The remaining GLB amount is still $100,000, and the maximum WB amount is still $7,000.
   
·
Assume that you make a withdrawal of $5,000 on September 3, 2006. Your remaining GLB amount is now $95,000. Assume that your Account Value is now $88,000.
   
·
Assume that you make another withdrawal of $5,000 on April 5, 2007. This is now a new Account Year, so the maximum WB amount has not been exceeded yet. Your remaining GLB amount is now $90,000. Assume that your Account Value is now $80,000.
   
·
Assume that you make another withdrawal of $5,000 on September 18, 2007. Your total withdrawals in the current Account Year are now $10,000 and exceed the WB maximum of $7,000. Assume that your Account Value is $79,000 just before the withdrawal, and $74,000 just after the withdrawal.
   
·
Because your withdrawals exceeded the maximum WB amount, your remaining GLB amount is reduced to the lesser of your previous remaining GLB amount reduced dollar for dollar for the withdrawal ($90,000 - $5,000), and your current Account Value ($74,000). Therefore, your new remaining GLB amount is $74,000. Your maximum WB amount is reduced so that the date on which the remaining GLB expires will be the same date it would have expired had the maximum WB been withdrawn every year (i.e., ($90,000 - $2,000) ÷ $7,000 = 12.57 years). Thus the new maximum WB amount becomes $5,887 ($74,000 ÷ 12.57).

EXAMPLE 8: Withdrawals under the WB Plan; high investment performance; step-up elected.

Assume that you elect the WB plan at the beginning of your second Account Year. The maximum WB amount would be $7,000 (i.e., 7% of the $100,000 remaining GLB amount). However, assume you make no withdrawals. On February 1, 2010, assume that your Account Value is $124,000. Since your Account Value is greater than your remaining GLB amount, you may step-up your remaining GLB amount to $124,000. Assume that you do not step-up. Your remaining GLB amount is still $100,000, and the maximum WB amount is still $7,000.
   
·
Assume that on March 3, 2010, your Account Value is now $125,000. You now make a withdrawal of $5,000. Your remaining GLB amount is now $95,000. Your Account Value is now $120,000. Since your Account Value is greater than your remaining GLB amount, you may step-up your remaining GLB amount to $120,000. Assume that you do step-up. Your maximum WB amount is calculated as 7% of $120,000 = $8,400. Since this is greater than your current maximum WB amount of $7,000, your maximum WB amount increases to $8,400.
   
·
Assume that you wish to make another withdrawal on October 5, 2010. Because you have already withdrawn $5,000 in the current Account Year, you can withdraw $3,400 ($8,400 - $5,000) without exceeding your WB maximum. Assume that you withdraw this $3,400. Your remaining GLB amount is now $116,600 ($120,000 - $3,400). Assume that your Account Value is now $118,000.
   
·
On January 2, 2011 you begin a new Account Year. Therefore, you can withdraw $8,400 in this new Account Year without exceeding your WB maximum. Assume that you do withdraw $8,400 in this Account Year. On December 31, 2011, the remaining GLB amount equals $108,200. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value equals $110,000.
   
·
Assume that you continue to withdraw $8,400 each Account Year. On December 31, 2023, the remaining GLB amount equals $7,400. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value equals $30,000.
   
·
Assume that you withdraw $7,400 on March 12, 2024. At that time, the remaining GLB amount is reduced to zero and Secured Returns 2 terminates and the annual fee stops. However, because there is a remaining Account Value, the Contract continues.

EXAMPLE 9: Withdrawals with Subsequent Purchase Payments under the AB Plan; low investment performance.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB Plan at any time.
   
·
On June 1, 2010, you make an additional $80,000 Purchase Payment.
   
·
On June 1, 2010, your GLB amount is $168,000 [$100,000 + ($80,000 x 85%)].
   
·
Assume that, on June 1, 2011, you withdraw $40,000 and that your Account Value is $240,000 at this time. After the withdrawal, your Account Value is $200,000.
   
·
On June 1, 2011, your GLB amount is reset to $140,000. This equals the previous remaining GLB amount reduced proportional to the amount of Account Value withdrawn, or $168,000 x [1 – (40,000 ÷ 240,000)].
   
·
Assume you make no more withdrawals or Purchase Payments and that your Account Value on January 1, 2015, is $125,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $6,670.
   
·
Since your Account Value is less than your GLB amount by $15,000, an amount equal to $15,000 will be deposited into your Contract ($140,000 - $125,000).

EXAMPLE 10: Step-up and Subsequent Purchase Payments under the AB Plan; high investment performance; step-up elected; refund applies.

·
Assume that you did not elect the WB Plan at any time and that your Designated Fund had high investment performance. Assume that your Account Value is $150,000 on January 1, 2010. Since this amount is greater than your GLB amount, you may step-up to a new 10-year period, with a new GLB amount of $150,000. Assume that you do elect to step-up.
   
·
On June 1, 2011, you make an additional $80,000 Purchase Payment.
   
·
On June 1, 2011, your GLB amount is $230,000 [$150,000 + ($80,000 x 100%)]. Since it has only been one year since the step-up was elected, the GLB amount is increased by 100% of the new Purchase Payment amount.
   
·
Your new AB Plan maturity date is now January 1, 2020 (ten years after the date of the step-up). Assume that on January 1, 2020 your Account Value is $280,000. Assume that your total rider charges to date are $15,130.
   
·
Because your Account Value is greater than the GLB amount of $230,000, your account will be credited with the amount of your rider charges, increasing your Account Value to $295,130.

EXAMPLE 11: Withdrawals with Subsequent Purchase Payments under the WB Plan.

·
Assume that you elect the WB plan at the beginning of the second Account Year and then choose to systematically withdraw the maximum WB amount (i.e., 7% of the $100,000 remaining GLB amount or $7,000).
   
·
On January 1, 2007, your remaining GLB amount will be $93,000. Assume that, on this date, your Account Value is $91,000.
   
·
On January 6, 2007, you make an additional Purchase Payment of $50,000.
   
·
Your remaining GLB amount is reset to $143,000 ($93,000 + $50,000).
   
·
Your maximum WB amount is reset to $10,500 [$7,000 + (7% x $50,000)].
   
·
Assume you increase your annual withdrawals to equal the maximum WB amount of $10,500.
   
·
On January 1, 2008, your remaining GLB amount is $132,500 ($143,000 - $10,500). Assume that you make no additional Purchase Payments and the maximum WB amount is withdrawn annually.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2016, your Account Value is $0. Your remaining GLB amount will be $48,500 [$132,500 – ($10,500 x 8 years)]. Withdrawals of $10,500 will continue until the remaining GLB amount runs out in year 2020. At that time, the Secured Returns 2 terminates.

EXAMPLE 12: Calculation of explicit rider charges.

·
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 first ten years. Also assume that you do not elect to step-up at any time.
   
·
On March 31, 2005, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns 2 is taken is $101,196.79. The charge deducted on March 31, 2005 is $126.50 ($101,196.79 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on March 31, 2005 is $101,070.29 ($101,196.79 - $126.50).
   


 
 

 


·
On June 30, 2005, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns 2 is taken is $102,307.23. The fee deducted on June 30, 2005 is $127.88 ($102,307.23 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on June 30, 2005 is $102,179.35 ($102,307.23 - $127.88).
   
·
On September 30, 2005, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns 2 is taken is $103,443.69. The fee deducted on September 30, 2005 is $129.30 ($103,443.69 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on September 30, 2005 is $103,314.39 ($103,443.69 - $129.30).
   
·
This pattern continues until the maturity date for your Benefit of January 1, 2015. 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 2 charges that have been made. Note that if Secured Returns 2 was revoked or cancelled before the maturity date for your Benefit of January 1, 2015, then no Secured Returns 2 credit will be made to your Account.


 
 

 

APPENDIX J -
SECURED RETURNS FOR LIFE PLUS SM

The optional living benefit known as Secured Returns for Life Plus (“Secured Returns for Life Plus,” “Benefit,” or “the rider”) was available for Contracts purchased on or after April 11, 2006, and prior to February 17, 2009. The following information applies to your Contract if you elected to participate in Secured Returns for Life Plus. Secured Returns for Life Plus is no longer available for sale on new Contracts. Since we are no longer offering Secured Returns for Life Plus to new Owners, renewals are no longer available.

Secured Returns for Life Plus provides a guarantee of a return of your initial Purchase Payment (adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals), during the accumulation period 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. (You should note that the Benefit does not, in all cases, guarantee payments “for Life.” Certain actions you take may reduce, and even terminate, your Benefit, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.)

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 an Account 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 in this Appendix under “Plus 5 Program.”

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 85 on the Issue Date, your AB Plan Maturity Date is the later of your 10th Account Anniversary or 10 years from the date of your last step-up. (See “Step-Up.”) If you are 85 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 Account Years; or, if less than 10 years, the period of time up to the Account Year in which the oldest Participant 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
Amount (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 Account 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 Participant 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 Participant 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, the terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant as described under “Death of Participant Under the AB Plan” and “Death of Participant Under the WB Plan.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, 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

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 listed in the section entitled “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

When you elected to participate in 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, 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.

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 in this Appendix 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 Account Anniversary will be reduced depending upon the Account Year in which it was made, as follows:

Account 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 Account 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” in this Appendix.) For examples of how we calculate benefits under the AB Plan, see Examples 1 and 2 in this Appendix.

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 Account 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 Account Year, your RGLB and future guaranteed withdrawals will be reduced in the manner described in this Appendix under “Withdrawals Under Secured Returns for Life Plus.”

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 Account 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 Account Year after your first Account Anniversary following your 59th birthday. If you exceed your Maximum WB for Life Amount in any one Account Year, the amount of your subsequent guaranteed lifetime withdrawals will be reduced in the manner discussed in this Appendix under “Withdrawals Under Secured Returns for Life Plus.”

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 above 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:

·
the date you elected to participate in the WB Plan if you are age 60 or older on that date, or
   
·
your first Account 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 Account 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 Secured Returns for Life Plus” in this Appendix.)

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 Account 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 in this Appendix under “Step-Up.” Under the WB Plan, after your fourth Account Anniversary, you may not make any additional Purchase Payments unless your Benefit under the rider has been cancelled, terminated, or revoked. After the fourth Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit while participating in the WB Plan will be returned to you.

For examples of how we calculate benefits under the WB Plan, see Examples 5 and 6 in this Appendix.

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 Account Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in the later Account Years. Under Secured Returns for Life Plus, the Plus 5 Program is automatically available to you during your first 10 Account 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 Account 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:

·
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 Account 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.
   
·
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 Account 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:
   
·
your GLB Base prior to the addition of the amount of any bonus, and
   
·
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:
   
·
your Lifetime Income Base prior to the addition of the bonus amount, and
   
·
the lesser of:
   
·
your RGLB amount after the addition of the bonus amount, and
   
·
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 Account 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 Secured Returns for Life Plus

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” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached. 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 Example 18 in this Appendix.) 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 Account Year is equal to 0.50% of the highest Account Value at any point in that Account Year.

We will continue to deduct this charge until:

·
you annuitize or
   
·
under the provisions of Secured Returns for Life Plus:
   
·
your Benefit matures;
   
·
your Benefit is revoked (see “Revocation of Secured Returns for Life Plus” in this Appendix); or
   
·
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 Account Anniversary. (See “Cancellation of Secured Returns for Life Plus” in this Appendix.)

Withdrawals Under Secured Returns for Life Plus

All withdrawals under Secured Returns for Life Plus are subject to withdrawal charges if they are in excess of your annual free withdrawal amount. (See “Free Withdrawal Amount” under “Withdrawal Charge” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached) In addition, any withdrawals you take under Secured Returns for Life Plus may 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.

You should be aware that, if your Account Value is less than the amount of your Benefit at the time a withdrawal is taken, your GLB amount will be reduced by an amount equal to or more than the amount withdrawn. Thus, withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under Secured Returns for Life Plus, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

We will also proportionally reduce your Bonus Base and any accrued bonuses using a similar calculation. (See Example 3 in this Appendix.) However, as discussed in detail in this Appendix 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 Account 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. You should be aware that, if you withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount at time when your Account Value is less than the amount of your Benefit, your RGLB amount will be reduced by an amount equal to or more than the excess amount withdrawn. Thus, withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under Secured Returns for Life Plus, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

Here is how we calculate the benefit reduction. Your new RGLB amount will be the lesser of:

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

Your new GLB Base will be the lesser of:

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

Your new Bonus Base will be the lesser of:

·
your previous Bonus Base reduced by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Maximum WB Amount, and
   
·
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 Account 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 Account 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:

·
your previous Lifetime Income Base reduced by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Maximum WB for Life Amount, and
   
·
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 Account 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:

·
A withdrawal in excess of the Maximum WB Amount or the Maximum WB for Life Amount might reduce and even terminate your Secured Returns for Life Plus Benefits, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.
   
·
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 and your Contract will terminate without value.
   
·
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 Examples 5 through 7 and Examples 11 and 12 in this Appendix.

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:

·
annuitize the Contract as described under “THE INCOME PHASE - ANNUITY PROVISIONS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached;
   
·
surrender your Contract;
   
·
receive the Maximum WB Amount each year until the RGLB amount is reduced to zero; or
   
·
receive the Maximum WB for Life Amount each year until a Participant 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. Note that the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date permitted under this Contract is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. See “Selection of Annuity Commencement Date” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

Cancellation of Secured Returns for Life Plus

Transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached 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 Account Anniversary.

Revocation of Secured Returns for Life Plus

Anytime after your 7th Account 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 Account 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 Account Anniversary. (We reserve the right to require step-up elections to occur only within 30 days following the first or any subsequent Account 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 one full year from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up. You can only elect to step-up if:

·
your current Account Value is greater than the current GLB amount, and
   
·
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 one full year from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up. You can only elect to step-up if:

·
your current Account Value is greater than the current GLB Base and greater than the current Lifetime Income Base, and
   
·
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 Account 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 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 Example 4 in this Appendix.) Accrued bonus amounts after step-up under the AB Plan will be equal to the greater of:

·
the accrued bonus amount before step-up less the difference between the GLB amount after and before step-up, and
   
·
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 in this Appendix under “Cost of Secured Returns for Life Plus.” 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. Significant changes in stock market prices, interest rate fluctuations, and competitive industry trends are among the market conditions we consider in whether to change the fee.

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 Account Year, any withdrawals previously made in that Account Year are applied against your new Maximum WB Amount and your new Maximum WB for Life Amount. (See Example 8 in this Appendix.)

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 in this Appendix under “Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (‘WB’) Plan”. (See Example 16 in this Appendix.)

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 Account 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.

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 charges will be made if you change from the AB Plan to the WB Plan.

Death of Participant Under the AB Plan

If any Participant dies 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” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) 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 Participants 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:
   
·
the date the surviving spouse elected to participate in the WB Plan, if the spouse is age 60 or older on that date, or
   
·
the Account 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 a Participant’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 Participant Under the WB Plan

If any Participant 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” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached) 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 benefit on the original contract (subject to the terms and conditions described above under “Death of Participant Under the AB Plan”) and, thus, be eligible to receive lifetime withdrawal benefits.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as Secured Returns for Life Plus. 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 Account 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 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 Secured Returns for Life Plus” in this Appendix).

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ARE BASED UPON THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU ELECTED SECURED RETURNS FOR LIFE PLUS ON JANUARY 1, 2007 WITH AN INITIAL PURCHASE PAYMENT OF $100,000. YOUR INITIAL GLB AMOUNT EQUALS YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENT AMOUNT OF $100,000.

EXAMPLE 1: Calculation of Benefits under AB Plan.

·
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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain in the AB plan until it “matures” on January 1, 2017. 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, 2017 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).

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

·
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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that on May 20, 2009, you make a Purchase Payment of $80,000. Since you are in your third Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain in the AB Plan until it “matures” on January 1, 2017. 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, 2017 is $200,000. Assume that the total rider charges you paid were $8,375.
   
·
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.


 
 

 

EXAMPLE 3: Withdrawals under AB Plan.

·
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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that on March 10, 2009 (in your third Account 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, 2009 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no more withdrawals in your third Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, your GLB amount remains at $87,500, and your Bonus Base also remains at $87,500. Since you made a withdrawal in your third Account Year, you do not accrue a bonus amount in that Account Year. Therefore, your accrued bonus amount remains at $8,750.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain in the AB plan until it “matures” on January 1, 2017. 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, 2017 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).

EXAMPLE 4: Step-up elected under AB Plan.

·
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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, 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.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2010 your Account Value is $118,000. Since you have passed your first Account Anniversary and have not stepped-up with 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, 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 $15,000, your new accrued bonus amount is set equal to $0.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, 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.
   
·
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 $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, 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).

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

·
Assume you are age 56 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2007, and that you choose to systematically withdraw the Maximum WB Amount annually.
   
·
On January 1, 2007:
   
·
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is zero because you have not passed your first Account Anniversary after your 59th birthday
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is zero [4% of your Lifetime Income Base].
·
Your Bonus Base is $100,000 [the amount of your initial Purchase Payment]. Since you are taking withdrawals each Account Year, you do not receive any bonus credits.
   
·
On December 31, 2007, after your first systematic withdrawal of $5,000, your Maximum WB Amount:
   
·
Your Account Value is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal [$5,000].
·
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $95,000 [$100,000-$5,000].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is zero because you have not passed your first Account Anniversary after your 59th birthday.
·
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
·
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, 2009, you celebrate your 59th birthday. On January 1, 2010:
   
·
Your Account Value has been reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals [$15,000].
·
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawal, is $85,000 [$100,000-($5,000 x 3)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount in any Account Year.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is set at $85,000 [an amount equal to the RGLB amount on your first Account Anniversary after your 59th birthday].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $3,400 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are less than 65 years old].
·
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
·
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, 2029:
   
·
Your Account Value equals zero.
·
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals, is $17,000 [85,000 – ($3,400 x 20)]
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than the Maximum WB Amount in any Account Year.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $85,000 because you did not withdraw more than the Maximum WB for Life Amount in any Account Year.
·
Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Account 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.
   
·
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.

·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 60].
·
Your Bonus Base is $100,000 [the amount of your initial Purchase Payment]. Since you are taking withdrawals each Account Year, you do not receive any bonus credits.
   
·
On December 31, 2007, after your first systematic withdrawal of $4,000:
   
·
Your Account Value is reduced by the amount of the withdrawal [$4,000].
·
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $96,000 [$100,000-$4,000].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
·
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
·
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 Account Year. Assume also that, immediately before the subsequent Purchase Payment, your Account Value was $80,000. On December 31, 2010:
   
·
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].
·
Your GLB Base, increased by the subsequent Purchase Payment, is $150,000.
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $7,500 [5% of your new GLB Base]

·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $6,000 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base]
·
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.
   
·
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, 2030:

Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the total withdrawals is $14,000 [$134,000 – ($6,000 x 20)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $150,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $150,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount in any Account Year.

Your Bonus Base is $0 because bonus credits may only be given in the first ten Account 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:

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

·
Assume you are age 63 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2007. Assume that your Designated Fund had poor investment performance, losing 2% a year over the course of the Contract. On January 1, 2007:
   
·
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $4,000 [4% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 63].
·
Your Bonus Base is $100,000 [the amount of your initial Purchase Payment]. Since you are taking withdrawals each Account Year, you do not receive any bonus credits.
   
·
On December 31, 2007, after you take a withdrawal of $6,000, your Account Value is $92,000:
   
·
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]].
·
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]].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is now $4,600 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
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]].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $3,680 [4% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
·
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]].
   
·
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 Account Years.
   
·
Assume your fund earns -2% in Account Year 14, and that you take another $6,000 withdrawal. On December 31, 2020:
   
·
Your Account Value is $1,457.
·
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)].
·
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]].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount equals $73 [5% of your new GLB Base].
·
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]].
·
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.

·
Assume you are age 65 at issue. Also assume that you elect the WB plan on January 1, 2007, 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, 2007:
   
·
Your GLB Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 [the value of your RGLB amount on the day you elect to participate in the WB Plan].
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base because you are age 65].
·
Your Bonus Base is $100,000 [the amount of your initial Purchase Payment]. Since you are taking withdrawals each Account Year, you do not receive any bonus credits.
   
·
On December 31, 2007, after you take your first systematic withdrawal of $5,000, your Account Value is $101,000:
   
·
Your RGLB amount, reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, is $95,000 [$100,000-$5,000].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base].
·
Your Bonus Base is still $100,000 because you did not withdraw more than your Maximum WB Amount.
   
·
Assume you make no subsequent Purchase Payments, but you take systematic withdrawals of $5,000 for a total of 3 years. On December 31, 2009:
   
·
Your Account Value is $103,184.
·
Your RGLB amount is $85,000 [$100,000 - ($5,000 x 3)].
·
Your GLB Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB Amount.
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,000 [5% of your GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is still $100,000 because you withdrew no more than your Maximum WB for Life Amount.
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,000 [5% of your Lifetime Income Base].
·
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, 2010*:
   
·
Your Account Value is $103,184.
·
Your RGLB amount is $103,184.
·
Your GLB Base is $103,184.
·
Your Maximum WB Amount is $5,159 [5% of your new GLB Base].
·
Your Lifetime Income Base is $103,184.
·
Your Maximum WB for Life Amount is $5,159 [5% of your new Lifetime Income Base].
·
Your Bonus Base is $103,184.
   
*
Note: Assume instead that you elected to step-up sometime in 2010 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 2010 without exceeding your maximum amounts.

EXAMPLE 9: WB election at issue; Withdrawals not taken immediately.

·
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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,500 in your third Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $5,500 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2028. 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.

·
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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that you make a Purchase Payment of $60,000 in your second Account 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.
   

·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $8,650 in your third Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $8,650 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2028. 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 Account 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.

·
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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your first Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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
(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.
   
·
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,250 in your second Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Account 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 $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:

Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Account 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 $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:

·
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,487 in 2011. Also assume that you remain alive and continue to take annual withdrawals of $5,487 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 Account 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.

(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

Assume that on January 2, 2010 your Account Value is $118,000. Since you have passed your first Account 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 remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $6,195 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2030. Because the RGLB amount is now $0, the GLB Base also becomes $0.

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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.

Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, 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.
   
·
Assume that while you are in your fourth Account 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.

·
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,000 in your fifth Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $6,000 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 Account 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.

·
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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that on March 10, 2009 (in your third Account 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, 2009 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
   
·
Assume that while you are in your fourth Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $5,031 in your fifth Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $5,031 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 Account 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.

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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.

Therefore, on January 1, 2010, 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.
   
·
Assume that on January 2, 2010 your Account Value is $118,000. Since you have passed your first Account 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, 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 $15,000, your new accrued bonus amount is set equal to $0.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, 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.

Assume that while you are in your fifth Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fifth Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, 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:

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.
   
·
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,490 in your sixth Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $6,490 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2031. 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 Account 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.

·
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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your second Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your third Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2010, 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.
   
·
Assume that on January 2, 2010 your Account Value is $112,000. Since you have passed your first Account 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, 2020. 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fourth Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, 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.
   
·
Assume that while you are in your fifth Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you take no withdrawals in your fifth Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2012, 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.
   
·
Assume that you take a withdrawal equal to your Maximum WB for Life Amount of $6,310 in your sixth Account 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain alive and that you continue to make withdrawals of $6,310 until the RGLB amount runs out in year 2031. 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 Account 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.

·
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.
   
·
On March 31, 2007, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life Plus is taken is $101,196.79. The charge deducted on March 31, 2007 is $126.50 ($101,196.79 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on March 31, 2007 is $101,070.29 ($101,196.79 - $126.50).
   
·
On June 30, 2007, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life Plus is taken is $102,307.23. The fee deducted on June 30, 2007 is $127.88 ($102,307.23 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on June 30, 2007 is $102,179.35 ($102,307.23 - $127.88).
   
·
On September 30, 2007, your Account Value before the charge for Secured Returns for Life Plus is taken is $103,443.69. The fee deducted on September 30, 2007 is $129.30 ($103,443.69 x .00125). Therefore, your ending Account Value on September 30, 2007 is $103,314.39 ($103,443.69 - $129.30).
   
·
This pattern continues until the maturity date for your Benefit of January 1, 2017. 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, 2017, then no Secured Returns for Life Plus credit will be made to your Account.

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

·
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 Account Year. Therefore, on January 1, 2008, 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.
   
·
Assume that on January 1, 2008 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, 2018. 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.
   
·
Assume that you remain in the AB plan until it “matures” on January 1, 2018. 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, 2018 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).


 
 

 

APPENDIX K -
RETIREMENT INCOME ESCALATORSM

The optional living benefit known as Retirement Income Escalator (“RIE” or “the rider") was available for all Contracts purchased on or after May 5, 2008 and prior to October 20, 2008 and certain contracts purchased on or after October 20, 2008. The following information applies to your Contract if you elected to participate in RIE. RIE is no longer available for sale on new Contracts.

RIE provides an annual income guarantee for life. You can withdraw up to a guaranteed amount each year and, provided you meet certain requirements, we will continue to send you the guaranteed amount even if your Account Value should go to zero. 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 RIE, the larger the guaranteed annual income amount. To describe how 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 Account Anniversary after you attain age 59½.
   
Annual Withdrawal Amount:
The total guaranteed amount available for withdrawal each Account 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 “RIE Fee” (see “Cost of RIE”).
   
RIE Bonus Period:
A ten-year period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on your tenth Account 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 RIE”).
 
 
You and Your:
The terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant, as described under “Death of Participant Under RIE with Single-Life Coverage.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest annuitant.

Upon annuitization, RIE and any elected optional death benefit automatically terminate.

RIE allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount of money each year, beginning on your RIE Coverage Date, until the death of any Participant if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse if joint-life coverage is elected). Your right to take withdrawals under 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 an Account Year during your RIE Bonus Period, we will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base by an amount equal to 7% of your Bonus Base. The RIE Bonus Period is a 10-year period commencing on your Issue Date. The period will be extended for an additional 10 years commencing on each step-up of the Withdrawal Benefit Base (see “Step-Up Under RIE” in this Appendix), provided that the step up occurs prior to the conclusion of the current 10-year period.

If you are participating in RIE, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

To participate in RIE, all of your Account Value must be invested in a Designated Fund at all times during the term of RIE. (The “term” of RIE is for life, unless your Withdrawal Benefit Base is reduced to zero or your RIE is terminated or cancelled as described in this Appendix under “Cancellation of RIE,” “Depleting Your Account Value,” and “Annuitization Under RIE.”) See “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

Under 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 Participant Under RIE with Single-Life Coverage,” and “Death of Participant Under RIE with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

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:

·
decreased following any withdrawals you take prior to your RIE Coverage Date;
   
·
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;
   
·
increased by any applicable bonuses;
   
·
increased by any step-ups as described under “Step-Up Under RIE”; and
   
·
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” in this Appendix.

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 Account Anniversary and, at that time, will reflect any increases caused by a step-up or a bonus that took place during the prior Account Year and any decreases caused by excess withdrawals (described below) that were taken during the prior Account Year. The new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be in effect for all subsequent Account Years, unless and until there is a further change in your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

How RIE Works

Each Account 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 (other than as a result of an “early withdrawal” or an “excess withdrawal”), as long as your Withdrawal Benefit Base is greater than zero, you will receive your full Annual Withdrawal Amount every year until you die.

If you defer taking any withdrawals in an Account Year during the RIE Bonus Period, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be increased by an amount equal to 7% of your Bonus Base, thereby increasing your Annual Withdrawal Amount. In this way, if you defer taking withdrawals during your early Account Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in later Account Years. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is not, however, cumulative: any unused portion of your Annual Withdrawal Amount in any Account Year cannot be applied to a future year.

Note that the timing and amount of your withdrawals may significantly decrease, and even terminate, your total RIE Benefit, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value, as described further in this Appendix under “Withdrawals Under RIE.” Note also that investing in any Fund, other than a Designated Fund, will cancel RIE, as described in this Appendix under “Cancellation of RIE.”

Here is an example of how RIE works:

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 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 reached age 59½ prior to your Issue Date, your RIE Coverage Date is your Issue Date. You can begin at any time to withdraw up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. During the RIE Bonus Period, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 7% of your Bonus Base each Account Year in which you do not take a withdrawal. By deferring your withdrawals during a RIE Bonus Period you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base, which in turn may maximize your Annual Withdrawal Amount. After the RIE Bonus Period, you will still be eligible to take your Annual Withdrawal Amount each year and to step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base. However, you will no longer be eligible for the 7% bonus each year. (For convenience, assume that the investment performance on your underlying investments remains constant throughout the life of your Contract, except for Account Year 2.)
 
Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 by the beginning of Account 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 Account Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the step-up). All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

Assume you take your first withdrawal when you are age 66 in Account 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 Participant 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 Participant will take income in fewer years, but will be entitled to more income in those years.

The total lifetime payments to the Participant could be more or less depending upon investment performance over the life of the Contract and the age to which the Participant 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 Participant takes the Annual Withdrawal Amount each year beginning on the RIE Coverage Date.

Withdrawals Under 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 Account 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. These withdrawals are subject to withdrawal charges only to the extent they are in excess of the greatest of:

·
the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract (discussed under “Free Withdrawal Amount” under “Withdrawal Charge” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached);
   
·
your yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount (subject to conditions discussed under “Certain Tax Provisions” in this Appendix); and
   
·
your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

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. Because the withdrawals in the example do not exceed your free withdrawal amount permitted under this Contract, your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, or your Annual Withdrawal Amount, they are not subject to any withdrawal charges. If a withdrawal exceeds the greatest of these amounts, then the withdrawal would be subject to withdrawal charges.

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 formulas:

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

 
Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base =
B x
(
C
)
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 Account Year.

Using the facts of the above example, assume that in Account 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 or Withdrawal Benefit 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 $8,000 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 – (8,000 – 4,000)
           
   
=
125,000
x
115,000
         
117,000
           
   
=
125,000
x
0.98291
           
   
=
122,863
   
           
 
Your new Withdrawal
       
 
Benefit Base
=
160,000
x
121,000 – 6,000                   
         
121,000 – (8,000 – 4,000)
           
   
=
160,000
x
115,000
         
117,000
           
   
=
160,000
x
0.98291
           
   
=
157,265
   
           
Going forward, your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be reduced to 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base or $7,863.

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, and even terminate, your RIE Benefit, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

Withdrawals Prior to the RIE Coverage Date (Early Withdrawals)

Withdrawals taken prior to your RIE Coverage Date are subject to withdrawal charges, to the extent such withdrawals are in excess of the “free withdrawal amount” permitted under your Contract. In addition, all withdrawals taken prior to your RIE Coverage Date, including any “free withdrawal amounts,” 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 formulas:

 
Your new Bonus Base =
W x
(
Y
)
 
Z

 
Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base =
X x
(
Y
)
 
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 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 increase by 7% of your Bonus Base each year in which you do not take a withdrawal. Your RIE Coverage Date will not occur until your 15th Account Anniversary (the first Account Anniversary after you reach age 59½). Any withdrawals, including any “free withdrawal amount,” you take prior to that time will be “early withdrawals.”
 
Assume that because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 by the beginning of Account 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.
 
Assume that, in your Account Year 7, you withdraw $10,000. Because you are age 51 (and younger than age 59½), this is an early withdrawal. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will still be $0 because your have not reached your RIE Coverage Date.

You should be aware that early withdrawals could severely reduce, and even terminate, your RIE Benefit, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

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

Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an “excess withdrawal” or an “early withdrawal” (as described above), then your Withdrawal Benefit Base will also be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value. Therefore, your Contract, as well as any benefits available with 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 Funds, 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 RIE

If you elected RIE, we 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 Account Year is equal to 0.75% of the highest Withdrawal Benefit Base at any point in that Account Year, if you elected single-life coverage (0.95% for joint-life coverage).

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

·
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base and thus your RIE Fee.
   
·
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 Funds will not affect your RIE Fee during an Account Year. However, as explained in this Appendix under “Step-Up Under RIE,” favorable investment performance may cause the Withdrawal Benefit Base to increase on an Account 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 RIE” in this Appendix.

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 RIE

Regardless of your age on the Issue Date, on each Account 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:

·
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.)
   
·
Your Account Value must be greater than your current Withdrawal Benefit Base, adjusted for any 7% 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” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached)

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. Significant changes in stock market prices, interest rate fluctuations, and competitive industry trends are among the market conditions we consider in whether to change the fee.

·
If we have not had to increase the percentage as described above, the percentage we use to calculate your RIE fee will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base.
   
·
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 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 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 Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 by the beginning of Account 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. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

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 Account Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the step-up).

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you had the option of electing 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 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 RIE is in effect. Whereas single-life coverage provides annual withdrawals under RIE only until any Participant dies, joint-life coverage provides annual withdrawals under RIE for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. (Note, however, upon the death of a spouse, the Contract, (including RIE) ends. To take annual withdrawals under 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 Participant Under RIE with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

If you elected joint-life coverage, the RIE Coverage Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 59½ on the Issue Date, and will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 59½ if the younger spouse is less than age 59½ 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
59½ - 69
5%
70 - 79
6%
80 - or older
7%

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 a Participant 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, 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 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 RIE can be made and in light of the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

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

Cancellation of RIE

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege,” 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 benefits under RIE.

Death of Participant Under RIE with Single-Life Coverage

If you selected single-life coverage, RIE terminates on the death of any Participant 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 RIE is available to new Participants 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 Participant Under RIE with Joint-Life Coverage

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

If you purchased joint-life coverage and one of the Participants dies, 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 Participant;
   
·
the Withdrawal Benefit Base will remain unchanged until the next Account Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in Account Value (see “Step-Up Under RIE” in this Appendix);
   
·
if withdrawals under 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 RIE have already begun, the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will be the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage that applied to the Contract prior to the death of the Participant; and
   
·
the RIE Bonus Period will continue unchanged from the original contract.

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

If you purchased joint-life coverage and the deceased Participant’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 RIE

Under the terms of 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” in this Appendix.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as RIE. 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 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 Account 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 RIE” in this Appendix) Notice will be given to Contract Owners before we exercise this right.

For further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

 
 

 

APPENDIX L -
Income ON Demand®

The optional living benefit known as Income ON Demand (“Income ON Demand,” “Benefit,” or “the rider”) was available for all Contracts purchased on or after March 5, 2007 and prior to October 20, 2008 and certain contracts purchased on or after October 20, 2008. The following information applies to your Contract if you elected to participate in Income ON Demand. Income ON Demand is no longer available for sale on new Contracts.

To describe how Income ON Demand works, we use the following definitions:

Income ON Demand Coverage Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 55 at issue, otherwise the first Account Anniversary following your 55th birthday.
   
Annual Income Amount:
The amount added to your Stored Income Balance on each Account 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 “Income ON Demand Fee” (see “Cost of Income ON Demand”).
   
You and Your:
The terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant, as described under the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under Income ON Demand with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under Income ON Demand with Joint-Life Coverage.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest annuitant.

Upon annuitization, Income ON Demand and any elected optional death benefit automatically terminate.

Income ON Demand allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount each year, beginning at age 59½, until the death of any Participant if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse if joint-life coverage is elected), 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 withdrawn at any time in the future. The amount you can withdraw each year can be increased or decreased as described below under “Determining Your Stored Income Balance.”

In addition, if you make no withdrawals during the first 10 Account 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 Income ON Demand, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

You also have the option of choosing between single-life coverage and joint-life coverage. These options are described in greater detail in this Appendix under “Joint-Life Coverage” and the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under Income ON Demand with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under Income ON Demand with Joint-Life Coverage.”

To participate in Income ON Demand, all of your Account Value must be invested in a Designated Fund at all times during the term of Income ON Demand. (The term of Income ON Demand is for life, unless your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero or Income ON Demand is terminated or cancelled as described in this Appendix under “Cancellation of Income ON Demand,” “Depleting Your Account Value,” and “Annuitization Under Income ON Demand.”) See “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

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:

·
decreased following any withdrawals you take prior to becoming age 59½;
   
·
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;
   
·
increased by any step-ups as described under “Step-Up Under Income ON Demand” in this Appendix;
   
·
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 in this Appendix under “How Income ON Demand Works;” and
   
·
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:

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

How Income ON Demand Works

Under the terms of Income ON Demand, 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 (other than as a result of an “early withdrawal” or an “excess withdrawal”), as long as your Income Benefit Base is greater than zero, you will receive your full Annual Income Amount every year until you die. 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 (or, for joint-life coverage, the younger spouse is) 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, and even terminate, your total Income ON Demand Benefit, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value, as described further in this Appendix under “Withdrawals Under Income ON Demand “ and “Tenth-Year Credit.” Note also that investing in any Fund, other than a Designated Fund, will cancel Income ON Demand as described under “Cancellation of Income ON Demand” in this Appendix.

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, and
   
·
the withdrawal will not be subject to surrender charges.

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 Account Anniversary and the Account Anniversary following your 65th 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 Account 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 Account 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 Income ON Demand 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 Income ON Demand. 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 Account 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.

Assume instead that you decide to take a lump sum withdrawal of $50,000, thus depleting your Stored Income Balance. Your Income Benefit Base will remain at $100,000. 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 Income ON Demand

Withdrawals After Age 59½

Starting at age 59½, you may take annual withdrawals up to your Stored Income Balance without reducing your future Annual Income Amount. These withdrawals will reduce your Stored Income Balance by the full amount of the withdrawal, but will not change your Income Benefit Base. Withdrawals taken after you reach age 59½ are subject to withdrawal charges only to the extent they are in excess of the greatest of:

·
the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract,
   
·
your Stored Income Balance, or
   
·
your yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount (subject to conditions discussed in this Appendix under “Certain Tax Provisions”).

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 Account 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 Account 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, and even terminate, your benefits under Income ON Demand, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value. 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, including any “free withdrawal amounts,” 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.

In addition, withdrawals prior to age 59½ will also be subject to withdrawal charges, to the extent such withdrawals are in excess of the “free withdrawal amount” permitted under your Contract. Early withdrawals could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under Income ON Demand, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value. 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 50 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate in Income ON Demand. Your Income Benefit Base is set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date ($100,000), but benefits under Income ON Demand do not begin to accrue until the first Account Anniversary after your 55th 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 Account 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 benefits under Income ON Demand, any withdrawal before age 59½ could have adverse state and federal tax liabilities. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an “excess withdrawal” or an “early withdrawal” (as described above), then your Stored Income Balance and your Income Benefit Base will both be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value. Therefore, your Contract, as well as any benefits available with Income ON Demand, 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 Income ON Demand 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 Account Anniversary after your Account Value goes to zero and continue for as long as you live. If you elected joint-life coverage, the payments will continue until the death of both you and your spouse as described in this Appendix under “Death of Participant Under Income ON Demand with Joint-Life Coverage.” 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 in this Appendix under “How Income ON Demand Works,” or
   
(c)
using a combination of (a) and (b).

Because the Contract has ended, a lump sum withdrawal will not be subject to any withdrawal charges. You should be aware, however, that a lump sum withdrawal could be subject to state and federal income tax liability. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Cost of Income ON Demand

If you elected Income ON Demand, 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, if you elected single-life coverage (0.2125% for joint-life coverage). The maximum Income ON Demand Fee you can pay in any one Account Year is equal to 0.65% of the highest Income Benefit Base at any point in that Account Year, if you elected single-life coverage (0.85% for joint-life coverage).

Your Income ON Demand Fee will not change during an Account Year, unless you take one of the following specific actions:

·
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, you will increase your Income Benefit Base and thus your Income ON Demand Fee.
   
·
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.
   
·
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 an Account Year. However, as stated in this Appendix under “Step-Up Under Income ON Demand,” favorable investment performance may cause the Income Benefit Base to increase on an Account 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 Income ON Demand” in this Appendix.

Tenth-Year Credit

If you make no withdrawals during your first ten Account Years, on your tenth Account 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 Income ON Demand

Regardless of your age on the Issue Date, on each Account 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:

·
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.)
   
·
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. Significant changes in stock market prices, interest rate fluctuations, and competitive industry trends are among the market conditions we consider in whether to change the fee.

·
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.
   
·
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 Income ON Demand. 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 Income ON Demand 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.

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you had the option of electing Income ON Demand with single-life coverage or, for a higher Income ON Demand 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 Income ON Demand 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 Income ON Demand is in effect. Whereas single-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount only until any Participant dies, joint-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. Note that, for joint-life coverage to continue after the death of any Participant, the surviving spouse must elect to continue the contract through the “Spousal Continuance” provision. See also “Death of Participant Under Income ON Demand with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

If you have elected joint-life coverage, the Income On Demand Coverage Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 55 on the Issue Date, and will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 55 if the younger spouse is less than age 55 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.) On the Income On Demand Coverage Date, your Annual Income Amount will be calculated and begin accumulating. If withdrawals of the Stored Income Balance are taken before the date the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 59½, the withdrawal will be considered an “early withdrawal,” and the Income Benefit Base will be reduced.

The two spouses on the Issue Date are the only two people covered under the joint-life feature. If a Participant 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 Income ON Demand 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 Income ON Demand 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 possibly long waiting period before the benefit begins to store income and in light of the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

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

Cancellation of Income ON Demand

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege,” Income ON Demand 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 Income ON Demand.

Death of Participant Under Income ON Demand with Single-Life Coverage

If you selected single-life coverage, Income ON Demand terminates on the death of any Participant 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 Rider on the original Contract (assuming that at the time of such election, Income ON Demand is available to new Participants 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.

Death of Participant Under Income ON Demand with Joint-Life Coverage

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

If you purchased joint-life coverage and one of the Participants dies, Income ON Demand 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 Stored Income Balance will remain unchanged;
   
·
the Income Benefit Base will remain unchanged until the next Account Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in Account Value (see “Step-Up Under Income ON Demand” in this Appendix);
   
·
on each Account Anniversary, the Annual Income Amount will be equal to the Income Benefit Base multiplied by 5%; and
   
·
the Income ON Demand fee for the joint-life coverage option will continue for the surviving spouse as it was immediately prior to the death of the Participant.

At the death of the surviving spouse, the Contract, including Income ON Demand, terminates.

If you purchased joint life coverage and the deceased Participant’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 Income ON Demand

Under the terms of Income ON Demand, 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 (or a joint-life annuity, if joint-life coverage was elected at issue and you are still eligible to receive it) 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” in this Appendix.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as Income ON Demand. When you elect to participate in Income ON Demand, you may withdraw annual amounts up to the Yearly RMD Amount without affecting your benefits under Income ON Demand, 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 Income ON Demand as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract’s Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in Income ON Demand, 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 Account 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 Income ON Demand”), 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.

For further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the Prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.


 
 

 

APPENDIX M -
Income ON Demand® II

The optional living benefit known as Income ON Demand II (“IOD II” or “the rider”) was available for Contracts purchased on or after October 20, 2008 and prior to February 17, 2009. The following information applies to your Contract if you elected to participate in IOD II. IOD II is no longer available for sale on new Contracts.

To describe how IOD II works, we use the following definitions:

Annual Income Amount:
The amount added to your Stored Income Balance on each Account Anniversary during your Stored Income Period. It is equal to 5% of your Income Benefit Base on the date of crediting.
   
Early Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken prior to your First Withdrawal Date.
   
Excess Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken after your First Withdrawal Date that exceeds your Stored Income Balance (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater).
   
Fee Base:
The amount used to calculate your “IOD II Fee” (see “Cost of IOD II”).
   
First Withdrawal Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 59 at issue, otherwise the first Account Anniversary after you attain age 59.
   
Income Benefit Base:
The amount used to calculate your Annual Income Amount for IOD II.
   
Stored Income Balance:
The amount you may withdraw at any time after your First Withdrawal Date without reducing your benefits under IOD II.
   
Stored Income Period:
A period beginning on your Issue Date if you are at least age 50 at issue, otherwise the first Account Anniversary following your 50th birthday, ending on your Annuity Commencement Date.
   
You and Your:
The terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest living Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant, as described under the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under IOD II with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under IOD II with Joint-Life Coverage.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest living annuitant.

Upon annuitization, IOD II and any elected optional death benefit automatically terminate.

IOD II allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount each year, beginning after your First Withdrawal Date, until the death of any Participant if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse if joint-life coverage is elected), 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 Account Year will remain in the Stored Income Balance and can be withdrawn at any time in the future.

If you are participating in IOD II, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

To participate in IOD II, all of your Account Value must be invested only in Designated Funds at all times during the term of IOD II. (The term of IOD II is for life, unless your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero or your benefits under IOD II are terminated or cancelled as described in this Appendix under “Cancellation of IOD II,” “Depleting Your Account Value,” and “Annuitization Under IOD II.”) The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are shown in the section entitled “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

You also have the option of choosing between single-life coverage and joint-life coverage. These options are described in greater detail in this Appendix under “Joint-Life Coverage” and the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under IOD II with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under IOD II with Joint-Life Coverage.”

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:

·
increased on each Account Anniversary by any step-ups as described under “Step-Up Under IOD II” in this Appendix;
   
·
increased to the extent that 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 IOD II Works” in this Appendix;
   
·
increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date;
   
·
decreased following any Early Withdrawals you take, as described under “Early Withdrawals” in this Appendix; and
   
·
decreased following any Excess Withdrawals you take, as described under “Excess Withdrawals” in this Appendix.

Determining Your Stored Income Balance

At the beginning of the Stored Income Period, your Stored Income Balance will equal your Annual Income Amount (i.e., 5% of your Income Benefit Base on that Date). Thereafter, your Stored Income Balance is:

·
increased by 5% of any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date;
   
·
increased on each Account Anniversary by your Annual Income Amount determined on that Anniversary;
   
·
decreased by the amount of any withdrawals you take, on or after your First Withdrawal Date, up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance;
   
·
decreased to $0 if you take an Excess Withdrawal;
   
·
decreased in proportion to the change in your Account Value if you take an Early Withdrawal; and
   
·
decreased by the amount you use in exercising your one-time option to increase your Income Benefit Base (described under “How IOD II Works”).

How IOD II Works

Under the terms of IOD II, you can take withdrawals up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, subject to the terms and conditions discussed below. You can use all or a portion of your Stored Income Balance to effect a one-time increase of your Income Benefit Base prior to your Annuity Commencement Date. If your Account Value is 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, you will receive your full Annual Income Amount every year until you die.

Withdrawals from your Stored Income Balance can be taken at any time beginning on your First Withdrawal Date and prior to your Annuity Commencement Date without affecting your Income Benefit Base. If, beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, you make a withdrawal that does not exceed your Stored Income Balance:

·
your Stored Income Balance will be decreased by the amount withdrawn; and
   
·
the withdrawal will not be subject to withdrawal charges.

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. While your Contract is in force, you may exercise this option only once and you must do so prior to your Annuity Commencement Date. 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 your Stored Income Balance used will be added to your Income Benefit Base; and
   
·
your new Annual Income Amount on your next Account Anniversary will equal 5% of your new Income Benefit Base.

Here is an example of how IOD II works:

Assume that you are age 60 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume you elect to participate in IOD II with single-life coverage and investment performance of the Designated Funds is constant over the years. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) 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. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

During your fifth Account Year, you use the full amount of your Stored Income Balance ($25,000) to increase your Income Benefit Base. On your next Account Anniversary, your Income Benefit Base will be increased to $125,000 and your Annual Income Amount will be $6,250 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $6,250 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance unless your Annual Income Amount changes.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Assume instead that, during your fifth Account Year, you take a withdrawal of $25,000, thereby reducing your Stored Income Balance to $0. On your next Account Anniversary your Income Benefit Base will remain at $100,000 and 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 unless your Annual Income Amount changes.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Early Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals may significantly decrease, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value, as described further in this Appendix under “Withdrawals Under IOD II.” Even if your Stored Income Period has begun, withdrawals prior to your First Withdrawal Date are considered Early Withdrawals. Investing in any Fund, other than a Designated Fund, will cancel IOD II as described under “Cancellation of IOD II” in this Appendix.

Withdrawals Under IOD II

Withdrawals After Your First Withdrawal Date

Starting on your First Withdrawal Date and continuing to your Annuity Commencement Date you may take annual withdrawals up to your Stored Income Balance without reducing your future Annual Income Amount. These withdrawals will reduce your Stored Income Balance by the full amount of the withdrawal, but will not change your Income Benefit Base. This is shown in the example above.

Withdrawals taken after your First Withdrawal Date and during the withdrawal charge period permitted under your Contract are subject to withdrawal charges only to the extent they are in excess of the greatest of:

·
the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract;
   
·
your Stored Income Balance; or
   
·
your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount (subject to conditions discussed in this Appendix under “Certain Tax Provisions”).

Excess Withdrawals

If you take an Excess Withdrawal, your Income Benefit Base will be reduced according to the following formula:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV – SB

Where:
   
 
IBB =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
SB  =
Your Stored Income Balance (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater) immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.

Your Annual Income Amount will be recalculated based on the reduced Income Benefit Base. Here is an example of an Excess Withdrawal.

Using the same facts as the previous example, assume that in your fifth Account Year you take a withdrawal of $50,000, exceeding your Stored Income Balance. Assume that, due to poor investment performance during the fifth Account Year, your Account Value was $90,000 immediately prior to the withdrawal. Your Income Benefit Base will be reduced to $61,538 as shown below.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Your new Income Benefit Base
=
$100,000 x
(
$90,000 – $50,000
)
= $61,538
$90,000 – $25,000

Excess Withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

Early Withdrawals

All withdrawals taken before your First Withdrawal Date, including any “free withdrawal amounts” permitted under your Contract, will be considered Early Withdrawals and the Income Benefit Base and the Stored Income Balance will be reduced using the following formulas:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Your new Stored Income Balance =
SB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
IBB =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
SB  =
Your Stored Income Balance immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.

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

In addition, Early Withdrawals will also be subject to withdrawal charges, to the extent that such withdrawals are in excess of the “free withdrawal amount” permitted under your Contract. Early Withdrawals could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

In addition to reducing your benefits under IOD II, any withdrawal before age 59½ could have adverse state and federal tax liabilities. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal (as described above), then your Stored Income Balance and your Income Benefit Base will both be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value. Therefore, your Contract, as well as any benefits available with IOD II will end.

If 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 Withdrawals or Early Withdrawals, your Income Benefit Base will not be reduced. Your Contract will end. You will be entitled to receive annual payments equal to 5% of the amount of your Income Benefit Base. Prior to determining your annual payments, you may increase your Income Benefit Base by any remaining Stored Income Balance as described below. These payments will continue for as long as you live. If you elected joint-life coverage, the payments will continue as long as either you or your spouse are alive as described in this Appendix under “Death of Participant Under IOD II with Joint-Life Coverage.” 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)
withdrawing your remaining Stored Income Balance;
   
(b)
applying the remaining amount of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base (and thus the amount of your “annual lifetime payments”); or
   
(c)
using a combination of (a) and (b).

Because the Contract has ended, the amount of these annual lifetime payments will not change and they will not be subject to any withdrawal charges. You should be aware, however, that they could be subject to state and federal income tax liability. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Cost of IOD II

If you elected IOD II, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value (“IOD II Fee”). The IOD II Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter and will equal 0.1625 % of your Fee Base on that day, if you elected single-life coverage (0.2125% for joint-life coverage). On an annual basis, the IOD II Fee is equal to 0.65% of your Fee Base if you elected single-life coverage (0.85% for joint-life coverage). We reserve the right to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Fee on newly issued Contracts.

During the first Account Year, your Fee Base is equal to your Income Benefit Base. On each Account Anniversary, the Fee Base is recalculated. Your new Fee Base will be reset to equal your Income Benefit Base plus your Stored Income Balance (if any) less your Annual Income Amount for that year if this recalculated amount is higher than your current Fee Base. In the event that the recalculated amount is not greater than your current Fee Base, we will continue to calculate your IOD II Fee based upon your current Fee Base until, at least, your next Account Anniversary. Note that, although your IOD II Fee may increase, it will never decrease.
 
 
For the most part, we calculate your Fee Base only on your Account Anniversary. However, we will recalculate your Fee Base between Account Anniversaries, if you take an Early Withdrawal or Excess Withdrawal or make additional Purchase Payments during your first Account Year.

If you take an Excess Withdrawal during your Stored Income Period, your Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - SB

If you take an Early Withdrawal, your Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
Fee Base =
Your Fee Base immediately prior to the Early/Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Early/Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
SB =
Your Stored Income Balance (if any) immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AV =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early/Excess Withdrawal.

Any additional Purchase Payment you make during your first Account Year will increase your Income Benefit Base as described in this Appendix under “Determining Your Income Benefit Base.” Therefore, your Fee Base will increase by any additional Purchase Payments made.

Here is an example of how we calculate your Fee Base:

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 IOD II with single-life coverage and investment performance of the Designated Funds is constant over the years. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. At issue, your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). All values are shown as of the beginning of the Account Year unless otherwise stated.
 
During the Stored Income Period, the Fee Base is reset at the beginning of the Contract Year to equal your Income Benefit Base plus your Stored Income Balance less your Annual Income Amount, if that amount is greater than the previous Fee Base. For example, in Contract Year 4, the Fee Base is set equal to the Income Benefit Base ($100,000) plus the Stored Income Balance ($20,000) less your Annual Income Amount ($5,000) if that amount ($115,000) is greater than the previous Fee Base ($110,000).

Assume, instead, that in your fourth Account Year you take a $20,000 withdrawal. At the beginning of your fifth Account Year, your Income Benefit Base ($100,000) plus your Stored Income Balance ($5,000) less your Annual Income Amount ($5,000) is less than the current Fee Base ($115,000), so there is no change to the Fee Base, as shown below.

On each Account Anniversary thereafter, your Fee Base is recalculated and reset if necessary.

Your IOD II Fee will not change during an Account Year, unless you take one of the following specific actions:

·
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, you will increase your Fee Base and thus your IOD II Fee.
   
·
If you make an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal, you will decrease your Fee Base and thus your IOD II Fee.

In addition, on your Account Anniversary, the IOD II Fee may also change if we increase the percentage used to calculate the IOD II Fee as described below under “Step-Up Under IOD II.”

The investment performance of the Designated Funds will not affect your IOD II Fee during an Account Year. However, as stated below under “Step-Up Under IOD II,” favorable investment performance may cause the Income Benefit Base to increase on an Account Anniversary, and thus increase your IOD II Fee.

We will continue to deduct the IOD II Fee until you annuitize your Contract, your Account Value reduces to zero, or your benefits under IOD II are cancelled as described under “Cancellation of IOD II” in this Appendix.

Step-Up Under IOD II

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

·
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.)
   
·
Your highest quarter-end Account Value (adjusted for subsequent purchase payments and withdrawals) during the most recent Account Year (“Highest Quarterly Value”) minus your Stored Income Balance must be greater than your current Income Benefit Base. (If you have not yet reached your Stored Income Period and therefore do not yet have a Stored Income Balance, your highest quarter-end Account Value must only be greater than your current Income Benefit Base.)

Second, if you satisfy the eligibility requirements, we then consider whether market conditions have caused us to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Fee on newly issued Contracts. If we are no longer issuing Contracts with IOD II, then the percentage rate we use to calculate your IOD II Fee will be set based upon current market conditions at that time. Significant changes in stock market prices, interest rate fluctuations, and competitive industry trends are among the market conditions we consider in whether to change the fee.

·
If we have not had to increase the percentage rate as described above, the percentage rate we use to calculate your IOD II Fee will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Income Benefit Base.
   
·
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 IOD II Fee and step-up your Income 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 of your Income Benefit Base 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, we will increase your Income Benefit Base to an amount equal to the highest adjusted quarterly Account Value less your Stored Income Balance, if such amount exceeds your current Income Benefit Base. After the step-up, your Annual Income Amount will be 5% of your new Income Benefit Base.

Here are examples of how step-up works under a few different circumstances:

Assume that you are 60 years old when you purchase a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and that you elect to participate in IOD II with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Your initial Stored Income Balance is $5,000.
 
In each of the four examples, Account Values shown are as of the last day of each Account Quarter. Adjustments are made on the day a Purchase Payment or withdrawal is made.
 
The Account Values on each of your four Account Quarters are $113,000, $108,000, $90,000, and $103,000, respectively. No additional Purchase Payments are made and no withdrawals are taken, so no adjustments to these values are necessary. Your Stored Income Balance at the end of the fourth Account Quarter is $5,000. The highest adjusted quarterly value is $113,000. Your new Income Benefit Base is set to equal $108,000 ($113,000 - $5,000) since that amount exceeds your previous Income Benefit Base.

If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, your Account Value and your Income Benefit Base are each immediately increased by the amount of the additional Purchase Payment. Your Stored Income Balance is increased by 5% of the additional Purchase Payment.

Assume instead you take a $40,000 withdrawal in the second Account Quarter at a point when the Account Value equaled $99,000 immediately before the withdrawal. Since this withdrawal exceeds your Stored Income Balance, it is considered an Excess Withdrawal. The Excess Withdrawal reduces your Income Benefit Base as described in this Appendix under “Excess Withdrawals.” All previous quarter-end Account Values are first reduced by the amount of the Stored Income Balance and then adjusted in the same proportion that the Income Benefit Base was adjusted after the Excess Withdrawal.

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you have the option of electing IOD II with single-life coverage or, for a higher IOD II 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 primary beneficiary on the Issue Date and remains the sole primary beneficiary while IOD II 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 IOD II is in effect. Whereas single-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount only until any Participant dies, joint-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. Note that, for joint-life coverage to continue after the death of any Participant, the surviving spouse must elect to continue the contract through the “Spousal Continuance” provision. See also “Death of Participant Under IOD II with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

If you have elected joint-life coverage, the Stored Income Period will begin on your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 50 on the Issue Date. Otherwise it will begin on the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 50. (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.) The First Withdrawal Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 59 at issue. Otherwise it will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 59.

The two spouses on the Issue Date are the only two people covered under the joint-life feature. If a Participant 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, your benefits under IOD II 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. The percentage rate of the fee will not be reduced 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 possibly long waiting period before the benefit begins to store income and in light of the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

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

Cancellation of IOD II

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege,” IOD II 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.

IOD II will also be cancelled for any of the following:

·
upon a termination of the Contract;
·
upon annuitization*; or
·
your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero as a result of Early or Excess Withdrawals.

*Note that the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date permitted under this Contract is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. See “Selection of Annuity Commencement Date” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

A change in ownership may also cancel your benefits under IOD II.

Death of Participant Under IOD II with Single-Life Coverage

If you elected single-life coverage, IOD II terminates on the death of any Participant 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 primary Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your spouse has the additional option of electing to participate in a new IOD II Rider on the original Contract (assuming your surviving spouse meets certain eligibility requirements). If your surviving spouse makes such election, all of the following occur:

·
the new Account Value will be the greater of the Stored Income Balance on the original Contract or the Death Benefit;
   
·
the new percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Fee will be set by us based on market conditions at the time and may be higher than the current percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II 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.

Death of Participant Under IOD II with Joint-Life Coverage

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

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

·
the new Account Value will be equal to the Death Benefit;
   
·
the Stored Income Balance will remain unchanged;
   
·
the Income Benefit Base will remain unchanged until the next Account Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in the Account Value (see “Step-Up Under IOD II”);
   
·
on each Account Anniversary, the Annual Income Amount will be equal to the Income Benefit Base multiplied by 5%; and
   
·
the percentage rate of the IOD II Fee for the joint-life coverage option will continue for the surviving spouse as it was immediately prior to the death of the Participant.

At the death of the surviving spouse, the Contract, including IOD II, terminates.

If you purchased joint-life coverage and the deceased Participant’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 IOD II

Under the terms of IOD II, 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 Annuity Options available on that date; 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 (or a joint-life annuity, if joint-life coverage was elected at issue and you are still eligible to receive it) 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” in this Appendix.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as IOD II. When you elect to participate in IOD II, you may withdraw annual amounts up to the Yearly RMD Amount without affecting your 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 IOD II as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract’s Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in IOD II, 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 Account Year, more than one calendar year’s Yearly RMD Amount.

Currently, any withdrawal in excess of the Annual Income Amount or Stored Income Balance that is taken to satisfy the Yearly RMD Amounts will not be treated as an Excess Withdrawal, and will not reduce the Income Benefit Base. However, if there is any material change to the current Code or IRS Rules governing the timing or determination of required minimum distribution amounts, then the Company reserves the right to treat any withdrawal greater than the Annual Income Amount or Stored Income Balance as an Excess Withdrawal which may significantly reduce the Income Benefit Base.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.


 
 

 

APPENDIX N -
Income ON Demand® II Plus

The optional living benefit known as Income ON Demand II Plus (“IOD II Plus” or “the rider”) was available for Contracts purchased on or after October 20, 2008 and prior to February 17, 2009. The following information applies to your Contract if you elected to participate in IOD II Plus. IOD II Plus is no longer available for sale on new Contracts.

Income ON Demand II Plus provides an annual income guarantee for life. In early years, you can increase your guarantee if you defer withdrawals. In later years, you can store the annual guarantee amounts not withdrawn. To describe how IOD II Plus works, we use the following definitions:

Annual Income Amount:
An amount equal to your current Income Benefit Base multiplied by 5%, calculated on each Account Anniversary.
   
Early Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken prior to your First Withdrawal Date.
   
Excess Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken after your First Withdrawal Date that (a) when added to all prior withdrawals taken in that Account Year, exceeds the Annual Income Amount (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater) while in the IOD II Plus Bonus Period or (b) exceeds your Stored Income Balance (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater) while in the Stored Income Period.
   
Fee Base:
The amount used to calculate your “IOD II Plus Fee” (see “Cost of IOD II Plus”).
   
First Withdrawal Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 59 at issue, otherwise the first Account Anniversary after you attain age 59.
   
Income Benefit Base:
The amount used to calculate your Annual Income Amount for IOD II Plus.
   
IOD II Plus Bonus Base:
The amount on which bonuses are calculated. The IOD II Plus Bonus Base is equal to the sum of your Purchase Payments, increased by any “step-ups” (described below) and reduced for any Early Withdrawals or any Excess Withdrawals.
   
IOD II Plus Bonus Period:
A ten-year period commencing on the Issue Date. If you “step-up” IOD II Plus,(described below) during the IOD II Plus Bonus Period, the IOD II Plus Bonus Period is extended to ten years from the date of the step-up.
   
Stored Income Balance:
The amount you may withdraw at any time during your Stored Income Period and after your First Withdrawal Date without reducing your benefits under IOD II Plus.
   
Stored Income Period:
A period beginning on the latest of your first Account Anniversary, the end of your IOD II Plus Bonus Period, or the first Account Anniversary following your 50th birthday, and ending on your Annuity Commencement Date.
   
You and Your:
The terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest living Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant, as described under the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under IOD II Plus with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under IOD II Plus with Joint-Life Coverage.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest living annuitant.

Upon annuitization, IOD II Plus and any elected optional death benefit automatically terminate.

IOD II Plus allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount each year, beginning after your First Withdrawal Date, until the death of any Participant if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse if joint-life coverage is elected), 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. If you make no withdrawals (including Required Minimum Distribution Amounts) in an Account Year during your IOD II Plus Bonus Period, we will increase your Income Benefit Base by an amount equal to 7% of your IOD II Plus Bonus Base.

You may choose to end the current Bonus Period at anytime as long as you are at least age 50. The Stored Income Period will begin on the first Account Anniversary following your election. You can elect to end the Bonus Period by notifying us by written request, mailed to our Annuity Mailing Address, which is set forth at the beginning of this Prospectus.

After your IOD II Plus Bonus Period ends and your Stored Income Period begins, we will not increase your Income Benefit Base by an amount equal to 7% of your IOD II Plus Bonus Base. Instead, your Annual Income Amount will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance.

If you are participating in IOD II Plus, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

To participate in IOD II Plus, all of your Account Value must be invested only in Designated Funds at all times during the term of IOD II Plus. (The term of IOD II Plus is for life, unless your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero or your benefits under IOD II Plus are terminated or cancelled as described in this Appendix under “Cancellation of IOD II Plus,” “Depleting Your Account Value,” and “Annuitization Under IOD II Plus.”) The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are as shown in the section entitled “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

You also have the option of choosing between single-life coverage and joint-life coverage. These options are described in greater detail in this Appendix under “Joint-Life Coverage” and the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under IOD II Plus with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under IOD II Plus with Joint-Life Coverage.”

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:

·
increased on each Account Anniversary by any applicable bonus amount during the IOD II Plus Bonus Period;
   
·
increased on each Account Anniversary by any step-ups as described under “Step-Up Under IOD II Plus” in this Appendix;
   
·
increased to the extent that 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 IOD II Plus Works” in this Appendix;
   
·
increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date;
   
·
decreased following any Early Withdrawals you take, as described under “Early Withdrawals” in this Appendix; and
   
·
decreased following any Excess Withdrawals you take, as described under “Excess Withdrawals” in this Appendix.

Determining Your Stored Income Balance

At the beginning of the Stored Income Period, your Stored Income Balance will equal your Annual Income Amount (i.e., 5% of your Income Benefit Base on that Date). Thereafter, your Stored Income Balance is:

·
increased on each Account Anniversary by your Annual Income Amount determined on that Anniversary;
   
·
decreased by the amount of any withdrawals you take, on or after your First Withdrawal Date, up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance;
   
·
decreased to $0 if you take an Excess Withdrawal;
   
·
decreased in proportion to the change in your Account Value if you take an Early Withdrawal; and
   
·
decreased by the amount you use in exercising your one-time option to increase your Income Benefit Base (described below under “How IOD II Plus Works”).

How IOD II Plus Works

During the IOD II Plus Bonus Period

During the IOD II Plus Bonus Period, in each year that you do not take a withdrawal, your Income Benefit Base will be increased by an amount equal to 7% of your IOD II Plus Bonus Base. However, if this amount is less than the amount you will receive under a step-up, the Income Benefit Base will instead be increased by the step-up amount, unless there is a fee increase as described under “Step-Up Under IOD II Plus.” In the case of a fee increase, we will notify you in writing, in advance of your Contract Anniversary, and seek your written consent to the step-up and fee increase. If you do take a withdrawal, you are still eligible for step-up. (See “Step-Up under IOD II Plus” in this Appendix.) In this way, if you defer taking withdrawals during your early Account Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in later Account Years. Your Annual Income Amount, during this period, is not cumulative. Any unused portion of your Annual Income Amount in any Account Year, during the IOD II Plus Bonus Period cannot be applied to a future year.

During each Account Year, beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, you can take withdrawals totaling up to the amount of your Annual Income Amount, subject to the terms and conditions discussed below. Even if your Account Value is reduced to zero (other than as a result of an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal), as long as your Income Benefit Base is greater than zero, you will receive your full Annual Income Amount every year until you die.

During the Stored Income Period

During the Stored Income Period on each Account Anniversary, your Annual Income Amount is added to your Stored Income Balance. You can take withdrawals up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, subject to the terms and conditions discussed below. You can use all or a portion of your Stored Income Balance to effect a one-time increase of your Income Benefit Base prior to your Annuity Commencement Date. If your Account Value is 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, you will receive your full Annual Income Amount every year until you die.

Withdrawals from your Stored Income Balance can be taken at any time beginning on your First Withdrawal Date and prior to your Annuity Commencement Date without affecting your Income Benefit Base. If, beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, you make a withdrawal that does not exceed your Stored Income Balance:

·
your Stored Income Balance will be decreased by the amount withdrawn; and
   
·
the withdrawal will not be subject to withdrawal charges.

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. While your Contract is in force, you may exercise this option only once and you must do so prior to your Annuity Commencement Date. 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 your Stored Income Balance used will be added to your Income Benefit Base; and
   
·
your new Annual Income Amount on your next Account Anniversary will equal 5% of your new Income Benefit Base.

Here is an example of how IOD II Plus works:

Assume that you are age 60 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume you elect to participate in IOD II Plus with single-life coverage and investment performance of the Designated Funds is constant over the years. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. You decide to remain in the IOD II Plus Bonus Period for two years. The IOD II Plus Bonus Base is $100,000 for year one and year two. The bonus amount is 7% of the IOD II Plus Bonus Base. You wait until your third Account Year before you begin your Stored Income Period. At issue, your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). All values are shown as of the beginning of the Account Year, except for the bonus which occurs at the end of the Account Year.

During your fifth Account Year, you use the full amount of your Stored Income Balance ($17,100) to increase your Income Benefit Base thereby reducing your Stored Income balance to $0. On your next Account Anniversary, your Income Benefit Base of $114,000 will be increased to $131,100 and your Annual Income Amount will be $6,555 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $6,555 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance unless your Annual Income Amount changes.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Assume instead that, during your fifth Account Year, you take a withdrawal of $17,100, thereby reducing your Stored Income Balance to $0. On your next Account Anniversary, your Income Benefit Base will remain at $114,000 and your Annual Income Amount remains at $5,700 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $5,700 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance unless your Annual Income Amount changes.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Early Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals may significantly decrease, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II Plus, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value, as described further under “Withdrawals Under IOD II Plus.” Even if your Stored Income Period has begun, withdrawals prior to your First Withdrawal Date are considered Early Withdrawals. Investing in any Fund, other than a Designated Fund, will cancel IOD II Plus as described under “Cancellation of IOD II Plus” in this Appendix.

Withdrawals Under IOD II Plus

Withdrawals After Your First Withdrawal Date

Your First Withdrawal Date may occur during either your IOD II Plus Bonus Period or your Stored Income Period. If your First Withdrawal Date occurs during the IOD II Plus Bonus Period, you may take withdrawals up to your Annual Income Amount each year without reducing your future Annual Income Amount. Each withdrawal will reduce your Annual Income Amount for that year by the full amount of that withdrawal. You will not be eligible for a 7% bonus during any Account Year in which you have taken a withdrawal. If your First Withdrawal Date occurs during your Stored Income Period, withdrawals, up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance, will reduce your Stored Income Balance by the full amount of the withdrawal, but will not change your Income Benefit Base. This is shown in the example above.

Withdrawals taken after your First Withdrawal Date and during the withdrawal charge period permitted under your Contract are subject to withdrawal charges only to the extent they are in excess of the greatest of:

·
the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract;
   
·
either your Annual Income Amount (during the IOD II Plus Bonus Period) or your Stored Income Balance (during the Stored Income Period); or
   
·
your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount (subject to conditions discussed in this Appendix under “Certain Tax Provisions”).

Excess Withdrawals

An Excess Withdrawal can occur during the IOD II Plus Bonus Period or the Stored Income Period. During the IOD II Plus Bonus Period, if you take an Excess Withdrawal, both your Income Benefit Base and your IOD II Plus Bonus Base will be reduced according to the following formulas:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV – AIA

Your new IOD II Plus Bonus Base =
BB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV – AIA

Where:
   
 
IBB  =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
BB  =
Your IOD II Plus Bonus Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AIA =
Your remaining Annual Income Amount immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal minus any prior partial withdrawals taken during the current Account Year.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.

During the Stored Income Period, if you take an Excess Withdrawal, your Stored Income Balance will be reduced to zero. In addition, your Income Benefit Base will be reduced according to the following formula:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV – SB

Where:
   
 
IBB =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
SB  =
Your Stored Income Balance immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater).
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.

Your Annual Income Amount will be recalculated on your next Account Anniversary based on the reduced Income Benefit Base. Here is an example of an Excess Withdrawal.

Using the same facts as the previous example, assume that in your fifth Account Year you take a withdrawal of $50,000, exceeding your Stored Income Balance. Assume that due to poor investment performance during the fifth Account Year, your Account Value was $90,000 immediately prior to the withdrawal. Your Income Benefit Base will be reduced to $62,551 as shown below and your new Annual Income Amount will be 5% of your new Income Benefit base ($3,128). The Annual Withdrawal Amount of $3,128 will be added to your Stored Income Balance.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Your new Income Benefit Base

$114,000 x
(
$90,000 – $50,000
)
= $62,551
$90,000 – $17,100

Excess Withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II Plus, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.


 
 

 

Early Withdrawals

An Early Withdrawal can occur during the IOD II Plus Bonus Period or the Stored Income Period. Any withdrawals, including any “free withdrawal amounts,” taken before the First Withdrawal Date are Early Withdrawals. If an Early Withdrawal occurs during your IOD II Plus Bonus Period, your Annual Income Amount will be reduced by the full amount of the withdrawal. In addition, your IOD II Plus Bonus Base will be reduced according to the following formula:

Your new IOD II Plus Bonus Base =
BB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

If the Early Withdrawal occurs during the Stored Income Period, your Stored Income Balance will be reduced using the following formula:

Your new Stored Income Balance =
SB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

In either the IOD II Plus Bonus Period or Stored Income Period, your new Income Benefit Base will equal:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
IBB  =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
BB  =
Your IOD II Plus Bonus Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
SB  =
Your Stored Income Balance immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.

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

In addition, Early Withdrawals will also be subject to withdrawal charges, to the extent that such withdrawals are in excess of the “free withdrawal amount” permitted under your Contract. Early Withdrawals could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II Plus, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

In addition to reducing your benefits under IOD II Plus, any withdrawal before your First Withdrawal Date could have state and federal income tax liability. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal (as described above), then your Stored Income Balance (if any), your IOD II Plus Bonus Base (if any), and your Income Benefit Base will all be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value. Therefore, your Contract, as well as any benefits available with IOD II Plus, will end.

If 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 Withdrawals or Early Withdrawals, your Income Benefit Base will not be reduced. Your Contract will end, but you will be entitled to receive annual payments as follows.

If you were in the IOD II Plus Bonus Period on the day the Account Value was reduced to zero, regardless of your age, you will be entitled to receive annual amounts equal to 5% of your Income Benefit Base each year for as long as you live.

If you were in the Stored Income Period on the day the Account Value was reduced to zero, you will be entitled to receive annual amounts equal to 5% of your Income Benefit Base. Prior to determining your annual payments, you may increase your Income Benefit Base by any remaining Stored Income Balance as described below. These payments will continue for as long as you live. If you elected joint-life coverage, the payments will continue as long as either you or your spouse are alive as described in this Appendix under “Death of Participant Under IOD II Plus with Joint-Life Coverage.” 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)
withdrawing your remaining Stored Income Balance;
   
(b)
applying the remaining amount of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base (and thus the amount of your “annual lifetime payments”); or
   
(c)
using a combination of (a) and (b).

Because the Contract has ended, the amount of these annual lifetime payments will not change and they will not be subject to any withdrawal charges. You should be aware, however, that they could be subject to state and federal income tax liability. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.


 
 

 

Cost of IOD II Plus

If you elected IOD II Plus, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value (“IOD II Plus Fee”). The IOD II Plus Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter and will equal 0.2375 % of your Fee Base on that day, if you elected single-life coverage (0.2875% for joint-life coverage). On an annual basis, the IOD II Plus Fee is equal to 0.95% of your Fee Base if you elected single-life coverage (1.15% for joint-life coverage). We reserve the right to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Plus Fee on newly issued Contracts.

During the first Account Year, your Fee Base is equal to your Income Benefit Base. On each Account Anniversary, the Fee Base is recalculated. During the IOD II Plus Bonus Period, your new Fee Base will be reset to equal your Income Benefit Base, if your Income Benefit Base is higher than your current Fee Base. During the Stored Income Period, your new Fee Base will be reset to equal your Income Benefit Base plus your Stored Income Balance (if any) less your Annual Income Amount for that year if this recalculated amount is higher than your current Fee Base. In the event that the recalculated amount is not greater than your current Fee Base, we will continue to calculate your IOD II Plus Fee based upon your current Fee Base until, at least, your next Account Anniversary. Note that, although your IOD II Plus Fee may increase, it will never decrease.
 
 
For the most part, we calculate your Fee Base only on your Account Anniversary. However, we will recalculate your Fee Base between Account Anniversaries, if you take an Early Withdrawal or Excess Withdrawal or make additional Purchase Payments during your first Account Year.

If you take an Excess Withdrawal during your IOD II Plus Bonus Period, your Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - AIA

If you take an Excess Withdrawal during your Stored Income Period, your IOD II Plus Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - SB

If you take an Early Withdrawal, your IOD II Plus Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
Fee Base =
Your IOD II Plus Fee Base immediately prior to the Early/Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Early/Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
SB =
Your Stored Income Balance (if any) immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AIA =
Your Annual Income Amount immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal minus any prior partial withdrawals taken during the current Account Year.
     
 
AV =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early/Excess Withdrawal.

Any additional Purchase Payment you make during your first Account Year will increase your Income Benefit Base as described in this Appendix under “Determining Your Income Benefit Base.” Therefore, your Fee Base will increase by any additional Purchase Payments made.

Here is an example of how we calculate your Fee Base:

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 IOD II Plus with single-life coverage and investment performance of the Designated Funds is constant over the years. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment ($100,000) on your Issue Date. Your IOD II Plus Bonus Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment ($100,000). At issue, your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). You wait until your third Account Year before you elect to begin your Stored Income Period. During the IOD II Plus Bonus Period, in years that withdrawals are not taken, your Income Benefit Base increases by 7% of your IOD II Plus Bonus Base (assuming no step-up). At the beginning of your Stored Income Period, Year 3, your Annual Income Amount has increased to $5,700. All values are shown as of the beginning of the Account Year unless otherwise stated.
 
During the IOD II Plus Bonus Period (Account Years 1and 2), the Fee Base is set equal to your Income Benefit Base. During the Stored Income Period, the Fee Base is reset at the beginning of the Account Year to equal your Income Benefit Base plus your Stored Income Balance less your Annual Income Amount, if that amount is greater than the previous Fee Base. For example, in Account Year 4, the Fee Base is set equal to the Income Benefit Base ($114,000) plus the Stored Income Balance ($11,400) less your Annual Income Amount ($5,700) if that amount ($119,700) is greater than the previous Fee Base ($114,000).

Assume, instead, that in your fourth Account Year you take a $11,400 withdrawal. At the beginning of your fifth Account Year, your Income Benefit Base ($114,000) plus your Stored Income Balance ($0) less your Annual Income Amount ($5,700) is less than the current Fee Base ($119,700), so there is no change to the Fee Base as shown below. In Account Year 7, the Fee Base is reset. Your Income Benefit Base ($114,000) plus your Stored Income Balance ($17,100) less your Annual income Amount ($5,700), results in an amount of $125,400, an amount that is greater than the previous Fee Base ($119,700).

On each Account Anniversary thereafter, your Fee Base is recalculated and reset if necessary.

Your IOD II Plus Fee will not change during an Account Year, unless you take one of the following specific actions:

·
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, you will increase your Fee Base and thus your IOD II Plus Fee.
   
·
If you make an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal, you will decrease your Fee Base and thus your IOD II Plus Fee.

In addition, on your Account Anniversary, the IOD II Plus Fee may also change, if we increase the percentage used to calculate the IOD II Plus Fee as described below under “Step-Up Under IOD II Plus.”

The investment performance of the Designated Funds will not affect your IOD II Plus Fee during an Account Year. However, as stated below under “Step-Up Under IOD II Plus,” favorable investment performance may cause the Income Benefit Base to increase on an Account Anniversary, and thus increase your IOD II Plus Fee.

We will continue to deduct the IOD II Plus Fee until you annuitize your Contract, your Account Value reduces to zero, or your benefits under IOD II Plus are cancelled as described under “Cancellation of IOD II Plus” in this Appendix.

Step-Up Under IOD II Plus

You can step-up your Income Benefit Base and IOD II Plus Bonus Base each Account Anniversary prior to your Annuity Commencement Date, provided that you satisfy certain requirements. First, you must meet eligibility requirements:

·
Your Account Value less your Stored Income Balance (if any) 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.)
   
·
If your Contract is in the Stored Income Period, your highest quarter-end Account Value (adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals) during the most recent Account Year (“Highest Quarterly Value”) minus your Stored Income Balance must be greater than your current Income Benefit Base.
   
·
If your Contract has not started the Stored Income Period, your Highest Quarterly Value during the most recent Account Year must be greater than your current Income Benefit Base (adjusted for any applicable bonus if the Contract is in the IOD II Plus Bonus Period).

Second, if you satisfy the eligibility requirements, we then consider whether market conditions have caused us to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Plus Fee on newly issued Contracts. If we are no longer issuing Contracts with IOD II Plus, then the percentage rate we use to calculate your IOD II Plus Fee will be set based upon current market conditions at that time. Significant changes in stock market prices, interest rate fluctuations, and competitive industry trends are among the market conditions we consider in whether to change the fee.

·
If we have not had to increase the percentage rate as described above, the percentage rate we use to calculate your IOD II Plus Fee will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Income Benefit Base and your IOD II Plus Bonus Base (if applicable).
   
·
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 IOD II Plus Fee and step-up your Income 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 of your Income Benefit Base 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 prior to the Stored Income Period, we will increase your Income Benefit Base and your IOD II Plus Bonus Base each to an amount equal to the highest adjusted quarterly Account Value, if such amount exceeds your current Income Benefit Base (adjusted for any applicable bonus if the Contract is in the IOD II Plus Bonus Period). If the step-up occurred during the IOD II Plus Bonus Period, your IOD II Plus Bonus Period will be renewed for another 10-year period.

At the time of step-up during the Stored Income Period, we will increase your Income Benefit Base to an amount equal to the highest adjusted quarterly Account Value less your Stored Income Balance, if such amount exceeds your current Income Benefit Base. After the step-up, your Annual Income Amount will be 5% of your new Income Benefit Base.

Below are examples of how step-up works under a few different circumstances.

Assume that you are 60 years old when you purchase a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and that you elect to participate in IOD II Plus with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base and your IOD II Plus Bonus Base are equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). The example assumes you are in the IOD II Plus Bonus Period.
 
In each of the five examples, Account Values shown are as of the last day of each Account Quarter. Adjustments are made on the day a Purchase Payment or withdrawal is made.
 
The Account Values on each of your four Account Quarters are $113,000, $108,000, $90,000, and $103,000, respectively. No additional Purchase Payments are made and no withdrawals are taken, so no adjustments to these values are necessary. The highest adjusted quarterly value is $113,000. Both your new Income Benefit Base and IOD II Plus Bonus Base are set to equal $113,000 since that amount exceeds your previous Income Benefit Base increased by 7% of your IOD II Plus Bonus Base ($100,000 + $7,000).

If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, your Account Value, your Income Benefit Base, and your IOD II Plus Bonus Base are each immediately increased by the amount of the additional Purchase Payment.

Here is an example of how an additional Purchase Payment of $50,000 made in the second Account Quarter would affect your step-up and assumes that you are in the IOD II Plus Bonus Period:

Assume instead you take a $40,000 withdrawal in the second Account Quarter at a point when the Account Value equaled $99,000 immediately before the withdrawal. Since this withdrawal exceeds your Annual Income Amount, it is considered an Excess Withdrawal. The Excess Withdrawal reduces your Income Benefit Base and your IOD II Plus Bonus Base as described under “Excess Withdrawals” in this Appendix. All previous quarterly Account Values are first reduced by the amount of the Annual Income Amount less any prior withdrawals taken in that Account Year and then adjusted in the same proportion that the Income Benefit Base was adjusted after the Excess Withdrawal. (See the two-step calculation shown in the box below the following example.) The example assumes you are in the IOD II Plus Bonus Period.

Using the facts of the above example where no withdrawals or additional premiums have taken place, assume that for Account Year 2 you have elected to begin the Stored Income Period. As stated in the above example the Income Benefit Base is $113,000 beginning of Account Year 2. Your Annual Income Amount is $5,650 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Because you have elected to begin the Stored Income Period, your Stored Income Balance is initially equal to your Annual Income Amount ($5,650).
 
The Account Values on each of your four Account Quarters for Account Year 2 are $105,000, $111,000, $116,000, and $120,000, respectively. No additional Purchase Payments are made and no withdrawals are taken, so no adjustments to these values are necessary. The highest adjusted quarterly value is $120,000. Your new Income Benefit Base is set to equal $114,350 ($120,000 - $5,650) since that amount exceeds your previous Income Benefit Base.

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you have the option of electing IOD II Plus with single-life coverage or, for a higher IOD II Plus 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 primary beneficiary on the Issue Date and remains the sole primary beneficiary while IOD II Plus 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 IOD II Plus is in effect. Whereas single-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount only until any Participant dies, joint-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. Note that, for joint-life coverage to continue after the death of any Participant, the surviving spouse must elect to continue the contract through the “Spousal Continuance” provision. See also “Death of Participant Under IOD II Plus with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

If you have elected joint-life coverage, the IOD II Plus Bonus Period and the Stored Income Period are determined based on the age of the younger spouse if the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 50. (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.) On the first day of the Stored Income Period, your Annual Income Amount will be added to your Stored Income Balance. The First Withdrawal Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 59 at issue. Otherwise it will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 59.

The two spouses on the Issue Date are the only two people covered under the joint-life feature. If a Participant 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, your benefits under IOD II Plus 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. The percentage rate of the fee will not be reduced 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 possibly long waiting period before the benefit begins to store income and in light of the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

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

Cancellation of IOD II Plus

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege,” IOD II Plus 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.

IOD II Plus will also be cancelled for any of the following:

·
upon a termination of the Contract;
·
upon annuitization*; or
·
your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero as a result of Early or Excess Withdrawals.

*Note that the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date permitted under this Contract is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. See “Selection of Annuity Commencement Date” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

A change in ownership may also cancel your benefits under IOD II Plus.

Death of Participant Under IOD II Plus with Single-Life Coverage

If you elected single-life coverage, IOD II Plus terminates on the death of any Participant 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 any. If your surviving spouse is the sole primary Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your spouse has the additional option of electing to participate in a new IOD II Plus Rider on the original Contract (assuming your surviving spouse meets certain eligibility requirements). If your surviving spouse makes such election, all of the following occur:

·
the new Account Value will be the greater of the Stored Income Balance, if any, on the original Contract or the Death Benefit;
   
·
the new percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Plus Fee will be set by us based on market conditions at the time and may be higher than the current percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Plus Fee;
   
·
the new Income Benefit Base and your new IOD II Plus Bonus Base will each be equal to the Account Value after any Death Benefit has been credited; and
   
·
the new IOD II Plus Bonus Period begins.

Death of Participant Under IOD II Plus with Joint-Life Coverage

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

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

·
the new Account Value will be equal to the Death Benefit;
   
·
the Stored Income Balance, if any, will remain unchanged;
   
·
the Income Benefit Base and the IOD II Plus Bonus Base will remain unchanged until the next Account Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in the Account Value (see “Step-Up Under IOD II Plus” in this Appendix);
   
·
on each Account Anniversary, the Annual Income Amount will be equal to the Income Benefit Base multiplied by 5%; and
   
·
the percentage rate of the IOD II Plus Fee for the joint-life coverage option will continue for the surviving spouse as it was immediately prior to the death of the Participant.

At the death of the surviving spouse, the Contract, including IOD II Plus, terminates.

If you purchased joint-life coverage and the deceased Participant’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 IOD II Plus

Under the terms of IOD II Plus, if your Account Value is greater than zero on your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you may elect to:

(1)
surrender your Contract and receive the greater of your Cash Surrender Value or your Stored Income Balance, if any;
   
(2)
annuitize your Account Value under one of the Annuity Options available on that date; or
   
(3)
(a) receive the remaining Stored Income Balance, if any, in a single sum and (b) annuitize your remaining Account Value as a single-life annuity (or a joint-life annuity, if joint-life coverage was elected at issue and you are still eligible to receive it) 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” in this Appendix.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as IOD II Plus. When you elect to participate in IOD II Plus, you may withdraw annual amounts up to the Yearly RMD Amount without affecting your 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 IOD II Plus as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract’s Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in IOD II Plus, 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 Account Year, more than one calendar year’s Yearly RMD Amount.

Currently, any withdrawal in excess of the Annual Income Amount or Stored Income Balance that is taken to satisfy the Yearly RMD Amounts will not be treated as an Excess Withdrawal, and will not reduce the Income Benefit Base. However, if there is any material change to the current Code or IRS Rules governing the timing or determination of required minimum distribution amounts, then the Company reserves the right to treat any withdrawal greater than the Annual Income Amount or Stored Income Balance as an Excess Withdrawal which may significantly reduce the Income Benefit Base.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.


 
 

 

APPENDIX O -
RETIREMENT INCOME ESCALATORSM II

The optional living benefit known as Retirement Income Escalator II (“RIE II”) was available on Contracts purchased on or after October 20, 2008, and prior to August 17, 2009, and on certain limited Contracts purchased on or after August 17, 2009. If you elected to participate in RIE II, the following information applies to your Contract. RIE II is no longer available for sale on new Contracts.

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, and elected to participate in RIE II, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage (defined below) is different from the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage available on Contracts purchased on or after that date. (See “Determining Your Annual Withdrawal Amount,” “Step-Up Under RIE II,” and “Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.) In addition, unless you “step-up” as described under “Step-Up Under RIE II,” the fee charged for your RIE II is lower than the fee charged on Contracts purchased on or after February 17, 2009. (See “Cost of RIE II” in this Appendix.)

RIE II provides an annual income guarantee for life. You can withdraw up to a guaranteed amount each year and, provided you meet certain requirements, we will continue to send you the guaranteed amount even if your Account Value should go to zero. 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 RIE II, the larger the guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount. To describe how RIE II works, we use the following definitions:

Annual Withdrawal Amount:
The total guaranteed amount available for withdrawal each Account 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.)
   
Early Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken prior to your RIE II Coverage Date.
 
 
Excess Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken after your RIE II Coverage Date that exceeds your Annual Withdrawal Amount (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater).
   
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage:
The percentage used to calculate your Annual Withdrawal Amount.
   
RIE II Bonus Base:
The amount on which bonuses are calculated. The RIE II 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 II Coverage Date or any Excess Withdrawals (see “Excess Withdrawals” under “Withdrawals Under RIE II”).
   
RIE II Bonus Period:
A ten-year period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on your tenth Account Anniversary. If you “step up” RIE II (described below) during the RIE II Bonus Period, the RIE II Bonus Period is extended to ten years from the date of the step-up.
   
RIE II Coverage Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 59 at issue; otherwise, the first Account Anniversary after you attain age 59.
   
Withdrawal Benefit Base:
The amount used to calculate (1) your Annual Withdrawal Amount and (2) your “RIE II Fee” (see “Cost of RIE II”).
   
You and Your:
The terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest living Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant, as described under “Death of Participant Under RIE II with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under RIE II with Joint-Life Coverage.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest living annuitant.

Upon annuitization, RIE II and any elected optional death benefit automatically terminate.

RIE II allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount of money each year, beginning on your RIE II Coverage Date, until the death of any Participant if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse if joint-life coverage is elected). Your right to take withdrawals under RIE II continues regardless of the investment performance of the Designated Funds, provided that you comply with certain requirements. After your RIE II Coverage Date, the amount you can withdraw, in any one year, can be 4%, 5%, 6%, or 7% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base, depending upon your age (or the younger spouse’s age in case of joint-life coverage) on the date of your first withdrawal.

In addition, if you make no withdrawals in an Account Year during your RIE II Bonus Period, we will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base by an amount equal to 7% of your RIE II Bonus Base. The RIE II Bonus Period is a 10-year period commencing on your Issue Date. The period will be extended for an additional 10 years commencing on each step-up of the Withdrawal Benefit Base (see “Step-Up Under RIE II” in this Appendix), provided that the step-up occurs during the RIE II Bonus Period.

If you are participating in RIE II, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

To participate in RIE II, all of your Account Value must be invested in one or more of the Designated Funds at all times during the term of RIE II. (The “term” of RIE II is for life, unless your Withdrawal Benefit Base is reduced to zero or RIE II is terminated or cancelled as described under “Cancellation of RIE II,” “Depleting Your Account Value,” and “Annuitization Under RIE II” in this Appendix.) The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are listed in the section entitled “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

Under RIE II, 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 Participant Under RIE II with Single-Life Coverage,” and “Death of Participant Under RIE II with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

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:

·
increased by any applicable bonuses;
   
·
increased by any step-ups as described under “Step-Up Under RIE II” in this Appendix;
   
·
increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date.
   
·
decreased following any Early Withdrawals you take as described under “Early Withdrawals” in this Appendix; and
   
·
decreased following any Excess Withdrawals you take as described under “Excess Withdrawals” in this Appendix.

Determining Your Annual Withdrawal Amount

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is first determined when you make your first withdrawal after your RIE II Coverage Date and then on each subsequent Account Anniversary. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is equal to your Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage depends upon your age at the time you make your first withdrawal after your RIE II Coverage Date as shown in the tables below. If you purchased your Contract on or after February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is determined, as follows:

Your Age on the Date of the
First Withdrawal After
Your RIE II Coverage Date*
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
59 - 64
4%
65 - 74
5%
75 - 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” in this Appendix.

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is determined, as follows:

Your Age on the Date of the
First Withdrawal After
Your RIE II Coverage Date*
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
59 - 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” in this Appendix.

Your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will only increase if your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown in the tables above. (See “Step-Up Under RIE II” in this Appendix.) An increase in the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will increase your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount equals your Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. 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 Account Anniversary and, at that time, will reflect any increases caused by a step-up or a bonus that took place during the prior Account Year and any decreases caused by Excess Withdrawals (described below) that were taken during the prior Account Year. The new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be in effect for all subsequent Account Years, unless and until there is a further change in your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

How RIE II Works

Each Account Year, beginning on your RIE II 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  (other than as a result of an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal), as long as your Withdrawal Benefit Base is greater than zero, you will receive your full Annual Withdrawal Amount every year until you die.

If you defer taking any withdrawals in an Account Year during the RIE II Bonus Period, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be increased by an amount equal to 7% of your RIE II Bonus Base. However, if this amount is less than the amount you will receive under a step-up, the Withdrawal Benefit Base will instead be increased by the step-up amount, unless there is a fee increase as described under “Step-Up Under RIE II.” In the case of a fee increase, we will notify you in writing, in advance of your Contract Anniversary, and seek your written consent to the step-up and fee increase. If you do take a withdrawal, you are still eligible for step-up. (See “Step-Up under RIE II” in this Appendix.) In this way, if you defer taking withdrawals during your early Account Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in later Account Years. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is not, however, cumulative: any unused portion of your Annual Withdrawal Amount in any Account Year cannot be applied to a future year.

Note that the timing and amount of your withdrawals may significantly decrease, and even terminate, your total benefits under RIE II, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value, as described further under “Withdrawals Under RIE II” in this Appendix. Note also that investing in any Fund, other than a Designated Fund, will cancel RIE II, as described under “Cancellation of RIE II” in this Appendix.

Here is an example of how RIE II works. This example assumes that your Contract was purchased on or after February 17, 2009.

Assume that you are age 65 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate in RIE II 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 RIE II Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Because you reached age 59 prior to your Issue Date, your RIE II Coverage Date is your Issue Date. You can begin at any time to withdraw up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. During the RIE II Bonus Period, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 7% of your RIE II Bonus Base each Account Year in which you do not take a withdrawal. By deferring your withdrawals during a RIE II Bonus Period you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base, which in turn may maximize your Annual Withdrawal Amount. After the RIE II Bonus Period, you will still be eligible to take your Annual Withdrawal Amount each year and to step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base. However, you will no longer be eligible for the 7% bonus each year. (For convenience, assume that the investment performance on your underlying investments remains constant throughout the life of your Contract, except for Account Year 2.)
 
Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 on your second Account Anniversary. Your Contract is, therefore, eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and RIE II Bonus Base. Assume that we have not increased the percentage used to calculate the RIE II Fee on newly issued Contracts; therefore we will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your RIE II 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 RIE II Bonus Base will be $125,000, unless increased by another step-up or reduced by an Excess Withdrawal, and your RIE II Bonus Period will now end on your 12th Account Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the step-up). All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

Assume you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71 in Account Year 7. Using the chart on the previous page, we set your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage at 5%. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be equal to 5% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base. You can begin withdrawing up to $8,000 each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base, as shown in the following table:

Assume in Account Year 9, you defer taking a withdrawal. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by $8,750 which is 7% of your RIE II Bonus Base ($125,000). Your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to $8,438, which is 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base ($168,750), as shown below:

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 Participant over the life of the annuity. Generally speaking, not taking income in a year will increase the Annual Withdrawal Amount during the RIE II Bonus Period due to the bonus and the potential for step-ups. In this way, if you defer taking withdrawals during your early Account Years, you will be able to take larger withdrawals in later Account Years. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is not, however, cumulative: any unused portion of your Annual Withdrawal Amount in any Account Year cannot be applied to a future year.

The total lifetime payments to the Participant could be more or less depending upon investment performance over the life of the Contract and the age to which the Participant 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.

Withdrawals Under RIE II

Withdrawals After the RIE II Coverage Date

Starting on your RIE II Coverage Date and continuing to your Annuity Commencement Date, you may take withdrawals totaling up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Account 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. These withdrawals are subject to withdrawal charges only to the extent they are in excess of the greatest of:

·
the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract (discussed under “Free Withdrawal Amount” under “Withdrawal Charge” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached);
   
·
your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount (subject to conditions discussed under “Certain Tax Provisions” in this Appendix); and
   
·
your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

The previous example shows withdrawals taken after your RIE II Coverage Date. Because they do not exceed your Annual Withdrawal Amount (or your Required Minimum Distribution amount, if higher), the withdrawals do not reduce your Withdrawal Benefit Base or your Annual Withdrawal Amount. The withdrawals in the above example are not subject to any withdrawal charges because they do not exceed any of the following:

·
your free withdrawal amount permitted under this Contract,
·
your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, or
·
your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

If a withdrawal exceeds the greatest of these amounts, then the withdrawal would be subject to withdrawal charges.

Excess Withdrawals

If you take an Excess Withdrawal, your RIE II Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced according to the following formulas:

Your new RIE II Bonus Base =
BB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - AWA

Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base =
WBB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - AWA

Where:
   
 
BB =
Your RIE II Bonus Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WBB =
Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AV =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AWA =
Your Annual Withdrawal Amount minus any prior partial withdrawals taken during the current Account Year.

Using the facts of the above example, assume that in Account 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 RIE II Bonus Base or Withdrawal Benefit 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 $8,000 Annual Withdrawal Amount. After your second withdrawal, your RIE II Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced as follows:
           
 
Your new RIE II Bonus Base
=
$125,000
x
$121,000 – $6,000                   
         
$121,000 – ($8,000 – $4,000)
           
   
=
$125,000
x
$115,000
         
$117,000
           
   
=
$125,000
x
0.98291
           
   
=
$122,863
   
           
 
Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base
=
$160,000
x
$121,000 – $6,000                   
         
$121,000 – ($8,000 – $4,000)
           
   
=
$160,000
x
$115,000
         
$117,000
           
   
=
$160,000
x
0.98291
           
   
=
$157,265
   
           
Beginning on your Account Anniversary and going forward, your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be reduced to 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $7,863.

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 RIE II Bonus 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, and even terminate, your benefits under RIE II, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

Early Withdrawals

All withdrawals taken before your RIE II Coverage Date, including any “free withdrawal amounts” permitted under your Contract, will be considered Early Withdrawals and your RIE II Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced using the following formulas:

Your new RIE II Bonus Base
=
BB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV

Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base
=
WBB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
BB  =
Your RIE II Bonus Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
WBB  =
Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
WD  =
The amount of the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
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 RIE II 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 RIE II Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 7% of your RIE II Bonus Base each year in which you do not take a withdrawal. Your RIE II Coverage Date will not occur until your 15th Account Anniversary (the first Account Anniversary after you reach age 59). Any withdrawals you take prior to that time will be Early Withdrawals.
 
Assume that because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 on your second Account Anniversary. Your Contract is therefore eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and RIE II Bonus Base. Assume that we have not increased the percentage used to calculate the RIE II Fee on newly issued Contracts; therefore we will step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your RIE II Bonus Base to $125,000.
 
Assume that, in your Account Year 7, you withdraw $10,000. Because you are age 51 (and younger than age 59), this is an Early Withdrawal. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

$125,000 – $10,000

=
$160,000
x
0.92000
           
   
=
$147,200
   
           
Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will still be $0 because you have not reached your RIE II Coverage Date.

You should be aware that Early Withdrawals could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under RIE II, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

In addition to reducing your benefits under RIE II, any withdrawal before you reach age 59½ could have adverse state and federal tax liabilities. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Excess Withdrawal or an Early Withdrawal, then your Withdrawal Benefit Base and the RIE II Bonus Base will both be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value. Therefore, your Contract, as well as any benefits available with RIE II, 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 Withdrawals or Early Withdrawals, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will not be reduced. Your Contract will end, but your right to receive an annual withdrawal amount 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 RIE II

If you elect RIE II, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value (“RIE II Fee”). The RIE II Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter. The RIE II Fee will be a percentage of your Withdrawal Benefit Base. This percentage will equal 0.2375% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base on the last day of the Account Quarter if you elected single-life coverage (0.2875% for joint-life coverage). The maximum RIE II Fee you can pay in any one Account Year is equal to 0.95% of the highest Withdrawal Benefit Base at any point in that Account Year if you elected single-life coverage (1.15% for joint-life coverage).

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your cost for RIE II was initially, on an annual basis, 0.80% of the highest Withdrawal Benefit Base for single-life coverage (1.00% for joint-life coverage). Your cost for RIE II will not increase unless:

·
you decide to step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base, as described below under “Step-Up Under RIE II,” and
   
·
you consent in writing, at the time of step-up, to accept an increase in your RIE II Fee to 0.95% for single-life coverage (1.15% for joint-life coverage).

If you do not consent to the higher fee, the step-up will not be implemented and all subsequent step-ups will be suspended unless and until we receive your written consent to the higher fee.

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

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

However, on each Account Anniversary, we determine whether favorable investment performance of the Designated Funds may cause the Withdrawal Benefit Base to increase as described below under “Step-Up Under RIE II.” If your Withdrawal Benefit Base increases because of favorable investment performance, your RIE II fee will also increase because it is recalculated on each Account Anniversary based upon your highest Withdrawal Benefit Base during that Account Year.

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

Step-Up Under RIE II

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

·
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.)
   
·
Your highest quarter-end Account Value (adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and withdrawals) during the most recent Account Year (“Highest Quarterly Value”) must be greater than your current Withdrawal Benefit Base (adjusted for any applicable 7% bonus increases).

Second, if you satisfy the eligibility requirements, we then consider whether market conditions have caused us to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the RIE II Fee.

 
 

 


·
If we have not had to increase the percentage rate as described above, the percentage rate we use to calculate your RIE II Fee will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your RIE II Bonus Base
   
·
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 RIE II Fee and step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and RIE II Bonus 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 of your Withdrawal Benefit Base and RIE II Bonus Base 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, we will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base and RIE II Bonus Base to an amount equal to the Highest Quarterly Value, if such amount exceeds your current Withdrawal Benefit Base (adjusted for any applicable 7% bonus increases). If the step-up occurs during the RIE II Bonus Period, your RIE II Bonus Period will renew for another 10-year period commencing at the time of step-up.

If your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage has already been determined and your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown in the applicable table below, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will increase. After the step-up, your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage multiplied by your new Withdrawal Benefit Base. If you purchased your Contract on or after February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is determined, based upon your age at time of step-up, as follows:

Your Age at Step-up*
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
59 - 64
4%
65 - 74
5%
75 - 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” in this Appendix.

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is determined, based upon your age at time of step-up, as follows:

Your Age at Step-up*
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
59 - 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” in this Appendix.

Here are examples of how step-up works under a few different circumstances. In each of the four examples, Account Values shown are as of the last day of each Account Quarter. Adjustments are made on the day a Purchase Payment or withdrawal is made. All four examples assume that the Contract was purchased on or after February 17, 2009.

Assume that you are 65 years old when you purchase a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and that you elect to participate in RIE II 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 RIE II Bonus Base are each equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base).
 
The Account Values on each of your four Account Quarters are $113,000, $108,000, $90,000, and $103,000, respectively. No additional Purchase Payments are made and no withdrawals are taken, so no adjustments to these values are necessary. The highest adjusted quarterly value is $113,000. Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base is set to equal to $113,000 since that amount exceeds your previous Withdrawal Benefit Base increased by 7% of your RIE II Bonus Base ($100,000 + $7,000).

Please note: The end of the fourth Account Quarter and the Account Anniversary are the same day. We only make the distinction to separate values before and after step-up.

If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, your Account Value, your Withdrawal Benefit Base, and your RIE II Bonus Base are each immediately increased by the amount of the additional Purchase Payment.

Here is an example of how an additional Purchase Payment of $50,000 made in the first Account Quarter would affect your step-up:

Please note: Since the withdrawal occurred after the first Account Quarter, the first Account Quarter value was adjusted.

Assume instead you take a $40,000 withdrawal in the second Account Quarter at a point when the Account Value equaled $99,000 immediately before the withdrawal. Since this withdrawal exceeds your Annual Withdrawal Amount, it is considered an Excess Withdrawal. The Excess Withdrawal reduces your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your RIE II Bonus Base as described under “Excess Withdrawals” in this Appendix. All previous quarter-end Account Values are first reduced by the Annual Withdrawal Amount less any prior withdrawals taken in that Account Year and then adjusted in the same proportion that the Withdrawal Benefit Base was adjusted after the Excess Withdrawal. (See the two-step calculation shown in the box below the following example.)

All of the above examples assume that you are age 65 at issue, so your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is 5%. Assume instead you are age 74 at issue and have attained age 75 on your first Account Anniversary. Follow the first example where no withdrawals were taken and no additional Purchase Payments were made. When your Withdrawal Benefit Base steps-up to $113,000, your new Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is 6% since you had attained age 75 by your first Account Anniversary. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is now $6,780.

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you have the option of electing RIE II with single-life coverage or, for a higher RIE II 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 primary beneficiary on the Issue Date and remains the sole primary beneficiary while RIE II 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 RIE II is in effect. Whereas single-life coverage provides annual withdrawals under RIE II only until any Participant dies, joint-life coverage provides annual withdrawals under RIE II for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. (Note, however, upon the death of a spouse, the Contract, including RIE II, ends. To take annual withdrawals under RIE II’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 Participant Under RIE II with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

If you have elected joint-life coverage, the RIE II Coverage Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 59 on the Issue Date, and will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 59 if the younger spouse is less than age 59 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 II 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 II Coverage Date, as shown in the tables below. If you purchased your Contract on or after February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is determined, as follows:

Age of Younger Spouse on
Date of the First Withdrawal After
Your RIE II Coverage Date
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
59 - 64
4%
65 - 74
5%
75 - 79
6%
80 or older
7%

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is determined, as follows:

Age of Younger Spouse on
Date of First Withdrawal After
Your RIE II Coverage Date
Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage
59 - 69
5%
70 - 79
6%
80 or older
7%

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount equals your Withdrawal Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. Once your Annual Withdrawal Amount is calculated, the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will not change except if a step-up occurs as described under “Step-Up Under RIE II” in this Appendix. The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will then be reset, if higher, to the percentage for then attained age of the younger spouse.

The two spouses on the Issue Date are the only two people covered under the joint-life feature. If a Participant 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, RIE II 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 RIE II 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 RIE II can be made and in light of the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

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

Cancellation of RIE II

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached, RIE II 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.

RIE II will also be cancelled for any of the following:

·
upon a termination of the Contract;
·
upon annuitization*; or
·
your Withdrawal Benefit Base is reduced to zero as a result of Early or Excess Withdrawals.

*Note that the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date permitted under this Contract is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. See “Selection of Annuity Commencement Date” under “THE INCOME PHASE – ANNUITY PROVISIONS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

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

Death of Participant Under RIE II with Single-Life Coverage

If you selected single-life coverage, RIE II terminates on the death of any Participant 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 primary Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your spouse has the additional option of electing to participate in a new RIE II on the original Contract (assuming that 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;
   
·
the new percentage rate used to calculate the RIE II Fee will be set by us based on market conditions at the time and may be higher than the current percentage rate used to calculate the RIE II Fee;
   
·
the new Withdrawal Benefit Base and the new RIE II Bonus Base will each be equal to the Account Value after any Death Benefit has been credited;
   
·
the new Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will be based on the age of the surviving spouse; and
   
·
a new RIE II Bonus Period begins.

Death of Participant Under RIE II with Joint-Life Coverage

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

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

·
the new Account Value will be equal to the Death Benefit;
   
·
the RIE II Fee for the joint-life coverage option will continue for the surviving spouse as it was immediately prior to the death of the Participant;
   
·
the Withdrawal Benefit Base and the RIE II Bonus Base will remain unchanged until the next Account Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in Account Value (see “Step-Up Under RIE II” in this Appendix);
   
·
if withdrawals under RIE II 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 II Coverage Date;
   
·
if withdrawals under RIE II have already begun, the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will be the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage that applied to the Contract prior to the death of the Participant; and
   
·
the RIE II Bonus Period will continue unchanged from the original contract.

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

If you purchased joint-life coverage and the deceased Participant’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 RIE II

Under the terms of RIE II, 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” in this Appendix.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as RIE II. If you elected to participate in RIE II, 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 RIE II, 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 RIE II, we reduce your Account Value dollar for dollar by the amount of the withdrawal. In addition, for that year only, your Annual Withdrawal Amount under RIE II 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 Account Year, more than one calendar year’s Yearly RMD Amount.

Currently, any withdrawal in excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount that is taken to satisfy the Yearly RMD Amounts will not be treated as an Excess Withdrawal, and will not reduce the Withdrawal Benefit Base. However, if there is any material change to the current Code or IRS Rules governing the timing or determination of required minimum distribution amounts, then the Company reserves the right to treat any withdrawal greater than the Annual Withdrawal Amount as an Excess Withdrawal which may significantly reduce the Withdrawal Benefit Base.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.


 
 

 

APPENDIX P -
Income ON Demand® II Escalator

The optional living benefit known as Income ON Demand II Escalator (“IOD II Escalator”) was available on Contracts purchased on or after October 20, 2008, and prior to August 17, 2009, and on certain limited Contracts purchased on or after August 17, 2009. If you elected to participate in IOD II Escalator, the following information applies to your Contract. IOD II Escalator is no longer available for sale on new Contracts.

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, and elected to participate in IOD II Escalator, your Lifetime Income Percentage (defined below) is different from the Lifetime Income Percentage available on Contracts purchased on or after that date. (See “Determining Your Annual Income Amount,” “Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator,” and “Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.) In addition, unless you “step-up” as described under “Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator,” the fee charged for IOD II Escalator is lower than the fee charged on Contracts purchased on or after February 17, 2009. (See “Cost of IOD II Escalator” in this Appendix.)

To describe how IOD II Escalator works, we use the following definitions:

Annual Income Amount:
The amount added to your Stored Income Balance on each Account Anniversary during your Stored Income Period. It is equal to your Income Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Income Percentage.
   
Early Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken prior to your First Withdrawal Date.
   
Excess Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken after your First Withdrawal Date that exceeds your Stored Income Balance (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater).
   
Fee Base:
The amount used to calculate your “IOD II Escalator Fee” (see “Cost of IOD II Escalator”).
   
First Withdrawal Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 59 at issue, otherwise the first Account Anniversary after you attain age 59.
   
Income Benefit Base:
The amount used to calculate your Annual Income Amount for IOD II Escalator.
   
Lifetime Income Percentage:
The percentage used to calculate your Annual Income Amount.
   
Stored Income Balance:
The amount you may withdraw at any time after your First Withdrawal Date without reducing your benefits under IOD II Escalator.
   
Stored Income Period:
A period beginning on your Issue Date if you are at least age 50 at issue, otherwise the first Account Anniversary following your 50th birthday, ending on your Annuity Commencement Date.
   
You and Your:
The terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest living Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant, as described under the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under IOD II Escalator with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under IOD II Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest living annuitant.

Upon annuitization, IOD II Escalator and any elected optional death benefit automatically terminate.

IOD II Escalator allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount each year, beginning after your First Withdrawal Date, until the death of any Participant if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse if joint-life coverage is elected), regardless of the investment performance of the Designated Funds, provided that you comply with certain requirements. The guaranteed annual amount you can withdraw, in any one year, can be 4%, 5%, 6%, or 7% of your Income Benefit Base depending upon your age. Any amount that you do not withdraw in a given year will remain in the Stored Income Balance and can be withdrawn at any time in the future. If you are participating in IOD II Escalator, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

To participate in IOD II Escalator, all of your Account Value must be invested only in Designated Funds at all times during the term of IOD II Escalator. (The term of IOD II Escalator is for life, unless your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero or your benefits under IOD II Escalator are terminated or cancelled as described under “Cancellation of IOD II Escalator,” “Depleting Your Account Value,” and “Annuitization Under IOD II Escalator” in this Appendix.) The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are listed in the section entitled “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

You also had the option of choosing between single-life coverage and joint-life coverage. These options are described in greater detail under “Joint-Life Coverage” and the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under IOD II Escalator with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under IOD II Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

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:

·
increased on each Account Anniversary by any step-ups as described in this Appendix under “Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator”;
   
·
increased to the extent that you exercise your one-time option to use any amount of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base, as described below under “How IOD II Escalator Works”;
   
·
increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date;
   
·
decreased following any Early Withdrawals you take, as described under “Early Withdrawals” in this Appendix; and
   
·
decreased following any Excess Withdrawals you take, as described under “Excess Withdrawals” in this Appendix.

Determining Your Annual Income Amount

Your Annual Income Amount is first determined at the beginning of your Stored Income Period and then on each subsequent Account Anniversary. Your Annual Income Amount is equal to your Income Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Income Percentage. The Lifetime Income Percentage depends upon your age at the beginning of your Stored Income Period as shown in the tables below. If you purchased your Contract on or after February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Income Percentage is determined, as follows:

Your Age at the Beginning of
Your Stored Income Period*
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 64
4%
65 - 74
5%
75 - 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” in this Appendix.

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Income Percentage is determined, as follows:

Your Age at the Beginning of
Your Stored Income Period*
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 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” in this Appendix.

Your Lifetime Income Percentage will only increase if your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown in the tables above. (See “Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator” in this Appendix.) An increase in the Lifetime Income Percentage will increase your Annual Income Amount.

Your Annual Income Amount will also change with any change to your Income Benefit Base as described above under “Determining Your Income Benefit Base.”

Determining Your Stored Income Balance

At the beginning of the Stored Income Period, your Stored Income Balance will equal your Annual Income Amount (your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your Income Benefit Base on that Date). Thereafter, your Stored Income Balance is:

·
increased by your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date;
   
·
increased on each Account Anniversary by your Annual Income Amount determined on that Anniversary;
   
·
decreased by the amount of any withdrawals you take, on or after your First Withdrawal Date, up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance;
   
·
decreased to $0 if you take an Excess Withdrawal;
   
·
decreased in proportion to the change in your Account Value if you take an Early Withdrawal; and
   
·
decreased by the amount you use in exercising your one-time option to increase your Income Benefit Base (described below under “How IOD II Escalator Works”).

How IOD II Escalator Works

Under the terms of IOD II Escalator, you can take withdrawals up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, subject to the terms and conditions discussed below. You can use all or a portion of your Stored Income Balance to effect a one-time increase of your Income Benefit Base prior to your Annuity Commencement Date. IOD II Escalator also provides the opportunity to increase your Annual Income Amount if your Lifetime Income Percentage increases as you grow older. (Your Lifetime Income Percentage will only increase if you step-up after you reach certain specified ages.) If your Account Value is 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, you will receive your full Annual Income Amount every year until you die.

Withdrawals from your Stored Income Balance can be taken at any time beginning on your First Withdrawal Date and prior to your Annuity Commencement Date without affecting your Income Benefit Base. If, beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, you make a withdrawal that does not exceed your Stored Income Balance:

·
your Stored Income Balance will be decreased by the amount withdrawn; and
   
·
the withdrawal will not be subject to withdrawal charges.

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. While your Contract is in force, you may exercise this option only once and you must do so prior to your Annuity Commencement Date. 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 your Stored Income Balance used will be added to your Income Benefit Base; and
   
·
your new Annual Income Amount on your next Account Anniversary will equal your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your new Income Benefit Base.

Here is an example of how IOD II Escalator works. These examples assume that your Contract was purchased on or after February 17, 2009.

Assume that you are age 65 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume you elected to participate in IOD II Escalator with single-life coverage and investment performance of the Designated Funds is constant over the years. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Lifetime Income Percentage is 5%. 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. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

During your fifth Account Year, you use the full amount of your Stored Income Balance ($25,000) to increase your Income Benefit Base. On your next Account Anniversary, your Income Benefit Base will be increased to $125,000 and your Annual Income Amount will be $6,250 (your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $6,250 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance unless your Annual Income Amount changes.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Assume instead that, during your fifth Account Year, you take a withdrawal of $25,000, thereby reducing your Stored Income Balance to $0. On your next Account Anniversary, your Income Benefit Base will remain at $100,000 and your Annual Income Amount remains at $5,000 (your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $5,000 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance unless your Annual Income Amount changes.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Early Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals may significantly decrease, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II Escalator, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value, as described further below under “Withdrawals Under IOD II Escalator.” Even if your Stored Income Period has begun, withdrawals prior to your First Withdrawal Date are considered Early Withdrawals. Investing in any Fund, other than a Designated Fund, will cancel IOD II Escalator as described under “Cancellation of IOD II Escalator” in this Appendix.

Withdrawals Under IOD II Escalator

Withdrawals After Your First Withdrawal Date

Starting on your First Withdrawal Date and continuing to your Annuity Commencement Date you may take annual withdrawals up to your Stored Income Balance without reducing your Annual Income Amount. These withdrawals will reduce your Stored Income Balance by the full amount of the withdrawal, but will not change your Income Benefit Base. This is shown in the previous example.

Withdrawals taken after your First Withdrawal Date and during the withdrawal charge period permitted under your Contract are subject to withdrawal charges only to the extent they are in excess of the greatest of:

·
the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract;
   
·
your Stored Income Balance; or
   
·
your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount (subject to conditions discussed under “Certain Tax Provisions” in this Appendix).

Excess Withdrawals

If you take an Excess Withdrawal, your Income Benefit Base will be reduced according to the following formula:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV – SB

Where:
   
 
IBB =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
SB  =
Your Stored Income Balance (or your Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater) immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.

Your Annual Income Amount will be recalculated based on the reduced Income Benefit Base. Here is an example of an Excess Withdrawal:

Using the same facts as the previous example, assume that in your fifth Account Year you take a withdrawal of $50,000, exceeding your Stored Income Balance. Assume that due to poor investment performance during the fifth Account Year your Account Value was $90,000 immediately prior to the withdrawal. Your Income Benefit Base will be reduced to $61,538 as shown below.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Your new Income Benefit Base  
=
$100,000 x
(
$90,000 – $50,000
)
= $61,538
$90,000 – $25,000

Excess Withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II Escalator, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

Early Withdrawals

All withdrawals taken before your First Withdrawal Date, including any “free withdrawal amounts” permitted under your Contract, will be considered Early Withdrawals and the Income Benefit Base and the Stored Income Balance will be reduced using the following formulas:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Your new Stored Income Balance =
SB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
IBB =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
SB  =
Your Stored Income Balance immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.

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

In addition, Early Withdrawals will also be subject to withdrawal charges, to the extent that such withdrawals are in excess of the “free withdrawal amount” permitted under your Contract. Early Withdrawals could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD II Escalator, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

In addition to reducing your benefits under IOD II Escalator, any withdrawal before your First Withdrawal Date could have state and federal income tax liability. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal (as described above), then your Stored Income Balance and your Income Benefit Base will both be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value. Therefore, your Contract, as well as any benefits available with IOD II Escalator, will end.

If 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 Withdrawals or Early Withdrawals, your Income Benefit Base will not be reduced. Your Contract will end. You will be entitled to receive annual payments equal to your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your Income Benefit Base. Prior to determining your annual payments, you may increase your Income Benefit Base by any remaining Stored Income Balance as described below. These payments will continue for as long as you live. If you elected joint-life coverage, the payments will continue as long as either you or your spouse are alive as described in this Appendix under “Death of Participant Under IOD II Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage.” 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)
withdrawing your remaining Stored Income Balance;
   
(b)
applying the remaining amount of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base (and thus the amount of your “annual lifetime payments”); or
   
(c)
using a combination of (a) and (b).

Because the Contract has ended, the amount of these annual lifetime payments will not change and they will not be subject to any withdrawal charges. You should be aware, however, that they could be subject to state and federal income tax liability. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Cost of IOD II Escalator

If you elect IOD II Escalator, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value (“IOD II Escalator Fee”). The IOD II Escalator Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter and will equal 0.2375 % of your Fee Base on that day, if you elected single-life coverage (0.2875% for joint-life coverage). On an annual basis, the IOD II Escalator Fee is equal to 0.95% of your Fee Base if you elected single-life coverage (1.15% for joint-life coverage).

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your cost for IOD II Escalator was initially, on an annual basis, 0.80% of the highest Fee Base for single-life coverage (1.00% for joint-life coverage). Your cost for IOD II Escalator will not increase unless:

·
you decide to step-up your Income Benefit Base, as described in this Appendix under “Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator,” and
   
·
you consent in writing, at the time of step-up, to accept an increase in your IOD II Escalator Fee to 0.95% for single-life coverage (1.15% for joint-life coverage).

If you do not consent to the higher fee, the step-up will not be implemented and all subsequent step-ups will be suspended unless and until we receive your written consent to the higher fee.

During the first Account Year, your Fee Base is equal to your Income Benefit Base. On each Account Anniversary, the Fee Base is recalculated. Your new Fee Base will be reset to equal your Income Benefit Base plus your Stored Income Balance (if any) less your Annual Income Amount (if any) for that year if this recalculated amount is higher than your current Fee Base. In the event that the recalculated amount is not greater than your current Fee Base, we will continue to calculate your IOD II Escalator Fee based upon your current Fee Base until, at least, your next Account Anniversary. Note that, although your IOD II Escalator Fee may increase, it will never decrease.
 
 
For the most part, we calculate your Fee Base only on your Account Anniversary. However, we will recalculate your Fee Base between Account Anniversaries, if you take an Early Withdrawal or Excess Withdrawal or make additional Purchase Payments during your first Account Year.

If you take an Excess Withdrawal during your Stored Income Period, your Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - SB


 
 

 

If you take an Early Withdrawal, your Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
Fee Base =
Your Fee Base immediately prior to the Early/Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Early/Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
SB =
Your Stored Income Balance (if any) immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AV =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early/Excess Withdrawal.

Any additional Purchase Payment you make during your first Account Year will increase your Income Benefit Base as described under “Determining Your Income Benefit Base” in this Appendix. Therefore, your Fee Base will increase by any additional Purchase Payments made.

Here is an example of how we calculate your Fee Base. The following examples assume that you purchased your Contract on or after February 17, 2009.

Assume that you are age 65 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume you elected to participate in IOD II Escalator with single-life coverage and investment performance of the Designated Funds is constant over the years. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Lifetime Income Percentage is 5%. Your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). All values are shown as of the beginning of the Account Year unless otherwise shown.
 
During the Stored Income Period, the Fee Base is reset at the beginning of the Contract Year to equal your Income Benefit Base plus your Stored Income Balance less your Annual Income Amount, if that amount is greater than the previous Fee Base. For example, in Contract Year 4, the Fee Base is set equal to the Income Benefit Base ($100,000) plus the Stored Income Balance ($20,000) less your Annual Income Amount ($5,000) if that amount ($115,000) is greater than the previous Fee Base ($110,000).

At the beginning of your fifth Account Year, your Income Benefit Base ($100,000) plus your Stored Income Balance ($5,000) less your Annual Income Amount ($5,000) is less than the current Fee Base ($115,000), so there is no change to the Fee Base, as shown below.

On each Account Anniversary thereafter, your Fee Base is recalculated and reset if necessary.

Your IOD II Escalator Fee will not change during an Account Year, unless you take one of two specific actions:

·
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, you will increase your Fee Base and thus your IOD II Escalator Fee.
   
·
If you make an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal, you will decrease your Fee Base and thus your IOD II Escalator Fee.

In addition, on your Account Anniversary, the IOD II Escalator Fee may also change, if we increase the percentage used to calculate the IOD II Escalator Fee as described below under “Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator.”

The investment performance of the Designated Funds will not affect your IOD II Escalator Fee during an Account Year. However, as stated below under “Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator,” favorable investment performance may cause the Income Benefit Base to increase on an Account Anniversary, and thus increase your IOD II Escalator Fee.

We will continue to deduct the IOD II Escalator Fee until you annuitize your Contract, your Account Value reduces to zero, or your benefits under IOD II Escalator are cancelled as described under “Cancellation of IOD II Escalator” in this Appendix.

Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator

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

·
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.)
   
·
Your highest quarter-end Account Value (adjusted for subsequent purchase payments and withdrawals) during the most recent Account Year (“Highest Quarterly Value”) minus your Stored Income Balance must be greater than your current Income Benefit Base. (If you have not yet reached your Stored Income Period and therefore do not yet have a Stored Income Balance, your highest quarter-end Account Value must only be greater than your current Income Benefit Base.)

Second, if you satisfy the eligibility requirements, we then consider whether market conditions have caused us to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Escalator Fee.

·
If we have not had to increase the percentage rate as described above, the percentage rate we use to calculate your IOD II Escalator Fee will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Income Benefit Base.
   
·
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 IOD II Escalator Fee and step-up your Income 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 of your Income Benefit Base 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, we will increase your Income Benefit Base to an amount equal to the highest adjusted quarterly Account Value less your Stored Income Balance, if any, provided that such amount exceeds your current Income Benefit Base.

Your Lifetime Income Percentage will increase if your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown below. After the step-up, your Annual Income Amount will be your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your new Income Benefit Base. If you purchased your Contract on or after February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Income Percentage is determined, based upon your age at time of step-up, as follows:

Your Age at Step-up*
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 64
4%
65 - 74
5%
75 - 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” in this Appendix.

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Income Percentage is determined, based upon your age at time of step-up, as follows:

Your Age at Step-up*
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 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” in this Appendix.

Here are examples of how step-up works under a few different circumstances. All four examples assume that the Contract was purchased on or after February 17, 2009.

Assume that you are 65 years old when you purchase a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and that you elect to participate in IOD II Escalator with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Your initial Stored Income Balance is $5,000.
 
In each of the four examples, Account Values shown are as of the last day of each Account Quarter. Adjustments are made on the day a Purchase Payment or withdrawal is made.
 
The Account Values on each of your four Account Quarters are $113,000, $108,000, $90,000, and $103,000, respectively. No additional Purchase Payments are made and no withdrawals are taken, so no adjustments to these values are necessary. Your Stored Income Balance at the end of the fourth Account Quarter is $5,000. The highest adjusted quarterly value is $113,000. Your new Income Benefit Base is set to equal $108,000 ($113,000 - $5,000) since that amount exceeds your previous Income Benefit Base.

If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, your Account Value and your Income Benefit Base are each immediately increased by the amount of the additional Purchase Payment. Your Stored Income Balance is increased by 5% of the additional Purchase Payment.

Assume instead you take a $40,000 withdrawal in the second Account Quarter at a point when the Account Value equaled $99,000 immediately before the withdrawal. Since this withdrawal exceeds your Stored Income Balance, it is considered an Excess Withdrawal. The Excess Withdrawal reduces your Income Benefit Base as described in this Appendix under “Excess Withdrawals.” All previous quarter-end Account Values are first reduced by the amount of the Stored Income Balance and then adjusted in the same proportion that the Income Benefit Base was adjusted after the Excess Withdrawal.

All of the above examples assume that you are age 65 at issue, so your Lifetime Income Percentage is set to 5%. Assume instead you are age 74 at issue and have attained age 75 on your first Account Anniversary. Follow the first example where no withdrawals were taken and no additional Purchase Payments were made. When your Income Benefit Base steps-up to $108,000, your new Lifetime Income Percentage is 6% since you are now age 75. Your Annual Income Amount is now $6,480, and your Stored Income Balance becomes $11,480.

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you have the option of electing IOD II Escalator with single-life coverage or, for a higher IOD II Escalator 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 primary Beneficiary on the Issue Date and remains the sole primary Beneficiary while IOD II Escalator 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 IOD II Escalator is in effect. Whereas single-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount only until any Participant dies, joint-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. Note that, for joint-life coverage to continue after the death of any Participant, the surviving spouse must elect to continue the contract through the “Spousal Continuance” provision. See also “Death of Participant Under IOD II Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

If you have elected joint-life coverage, the Stored Income Period will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 50. Otherwise it will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 50 if the younger spouse is less than age 50 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.) The First Withdrawal Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 59. Otherwise it will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 59.
The Lifetime Income Percentage will be based on the age of the younger spouse, as shown in the tables below. If you purchased your Contract on or after February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Income Percentage is determined, as follows:

Age of Younger Spouse at Step-up
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 64
4%
65 - 74
5%
75 - 79
6%
80 or older
7%

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your Lifetime Income Percentage is determined, as follows:

Age Younger Spouse at Step-up
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 69
5%
70 - 79
6%
80 or older
7%

The Lifetime Income Percentage may increase, in the future, if the age of the younger spouse at time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown in the applicable table above.

The two spouses on the Issue Date are the only two people covered under the joint-life feature. If a Participant 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, your benefits under IOD II Escalator 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. The percentage rate of the fee will not be reduced 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 possibly long waiting period before the benefit begins to accumulate income and in light of the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

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

Cancellation of IOD II Escalator

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached, IOD II Escalator 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.

IOD II Escalator will also be cancelled for any of the following:

·
upon a termination of the Contract;
·
upon annuitization*; or
·
your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero as a result of Early or Excess Withdrawals.

*Note that the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date permitted under this Contract is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. See “Selection of Annuity Commencement Date” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

A change in ownership may also cancel your benefits under IOD II Escalator.

Death of Participant Under IOD II Escalator with Single-Life Coverage

If you elected single-life coverage, IOD II Escalator terminates on the death of any Participant 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 primary Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your spouse has the additional option of electing to participate in a new IOD II Escalator on the original Contract (assuming your surviving spouse meets certain eligibility requirements). If your surviving spouse makes such election, all of the following occur:

·
the new Account Value will be the greater of the Stored Income Balance on the original Contract or the Death Benefit;
   
·
the new percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Escalator Fee will be set by us based on market conditions at the time and may be higher than the current percentage rate used to calculate the IOD II Escalator Fee;
   
·
the new Income Benefit Base will be equal to the Account Value after any Death Benefit has been credited;
   
·
the new Lifetime Income Percentage will be based on the age of the surviving spouse; and
   
·
the new Stored Income Balance will be reset to zero.


 
 

 

Death of Participant Under IOD II Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage

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

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

·
the new Account Value will be equal to the Death Benefit;
   
·
the Stored Income Balance will remain unchanged;
   
·
the Income Benefit Base will remain unchanged until the next Account Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in the Account Value (see “Step-Up Under IOD II Escalator” in this Appendix);
   
·
if the Stored Income Period has not yet begun, the Lifetime Income Percentage will be determined when the Stored Income Period begins (i.e., on the first Account Anniversary following the date the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 50);
   
·
if the Stored Income Period has already begun, the Lifetime Income Percentage will be the Lifetime Income Percentage that applied to the Contract prior to the death of the Participant;
   
·
on each Account Anniversary, the Annual Income Amount will be equal to the Income Benefit Base multiplied by the Lifetime Income Percentage; and
   
·
the percentage rate of the IOD II Escalator Fee for the joint-life coverage option will continue for the surviving spouse as it was immediately prior to the death of the Participant.

At the death of the surviving spouse, the Contract, including IOD II Escalator, terminates. If you purchased joint-life coverage and the deceased Participant’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 IOD II Escalator

Under the terms of IOD II Escalator, 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 Annuity Options available on that date; 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 (or a joint-life annuity, if joint-life coverage was elected at issue and you are still eligible to receive it) with an annualized annuity payment of not less than the Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by 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” in this Appendix.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as IOD II Escalator. If you elected to participate in IOD II Escalator, you may withdraw annual amounts up to the Yearly RMD Amount without affecting your 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 IOD II Escalator, as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract’s Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in IOD II Escalator, 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 Account Year, more than one calendar year’s Yearly RMD Amount.

Currently, any withdrawal in excess of the Annual Income Amount or Stored Income Balance that is taken to satisfy the Yearly RMD Amounts will not be treated as an Excess Withdrawal, and will not reduce the Income Benefit Base. However, if there is any material change to the current Code or IRS Rules governing the timing or determination of required minimum distribution amounts, then the Company reserves the right to treat any withdrawal greater than the Annual Income Amount or Stored Income Balance as an Excess Withdrawal which may significantly reduce the Income Benefit Base.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.


 
 

 

APPENDIX Q -
RETIREMENT ASSET PROTECTORSM

The optional living benefit known as Retirement Asset Protector was available on Contracts purchased on or after March 5, 2007 and prior to August 17, 2009. If you elected to participate in Retirement Asset Protector, the following information applies to your Contract. Retirement Asset Protector is no longer available for sale on new Contracts, and therefore, renewals of the benefit are no longer available.

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, and elected to participate in Retirement Asset Protector, the fee charged for your living benefit is lower than the fee charged on Contracts purchased on or after that date. (See “Cost of Retirement Asset Protector.”) Your fee will not increase unless you elect to “step-up” as described under “Step-Up Under Retirement Asset Protector,” and you consent in writing to accept the higher fee.

To describe how Retirement Asset Protector 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 Retirement Asset Protector.”
   
GMAB Maturity Date:
The date when Retirement Asset Protector matures. If you are younger than 85 on the Issue Date, your GMAB Maturity Date is the later of your 10th Account Anniversary or 10 years from the date of your most recent step-up. (See “Step-Up Under Retirement Asset Protector.”) If you are 85 on the Issue Date, your GMAB Maturity Date is your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date.
   
You and Your:
Under Retirement Asset Protector, the terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant as described under “Death of Participant Under Retirement Asset Protector.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest annuitant.

Retirement Asset Protector guarantees a return of the greater of:

·
the excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value or
·
your total fees paid for Retirement Asset Protector (“Retirement Asset Protector Fees”),

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

If you are participating in Retirement Asset Protector, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

To participate in Retirement Asset Protector, all of your Account Value must be invested in a Designated Fund at all times during the term of the GMAB Maturity Date. The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are listed in the section entitled “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

Cost of Retirement Asset Protector

If you elected Retirement Asset Protector, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value (“Retirement Asset Protector Fee” or “rider 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 0.1875% 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 Account Year is equal to 0.75% of the highest Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base at any point in that Account Year.

If you purchased your Contract prior to February 17, 2009, your cost for Retirement Asset Protector was initially, on an annual basis, 0.35% of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base. The cost of your benefit will not increase unless, at time of step-up, you consent in writing to accept this higher fee of 0.75%. If you do not consent to the higher fee, the step-up will not be implemented and all subsequent step-ups will be suspended unless and until we receive your written consent to the higher fee.

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

·
If you made an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, you will increase your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base and thus your Retirement Asset Protector Fee.
   
·
If you make a partial withdrawal, you will decrease your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base and thus your Retirement Asset Protector Fee.
   
·
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:

·
you annuitize your Contract;
   
·
Retirement Asset Protector matures on the GMAB Maturity Date;
   
·
your Retirement Asset Protector benefit is cancelled as described in this Appendix under “Cancellation of Retirement Asset Protector;” or
   
·
your Account Value is reduced to zero.

How Retirement Asset Protector 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.

We determine the value of (b) in two steps.

(1)
As described above under “Cost of Retirement Asset Protector,” each quarter between the Issue Date and the GMAB Maturity Date we calculate the Retirement Asset Protector Fee by multiplying your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base on the last valuation day of that quarter by the applicable percentage rate.
   
(2)
We then sum each quarterly amount calculated in (1) to determine the total amount of Retirement Asset Protector Fees paid.

In the situation where you purchased your Contract on or after February 17, 2009, and do not make additional Purchase Payments or partial withdrawals and you do not “step-up,” you can expect the total fees paid to equal 7.50% of your initial Purchase Payment. In other words, because Retirement Asset Protector matures in 10 years, we multiply 0.1875% times 40 quarters (four quarters per year for 10 years) to obtain the percentage (7.50%) needed to determine the total amount of the fees to be paid. If you make additional Purchase Payments, you “step-up,” or the percentage rate used to calculate the Retirement Asset Protector Fee is changed at the time of “step-up,” the total amount of fees will be higher.

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 Retirement Asset Protector:

·
Assume that you purchased a Contract on March 7, 2007 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and you selected Retirement Asset Protector. Your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base equals your Purchase Payment amount of $100,000.
   
·
Assume you make an additional Purchase Payment of $50,000 on April 7, 2007, thus increasing your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base to $150,000.
   
·
Assume you make no withdrawals or additional Purchase Payments and you do not step-up prior to the GMAB Maturity Date on March 7, 2017.
   
·
Assume that, because of poor investment performance, your Account Value on March 7, 2017 is $135,000. The excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value is $15,000 ($150,000 - $135,000). 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 $15,000 to your Account Value.
   
·
Assume instead that, because of better investment performance, your Account Value on March 7, 2017, 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 Retirement Asset Protector

All withdrawals you take, including any free withdrawal amounts or 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

You should be aware that, if you take a withdrawal when your Account Value is less than your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base, the withdrawal may reduce the value of your Benefit Base by an amount greater than the amount of the withdrawal. Thus, withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under Retirement Asset Protector, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value. Here is an example of how we handle withdrawals under Retirement Asset Protector:

·
Assume that you purchased a Contract on March 7, 2007 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and you selected Retirement Asset Protector. Your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base equals your Purchase Payment amount of $100,000.
   
·
Assume that, on March 10, 2009, 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.
   
·
Assume you make no additional withdrawals and you do not step-up prior to the GMAB Maturity Date on March 7, 2017.
   
·
Assume that, because of investment performance, your Account Value on March 7, 2017 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 Retirement Asset Protector

On or after your first Account 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 Account 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 Retirement Asset Protector, 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 one full year from the Step-Up Date must pass before you can elect another step-up. You can only elect to step-up if:

·
your current Account Value is greater than the current Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base, and
   
·
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 Retirement Asset Protector, 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 Retirement Asset Protector will “mature” on your 10th Account Anniversary. If you elect to step-up your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base, your benefit under Retirement Asset Protector will mature 10 years from the most recent Step-Up Date. In either case, on the day your Retirement Asset Protector benefit matures (the “GMAB Maturity Date”), we will credit the greater of:

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

·
Assume that you purchased a Contract on March 7, 2008 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and you selected Retirement Asset Protector. Your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base equals your Purchase Payment amount of $100,000.
   
·
Assume that, on March 7, 2009, 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 March 7, 2019.
   
·
Assume you make no withdrawals prior to the GMAB Maturity Date on March 7, 2019.
   
·
Assume that your Account Value on March 7, 2019 is $108,000. The excess of your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base over your Account Value is $10,000 ($118,000 - $108,000). Your total Retirement Asset Protector Fee is equal to the sum of all fees applied prior to the step-up plus the sum of all fees applied after the step-up.
   
 
The sum of all fees applied prior to the step-up are equal to the sum of the value of the Benefit Bases prior to the step-up multiplied by the quarterly fee percentage applicable prior to the step-up [($100,000 x 4) x (0.35% ÷ 4)].  Similarly, the sum of all fees applied after the step-up are equal to the sum of the value of the Benefit Bases after the step-up multiplied by the quarterly fee percentage applicable after the step-up [($118,000 x 40) x (0.75% ÷ 4)].
   
 
In this case, the total amount of rider fees paid is $9,200. Therefore, we will credit $10,000 to your Account Value.

We reserve the right to discontinue offering the step-up provision of Retirement Asset Protector if we determine that, based upon market conditions at the time of the step-up, we can no longer offer Retirement Asset Protector to new Contracts at the current percentage rate used to calculate the Retirement Asset Protector Fee as set forth in this Appendix under “Cost of Retirement Asset Protector.” 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.

Cancellation of Retirement Asset Protector

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached, Retirement Asset Protector 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 Participant Under Retirement Asset Protector

If the Participant dies while participating in Retirement Asset Protector, all benefits and charges under the benefit 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 can automatically continue Retirement Asset Protector even though the Account Value may have been enhanced under the provisions of the death benefit. (See “Spousal Continuance” under “DEATH BENEFIT” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.) The GMAB Maturity Date does not change.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as Retirement Asset Protector. If you withdraw all or a portion of your retirement plan’s Yearly RMD Amount from the your Qualified Contract while participating in Retirement Asset Protector, we reduce your Account Value by the amount of the withdrawal and your Retirement Asset Protector Benefit Base proportionally (see “Withdrawals Under Retirement Asset Protector” in this Appendix).

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.


 
 

 

APPENDIX R -
Income ON Demand® III Escalator

The optional living benefit known as Income ON Demand III Escalator (“IOD III Escalator”) was available on Contracts purchased on or after August 17, 2009 and prior to February 8, 2010. If you elected to participate in IOD III Escalator, the following information applies to your Contract. IOD III Escalator is no longer available for sale on new Contracts. To describe how IOD III Escalator works, we use the following definitions:

Annual Income Amount:
The amount added to your Stored Income Balance on each Account Anniversary during your Stored Income Period. It is equal to your Income Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Income Percentage.
   
Early Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken prior to your First Withdrawal Date.
   
Excess Withdrawal:
Any withdrawal taken after your First Withdrawal Date that exceeds your Stored Income Balance (or your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater).
   
Fee Base:
The amount used to calculate your “IOD III Escalator Fee” (see “Cost of IOD III Escalator” in this Appendix).
   
First Withdrawal Date:
Your Issue Date if you are at least age 59 at issue, otherwise the first Account Anniversary after you attain age 59.
   
Income Benefit Base:
The amount used to calculate your Annual Income Amount for IOD III Escalator.
   
Lifetime Income Percentage:
The percentage used to calculate your Annual Income Amount.
   
Stored Income Balance:
The amount you may withdraw at any time after your First Withdrawal Date without reducing your benefits under IOD III Escalator.
   
Stored Income Period:
A period beginning on your Issue Date if you are at least age 50 at issue, otherwise the first Account Anniversary following your 50th birthday, ending on your Annuity Commencement Date.
   
You and Your:
The terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest living Participant or the surviving spouse of the oldest Participant, as described in this Appendix under the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under IOD III Escalator with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under IOD III Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage.” In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest living annuitant.

Upon annuitization, IOD III Escalator and the MAV optional death benefit, if elected, automatically terminate.

IOD III Escalator allows you to withdraw a guaranteed amount each year, beginning after your First Withdrawal Date, until the death of any Participant if single-life coverage is elected (or until the death of both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse if joint-life coverage is elected), regardless of the investment performance of the Designated Funds, provided that you comply with certain requirements. The guaranteed annual amount you can withdraw, in any one year, can be 4%, 5%, or 6% of your Income Benefit Base depending upon your age. Under IOD III Escalator, if you forgo withdrawing all or any part of your Annual Income Amount in any one year, that amount will be stored or banked in the Stored Income Balance for use in later years. In any future year, you may take more than your Annual Income Amount by drawing from that amount which you have stored or banked. Thus, in future years, you can take your full Annual Income Amount plus all or a portion of that amount which you have stored or banked.

If you are participating in IOD III Escalator, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. After the first Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payments you submit will be returned to you.

If you are participating in IOD III Escalator, all of your Account Value must be invested only in Designated Funds at all times during the term of IOD III Escalator. (The term of IOD III Escalator is for life, unless your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero or your benefits under IOD III Escalator are terminated or cancelled as described in this Appendix under “Cancellation of IOD III Escalator,” “Depleting Your Account Value,” and “Annuitization Under IOD III Escalator.”) The only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are listed in the section entitled “DESIGNATED FUNDS” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

You had the option of choosing between single-life coverage and joint-life coverage. These options are described in greater detail under “Joint-Life Coverage” and the sections entitled “Death of Participant Under IOD III Escalator with Single-Life Coverage” and “Death of Participant Under IOD III Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

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:

·
increased on each Account Anniversary by any step-ups as described under “Step-Up Under IOD III Escalator” in this Appendix;
   
·
increased to the extent that 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 IOD III Escalator Works” in this Appendix;
   
·
increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date;
   
·
decreased following any Early Withdrawals you take, as described under “Early Withdrawals” in this Appendix; and
   
·
decreased following any Excess Withdrawals you take, as described under “Excess Withdrawals” in this Appendix.

Determining Your Annual Income Amount

Your Annual Income Amount is first determined at the beginning of your Stored Income Period and then on each subsequent Account Anniversary. Your Annual Income Amount is equal to your Income Benefit Base multiplied by your Lifetime Income Percentage. The Lifetime Income Percentage depends upon your age at the beginning of your Stored Income Period as shown in the table below.

Your Age at the Beginning of
Your Stored Income Period*
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 64
4%
65 - 79
5%
80 or older
6%
*If you elected joint-life coverage, the age ranges are based upon the age of the younger spouse
  as described in this Appendix under “Joint-Life Coverage.”

Your Lifetime Income Percentage will only increase if your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown in the table above. (See “Step-Up Under IOD III Escalator” in this Appendix) An increase in the Lifetime Income Percentage will increase your Annual Income Amount.

Your Annual Income Amount will also change with any change to your Income Benefit Base as described under “Determining Your Income Benefit Base” in this Appendix.

Determining Your Stored Income Balance

At the beginning of the Stored Income Period, your Stored Income Balance will equal your Annual Income Amount (your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your Income Benefit Base on that Date). Thereafter, your Stored Income Balance is:

·
increased by your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by any subsequent Purchase Payments you make during the first year following the Issue Date;
   
·
increased on each Account Anniversary by your Annual Income Amount determined on that Anniversary;
   
·
decreased by the amount of any withdrawals you take, on or after your First Withdrawal Date, up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance;
   
·
decreased to $0 if you take an Excess Withdrawal;
   
·
decreased in proportion to the change in your Account Value if you take an Early Withdrawal; and
   
·
decreased by the amount you use in exercising your one-time option to increase your Income Benefit Base (described below under “How IOD III Escalator Works”).

How IOD III Escalator Works

Under the terms of IOD III Escalator, you can take withdrawals up to the amount of your Stored Income Balance beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, subject to the terms and conditions discussed below. You can use all or a portion of your Stored Income Balance to effect a one-time increase of your Income Benefit Base prior to your Annuity Commencement Date. IOD III Escalator also provides the opportunity to increase your Annual Income Amount if your Lifetime Income Percentage increases as you grow older. (Your Lifetime Income Percentage will only increase if you step-up after you reach certain specified ages.) If your Account Value is 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, you will receive your full Annual Income Amount every year until you die.

Withdrawals from your Stored Income Balance can be taken at any time beginning on your First Withdrawal Date and prior to your Annuity Commencement Date without affecting your Income Benefit Base. If, beginning on your First Withdrawal Date, you make a withdrawal that does not exceed your Stored Income Balance:

·
your Stored Income Balance will be decreased by the amount withdrawn; and
   
·
the withdrawal will not be subject to withdrawal charges.

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. While your Contract is in force, you may exercise this option only once and you must do so prior to your Annuity Commencement Date. 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 your Stored Income Balance used will be added to your Income Benefit Base; and
   
·
your new Annual Income Amount on your next Account Anniversary will equal your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your new Income Benefit Base.

Here is an example of how IOD III Escalator works.

Assume that you are age 65 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume you elected to participate in IOD III Escalator with single-life coverage and investment performance of the Designated Funds is constant over the years. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Lifetime Income Percentage is 5%. 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. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

During your fifth Account Year, you use the full amount of your Stored Income Balance ($25,000) to increase your Income Benefit Base. On your next Account Anniversary, your Income Benefit Base will be increased to $125,000 and your Annual Income Amount will be $6,250 (your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $6,250 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance unless your Annual Income Amount changes.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Assume instead that, during your fifth Account Year, you take a withdrawal of $25,000, thereby reducing your Stored Income Balance to $0. On your next Account Anniversary, your Income Benefit Base will remain at $100,000 and your Annual Income Amount remains at $5,000 (your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your Income Benefit Base). Therefore $5,000 will be added each year to your Stored Income Balance unless your Annual Income Amount changes.

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Early Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals may significantly decrease, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD III Escalator, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value, as described further below under “Withdrawals Under IOD III Escalator”. Even if your Stored Income Period has begun, withdrawals prior to your First Withdrawal Date are considered Early Withdrawals. Investing in any Fund, other than a Designated Fund will cancel IOD III Escalator as described in this Appendix under “Cancellation of IOD III Escalator.”

Withdrawals Under IOD III Escalator

Withdrawals After Your First Withdrawal Date

Starting on your First Withdrawal Date and continuing to your Annuity Commencement Date you may take annual withdrawals up to your Stored Income Balance without reducing your future Annual Income Amount. These withdrawals will reduce your Stored Income Balance by the full amount of the withdrawal, but will not change your Income Benefit Base. This is shown in the previous example.

Withdrawals taken after your First Withdrawal Date and during the withdrawal charge period permitted under your Contract are subject to withdrawal charges only to the extent they are in excess of the greatest of:

·
the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract;
   
·
your Stored Income Balance; or
   
·
your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount (subject to conditions discussed under “Certain Tax Provisions” in this Appendix).

Excess Withdrawals

If you take an Excess Withdrawal, your Income Benefit Base will be reduced according to the following formula:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV – WD
)
AV – SB

Where:
   
 
IBB =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
SB  =
Your Stored Income Balance (or your Yearly Required Minimum Distribution Amount, if greater) immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.

Your Annual Income Amount will be recalculated based on the reduced Income Benefit Base. Here is an example of an Excess Withdrawal:

Using the same facts as the previous example, assume that in your fifth Account Year you take a withdrawal of $50,000, exceeding your Stored Income Balance. Assume that due to poor investment performance during the fifth Account Year your Account Value was $90,000 immediately prior to the withdrawal. Your Income Benefit Base will be reduced to $61,538 as shown below.
 
Year

Each year thereafter, the Annual Income Amount will be added to the Stored Income Balance in the same manner.

Your new Income Benefit Base
=
$100,000 x
(
$90,000 – $50,000
)
= $61,538
$90,000 – $25,000

Excess Withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD III Escalator, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

Early Withdrawals

All withdrawals taken before your First Withdrawal Date, including any “free withdrawal amounts” permitted under your Contract, will be considered Early Withdrawals and the Income Benefit Base and the Stored Income Balance will be reduced using the following formulas:

Your new Income Benefit Base =
IBB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Your new Stored Income Balance =
SB x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
IBB =
Your Income Benefit Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
SB  =
Your Stored Income Balance immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Early Withdrawal.
     
 
AV  =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.

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

In addition, Early Withdrawals will also be subject to withdrawal charges, to the extent that such withdrawals are in excess of the “free withdrawal amount” permitted under your Contract. Early Withdrawals could severely reduce, and even terminate, your benefits under IOD III Escalator, including reducing your Account Value to zero and thereby terminating your Contract without value.

In addition to reducing your benefits under IOD III Escalator, any withdrawal before your First Withdrawal Date could have state and federal income tax liability. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Depleting Your Account Value

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal (as described above), then your Stored Income Balance and your Income Benefit Base will both be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value. Therefore, your Contract, as well as any benefits available with IOD III Escalator, will end.

If 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 Withdrawals or Early Withdrawals, your Income Benefit Base will not be reduced. Your Contract will end. You will be entitled to receive annual payments equal to your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your Income Benefit Base. Prior to determining your annual payments, you may increase your Income Benefit Base by any remaining Stored Income Balance as described below. These payments will continue for as long as you live. If you elected joint-life coverage, the payments will continue as long as either you or your spouse are alive as described in this Appendix under “Death of Participant Under IOD III Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage.” 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)
withdrawing your remaining Stored Income Balance;
   
(b)
applying the remaining amount of your Stored Income Balance to increase your Income Benefit Base (and thus the amount of your “annual lifetime payments”); or
   
(c)
using a combination of (a) and (b).

Because the Contract has ended, the amount of these annual lifetime payments will not change and they will not be subject to any withdrawal charges. You should be aware, however, that they could be subject to certain state and federal income tax liability. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Cost of IOD III Escalator

If you elected IOD III Escalator, we will deduct a quarterly fee from your Account Value (“IOD III Escalator Fee”). The IOD III Escalator Fee will be taken as a specific deduction from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter and will equal 0.2750 % of your Fee Base on that day, if you elected single-life coverage (0.3250% for joint-life coverage). On an annual basis, the IOD III Escalator Fee is equal to 1.10% of your Fee Base if you elected single-life coverage (1.30% for joint-life coverage). We reserve the right to increase the percentage rate used to calculate the IOD III Escalator Fee on newly issued Contracts.

During the first Account Year, your Fee Base is equal to your Income Benefit Base. On each Account Anniversary, the Fee Base is recalculated. Your new Fee Base will be reset to equal your Income Benefit Base plus your Stored Income Balance (if any) less your Annual Income Amount (if any) for that year if this recalculated amount is higher than your current Fee Base. In the event that the recalculated amount is not greater than your current Fee Base, we will continue to calculate your IOD III Escalator Fee based upon your current Fee Base until, at least, your next Account Anniversary. Note that, although your IOD III Escalator Fee may increase, it will never decrease.
 
 
For the most part, we calculate your Fee Base only on your Account Anniversary. However, we will recalculate your Fee Base between Account Anniversaries, if you take an Early Withdrawal or Excess Withdrawal or make additional Purchase Payments during your first Account Year.

If you take an Excess Withdrawal during your Stored Income Period, your Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV - SB

If you take an Early Withdrawal, your Fee Base will be decreased by the following formula:

Your new Fee Base =
Fee Base  x
(
AV - WD
)
AV

Where:
   
 
Fee Base =
Your Fee Base immediately prior to the Early/Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
WD =
The amount of the Early/Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
SB =
Your Stored Income Balance (if any) immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
     
 
AV =
Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early/Excess Withdrawal.

Any additional Purchase Payment you make during your first Account Year will increase your Income Benefit Base as described in this Appendix under “Determining Your Income Benefit Base.” Therefore, your Fee Base will increase by any additional Purchase Payments made.

Here is an example of how we calculate your Fee Base.

Assume that you are age 65 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. Assume you elected to participate in IOD III Escalator with single-life coverage and investment performance of the Designated Funds is constant over the years. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Lifetime Income Percentage is 5%. Your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). All values are shown as of the beginning of the Account Year except as otherwise stated.
 
During the Stored Income Period, the Fee Base is reset at the beginning of the Contract Year to equal your Income Benefit Base plus your Stored Income Balance less your Annual Income Amount, if that amount is greater than the previous Fee Base. For example, in Contract Year 4, the Fee Base is set equal to the Income Benefit Base ($100,000) plus the Stored Income Balance ($20,000) less your Annual Income Amount ($5,000) if that amount ($115,000) is greater than the previous Fee Base ($110,000).

Assume, instead, that in your fourth Account Year you take a $20,000 withdrawal. At the beginning of your fifth Account Year, your Income Benefit Base ($100,000) plus your Stored Income Balance ($5,000) less your Annual Income Amount ($5,000) is less than the current Fee Base ($115,000), so there is no change to the Fee Base, as shown below.

On each Account Anniversary thereafter, your Fee Base is recalculated and reset if necessary.

Your IOD III Escalator Fee will not change during an Account Year, unless you take one of the following specific actions:

·
If you make an additional Purchase Payment during your first Account Year, you will increase your Fee Base and thus your IOD III Escalator Fee.
   
·
If you make an Early Withdrawal or an Excess Withdrawal, you will decrease your Fee Base and thus your IOD III Escalator Fee.

In addition, on your Account Anniversary, the IOD III Escalator Fee may also change, if we increase the percentage used to calculate the IOD III Escalator Fee as described below under “Step-Up Under IOD III Escalator.”

The investment performance of the Designated Funds will not affect your IOD III Escalator Fee during an Account Year. However, as stated below under “Step-Up Under IOD III Escalator,” favorable investment performance may cause the Income Benefit Base to increase on an Account Anniversary, and thus increase your IOD III Escalator Fee.

We will continue to deduct the IOD III Escalator Fee until you annuitize your Contract, your Account Value reduces to zero, or your benefits under IOD III Escalator are cancelled as described under “Cancellation of IOD III Escalator” in this Appendix.

Step-Up Under IOD III Escalator

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

·
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.)
   
·
Your Account Value minus your Stored Income Balance must be greater than your current Income Benefit Base. (If you have not yet reached your Stored Income Period and therefore do not yet have a Stored Income Balance, your Account Value must only be greater than your current Income Benefit Base.)

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

·
If we have not had to increase the percentage rate as described above, the percentage rate we use to calculate your IOD III Escalator Fee will remain unchanged and we will automatically step-up your Income Benefit Base.
   
·
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 IOD III Escalator Fee and step-up your Income 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 of your Income Benefit Base 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, we will increase your Income Benefit Base to an amount equal to your Account Value less your Stored Income Balance, if any, provided that such amount exceeds your current Income Benefit Base. Here is an example of how step-up works under IOD III Escalator:

Assume that you are 65 years old when you purchase a Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and that you elect to participate in IOD III Escalator with single-life coverage and do not take any withdrawals. (If you selected joint-life coverage, the numbers shown in the example could be different.) Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Your Annual Income Amount is $5,000 (5% of your Income Benefit Base). Your initial Stored Income Balance is $5,000.
 
Assume that your Account Value grows to $103,000 by the end of Account Year 1. Because your Account Value minus your Stored Income Balance ($103,000 - $5,000) is less than your current Income Benefit Base, you will not step-up.
 
Assume further that your Account Value grows to $113,000 by the end of Account Year 2. Because your Account Value minus your Stored Income Balance ($113,000 - $10,000) is greater than your current Income Benefit Base ($100,000), you will step-up. Your new Income Benefit Base will equal your Account Value minus your Stored Income Balance ($103,000). Your new Annual Income Amount will be $5,150 (5% of your new Income Benefit Base).
 
Assume further that your Account Value grows to $125,150 by the end of Account Year 3. Because your Account Value minus your Stored Income Balance ($125,150 - $15,150) is greater than your current Income Benefit Base ($103,000), you will step-up again. Your new Income Benefit Base will equal your Account Value minus your Stored Income Balance ($110,000). Your new Annual Income Amount will be $5,500 (5% of your new Income Benefit Base).

Your Lifetime Income Percentage will increase if your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown below. After the step-up, your Annual Income Amount will be your Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by your new Income Benefit Base. Your Lifetime Income Percentage is determined, based upon your age at time of step-up, as follows:

Your Age at Step-up*
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 64
4%
65 - 79
5%
80 or older
6%
*If you elected joint-life coverage, the age ranges are based upon the age of the younger spouse
  as described below under “Joint-Life Coverage.”

The above example assumes that you are age 65 at issue, so your Lifetime Income Percentage is set to 5%. Assume instead you are age 77 at issue and have attained age 80 by the end of Account Year 3. When your Income Benefit Base steps-up to $110,000 your new Lifetime Income Percentage is 6% since you are now age 80. Your Annual Income Amount is now $6,600 and your Stored Income Balance becomes $21,750 at the beginning of Account Year 4.

Joint-Life Coverage

On the Issue Date, you have the option of electing IOD III Escalator with single-life coverage or, for a higher IOD III Escalator 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 primary Beneficiary on the Issue Date and remains the sole primary Beneficiary while IOD III Escalator 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 IOD III Escalator is in effect. Whereas single-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount only until any Participant dies, joint-life coverage provides an Annual Income Amount for as long as either you or your spouse is alive. Note that, for joint-life coverage to continue after the death of any Participant, the surviving spouse must elect to continue the contract through the “Spousal Continuance” provision. See also “Death of Participant Under IOD III Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage” in this Appendix.

If you have elected joint-life coverage, the Stored Income Period will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 50. Otherwise it will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 50 if the younger spouse is less than age 50 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.) The First Withdrawal Date will be your Issue Date if the younger spouse is at least age 59. Otherwise it will be the first Account Anniversary after the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 59. The Lifetime Income Percentage will be based on the age of the younger spouse, as shown in the table below.

Age of Younger Spouse at Step-up
Lifetime Income Percentage
50 - 64
4%
65 - 79
5%
80 or older
6%

The Lifetime Income Percentage may increase, in the future, if the age of the younger spouse at time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage as shown in the above table.

The two spouses on the Issue Date are the only two people covered under the joint-life feature. If a Participant 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, your benefits under IOD III Escalator 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. The percentage rate of the fee will not be reduced regardless of any change in life events.

Cancellation of IOD III Escalator

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

Although transfers among the Designated Funds are permitted as described under “Transfer Privilege” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached, IOD III Escalator 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.

IOD III Escalator will also be cancelled for any of the following:

·
upon a termination of the Contract;
·
upon annuitization*; or
·
your Income Benefit Base is reduced to zero as a result of Early or Excess Withdrawals.

*Note that the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date permitted under this Contract is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. See “Selection of Annuity Commencement Date” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

A change in ownership may also cancel your benefits under IOD III Escalator.

Death of Participant Under IOD III Escalator with Single-Life Coverage

If you elected single-life coverage, IOD III Escalator terminates on the death of any Participant 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 primary Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, your spouse has the additional option of electing to participate in a new IOD III Escalator benefit on the original Contract (assuming your surviving spouse meets certain eligibility requirements). If your surviving spouse makes such election, all of the following occur:

·
the new Account Value will be the greater of the Stored Income Balance on the original Contract or the Death Benefit;
   
·
the new percentage rate used to calculate the IOD III Escalator Fee will be set by us based on market conditions at the time and may be higher than the current percentage rate used to calculate the IOD III Escalator Fee;
   
·
the new Income Benefit Base will be equal to the Account Value after any Death Benefit has been credited;
   
·
the new Lifetime Income Percentage will be based on the age of the surviving spouse; and
   
·
the new Stored Income Balance will be reset to zero.

Note that single-life coverage may be inappropriate on a co-owned Contract, because all living benefits will end on the death of any Participant. Note also that Beneficiaries who are not spouses cannot continue the Contract (see “Spousal Continuance” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached) or any living benefits under the Contract.

Death of Participant Under IOD III Escalator with Joint-Life Coverage

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

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

·
the new Account Value will be equal to the Death Benefit;
   
·
the Stored Income Balance will remain unchanged;
   
·
the Income Benefit Base will remain unchanged until the next Account Anniversary when a step-up could apply due to an increase in the Account Value (see “Step-Up Under IOD III Escalator” in this Appendix);
   
·
if the Stored Income Period has not yet begun, the Lifetime Income Percentage will be determined when the Stored Income Period begins (i.e., on the first Account Anniversary following the date the younger spouse attains (or would have attained) age 50);
   
·
if the Stored Income Period has already begun, the Lifetime Income Percentage will be the Lifetime Income Percentage that applied to the Contract prior to the death of the Participant;
   
·
on each Account Anniversary, the Annual Income Amount will be equal to the Income Benefit Base multiplied by the Lifetime Income Percentage; and
   
·
the percentage rate of the IOD III Escalator Fee for the joint-life coverage option will continue for the surviving spouse as it was immediately prior to the death of the Participant.

At the death of the surviving spouse, the Contract, including IOD III Escalator, terminates.

If you purchased joint-life coverage and the deceased Participant’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 IOD III Escalator

Under the terms of IOD III Escalator, 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 Annuity Options available on that date; 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 (or a joint-life annuity, if joint-life coverage was elected at issue and you are still eligible to receive it) with an annualized annuity payment of not less than the Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by 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” in this Appendix.

Certain Tax Provisions

Certain state and federal income tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit, such as IOD III Escalator. If you elected to participate in IOD III Escalator, you may withdraw annual amounts up to the Yearly RMD Amount without affecting your 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 IOD III Escalator as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract’s Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in IOD III Escalator, 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 Account Year, more than one calendar year’s Yearly RMD Amount.

Currently, any withdrawal in excess of the Annual Income Amount or Stored Income Balance that is taken to satisfy the Yearly RMD Amounts will not be treated as an Excess Withdrawal, and will not reduce the Income Benefit Base. However, if there is any material change to the current Code or IRS Rules governing the timing or determination of required minimum distribution amounts, then the Company reserves the right to treat any withdrawal greater than the Annual Income Amount or Stored Income Balance as an Excess Withdrawal which may significantly reduce the Income Benefit Base.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “TAX PROVISIONS - Impact of Optional Death Benefits and Optional Living Benefits” in the prospectus to which this Appendix is attached.

Boehly and Walter ultimately control the Company through the following intervening companies:  Delaware Life, Delaware Life Holdings Parent, LLC, Delaware Life Holdings Parent II, LLC, Delaware Life Equity Investors, LLC, DLICM, LLC and DLICT, LLC. The nature of the business of Messrs. Boehly and Walter and these intervening companies is investing in companies engaged in the business of life insurance and annuities.

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.

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 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.

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 0.15%distribution fee, and the $50 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:

 
·
The assumed rate of earnings will be realistic.
 
·
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.
 
·
Charts comparing accumulation values for tax-deferred and non-tax-deferred investments will depict the implications of any surrender.
 
·
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 Net Investment Factor Calculation

We determine the net investment factor using the following formula:

Investment Factor
=
(
a + b
c
)
- d

where:

 
(a)
is the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account at the end of that Valuation Period;

 
(b)
is the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution made by that Fund during the Valuation Period;

 
(c)
is the net asset value per share of the Fund share at the end of the previous Valuation Period;

 
(d)
is a factor representing the asset-based insurance charges (the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge, and the distribution fee) plus any applicable asset-based charge for an optional benefit for the Valuation Period.

Assume the following facts about a particular Variable Account at the end of the current Valuation Period.

 
(a)
the net asset value of a fund equals $ 18.38
 
(b)
the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distributions equal $0
 
(c)
the net asset value per share of the Fund share at the end of the previous Valuation Period equals $18.32
 
(d)
the factor representing the asset-based insurance charges (the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge, and the distribution fee) plus any applicable asset-based charge for an optional benefit for the Valuation Period equals 0.00004837.

The net investment factor is, therefore, determined as follows:

(18.38 + 0.00) – (.00004837)
=
1.00322674
18.32

Example of Variable Accumulation Unit Value Calculation

We calculate the Variable Accumulation Unit Value for any Valuation Period as follows: we multiply the Variable Accumulation Unit Value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the appropriate Net Investment Factor for the subsequent Valuation Period.

Assume the Variable Accumulation Unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period had been 14.5645672.  Assume that the Net Investment Factor for the subsequent Valuation Period is 1.00321136 as shown in the calculation above.  The value for the current Valuation Period would be, therefore, determined as follows:

(14.5645672 x 1.00321136)
=
14.6113393

ANNUITY PROVISIONS

Determination of Annuity Payments

On the Annuity Commencement Date the Contract’s Accumulation Account will be canceled and its adjusted value will be applied to provide a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity or a combination of both. The adjusted value will be equal to the value of the Accumulation Account for the Valuation Period which ends immediately preceding the Annuity Commencement Date, reduced by any applicable premium or similar taxes and a proportionate amount of the contract maintenance charge to reflect the time elapsed between the last Contract Anniversary and the day before the Annuity Commencement Date.

The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates found in the Contract which are based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year. All variable annuity payments other than the first are determined by means of Annuity Units credited to the Contract. The number of Annuity Units to be credited in respect of a particular Variable Account is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that Variable Account by the Annuity Unit value of that Variable Account for the Valuation Period which ends immediately preceding the Annuity Commencement Date. The number of Annuity Units of each particular Variable Account credited to the Contract then remains fixed unless an exchange of Annuity Units is made as described below. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant, and is equal to the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units of a particular Variable Account credited to the Contract by the Annuity Unit value for the particular Variable Account for the Valuation Period which ends immediately preceding the due date of each subsequent payment.

Annuity Unit Value

The Annuity Unit value for each Variable Account was established at $10.00 for the first Valuation Period of the particular Variable Account. The Annuity Unit value for any subsequent Valuation Period is determined using the following formula:

Annuity Unit Value
=
(A x B) x C

where:

 
A
equals the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period
 
B
equals the Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation Period
 
C
equals a factor to neutralize the assumed interest rate of 3% per year used to establish the annuity payment rates found in the Contract. (This factor is 0.99991902 for a one day Valuation Period.)

Example of Variable Annuity Unit Calculation

Assume the value of an Annuity Unit for the immediately preceding Valuation Period had been 12.3456789. Assume that the Net Investment Factor for the subsequent Valuation Period is 1.00322813 as shown in the calculation above. 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 determined as follows:

(12.3456789 x 1.00322813) x 0.99991902
=
12.3845294

Example of Variable Annuity Payment Calculation

The first Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying the Variable Accumulation Unit value for the Valuation Period (as described under “Example of Variable Accumulation Unit Calculation”) by the annuity payment rate for the age and annuity option elected.

Assume the following facts:

 
·
the Account value being annuitized is made up of a particular Variable Account with 8,765.4321 Variable Accumulation Units;
 
·
at the end of the Valuation Period immediately preceding the Annuity Commencement Date, the Variable Accumulation Unit value and the Annuity Unit value for that Variable Account are 14.5645672 and 12.3456789, respectively;
 
·
the annuity payment rate for the age and option elected is $6.78 per $1,000; and
 
·
on the day prior to the second variable annuity payment date, the Annuity Unit value is 12.3724831.

The first Variable Annuity payment would be determined as follows:

(8,765.4321 x 14.5645672) x 6.78
=
$865.57
1,000

This first Variable Annuity payment of $865.57 represents 70.1112 Variable Annuity Units, which are calculated by dividing the first Variable Annuity Payment by the Variable Annuity Unit value at the end of the Valuation Period immediately preceding the Annuity Commencement Date. In this case, $865.57 divided by 12.3456789.


 
 

 

Subsequent Variable Annuity payments are determined by multiplying the number of Variable Annuity Units (calculated for the first Variable Annuity payment) by the Variable Annuity Unit value at the end of the Valuation Period immediately preceding the annuity payment date. Thus, the second Variable Annuity payment would be determined as follows:

70.1112 x 12.3845467
=
$868.29

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 the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, and variable life insurance contracts issued by the Company.

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.” Total commissions paid by the Variable Account to, but not retained by, Clarendon during 2011, 2012, and 2013, were approximately $29,279,164, $26,895,457, and $89,921,647, respectively.

CUSTODIAN

We are the Custodian of the assets of the Variable Account.  We will purchase Fund shares at net asset value in connection with amounts allocated to the Sub-Accounts in accordance with your instructions, and we will redeem Fund shares at net asset value for the purpose of meeting the contractual obligations of the Variable Account, paying charges relative to the Variable Account or making adjustments for annuity reserves held in the Variable Account.

In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design 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.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 
The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the “Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the year then ended.

Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital stock and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance described in Note 1.

Emphasis of Matter

As described in Note 15, the Company recorded a restatement of gross paid-in and contributed surplus and unassigned funds under a quasi-reorganization in the current year.  Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.)
1 Sun Life Executive Park
Wellesley, Massachusetts 02481



We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the "Company"), which comprise the statutory-basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital stock and surplus as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital stock and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the statutory-basis financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Delaware. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statutory-basis financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory-basis financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the statutory-basis financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the statutory-basis financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements in order to design 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

As described in Note 1 of the statutory-basis financial statements, the statutory-basis financial statements are prepared by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S) using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Delaware, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the Insurance Department of the State of Delaware.

The effects on the statutory-basis financial statements of the variances between the regulatory basis of accounting described in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America paragraph, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012.





Opinion on Regulatory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital stock and surplus of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Delaware as described in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements.

Emphasis-of-Matter

As discussed in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements, in 2012, the Company adopted Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle (“SSAP”) No. 101 Income Taxes, A Replacement of SSAP No. 10R and SSAP No. 10.

Other Matter

As discussed in Note 2 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements reflect significant balances and transactions with affiliates. The Company’s admitted assets, liabilities, and capital stock and surplus and results of its operations and cash flows may have been different if these balances and transactions had been with unrelated parties.

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)
(Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Delaware Life Holdings, LLC)

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 AND 2011

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the “Company”) is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware.  The Company is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Delaware Life Holdings, LLC (the “Parent”), a Delaware limited liability company.  Prior to August 2, 2013, the Company was a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. (the “Former Parent”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. (“SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings”).  SLC – U.S. Ops Holdings is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Inc. (“SLF”), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  On December 17, 2012, SLF announced the execution of a definitive agreement to sell its domestic U.S. annuity business and certain life insurance businesses to the Parent including all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (the “Sale Transaction”).  After receiving all required regulatory approvals, the Sale Transaction closed on August 2, 2013 with an effective date of August 1, 2013.  In connection with the Sale Transaction and after receiving necessary regulatory approvals, certain transactions were executed prior to close.  (Refer to Note 2 for additional information.)

The Company is authorized to transact business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  In addition, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York (“SLNY”), is authorized to transact business in the State of New York and Rhode Island.  The business of the Company and its subsidiaries includes a variety of wealth accumulation products, protection products and institutional investment contracts.  These products included individual and group fixed and variable annuities, individual and group variable life insurance, individual universal life insurance, group life, group disability, dental and stop loss insurance and funding agreements.

In the normal course of business, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SLNY, reinsure portions of their individual life insurance, annuity, group life insurance, group disability income and stop loss exposure with both affiliated and unaffiliated companies using traditional indemnity reinsurance agreements.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company and SLNY received all necessary insurance regulatory approvals to amend the fixed investment option period in their combination fixed and variable annuity contracts and other contracts to remove any negative market value adjustment (“MVA”) that can decrease the amount of the withdrawal proceeds.  (Refer to Note 12 for additional information concerning MVA contracts.)  The Company and SLNY filed amendments to the associated registration statements to include the contract amendments and to remove from registration any fixed investment options that remained unsold. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared the associated amended registration statements effective on March 22, 2012.  As a result of the foregoing, the fixed investment option period in the contracts is no longer considered a “security” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Company subsequently filed Form 15 on March 23, 2012 to provide notice of suspension of its duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  No other changes were made to the contracts, and all other terms and conditions of the contracts remain unchanged.  The contract amendments described above did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

On December 12, 2011, SLF announced the completion of a major strategic review of its businesses.  As a result of this strategic review, SLF announced that it would close its domestic U.S. variable annuity and individual life products to new sales effective December 30, 2011.  The Company, therefore, closed its variable annuity and individual life products to new sales effective December 30, 2011 and its corporate-owned life insurance was closed to new sales effective January 31, 2012, with certain limited exceptions.

The Company, through its subsidiary, SLNY, continued to offer group life, disability, dental and stop loss insurance.  Effective July 31, 2013, SLNY ceded 100% of its net group life, disability, dental and stop-loss insurance to an affiliate of SLF.

On September 27, 2013, following completion of the Sale Transaction, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to issue funding agreements, fixed annuities, variable annuities, single premium life insurance and private placement products on a fixed and variable basis and to utilize its existing Separate Accounts in connection therewith.  On November 4, 2013, the Company began writing new annuity business with the launch of a fixed annuity.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statutory financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting principles prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance (the “Department”).  The Department recognizes only statutory accounting principles prescribed or permitted by the State of Delaware for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Delaware Insurance Law.  The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted principles by the State of Delaware.  As of December 31, 2009 and until December 31, 2012, the Company had received a permitted practice from the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Delaware (the “Commissioner”) related to Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, A Replacement of SSAP No. 88 (“SSAP No. 97”), specifically paragraph 8.b.i to record the unaudited statutory equity of the Company’s previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Independence Life and Annuity Company (“ILAC”), as an admitted asset.  ILAC was not required to prepare audited financial statements under regulations adopted in its respective states of domicile, Delaware and Rhode Island, for the years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Effective December 10, 2012, after receiving regulatory approval, ILAC redomesticated from the State of Rhode Island to the State of Delaware. The Company would not have triggered a regulatory event if the permitted practice had not been used.  During the first quarter of 2013, the Company distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of ILAC to the Former Parent.  (Refer to Note 2 for additional information concerning the Company’s change of control on August 2, 2013, effective August 1, 2013.)

Accounting principles and procedures of the NAIC as prescribed or permitted by the Department comprise a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The more significant differences that affect the Company are as follows:

Under statutory accounting principles, financial statements are not consolidated.  Investments in domestic life insurance subsidiaries, as defined by SSAP No. 97 are carried at their audited net statutory equity value.  The changes in value are recorded directly to surplus.  Non-public, non-insurance subsidiaries and controlled partnerships are carried at audited GAAP equity value.  Dividends paid by subsidiaries to the Company are included in the Company’s net investment income.

Statutory accounting principles do not recognize the following assets or liabilities, which are recognized under GAAP: deferred policy acquisition costs, unearned premium reserve and statutory non-admitted assets. Deferred policy acquisition costs do create a temporary tax difference as disclosed in Note 14.  An asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) and interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) are established under statutory accounting principles but not under GAAP.  Methods for calculating real estate investment valuation allowances differ under statutory accounting principles and GAAP.  Actuarial assumptions and reserving methods differ under statutory accounting principles and GAAP.  There are certain limitations on net deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) under statutory accounting principles. The MVA contracts are classified within the General Account under GAAP, but are classified within the Separate Account under statutory accounting principles.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(CONTINUED)

Under GAAP, investments in fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale or trading are carried at aggregate fair value.  Changes in unrealized gains and losses are reported net of taxes in a separate component of stockholder’s equity for available-for-sale securities and changes in unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recorded in net investment income.  Fixed maturity securities are generally carried at amortized cost under statutory accounting principles.

All derivatives are used for hedging purposes; however, the Company does not currently believe that the cost of employing hedge accounting is cost justified.  As a result, derivatives are carried at market value on both a U.S. GAAP and NAIC basis.  Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives are recognized in income for U.S. GAAP purposes and flow through surplus on an NAIC basis.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting principles prescribed or permitted by the State of Delaware requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.  It also requires disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The most significant estimates are those used in determining the fair value of financial instruments, allowance for loan losses, aggregate reserves for life policies and contracts, deferred income taxes, provision for income taxes and other-than-temporary-impairments (“OTTI”) of investments.

CORRECTION OF ERRORS

The Company did not have any correction of errors during 2013 or 2012.  Adjustments were recorded during 2011 to correct the Company’s prior year contract loan balances which were overstated due to inaccurate interest rates on certain loan balances related to single premium whole life (“SPWL”) policies. The adjustments were as follows: a decrease to Contract loans of $107.2 million, an increase to Amounts recoverable from reinsurers of $3.0 million, an increase to Other liabilities of $2.3 million, and a decrease to Funds held under coinsurance of $106.5 million. These adjustments did not have an impact on the Company’s surplus or net income for the period the adjustment was made or prior periods due to the 100% funds-withheld reinsurance agreement with the Company’s former affiliate, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (“SLOC”), including its United States Branch (the “U.S. Branch”).

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year financial statement presentation.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, short-term investments, debt and equity securities and mortgage loans.  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.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES             (CONTINUED)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in preparing the accompanying statutory-based financial statements:

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are highly liquid securities.  The Company’s cash equivalents primarily include cash, commercial paper and money market investments which have an original term to maturity of less than three months.  Short-term investments include debt instruments with a term to maturity exceeding three months, but less than one year on the date of acquisition.  Cash equivalents and short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

INVESTMENTS

Debt Securities

Investments in debt securities including bonds, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are stated at amortized cost using the scientific method.  Where the NAIC rating has fallen to 6 and the fair value has fallen below amortized cost, they are stated at fair value.  Adjustments to the value of MBS and ABS securities based on changes in cash flows, including those related to changes in prepayment assumptions, are made retrospectively.  As part of this process, a third-party vendor for each security type was appointed by the NAIC to develop a revised NAIC rating methodology.  The ratings for these residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) were determined by comparing the insurer’s carrying value divided by remaining par value to price ranges provided by the third-party vendors corresponding to each NAIC designation.  Comparisons were initially made to the model based on amortized cost.  Where the resulting rating was a NAIC 6 per the model, further comparison based on fair value was required which, in some cases, resulted in a higher final NAIC rating.

The definition of structured securities under SSAP No. 43R, Loan Backed and Structured Securities – Revised (“SSAP No. 43R”), was modified in 2011 to include within the category of ABS certain debt securities that were previously classified by the Company as issuer obligations.  The types of securities reclassified under the revised definition included certain equipment trust certificates, guaranteed contracts, secured leases and secured contracts.  Note that certain types of ABS and MBS securities do not follow the revised rating methodology described above, including, but not limited to, equipment trust certificates, credit tenant loans, 5*/6* securities, interest only securities, and those with Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) assigned NAIC designations.  Interest income on bonds, MBS, and ABS is recognized when earned based upon estimated principal repayments, if applicable.  For debt securities subject to prepayment risk, yields are recalculated and asset balances adjusted periodically so that expected return on future cash flows matches the expected return over the life of the investment from acquisition.  If the collection of all contractual cash flows is not probable, an OTTI may be indicated.  The process of analyzing securities for an OTTI adjustment is further described in Note 3.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES             (CONTINUED)

Preferred Stocks, Common Stocks and Other Equity Investments

Preferred stocks with an NAIC designation of 1 through 3 are stated at amortized cost.  Those with NAIC designations of 4 through 6 are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.  Common stocks are stated at fair value except investments in subsidiaries.  The latter are carried based on the underlying statutory equity of the subsidiary.  The Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries in accordance with SSAP No. 97 with the exception of the prior permitted practice granted by the Commissioner discussed previously.  The Company has ownership interests in joint ventures and partnerships which are carried at values based on the underlying equity of the investee in accordance with SSAP No. 48, Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies (“SSAP No. 48”), and SSAP No. 93, Accounting for Low Income Housing Tax Credit Property Investments (“SSAP No. 93”).  Audited financial statements are received on an annual basis.  OTTI on stocks is evaluated under the methodology described in Note 3.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of provisions for estimated losses.  Mortgage loans acquired at a premium or discount are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of provisions for estimated losses.  Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recognized or derecognized in the Company’s balance sheet on the loan’s trade date, which is the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the loan.  Transaction costs on mortgage loans are capitalized on initial recognition and are recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations using the effective interest rate method.  Mortgage loans, which primarily include commercial first mortgages, 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 the property’s value at the time that the original loan is made.  The Company regularly assesses the value of the collateral.

A mortgage loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. When a mortgage loan is classified as impaired, allowances for credit losses are established to adjust the carrying value of the loan to its net recoverable amount.

The allowance for credit losses are estimated using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.  A specific allowance for loan loss is established for an impaired loan if the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the loan.  The full extent of impairment in the mortgage portfolio cannot be assessed solely by reviewing these loans individually.  A general allowance for loan loss is established based on an assessment of past loss experience on groups of loans with similar characteristics and current economic conditions.  While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the loan loss allowances, future adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them.

Interest income is recognized on impaired mortgage loans when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows is probable, in which case cash receipts are recorded in accordance with the effective interest rate method.  Interest income is not

recognized on impaired mortgage loans and these mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows is not probable, in which case cash receipts are applied in the following order: first against the carrying value of the loan, then against the provision, and then to income.  The accrual of interest resumes when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows becomes probable based on certain facts and circumstances.

Changes in allowances for losses are recorded as changes in unrealized gains and losses to surplus.  Once the conditions causing impairment improve and future payments are reasonably assured, the mortgages are no longer classified as impaired and the Company resumes accrual of income.  However, if the original terms of the contract have been changed resulting in the Company providing an economic concession to the borrower at below market rates, then the mortgage is reclassified as restructured.

If the conditions causing impairment do not improve and future payments remain unassured, the Company typically derecognizes the asset through disposition or foreclosure.  Uncollectible collateral-dependent loans are written off through realized losses for any difference between the carrying value and amount received for the underlying property at the time of disposition or foreclosure.

Real Estate

Real estate includes properties held for investment and properties held for sale. Real estate held for investment is stated at depreciated cost using the straight-line method net of encumbrances.  Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value less encumbrances and disposition costs.

Contract Loans

Contract loans are carried at the amount of outstanding principal balance.  Contract loans are collateralized by the related insurance policy and do not exceed the net cash surrender value of such policy.

Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve

The AVR is established as a liability based upon a formula prescribed by the NAIC to offset potential credit-related investment losses on all invested assets, with changes in the AVR charged or credited directly to surplus.  The IMR is established as a liability to capture realized gains and losses, net of income tax, on the sale of fixed income investments, principally bonds, mortgage loans and derivatives, resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates, and is amortized into income over the remaining years to expected maturity of the assets sold.

Derivatives

As part of the Company’s overall risk management policy, the Company uses interest rate swaps, over the counter (“OTC”) and listed options, exchange-traded futures, currency forwards, currency swaps and swaptions.  Swaps purchased are stated at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded through unrealized gains/losses within surplus.

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

The Company utilized interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk arising from the variability of cash flows due to certain variable rate funding agreements.  These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.  Interest rate swaps that qualify for hedge accounting treatment were recognized in a manner consistent with the hedged item, at amortized cost.  At the date of designation, the fair value of the associated interest rate swap which had previously been recorded as an unrealized loss to surplus is fixed with subsequent amortization into income through the related policy’s maturity date.  In the event a swap is not proven highly effective, it is stated at fair value and then changes in fair value are recorded through unrealized gains/losses within surplus. These swaps were used to hedge the Medium Term Note program which matured in October, 2013.

The Company utilizes OTC put options and exchange traded futures on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) and other indices to hedge against stock market exposure inherent in the mortality and expense risk charges and guaranteed minimum death and living benefit features of the Company's variable annuities.  These options are stated at fair value.  Changes in fair value for options purchased on January 1, 2003 and after are recorded in unrealized gains/losses within surplus.  The Company also purchases OTC and listed call options and exchange traded futures on the S&P 500 Index and other indices to economically hedge its obligation under certain fixed indexed annuity contracts.  The interest credited on these 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year term products are based on the changes in the S&P 500 Index.

The Company uses currency swaps to hedge against the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.  Currency swaps are marked to market.  Changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains/losses within surplus.  Swaptions are utilized by the Company to hedge exposure to interest rate risk.  At the trade date of a swaption, a premium is paid to the counterparty and recorded as an asset.  At expiration, swaptions either cash settle for value, settle into an interest rate swap or expire worthless.  Swaptions are marked to market and changes in fair value are recorded in unrealized gains/losses within surplus.  Credit valuation adjustments (“CVAs”) are necessary to properly reflect the component of fair value of derivative instruments that arises from default risk.  CVAs are based on a methodology that uses credit default swap (“CDS”) spreads as a key input in determining an implied level of expected loss over the total life of the derivative contract.  Where no observable CDS spreads are available, the counterparty’s or the Company’s credit spreads derived from bond yields are used instead.  CVAs are intended to achieve a fair value of the underlying contracts and are normally based on publicly available information.  The CVAs also take into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Company’s credit exposure to each counterparty, such as collateral and legal rights of offset.  CVAs are not recorded for interest rate swaps used as cash flow hedges when proven highly effective.

POLICY AND CONTRACT RESERVES

The reserves for life insurance and annuity contracts are computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards, and are based on actuarial assumptions and methods (including use of published mortality tables and prescribed interest rates) which produce reserves at least as great as those required by law and/or contract provisions.

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 amounts reported are 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 adjustments are determined to be required.

INCOME TAXES
 
 
The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes and recognizes reserves for income tax contingencies in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes, A Replacement of SSAP No. 10R and SSAP No. 10 (“SSAP No. 101”).  Under the applicable asset and liability method for recording deferred income taxes, deferred taxes are recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances on DTAs are estimated based on the Company’s assessment of the realizability of such amounts.  Refer to Note 14 of the Company’s financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.

INCOME AND EXPENSES

Life premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying period of the related policies.  Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received.  Expenses, such as commissions and other costs applicable to the acquisition of new business are charged to operations as incurred.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company has established unitized Separate Accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing for variable benefits.  Contracts for which funds are invested in the variable Separate Accounts include individual and group life and annuity contracts.

The Company has also established non-unitized separate accounts for certain contracts that include a MVA feature associated with fixed rates, including for amounts allocated to the fixed portion of certain combination fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts.  The assets of the non-unitized Separate Accounts are not legally insulated and can be used to satisfy claims resulting from the general account.  (See Note 12 for additional information.)

Net investment income, capital gains and losses, and changes in mutual fund asset values on the variable Separate Accounts are allocated to policyholders and therefore do not affect the operating results of the Company.  Assets held in the variable Separate Accounts are carried at fair value. The investment risk of such securities is retained by the contractholder.  The Company earns separate account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality risks related to contracts for which funds are invested in variable Separate Accounts.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2013, the NAIC adopted SSAP No. 104 Share-Based Payments (“SSAP No. 104”).  SSAP No. 104 provides statutory accounting principles for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments with employees in share-based payment transactions and adopts, with modification, GAAP guidance for stock options and stock purchase plans within GAAP Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718.  The adoption of the statement did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Effective January 1, 2013, the NAIC adopted SSAP No. 103, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SSAP No. 103”).  SSAP No. 103 replaces SSAP No. 91R of the same name and establishes new conditions for when a transferred financial asset is accounted for as a sale in addition to removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Effective January 1, 2012, the NAIC adopted SSAP No. 101.  Under SSAP No. 101, DTAs are admitted based on a realization threshold limitation table.  The Company recorded the following changes in surplus as of January 1, 2012 a result of the adoption:

Prior to the adoption of SSAP No. 101, the Company accounted for income taxes under SSAP No. 10R, Income Taxes – Revised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10 (“SSAP No. 10R”), which provided for a three-year reversal period and 15% of adjusted surplus.  The application of SSAP No. 10R resulted in an increase of $71.7 million in the Company’s surplus at December 31, 2011.

Effective January 1, 2012, the NAIC revised the disclosure requirements of SSAP No. 100, Fair Value Measurements, to clarify the disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments. The changes in the disclosures have been reflected in Note 13.

Effective December 31, 2011, the NAIC adopted SSAP No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets (“SSAP No. 5R”).   SSAP No. 5R requires entities to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee, even if the likelihood of having to make payments under the guarantee is remote.  Guarantees made to/or on behalf of a wholly-owned subsidiary, and inter-company and related party guarantees that are considered “unlimited”, are exempted from the initial liability recognition.  As such, the guidance did not have a significant impact upon adoption.  The additional disclosures required by SSAP No. 5R have been incorporated in Note 2.

Effective January 1, 2011, the NAIC adopted changes to SSAP No. 43R.  These changes included broadening the definition of loan-backed and structured securities (“LBSS”) and clarification of the requirement to bifurcate realized gains and losses between the AVR and the IMR.  Neither of the changes had a material impact on the Company's statutory net income or surplus.

Effective January 1, 2011, the NAIC adopted SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments (“SSAP No. 35R”).  SSAP No. 35R modifies the conditions required before recognizing liabilities for insurance-related assessments.  The liability is not recognized until the event obligating an entity to pay an imposed or probable assessment has occurred.  The adoption of SSAP No. 35R did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

The Company has a reinsurance agreement with Barbco 3, an affiliate, to cede all of the risks associated with certain in-force corporate and bank-owned variable universal life and private placement variable universal life policies on a combination coinsurance and coinsurance with funds-withheld. (Refer to Note 9 for more detail.)

The surplus notes and accrued interest thereon, are subordinate to payments due to policyholders, claimant and beneficiary claims; as well as all other classes of creditors other than surplus note holders. After payment in full of certain obligations set forth in 18 Del. C. s. 5918, and prior to any payment to a shareholder in respect of such shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company, the holder of the surplus note shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due to the note holder.  Any redemption shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Commissioner.

During 2012, the Company applied for and received approval from the Department for certain modifications to two surplus notes payable to Sun Life Finance. The modifications extended the maturity dates on both surplus notes from December 15, 2015 to December 15, 2032, changed the interest rates from 6.125% per annum and 7.25% per annum to 7.626% per annum and modified the prepayment language in both surplus notes.  These changes were effective October 1, 2012.  The Company expensed $43.3 million, $42.7 million and $42.6 million for interest on these surplus notes for years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Total interest paid through December 31, 2013 is approximately $727.0 million.  There have been no principal payments since original issuance of the above notes.

Each accrual and payment of interest on surplus notes may be made only with the prior approval from the Commissioner and only to the extent the Company has sufficient surplus earnings to make such payment.  The Company received approval for all payments and the related accrual in the amount of $4.3 million, as of December 31, 2013.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with LLC III with an aggregate notional amount of $900.0 million that effectively converted the floating rate payment obligations under the funding agreements to fixed rate obligations.

The account values related to these funding agreements issued to LLC III were reported in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital Stock and Surplus as a component of liability for deposit-type contracts.

On May 17, 2006, the Company issued a floating rate funding agreement of $900.0 million to Sun Life Financial Global Funding II, L.L.C.

Total interest credited for these two funding agreements was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company also issued a $100.0 million floating rate demand note payable to LLC II on May 24, 2006.    On July 19, 2011, the Company paid $100.0 million to LLC II, including $0.01 million in interest due to the maturity of the floating rate demand note.  For interest on this demand note, the Company expensed $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company had entered into an interest rate swap agreement with LLC II with an aggregate notional amount of $900.0 million that effectively converted the floating rate payment obligations under the funding agreement to fixed rate obligations.  This interest swap agreement expired on July 6, 2011 due to the maturity of the underlying floating rate funding agreement with LLC II.

Administrative Service Agreements and Other

The Company is party to various related party agreements.  Certain agreements with former affiliates were amended or terminated upon the close of the Sale Transaction described in Note 1.

For periods prior to August 1, 2013

From January 1, 2011 to July 31, 2013, the Company participated in a pension plan and other retirement plans sponsored by a former affiliate, Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Services Company, Inc. (“Sun Life Services”). Expenses under these plans were allocated to participating companies pursuant to approved inter-company agreements. The allocated expenses to the Company from Sun Life Services were $3.0 million, $18.0 million and $21.9 million for the period ended July 31, 2013 and the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

On December 31, 2009 the Company transferred assets to Sun Life Services, which resulted in a sale-leaseback transaction.  At the time of the transfer, the Company established a liability, which represented the cost of certain of the assets transferred, and had been amortizing the liability over the remaining useful life of the assets on a straight-line basis.  During December, 2012, the value of the assets transferred were written down to zero, and the remaining liability was amortized into income.  The write-off resulted in an increase to surplus of approximately $8.6 million, pre-tax, as the leased assets had been previously non-admitted.  The Company has no remaining future minimum lease payments related to these assets.

and 2012, respectively, under the terms of various management and service contracts which provide for cash settlements on a quarterly or more frequent basis.

Other Sale Related Transactions

During 2013, the Company sold its home office real estate property and three other properties (collectively, the “Property”) to the U.S. Branch, a former affiliate, for a total sale price of $88.0 million.  The Property was recorded as Properties held for sale as of December 31, 2012.  The sale price was equal to the fair market value of the Property, including personal property, fixtures, and equipment installed in or attached to the Property.  The sale of the Property resulted in a gain of $32.3 million.

During the second quarter of 2013, two of the Company's real estate subsidiaries, 7101 France Avenue, LLC and 7101 France Avenue Manager, LLC, were dissolved.  The conduit loan secured by the real estate owned by 7101 France Avenue, LLC was paid and the assets relating to the property were conveyed to the Company.

In connection with the Sale Transaction these assets were subsequently sold to the U.S. Branch, a former affiliate, at fair market value totaling $16.5 million and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $4.9 million.  In addition, one of the Company’s real estate subsidiaries, Sun MetroNorth, LLC, was sold to the U.S. Branch at fair market value totaling $4.9 million, resulting in a loss of $1.5 million.

Four additional real estate properties were also sold to the U.S. Branch, a former affiliate, totaling $44.5 million, resulting in a gain of $6.8 million including one property from the Company’s Separate Accounts for fair value of $0.6 million and a loss of $0.3 million.

The Company sold several mortgage loans to a former affiliate, SLOC, including the U.S. Branch, totaling $28.0 million, resulting in a gain of $0.7 million.  This amount included $7.0 million in mortgage loans from the Company’s Separate Accounts.  The Company also purchased mortgage loans from the U.S. Branch and other former and existing affiliates totaling $34.6 million.

On July 30, 2013, the Company sold a portfolio of externally-managed RMBS and CMBS to a former affiliate, SLOC, at fair market value, totaling $821 million (including $283 million purchased by the U.S. Branch, a former affiliate).  Realized gains of approximately $108 million were recognized upon the sale of the securities.

The Company, as successor to Keyport Life Insurance Company (“Keyport”), which merged with and into the Company at close of business on December 31, 2003, unconditionally guaranteed the full and punctual payment when due of any obligations of its previously wholly-owned subsidiary, ILAC, arising out of or in connection with any insurance or annuity contract (“Contract”) issued by ILAC on or after June 25, 1998. No Contracts were issued by ILAC after June 25, 1998.  In conjunction with the Sale Transaction and the Company’s distribution of ILAC to the Former Parent, this guarantee was terminated in 2013.

The Company, as successor to Keyport, unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment when due of any obligations of Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company (“KBL”) arising out of or in connection with any Contract issued by KBL on or after June 25, 1998 and before December 31, 2002, the date that KBL merged with and into the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SLNY. The purpose of this guaranty was to enhance the financial strength of KBL.  The liability of the Company under the guaranty is unlimited to any specific sum. The guaranty will not exceed contractual obligations to the policyholders of the contracts.  The cash surrender value of these policies at December 31, 2013 was approximately $324.5 million.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was no liability accrued under this guaranty.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

The Company guarantees on a subordinated basis all amounts payable by SLNY to holders of certain deferred combination fixed and variable annuity contracts (“MVA Contracts”) issued by SLNY which include the option to earn a guaranteed fixed return for specified periods (“Guarantee Period”). The Company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and punctual payment when due of all amounts payable by SLNY from a Guarantee Period to any holder. The guarantee is subject to no preconditions other than the failure by SLNY to pay when due any Guarantee Period interests. SLNY registered such Guarantee Period interests under the Securities Act of 1933 with the SEC.  Under the SEC’s rules, implementation of the guarantee permitted SLNY to stop filing periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the purpose of the guarantee was to achieve that result.  The Company’s guarantee in this regard guarantees the payment of amounts payable by SLNY from a Guarantee Period but does not guarantee any other obligations of SLNY under the MVA Contracts.

The obligations under the guarantee are unsecured obligations of the Company and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all other obligations of the Company, except for guarantees which by their terms are designated as ranking equally in right of payment with or subordinate to this guarantee.  The liability of the Company under the guaranty is unlimited to any specific sum.  The guaranty will not exceed contractual obligations to the policyholders of the MVA Contracts.  The total account value of these policies was approximately $10.9 million.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there is no liability accrued under this guaranty.

The Company guaranteed the full and timely payment of the obligations of SLFD, as tenant under a commercial office lease dated April 13, 2007.  Prior to December 31, 2011, SLFD provided written notice to the landlord of its intention to terminate the lease effective January 14, 2013 and paid $3.5 million in surrender considerations.  The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the guarantor could have been required to make under the guarantee was $0.  This guarantee terminated with the termination of the office lease.

The Company recorded tax benefits (expenses) from stock options of approximately $0.5 million, $(0.2) million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Employees of the Company’s former affiliates were participants in a restricted share unit (“RSU”) plan with the Company’s former indirect parent, SLF.

Under the RSU plan, participants were granted units that were equivalent to one common share of SLF stock and had a fair value of a common share of SLF stock on the date of grant.  RSUs earned dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs at the same rate as the dividends on common shares of SLF stock.  The redemption value, upon vesting, was the fair value of an equal number of common shares of SLF stock.  The Company incurred expenses of $7.0 million, $7.8 million and $5.7 million relating to RSUs for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Proceeds from sales and maturities of investments in debt securities during 2013, 2012 and 2011, were $4.1 billion, $2.2 billion, and $3.0 billion, including non-cash transactions of $82.0 million, $19.0 million, and $49.0 million, respectively; gross gains were $264.3 million, $56.8 million and $98.5 million, respectively; and gross losses were $23.4 million, $31.0 million and $26.0 million, respectively.

Debt securities included above with a statement value of approximately $4.2 million for both years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were on deposit with governmental authorities as required by law.

Investment grade debt securities were 96.3% and 93.6% of the Company’s total debt securities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The fair values of publicly traded debt securities are determined using three primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes and pricing models.  Prices are first sought from third- party pricing services with the remaining unpriced securities priced using one of the other two methods.  For privately-placed fixed maturity securities, fair values are estimated using model prices or broker quotes.  A portion of privately-placed fixed maturity securities (typically SEC Rule 144A securities) are priced using market prices.

Structured securities, such as ABS, RMBS and CMBS, are priced using third-party pricing services, a fair value model, 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, RMBS and CMBS.  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. Exposure to any single issuer is less than 10% of net admitted assets.

The fair value of the Company’s preferred stocks is first based on quoted market prices.  Similar to fixed-maturity securities, the Company uses pricing services and broker quotes to price preferred stocks for which the quoted market price is not available.

Other-than-temporary-impairment

The Company recognizes and measures OTTI for ABS and MBS in accordance with SSAP No. 43R. In accordance with SSAP No. 43R, if the fair value of a structured security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the impairment is an OTTI.  When an OTTI has occurred, the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security.

If the Company intends to sell the structured security, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an OTTI is considered to have occurred.  The amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings is the difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security.

If the Company does not intend to sell the structured security, or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company performs cash flow based testing to determine if the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security is less than its amortized cost basis.

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.  Losses incurred on the respective portfolios are based on loss models using assumptions about key systematic risks such as unemployment rates and housing prices and loan specific information such as delinquency rates and loan-to-value ratios.

OTTI was recognized during 2013 on LBSS that the Company had intent to sell in conjunction with the Sale Transaction, as defined in Note 1.  Refer to details in Note 19.  The OTTI balances under SSAP No. 43R where the present value of expected cash flows are less than amortized cost as of December 31, 2013 are also detailed in Note 19.

If the fair value of a debt security, other than those subject to SSAP No. 43R, is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the impairment is an OTTI.  When an OTTI has occurred, the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value.

If the Company intends to sell the debt security, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an OTTI is considered to have occurred.  If the Company does not intend to sell the debt security, or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company employs a portfolio monitoring process to identify securities that are OTTI.

The Company has a Credit Committee comprised of investment and finance professionals which meets at least quarterly to review individual issues or issuers that may be of concern.  In determining whether a security is OTTI, the Credit Committee considers the factors described below.  The process involves a quarterly screening of all securities where fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.  Discrete credit events, such as a ratings downgrade, are also used to identify securities that may be OTTI.  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 position 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.  In making these evaluations, the Credit Committee exercises considerable judgment.  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 Company’s amortized cost will be recovered through timely collection of all contractually specified cash flows, but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require monitoring on a quarterly basis.  No OTTI charge is recorded in the Company’s Statements of Operations for unrealized loss on securities related to these issuers.

DEBT SECURITIES AND PREFERRED STOCKS (CONTINUED)

“Watch List”- Management has concluded that the Company’s amortized cost will be recovered through timely collection of all contractually specified cash flows, but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require continued monitoring during the quarter.  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.  No OTTI charge is recorded in the Company’s Statements of Operations for unrealized loss on securities related to these issuers.

“Impaired List”- Management has concluded that the Company has the intent to sell the security, it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or the amortized cost basis of the security is not expected to be recovered due to expected delays or shortfalls in the contractually specified cash flows.  For these investments, the amount of OTTI recognized in the Company’s Statements of Operations is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value or discounted cash flows.

Should it be determined that a security is other than temporarily impaired, the Company records a loss through an appropriate adjustment in carrying value.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred write-downs of debt securities totaling $38.6 million and $367.6 million, respectively, including those subject to SSAP No. 43R and those which the Company had the intent to sell in connection with the Sale Transaction defined in Note 1.  Of these amounts, no OTTI was related to sub-prime as of December 31, 2013, as compared to $68.4 million as of December 31, 2012.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred write-downs of debt securities totaling $111.4 million, of which $10.1 million was related to sub-prime.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties in management’s evaluation of securities for OTTI.  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 OTTI.

4.
MORTGAGE LOANS (CONTINUED)

The Company had no outstanding mortgage loan commitments on real estate as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Company originated one mortgage loan with a total cost of $15.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 with a rate of 4.54% and originated ten commercial mortgage loans with a total cost of $14.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 with rates ranging from 3.9% to 7.5%.  During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not reduce interest rates on any outstanding mortgage loans.  Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 75% of the properties’ value at the time the original loan is made.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  The allowance for credit losses is estimated using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.  A specific allowance for loan loss is established for an impaired loan if the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the loan collateral, less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the loan.  The specific allowance for loan loss was $4.2 million and $4.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  A general allowance for loan loss is established based on an assessment of past loss experience on groups of loans with similar characteristics and current economic conditions.  The general allowance for loan loss was $11.5 million and $10.8 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowances, future adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them. At December 31, 2013, the Company individually and collectively evaluated loans with a gross carrying value of $764.0 million and $747.8 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2012, the Company individually and collectively evaluated loans with a gross carrying value of $830.3 million and $813.3 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013 the Company held 14 restructured loans with a gross book value of $34.9 million.  Should the Company hold any troubled debt, the Company may modify the terms of a loan by adjusting the interest rate, extending the maturity date, or both.

Delinquency status is determined based upon the occurrence of a missed contract payment.  There were no loans past due greater than 90 days at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Company accrues interest income on impaired loans to the extent it is deemed collectible.  Otherwise, receipts on non-performing loans are not recognized as interest income until the loan is no longer impaired, is sold, or is otherwise made whole.  Any cash collected during the period where the loan is impaired is applied to lower its carrying value.

REAL ESTATE

The Company held four real estate properties for sale at the end of the statement period.  One of the properties was originally acquired by foreclosure from the Company’s mortgage portfolio and the remaining three were acquired through purchase. The properties are expected to be sold within the next statement period.

The Company sold five properties during 2013 that resulted in net realized gains of $44.3 million.  This amount is shown in the Company's Statement of Operations as part of net realized capital gains and losses.  All five properties were disposed of to a former related party in conjunction with the Sale Transaction defined in Note 1.

The Company sold five properties during 2012 including four properties previously impaired that resulted in total net realized gains of $3.4 million as compared to one property sold during 2011 for a net loss of $0.1 million.  These amounts are shown in the Company's Statement of Operations as part of net realized capital gains and losses.

The Company recognized four impairment losses on real estate as of December 31, 2012, as compared to no impairment losses recorded for 2013 or 2011.  All four properties were real estate moved to held for sale during 2012 and were impaired for $1.5 million based on estimated fair value less costs to sell.  The properties were sold during the year for a total realized gain of $0.7 million.  The impairments are shown in the Company's Statement of Operations as part of net realized capital gains and losses.

6.
INVESTMENT GAINS AND LOSSES

Realized capital gains and losses on debt securities, preferred stock, mortgages and interest rate swaps which relate to changes in levels of interest rates are charged or credited to the IMR, net of tax, and amortized into income over the remaining contractual life of the security sold.  Realized gains and losses from the remaining investments are reported, net of tax, on the Statement of Operations, but are not included in the computation of net gain from operations.

Changes in unrealized gains and losses from investments are reported as a component of Capital Stock and Surplus, net of deferred income taxes.

The Company’s policy is to exclude investment income due and accrued with amounts that are over 90 days past due or where the collection of interest is uncertain.  The total amount of investment income due and accrued excluded from surplus for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $4.0 thousand, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million, respectively.

8.
DERIVATIVES

The Company uses derivatives for hedging or replication purposes only.  Interest rate swaps are mainly employed for duration matching purposes.  Combination swaps, comprised of currency and equity returns in combination with interest rate swaps, were used to hedge the Company’s European Medium Term Note program, which matured in 2011.  Beginning in the second quarter of 2005 and continuing into 2006, the Company marketed guaranteed investment contracts to unrelated third parties and entered into funding agreements and interest rate swaps as part of this guaranteed investment program.  The interest rate swaps allowed the Company to lock U.S. dollar fixed rate payments for the life of the contracts.  The Company designated existing interest rate swaps as a cash flow hedge of variable cash payments to be made under the respective funding agreements.  To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the swap had to be highly effective in mitigating the designated risk of the hedged item.  Effectiveness of the hedge was formally assessed and documented at the inception of each hedging relationship and quarterly throughout the life of the hedging relationship.

8.
DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED)

Options are used to hedge equity exposure embedded in contracts issued by the Company and to hedge equity exposure embedded in fixed and variable annuity products.  Futures are used to hedge equity exposure included in the equity indexed annuities, as well as the guaranteed minimum death and living benefit features of the Company’s variable annuities. Currency forwards and swaps are used to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate swaps as well as options, swaptions, and currency swaps are reported at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss reported as an adjustment to surplus.  All futures are marked to market and settled on a daily basis with the gain or loss reported as a component of investment income.  CVAs are necessary to properly reflect the component of fair value of derivative instruments that arises from default risk.  CVAs are based on a methodology that uses CDS spreads as a key input in determining an implied level of expected loss over the total life of the derivative contact. Where no observable CDS spreads are available, the counterparty or Company credit spreads derived from bond yields are used instead.  CVAs are intended to achieve a fair value of the underlying contracts and are normally based on publicly-available information. The CVAs also take into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Company’s credit exposure to each counterparty, such as collateral and legal rights of offset.

CVAs are not recorded for interest rate swaps used as cash flow hedges when proven highly effective.  The Company accounts for its interest rate swaps used as cash flow hedges in accordance with the guidance in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging, Income Generation, and Replication (Synthetic Asset) Transactions, (“SSAP No. 86”).  In accordance with SSAP No. 86, derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in a manner consistent with the hedged item.  The interest rate swaps employed by the Company were designated as cash flow hedges of specific funding agreements; and accordingly, if proven highly effective, the swap will be reported at amortized cost, consistent with the hedged funding agreement.  At initial designation, the fair values of the swaps were recorded into surplus with subsequent amortization into income through the maturity date of the funding agreements.  In the event that a swap is not proven highly effective, it will be recorded at fair value with unrealized gains/losses recorded to surplus. At December 31, 2012, all hedges were highly effective.

Market risk is the risk of loss due to market price changes of the derivative instrument or underlying security or index.  To mitigate this risk the Company matches the market sensitivity of the hedge with the market sensitivity of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

Credit risk is the counterparty credit risk or risk of loss as a result of default or a decline in market value stemming from a credit downgrade of the counterparty to the derivative transaction.  The Company minimizes this risk by entering into derivatives only with counterparties that meet certain criteria, by utilizing standardized agreements, and by limiting counterparty concentrations.

All derivative transactions are covered under standardized contractual agreements with counterparties, all of which include credit-related contingent features.  Certain counterparty relationships also may include supplementary agreements with tailored terms, such as additional triggers for early terminations, acceptable practices related to cross-transaction netting, and minimum thresholds for determining collateral.

DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED)

Credit-related triggers include failure to pay or deliver on an obligation past certain grace periods, bankruptcy or the downgrade of credit ratings to below a stipulated level.  These triggers apply to both the Company and its counterparty.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company pledged $371.3 million and $185.2 million, respectively, in U.S. Treasury securities as collateral to counterparties.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, counterparties pledged to the Company $86.8 million and $175.2 million, respectively, in collateral comprised of cash and U.S. Treasury securities.

DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED)

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, open futures contracts had a notional value of $3,803.8 million and $5,223.7 million and a fair value of $(6.2) million and $(50.2) million, respectively.  These amounts do not include the component of variation margin that has already been cash settled.

9.
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 arising from this contingency is unlikely.

On July 31, 2013, the Company consented to a Novation Agreement between the U.S. Branch, a former affiliate, and Barbco 3.  Pursuant to the Novation Agreement, Barbco 3 was substituted as reinsurer under a June 12, 2000 reinsurance agreement between the Company and the U.S. Branch, whereby the Company ceded to the U.S. Branch, on a yearly renewable term basis, certain risks under group flexible premium variable universal life policies.  Refer to Note 2 for further details.

The Company manages a closed block of SPWL insurance policies, a retirement-oriented tax-advantaged life insurance product.  The Company discontinued sales of SPWLs in response to certain tax law changes in the 1980s.  The Company had SPWL policyholder balances of $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  On December 31, 2003, this entire block of business was reinsured on a funds withheld basis with SLOC, a former affiliate company.  As discussed in Note 2, in connection with the Sale Transaction, the Company recaptured 100% of the risks reinsured pursuant to this agreement.  The recapture occurred during the first quarter of 2013.

The Company  has a reinsurance agreement with Barbco 3, an affiliate, to cede all of the risks associated with certain in-force corporate and bank-owned variable universal life and private placement variable universal life policies on a combination coinsurance and coinsurance with funds-withheld.  This agreement also provided for the ceding of new business written after the effective date.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company and Barbco 3 amended the agreement to include coverage of certain corporate and bank-owned variable universal life and private placement variable universal life insurance cases sold between December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, inclusive.  Reinsurance coverage continued for all cases sold prior to April 1, 2010.  However, cases sold on or after April 1, 2010 have not been reinsured.  This amendment also enabled the Company to discontinue reinsuring a portion of the covered business that was previously reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis, effective April 1, 2010.  The discontinuance of the business reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has agreements with several unrelated companies, which provide for reinsurance of portions of the net-amount-at-risk under certain individual variable universal life, individual universal life, individual private placement variable universal life, corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies.  These amounts are reinsured on either a monthly renewable, yearly renewable term, or modified coinsurance basis.

RESERVES FOR LIFE CONTRACTS AND DEPOSIT TYPE CONTRACTS

The reserves for life insurance and annuity contracts are computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards, and are based on actuarial assumptions and methods (including use of published mortality tables and prescribed interest rates and methodologies) which produce reserves at least as great as those required by law and contract provisions.

Deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and return of any portion of the final premium for the period beyond the date of death are not applicable to the business of the Company.  Surrender values are not promised in excess of reserves legally computed.

For policies with annual extra premiums, additional reserves are held equal to one-half the extra premium.  Extra premiums on single premium policies are amortized over ten years.  Policies issued with premiums corresponding to ages higher than the true ages are valued at the rated-up ages.  Policies issued subject to
a lien are valued as if the full amount were payable without any deduction.  For interest sensitive policies, substandard mortality is reflected in the cost of insurance charges.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $16.0 million and $18.7 million, respectively, of insurance in force (direct and assumed), for which gross premiums were less than the net premiums according to the standard of valuation required by the State of Delaware.  Reserves (direct and assumed) to cover the above insurance as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $2.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

The Tabular Interest has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions, except for some business for which the Tabular Interest is determined from basic policy data for reserving.  The Tabular less Actual Reserve Released has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions. The Tabular Cost has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions, except for universal life products which use cost of insurance and some business which uses basic policy data for reserving.  The Tabular Interest on funds not involving life contingencies was determined from the interest credited to the deposits, except for certain guaranteed interest contracts for which Tabular Interest on funds is determined by formula as described in the instructions.  Other than normal updates of reserves, the only significant reserve changes as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were the changes in additional reserves held due to asset adequacy analysis testing.  Direct asset adequacy reserves were $236.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company has established unitized Separate Accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing for variable benefits.  Contracts for which funds are invested in unitized variable Separate Accounts include individual and group life and annuity contracts.  The assets (securities) in these unitized accounts are carried at fair value and the investment risk associated with such assets is retained by the contractholder.  These variable products provide minimum death benefits, and in certain annuity contracts, minimum accumulation or withdrawal benefits.  The minimum guaranteed benefit reserves associated with the unitized Separate Accounts are reported in Aggregate reserves for life contracts in the Company’s Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital Stock and Surplus.

The Company has also established non-unitized Separate Accounts for certain contracts that include a MVA feature associated with fixed rates, including for amounts allocated to the fixed portion of certain combination fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts.  The assets in the variable deferred annuity Separate Account are carried at fair value. For some MVA Contracts, the assets in the fixed deferred annuity account are carried on a general account basis.

The Company earns separate account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality risks related to variable contracts.  Net investment income, capital gains and losses, and changes in mutual fund asset values on variable Separate Accounts are allocated to policyholders and therefore are not reflected in the Statements of Operations of the general account.
 
 
For the current reporting year, the Company reported assets and liabilities from the following products into a Separate Account:

 
·
Sun Life (U.S.) Variable Life
 
·
Sun Life (U.S.) Variable Annuity
 
·
Sun Life (U.S.) Market Value Adjusted Annuity

A majority of the variable Separate Account assets are legally insulated from the Company’s general account whereas the non-unitized Separate Account assets are not legally insulated.  The legal insulation of the Separate Account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account.  In accordance with the domiciliary state procedures for approving items within the Separate Account, the Separate Account classification of legally insulated, vs. not legally insulated, is supported by section 2932 of the Delaware Insurance Code.

The Company maintained separate account assets totaling $30,514.7 million and $31,948.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s separate account assets included legally insulated assets of $28,916.1 million and $30,012.1 million, respectively.

Separate account liabilities are determined in accordance with prescribed actuarial methodologies, which approximate the fair value of the related assets less applicable surrender charges.  The resulting surplus is recorded in the general account Statement of Operations as a component of Net Transfers (from) to Separate Accounts.  The variable Separate Accounts are non-guaranteed Separate Accounts, wherein the policyholder assumes substantially all the investment risks and rewards, and MVA Separate Accounts are guaranteed Separate Accounts, wherein the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the policyholder.  In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account.

The Company had $25,902.5 million and $25,687.6 million of non-guaranteed Separate Account reserves and $1,223.2 million and $1,644.7 million of guaranteed Separate Account reserves as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the general account of the Company had a maximum guarantee for Separate Account liabilities of $20,132.6 million and $22,695.0 million, respectively.

To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the Separate Account paid risk charges of $238.7 million, $191.1 million and $182.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s general account paid $115.6 million, $110.1 million and $88.4 million for Separate Account guarantees, respectively.

The Company does not engage in securities lending transactions within the Separate Account.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches.  The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company has categorized its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).  If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Company’s Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital Stock and Surplus are categorized as follows:

Level 1

·  
Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

The types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 valuations include U.S. Treasury and agency securities, investments in publicly-traded mutual funds with quoted market prices, and exchange traded derivatives.

Level 2

·  
Quoted prices in markets that are not active or significant inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 2 inputs include the following:

· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,
· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets,
· Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, and
 
· Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

The types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 valuations generally include U.S. Government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the government, municipal bonds, structured notes, certain ABS (including collateralized debt obligations, RMBS, CMBS), certain corporate debt, certain private equity investments and certain derivatives.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Level 3

·  
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  They reflect management's opinions regarding the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Generally, the types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 valuations are certain ABS, RMBS, and CMBS, certain corporate debt, certain private equity investments, certain mutual fund holdings, and certain derivatives.

There were no significant changes made in valuation techniques during 2013 or 2012.

The methods and assumptions that the Company uses in determining the estimated fair value of its financial instruments are summarized below:

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments – The carrying value for cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature and liquidity of the balances.

Debt securities – The Company determines the fair value of its publicly-traded fixed maturity securities using three primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes and pricing models.  Prices are first sought from third-party pricing services with the remaining unpriced securities priced using one of the other two 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 models to develop a security price based on future expected cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate using collateral performance and vintages.  The Company generally does not adjust quotes or prices obtained from brokers or pricing services.

Structured securities, such as ABS, RMBS and CMBS, are priced using third-party pricing services, a fair value model, 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, RMBS and CMBS.  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.

13.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

For privately-placed fixed maturity securities, fair values are estimated using model prices or broker quotes. A portion of privately-placed fixed maturity securities (typically SEC Rule 144A securities) are priced using market prices.

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.

Common and Preferred Stocks – The fair value of the Company’s equity securities not accounted for under the equity method is first based on quoted market prices.  Similar to fixed-maturity securities, the Company uses pricing services and broker quotes to price the equity securities for which the quoted market price is not available.

Mortgage loans – The fair values of mortgage loans 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.

Derivatives - The fair values of swaps are based on current settlement values, dealer quotes and market prices.  Fair values for options and futures are also based on dealer quotes, internal models and market prices.

Contract loans - The fair value of policy loans is determined by estimating future policy loan cash flows and discounting the cash flows at a current market interest rate.

Other invested assets - Other invested assets (excluding investments accounted for under the equity method) include low income housing tax credits (“LIHTC”), surplus debentures, collateral loans and equipment lease trusts.  The fair value of LIHTCs and equipment leases approximate their carrying values. The fair values of surplus debentures and collateral loans are based upon the same methods used for other private placements as described above.

Separate Accounts – The estimated fair values of assets and liabilities are valued with the same methodology described above.  The difference between Separate Account assets and liabilities reflected above and the total recognized in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus represents amounts that are considered non-financial instruments.

Contractholder deposit funds - The fair values of the Company’s general account liabilities under investment-type contracts (insurance and annuity contracts that do not involve mortality or morbidity risks) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or surrender values.  Those contracts that are deemed to have short-term guarantees have a carrying amount equal to the estimated fair value.

Debt - The fair value of debt is based on future cash flows discounted at the stated interest rate, considering all appropriate terms of the related agreements.  Due to certain provisions included in such agreements, whereby the issuer of the notes has the ability to call each note at par, the fair value is equal to par value.  Debt includes borrowed money and surplus funds.

14.                 FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The application of SSAP No. 101 requires a company to evaluate the recoverability of DTAs and to establish a valuation allowance if necessary to reduce the DTA to an amount which is more likely than not to be realized.  Considerable judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, and if so, the amount of such valuation allowance.  In connection with the Sale Transaction as defined in Note 1, the Company and its Former Parent will make an election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d) for the Former Parent to retain the Company’s tax attributes as of July 31, 2013 related to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward, capital loss carryforward and deferred acquisition cost.  The Sale Transaction closed on August 2, 2013 with an effective date of August 1, 2013 and the DTAs related to these items were transferred to the Former Parent as of July 31, 2013.  Therefore, since the valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2012 was related specifically to these items and the fact that they were to be retained by the Former Parent, the valuation allowance was released on July 31, 2013.

The following table provides the components of the Company’s net DTAs and DTLs as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

At December 31, 2013, the Company has no income taxes incurred in the current or preceding years that will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses.

The Company has no deposits admitted under section 6603 of the Internal Revenue code.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of tax contingencies computed in accordance with SSAP No. 101 and SSAP No. 5R is as follows:

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) in income tax expense.  The Company had no accrued interest balance as of December 31, 2013.  The Company had an accrued interest balance of $6.3 million as of December 31, 2012. The Company recognized $0.5 million and $2.9 million in gross interest benefit related to UTB during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The Company has not accrued any penalties related to UTB.

Tax years prior to 2003 are closed to examination and audit adjustments under the applicable statute of limitations.  The Company is subject to ongoing examinations for subsequent tax years as a member of the Former Parent’s consolidated federal income tax returns.  Tax years 2007, 2008 and 2009 for the consolidated return are in the initial stages of the appeals process.  The 2003 through 2006 tax years for the consolidated return are still in the appeals process with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).  Although the Company remains jointly and severally liable for consolidated tax liabilities, the Company is held harmless by the Former Parent in accordance with the Sale Transaction agreement and believes that the possibility of a tax liability for the pre-sale tax years is remote.  Additionally, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions for its federal income tax return that would be material to its financial condition, results of income, or cash flows.  Therefore, the Company did not record a liability for UTB at December 31, 2013.  As of December 31, 2013, there were no positions for which management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of tax contingencies will significantly increase within 12 months of the reporting date.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company will file a consolidated federal income tax return for the stub period January 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013 with the following affiliates and former affiliates:

*As a result of the Sale Transaction described in Note 1, the Company and its affiliates exited the consolidated group mentioned above as of August 2, 2013.  The Company will file a separate consolidated federal income tax return for the period August 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 with its subsidiary, SLNY, and will continue to do so in future tax years under Internal Revenue Code Section 1504 (c)(1).  Clarendon will file a stand-alone tax return through 2018 until it is allowed to join the new consolidated group in 2019 per Internal Revenue Code Section 1504 (c)(2)(A).

The method of allocation of the total consolidated federal income tax among the members of the consolidated tax group is subject to written agreements, approved by the Board of Directors.  Under these agreements, income tax amounts are allocated based upon the separately calculated liability of each consolidated member of the group with credit provided for losses that were utilized by other group members.  Following the Sale Transaction, the Company exited the Former Parent’s consolidated federal income tax return and is no longer a party to the tax allocation agreement with its former affiliates.  Final tax settlements were agreed to with the Former Parent and no future tax allocations are expected to occur with the Former Parent.

For periods after the Sale Transaction, a formal tax allocation agreement has not yet been implemented, but the methodology remains the same except that the members of the group have changed.  Allocation is based upon separate return calculations with current credit (benefit) given for losses and tax attributes that are utilized by the consolidated group.  Intercompany tax balances are settled on a quarterly basis and a final true up is made after the filing of the federal income tax return, as prescribed by the terms of the agreement.

CAPITAL STOCK AND SURPLUS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had 6,437 shares issued and outstanding with a par value of $1000 per share.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is subject to certain statutory restrictions. The State of Delaware has enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by domestic insurers.  Pursuant to Delaware's statute, the maximum amount of dividends and other distributions that a domestic insurer may pay in any twelve-month period without the prior approval of the Commissioner is limited to the greater of:  (i) 10% of its statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31; or (ii) the Company's statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year.  Any dividends to be paid by an insurer, whether or not in excess of the aforementioned threshold, from a source other than statutory surplus would also require the prior approval of the Commissioner.  In connection with the change in control of the Company effective August 1, 2013, any portion of a dividend which would cause the Company’s total adjusted capital as of the most recent calendar quarter end to fall below three hundred percent of Company Action Level NAIC risk-based capital as of such calendar quarter end, after taking into account the payment of such dividend, requires the prior approval of the Department.

No dividends were paid to the Parent or Former Parent during 2013 or 2012.  Extraordinary dividends of $300 million were paid to the Former Parent during 2011.

As discussed in Note 2, there were two distributions from gross paid in and contributed surplus during 2013, to the Former Parent.

The Company recorded a restatement of gross paid-in and contributed surplus and unassigned funds under a quasi-reorganization pursuant to SSAP No. 72, Surplus and Quasi-reorganizations.  The restatement was recorded as of June 30, 2013 and did not change the Company’s total surplus. The quasi-reorganization was approved by the Department.

The impact of the quasi-reorganization was as follows:

16.
RISK-BASED CAPITAL

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk-based Capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC.  The RBC requirements provide a method for measuring the minimum acceptable amount of adjusted capital that a life insurer should have, as determined under statutory accounting principles, taking into account the risk characteristics of its investments and products.  The Company has met the minimum RBC requirements at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

17.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Contingent commitments

The Company had commitments for partnership investments of $3.7 million and $11.5 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Regulatory and industry developments

Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants.  Most of these laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency 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.

The liquidation of Executive Life Insurance Company, along with other insolvencies reported by the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations, will result in retrospective premium-based guaranty fund assessments against the Company.  Based on the best information available, the Company has recorded an accrued liability of $4.1 million and $10.2 million for guaranty fund assessments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The Company does not know the period over which the guaranty fund assessments are expected to be paid.

The Company has not established any asset for premium tax credits or policy surcharges as their recoveries are not estimable.

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 DRD on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity contracts.  Revenue Ruling 2007-61 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.  On May 30, 2010, the IRS issued an Industry Director Directive which makes it clear that IRS interpretations prior to Revenue Ruling 2007-54 should be followed until new regulations are issued.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

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.  This issue was included in the 2012-2013 Priority Guidance Plan, issued on November 19, 2012, as one of the projects the IRS intended to work on in 2013.  The IRS did not reach any conclusion in 2013 and therefore included the issue again in the 2013-2014 Priority Guidance Plan issued on January 29, 2014.  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 years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s financial statements reflect benefits of $13.4 million, $11.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively, 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.

Indemnities

In the normal course of its business, the Company has entered into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as contracts with advisors and consultants, outsourcing agreements, underwriting and agency agreements, information technology agreements, distribution agreements, and service agreements.  The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors, officers and employees in accordance with the Company’s by-laws.  The Company believes any potential liability under these agreements is neither probable nor estimable.  Therefore, the Company has not recorded any associated liability.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) among SLF and its affiliates and the Parent, SLF is required to indemnify the Parent, the acquired companies, including the Company and SLNY, and their respective affiliates from and against (i) breach by SLF of customary representations, warranties and covenants of SLF set forth in the SPA and (ii) other specified matters, including losses arising from pending or threatened litigation as of the signing or closing of the Sale Transaction (August 2, 2013), certain excluded assets that were transferred from the acquired companies to SLF and its affiliates at or prior to closing of the Sale Transaction, including the group insurance business previously conducted by SLNY, certain environmental liability and certain liabilities arising under unclaimed property law.

Pledged or Restricted Assets

The following assets were restricted at December 31, 2013 and reported in the current financial statements:

 
·
Repurchase agreements posted collateral which were reported as bonds and preferred stocks.
 
·
Reverse repurchase agreements posted cash collateral which was reported as cash equivalents.
 
·
Certain bonds were on deposit with governmental authorities as required by law.
 
·
Certain cash deposits were held in a mortgage escrow account (see "Other restricted assets" below)

Lease Commitments

Effective August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its home office.  Rental expenses for 2013 were $0.9 million.  Future minimum lease payments are $3.6 million.

From January 1, 2011 to July 31, 2013, the Company leased equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements.  Rental expenses, including allocated amounts, for 2013, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $2.5 million, $5.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 26, 2014, the Company paid an ordinary dividend of $185.0 million to the Parent.

On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (the"Facility") with Bank of America Merrill Lynch.  Borrowings under the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes.  Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR + 125 basis points, with a commitment fee of 30 basis points for any unused portion of the Facility, and the Facility has a 180 day tenor.  The Facility is secured by certain securities held in an account established for this purpose, and borrowings are limited to a specified percentage of the value of the securities in this account.

Subsequent events were evaluated through the issuance of the audited statutory financial statements, which were made available on April 29, 2014.  No events were identified subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Annual Statement on March 1, 2014, other than those disclosed above.

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, 2012, by correspondence with the mutual fund companies.  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, 2012, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013

 
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account F (the “Variable Account”) is a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the “Sponsor”) and was established on July 13, 1989 as a funding vehicle for the variable portion of Regatta contracts, Regatta Access contracts, Regatta Choice contracts, Regatta Choice II contracts, Regatta Classic contracts, Regatta Extra contracts, Regatta Flex II contracts, Regatta Flex 4 contracts, Regatta Gold contracts, Regatta Platinum contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Access contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice II contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra II contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex II contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters I Share contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters IV contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters VII 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 amended, as a unit investment trust existing in accordance with the regulations of the Delaware Insurance Department.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into “Sub-Accounts”. Each Sub-Account is invested in shares of a specific mutual fund (collectively the “Funds”), or series thereof, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The contract owners of the Variable Account direct the deposits into the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.

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.  Assets applicable to the Variable Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor may conduct.

On December 17, 2012, Sun Life Financial Inc., the Sponsor’s indirect parent company, announced the execution of a definitive agreement to sell its domestic U.S. annuity business and certain life insurance businesses to Delaware Life Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“the Sale Transaction”).  As part of the Sale Transaction, Delaware Life Holdings, LLC would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Sponsor.  After receiving all required regulatory approvals, the Sale Transaction closed on August 2, 2013 with an effective date of August 1, 2013.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Sponsor’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuation and Transactions
Investments made in mutual funds are carried at fair value and are valued at their closing net asset value as determined by the respective mutual fund, which in turn value their investments at fair value, as of December 31, 2013.  Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the first in, first out basis.  Dividend income and realized gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares and recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Units
The number of units credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to a Sub-Account by the unit value for that Sub-Account for the period during which the purchase payment was received.  The unit value for each Sub-Account is established at $10.00 for the first period of that Sub-Account and is subsequently measured based on the performance of the investments and the contract charges selected by the contract holder, as discussed in note 5.

Purchase Payments
Upon issuance of new Contracts, the initial purchase payment is credited to the contract in the form of units.  All subsequent purchase payments are applied using the unit values for the period during which the purchase payment is received.

Transfers
Transfers between Sub-Accounts requested by contract owners are recorded in the new Sub-Account upon receipt of the redemption proceeds at the net asset value at the time of receipt.  In addition, transfers can be made between the Sub-Accounts and the “Fixed Account”.  The Fixed Account is part of the general account of the Sponsor in which purchase payments or contract values may be allocated or transferred.




SUN LIFE OF CANADA (U.S.) VARIABLE ACCOUNT F (REGATTA)
(A Separate Account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.))

 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Withdrawals
At any time during the accumulation phase (the period before the first annuity payment), the contract owner may elect to receive a cash withdrawal payment under the contract.  If the contract owner requests a full withdrawal, the contract owner will receive the value of their account at the end of period, less the contract maintenance charge for the current contract year and any applicable withdrawal charge.

If the contract owner requests a partial withdrawal, the contract owner will receive the amount requested less any applicable withdrawal charge and the account value will be reduced by the amount requested.  Any requests for partial withdrawals that would result in the value of the contract owner’s account being reduced to an amount less than the contract maintenance charge for the current contract year is treated as a request for a full withdrawal.

Annuitization
On the annuity commencement date, the contract's accumulation account is canceled and its adjusted value is applied to provide an annuity. The adjusted value will be equal to the value of the accumulation account for the period that ends immediately before the annuity commencement date, reduced by any applicable premium taxes or similar taxes and a proportionate amount of the contract maintenance charge.

Annuity Payments
The amount of the first variable annuity payment is determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates found in the contract.  The number of units to be credited in respect of a particular Sub-Account is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that Sub-Account by the annuity unit value of that Sub-Account for the period that ends immediately before the annuity commencement date. The number of units of each Sub-Account credited to the contract then remains fixed, unless an exchange of units is made. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant, depending on the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts.

Federal Income Taxes
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 (the “Code”). Under existing federal income tax law, investment income and realized gain distributions earned by the Variable Account on contract owner reserves are not taxable, and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.  In the event of a change in applicable tax law, the Sponsor will review this policy and if necessary a provision may be made in future years.

Accounting for Uncertain Tax Provisions
The 2003 through 2013 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. Although the Sponsor remains jointly and severally liable for consolidated tax liabilities, the Sponsor is held harmless by its former parent in accordance with the Sale Transaction and believes that the possibility of a tax liability for the pre-sale tax years is remote. Additionally, management evaluates whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required as of December 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. The most significant estimates are fair value measurements of investments and the calculation of the reserve for variable annuities.  Actual results could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates.

Subsequent events
Management has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2013 noting there are no subsequent events requiring accounting adjustments or disclosure.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”.  This ASU clarifies the scope of offsetting disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”.  Under ASU 2013-01, the disclosure requirements would apply to derivative instruments accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements that are either offset on the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  Entities with other types of financial assets and financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement also are affected because these amendments make them no longer subject to the disclosure requirements in ASU No. 2011-11.

Effective January 1, 2013, companies are required to disclose (a) gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities; (b) gross amounts offset in the statement of financial position; (c) net amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the statement of financial position; (d) gross amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement not offset in the statements of financial position; and (e) net amounts after deducting (d) from (c). The disclosure should be presented in tabular format (unless another format is more appropriate) separately for assets and liabilities. The intent of the new disclosure is to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  The Variable Account adopted ASU 2013-01 on January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Variable Account’s financial statements.

In October 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements”.  The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Codification. The technical corrections (Section A) are divided into three main categories: (1) Source literature amendments – amendments to carry forward the original intent of certain pre-Codification authoritative literature that was inadvertently altered during the Codification process, (2) Guidance clarification and reference corrections – changes in wording and references to avoid misapplication or misinterpretation of guidance, and (3) Relocated guidance – moving guidance from one part of the Codification to another to correct instances in which the scope of pre-Codification guidance may have been unintentionally narrowed or broadened during the Codification process. The purpose of Section B of ASU 2012-04 is to conform the use of the term “fair value” throughout the Codification “to fully reflect the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements” of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. These provisions are effective upon issuance, except for amendments that are subject to transition guidance discussed below. The Variable Account adopted the provisions of ASU 2012-04 on October 1, 2012.  The adoption did not impact the Variable Account’s financial statements or disclosures.

On January 1, 2013, the Variable Account adopted the amendments to ASU 2012-04 that are subject to transition guidance.  The adoption did not impact the Variable Account’s financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2011, FASB  issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRS,” which change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  Many of the requirements in this update are not meant to result in a change in application of the requirements of Topic 820, but to improve upon an entity’s consistency in application across jurisdictions to ensure that GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way.  The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are effective, on a retrospective basis, for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  On January 1, 2012, the Variable Account adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-04. The adoption did not impact the Variable Account’s financial statements or disclosures.

In June 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08, “Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements,” Which amends the criteria an entity would need to meet to qualify as an investment company under ASC 946.  The amendments clarify the characteristics of an investment company and provide comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company.  ASU 2013-08 also requires entities to disclose their status as an investment company and investment companies to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting.  The amendments in ASU 2013-08 are effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited.  The Variable Account will adopt ASU 2013-08 and does not expect its requirements to have a significant impact on the Variable Account’s financial statements.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 
The Sub-Accounts’ investments are carried at fair value.  Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from a sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  As a basis for considering such assumptions, Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value (i.e., 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 Variable Account 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. Topic 820 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.

The Variable Account has categorized its financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into the three level hierarchy described above.  If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

As of December 31, 2013, the inputs used to price the Funds are observable and represent Level 1 assets under the Topic 820 hierarchy levels. There were no Level 2 or 3 investments in the Variable Account during the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Level 1 assets held by the Variable Account was $17,109 million.  There were no transfers between levels during the period.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2013, Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”), an affiliate of the Sponsor prior to the Sale Transaction, is the investment advisor to certain Funds and charges a management fee at an annual rate ranging from 0.40% to 1.05% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.

MFS does not charge a management fee for Sub-Accounts 6XX, 7XX, and 8XX.

For additional related party transactions, see Notes 5 and 6.

 
5. CONTRACT CHARGES

Mortality and expense risk charges
Charges for mortality and expense risks, the optional death benefit riders and optional living benefit riders are based on the average daily Variable Account assets and are deducted from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period to cover the risks assumed by the Sponsor.  These charges are reflected in the Statement of Operations.

Distribution and administrative expense charges
For assuming the risk that surrender charges may be insufficient to compensate the Sponsor for the costs of distributing the Contracts, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the Sub-Account at the end of each valuation period for the first seven account years at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily value of the contract invested in the Sub-Account attributable to Regatta, Sun Life Financial Masters VII, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra II, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice and Sun Life Financial Masters Choice II, and at an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily value of the contract invested in the Sub-Account attributable to Sun Life Financial Masters IV, Sun Life Financial Masters Access, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex and Sun Life Financial Masters Flex II. There are no distribution charges associated with the other contracts listed in note 1.

Additionally, for Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Classic, Regatta Platinum, Regatta Extra, Regatta Access, Regatta Choice, Regatta Flex 4, Regatta Flex II, Regatta Choice II, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice, Sun Life Financial Masters Access, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex, Sun Life Financial Masters IV, Sun Life Financial Masters VII, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra II, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex II, Sun Life Financial Masters I Share, and Sun Life Financial Masters Choice II contracts, an administrative expense charge is deducted from the assets of the Variable Account at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% of the average daily Variable Account value.  This charge is designed to reimburse the Sponsor for expenses incurred in administering the Contracts, the accounts and the Variable Account that are not covered by the annual account administration fee (“Account Fee”).  Distribution and administrative expense charges are reflected in the Statement of Operations.

Optional living benefit rider charges (“Benefit Fee”) (Continued)
Secured Returns, Secured Returns 2, Secured Returns for Life, Secured Returns for Life Plus, Income on Demand, and Retirement Asset Protector were the only optional living benefits available on Regatta Flex II and Regatta Choice II contracts.

Premium Taxes
A deduction, when applicable, is made for premium taxes or similar state or local taxes.  It is currently the policy of the Sponsor to deduct the taxes at the annuity commencement date.  However, the Sponsor reserves the right to deduct such taxes when incurred.

6. RESERVE FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES

Reserve for variable annuities represents the actuarial present value of future contract benefits for those contract holders who are in the payout phase of their contract and who chose the variable payout option. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates prior to January 1, 1987 are calculated using the 1971 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates on or between January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1998 are calculated using the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates on or after January 1, 1999 are calculated using the 2000 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. All annuity reserves are calculated using an assumed interest rate of at least 3% or 4% per year.   The Individual Annuitant Mortality Tables utilized are subject to change in conjunction with changes in the tables currently adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Sponsor and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the variable annuity account by the Sponsor to cover greater longevity of annuities than expected.  Required adjustments to the reserves are accomplished by transfers to or from the Sponsor.

9. TAX DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, a variable annuity contract, other than a pension plan contract, 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 Sponsor believes that the Variable Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Variable Account will continue to meet such requirements.

1 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.
 
2 Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the Sub-Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, and distribution 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.
 
3 Ratio represents the total return for the year indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of units. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in reduction in the total return presented.
 
4 The unit values are not a direct calculation of net assets over the number of units allocated to the Sub-Account.

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 Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), which is controlled by Delaware Life Holdings, LLC.

The organization chart of Delaware Life Holdings, LLC is incorporated by reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 49 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4, File No. 333-83516, filed May 1, 2014.

None of the companies listed in such Exhibit 15 is a subsidiary of the Registrant; therefore, the only financial statements being filed are those of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

Item 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

As of March 31, 2014, there were 7,166 qualified and 4,966 non-qualified contract owners.

Item 28. INDEMNIFICATION

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of the By-laws of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) provides for the indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (U.S.) 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 (U.S.) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, controlling person of Sun Life (U.S.) 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 (U.S.) will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS
